Not Crazy, Just Proud

Walking contradiction. Not inclined to resign to maturity. Rambles. Fandoms of several sorts. Cosplay. Occasional signal boosting. Prepare for anything.

‘Tis the season for resurrection!

(And I don’t mean to say I’m a zombie. Probably.) 

Haaayy you guys! I’ve clearly already pulled the plug (as a friend would say, “I’ve been had been done”) on tumblr, personally, because I just don’t want to see all the fandom and other wankery. Other social media already occupies too much of my time, not even mentioning the world being on fire, and I need to unplug more. 

That being said! I have missed some of the friends I made through here. There’s a bunch of different places I’m still (mildly) active on if you have any interest in keeping touch! 

  • Personal - If you have any interest in what I, as a barely functioning adult, do on the semi daily, I do the most posting/bitching on these:
  • Instagram
  • Twitter
  • If you mostly followed me for my cosplay, these are your best bets:
  • The same IG as above
  • Facebook cospage
  • If you enjoyed my fanfiction/writing: 
  • AO3 - some of my fic
  • Microfiction twitter (tiny tweet-encapsulated stories)
  • Micofiction tumblr (recently started putting the tweets onto this)

As far as this tumblr goes, this is the end. I hope you guys are getting enough rest, having good days, and staying strong in this fucked up timeline we’ve got going. You are seen, and cared for, and loved. You matter.

Behold, the ghost of tumblr past, as I emerge from my tumblr hiatus to ask a question of you good folks! I'm always inspired by my artist friends doing Inktober and I wanna force myself to write little drabbles everyday (because I have tried Nano a couple times and BOY HOWDY that's a failure, which will only be worse this year because of daily twelve hour shifts), and I heard/saw some mentions of Flufftober and/or Kinktober, but I CAN NOT for the life of me find ANYTHING resembling the actual prompts list?? I only get a few random hits of people's already written fics, mentions of the no shaving Flufftober (Movember's little bro??), Or a very Undertale-centric thing. Please help, Writing Tumblr. You're my only hope. XD

I saw so many good Overwatch cosplayers at C2E2 & now I crave fanfic. Please give me your recs, even if you think everyone's read them! I haven't read many, so. I'm mostly into Reaper76, but I am tentatively open to other pairings as long as it's well written!

Hey nerds! I'm just about finished packing for #C2E2 so I can start the drive after I get out of work tomorrow! Hope all your con crunch is finished up so you can get some good sleeps! This is my parsed down cosplay lineup - I'm trying to make it a very chill con, but you know what they say about good intentions! ;) Nerd Herd and possibly Citadel Shep Friday, Iron Man Saturday and regular citizen Sunday.

HI things have been crazy pants in Real Life but I'm gonna be at C2E2 this weekend!

I'll be wearing Iron Man, a closet Nerd Herd uniform, and maaaaybe the ME Citadel DLC outfit.

I hope to see some of you guys there! Let me know if I'll see you!

@actualryder oh my goshhh, you are the sweetest!

[And I hope you don’t mind me publishing this, so that way I can look back at it once it’s answered and smile fondly at it! Since I think it disappears completely if I answer it privately? How do tumblr.]

I’ve been varying levels of okay, which continues still, but then I also got this new dumb job (working for THE MAN, but at least it gives me a paycheck and I think good benefits??) which means I’m trying vainly to adjust to an old person’s sleep schedule, the exact opposite of my truly nocturnal nature. Le sigh. This means that my already heretofore tumblr lurking became just straight up nonexistent. Once I get more adjusted, hopefully that’ll change! 

..warrrgh, I wrote a novel you probably didn’t care about, I apologize. OTL But yes, I’m doing okay! I hope you’re doing really well, too.

p.s., nice name change. 

p.p.s. one day I’ll play Andromeda

Nothing like good ol' social media making you feel like dirt. XD Even besides the usual "the world is on fire, we're all going to die" feelings. I know you're not suppose to compare yourself to others (been trying to convince myself of that for my entire life), but, well, here we are. I barely even got my foot in the science door after years of trying before I was promptly on my ass again. Still haven't fully recovered, and I can't even be a rogue scientist. Can't think of anything when I'm worried about bills and living. I'm getting older and I'm still not secure (#Millenialproblems). I see people who are praised consistently for being wonderful friends, but they see fit to stab me in the back and/or abandon me because I'm not what they wanted me to be. I don't want to spawn children, but I also don't want to live on Spinster Island, and lemme tell you, the dating pool is just getting shallower and full of more fecal matter. I don't know. Sorry. I have no real reason for posting good except to get it off my chest, even if assholes will say I should just suck it up or write it out in a journal. And maybe I should. But whatever. Fuck it. I'll probably regret this in the morning. I blame the hour.

Sometimes I see the news & I'm just like, "why should I bother trying to become employed again, I'm never going to be able to afford living"

I'm poor and a woman and the daughter of immigrants. Might as well just die now, for all that the government is trying to do to us.

Not to mention that it's been difficult enough for me to find lab jobs, and now with their war on knowledge and science...

Executive Order 9066 dated February 19, 1942, in which President Franklin D. Roosevelt Authorizes the Secretary of War to Prescribe Military Areas, 2/19/1942

File Unit: Executive Orders 9041 - 9070, 1/26/1942 - 2/24/1942. Series: Executive Orders, 1862 - 2011. Record Group 11: General Records of the United States Government, 1778 - 2006

Issued by President Franklin Roosevelt seventy-five years ago on February 19, 1942, this order authorized the evacuation of all persons deemed a threat to national security from the West Coast to relocation centers further inland. In the next 6 months, over 100,000 men, women, and children of Japanese ancestry–over 60,000 of them American citizens–were moved to assembly centers. They were then evacuated to and confined in isolated, fenced, and guarded relocation centers, known as internment camps.

The U.S. Government would eventually be compelled to compensate surviving internees for their treatment in 1988.
