out of all the people i’ve seen in the world the ones with the most swag are

roller skaters

eccentric librarians

plague doctors

people who dress victorian

frogs

that’s it. like have you ever seen a roller skater who didn’t look cool? have you ever seen someone wearing like some sort of old victorian getup and think, “ha. loser”. no, no you haven’t. because those types of people are literally the coolest to ever walk the earth and we can’t look directly at them.

waking up in the morning being neurodivergent is like i wake up at the exact same time every day or i sleep until the afternoon. everything is too loud. the sun is too bright. i can hear my watch ticking but i can't touch the strap to take it off because it's not night-time yet. i'm stuck here. i could walk for miles. and i could do that without thinking a thing. i have to shut down my brain it's too much there's too much. my dog is the only one who understands me. and it's enough. it's not enough. i haven't spoken to my friends in three months. we text every day. i forgot what their face looks like. they liked marigolds the best in seventh grade. then it was daisies, and now it's tulips. the flowers seem fake and the sky is cartoon-blue. the trees only move when i'm not looking. and i'm a singular speck in a vast universe too wide for my understanding. then i force down my meds and everything is almost tolerable again.

went to church today (sunday) and experienced an extreme bout of derangement when the pastor, during his sermon, said "face to face with faith that is failing" and my head immediately filled with examples of deancasgayestmoments.jpeg

i'm this close 👌👌 to actually using that quote for a webbed thing, something i'm sure my pastor intended his sermon to inspire. truly doing the lord's work by making everything about the gay angel

maybe one day i can satisfy my desire to write niche little essays (or video essays) about random topics that mean a lot to a small amount of people... you know, like brian david gilbert

If you’re having trouble writing, whether it’s working on an outline, furthering a scene, or figuring out your plot, I highly suggest a change of scenery. This morning all i did was sit in my local library (they’ve taken precautions because of the pandemic and i was wearing my mask the entire time, don’t worry) with a different setting around me. It really allowed my mind some room to breathe.

Often, I think, if you’re someone who tries to write on a regular basis, or it’s a hobby of yours, your brain can become tired of the same information being fed to it each time you sit down to write. If your mind sees the same room, the same table, feels the same sensations and breathes the same air- if it processes the same information from every other time you’ve written, it can get repetitive. It can get boring.

So, if you’re feeling a little stuck, a little worn down, or a little claustrophobic (in whatever your doing, this doesn’t only apply to writing I think), take a walk, go somewhere new. Find some free WiFi or open your favourite notebook.

if i ever actually start making video essays on youtube like i want to, i know damn well one of the first ones is gonna be an actual essay i've been sitting on for about 2 years on omegaverse (a/b/o); which covers its origins, history, how it was a cultural phenomena that changed lgbtq+ (arguably, especially trans) and furry communities, and how it affected fandom society in the past vs how it affects fandom society today. i should really start talking about the weird shit i've put extensive time into researching and writing
