Alright I’ve been promising a face reveal/Genderbent Ahab cosplay for a while now and I’m finally delivering
I went looking for those Great Lakes whales
I didn’t see any, but I know those motherfuckers are out there (that’s what I’m thinking in that last pic)

STOP: it's not the goddamn year of the dragon yet
Hold on posting your goddamn culturally Christian ass solar new year greetings that clumsily use east Asian lunar new year elements. We gotta do this song and dance every single time because y'all still refuse to do any research. Lunar new year is never on January 1; it is ALWAYS after solar new year. Lunar new year 2024 is on February 10th – save yourself some embarrassment please you're better than this

okay, I'm crowdsourcing advice for a minute, so bear with me and please lend some words if you have any:
I want to get out of the house more. Like, on a regular basis. Weekly, maybe. Preferably, I would like to be interacting with people—the same people—every time, for... like... accountability, but also because I am hoping to put myself out there as the 21st century's most neurotic platonic Casanova. Uh. Making a friend or more out of this would be desirable. But I think if I go out with the intention of making a friend, I will be disappointed.
So. I want to go do something, for that something's own sake. I don't want to go be fake once a week hoping to get a friend out of it.
However, the beautiful state of Iowa is a bit cultureless, and I am too introverted and easily overwhelmed for this world (e.g. going to bars is probably not gonna be my thing). So.... I guess.... any suggestions? opinions? thoughts on making friends in general, or finding good activities as an introverted adult, in general?
oh yeah, also: I am poor. that's a factor. so. signing up a class or similar is not a great option right now.
what the heck, I'll add a silly poll for fun:

reverse hot take: death note
this is an interesting ask to me because i feel like whenever i have brought death note up its been with fondness so i'm not 100% sure what to say here.
i think every death note adaptation that's been made has been bringing something to the table. thats my reverse hot take that might loop back around to just being a hot take again. i havent seen every death note adaptation. but the anime? classic. the live action drama? perhaps the Best death note. the musical? bangs. the netflix movie? we can't pretend casting willem dafoe as ryuk didn't rule. and it was a really fun take on L.

If you're trying a new way of doing things (focusing or to-do lists or self-care or what have you), remember: it's not something you can fail.
If the method doesn't work? That just means that method isn't the right one for you. It's not a failure on your part.
If it works for a while, or only works sometimes? Also not a failure on your part! Take that information and use it when you try a new method, or use that method when it applies.
If it works for you, but other people don't think you should need it? Who cares what they think? Nobody is going to have the same route to success. Trying to push yourself to do things to a "normal" standard is not going to help anything, and might even hurt.
Do things that work for you, and don't see it as a failure. It's a process of experimentation, and eventually, you'll find ways to reach your goals that work for you. Get creative, think out of the box, and try something new.
You can do it. I believe in you.

afterglow
prologue posted on ao3: read here!
Secret Life ends with the crumbling of an alliance that was never meant to last, the shine of its very few embers fade into nothing but bitterness, and that should’ve been it.
What Gem didn’t expect was the after part; of all the things that could follow, waking up in an unfamiliar world with an all too familiar face wasn’t what she had in mind.
