#punctuality

[marzipanandminutiae]

I cannot remember the last time I had plans with friends that involved picking me up and I didn't get a text shortly before the appointed time that was like "hey sorry I slept in/felt bad not helping my parents with something/another Fully Preventable Thing and I'm going to be [anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour late]!"

and I know I shouldn't complain because picking me up is very kind of them

but like. it's getting really old and it stresses me out to no end. I don't understand how I'm almost always capable of being where I need to be at the appointed time and it feels like nobody else is.

brought to you by: I have been sitting here ready for an hour and twenty minutes now and my friends are STILL not here yet. and we're going to something where parking fills up EARLY and I'm so stressed that I'm on the verge of tears, about us maybe not getting parking

I hate plans changing. I hate upheaval. and I get it if it's impossible to avoid, like a breakdown of a car or something, but- you didn't have to stop and help your parents paint a fence if you had somewhere to be! you didn't have to stay up late! none of this is ever unavoidable!

i hate it so much when people are late, like not only is it hassling but also a waste of time for the person you are standing up.

also if your response to this is "oh but i am FASHIONABLY late" grow the fuck up. it's inconsiderate and one of the most worthless social constructs i have ever seen in life.

if you want things to be like that may your paychecks and periods and every other important stuff and happy stuff be forever late in your life

Cookiefate for April 7th: "Punctuality is the expression of commitment."

Don't come off thirsty, sleep in late today. Keep them guessing.

The reason why I arrive early to things is not because i plan well, its because I get anxious in advance very well. I be sleeping a day before a meeting and dream of getting late and the next day every action will revolve how it can get prolonged and then I’ll be late for the “thing”. I am like a protagonist of a jane austen novel who the hot chick falls in love with

💫 Keep your unrealistic punctuality expectations to yourself 🤚 | Here’s a rough timelapse of the making of Louise. I first sketched her years ago in an old sketchbook I no longer own. As soon as the pen-and-paper sketch was ready, I began drawing her on my iPad, which explains why you see me tracing digitally from a notebook page.

I often start a sketch, and in the process, a story or a piece of dialogue will come to me—that’s how I’ll know I have something. This process reminds me a bit of how songwriters create music: some of them come up with the melody first and then the lyrics, while for others, the lyrics always come first. Well, in my case, the sketch usually comes first, and the story takes shape as I draw.

As nothing came to me while tracing her for the second time, I set her aside for months—years, actually—and I’d nearly given up on her until a few weeks ago, when I found her while looking through my old sketch files for inspiration. And then it came to me, so here she is 💖 our queen of running late, Louise.

It's never really what time it is.

@queer-and-quire I DEMAND YOU CHANGE MY NAME BACK. THIS IS SLANDEROUS.

Sometimes I’m only 25 minutes late.
