#also sorry I've been so inactive this past week

[trashfangirlsworld]

Hello! I've been inactive due to the current events in the mcyt community, but I've been keeping up with the qsmp admin situation and I thought I'd share some opinions because the amount of doomposting I've seen the last few weeks has been more than I've seen in any fandom in a while and I feel like it's reached the point where people really need to chill the fuck out because they're not thinking straight and actively not helping. Everything I'm gonna say is based on stuff I've seen on both tumblr and twitter.

they should not promote/release merch! : one of the things that baffles me the most tbh; how do you expect any employee to be payed then? Merch is so far the only big source of income for the server besides q's own cc salary or whatever income they get through the official qsmp channel on twitch and youtube (which I don't think is a lot). "I get that they said they have no funds, but still it doesn't feel right"... sorry but at this point I don't know what to tell you, do you expect them to pull money out of their asses? You can't demand that they stop making merch and then complain that they can't afford the twitter admins at the same time. If you don't feel comfortable buying anything from them it's fine obviously, but if your reason for it is that you're helping the admins then I have bad news for you. I have seen people propose that quackity sets up a patreon, and while I think it would be a good idea, I understand why he's not doing it, since with the merch he can at least give something back to the people that choose to support his project instead of people just giving him money for free, especially with what's happening now. Also with how much hate he's been receiving simply for the merch I can't imagine that a patreon would be recieved well.

we don't know if the money is going to the admins/ they should not use pomme's likeness! : the money is definitely going to go to the employees and admins because otherwise the server would not last. And as much as I understand people feeling protective over pomme's admin, quackity studios is very much allowed to sell merch of the character because it is not the likeness of the admin, it's a minecraft model made by the people that work there. Would you have rathered they skip her character entirely? Do you really think that would have been okay?. Also correct me if I'm wrong, but I've seen posts and tweets saying that pomme's admin has been confirmed to come back with the other eggs whenever it happens by pierre, who talked with her admin.

the admins of the update accounts got fired, it means they want to fire everyone, they aren't making things better! : it sucks that the updates accounts had to end and I feel bad for every twitter admin that clearly cared a lot about the project, but unfortunately it had to happen if there simply isn't enough money to pay them adequately like they deserved and ultimately the update accounts were not essential to keep the project going, so it makes sense that they were let go unfortunately. This is not gonna be the case for the egg admins because if they got fired (which they didn't), the server would basically end. Just because a cc does not know when they will be back does not mean it's not gonna happen. Just because tubbo randomly said that he's not sure if they will be back does not mean they were fired; tubbo is normally not a reliable source of information, even less so when he's been live nonstop for the past 20 days, which is prior to everything happening. If you genuinely didn't expect a reduction in non essential staff considering everything, then you have unreasonable expectations on how this stuff goes. As I write this, I'm seeing people saying that "they would understand this decision if q had set up a patreon to pay the admins", and once again I don't understand how people don't realize why quackity might not be keen on the idea of having his fans pay his own employees for his own project instead of, you know, doing it himself; and, again, do not fool yourself into thinking it would be recieved well. That being said, it's fair to criticize how everything was communicated to the admins, but I'll get to this in more detail later.

quackity should not have uninstalled social media, he's trying to avoid everything! : he's not avoiding anything, he's been off social media for a while now, which is why it took him that long to remove wilbur from the server. He has every right to not want to look at social media, as his focus should be on restructuring his server instead of doomscrolling on twitter because people think he needs to see how much people dislike him. The only people that he should talk to are those that have important information to tell him, like josè with the document. He explicitly said on stream where to contact him if you have helpful information and I'm sure that despite multiple well liked posts saying not to spam his email, people are definitely doing it anyway, which is probably gonna slow the whole thing down even more. I hope josè's document is able to be seen with pierre's help as well.

quackity studios is not communicating with their employees and leaving them in the dark and that's not okay : I agree with this. i think a huge chunk of doomposting lately has been due the lack of communication not with the audience, but with the admins, and they deserve to know what is happening behind the scenes more then us since this is about their current or future job.... that being said, I do kind of understand why they're being so secretive and shutting everyone out, and that's due to all the "leaks" that have been spread online. I understand the anger but I really wish some people would realize that discussing leaked bts lore stuff in ccs discord servers does not help the situation at all and instead makes it seem like they're only doing this to rile up the fandom against quackity studios by using the lore of people's fav characters.

At the end of the day, I think people just aren't used to dealing with a situation that does not have a clear cut solution and someone to clearly hate, so the result is this doomposting and the over aggressiveness toward anything related to the project. Personally, I haven't witnessed anything that made me lose faith in the qsmp like some people have been saying, as every change that we've seen so far coincides with what quackity said on stream a while ago. I only wish things were communicated properly to the admins clearly, as they're the ones most affected, so I hope that's resolved soon. Ultimately quackity is singlehandedly restructuring the server from basically zero, has had to fire people that were misusing money and power and, depending on what josè's document said, is probably gonna have to fire some more. This is not an easy process, nor a quick one, you're not gonna hear about sunshine and rainbows for a while and doomposting about everything you hear because you expected quick change is useless. Think before you speak, have a clear head and most importantly have empathy.

Sorry for not being as active as I used to be y'all, I haven't been on here because I've been pouring most of my focus into finishing a backlog of commissions and it has unfortunately left me with no energy to interact and socialize here lol

For the past week alone I've been working on this BEAST of a comm, and both me and my setup had a bit of a technical difficulty with just how BIG this specific commission was, in terms of details and quite literally file size too (this was originally a 5000x3000 piece, which caused a lot of black screens and me waiting for my PC to catch up everytime a 15-minute autosave was happening)

I feel like me suddenly being inactive was a necessary thing as well because as much as I don't want to admit it, my socials have been a bit... distracting... in this pursuit, and I am realizing a very concerning problem. And as such, I had to cut off and limit the amount of times I will be present here in an effort to exert self-control and instill discipline on myself.

I do not have anything new to show unfortunately, and may continue to NOT be able to show anything Digital Circus AU or fandom content at all, so all I can say is I'm sorry is this post is disappointing news because you followed me for that kinda thing.

Also I got a tooth infection(?) and a pink eye lol, how fun /s (don't worry though, I'm still fine and not really in a painful situation, just a minor inconvenience)

I Feel You - Jamie Tartt x demi!Reader

A/N: Hello to my faithful followers! I'm sorry I've been so inactive for the past couple weeks I've been down in the dumps and sorta uninspired.

But the crazy thing is I've hit 1k followers! What? How is that even possible! I'm planning to put together a little celebration soon but for now, here's an unrequested fic that I wrote featuring a demi!reader on the acespec!

See y'all soon!

Words: 2.2k

Warnings: Fem!Reader (she/her pronouns), Drunkenness, I think that's it

OooO

Jamie had to be the lamest footballer in the world. It was a Friday night and instead of going out and finding a club to get drunk at, he was sitting on his couch reading a bloody book. Fucking Roy Kent had gotten to him, that bastard. He wasn’t expecting anyone to come by so when there was a knock on the door, Jamie was surprised. 

There on his doorstep was (Y/N). Pacing, wobbly, back and forth seemingly trying to take off her shoes without sitting down. 

“(Y/N)?” He opened the door, turning on the porch light. 

(Y/N) was someone Jamie had been friends with for a long time. Longer than anyone else, maybe. She’d grown up with im in Manchester, and gone to college in London when he got called up. When he was busy being a prick and cutting people out of his life, she stayed, refusing to be cut. And here she was, drunk on his doorstep. 

She spun in spot, her eyes lighting up when she saw him. “Jamie!”

She fell forward onto him in a sloppy hug. Jamie caught her in his arms, realizing with a chuckle that she was beyond wasted. He hoisted her up so she was tucked into his side so he could properly assist her while closing the door and turning off the lights. 

“Jamieee,” She sang, sweetly, pulling Jamie with all her might to get them to topple over.

“At least one of us had a good night,” Jamie muttered. 

“It was ‘meh’,” (Y/N) admitted, shrugging. “Felt all wonky all night.”

Jamie pulled her into his bathroom, sitting her down on the toilet seat. She slumped back, as it finally feeling her exhaustion. He filled up his water cup and handed it to her, having to help her put her hand on and grip the cup.

“Drink,” he instructed. 

“It’s like, I’m over here, looking and waiting,” she continued, pausing for a second to glug down a large sip of water. “And everyone else is over there. Falling in love, dating, kissing, and I’m just,” she made a raspberry with her mouth.

Jamie found a cloth and the bottle of makeup remover she’d left at his house one time, dabbing some of the serum on the cloth. He walked back over to her, kneeling so he could be at eye height with her. 

“Mmhmm,” he hummed, starting to dab at her face like she’d taught him. 

“Why can’t I feel that, Jamie?” She whined, leaning into his touch. “Why can't I just find a dude and just kiss him? What’s wrong with me?”

Jamie frowned, pausing his dabbing for a moment. “What do you mean, darling?”

“I just mean,” now she was frowning too. “I try to go on dates, hook up with random guys, and I just feel… nothing.” Jamie, pursed his lips, moving the cloth gently over her face. Her eyes fluttered closed as he swished over her eyelids delicately. “But I’m so tired of waiting… I don’t want to settle anymore.”

“You shouldn’t have to settle,” Jamie agreed softly. 

“But I also don’t want to be alone forever,” she opened her eyes and Jamie stopped washing her face. 

“You won’t be alone forever,” he droned. This was a conversation they’d had before. She was afraid she’d never find the one, and Jamie reassured her that she would. Of course, she would. She was beautiful, and funny, and headstrong in all the important ways.

“I’ve only ever liked one person, in my whole entire life,” she hiccuped. “And he…” 

“He what, love?” Jamie went to stand but she grabbed onto his pants, stopping him from moving away. He looked down and she looked very small. He’d never seen her look so small before. 

“He’s been my best friend since we were kids,” she muttered, looking up at him. “When I look at him, I feel this flutter in my chest. And no matter how hard I try to feel that with other people, I just can’t.” She looked between his eyes. “I can’t.” 

Jamie could feel his heart pounding in his chest, his blood rushing in his ears. Was she saying what he thought she was saying? She couldn’t be. Either way, she needed to go to bed. 

“You… uh… you can stay here tonight, yeah?” He took the cup from her hand and filled it back up. “I’ll go put out some sleep clothes in the guest bed.” 

She looked disappointed when he didn’t acknowledge her rambling, but she nodded, taking a pitiful sip from her cup of water. He watched her a moment before pounding on the sink and walking out to grab a shirt for her. 

As he set up the bed for her, his mind was racing through what she had said. The best friend from childhood that she’d liked forever. It couldn’t be him… could it? Not after everything he’d put her through. 

When he walked back to the bathroom, she’d fallen asleep on the toilet. Chest rising and falling steadily, her eyelashes resting against her cheeks. His chest fluttered as he looked at her, a gentle smile coming over his lips. He slid one arm under her legs and another around her back, resting her head on his shoulder. She curled into him immediately, nestling her nose into his neck. 

He brought her to the room, he’d set up maneuvering her carefully so he could take her clothes off. She’d changed in front of him before, felt comfortable around him, but he still was careful of his hands and quickly putting on more comfortable clothes.

She mumbled incoherently as he laid her down and pulled the covers over her. His hand rested on her cheek for a moment, her face slightly flushed from her night out. He was tempted to get in the bed with her, keep her safe and warm in his arms but he swatted that thought away quickly. Instead he leaned down and pressed a kiss to her temple.

The next morning when he woke up, he went to check on her, but she wasn’t in the room. Then he heard humming and the smell of bacon filling the air. He padded down the steps and saw her in the kitchen, cooking and sipping on his coffee like she owned the place. He shoved his tongue in his cheek to stop himself from laughing as he watched her. 

She spun around, dancing to the song in her head, yelping and freezing when she saw him. 

“Oh!” She sighed, throwing her hand over her heart when she realized it was him. “Jamie! You scared me.” 

“Scare you? This is my house, you know,” Jamie laughed, leaning across the island. 

She rolled her eyes, sliding a cup of coffee across to him. “Two creams, one sugar, yeah?”

Jamie looked down at the coffee, knowing Roy would kill him if he took a sip. ‘Your body is a temple’ and ‘caffeine is a drug’ and whatever, but she was looking at him so sweetly there was no way he could say no to it. So, he reached down and took a sip. 

“That’s it, yah,” it tasted perfect. No one else made his coffee like she did. “Do you know how you ended up here?”

She slowed her cooking for a second. He couldn’t see her face, she was turned facing the wall, but he saw her back tense just the slightest bit. 

“Uh… I don’t remember, really,” (Y/N) answered. “Just woke up here… figured it was just where I thought I’d be safest.” 

Jamie felt his cheeks heat up, trying to hide it by taking a sip of his coffee. “You, eh, were out with the girls?” 

She turned around, sliding the bacon onto the two plates she’d set out. She was deep in thought, he could tell by the way she picked the skin off her lip, reaching up to pull a piece of hair out of her face. 

“Yeah…” she whispered. “It was Larsen’s birthday. Wanted to go have a hot girl night. Find some guys to go home with.”

Ah. Now he got it. She’s gone out with her friends and they’d all gone home with guys and she was left alone. She was upset because she thought she was unwanted. He grimaced at her. 

“Did Larsen ditch you again? I told you to stop hanging out with her,” Jamie comforted, reaching to grab a piece of bacon. (Y/N) didn’t answer, she just stared down at the greasy meat on her plate. “Oh, c’mon, (Y/N), you can’t really believe that because of one bad night that no one wants you.” 

She furrowed her brow, shaking her head. “No that’s….” She looked up at him, looking back and forth between his eyes. “Do you really think that I couldn’t find one person to go home with?”

Now Jamie was confused. He pursed his lips, not sure how to answer. 

“He was great. Attractive enough, I suppose, saying all the right things,” she mumbled, suddenly unable to meet his eyes. “We chatted for a while. But I just felt… nothing.” Her fist open and closed as she fought the nervous energy. “He was kissing me, holding me, doing all the things that should have made me feel… something. But it was like… I felt nothing! It was like there was something blocking my brain from just latching onto something random.”

“He was… kissing you?” Jamie cringed as he said it. He wasn’t sure exactly why he’d said it and she looked at him like she was crazy. 

“Yes, he was,” she scoffed, running a hand through her hair. “He wanted to do a lot more but I couldn’t feel it. I didn’t feel anything.” She rested her elbows on the counter, her head in her hands. “God, what is wrong with me? Every other person we went out with went home with whatever stranger they’d met that night. But me? I feel so… stunted.” 

Jamie was surprised by her sudden admission. It wasn’t something he’d felt before, but he wanted her to feel the things he felt for her. The care and softness that he felt for her. 

“I know I want it,’ she continued. “I feel it sometimes… for… one person. He knows me and I know him. And I try to get myself to get over it, to feel it for someone else. Anyone else, but no matter how hard I try. I just… can’t feel it.” She shook her head, pushing herself off the island. “Sorry, I don’t know where that came from.” 

Jamie stayed still for a moment, figuring out his thoughts. 

“S’okay,” he finally responded. “I’m sorry you feel like that, you deserve to feel loved and wanted.”

Her eyes snapped back up to his, her cheeks turning red, spreading up to her ears. Jamie moved around to the other side of the island so he was right next to her, leaning against her side. She kept staring straight forward, her eyes turning shiny with unshed tears. 

“You said… there was one person,” he implored, pursing his lips into a duck shape. “One person who you felt something for.” 

She nodded, not speaking, brushing her eyes furiously. 

“Who… who is that person,” he asked. 

She let out a shaky laugh, cocking her head before looking up at him. 

“I think you know,” she replied quietly, sucking her bottom lip into her mouth. He looked at her, letting his hand slide down to intertwine with hers. Her breathing hitched and her chest started to heave. “Jamie, wait, please.” She stared at their entwined hands, scared that it was going to go away. “I can’t… I’m not like other girls. I can’t give you what you want, not right away, maybe not for a long time.” 

Jamie shook his head, moving his free hand up to touch her face. “I don’t want that, all I want is to make you feel loved. All I want is for you to feel how you deserve to feel. And I’m willing to wait however long it takes, and to do whatever it takes to make sure that you feel that love.”

“Oh, Jamie,” she gasped out, reaching up to touch his face too. They stood in the kitchen, the soft morning light dappling in through the windows, holding each other's faces. He looked between her lips and her eyes. “Jamie?”

“Yeah?”

“You can kiss me.”

His eyes were big and wanting as he looked at her. “Are you sure? Like really sure, like you aren’t just saying it to make me happy?” 

“No, Jamie, I want it.”

The words scarcely left her mouth when he cut her off, pressing his lips to hers. And there it was. She felt it. She felt that electricity that her friends had talked about. It rocked through her, stealing her breath away as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders, his coming to creep up her back, lifting her up slightly. 

“Can you feel that, love?” he hummed, in between kisses. “Can you feel how much I love you?” 

“I can feel it,” she responded, pulling back to look up at him. “I can feel you.”

Hirugami Sachiro x gn!reader •°.࿐

(a/n: sorri for being inactive this week! i've been getting tutored for the past week + going to the doctor so i haven't been writing. i wanted to make the story a lil longer but sachiro is sadly a pretty minor character:c)

Hirugami the immovable, a nickname he got for being a great middle blocker in highschool. A lot of the people he came across expected that he would continue to play once he graduates, yet that wasn't the case this time. Honestly, he doesn't really regret his decision. It was probably for the best, volleyball burnt him out; even Hoshiumi told him it was for the better. But he really isn’t bothered by his current job, in fact—he loves it. Being around furry little pets and helping them to be at their utmost condition felt like a dream for him, he was content with this. And that was all that matters.

Of course, animals were also the reason he had met you. These cute creatures really brought some luck into his life..The moment he met you was quite memorable for him, hilarious actually. He was working the night shift, chatting with the receptionist to kill time since the clinic was basically empty by this time of night. That was until you barged in, almost crying as you held your furball of a cat in your arms. You were clearly shaken and panicking and Hirugami immediately took the cat in for inspection while you quickly followed him. You didn’t even care how much the urgent care was—all that matters to you right now is that your cat is okay!

You and Hirugami didn’t really speak as you tensely watch him care for your cat, which eventually comes to an end. He takes off his mask, giving the cat little pats as he spoke to you. “He’s alright, just a little constipated. I advise you to add some high-fiber food into his diet and give him plenty of water, I’ll prescribe you some laxatives as well.” She could feel a huge weight being taken off her shoulders when she heard his words, approaching her cat and stroking its fur. “ Oh you worried me for basically nothing..”

He reminds you of it everyday, knowing how embarrassed you are about it. However, to him it was an important moment in his life. Because if your cat didn’t get sick like that, he might’ve never met you. Your cat was a little wingman, that's for sure, oh how grateful he was..

Small update on what's been going on in my life atm under keep reading!! (Also have this doodle of the autismos in their spring fits to make up for my inactivity lol)

I have a Secret Project™ going on irl that involves Victor, so it's been keeping me from continuing the comic that I started about a month ago at this point SDKJFJLSKDF I'm just really fixated on the Secret Project™ and I need to finish it before anything else (cause that's how my brain works unfortunately) so yeah no properly rendered art until then! I WILL ALSO POST ABOUT THE SECRET PROJECT™ WHEN I'M DONE WITH IT, I PROMISE!! I'm pouring my life and soul into this shit, started it months ago, dropped it cause of dumb uni business, and only got the motivation to actually finish it this past week

I've been asked by a couple people about my commission details already and I'm just gonna be fully transparent about how I've been procrastinating on getting my shit together when it comes to that;; I've never done comms before and I don't even have my bank account set up yet so I've really gotta get started before the month ends (hell, it was supposed to be my goal last month but yyyeah it's hard to get the will to do big stuff like that sometimes >m<;;;) I WILL start taking comms eventually!! Though I kind of already have a waitlist I guess lol I'm nervous, haven't even planned out my prices yet

I've been writing several short spaghoffee fics in the past couple weeks as well, and I even have a masterlist doc of my written stuff; I might post the masterlist when I'm done with this one mainline story idea I had? Hrmmm we'll see

I'm really happy to be making more sdv mutuals and all but aahhh I'm really worried that I'm boring to talk to cause I get really nervous to start conversations myself wahaha... no wonder I end up talking to other people through someone else 👁️👁️ But yeah I'm sorry for being bad at interacting!! guhh

[letorip]

im getting worried, how are you doing shnookums?

i’ll answer this one because shnookums made me laugh but believe me i’ve seen everyone else’s messages too, and i want to say sorry if i worried you. apparently if you drop off the face of the earth for a week people assume you died, and i’m really sorry, i didn’t know it would be so concerning but i get it now and i’ll give warning for the future

i’m okay, i just got sick right after i got home from my holiday and i had to also go back to classes and things, so i didn’t have time to open tumblr and i've been pretty much inactive on the app. i’m eating better, sleeping better, and feeling better, so i think i’m completely back (?) chuffed to be returning, i love it here, i just couldn’t do it this past week

as for casual [iii] and kiss with a fist [iii] i assure you i’m still working on them, i started to feel like shite once i got home so i had to cease operations and going to the gym was a massive mistake, but we’re still here, we’re still breathing, we’re okay

Hollowed Minds Progress Update 5/08/23

Hi! I know I failed at making a progress update last month, so first of all, apologies for that! Things have just been busy tbh and life has been too stressful that at some points I just couldn't write. It's why I've been a bit inactive here as well, and why I've been barely answering the asks I've been receiving.

I cannot report yet how many words I've written for the update so far because I haven't really taken a look at it myself, but I will do so at the end of the month if there's still no confirmed schedule by then. My eye health has just been very consistent at making my life harder as well until recently, and here's hoping I'll at least be able to function properly for a whole month🤞

Some things that will be in the next update:

For Chapter 2's Part 2:

Everything still goes as planned, except now both routes are expected to be fast-paced and action-oriented, though one is still more intense than the other.

This will be a massive one, not because of the word count but because of the variations that will play out. There won't be much issues in arranging the transitions to Chapter 3, so there's at least that, but your choices will matter a lot. So you might have to be careful with them.

One of the routes gets Alonzo actively involved, but please be assured that this doesn't mean you have to romance them. I actually encourage you all to check out both routes once they come because you'll gain more discoveries that way. 👀

Alonzo's route will be so memeworthy, I have to admit. Please try it.

There's an info dump in Chapter 2's Part 1 that I'm not really a fan of, so I'll be moving some of those to this part instead if needed.

For the overall IF:

Alex will now have a set skin tone if a lighter one is chosen for the Ripper. I will discuss this in detail soon, but I just wanted to emphasize that Alex and Ripper's mother are canonically PoC.

You will have options for your Ripper to wear contacts or glasses (or neither ofc).

You'll be able to bring a weapon with you in Chapter 2 depending on your choices so far.

You might remember a section of Chapter 1 where you can choose what your Ripper had been doing for the duration of the five months. I might reduce it to a few, just so I could have them properly recognized in the story.

There will be a couple of changes in the character descriptions in the game's stats page, with plans to make them shorter, too, for easier readability.

I will make sure you'll have saves at the end of this. So please don't be surprised if there'll be more page breaks in the future, as well as more choices (that are still as meaningful.)

In connection to above, I also plan to make the in-game descriptions snappier and easier to read while still maintaining the quality they should have. Your feedback will be very important for this, and this also applies to the beta testers (sorry I've been so silent. I swear I'll get back to you all soon lmao)

Not really too related here, but I also plan to be more consistent with my updates in the future. It's just that my irl schedule is still a huge mess, and it's very hard to be consistent when that happens.

Just a last piece of my mind. Some anons have been very aggressive with harassment the past few months, and I really have no interest for more drama right now. So if you have issues, if you think you can back your own words, send them through a DM or at least turn off anon so we could have a proper conversation.

It's honestly tiring. Being an Asian in this community can already be so tiring, so I am begging people to be mature and responsible with their words. After all, I've repeatedly said that you can always come to me with your concerns or whatever you have against me. As long as we can actually talk about it.

Anyway, that's all, and I hope the week will be good for everyone :) I have a few more things to post on Patreon tomorrow, so if you're a current patron, do look forward to that!

i need to bitch about my HOA or im going to freakig lose it

this isn't even what prompted this post, but last week we were informed each unit is being charged $10k for roof repairs, due in full July 1st... I now understand special assessment fees are necessary sometimes, but they are offering NO payment plan options which feels insane. The response given by the HOA on that was "umm sorry u can call the city to see if they have any financial aid options" -_-

Also back in december they admitted to losing 300k in reserve funds cause a board member let their account go inactive lol

im over the shock of that by now ig, but whats REALLY pissing me off requires some background sorry this is long

i posted about this some in the past, but since I moved here I've had repeated issues with a neighbor parking in my spot. I would say it's a bit more egregious than normal, cause i need a wheelchair (stored in garage) to get around outside of my home, so i'm literally trapped if his car is there. Several times I've not been able to leave for errands when I need, or I return home and i can't get my wheelchair back in

here's an old diagram i made to visualize it better:

it took a bit to find out who the owner of the car was, but this guy has been FULLY informed of how this impacts me, multiple times by written note and in person. Doesn't give a shit, he just stops for a little bit then starts doing it again. HOA won't do anything because they take too long to respond and the car is gone by then. This has been happening on-and-off for over 3 years

A few months ago I just started putting a traffic cone in my spot, and that surprisingly stopped him. i can finally stop worrying about it n_n

so anyway last night i got a violation notice for 'improperly stored belongings'. they sent me a little picture of the cone in my driveway. i went fucking ballistic lol its so hard to get me that mad. i hope they eat shit. ok i have to write a civil email to them now contesting the violation

----------------

Some additional bizarre fucking details about the parking situation i can't make sense of:

The car that parks there regularly changes, maybe every few months? This leads me to be like... oh i'm not 100% its him this time, maybe it's not fair to tow them? (it is him every time)

A police officer came once, they didn't help ofc lol but they ran the plates and told me the car was registered to a senior woman? (neighbor is like a 30 something dude)

Since I put the cone in, my gf has observed this guy parking in other neighbor's spots and also BACKING OUT OF A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NEIGHBOR'S GARAGE (how???)

Not related to parking, but the neighbor frequently has people come to his door at weird hours (3-4 am) and knock HARD for like 10 minutes straight. i gotta assume hes dealing drugs or something. i don't care but the knocking is annoying if im in the front room lol

WIP WHENEVER / SIX SENTENCE SATURDAY

Sorry I've been a little inactive.

I know I don't need to excuse it, but I want to talk about at least some of it: my birthday and WrestleMania are both this week, but I've still been healing from my broken toe. Then I got food poisoning this past weekend which makes it especially hard to write smut for some reason, and now I've contracted Stardew brain worms again.

At least I'm playing as Twiggy, so that's got to count for something...right? 😂

Dani don't start writing an AU Dani don't start writing an AU Dani don't start writing an AU

I've still been writing when I can, but it's all been in very disorganized fragments. So long story short I am all over the place...

Six sentences though? Six sentences I can do.

Tagged by @fly-amanitaa @cloudofbutterflies92 & @ghostoffuturespast (who is somehow also writing a shower scene right now? 🧼twinsies🧽)

Excerpt from Test Drive, Chapter 5 below the cut:

The sweater was a little harder to get off than Joss anticipated, and the clasp at the bottom snagged multiple times. She folded it as best she could and sat it on top of the otherwise haphazard pile of clothes. Part of her felt silly, nervous energy she thought had long died, as she looked over the scars on her body. The spritz of the shower started on the other side of the room. Steam rose through the beaded curtain, and the soft sound of Twiggy's humming with it.

The mark that stretched across her lower stomach was prominent, but Joss lingered more on the lines that littered her arms.

You're hardly active on Tumblr anymore. and I know it's also because you got a job and a life and such, and there's NOTHING wrong with that. Honestly. If you want to take time off from tumblr and art to focus on your real life stuff, that's Your decision, not ours. we're not stopping you, nor are we begging you to come back immediately. But, we (Mainly, I) want to know what's going on, and how you're doing. We all hope you're doing okay, and hope that nothing is wrong at the moment.

Funny you should say that-

I have the flu, my dudes.

Granted, I didn't have the flu for the entirety of June, but it has been flu season over here in my country for the past few months, and it has infected my entire family. All are good and healthy now at least... except for me, who caught it literally right at the tail-end of the season. T_T

There are a few more reasons for my inactivity; June is the month when I usually go on vacation for a bit, and that's what I've been up to for the most part. But I've also been preoccupied with a lot of adulting stuff, most of which is personal. On top of that, my mother's best friend passed away just last week. So a lot of things have suddenly piled up onto my plate recently (nowhere near as bad as university mind you, but enough to require my full attention for the time being.)

I'm sorry if I worried anyone; but if you know me, you know this is normal. Inactivity doesn't mean I'm dead, it just means I'm busy <3

I guess I could've made an announcement or note at the start saying I'll be inactive for most of June, but if I may be honest with you, I don't think it should be necessary for me to announce every whim of my activity. Live and let live, guys 🌸

I'll be a bit more active in the coming days when I feel less like a zombie lol. The new chapter for The Veil is coming out soon at least, July 9 at the latest, so that's something to look forward to!

Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go cough up a whole slimeball...

[ishomieokay]

Hey guys, I'm really sorry I've been so inactive here lately. I had a pretty tough time at work these past few weeks but thankfully that's over. Also my ADHD is really messing with my head and trying to drag me back into Inusessh hell, for some reason. Ugh.

Rest assured that I've not abandoned my Homelander stories and I will be updating as soon as I can 💔

[tittyinfinity]

Hey y'all. I'm sorry for randomly dipping out and becoming inactive. I have to take some time offline for my health.

Being unable to work, I have way more time to spend online than most people. I was going into intense doom & guilt spirals because of being locked in to a constant stream of bad news and negativity all day long. I felt like any moment I looked away could mean a life wasn't saved. Because of this, I was online for the majority of the day. My chronic pain was getting much worse because of it.

I felt guilty for experiencing any kind of joy because I would think about the people who couldn't experience it. So every good thing that happened to me only made me feel guilt and nothing else. Every positive thought I had was also immediately met with a stab-in-the-gut feeling of guilt. On top of everything, social media is extremely anxiety-inducing with the way people interact with each other. It's RSD hell. My depression was rapidly intensifying. I started missing out on things & isolating myself. I didn't even show up for the 2nd level improv class that I signed up for. It was getting bad.

I realized that if I let it get any worse, I wouldn't have been able to take care of the many, many important things that needed to get done this month. I had only been taking care of my son and not myself, and I couldn't risk slipping into a mental health episode so bad that I would stop being the parent my son needed, too.

I tried to regulate my time online, but it didn't work. I had no choice but to cut myself off from all social media in order to find healthier ways to cope & establish a new routine.

I'm happy to say that things have gotten much better since then. I've gotten SO much done these past few weeks. My relationships with the people around me have also gotten better! I even got a discounted membership for the Y and started exercising once a week!

I hope to return to my blog soon, but unfortunately I still need a bit more time to recover & re-teach myself ways to cope offline.

I was keeping up with a lot of people before I left, and I am so sorry for letting everyone down. But I can't help anyone else if I can't even take care of myself.

I know I don't really owe anyone an explanation, but I'm hoping my explanation might help someone who's feeling the same way. If you can relate to any of that, you probably need a break, too.

I love you all ❤️

WIP Wednesday Whenever: Pain and Suffering Edition

I was tagged by: @shivsghost @ouroboros-hideout and @gloryride for WIP Wednesday, which I am doing on Friday. You'll understand if you keep reading.

I have been fairly inactive this week...

I have aged approximately six weeks in three days. I've been working long days 8am-4:30pm in nonstop meetings, workshops and other activities at work. As such, coming home leaves me with little energy to do a lot. I take a few photos, maybe write a little bit of stuff, but otherwise I haven't been terribly active, so far as creative stuff is concerned.

Virtual Photography

I've got a President's Lady (Vega x Rosalind Myers) set coming out tonight. Otherwise I've got nothing in the VP space.

CyberNoir is on hold, alongside my fics, until after I've recovered from the psychological toll the past three days have put on me.

Writing

I've put a pause on writing my main fics this week because I've been so busy at work.

I finally published Chapter 1 of my original Science Fiction piece 'Freerunners' (via Tumblr for now, until I find a suitable hosting site). Check it out!

I've also published a short story about Vincent Gonzalez (my Male V) and his (very very short-lived) relationship with Panam, called 'Repulse'. Check it out here.

I'm going to tag @wanderingaldecaldo, @streetkid-named-desire and @olath124. Sorry if you've already been tagged, and of course, participation is completely voluntary.

Thanks everyone.

[sulotteweek]

Will you do another Sulotte week??

Also pls even if not leave this wonderfull blog as an archive and a part of Little Witch Academia Fandom history ✨️

Hi there!

So, I've definitely considered bringing back Sulotte Week numerous times in the past, but due to IRL stuff getting in the way time and time again, it became increasingly difficult to plan and manage another Sulotte Week—and I'm really sorry to everyone, whether participants in the past or those who found this blog fairly recently, that the inactivity of this blog has lasted for so long :((

Not too long ago, however, I've considered handing over Sulotte Week to anyone willing to be the new mod/s of this blog and revive Sulotte Week after years of inactivity. Once I make the official announcement that we're looking for a new mod, we can hope to see the return of Sulotte Week! And even if this blog remains devoid of a mod afterwards, it will absolutely still be around as an archive of fond fandom memories to look back on as it has been for me <3
