[july-19th-club]

one of the most annoying things my brain does is that when i enjoy something - book, movie, band, whatever - and somebody i respect doesn't enjoy it for whatever reason, like there's nothing wrong with it, it just didn't work for that person and they didn't think it was that good...well my immediate knee-jerk mental response to that type of situation is to feel like i have to start revising my opinions on the thing i liked, because if it actually was good, then Respected Person Who Didn't Like It would have a different opinion. and if i was smarter or had better taste, i'd share Respected Person's opinion. both of which lead me to develop sour feelings about things i've enjoyed immensely right up until the moment someone i care about or think is cool/smart/whatever expresses disinterest or dislike of that thing. and it fucking sucks because the solution to this problem is just "own your opinions about innocuous things" but it's incredibly fucking difficult in practice because i worry my friends will stop respecting me if i enjoy things they thought were kinda not that good. or that everybody i respect knows i have shitty taste and is just too nice to tell me about it and elevate my interests to Only Things Cool And Respected People Enjoy. and what if that's just a reflection of my own reactions??? what if my visceral disinterest in taylor swift means i actually hate everyone who genuinely enjoys her music? what if i think they're all losers with no taste? why else would i assume that's what people think of me when i say actually, the shadowhunters tvshow meant a lot to me and i thought it was good? and it becomes a deep ethical spiral that i have to claw my way up out of in order to not go into a tism crisis over Was Animated Movie Good or Was It Just Alright? and ultimately it means i rarely completely trust my own opinions on things like art, music, entertainment. just because i like it doesn't mean i should. like what if it's mid? and even though i've been working on this for years, that baseline anxiety is there in everything i experience with one regular exception: if everybody agrees something is cringe, but still fun, then i can enjoy it without worry, because there's no danger that saying 'this is so fun' will lead to people secretly thinking i'm kinda lame. and that. is why riverdale is the perfect television show for me

just saw my cousin on tiktok

I know this may come off kind of whiny and is possibly more specific to living in the US being as it’s so individualistic, but what I wish partnered people especially (and to a lesser extent folks who live with roommates) understood about being single/living alone is just how much fucking time I spend by myself.

I’m not a person who can’t handle time alone! I don’t mind doing things by myself, even public things like going to the movies or going out to eat! I think I’m great company! But the thing about being single & not having a default person/people for a lot of these things is that all the novelty of doing things alone, or any benefit you might get from taking some alone time, is kind of erased.

It’s not a ‘fun solo movie night!’ if every time I sit down to watch TV, I’m by myself. It’s not ‘taking myself on a date!’ if the majority of the time when I eat any meal, or go do anything, I’m alone. I keep busy, y’all. I have the most active social calendar of almost anyone I know, because I love my friends, and also by necessity. My coworkers - most of whom I would never choose to spend time with - are already the people I see the most of in a week. If I didn’t make an effort to see friends as much as possible outside of work, they’d be the only people I saw regularly, and that would be fucking me up even more than it already is.

I like living alone, I like being able to do my own thing, I’m proud of myself that I don’t let not having a person to do something with keep me from doing something. And sometimes I really fucking wish I had company for some of this shit. Wish I didn’t always have to run errands by myself, because it would be more fun with a friend. Wish I had someone I could ask to come with me to check on my friend’s cat, because I don’t know if her roommate is going to be home and it might be awkward. Wish there was someone to chat with while I did chores, or have an actual movie night with so it felt like an actual occasion, or, you know, literally anything mundane that could be done with another person, because sure I see and talk to my friends a lot, but that’s usually for an activity or an event - we’re going out to eat! we’re going to watch a specific show! - and rarely just to do the daily mundane shit that I always have to do by myself.

i don't know if i'm getting out of the art block any time soon but i'll try to at least do heaven & hell and trick or treat for ronancetober, cause i've got ideas just floating inside my mind since september for both of them

[alteredphoenix]

I honestly forgot about In Every Song A Heartbeat for a good while, but a part of me stopped thinking about it and almost didn’t want to go ahead with writing it because *points at That Other Fandom that has a normal one every other day* and, really, I think my OTP deserves better than that.

But I also have the notebook with the listed chapters written down, too, and I think that’d be more important to work on than the four chapters I did of the Side Story (where the girls themselves don’t show up until Chapter 14, so that would’ve defeated the entire purpose of posting it by itself before the Main Story - after all, you’re here for the Main Event, not the OCs!).

Since I’m much more comfortable writing my OTP from a ‘get out of your comfort zone every time you encounter an unknown element’ angle, I’d like to pick it up again (despite the lack of a working GPU; Power Save Mode sucks). Idk when, though - my mind never sits still and I’m always adding more WIPs to the ToLumi WIP section in the USB Drive (which I should make a separate folder for so it’s not mixed in with the W*W shit; there has to be at least over 70 WIPs now).

answering these in one go

i got Sugar off a craigslist ad in 2016. she was listed for $9k but i got her for $8800, the seller knocked down the price literally just because he was nice and could tell i loved the car so much 🥹 my bank wouldn't let me pull out all the cash at once so i drove her home and paid him that Monday which is CRAZY but he trusted me to pay him and i did

when i first got her she didn't have power steering or power brakes (turned like a land yacht and stopped when she felt like it) so that was the first thing to address. fixed the horn and some other minor stuff that needed it. i also made the decision to replace the carburetor with EFI, which is kind of controversial in the classic car world lol but it's more fuel efficient

the EFI i had installed actually gave me the most problems over the years it was ALWAYS having issues and breaking down. but i recently had it reinstalled by someone who is NOT an idiot and I've had no problems for like 2 solid years I'm so fucking glad lol now she's more reliable than ever

she has a 350 small block V8 and auto transmission since she's my daily driver and allows for the smoothest ride possible as a commuter car. i don't race but she is fast lmao. I've never put pedal to metal but I've gotten her up to 80mph before without even flooring it so 😭 she can fucking Go lol. she kind of defaults to 30mph coasting so i have to have my foot on the brake to keep the speed limit in residentials

what else uhhh the cabin smells so good.... i love old car smell. I'm so lucky in her 53 years of being on the road she's apparently never had an owner that smoked inside the car i would have gone crazy if it smelled like cigarettes in there lmao

she has bench seats in the front and back which are like two little sofas. i used to nap back there on breaks when i was still working at a studio.

she has no airbags and you have to tighten the seatbelts yourself. there's an over the shoulder belt and separate waist belt. the passenger shoulder belt you gotta tug on after clicking it bc sometimes it comes loose on its own 😭 she is a death machine with no crumple zone so if i crash i will die 👍🏾 but I'm a very cautious driver and i don't even drive that much sooo IT'S FINE

she is very low tech besides the EFI and if there's ever an engine problem u can literally just look under the hood and mess with stuff until it's fixed. it's very spacious in there with a lot of room to poke around. cars in the 70s were made to last and because they are still so beloved to this day there's endless info online from enthusiasts about fixing stuff that pops up. some companies are still making new parts for classics so we don't have to dig through junkyards when we need replacements... unless u want to ofc, the hunt can be fun too LOL

i get people waving me down daily to ask me what year she is and tell me they used to have a Nova when they were younger or knew someone that did and how much they loved them and IDK IT'S SWEET!! ppl are always so happy to see her......... the antithesis of the cybertruck

thanks for reading here's some thirst traps

[outlanderalien]

I'm v glad I tuned out of the OFMD fandom during the hiatus. What do you mean ppl got death threats for liking a fun antagonist? What do you mean ppl justified that antagonists torture because it was carried out by their fave who can't do anything wrong and also because he "had it coming"?? What do you mean ppl sincerely thought the main characters romance issues would be resolved if they just killed the bitter abused ex???

How does it feel to have read a piece of media so poorly that the first scene of the new season openly mocks that last point with an absurd dream sequence showcasing how insane that take is?

S/O to a few of my favorite TS3CC Creators
