Just started watching good omens season two again and I love (/ am deeply wounded by) the fact that aziraphale begins the season by saying "I'm very good at forgiveness- it's one of my favourite things!" to Maggie with his happy little face and twinkly eyes and the season ends on that shell shocked "I forgive you" thats all comes out wrong and strained and bitter. Just a fun little parallel there that's not causing me tremendous pain rn haha-

Downloaded the unofficial homestuck collection yesterday. It's beautiful. But I'm mildly terrified I'm about to commit to *another* read. The last one was only 2021, how many hours of my life am I willing to give to this webcomic?? (The answer is, unfortunately, a lot)

I have so many pictures from comicon that I want to post but tumblr won't let me upload any pictures - or change my blog in any way either. Will it let me post this...?

Edit: ok yeah text is fine... but I have so many pics and I made Dualscar and Mindfang cosplays I wanted to share

I’ve been gone a long time but I’m trying to get back into fandom and the stuff that brings me joy. Just logged into Ao3, determined to respond to everyone in my inbox.... I have comments from 900+ days ago. ...What’s even the etiquette here??? So far I’ve been replying with hearts and stuff like “I know you wrote this like three years ago, but I just wanted to say thank you-”.

I've been in therapy for the past year and it's been rough but... good? I figured out a bunch of why I'm so mentally ill, but I remain mentally ill and I havent been offered any support beyond a check up in 6 months time 😬 I'm also still trying to do a part time PhD and be a good nanny when I'm at work. It's a lot. But I'm coming out of the depression/ dissociation fog and back into my body. Anyway yeah I'm trying to feel like a human again hence this talking into the void update. Also: turns out I'm autistic. That's a hell of a thing to learn at the age of 26, but explains a lot.
