I feel like audio drama community is redoing superwholock again. it's cool and all but let us not forget why superwholock was not it, also.

if you don't see a representation out and loud, don't call a thing representation. in a community that praises acceptance and diversity, let us not forget that that's not at all the case in the original material, sometimes.

and when it is an actual representation, fleshed out, loud and clear, we shouldn't sleep on it. just saying. love y'all.

Favourite mother-daughter dynamics?

This was tough, ngl.

1. Lyra Silvertongue and Marisa Coulter (HDM) - I love that both of them are major player and their relationship is so important to the plot.

2. Daisy Johnson amd Jiaying (AOS) - Still one of the most emeotional arcs EVAH.

3. Caroline Forbes and Lizzie and Josie Saltzman (TVD/TO/Legacies) - I find their realtionship fascinating and well, Caroline is my #1 character. I only wish Legacies would come back on the right track so I can enjoy were the Caroline mentions.

4. Gwendolyn Shephard and Lucy Montrose (The Gem Trilogy) - They have very little screentime (actually, paigetime xDD), but for some reason young!me looooved Lucy hard and I found this relationship wrecking.

5. Ernestine and Rosalee (Underground) - The fact that these two never got to be reunited with each other is A Tragedy!

Honorable mentions: Lorelai and Rory Gilmore (I watched the Gilmore Girls pilot last night because my friends are all enablers and I have no self-control), Anna and Pearl Zhu (They needed more screentime, damnit!), the Halliwell sisters and their mother, and of course my own OCs Pandora Adelardi and her daughters, two relationships that are heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time and bare some resemblance to all of my top 5, LMAO. (With Lyra and Marisa, the resemblance is more Doylist than Watsonian).

Rainbow Quartz, gemology-wise, is *not* a Rainbow Aura Quartz. There is a stone called Rainbow Quartz.

Rainbow Quartz is a naturally formed quartz with internal cracks that create small rainbows in it.

Rainbow Quartz is *broken inside*.

I have a very strong intuition about things. I will most of the time know what is happening or will happen to the point that it is scary.

which begs the question, is the constant thought of people being fake nice and kind to me intuition or just anxiety?

thinking of removing all the social media platforms from my phone for a week. it won't make things better but I will be less exposed to the news. I am so tired, exhausted and scared to be able to even think right -let alone react well.

specially, twitter and Instagram has been draining me the most since those are the places where I have more Turkish moots.

if you wanna reach to me, try discord (which may get blocked here, so beware) or WhatsApp. I am physically good and safe but mentally, if I see the news one more time, I might lose myself beyond thinking.

for those who are unaware of what's going on, check out news about Turkish femicides in the last few days. I have no energy nor mindset to explain. but worry none, I have support systems all around me, friends and family that are there to hold me. for them, I'm so thankful.

I don't even know what this is about anymore. I shall check social media through my pc, anyways but it being an inch away from my hands is not good right now.

good thing about learning audio design from me: if I ever learn a new trick, I'll run to you to teach you how to do it.

bad thing about learning audio design from me: if you ask "what does it do?" don't expect the answer to be comprehensible.
