#i know it’s not just me

[aroace-talks]

I used to make myself have a fake crush on people because I thought that’s how having crushes worked. I had it all planned out

Step 1. Locate target (conventionally attractive guy my age)

Step 2. Just kinda stare at him occasionally

Step 3. Forget I even had a “crush” a few months in and feel awkward about it

ace/arospec culture is fantasizing about planning your funeral. not because you want to die, but because you want to imagine a big expensive fancy party celebrating a milestone in your life, and you know you don’t want a wedding, so that’s the next best thing

do you ever just idly wiggle your kneecaps around

Anyone else suddenly and inexplicably had the urge to rewatch all of SU or is it just me 🤔

Sometimes, I’m thinking of a fanfic plot and I open my Ao3 thinking, ‘I should continue read it’, and then I remember that I haven’t write it yet, SO I CAN’T READ IT

This pisses me off

I know why I feel this way, and it’s because this entire year has been a shitshow of a survival game - but goddamn does my shop and inventory look boring as hell. I haven’t DONE anything. I haven’t made many new things. I don’t have any ideas.

And yet my friend in art says I should just stick to what sells. Nothing has sold consistently this entire year lol. People like new things to keep their attention. To be clear this is no one’s fault, especially if you have purchased something, but every angle just feels like, silly, because I have no frame of reference anymore. Do I have new things I’m working on or set aside? Yes. But now I’m on month two of being set back even more. I have probably $3000 worth of inventory just waiting around to be sold and yet I’m still supposed to be making more. It’s hard to feel motivated to do that with little reward expected. It’s been easier this whole year to just DoorDash because at least then I’m being paid for the labor.

This year has just been truly de-motivating to be an artist. And to be involved with events where you might sell? You need money. Money money money. I fucking hate it.

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

cashier: ok that'll be $20

me (visibly sweating): ah, yes, of course! a perfectly reasonable price for a grilled cheese and a small smoothie! that was exactly the price i expected you to say when i ordered a single grilled cheese and a smoothie and my vision is NOT getting blurry as we speak! i am a perfectly normal temperature and my speech patterns are natural and even because this is the countenance of an individual who expected to pay 20 american dollars for a single grilled cheese and a smoothie!

cashier: where's all that blood coming from

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

watching bridgerton and obviously there were a lot of things wrong with the way socializing has worked in the past, but honestly the idea of a "calling hour" is so appealing. office hours for friendship. you can show up unannounced at my home between 1 and 3pm. you must leave by 3pm. I may give you a pastry. lets bring that back

can't believe we're all adults being forced into the club penguin level of censorship in 2024
