Some more pages! Here's also some of the less Azi & Crow focused ones, or, less Azi focused, at least...

I'm really happy lots of people liked these so much! It's an older project, so it hurts a bit to look at, since I've gotten much better since, but I do like some of them still!

last day of class!!!

now only my practical and oral exam are left i do have to go back to school for preparing the fashion show and maybe some voluntary sewing with the help of one of my teachers but that all depends on how capable I feel of leaving the bed after next week

and then my graduation ceremony and I will never have to see my horrible teacher again but there are also some really lovely teachers I will remember fondly and I will miss my classmates and seeing one of my favorite people every day and going through this experience with them together and i will miss being taught sewing and tailoring a few more weeks and 40 hours of sewing and I am officially a journeyman tailor. or seamstress or dressmaker or custom tailor or whatever you want to call it in English though I like the term seamstress. sounds like mistress of seams, as if I am reigning over seams. which I technically am.

Okay, yeah, no. It isn't entirely harry styles and taylor swift. It's mostly exclusively seven by taylor swift ever since the heartstopper lesbians (/pos) claimed it, and like a handful of others...but taylor swift is not a queer icon. She's just not. Neither is harry styles. Do a lot of queer people like their music? Probably! But in its core it isn't actually "queer music". There's a range and infinite interpretations, but oh my god stop saying taylor swift and harry styles equate to queer culture

Queer music is impossible to define because we are not a monolith and we all have our own tastes and styles but it sure is not harry styles and taylor swift

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

I spent a lot of time handcuffed and in a cage in high school, for a charity bit the grocery store I worked at would do

the bit was that I was "put in jail for having too big a heart" and customers could donate to my bail to get me out (and the money would go to a children's hospital or something)

now. I was very clearly a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a large cage. and I would honestly tell people that I had been in there for hours. and people would say, that's terrible! that's awful! and I would show them my wrists red from the tight handcuffs, and say but I'm sooooooo close to making bail.

and then they would dump some cash in the basket, I'd thank them, and they'd walk away.

and every so often, one of the managers would come by and collect some of the cash, so I could keep being soooooo close to making bail.

I was very good with this bit. Parents with small kids would pay $5-10 if I told their children I had been placed in jail for not cleaning my room/doing my homework, etc. For people in their 20s, I'd threaten that I was very bad at playing the harmonica, but I WOULD play it and we'd all suffer unless they paid me. and for the most amount of money, older men in suits would almost always pay $20s if I avoided eye contact and stammered a lot.

eventually, the managers started to feel bad because I was in the cage so fucking long and often, that I'd need someone to brace me when I got out because I'd have no feeling in my legs. wobbling like a newborn giraffe.

but I would also rake in at LEAST $100 an hour in charity.

so they were like, hey champ. can we, uh, give you a pillow to sit on. in the cage. would you like a pillow so you're not just sitting on a cold metal slab. can we give you a pillow.

and I had to explain to them that if they gave me a pillow, people would think I was more comfortable, so they wouldn't feel as bad, so I'd bring in less money.

the compromise was that they'd bring me a nice coffee every couple hours, which I would have to try to block with my body from the customers.

all this money went to charity. that's what the money was for. it's what was on the sign. but how much they were willing to pay was very contingent on how comfortable I looked, never mind the fact that I was still a teenaged employee handcuffed inside a cage.

and out of the dozens of shifts I did this on, not ONCE did ANYONE say, hey kid I'm going to go talk to your manager because what the fuck is going on here. they would just drop money in the basket, and I'd thank them and sip from my secret drink.

I actually had people get MAD at me that I told them I was far away from bail, they donated like $15, and then 20 minutes I got let out because my shift ended.

again. the money was for charity. it was on the sign that was very clearly placed on the upper half of my cage.

so yeah. even when people think they mean well. people can be really, really fucking stupid.

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

if it's good enough for you, then it deserves to be made. don't let anyone else decide if your story is worth it or not.
