Little bit of an update...
I will be finishing my fic for the COD Holiday Challenge this weekend (just in time for Christmas and SSS)
Then, I'll be taking a little bit of a break from writing to read a series that I have been chomping at the bit to get into since it started.
And following that up by indulging in some Captain MacTavish works that I have been drooling over for months.
I will restart my writing after the new year (got a few requests for 4Runner Wingman already, I'm so excited 😊) and a few fluffy fics and headcanons to add into the mix.
So get ready for a ton of my long ass reviews to come bursting into your feeds (I can't help myself with some of y'alls work. I have to gush my soul to show my creative appreciation)
Until then...
Stay Thirsty, Soap Squad 🧼
#update#soo much reading to get into#its my Christmas present to myself#love you all#soap squad#soap squad 🧼

SIMPLE COMMISSIONS OPEN
Ok, i cant find any other job nor other way to make some money rn. I still have to pay 450 for credit card, that we used to buy groceries, 450 for electricity and at least mom's phone. Ideally, 700 that we owe for the apartment payments, but we can keep pretending it doesnt matter as much.
So, opening sketch and whump comms bc i cant bring myself to do more than that rn. I can barely bring myself to draw at all. I could even toss some notion of nsfw for an extra 10 bucks.
Prices, how-to's and more info >>here<<
Im relatively desperate, bc even tho i managed to pay the internet bill, it doesnt matter if electricity is cut down, specially as we're having heat waves of about 40C for the last week with no end in sight.
(I listed the amount i need in brazilian real, so it would be around 250usd. 400usd if we count the apartment things that im ignoring.)
#emergency commissions#commissions#help an artist#thankfully my aunt decided to buy us some groceries but it wont last much#paid a few bills with money my friends gave me as a christmas present but im still very embarassed by the need#even more so that i didnt manage to make it last more than a month#also my dad being home is becoming a problem#me and mom are trying to eat less so we can keep having food for longer#and he spends the whole day eating everything he sees#its been hard and i dont want to ask for help but i dont know what else to do#no one else will help bc we have a capable man at the house and why cant he go back to the job HE ACTUALLY HAS to keep us afloat#but he doesnt want to so now i have to take care of the bills myself#doesnt matter that i was fired bc the computer can do the same work i did#im very tired and trying to not spiral into depression yet again

You know I was thinking. Since I was a ten year old and boys would ask me out as a joke, cos I was the fat autistic ginger nerd who no one wanted to be friends with, and they found that hilarious, up to being rejected recently by hookups in the past few months cos I'm not far enough in my transition or I'm too fat or too ugly or too much for some people, I've dealt with rejection and people laughing at me instead of loving me my whole pre teen-adult life.
Just thinking of damage done by a cis and heteronormative world, and how queer love is so healing and joyful and wonderful, and how I feel, at nearly 33, ready to commit to someone and be in it for the long haul because they like me DESPITE all my flaws. They love me for me and I love them for them and they're wonderful to me. They've never said an unkind word to me (and i believe them wholly that they never will and never have to anyoen else either). They've never asked anything of me that is unreasonable or I can't do. They've not laughed or run a mile when I talk about access needs like my chair, their only request being that they can still hold my hand while I show them off to the world.
It's been six months of 'getting to know you' and having fun together indulging in shared fandoms and writing together. For me, it's been about four-three months of pining and wanting. A little less time wishing and not daring to hope because I'm definitely punching above my weight lmao.
Idk. Something something queer love is being seen at your worst and not being judged. Queer love is joy, and happiness. Queer love is healing past trauma and being in it *together*. Queer love is everything.
And you know what for the first time in a long long time I'm gonna do some linocut guidelines and get them printed and transfer them to blocks and make some heartfelt art. Because they inspire me. They're my Muse, my love.
Bonus ramble in the tags about former unrequited and toxic 'love'.
#hadley tag#this is a hadley appreciation blog now and im not sorry#i didnt think love could be or feel like this#makes me wodnwr if the 'love' ive had before was love at all#when my last ldr went wrong and she ghosted me after 7 years of friendship and more#it destroyed me but with hindsight she was trying to make me someone im not#i was dieting on and off. unhappy with myself. unhappy in rhe music i was bzcked into liking for her sake bc she hated the music i wanted to#listen to. i had long hair. presented high femme. the day i came out to her as genderqueer she blovked me on everything. on christmas eve#no less. she broke my heart but i look bsck and it was unrequited. i was a good excuse for her to come and live in the uk but thats it#Once she had 'cooler' friends and a boyfriend she cheated on me with she ditched me#and I'll never forgive her for that. ill never forgi e her for the years afterward thT i was damaged goods#because she ruined me mentally.#but im healed now. im healING now. im ready to let myself be happy again#im ready to feel the whole gamut of love and affection and all of that#im ready to love and be loved. see and be seen. feel wanted and make them feel wanted too.#its going to be a long wait til we can meet but once xmas is out of the way this year im going to save up with hadley and were going to make#time for each other and meet and then we see where we go from there :>#im so happy i 'met' them#the good omens fandom is magic i stg

watching a four hour video on the american girl doll samantha and all the media surrounding her. this is my roman empire
#its not i have not thought about this stuff in years#p sure the last time i thought about it was while watching this youtubers kirsten video#but it feels like it.#and to be fair the brand itself is quite integral to my childhood.#i remember. fiiinally being able to get a doll.#i got one of those just like me ones but i made her look very different from me because what i wanted was a friend#and i already talk to myself all the time.#but oh man we were like. just baaaarely in the tax bracket where it was a feasible thing for me to own.#i think i mightve been like. you can give me no presents for christmas if i get one for my birthday.#and idk if they held me to that.#but i wouldntve been mad.

#got sad because i thought about how lonely i am and then that triggered me to think about [redacted] and that put me in a BAD MOOD-#especially since its christmas eve it was not a good combination#and then i had to go be with my family and not act like i wanted to disappear and so as im battling that every little thing is making me-#upset (because i get very irritable easily especially when in a triggered/anxious state)#i accidentally spilled my drink all over the floor and that just set me off right there#calmed myself down by watching some videos and then i started feeling better enough to go out to the living room to attempt to get-#some cookies (key word ATTEMPT) and as im walking into the kitchen to put my plate away (i finished eating in my room its just tragic reall#i tripped on something glass and it fell over on the floor#....i was SO done after that i put my plate in the sink and slammed my door (not my brightest move im sorry)#and so then my mom talks to me later (when were on our way to church) and shes like 'im not surprised you slammed your door honestly'#and then i started feeling better after i realized she wasn't mad at me at all for this (because im still trying to deal with new triggers)#so anyways then i went to church came home watched white christmas and finished wrapping presents#and now im ready to celebrate christmas#no one cares kristen

simply having a miserable christmas time ✌️ 🎄
#this is lit. my favorite time of year and everyone around me is driving me fucking crazy lol#my mom wants me to do part of her christmas shopping for her but complains about what i get#simple requests to do xmasy things bc its xmas are treated like im asking for insanity#i havent spent much time with anyone in my family#there was a giant fight literally the day i got back#my school is being horrible with the esa process#if i want to do anything fun and special i have to do it alone#im going all out on xmas presents with no appreciation or acknowledgment of the efforts im going to or how busy i am#constant condescension#run around from my own grandparents#people never want to do the things i want to do and it's extremely frustrating#everyone is in a bad mood#i might as well be at my apartment by myself getting ignored by everyone bc apparently i text my mom too much#id give anything to go for a swim then go upstairs and order pizza and watch a movie#i love xmas so much but this season has felt so distant and impersonal and lonely#making the things i want to happen feels impossible and it has for years#no friends at college nobody wants to travel to the places i want to go#anytime i mention plans for the next year it gets ridiculed#im just exhausted
