There was also something having to do with Trans!Chihiro where someone said they wanted a fanfic based on that because they knew I could write it really well

I know, I’m in a lot more pain than I was last night
I wonder if regular pain medicine would work for this or if it has to specifically be Pepto-Bismol since it’s my stomach because we have the former but not the latter
I'm sobbing because FUNimation misspelled 'automatically' on their newest sales promotion
They do that all of the time. And people keep trying to tell me they're a 'serious, professional company' uh-huh
I just hear people trash it. And Crunchyroll tooThey keep trying to get me to go to illegal pirating websites but..no thanks I'd rather not break the law thank you very much!
I remember last week when we went to the community’s Thanksgiving party and when I won at Bingo I got a game I really love to play but I know that thing is just going to sit in the closet unopened for years on end because Mom doesn’t really like to play board games. Or any kind of game. We have so many fun games here at the house that I never get to play because there’s nobody to play them with and it makes me sad. A lot of times I vastly prefer playing a game than watching TV because my attention span is far higher for a game
WHat game was it?
Trouble a childhood favourite
AhWe didn't play many board games as kids. Mostly because the ones we had were stupid :D
All I did as a kid was play board games lol I love Trouble, Life, and Monopoly
We have Monopoly but no one ever wants to play :D we used to play Apples to Apples but it's annoying because we get stupid cards that make the game boring. Jackbox TV is soooooo much better. Especially Quiplash!!
Never played any of those lol I used to play Apples to Apples with a deaf girl who also couldn’t speak in my speech therapy sessions. It made for an interesting experience
I really hate how girls get on each other’s cases because one wants to help support a boy who’s having issues. Like boys get enough crud already from other boys, they don’t need girls giving them crud too. Let boys cry let boys be soft let boys have problems Maybe I’m just more sensitive to it since a majority of the guys in my life were extremely emotionally repressed and it showed in negative ways. They either became very emotionally violent or sniveling wimps. My own dad was like that, for crying out loud.
So we shouldn’t, as girls, just spend time pushing guys down who legit need our help and emotional support. They’re not going to get it from other guys, usually. Boys can be fluffy and soft too
Thanks you!!!
Lol
I was being serious :P i hate how stuck up people are and how pervasive toxic masculinity is. I'm still overcoming a lot of the stuff I was taught when I was little
My dad was really emotionally violent and now that I’m older I wonder if it had something to do with his upbringing. I’m not excusing his behavior, I’m just wondering. He grew up in a strict and traditional family. He only had an older brother and they both joined the military. Everything Dad was into seemed to be very ‘macho’ like what he was expected to like. I was a huge tomboy growing up and he seemed utterly clueless what to do about that and kept telling Mom to ‘rein me in’. I’m not suggesting he’d be super girly if he was given a different upbringing. I’m sure his interests he was genuinely interested in. I’m just saying the way he handled certain things makes me wonder as an adult now if he was really emotionally repressed as a child
Sounds like he might have beenWHen I was younger I'd never play with my sister because I was told dolls were stupid and for girls. My brother always played with my sister and I thought it was weird.
But at the same time I didn't even like action figures, race cars, etc all that much. I liked *some* but it wasn't very fun for me.
It’s thanks to him we’re literally the only people in his family’s side we have the last name we do and I’m still salty over it because I wanted his mother’s last name it sounds fancier lol
Still trying to find a way to improve my fanfic writing. Everything I’ve read thus far about trying to make my fanfics popular I already do anyway and it’s not working. So maybe it’s my writing in general that I need to work on. I randomly started watching a video earlier about why artists are their own worst critics thinking it might be of help. Yes it was about drawing but sometimes the advice crosses over, you know? They’re both a form of fine art. But the advice wasn’t helpful for me at all. I know, it’s my fault for watching an advice video in the wrong medium. Maybe the problem was her advice for a lot of the points was extremely vague. The only point she went into a lot of detail over was the fourth point which was flipping your canvas. But obviously that is for drawing only, not fanfics. The other points were to step away from it for a few hours, which I do already, don’t judge it purely based on what others say about it, think of specific problems you want to work on and fix, and look at your older art and redraw it with again a clear idea of what you disliked about it and what you want to fix now that you’ve improved
I’m not sure how well some of that would work for a fanfic author since writing is a far more time-consuming and daunting task. Like a drawing, you just look at it. I do not have time to go through all my older fanfics, read through them all with a careful eye, and then rewrite them all once more but better. And I don’t think that’d matter much since I don’t think it’d help me anyway
Wow 2019 was such an iconic year for music
I still think one of my proudest moments was when I was in tenth grade. I was in English 10 Honors and for the first semester I was really struggling. I was going through really hard times at home; I’m one of those people who doesn’t like to bring domestic baggage like that to places like school but at that point I couldn’t help it. On top of that I was really struggling to read the books we were assigned. I kept failing all my tests and projects. It wasn’t that I didn’t care, I just couldn’t focus. My teacher had no idea what to do for me because he knew I was capable and bright and it wasn’t his area to intervene. I was secretly terrified of getting kicked out of the class. Around January, we received a new project where we had to make a playlist for the book we were writing. Due to a weird stroke of luck, once our entire week was nothing but two-hour delays. I crunched on that week, doing nothing but working on that playlist. It was an easy project and I was determined to get at least a passing grade on it.
My time to present in class finally came. The point was to pick out three songs and describe why you picked them; what the song itself was about and its significance to the themes shown in the book. Then we chose which song we wished to play a brief snippet from. I picked my three. Our teacher was standing on the sidelines and was just staring at me. I assumed he wasn’t thinking anything good about me, but I didn’t care. I knew exactly how to own this. I talked about my first two songs. Then I talked about the last song; Demons by Imagine Dragons. I said the song fit the character to a T because he too is struggling with his own inner demons. He doesn’t know who to listen to or who will win out; etc. I wrote nearly a paragraph about it because it was something I related to at the time. Afterwards, I simply said I was going to play a snippet from Demons. I looked back over at my teacher briefly- and he was smiling. He rarely smiled for anyone. To see him smiling like that, for me, made me feel extremely proud. And to imagine what he thought of me then, to see this brilliant student of his finally rising from the ashes, reborn and all she needed was that push in the right direction. I never got a grade lower than a B after that moment.
To this day I still think about it; truly one of my proudest moments
My mom was making a joke about her parents being all like 'they probably showered just for us because it's a special occasion,' and my baby brother was like 'how do you know so much about them?' and my mom literally said: "Because they're my parents?!"
I really hate it when your friends change not only their username but their picture too so you just spend five minutes on your update page trying to figure out if you actually know them and who they actually are
LolHarry Potter fans: “Our movies aren’t very good, the characters don’t act how they’re supposed to!”
Maze Runner fans: “Haha that’s cute”
Eragon fans: “Hey, at least your adaptations follow the books! Ours didn’t even make an attempt!”
Percy Jackson fans: “Allow us to introduce ourselves,”
A lot of HP fans I know really like the movies. of course they say they're not as good as the book but if you can read those books in two hours...What's worse: PJ movies or The Last Airbender? :p
I don’t know because I’ve never actually seen The Last Airbender, I just know it’s bad lol
Don't. Seriously, do yourself a favor and never watch itOr watch the Nostalgia Critic review :p that was infinitely better
I’ve already watched that review though lol
Sorry for not being able to pry into your memories :p
Why does every video Mom watch have a narrator in a super annoying voice? I swear it’s like she goes out of her way sometimes to deliberately pick the most annoying-sounding ones
Who's she watching?
Someone talking about Elder Scrolls lore but she literally sounded like an eleven-year-old girl
Maybe I should go back to bed, I can't stop sneezing, my eyes are watering and my stomach hurts from how much I'm blowing my nose. But at the same time I feel like I may feel worse if I go to bed and then wake up again especially since I felt perfectly normal when I woke up originally. Besides I'm probably not even sick, I think I just have allergies....I hope
Sounds like it's allergies, yeah. But they can get bad enough to warrant laying down
I hardly ever get sick this time of year to be honest so I think it's allergies too. Though it's kinda late in the year for those too

Delete all YouTube comments except for this one The "got cholera?" mug is obviously for drinking dirty river water out of. Got cholera? You do now
This is an underrated comment
I was inspired and drew something this morning and I showed my mom before she left for the store because she wanted to see and she studied it for a long time before asking without any hesitance: "Is that Toad from Super Mario Brothers?"
I told Mom my favorite X-Man character was Jean Grey and she looked at me as if she had been deeply betrayed
I’m getting really sick of people telling me my fanfic idea would be a lot better or cuter if it was this other ship and I’m just kinda like: ‘....so? does it look like I care?’ I specifically said several times what ship it is, yet you’re still going to come onto it and complain? If the ship bothers you that much but you like the idea, why not just find another fic with that ship or better yet write your own? Whenever I come across an idea I love with a ship I dislike I just rewrite it to fit the ship I like. I don’t go into the other person’s fanfic and say ‘this would be a lot better if you wrote this other ship instead’ Like, just leave me alone over it, I haven’t even done anything bad
I wonder if I should send another help message to GoodReads about my journal? But what if it just goes ignored/unfixed like this time?
I got No Scrubs stuck in my head because of that TikTok duet of Pidge dancing it to it while Lance keeps trying to give them flowers
My mom was joking around again and started calling the anime musicals I love really cheesy and stupid and just all-around ‘horrendous’ and it really got on my nerves even though I know she was just teasing. It was annoying how she wasn’t respecting them when one of her favorite songs she listens to all of the time came from one of those very shows and she’s perfectly aware of that fact too I suppose it bothered me because it’s not like I blindly love all of them just because they’re a musical adaptation; I’m willing to admit they have flaws. Some of them pick people who aren’t good singers, none of them use sets, the costumes and wigs can often look fake or over-the-top, some aren’t well-acted or well-written, many have forgettable and sometimes just terrible songs, and I suppose there is a certain weirdness factor to seeing people act like anime characters. Like I’m not a very big fan of the Diabolik Lovers musical because of how childishly they treated the source material, the songs were all forgettable, and the actors didn’t seem very interested in what they were doing; overall, the show seemed to be very rushed and poorly-planned.
But the main reason why I love them is because they all offer alternate takes on their source materials. Yes they still follow the plot, but the musicals allow you to see what would’ve happened if different characters met up at certain points or if characters who weren’t there for specific scenes got to be there, yet the writing is so seamless. The songs give you a different perspective into what the character is thinking and offer a new view on their circumstances. Sometimes they’re funnier than their source materials because they can get away with more types of specific jokes, or have material come easier to them because of the format. There’s a lot of obvious passion put in. The actors are oftentimes the original voice actors for those characters, and they do their research. They watch or play or read their source material throughly to make sure they nail their character’s mannerisms down to the most minute detail on-stage. Some of them are beloved by their creator and sometimes the source material’s creator is right along the planning process with them, writing the songs or doing the casting. Some of the acting is so perfect you believe that is the character right there on that stage, singing and performing their heart out.
No, they’re not perfect. But they’re clearly popular with a group of people and show no sign of stopping any time soon. I throughly believe the majority of anime should at least look into translating themselves into the medium as it’s a really amazing opportunity to bring a fresh new perspective to the source material for both old and new fans
My baby brother told me someone wrote on a test in Spanish ‘The United States is above America’ and got an automatic detention lol
Is it normal to feel queasy after drinking eggnog?
It has milk so maybe you're reacting to the dairy? Or you just hate it? I dunno. My family always seems fine but I can't stand it
it's personal
