#thinking of dinosaurs and troodontids were my favorite dinosaurs as a child#when younger i had a real full troodontid tooth fossil that meant a lot to me#for a time we lived within a few kilometers of hadrosaur sites and troodontid sites#while wider general area had many sites of recovery for the big celebrities like tyrannosaur and multiple dromaeosaurs#at that time troodontids were kinda infamous for i think the depiction in some childrens field guides and dino books#which depicted like a fantasy speculative humanoid troodontid based on 1980s model at Canadian Museum of Nature in ottawa#anyway would visit a small local paleo center a lot and woman in her 70s or 80s ran the counter of their center and rock shop#one day she asked me what my fave dino was and i said troodon so she pulled out the tooth and just gifted it to me#in little black case size of ring box with padding and transparent plastic viewing cover kinda like laminate for displaying a trading card#tooth got stolen from out my vehicle while giving some people a ride while at university before i got too poor for tuition#later during first year of pandemic owner of my storage unit died and new property owners threw away everything i ever owned#i was homeless anyway lost job due to early pandemic closures and had to allocate any money to insulin and other prescrip meds#but wouldve found a way to save my things if the new owners had contacted me#they threw out photoalbums y backpacking gear y books y musical instruments y clothes y artwork y camera y all family keepsakes#and all childhood treasures like souvenirs and gifts and school awards and writing portfolios and all the little memories#which i was always sentimental about as child#from earliest age my room looked like a natural history museum with plants and maps and library of field guides#and rocks and field trip keepsakes and all kinds of little animal figurines and mother had painted room in forest greens and browns#to feel like a forest and among the succulent plants and a globe sat the troodon tooth#parents passed when i was a child#never near any family and were always moving never got to settle into proper stable place then father passed after long sad illness#and mother put in so much effort but she passed few years later and i could not take care of myself or my remaining material possessions#and so im still quite hurt having nothing whatsoever remaining of my childhood or school friends or mother or life generally#and when trying to process grief my thoughts often come back to the troodontid tooth as a focal point a distillation of what was lost#even when young i knew it was advised not to become too connected to material physical possessions#but still there are some small little trinkets in our lives that seem to hold so much meaning and i tortured myself for losing that tooth#thinking about troodon reminds me of childhood

Julian Resso used to have a guitar.
He was playing it when his father broke it, a song he'd just started learning, but had the rhythm down. Storming in and snapping the neck of it, saying nothing to his objections, but telling him he would never amount to anything nevertheless. Didn't you want to be a scientist? Then what's with the damn guitar. You're not cut out for either.
He never fixed it, couldn't bear it.
Hasn't played since.
Years have passed since then. He's proved the old man wrong, in every line, every chemical formula. And.. in other ways, too.
He has a new guitar, shiny and fresh. The most thoughtful thing anyone's done; there have been a lot of those. New chance, new start. Never thought he'd pick up another one, but here he is, through no choice of his own. Nosy bastard. But the lines of the frets remind him- guitars can only differ so much- and he has old, unfinished business.
And, when he has a quiet moment to himself, after the confusion and the thank you, after wondering how in the hell the other had put the pieces together and found out, he picks her up and begins to play.
It's been years, but he's pretty sure this is the note he left off on; he wouldn't forget.
One finished song, before the start of many others.

What kind of pin machine are you using, and where did you get it? My brother likes doing the same thing with Pokemon cards but he got a garbo pin maker from Joann Fabrics. The machine arm snapped on him and it only successfully crimped the pin plastic to the metal back like one out of every five attempts...
I got my pin machine from Vevor website! It's Vevor brand and it's better to get it off the website, however they sold out of it at the moment because it's just tooooo good. They're like heavy duty industrial machinery. I got mine for a hundred bucks and it came with 1000 sets of button supplies. So like 3000 pieces to make buttons. It's a sexy deal.
It's a lot of elbow grease tho, so it's a strain on my tendinitis-y arms. I had to put my whole weight on top of the lever to get the images and metal to crimp completely over the plastic backing. (I thought my machine was broke but their customer service said, "Put more force into it, go as hard as you can. You won't break it.") When my family was here the kids couldn't get the thing completely crimped, even their mom couldn't do it. They made like 100+ buttons when they were here because it's so fun. A nice family activity...and a workout.

been think a lot about a post-canon au where yuuji takes on sukuna’s title of king of curses. of course, he is an entirely benevolent figure, but that name carries a lot of weight. everyone expects so much from him, since he’s the strongest sorcerer left alive from the war, and he feels too guilty to object.
he spends years after years helping fix what sukuna broke. training new jujutsu recruits, even if he has no idea how to teach. leading a council of people who either take him too seriously because of his title or not seriously at all because of his age. it’s years of gruelling hard work and watching the few people he had left die, one after the other.
a generation or two down the line, he’s tired. he’s over a hundred years old but he’s still stuck in the body of a sixteen year old. anyone who knew ‘itadori yuuji’ is long gone and all that’s left is a reputation he never asked for, where he’s no longer human enough to be seen as person anymore. despite the begging of the few council members who still respected him, rather than fearing him, he’s had enough. he’s built the structure, a kinder foundation than the one that came before. it’s up to everyone else to build upon it.
so he travels. wanders. never stays in one place for very long, never speaks to anyone past minor pleasantries. there’s no point in building friendships with people you’ll easily outlive. there’s no point in anything, really. he just lives because he has to, even if the reason why escapes him.
eventually, he comes back to have a look around at what’s changed. it’s not really a visit, considering he has no intention of introducing himself to a whole new group of teachers and leaders. that is until he sees yaga again.
jujutsu high has a lot of new students and a lot of familiar faces. it’s like everyone he’d ever known had been reincarnated within a couple of years of each other and it stings, a lot more than he thought it would after the years that should have dulled the pain.
isolation let resentment grow and fester. he’s had decades to look back at the friendships he formed and the bonds he created. some memories he’s fond of, even if they are bittersweet to reminisce over. but he can’t help being jealous and spiteful about it all. these people will get to live happily together and die happily together, a luxury yuuji has never been allowed to experience.
he hates them. it’s a selfish, self-indulgent feeling. it only makes him feel worse, but he can’t help it. he loves them too, in the end. that doesn’t make things better either.
yuuji sticks around. he takes down special grade curses and leaves before anyone can catch a trace of his cursed energy. tries to, anyways. sometimes he’s not fast enough, despite his supernatural speed, because he’s a little too sentimental to drag himself away in time. he lets the people he once knew, now reborn younger and treated kinder, catch a glimpse of him before he leaves once again to wallow in his own misery.
of course, they’ll recognise the king of curses. theres a portrait of him, still kept in the council’s meeting room with copies having been distributed for educational purposes, where he looks uncomfortable and stiff in front of the artist’s gaze. everything matches, from the pink hair to the set of scars on his face to the state of his cursed arms. but they all experience a strange sense of longing when they see him. like they are looking for something more in the brief glimpses of his face, something that is missing, even if he’s a picture perfect copy of that artwork.
the first time he sees junpei, they realise what was missing. it’s not even a necessarily uplifting expression. it’s barely even a smile. but there’s a hint of pleasure in his gaze. that’s what is missing. for whatever reason, they all remember that the king of curses should be happy, even if they’ve never met him before, even if their only knowledge of him before was that he was a quiet, solitary individual who was too kind for his own good but never seemed to expect gratitude in return.
they keep trying to see him smile. they do not realise it was them who took his smile away in the first place.
#thoughts#/#just thinking….#i hate gege he makes yuuji suffer needlessly!! >:(#……anyways in what way can i ruin yuuji’s entire existence today :D!!#i’m just into him being strangely soft for a very specific group of people#junpei nobara and choso definitely#maybe megumi and nanami if i feel like it#but he’s much more cold with everyone else because the memories there are even worse for him to recall#he had to watch them all die but at least he still felt like a human being in their presence you know?#he can’t really say that about anyone else#just the horrific process of being twisted into a weapon and losing all sense of self#but to those few people especially he felt like more than just a personified kill count or a model made of sukuna’s sins#i feel ill about him rn#edit: thought about it some more and it might hit even worse if yuuji still has the capacity to feel some happiness#it just never has anything to do with the jujutsu world#he talks to kids in the park? they get a smile out of him#he gets a job for a little while in a bakery to pass the time? he blushes a little and even laughs when people compliment his cakes#goes shopping for some manga to read? he gets in a long conversation with high school students#and reccomends them some series from his ‘youth’ that he think they might like#even if most of the time he’s tired and more empty than sad#there are brief moments of joy brought to him by strangers#but when it’s the people he’s intimately familiar with? there’s nothing but negativity there#despite travelling he comes back every year to check in with the council#it’s the newest member’s first time meeting him and she’s taken aback by how nice and normal he is#he made them all baked goods to eat while they go over any news#and she finds out that all the odd trinkets in the meeting room are gifts from yuuji’s travels across japan#but then someone talks about the new generation of sorcerers and how strong they are and mentions gojo satoru by name#and she’s witness to yuuji just entirely shutting down#like all the life inside of him has been sapped away in just an instant

I forgot getting into this bed at my parents' house is basically an Olympic sport for someone of my height.
My parents got an alarm so I'm now locked in and can't even open a window. It's hot in here and nice outside and I just want to open a window 😭
