I have two weddings and a Florida trip this summer that I need clothes for. I have no clothes because I spend my adult money on things like price-jacked Twilight Saga graphic novels. Not my proudest or smartest moment, but I'll regret things when it's not 2 AM
actually addressing the root cause of my stress and anxieties? nah. drinking copious amounts of chamomile tea in an attempt to reduce the cortisol and stress? yes.
new blog
i got tired of this blog being sad and beige so i made a second blog, @carukiajelly
And when you go away
I still see you

the idea that we are all stardust and will go back to being stardust when we die is almost enough to help me get over my fear of death
i've been holding off on the locked tomb because i know it is going to ruin me. i need all the books to come out before i inevitably get mindfucked by the series
THE PALMETTO STATE FOXES
It’s so funny going from Neil’s asexual pov to jeans definitely NOT asexual pov
Neil: Kevin is tall and has a tattoo
Jean: pretty boy with a soft smile and beautiful green eyes
Neil: Renee is a women and has hair
Jean: a force of hope and beauty, an anomaly in a world that’s ugly and bleak. She is the sun.
Neil: Jeremy is the captain of the Trojans and he smiles a lot for some reason
Jean: his bleach blonde hair frames his tanned freckled skin, his broad shoulders and tiny waist give way to his thicc thighs and ass
But also the reverse
Neil: Andrews strong unwavering frame and honey colored eyes
Jean: the tiny goalkeeper
I think a big part of why aftg (the original triology) so often gets referred to as bad writing is because the language is a bit plain. It does have some absolute bangers, but compared to Jean's way with words, a lot of Neil's inner monologue is rather straightforward.
Which is probably largely due to Nora's writing evolving over a decade, but it also works so well inverse.
Given that Neil never was allowed to see the beauty in anything because it was considered dangerous, and was scrutinised by his mother from a very young age to make sure his sole focus was survival, his one track mind makes sense.
Jean, meanwhile, was punished for every little action and behaviour his abusers didn't like while also being told over and over that he himself had no value, but no one ever cared about him enough to warn him of the world. He was not allowed a lot, if any, positive experiences while in the Nest, and he was not allowed to actively want things, but unlke Neil he was never taught to fear pleasure because it itself was a risk, only because he might be punished for it.
Therefore, when they are both free out in the world, it makes sense that Jean is faster to see and express beauty, while Neil takes longer before he can see happiness as anything but bait for a trap.
It seems like a million years but it actually was just 15 years ago that Coraline showed up in theatres around the world! It was my first real gig as a feature story artist and I'm so thankful this was the project I began on. The talent at the studio and the specialness of this film have continued to touch nearly every aspect of my life as an artist to this day. Happy 15th Coraline! Get out in theatres and see the remastered 3-D version of it!
These three would put the other survivors to shame if they were in the Constant
Asoue/dst crossover :) Realized both pieces of media centered around bad luck and constant (Badum tss) bad things happening to the protags so why not combine them!
imagine PSU students overhearing someone say "my FBI agent is going to have a field day over this" while working in the computer lab and they just assume it's a joke about a questionable internet search history.... until they realize it was Neil Josten who said it and he does in fact have a personal FBI agent.
"who fears the monster that knows the taste of a whip?"
oh baby i saw right through you
i've been trying to sell aftg to my irl friends for years so that i can have someone to talk to abt it BUT NONE OF MY IRL FRIENDS READ so i've just been here this entire time letting it eat at my mind and obsessing over it
i love the idea that neil thinks he’s really selling the whole “normal average joe” thing when he literally can’t walk into a room without starting a problem
about to fail midterms because of aftg/tsc brainrot and i cant even be mad about it
