#to help me scratch that itch

[austerulous]

Maybe I shouldn’t be tweaking my muse list while I’m still rocking a fever but, fuck it, we ball.  I’ve removed Saint Adeline and the Dancer, and I’m adding a new test muse:

› MARCO BODT – ( Attack on Titan )

#i haven't written marco in 2+ years please be gentle #the aot rpc is small but steady and it's so nice to see it picking up again ♡ #i'm delighted to report that anri now has an aot verse to play with too #i am sorry about adeline and ceridwyn though #they've been on and off my list a few times so they may come back again #they didn't have active threads but there was an prompt or two for them #and i had been plotting them with folks #sorry it won't come to fruition! #i just need to make some attempt to keep my little lizard brain in line #i will be giving anri a bloodborne verse #to help me scratch that itch #maybe as a blood saint maybe as a caretaker of the children of the orphanage #( though she wouldn't be privy to the knowledge of what happens to those children ) #( she couldn't condone it / her faith is not strong enough to participate in or permit experimentation on children ) #anyway i hope you all have a good saturday and a chill weekend ahead of you ♡ #i slept for 10 hours last night istg i better start feeling better soon 😤 #i've been ' cancel everything / stay home ' sick for a week now - who has time for that??? #i didn't get back to people re. plots yesterday but maybe today!!! #◈ — ooc; puffin speaks

Dp x Dc prompt 2

Danny gets punted into the Dc universe somehow and loses his memories along the way. Team Phantom and maybe some of his rouge gallery are currently scrambling to find him.

Meanwhile Ma and Pa Kent are very happy to have another son that fell from the sky.

#Ma and Pa Kent: adopting another child that fell from the sky: It's not much but it's honest work #this could also be ghost king danny #mainly because i like ghost king danny. funky little child king. #superman just pulls up and sees danny floating helping with farm work and is just: #🧍‍♂️''Ma and Pa is that another Kryptonian'' #and they just give an explanation that's really just a metaphorical shrug #''we don't really know he fell through the barn roof earlier this week in a super getup and now he's your brother'' type beat #idk i just really love it when Ma and Pa adopt danny it just scratches an itch on my brain #it's also really funny when Superman meets Danny and immediately goes ''He's Just Like Me FR'' <- thinks he's Kryptonian #dp x dc #dc x dp #dp x dc prompt #dc x dp prompt #dp x dc crossover #dc x dp crossover #danny phantom #danny fenton #team phantom #blobus speaks

Do you ever sit and think about how Xiao promised to essentially be Lumine's executioner. Do you ever think about how he said he'd kill for her if she wished so. Do you ever think about how Xiao spent thousands of years participating in bloodshed and massacre and thinks that it's all he was meant to be. Do you ever think about how he sees Lumine as a pure soul that deserves none of that suffering he pretty much drowned himself in. Do you ever think about how he can only feel useful to Lumine as a weapon and thus offered himself to her as one.

BUT ALSO! Do you ever think about how Lumine NEVER calls for Xiao to fight for her? Do you ever think about how she almost died fighting a GOD in Inazuma and only called Xiao after the whole ordeal was over and she wanted him to eat a dish? Do you ever think about how she absolutely refuses to use Xiao as the weapon he thinks he is? Do you ever think about how Lumine sees Xiao as a pure soul that deserves none of the torment and endeavors to give him peace in any way she can?

#help me i think i got bit by the xiaolumi bug #it's itching and scratching and i only found release by screaming in the void #anyway do you ever think about lumine's angelic imagery and xiao's demonic imagery #she is the descender that will liberate the world #he is the great demon conqueror #a bright star that gives blessings and a harbinger of doom that thrives in the darkness #but do you also ever think about how they're just... lumine and xiao #and they have their own problems and sorrows and they find solace in each other #crazy right #genshin impact #lumine #genshin xiao #xiaolumi

FUCK dude... doc and hush but hush knows what he's doing. Hold on let me elaborate. All this time Hush has been acting clueless about physical contact and what it entails ( him asking doc to keep their hand on his chest bc he likes it without blinking an eye) BUT what if he's been,, hitting on doc all this time in his own way??? Obviously he's new to elegy and all, but in his first audio he left Doc with a blown kiss and??? HOW are THEY supposed to react to that?!??!?!

#redacted audio #redacted asmr #redactedverse #redacted hush #AAAAUGHHHH IM IN THE HUSH PIT AGAIN GET ME OUT GET ME OUT GET ME OUT!!!! #i cant help that he scratches the itch in the back of my mind!!!!!!!!!

Ok so I was wondering like

Top 0.005% of listeners. That's Pretty Damn Small. But I was wondering Just how small...

357.1k monthly listeners

0.005% of 357.1k is... just under 18...

Guys. I'm within the top 20 listeners for IAMX. Period. 🫣

#speculation nation #16K MINUTES OF MY 59K TOTAL MINUTES FOR THE YEAR... #A LITERAL 27% OF ***ALL*** MUSIC I LISTENED TO THIS YEAR........ #cant help gettin emo i guess #like i knew he'd be indisputably my top artist but. holy fuck. #THIS ALSO ISNT INCLUDING THE SNEAKER PIMPS ALBUM... which ive listened to obsessively too #as an extension of the obsession with his music. bc he sings in it. #SOMETIMES AN ARTIST HITS U LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN and ur left like. yeah. yeah . #helps that hes got so many albums so i spent Months slowly making my way through them all. #but then i just kept listening to him bc his music just... scratches an itch in my brain idk. #in part it's the grief. Metanoia was a crutch of an album after my uncle died. #and also with my cat... it was just. nonstop IAMX. for Months. #ive been branching out more again recently bc i do like some variety in the music i listen to #but if i want music but dont know what to play it just always ends up going back to IAMX #because it's dependable. it's enjoyable. it's Comfortable. #his music feels like a reset button for me. like returning to a dark room to sleep at night. #it's not dark for the sake of darkness. but for the comfort of it. existing honestly. existing without fear of judgement. #and bringing the analogy together i really have listened to his music to help me sleep a few times #not often just bc i usually dont listen to music as i sleep. im a light sleeper so i need white noise. #but there were a few times i found myself without a working fan. so i turned to his music to act as white noise instead. #not actual white noise of course. but the function of it. the Comfort. the familiarity. #pick one of his lowkey albums and just let it keep going. and it works. it does. #so like. it makes sense. it does. i understand entirely why i rank so high in his monthly listeners. #it's just a bit mind boggling to actually see the tangible numerical value hfkshdjd bc. man. man...

getting repeated phone calls from a job i applied to while half-delirious in dublin upon just waking up not even sure if i wanted to work there like

#STOPPPP CALLINGG MEEEE I CANT HELP IT I SEE AN OPEN POSITION I APPLY IT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING #'HELLA STOP APPLYING TO JOBS WHEN YOU KNOW YOU WONT LEAVE YOUR CURRENT PLACE' HOWWWWWWW #IT'S LIKE AN ITCH I NEED TO SCRATCH I HAVE TO DO IT. GET MY ASS OFF INDEED IT'S LIKE HEROIN TO ME #THEY LEFT ME A VOICEMAIL 😭 WHAT IF I KILLED MYSELF #it's like. better than my current job in every way the pay is better the rotas are reliable it's a chain so there's training #and it's generally run better it's a really renowned restaurant that ive never even been to bc it's too spenny etc etc #and im still here like 'but. i like my old job :(' LIKE GIRL YOU ARE BROKE.

Do any of you ever have that thing where one of your body parts feels really weird and the only way to fix it is to flap it around a bit and then it feels better like nothing hurts but it just feels really weird and I have to wave it around or flap it around or rub it on things is that just me or do other people have that too

#ask tumblr #science side of tumblr #because I also wanna know why that’s happening #it’s like scratching an itch but it’s not an actual feeling except that it just feels like it needs to move around a bit #i hope that’s not just me #usually it’s my legs I guess #especially my right leg for some reason #i need to have socks on when I get into bed #but it’s unusual for me to wake up with the sock on my right foot #because at some point in the night it must slide off (I’m a movey sleeper) #it feels weird those days when it’s not slid off in the night #my left foot is fine I guess #sometimes the socks on both feet need to slide off #but usually it’s my right foot #it feels so weird to talk about #i can’t think of why this would be logical behaviour #maybe it’s a sensory thing #i need to feel things on my right leg #i think? maybe? #help me out here

[gog-urt]

[starlightkun]

genuine question, how do you write so fast? 😭 i feel like you’re so quick with your works, both writing and putting them out!!

also i found your tumblr on ao3 and i have to say that you are carrying nct fics on ao3. i hope you never stop writing cause i could be 40 and i would still read your stuff 🫶

i think a big thing has been getting out of my head abt writing! like i only write when i want to, i don't stick to word counts (minimums or maximums), and i dont compare myself to other writers (not that i read a whole lot of fic anymore, but there's a few that i still keep up with and one of them churns out fics way faster than i do, and another who posts like maybe two or three times a year but i still love them!) like i've def said this before, but for me, writing fic is fun, it's something i do bc i want to and if i open a word doc and i'm genuinely dreading it, i'm not gonna do it (my adhd brain simply will not make me lol--tho that is a double edged sword bc i do have to chase myself into doing something i like sometimes, but the ritalin has helped a lot xx)

i also dont go into my fics completely clueless anymore. like, i for sure don't know everything, i learn a lot along the way, and tend to change stuff (and get surprised by my own fics, which is always fun!), but i definitely have more of an outline and general sort of sketch of the fic in my brain and in my word doc before i start actually writing real scenes of any sort, which has definitely helped. like, starting with one little idea isn't bad at all (strawberry sunday literally just started w the fact that i liked the title of a song that i hadn't even heard yet and it turned into like 10 fics??), but i dont just start writing head empty anymore (i used to get a tiny spark of inspiration and try to write everything start to finish immediately because i thought i'd lose it if i didn't, and it'd burn really short. now i sort of just sit with it and slowly tend to it like fire instead and it lasts a lot longer and gets a lot bigger). i ruminate a lot before anything that looks remotely like a story leaves my ideas doc and gets its own doc

idk if this necessarily makes me write faster, but i also edit as i write? like, sometimes i open a fic and i don't have anything in me to write, but i'll reread what's in the draft so far and edit, make little changes, fix continuity errors, etc. not only does it keep the whole plot so far fresh in my mind as i continue writing, but then i have a lot less to proof myself when i finally finish the whole thing because i've already caught a lot of spelling, grammatical, and plot errors! i used to find editing a slog to do bc when i finished my first draft i would be so excited and wanted to just post it! and didn't want to reread all this stuff i just wrote several times to try to find typos, and now it's usually a breeze bc my first draft isn't really my first draft, it's been continually revised as it was drafted. and sometimes i open a doc, won't feel like writing, tinker around with some editing, then suddenly have a lightbulb moment while i'm editing and jump into writing

#its been soooo mindset and not fighting how my own brain works for me lol #like this is not my job its supposed to be fun and if its not then i simply will not do it #and i really look forward to coming home and writing fic #i think getting out of academia has helped bc this is what can scratch that itch for me now without burning me out lol #<<< former english major #answered #anonymous #talk #text #mine #fb #writing tag

Non eczema sufferers will literally NEVER understand.

#it's crazy to me but my whole life I have never met a single person who gets It. #unless they too have eczema #You don't get it to feel fucking hideous. #To live in a world that actively shames anyone who doesn't have porcelain perfect skin #meanwhile your skin is flaking off non stop. it's risen and bright red and furiously itchy. #You don't understand people saying “don't scratch. have u been scratching??” #but the thing is most of the time you don't even realise you're doing it #or you're fucking waking up at night to your body rabidly scratching itself without you even being conscious. #or when it fucking is on purpose and it feels like such a relief even though as you do it you know you should stop because the pain after #isn't worth it #when you feel yourself lose control. #When you feel like a fucking prisoner CONSTANTLY stuck in your body. #When you want to just fucking cut the skin off to be free from the itch. #When your self esteem is so fucked up because you can't match up to any standard of “nice” skin cos your skin is all inflamed. dry. and #lacking elasticity #and nothing helps #there's no fucking cure. #and everyone else just lives life without knowing how lucky they are that their skin isn't burning itchy all the time #how lucky they don't constantly feel the urge to scratch themselves till they bleed and scab. #They just don't fuckign get it.

ok I’m getting a bit obsessed with Spiritbox guys

#i’ve listened to mostly them for the last few days lol #some is a little heavy for me but i’m getting into those songs too #and the more mixed/melodic ones are just such a vibe #makes a change listening to female vocals too :) #that along with the heaviness and electronic elements scratches a different itch somehow #i love the repeated lyrics/songs flowing into each other on the fear of fear especially #angel eyes pushes my tolerance for heaviness but cellar door is growing on me and the others are awesome #i’ve noticed finding out the lyrics helps me enjoy the harsh vocals more so i’ll persevere - there’s a couple of other bands i’ve been #exposing myself to them via too. i won’t listen to stuff that i don’t like but i like heavier music so getting used to that would be good #and when it’s a few lines in a breakdown or something i actively like it so… progress! #dustnroses.txt #spiritbox #metal #metalcore

[borom1r]

I’m going to start throwing up anyways I’m playing slightly looser with the grammar bc I’m translating a song and euphonics play a more important roll than normal and ALSO I CANT FIND ANY ATTESTATIONS FOR “TONIGHT”??????? so that’s just a WILD fucking guess based on “today”

anyways literally 3 lines of the first verse of a Lament for Boromir translated into Sindarin bc I am. mentally ill.

#ONLY THREE LINES. WHY DID I THINK THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA. #(I didn’t) (I have autism) (besties help.) #lotr #whatever I’ll dump this in the tag so ppl can blacklist if so desired #this hit me like a fucking freight train I HAVENT THOUGJT ABT THIS FRANCHISE SINCE MIDDLE SCHOOL. #why was I cursed with linguistics autism. #HYPEREMPATHY *AND* LINGUISTICS AUTISM. putting myself thru translation hell bc it scratches brain itch AND MAKING MYSELF SAD AT THE SAME #FUCKING TIME.
