You know, just pass...

#not to complain but #idk about you but I've been thinking #I'm afraid of getting older #day by day #and having to act like an adult and mature #without experiencing any 'crazy' thing #i mean doing any childish thing and being excused due ti my age #i mean I can't afford that anymore #and it's frustrating #and upsetting #and sad #and draining #eleminim #ik it may not be worth it but #again

Ruby: I was born in 2004 and-

Me, able to hear the dice in my head rolling for psychic damage: H u h

#this is a grown adult woman old enough to be the doctor's companion and she was born in the same year as my little sister #and sure my little sister is an adult now but like she's still sixteen in my head #and #like #i'm not afraid of getting older #but i /am/ afraid of the passage of time #which does not seem real to me #doctor who #ruby sunday #should i tag this spoilers?#nah #this is such a minor line #dw

#kotallo taking the top spot!#spotS actually #congratulations sir #number 4 is improved by foibs's reaction image addition so i've changed the link to that post lol :D thanks foibs #(i went to add the video in here manually bc it doesn't appear and oh boy oh fuck my videos folders are a mess. T_T i couldn't find it)#(i'm sure it's on my older laptop but it's not near me lmao. so here's the probably even crappier sourced-from-tumblr version)#i think number 9 got reblogged recently by some people who don't know it's from a game #... for a second i was afraid i was going to have another rat situation on my hands haha #of these numbers 5 and 10 are my faves!#i added the second image to 5 bc i think they're cooler as a pair - some of these posts are photosets but you only get the first image #honorable mention to beta in 7 - getting that holo display thing lined up how i wanted was a bit of a pain ^^;#tumblrtop10

Sent an application for a kitten on Petfinder tonight. I'm irrationally scared they'll reject me for some reason :/ but Selkie needs a buddy and I've been scrolling looking for a little face that calls to me. And she does. So I hope I hope!

#my first fear is that the agencies site says uou have to be within “an hour and a half of the Chicago suburbs”#and I'm just barely outside that depending on where they use to calculate?#and idk if they'll be weird about it for some reason or if i should have just #not applied #secondly although she's a little black thing #she had faint tabby stripes and the listing calls her “smoke”#and I'm a little afraid they'll see on my application that my last cat was a bengal #and be weird and snobby and assume I'm just out looking for fancy colors #yes siren was a bengal but she was also according to my vet close to 9 or 10 years old #the rescue labeled her at 7 probably to help adopt her #since i know older cats don't go fast #and between losing my dad and then my lifelong cat #and having always loved bengals #i felt so much like they helped point me to her #somehow #and her personality was so much like fiddlesticks it was crazy #we just fit #maybe that's still shallow of me idk #but anyway it's a factor #im forever scared of doing things wrong and getting yelled at by people who think i should have known better #or something #so I'm afraid #that's all

NAPOWRIMO25 #11: hope v. fear

#prompt: write a poem incorporating song lyrics as opposing phrases / refrains.#the example was a villanelle that didn't rhyme so i decided to go with a more classical villanelle.#lyrics are from orville peck's song let me drown and are (i hope obviously) the lines ''i know there's good things that're coming your way'#(which i changed to 'hope' for my purposes here) and ''but as i get older i get more afraid''#i'm not super pleased with this one but i never like my villanelles. when i do rhyming poetry i struggle so bad to incorporate imagery lol.#anyway if you think you know what this poem is about no you fucking don't. that's our thinly veiled and frankly poorly kept secret.#''damien you literally made the title sound like a legal case'' okay well fuck you alternate title incoming #alternate title: ''who the hell is murphy's lawyer i'd like to have a word with him''#spilled ink #poetry #poems #poetry on tumblr #poets on tumblr #napowrimo #napowrimo 2025 #glopowrimo #writeblr #poems on tumblr #damien.txt #image description in alt

What a time to be alive in America for an early career scientist

#i need an older scientist to tell me it's going to be ok #because I'm afraid it might not #ny poor uncle and grandmother depend on medicade and the medical studies that just got cancelled #we're going back to the 1860s of privately funded research #and i'm terrified #i didn't get into grad school #I'm sick #and I'm saving any data sets i can find to work on #still want my docterate though #sciblr #donald trump

i'm working on drawing a lineup of all my fnaf human characters, and i had to go back to add jen - henry's sister - because i forgot her. and i regret to inform you that i am now obsessed with her.

#i like to think that in the silver eyes william Knew about robo charlie and still wanted access to the energy that brought her to life #but never went to go get her himself until he had baby to go do it for him. because jen had her. and he knew better than to try it with her #i love the idea of henry's big sister being the one person william's a little afraid of #anyways i'm drawing her as henry's scruffy butch older sister and she rules and i love her

Ya'll I'm heartbroken. I forgot that one of my obsidian folders was local to my phone, it wasn't stored anywhere other than that device. I was in such a rush to activate this new one, I forgot to back it up before transferring all the files over to the new phone😭

Luckily all my writing is in the cloud, so nothing was lost on that front, but I did lose about a year's worth of journal entries and inebriated ramblings 😭

#personal #not writing #I had a mild panic attack until I confirmed the writing I was working on yesterday had transferred #But I was very sad when I realized I lost all that unfiltered emotional journey. And stupid jokes.#Pour one out for me tonight guys (gender neutral)#My hail Mary is that I forgot to take it off my laptop. It'll be older but I'd still have the majority of it #God I feel so stupid #Why didn't I back up a hard copy of my phone #But ya know what...it's oddly freeing.#I'll blame my recent commitment issues on wanting to use my phone less #I guess I saw it as the perfect opportunity to get rid of garbage files #I'm not afraid of having to rewrite something either

On Insecurities

I reread the draft for More Human Than Human and a couple of my own original works and I just.

Man. I wish this asshole author would write the rest of it. I wanna read what happens next. It was getting so good.

100k words into a old original story that's reached over 230k, I stopped because I remembered that part. I remembered being stuck on it just like I'm stuck on MHTH now. I remember thinking the same way. And if I'd listened to that stupid thought, that other 130k, some of it containing some of the best writing I think I've ever done, wouldn't be there. And then I reached the end of that 230k. The end is waiting to be written. I wanna read it. I might even enjoy writing it. What the hell is holding me back?

I'm still into My Hero Academia. I'm still into Sonic the Hedgehog. I'm still into my own original works that have a whole-ass lore and universe of their own. They're so different from each other but they all came the same tap (me).

TLDR: fuck you, insecurities, I'm doing it, and I'm telling mom (Tumblr).

#it's me I'm the author #I'm always afraid I've somehow lost the ability to write as goodly as I used to #even if 'used to' is just a few months ago #it's never true but damn if it doesn't get emotionally exhausting after a while #whether it's been years or months or days and the person who wrote that is long gone #the person who's still here is still that person just a lil older and wiser so #in case my inner pep talk helps someone else whose going thru the mental trials of fire #I'm writing it on this blog #honestly if you're still here you're used to me whining about writing instead of doing writing so im in good company #fic ramblings

I really need someone to kick my ass into writing again because every night I sit at my computer thinking tonight is going to be the night and then it isn't

#like not even in a writer's block sense it's that I'm not even trying #I just haven't written in a long time but I'd probably get back to the level I was at or even higher because I'm well. Older and Wiser now #and no one is even going to see it if I don't like it and keep it to myself so what am I afraid of exactly??#we just don't know!

my family's a mix of "went grey in their 30s" and "simply does not go grey until their 90s or something" and I'm kinda hoping I got the "go grey earlier" genes bc then I might look "older" and maybe I'll stop getting hit on by random customers

#the guy today was at least polite enough to back off a bit and admit that I was too young for him which like thank god #but also why would you hit on a service working they are in customer service mode that is not their core personality #I like my hair color a lot actually but I'm not afraid of going grey and it might help offset some of the...weird interactions I have #or it might make them weirder I dunno #allegedly older women are less attractive than younger women and I don't want to be attractive so #then again there's rumors amongst the coworkers that our company might be going under sooner rather than later so #maybe I'll be able to get a a better job w/ less customer service requirements #oracle of lore

my sister makes fun of my glacier phobia* but i just ran her out of the room by talking about how old sharks are so

#*it's an abstract phobia like i'm not afraid of irl glaciers which are very cool (rimshot)#but i am terrified of their literal transformative power to flatten mountains and transport sediment hundreds of miles #and the fact that east coast earthquakes are primarily caused by the earth still trying to get back to where it was pre-glacier #it's so much power and everywhere you go in the midwest is flat because of one or hilly because it didn't have one OR the glacier melted #even the glacier-melt hills are mostly sediment and rock moraines deposited by the glacier!!!! you can't escape!!!#anyway sharks are 450 million years old which is what 449.98 million years older than homo sapiens 🙃 (that's why she fled)#usually older people are less smooth but i guess sharks aren't really people #i don't think my math is right on the homo sapiens thing. 499.8? someone help me my family is dying #i'm not even high rn

i'm so brave, just called to ask my GP (nbd, I have a family doc for the first time in 15 years~~~) for an appointment and when it turned out she's away until mid-Sept i only self-destructed the conversation a little bit!!! turns out that phobia's still kinda going I guess

#maybe i'm afraid of dr office receptionists as well as doctors #fun discoveries to make as i get older #but genuinely: am proud of myself for actually calling lol #gratuitous textpost about yourself #now to read another chapter of tuesday murder club before i get back to the mountain of emails i've gotten since aug 10th
