Shout out to anyone that ever made a character that’s a ‘Secret Government experiment’ that escapes the lab and is now wanted and misunderstood. That’s top tier character design, thank you.

Tag the OC that takes everything very seriously

#jennepher #she's a reformed thief-turned-PI so now when she takes stuff #it's serious #i kid i kid i know what you meant #and if we're going on just straight everything is a serious thing to consider i would have to say that's Billy #but that's partially because he's kind of just meant to be a pretty face #he has very specialized knowledge in very specific zones #and doesn't always catch when a joke is happening #it doesn't help that he was partially raised by Jian who has the stonest cold face and can't take anything seriously #(it's his secret)

well. *i* think my response to having something mildly ominous said before the house was left empty and everyone i love is out on the road was actually completely reasonable and the sobbing breakdown in the kitchen because i didn't get to say "I love you" to any of them before they left home was more than well within my rights. It's not like i could do anything if something happened, even without a warning.

gonna blame my dad specifically for this one, and the way he handled fights with my mom when i was little. we're gonna add on the more than once i was left somewhere after pickup time because they were running late and i didn't know why but i knew one of the reasons it could be was Real Real Bad (currently superstitious, scared of invoking problems). Did it ever turn out it was that way? no but that didn't fucking stop me from assuming it could be.

if you're reading this and know who i am, if you could just leave a little explainer by your ominous goodbye statements, especially if you're leaving them before i've woken up, that'd be great.

#god i'm so glad only like 2 people follow this blog #and neither of you are the problem btw but also if you find yourself needing to leave an ominous statement #before you go off to what you perceive to be your certain doom #if you could just like give context as to what the hell is going on so i know exactly how hard i need to worry actually that'd be nice #and thank you in advance for doing so #i understand circumstances may not allow but it turns out i have a LOT of trauma around not getting to say goodbye the last time i talk to #someone - or the potentiality of it anyway #like. weeping in the kitchen even though i am currently relatively certain it was an overreaction on the initial person's part #because what if they're right now it's them AND our partner #who are in danger #and the other other person is *also* out of the house right now so i'm ALONE #and the cats DO NOT CARE #and i am going to remain terrified until everyone is home safe again tonight #and there's probably going to be fallout for this the rest of the fucking week #because i'm FINALLY fucking able to be surrounded by people who love me and what if that gets taken away #because i'm not allowed to have it #i'm not allowed to have nice things or people who love me be near me #either they eventually hate me and leave or something bad happens and they can't come back #and i... i'm so scared #and it's not fucking fair that i can't like get angry about it #because i am angry! i'm so fucking angry! how dare you send somethign like that and not expect someoen who lives with you #to be cool finding that right after they wake up before you get home??#even if i hadnt' seen it RIGHT at waking up just before everyone left like #i still would have seen it before anyone had a chance to get home safely like????#but i understand what happened and why it happened the way it did #but also *fuck* man #my OCD is bad enough ESPECIALLY around potential ''abandonment" situations #i don't need ominious goodbyes before you leave the house to get on the highway #my dad almost didn't come back from the highway that one time #a lot of people don't come back from the highway

just once i'd like to have a normal fucking reaction to normal fucking realizations and tiny fucking disappointments

#this *was* going to go on main because i deleted my other post about this situation and then did the othe rone on here #but fuckin no one's following this one so fuck it #it's... it's so fucking stupid #it's so stupid why am i LIKE this #google search: how to have normal fucking reactions to normal every day life shit please thank you #i just. i'm so fucking tired.#i'm so tired of having a big fuckign breakdown *every* goddamn day it seems #like???#....when did this start when did i start having these issues #i need to ... track this maybe #i mean i say like this isn't fucking constant #but it sure does feel like it's kicked up in intensity and frequency here and i don't understand why #watch me have seasonal affective disorder for BOTH winter and summer #and we're back at why can't i just be fucking normal for once jesus christ

i hate this i hate this i hate this i hate this i hate this i hate this

why am i LIKE THIS why is it just stupid shit over and over and over again that sets me off it's nuts. it's not even IMPORTANT. it's so fucking stupid and i just can't fucking handle my shit and now i've insulted at least 3 people by virtue of meltdown, been ungrateful for a gift because it's incorrect, and it's just fucking nuts. just because they're not in the shells doesn't mean they're not the same kind of nut but apparently i can't fucking interact with goddamn Specific Nut unless it's still in its shell so i can be the one to extract it because my stupid goddamn IDIOT brain won't be fucking normal about a single goddamn thing

i hate htis i hate this i hate this i hate this i don't know how to apologize for everything because everyone keeps telling me i don't have to but like I VERY CLEARLY DO.

so what the fuck do i do if my apologies aren't fucing acknowledged because everyone thinks it's fine and i don't need to? like??? no it's not fine i *do* need to apologize for the fucking ridiculous reaction i have to everything i AM interrupting shit *constantly* and like why can't i just... apolgoize when id o those things? why is that not allowed because apologies weren't ever *enough* before but now it's like it's too much but what is the MIDDLE. when do i apologize??? How do i let everyone know i feel really fucking bad about the impact i'm making in their lives when i do out of pocket shit because my autism can't handle the fact that the nuts aren't in their shells and i feel inherently ungrateful for not being okay with having to do less work like??????????

like i'm NOT done with this but none if this is going the way it's supposed to so i don't know how to let it go because i'm not *supposed* to be ungrateful for shit i've been given as a nicety. i'm supposed to be grateful soemone thought of me at all and remembered a preference even halfway like. that's- why-... why can't i just be NORMAL about shit for *five fucking seconds*

i think we as a society need to use cell phones/laptops/cars/backpacks to flesh out characters

#what does their bedroom look like what about their house do they have control over all the spaces or do they have to share #how soon do they go to the gas station when the car is out of fuel #what's their go-to convenience store get #how do they wear their extra inventory slots? extra pockets large jacket bag? is it a two-shoulder-strap-backpack situation #or do they have a messenger bag slung way too low over one shoulder #what do they tell themselves they don't need at the store #what would make them buy it anyway #what is the plushie situation #how are their clothes put away #what is their sock selection like #(now i'm just brainstorming more questions to ask about my characters)
