ahh i remembered i have this book and i gotta say it really nails at least the finnish chapters and what we are like 😂 like this joke that finnish ppl think that if a stranger smiles at them, they must either be drunk, insane or american LMAO. very true. for the longest time i thought that if a stranger started talking to me they must either be drunk/on drugs or not right in the head 💀
..these days i only sometimes think that. depends on the person. today i was about to hop on my bike to cycle home, and some random guy walked past me and went ":D:D:D what a lovely weather for cycling we have today!!" i think he was sane lmao, he did apologize for bothering me which I thought was weirder than starting a random convo with a stranger. maybe my serious reply of "yeah it sure is 😐" put him off lol

[ 𝐒𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐓 ] ― sender feeds receiver something sweet ( acai fruit )
the gift weighed heavy in his hand. no more than five of the little things, misshapenly round and blue as the lagoon under night skies, rested in the curve of his palm and begged to be devoured. marlowe's lips were already stained bluish purple, a painted bruise of evidence that one of the little fruits had already danced down his tongue. still, despite its sweetness, his face twisted into the sourest of expressions, accusatory eyes falling on cecco.
" what's this ? " , he demanded with more vitriol than was necessary. an offering, a gift . . . a sign of pity ? marlowe's complexion had greyed and dulled, his ribs etched harshly into his skin. the appearance of hunger adorned him. still, it would do no good to let a human think so highly of themselves, like some self-righteous savior, by offering him kindness in the form of stupid fruit. as sweet as it tasted, they did nothing to nourish the merfolk. his body craved something more, something brutal.
" if you truly wished to save my poor soul from wasting away, you'd offer me something better. one of your fingers would do fine. " the acai fruit was thrown where the pirate stood, rolling along the rocks at their feet. sharp teeth gritted into a mean smile. " so easy were you to give one up. what's another two or three ? i promise to make it worth your while . . . mio dolce. " his tongue snapped and eyes glittered, starving for a fight. picking and prodding desperately at the pirate to take the bait. come closer, his muscles begged. just another step.

You know something I just now considered
I see a lot of "Bruce sees Danny and immediately goes adopt mode"
And I see a decent amount of "Danny sees Jason and immediately goes adopt mode"
May I humbly propose: Both.
Except Danny and Bruce clock each other and it's just
Bruce: Can't adopt my son if you are my son
Jason: Your what
Danny: Can't adopt me if we're co-parenting
Jason: If you're what???

STATUS UPDATES: GOING INTO 2024
2023 has been rough for me in all manner of ways but I will say it has been very fruitful with regards to my writing. I managed surpass my goal of 100k words, reaching an unfathomable 150k at present, and I’ve even managed to hit a big milestone when it comes to my following! I’m extremely grateful to all my readers, both those that have stuck with me and those who are new, and I wish I had adequate words to really express that. but going into 2024 I will likely be writing less frequently than I did this year. this is due to my own health, and a multitude of other problems that I can no longer keep on the back burner.
plenty of you have seen mentions of hospital visits and procedures on my blog, and while I’m not very comfortable oversharing about medical stuff I do want to be transparent about the fact that I will be posting fics less because of it. I’ve been in and out of semi hiatus for the better part of 4 months but I was always awful at sticking to it. next year I want to actually give myself grace, and take care of my body.
please do not fear!!! this resolution actually aligns perfectly with my writing goals for 2024. I want to focus on lengthening my word counts. I’d love to post fewer fics, but to have said fics be 25 to 50k respectively, rather than to post a lot of 1 to 15k fics. mostly I want to work on my own impatience when it comes to writing, and berate myself less for what I think I should be doing writing-wise. I will still be around on here, and I always want to talk with you guys (and read whenever the mood strikes!!), the biggest difference is I’ll have longer projects, and you’ll have to wait for them (though if I’m honest I will likely still post a shorter fic here and there lol).
I appreciate the patience a lot of you have already shown me this year, what with my random breaks and gaps between posting. you have all been so so kind and generous with your praise and I wouldn’t be here, writing and sharing, without that support. I love you all and wish you well going into the new year!!!!!

i understand this is like. objectively a wild thing to bitch about when yr average woman wants to lose weight but it is really so fucking bizarre and disheartening to be asked "how are you so skinny how do you do it" by women who are really honestly beautiful and healthy and i am genuinely so jealous of their bodies' ability to maintain some semblance of body fat. i have to say "i wish i weighed more" and they look at me like i'm crazy and then i have to say "every time i manage to gain 5-10lbs i inexplicably get really sick and lose all the weight i gained and it's a vicious cycle of never really feeling healthy" and that's not the answer they want to hear and they still don't understand why i want to gain weight and like. hhhh. makes me sad. i love you you're so pretty and i am chronically ill

reminder: your body needs sugar and carbs and fats to thrive. if you can get these in the form of fruits or bread or cheese or whatever that's great, but sometimes that's not realistic. and eating "unhealthy" foods* is better than depriving yourself of nutrients altogether.
*please see tags for full context

im now picturing hunger au grian using appearance code changes or something to disguise how skinny he's getting before each life game because he doesnt want his friends to worry over something he's convinced they can't fix
OUGH,,,, this is the kinda shit i think abt for aus of hunger au like All The Time (a friend and i are constantly coming up with those bc we love drama WKDNSMSM)
Ive been thinking about like, the potential limitations of surface code and changing your appearance recently, for both Players and other entities, and how that would play into other stats, and im tentatively thinking that its tied to your hunger bar. Havent worked out the specifics of that tho; a lot of my worldbuilding comes from sorta percolating on everything and letting it simmer for a while, so im throwing this in the blender with everything else and i'll see what eventually comes out LOL
Its probably less limiting for Players tho, who have a strong, adaptable code framework and dont tend to starve-- but for Watchers in particular their code is too brittle to support changing back and forth too much without it being supplemented by feeding. I think for canon he'd have to disguise how thin he's getting in other ways, and part of that is probably isolating more and more the hungrier he gets-- up until he physically cant, at least.

Im in such an obey me mood today haha
other than "pls dont tell asmo about that",,,, i have questions about these freaking vegetables
(im putting under the cut since im talking about food and bad eating habits/diet related stuff)
im assuming they would have to be mixed with other regular ingredients to prevent the hunger but it sounds like ppl would use them as the main component in a dish or just eat them by themselves
So does all of it get digested? No leftovers (waste) comes out the other end im guessing? is it like a magic type thing?? it has to be right? Cause if not...ur body will take the calories needed to replace the ones burnt, take the nutrients, and the rest will just get tossed out
And since it doesnt make you full, like wouldnt it be way too easy to overeat this type of thing? so you could accidentally end up making urself go to the restroom more often :/
Ig if it gives u the nutrients u need that itll be useful then. So maybe its a 'heres ur macros for the day' type dealo? but u still have to go eat an actual meal or make sure u mix it with other stuff tho
