Animorphs #11: The Forgotten thoughts (pt. 1):

Jake describes shrinking into falcon morph as "dwindling down like a fast-burning candle" (p. 14). You okay there, kid?

"Tobias came zooming up alongside us, zipping around like he'd been born a bird" (p. 16). I mean... y'ain't wrong, Big Jake.

This is one of those books that hinges on the whole idea that things break, even for space-people. Ships crash, because crashes happen. Random weapons malfunctions are a fact of life, if you carry weapons around. Shit happens. Even to alien invaders.

The whole first part of this book lends weight to my hypothesis that Jake is the most, like, aware of being mentally ill. He kind of just accepts that he's hallucinating, chalks it up to "Things I wish I'd never seen... things I'd done I wish I couldn't remember" and then goes back to planning the mission. Marco is the most aware the others are falling apart, that "One of us would snap" (#5), Cassie's the most conscious of the shifting team dynamics, and of course Tobias is the identified patient. But it's Jake who most openly accepts okay, I'm losing my mind; I'll worry about that later. "The good thing about rushing is it didn't give me too much time to think," according to Jake, "thinking meant worry, and worry gets in the way of getting things done" (p. 33).

my 2¢ about today’s announcement:

GOOD FOR HIM.

Yes I’m shooketh, yes I’m sad especially since I missed my only chance to see them in the US in Orlando, but as someone who's struggled with chronic insomnia literally my entire life (I was on several tranquilizers at the same time at one point and even that didn't put me to sleep, and I'm also struggling with a bad episode currently), and combined with past remarks and hints we've gotten from Joel (not even mentioning he put off his shoulder surgery so as not to impact the momentum of the band), as sad as the news makes me, I would much rather Joel step out right now and try to get well, before he burns out permanently and causes himself irreparable harm. Hell, he may have already and that's what led to this (the phrasing in Joel’s statement makes me suspicious of this, but that’s not our business!)

A few days of interrupted sleep impacts your brain the same way being super drunk does. Long-term sleep deprivation can cause PERMANENT BRAIN DAMAGE. Your thought process is DEEPLY impaired and you cannot make proper decisions in that state, which is why I, personally, don't think the timing of this is weird at all. I think (I hope) maybe he finally had at least some days of half-decent sleep or even just good REST if not sleep and realized "I can't do this right now, this is unsustainable."

Do I hope he comes back? Of course.

Do I think this is the end of Joel making music in some form? Absolutely not. Whether it’s just playing his guitar on TikTok, or I could also see songwriting credits, vocal features, or even singles under his own name again after a break (please let this man actually take a break lol).

me: look at all these prompts to choose from, I have so many things to work on, I should make prompts my priority because these wonderful people are waiting on me

my depression brain, returning with a vengeance: comfort fic or nothing. take it or leave it.

[chicago-geniza]

Do you think my editors will notice that my work is only ever turned in between 11 pm and 3 am Chicago time

[whoareyoueventhough]

ok so I've scrolled to the bottom of the tumblr tag, read all their fics on ao3, ff.net, quotev, and wattpad, and scrolled Pinterest for ages. Does anyone know where I can go next to feed this clawing void in my mind demanding MCRobot content

[monsterlets]

okay. got some amount of normal sleep lol. still playing it safe with the taking, felix can loop everyone else in, only action item for me whenver I actually get up is actually remember to check livlyb island actively and straight up hey anjer

please just tell me how many days it's been since i logged in and literally in any way get me the ipa transcription of your name lmao like i don't even know what to do with the j ya feel me. not posting shit here until i hear back from you lol

lemme just grab the most recent picture of my island i can find lol literally none of this is a secret. oh my god actually let me just get one of the random fucking cards lol at this point it's pretty clear why I've been keeping y the same aesthetic with minimal changes fuckin. literally anyone send me requests will prioritze anjer (there's a hard limit of 200 so don't like. start flooding it or anything) and to be clear, open invitation only for random tumblr peopl, if you know me irl at all fuckin identify yourself in some way

there. that works lol

Just gonna link this in the discord i guess. will clean up my friends list. after that feel free to send random requests vaguely identifying yourself and use the word tumblr fucking somewhere. cool lol. appreciate y'all. anjer hit me up. only reading on tumblr until then. peace ✌

Stayed up late watching one of my favourite shows. Felt nice and comfy. Had some snacks and tea. Forced myself to go to bed to get some sleep, I’ve been so tired lately. Got under the covers, realized how much everything hurts, so now instead of staying up having a cozy watching marathon, I’m laying awake staring at the ceiling with painsomnia. As soon as the distractions are gone, the pain hits me all at once. What’s the point trying to fall sleep at all…? I know I’ll wake up just as tired. I try to listen to a podcast. Maybe it will lull me to sleep. This has gone on for weeks now. Longest flare-up period in a while. I got sick about a month ago and thought I’d recover fairly okay. Didn’t. Can’t catch a break in other areas of life either rn. I’m so tired. Maybe I’ll open my laptop again in a couple of hours if I can’t sleep. The sun is already up. I would like to not be.

Stealth Elf and Spyro are both insomniacs and wont tell the other that they are

[witty-username-here]

Social media addiction? You mean Pinterest/Tumblr scrolling that keeps you up until horrible times of night but you can't stop because it makes you feel so much when normally you barely feel anything happening where emotions should be?

...Nnooooo, of course I don't have that...

[hawkinsbnbg]

me: okay, i need to write all of this down asap

brain: hey, let's not do this now.

me: no, i have to! or else i'm gonna lose interest again once the steam runs out!

brain: what if we go read something instead?

me: stop distracting me!

brain: what if... we sleep...?

me: no?? wtf? i'm not... done.... fuck it...zzz

[nagasthia]

start to finish

It only took me 292 days :D

(bec I'm a procrastinator)

Ah I missed my pencils ngl

[adhd-fandom-and-gay]

Everytime people tell me i have a mental disorder it comes up like a year later that i did. Everyone saying i had adhd got proven right, everyone saying i had ocd got proven right, everyone saying i had autism got proven right and are still being proved MORE right as I'm getting even more assessments, and a few years ago some system dm'd me to ask if i was a system and i was like "no i just think theyre very interesting to study :)" and guess what. can you believe it. i was in denial.

apollos prophecy at its finest. this is what i get for being a pagan: the neverending nightmare blunt rotation of mental disorders. /j
