sorry lol I just agreed with that post so much and it got me thinking tbh. I think a lot of us have gotten into a habit of looking at a story so critically, trying to sniff out plot holes and 'bad writing' in a way that misses the fact that the point of a story is to tell a story. I feel like people forget about suspension of disbelief in their mission to analyze a work sometimes. I do think there is a place for in-depth meta analysis of a work, I think it's just as much a worthy fandom experience as any, and maybe that post wasn't even meant to criticize people doing that sort of thing at all, but I just. I think a lot these days about how much more enjoyment I get out of a thing when I decide to watch or read or play it with the intention of just letting it be what it is and not trying to fucking grade its quality or something. you don't have to rate and review everything you do. sometimes you can go 'oh they could have written this differently. but this isn't that version of the story' and then just carry on and not let that other version of how things could have gone haunt your experience. sometimes you have to go 'wow that was kind of dumb' and then just integrate the understanding that the thing you're watching/playing/reading is gonna be kind of dumb sometimes and keep going anyway. and it won't always work out this way, but sometimes you're gonna get a lot more entertainment and joy out of a thing by doing that than by keeping score in your head of the things it's doing 'wrong' or whatever, and I think enjoying a thing for what it is can be a much better use of your time than criticizing it for what it isn't, you know? we're not all film critics. we're not all book reviewers. we don't always need to give a measurement of the quality of everything we experience. you can just experience it. you know?

got bumble bff now which is like 10x more embarrassing to admit than saying you're on normal bumble, tinder or grindr. I'm sure my dislike of dating apps and dating stretches to dating apps for making friends but also I don't wanna go to all these fringe shows on my own

Hello! I apologize if this is a nosy question, but what is the silly feelings wheel app you were talking about in a previous post? My therapist and I have been working on identifying feelings but I still very much rely on a list of feeling words to have any idea what I’m feeling, so it could be a helpful resource. No worries if you don’t want to share, just thought I would ask :)
It's called How We Feel! I'm not sure if it's available on all devices yet, but it's on ios and the google play store for sure.
I've been using it for about a year. It's more of a chart than a wheel but people usually recognize the wheel better so that's what I call it. When you first start it has a 10-part tutorial about emotional acceptance and regulation, then it has suggestions for each category of emotion. You can access both at any time tho after those first 10 days.
It has a share option so you can have friends, which has been great for me cause it prompts me to check on friends and them to do the same for me. It allows you to just respond with a little emoji in like a "I'm here for you" little notification to your friend, or you can reach out to your friend on your own. Its really helped me cause I'm bad at reaching out when I need support so to me and I'm bad about taking on other's problems even when I can't handle it so being able to send a little emoji instead to make sure my friends know I'm there if they need me and them doing the same has been great

Ok, so I'm trying my luck in here : Does anyone know of any mods that replace Harvey? And I mean totally replace his character, not change his looks or gender. I've seen the Midoriya Izuku one, but I hate that character with a passion so big pass. There's also a Good Omens one, where they change him into Aziraphale, but by the looks of it is not compatible with the phone version and I'm lowkey afraid to even try and find out myself. I might end up installing the Diverse Stardew Valley one, but I was hoping for something that changes his personality too.
So any help would be really appreciated? Thanks in advance regardless.

I'm into tea and coffee and have a nice set-up for each and last Christmas my parents gifted me a box of coffees from different places but it's definitely intended to be a gift to people who... like coffee. And by that I mean "like" as in "drinks one or two cups of pour-over supermarket coffee a day". Which is fine! But I like coffee in a "owns a dedicated grinder and espresso machine to make a cappuccino every morning and affogatos in the summer" way (I'm sensitive to bitter tastes and don't like straight espresso....... Yes, I know that makes zero sense). I know it sounds pretentious because it is but I like the ritual.
Anyway.
They gifted me coffee, but it's all dark roasted and bitter, so bitter that it's too bitter for me in a cappuccino 🙃 and now I'm stuck with a lot of coffee that I'll probably all hate but still I have to be GRATEFUL BECAUSE IT WAS A GIFT, RIGHT? UGH

NOVEMBER WRITING GOALS & OCTOBER SUMMARY!
As expected, I was really busy this month, so I didn’t get as much writing done as I had hoped. But! It’s all good because I had a great month, spending time with family and my s/o and exploring the beautiful nature around our home. I’m really in a good place mentally and I’m just?? Living my best life?? ANYWAYS - I wrote 21 000 words in total this month. More than half of it (13k) was for my Star Wars OC story, that I’m literally obsessed with. One of my goals was to complete chapter 4, which I did! ( the only goal I actually completed ). For Nnoitra, I wrote 5k, which is a little shy of my monthly average so far this year. Oh well! I wrote a drabble for him this month though, so I’m really happy with that! I had set myself a total goal of 30 000, and I think I would’v hit that if I hadn’t been sick for the past few days, but it’s all good.
IN NOVEMBER - I don’t think I’ll be as buys as I was in October, but still setting myself more modest goals to make it more likely that I reach them. The writing goals include writing on all my blogs ( both my bleach blogs and one piece blogs, discord and all my personal projects. Here are the November goals!
30 000 words in total.
Send 50 asks.
Finish chapter 5 on my Star Wars OC story.
Finish the starter-call I posted for Perospero and Caesar.
Write 2 drabbles for Nnoitra.
Complete the storyboard for my novel, “the Tide”.
Have some activity on each of my blogs, preferably also something queued.
Modest goals that I’m excited to complete! Happy writing in November guys! Hope the month is kind to you! <5
