I really need better friends. It says a lot how I can't talk to anyone about the string of traumatic incidents in the last 16 months, and have to actively pretend they didn't happen around people who knew my ex. I feel unsafe talking about personal things around people I thought were my friends because they'll use it against it me or read me in bad faith. If anything bad happens to me, absolutely no one will have my back.

I just really don't know how to find better friends. I haven't used Discord in a while but a DM I sent expressing discomfort over sharing a GC was left unanswered. Just like I expected. How do you even find people who are mutually interested in what you make, what you have to say, your personal life, etc. Feels like friends nowadays are just people you send memes to, or sounding boards.

There are entire albums, former passions, and hobbies I can't touch anymore because it reminds me of how fucking cruel my ex was to me by dumping me to the curb and refusing to contact me "until I get better". Trying to date diagnosed sociopaths: Not even once.

[for context, I started getting into making Littlest Pet Shop customs after the con last one. I'm 80% done with one and just started on a second.]

not to be shrill but i HATE how most toys are blind boxes (etc) now. this is probably one of the worst times to be a kid lol, not only are parents stupid and have youtube raise them, everything is expensive, but so many toys are basically glorified gambling. kids toys, fyi, not adult collectibles like tokidoki or labubu (i still hate that ugly shit…)

blah blah i know that blind bags and booster packs always existed. but it wasn’t the main form toys were sold. it wasn’t even this bad a decade ago, the mlp blind bags were fun because it was a side thing. after work i decided to see what LPS were in stock, and they were ALL blind boxes. i used to be into those zuru unicorn squad toys because my old job discounted them, but as soon as i got my favorite character i stopped and donated all my other ones to goodwill. but i kind of forget it existed until now because it was a short lived phase and there’s stupid ass axolotls and mini brands now.

this shit is just wasting money, gambling, and encourages scalping. and shoplifting but honestly this shit deserves to be stolen, it sucks!

the irony is that i got a blind box anyway because they’re $5 and i figured whoever is inside i’ll use as my next custom. and i got the rare one on my first try. but i don’t even like it.

This is probably the shortest fall anime season preview I've written. There are lots of sequels this season. The nostalgia trend continues with a reboot of Cat's Eye (the first episode is already out) and the second season of Ranma 1/2. Disney Twisted Wonderland Season 1 will finally be out at the end of October.

As always, I'm only including the series I'm interested in. For a full list of anime airing this fall season, see AniChart.

I Got a Letter From the President?

paperghost: (MLP everything good comes back again)
[personal profile] paperghost
I don't write much anymore, but here's the page I said was due today:

I Got a Letter From the President?!

A humorous and somber reflection of a funny childhood anecdote, and part of history.

(If any politically savvy types are wondering why I didn't cover the Whitewater controversy, it's because I had enough on my plate when it came to research and fact-checking.)

I also published a shitpost. Third and fourth draft are still in progress, and the promised review won't happen until whenever it actually airs.

Dan Quayle

So, I'm doing some last final research on an article I'm writing, and I just now discovered Dan Quayle's website? The layout is peak Web 1.0, but really charming. He may not have been a good Vice President from what I've read, but I guess I can hand him this...

update

I lost interest in actively working on my site, but out of nowhere I have 3 drafts. One is my three year retrospective that I'm struggling with the end of. Second is a personal experience I have with one of our former Presidents, and it's due on the 26th. Third is a work of fiction. The order these will be published in will likely be Two -> Three -> One, but my main priority is the one due on Friday. It's pretty funny and somber due to the subject, I hope people like it.

I also promised that I would write a follow-up review for Hazbin Hotel season 2, which I am planning on doing. It just depends on my work schedule. Season 2 drops near the end of October, and I have convention lined up the week after that in November. I decided that I'm going to go out of the house at least once a month, and I'm not staying home in October to pirate Hazbin fucking Hotel (no offense). So my outing will ideally be early or mid-October. Hopefully work doesn't fuck me over.

Recently found out about this lovable anxiety-filled character named Tomoko from Watamote, being quite late to the entire series as it is. Went on sketching her face.
