I Need To Remind Myself Of This Every Once In A While :))

A comment

in one of my old WIPs:

‘This is about me being aromantic NOT dramatic, in case you forgot your own sexuality’

my younger self was such a sassy bloke lmao

(younger me is me from a few months ago)

leaving a three hour lab be like:

what time is it? why is it dark outside? where did the sun go?

I'm starving.

I'm never doing that again (literally has the same lab scheduled the following week).

Hopefully this is something it's possible to train oneself out of, but it's unfortunate that a day off work doesn't feel like a "real" day off to me if I spend it doing something, where something = like, going out to a place, spending more than an hour or two somewhere other than at home. It's like deep in my bones I feel like a day off should consist of chilling at home doing not much of anything, and the more a day deviates from that the more something in me feels like it's been cheated out of something. But I only get two days off per week and if they're all like that then all of a sudden life is entirely empty. Some people have the opposite instinct, they don't feel like they've had a true day off unless they've gone out and done something, experienced something. That seems better.

literally shoved it back under the rug and went 'i'll deal with it when its time TM'

time TM never came

in honor of ace week id like to shoutout every asexual who first thought they were bi/pan because they looked at all the genders and felt no difference and zero is equal to zero so they said "huh. must be bisexual" and then shoved their sexuality back under the rug for 3-5 years

I don’t want a job I want a cottage in the woods and paint, read and eat berries

i am LOVING the Magnus archives rn

Only recently started listening to it (im mid S2)

at first idk if I’d stick with it bc not that big of a horror fan :/

but I’ve really warmed up to the overarching narrative formed by individual stories style and the mystery solving

My fav part is the reveal of apathetic cold-hearted Jon being an absolutely crazy conspiracy theorist

I pretended I didn’t believe the statements bc someone is watching

What an unhinged individual

then him becoming a paranoid stalker trying to solve Gertrude’s murder all the while not realising he was the prime suspect BROOOO

creating a toxic work environment & turning into that boss that everyone would hate irl

Then turning his gaslighting onto Tim as well with the “you can’t quit and I can’t fire you there’s something wrong with the archive” (which is valid but the way the convo started with Tim informing him he’s not doing his job as head archivist to Jon kinda convincing Tim of his conspiracies is hilarious)

OHMIGOD TURNS OUT IM NOT FUNNY IM JUST SASSY NO ONE TOLD ME THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE
