[resin-ants]

hello!

my name's Amber. she/her, 18yo

i'm a science fiction enjoyer, linguistics enthusiast, decent writer, half-decent musician, and bad artist. i mostly reblog stuff, sometimes i say stuff, sometimes i make stuff, and i'm bad at tagging things.

i like things that are slow and quiet.

i'm autistic, asexual, and transgender. i live on the east coast of the usa. i type almost exclusively in lowercase, with some exceptions.

media i like:

17776/20020

kane pixel's backrooms series/movie

project hail mary book/movie

dune books/movies

amazing digital circus

aurora webcomic

lackadaisy comic/show

whitepine

the boston red sox

some others i'm forgetting

currently working on a conlang, haven't titled it yet.

currently (re)reading: Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

currently watching: Severance season 2 (it's sooooo good, plz no spoils)

i have a youtube channel. (haven't posted in like seven months, but hopefully that'll change soon)

trying to post more art and writing here. trying to make more of it, really, and using this blog as a motivating factor.

currently doing artfight! (team mystery) i have a couple characters up so far but i will likely be slow with attacks because i'm very busy this month.

that's all for now.

[theinterpretingbookworm]

@future-muse thank you for tagging me 🫶🏼 (happy birthday you sweet, sweet girl 💕 i hope you achieve everything you wished for. you are so precious, thoughtful, and creative and there is still so much more, you will achieve 💗)

ps: i like the concept of this tag game hehe 🤭

answers:

probably 'Madicken' or 'Alla vi barn i Bullerbyn' (movie adaptations from the children's author, Astrid Lindgren)

a singer, a ballet dancer, a baker, a painter - unfortunately, i don't have the tenacity it takes to become a ballet dancer; being a singer isn't really either for me, but i can imagine perhaps starting a bakery, or opening an art shop maybe? eek🫣

truthfully, 18. but i try not to feel like this. ive been pressuring myself my whole life, and i need to let go. it's about perspective. *.+

no, but i dont mind ;)

I was obsessed with Charlie and Lola

When I was little I always wanted to be a singer or an actress ( I can't sing and I definitely can't act)

I used to be scared of 13 and now I'm scared of 18. 13 was a valid fear tho 😭

100% no and I prefer it that way.

TYYY FOR THE TAG!!! :D

1. sailor moon crystal, barbie life in the dream house, princess and the frog, and tons of 80s/90s sitcoms 🫠

2. i wanted to be a teacher, dancer (ballet), and track star, haha! teaching in this economy is horrible, i ended up hating my dance studio, and i’m super unathletic so i don’t do sports 😭😭 now i want to be an actress + pop star, so i guess dancing would be involved? i still love dancing, but just not the toxic environment!!

3. thirteen! everyone tells you being a teenager is hard and that high school is hell, but that it’ll simultaneously be the best part of your life? honestly, i’m having fun most of the time, so it’s not that scary :D

4. (i think) i’m popular, just not well known D: people mostly know me as the other half of my best friend. but i’m very friendly, so at the minimum i’m acquaintances with most people!

TYYY FOR THE TAGG

I was obsessed with the Lion King Franchise and I watched Lion Guard all the timee.

I wanted to be a paediatrician only because my parents put it in my head that I HAD to be a doctor. Now i’m choosing psychology😋😋

29. Idk if it sounds grim but i genuinely have no idea what to look forward to after 30.

I was extremely popular in primary and a bit in secondary school, then i changed schools and became a shitty loner😔.

Thanks for the tag!!

1. One of my first ever hyperfixations was a kinda obscure show called Upside Down Show. Trust me when I say it's one of the stupidest things you've ever seen and I fully recommend it to anyone who needs a good laugh lol! Was always weirdly obsessed with the Action Fingers characters (And still am!) lol lol

Also Stampy! Stampylongnose is a more permanent special interest of mine which has shaped my personality and outlook on life more than any other obsession I've ever gone through! My sense of humor come directly from the silliness of his videos and his puns, especially his Quest videos with iBallisticsquid or Squid Nugget!!!!!

He's also the one who helped me to keep my inner child alive into adulthood, because he was a great example of someone who chose to let part of himself never ever grow up! Of course Upside Down Show is also a great example of that, as the two hosts of the show, Shane and David, bring that energy to their projects to this day and are just silly goofy guys!!

2. As a kid I wanted to be a teacher (Well, I wanted to be a princess first, but my friends told me that that wasn't a real job... Which, fair enough I guess, so I went with teacher instead!) Now I am a preschool teacher! I'm going to college to get my Associate's degree in Early Childhood Education and I am loving it!!!

3. For some reason I was absolutely terrified of turning 18! I did not want to be an adult. I did not feel at all ready for the responsibilities adulthood would bring. And the internet made it sound so depressing, like you'd never be happy again once you had to start adulting... But I was fortunate enough that I was able to continue living with supportive parents and take things a little more slow with my adult responsibilities, and now I look forward to the day that I might be more independent! Having never had them forced upon me, I no longer dread them.

4. Not at all... I'm thinking it was for the best lol. I was bullied enough for being neurodivergent and somehow bullied for being asexual, aromantic and trans way before I realized I was any of those things, without the added pressure and visibility of being popular! I don't think my anxiety could have handled it!!

1. phineas and ferb, avatar the last airbender, the octonauts, in no particular order.

2. i definitely wanted to be nasa mission control. i wanted to do space stuff without actually having to go in the rockets. i don't really want that anymore though, i'd rather do something that lets me be creative

3. i don't really remember being afraid of any age. i probably would have been terrified of turning 18 but it was at the very end of high school and i was too concerned with graduation stuff to care.

4. i have no idea. i have the autism that makes you really good at math and science and oblivious to social situations and so i think a lot of my classmates thought of me as a human calculator. i genuinely don't know what most of them actually thought of me and if they were bullying me i didn't notice.

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.

I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.

Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i

[ignitelimelight]

They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government

I love that 17776 has such a big fandom on here but I'm sad (not entirely surprised) that so few of the fans have seen any of Jon Bois's other work. There's so much of the same essence of whimsy in the videos and his way of storytelling is so genuinely captivating that it doesn't even matter if you care about sports to enjoy them (and not all of his videos are about sports).

So I want to provide a choice selection of my favorites in the hope that some people get to experience them for the first time. If you decide to watch any of them, please tell me what you think because I like to live vicariously through showing people things.

this post is about black and brown people in britain and europe who are just as british and european as their white neighbours. everyone in the notes taking it as a cue to yammer about distinctions between types of white people in britain and europe is doing exactly what the post describes. shut the fuck up.
