So I have a lot of fic in my memories from LJ and I not only read the fics, but all the comments and man are there usually a lot of them. I got into writing right before the band ended so I missed out on getting that kind of love and it kind of hurts.
People were more open to the stories back before 2012 and they talked about what they liked a lot more, along with what they didn’t. They gave constructive criticism and the writer gave them cookies for it. ^0^
I think that people are more reserved in their comments now because much of the writing is about smut and porn and to find the ones with plot and relatable characters is harder now. Although I write my fair share of NC-17 scenes and stores, I do try and create plot and characters that ask you to care for them. i am trying that with a few of my stories now and leaving the NC-17 ones to the less than six chapters I think.
I am hoping that more readers will come out and be honest about what they read and what they would like to read in the future. ^-^
I haven't done much today honestly physically cause I still can't, but mentally...yeah I've done quite a lot...if that makes sense.😬
Let me explain. I decided to be part of the low consumer 2025 movement or under consumption core where i only get what I truly need and nothing else. I have been waiting for my taxes to come in order to make this happen and today is the day. 😤
Right away I bought the rolling cart for the kitchen cause I have a kitchen converted from a laundry room...don't ask, and have no counter space to cook properly. Then I got the meat slicer that I needed to buy bulk meat and cut it down to the sizes I need which is gonna save money for sure cause I need super thin meats for Japanese recipes and that is considered exotic or special cut and costs more.🤨
The last thing I picked up was new silverware cause out of three sets i bought in the last three years I have all the knives and nothing else. Yeah...my kids heard it good about that and now it is a $5 charge if I find ANY missing from the new set from everyone. I'm not messing around with this shit.😠
Other than a few used pieces of clothing for my daughter and I from Thred Up and adding three subscriptions for groceries including Costco, I am done. That's it. Also I learned something interesting that might be useful for others. Think about what you make an hour and then think about what you want to buy. How many hours do you have to work afford it? My daughter's sushi plate at Shop Rite is $14.99. That's a little less than an hour of my pay. If I eat my fav at Taco Bell, it's $8.00 and than includes up charge for frozen drink, added rice, and rounding up for charity. That's half an hour of work for me. Interesting huh? Think about that next time you want to treat yourself.🧐
Still in so much pain from work yesterday that I am having trouble standing on my own. I know I really pushed myself hard to prove i could do the job but I need to stop doing that honestly. I am supposed to go over to my friend's house and cook for her tonight but I am in so much pain that I don't know if I can actually handle it. Ugh, guilt is such a thing with me.😩
My boy got his coat finally and man did he deserve it! Whether he felt chuni or not he rallied everyone in the right way to win the battle! Still I keep remembering snake boy's comment about the calamity and after the ending I can see a bigger picture that they didn't figure out yet sadly.😖
After today I don't know if it I can take anymore honestly.😶
Everyone needs to see this and sign it!
For those of you who don’t already know, there is a petition going around to actually stock binders in stores (like Walmart/Kmart/Target etc.)!!!
I realized yesterday that I was rushing to watch my anime so that I could post my reactions and it was making me annoyed cause I was also rushing the rest of my day. I think it is easier to just post the next day about my anime watch the day before and I feel so dumb that I was trying so hard and ruining my fun!😵
So that I decided to use common sense, imagine that, let's start with a bonus episode to the day because Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte was delayed so it came out yesterday instead of its normal scheduled day.😁
I'm going to do a little rant about this anime separately cause I am sick of a comparison theory, if you know you know, but man I was on point with this episode! I mean its kind of bad I was cause it means I watch waaaay too much True Crime, but yeah I knew exactly the diagnosis and I'm kind of proud...or disturbed, not really sure which.😶
I like that we are actually getting more in depth into the main characters this ep rather than just solving the Who Are You spot light of the new guest of the hotel.🤭
FINALLY! The elephant in the room that so many should have figured out by now is out for everyone to know...well except for Maomao of course. As smart as she is I can't believe she didn't figure out something I figured out the first quarter of first season.😓
I love how we went from light hearted moments at the festival and one of the darkest that I think we've seen this season so far in less than 15 min. 😲
Fuck yeah!
I am going to miss this man.
My daughter and I have been boycotting Walmart since Thanksgiving when they decided to Roll Back DEI and announce it while every one was eating dinner. Naturally people were pissed and imagine that no one wanted to shop on Black Friday there. I wonder why?😈
Anyway, I've never been happy that I had to buy from Walmart cause I can't afford not to, but after that mic drop I was fully done. Now in the last few months with all the news coming out about lawsuits and screw overs, I am really happy about my decisions even if it means I pay a little more here and there. My conscience is clear.😇
Let me also preface that I do this with all companies that pull shady shit like McD, Valero, Home Dept, and Target to name a few. I pay a lot of attention to where my money goes now and who gets it. Right now I am standing with Costco and Aldi for sure. Take a moment and look up who is being bought to decide who you want to still buy from.😉
This was just all kinds of awwwww.
a short comic about witches and wishes and wanting things.
One of the most frustrating things about writing is whether to write with someone or not. When I write with other Killjoys, I kind of feel more motivated cause I have someone to bounce ideas off of. They also keep it interesting. The downside is waiting for them to want to write and then if you do not agree with how they are writing the character and you know you would do it differently. Plus the other one can abandon you, as i have had a few do, and it can stagnant the story or kill it all together. Writing on your own if fun. You are in full control and you know how each character is going to act and say. The negative is the motivation to write can be lost and no one to share ideas with.
So its the third week of the Spring 2025 Anime Season and its been pretty amazing! I have a few anime that look like they are going to make the 3 ep ruling for sure, but a few son the fence. Still, I want to mention some of the ones that have peeked my interest and ones that I started watching that were not on my radar because of Anitubers that I checked out.🤭
So this first set are ones are the ones that just finished showing the 3rd ep but didn't need to cause I am enjoying it so much!🤗
fourteen anime made the cut and funny thing is that three of them were not even on my radar originally! Umamusume: Cinderella Gray, Vigilante -Boku no Hero Academia ILLEGALS, and Ballpark de Tsukamaete! I have been really surprised at how good they all were! This is why I watch anitubers say what they are watching cause I find a few diamonds I didn't expect to! 😁
Part two coming out in a bit so stay tuned and starting next week I will be posting my daily anime watching again! Jaa ne!🤗
So i've been trying to decide what to do with my blog here since I restarted it and I'm thinking of just sharing all the merch, cons, figures, and other Japanese related stuff i am into. I really do enjoy and respect the culture a lot and have an interest in almost everything about it!
I was slowly collecting figures for a while, but really got started during Covid when there were no cons going on. I pretty much just started to spend my saved con money on them and it took off! I believe I have over 50, if I include my Nendoroids, with more on ther way each year. Its a pretty bad habit that is hard to stop...not that I want to.
Also once a month I try to get to NJ where i have a little Japanese Mecca called Mitsuwa where I also spend waaaay too much money, but I have so much fun and get to see all kinds of foods and gadgets that i would love to own one day not to mention practically every ingredient I need to cook any Japanese dish I can imagine!
I may sprinkle in some family stuff like concerts I've seen with my kids not bandom related as well as other real life moment. I guess I will see in the future. Again not sure who is going to read this or take the journey with me, but if this is just a good way to keep my memories alive, I'll take it.
