Help, how do you stop slipping through reality when you stop having any meaningful existence and just fall through the fabric of time in hopes to never hit the ground? Time just flies by but I stay in place, frozen

How do I start moving along with it?

I ignore messages as much as I can afford, my sleep schedule is a joke, at some days I don't even eat anything

And the scary thing is, I would probably continue to live like this if I had a means to do that indefinitely, because although it may sound depressive, I don't feel any apathy or hopelessness, just fear that I don't feel the passage of time and am running out of it

The narrator: “While most of the bakers have moved on…”

*pauses, takes a deep breath*

The narrator: “<insert bakers names here>…”

Me:

This is the on-the-edge-of-your-seat drama that bake off is all about!

Now that Bill vs Bill is over, I am left in that horrible void in between the end of one project and the start of the other. I mean, I have Raised Spirits and Confessing It to get to! But like. Effort.

There's also a sort of epilogue to Bill vs Bill I was thinking of writing but who knows if I'll get to it!

I'll pick one eventually! I'm just indecisive. Once more into the Writing Mines with me.

In the newest interview, alvaro said that big chances that professor wouldn't be in the spin off because it's berlin's project and focusing on his new cast or crew. He said this one (Berlin) is separated from LCDP. Does that mean that we wont get Palermo too? 😢 I mean, if the whole 8 eps are just about berlin having fun with strangers he pretends to be friends with, whats the point of watching? The only thing we can hope, maybe the plot would be good, but from the teaser, I too have a doubt about it.

I haven't seen that interview (if those are his exact words, "big chance" is a weird way to phrase it since shooting is done, he's either in it or he's not lol.) Anyway, I wouldn’t take too much away from his words. They are pretty much a rephrasing of what Pina has been saying. They might mean Sergio won't show up at all, or that Sergio will only show up through a cameo, not in as a central way as LCDP. And that makes sense to me either way. I would personally love a cameo but generally regarding Sergio, it makes sense that he wouldn't be present through all his brother's heists and gangs and day to day life (which was already established in canon).

So I wouldn't compare Sergio's situation with Martín. At least on a textual level. Once established that Andrés had met Martín, it would make zero sense that Martín wouldn't be there since we know from canon Martín has been on his side for ten years prior to the monastery flashbacks. And generally speaking, there is not a single character from LCDP that belongs more in Berlin the show than actual lcdp lmfao. Martín's entire construction in canon was in the framework of Berlin.

That's not to say the show won't be about Berlin having fun with strangers for 8 episodes lmfao. That will probably be it. But I'm still in the belief that Palermo will guest-star or cameo in the last episode, as a form of Berlermo's first meeting. And I think if Rodrigo agrees and Netflix grants Pina a second season, he might be a main character going forward. I don't think there is a lot to hope for from the spin-off but I still believe it will be better and more surprising than we imagine now.

So why did the men get bigger rosters then???? FIFA figured the men were important enough to allow this but female players aren't. Why do you keep defending that?

Oh ffs, how many more times do some of you need to explained how the decision for the men came to be? You could just Google this you know....

The men's rosters were expanded because of the threat of covid outbreaks and the uncertainty surrounding that. The reasoning behind the change wasn't that teams need 26 players during a normal world cup. The decision also had to be made months prior to the world cup (june to be exact) because teams had to prepare. During the world cup Covid hasn't been an issue at all, it was a precautionary measure which turned out not to be necessary after all.

The women shouldn't have this same issue, for one because we're a year further along and so far Australia/NZ seem to have a good grasp on Covid regulations. There is also the very simple fact that for the men the roster expansion doesn't have the same consequences as for the women because the majority of men's teams have plenty of players to fill those spots.

Its easier to write about my pains I think

Maybe so I can pretend

Pretend that it's some tragic character's pain

The pain in books I like to read about

Only because I like the hurt

The hurt the words cause

The burning, tightness in my chest

It hurts so good

I've never seen myself as a masochist

Its just easier to pretend that its not me hurting

Relationships Must Be Like Islands

Bill Williams Bridge, Mohave County AZ. iphone 14 Pro Max When you love someone, you do not love them all the time, in exactly the same way, from moment to moment. It is an impossibility. It is even a lie to pretend to. And yet this is exactly what most of us demand. We have so little faith in the ebb and flow of life, of love, of relationships. We leap at the flow of the tide and resist in…

Monday's Muse: Writing Prompt

People like that will feast on any uncertainty.

[akuma-homura]

my main thing really is if the person is

one: still alive

two: hasn't seemed to have changed (be it doubling down or going quiet, ie no clear sign of changing or learning and it being up in the air)

three: still benefiting from the money given from the IP

three point five: if they're using that money they get from their ip / franchise to support those harmful people or movements

she who won't be named and That wizard franchise fits all of these, scott seems to given the current precedent

(however, unlike that woman, he has conflictedly donated to like, lgbt+ charities and is not Vocally Hateful-- but it's just extremely hard to believe he isn't aware of at least some of the hateful retoric or how harmful the republican party is... and it's been a couple years since that fallout now too, with them being EVEN MORE Mask Off about it all, so...? I just can't fathom how anyone thinks its okay...)

what youtube does not understand is telling me "youtube does not allow adblockers" is not going to get me to turn off my adblocker. it's going to either a. get me to update my adblocker settings to block you more or, more likely, b. stop using youtube completely

like, you created the problem, youtube. you went from short ads at the beginning and end of videos to putting 3 minute ads in the middle of videos, playing the same ads fucking constantly, playing super loud obnoxious ads, and also shoving transphobic homophobic racist shit in my face with Shorts

yeah i blocked all that shit and you still made nearly 7 BILLION fucking dollars in ONE QUARTER this year

"boo hoo our revenues are down 2.6% investors are SCAWED" down to 6.6B from 6.8B motherfucker shut UP

fuck completely off you money hoarding ghouls
