I’m a lil creep too we can be creeps together heh! Why does twitter make you feel bad? But no pressure I do hope I’ll see you back on here but in the meanwhile take care and hopefully we can talk soon again!
i really don't know what it is. i guess in the way i became accustomed to using it, twitter often acted as a tool with which to enforce self-hatred. overall, i'm not a very confident person, and in recent years, i have become intensely reliant on external praise to prop up my self-image wherever it was lacking. i was like no face from spirited away, but with praise. like, the more i was praised, the more i craved, and the more i craved, the more i sought it out, and it never seemed to be enough, you know? because if i'm not being told that i'm good enough, then i must be bad, and if i'm bad, then it confirms what i knew to be true all along, right? (i'm insane) and that intense desire to be adored by a constant, never-ending stream of new faces is obviously not healthy or normal. so i think ultimately i knew there would come a time when i needed to step away and ground myself in reality and leave those feelings of unworthiness and resentment and self-consciousness behind and just watch some anime, read some books, and get back to basics, if that makes sense. maybe i will be back someday, i dont know. but thanks for checking in. it really does mean a lot to me, and i hope you take care! wishing you well.
Nooo I love deranged you come backk
Katyaa come back
Hi Katya!! How do you feel about me practicing bookbinding with one of your fics?
I saw this and thought of you https://twitter.com/prinxemu/status/1722022960398004411?s=46&t=Awg6_M5UEu5RCE53yKL0nA
Not you too?? The amount of writers joined the hockey fic. I’ve only seen compliments so I’m yay you graced us and joined our side! But is it toxic?
yeah, me too! lol. i deleted my stuff a long time ago, so not many people know unless they're really deep diving me on the internet lol but i would definitely never go back. hockey fandom as a fannish person (engaging with fic and fanart and the like) is a much different experience than hockey fandom as a person just on the Straight White Male side of things. i would say both are toxic in their own way. SWM hockey fandom is regularly racist and misogynistic and xenophobic and just generally pretty frustrating. fannish hockey fandom is cliquey and snobbish and infuriating in its own way. it's much better participating in the fannish stuff but like, at what cost.
Have you written for other fandoms besides the ones we know of?
Katya! Are there other kpop groups youre into?
i guess it depends on what u mean by "into"... Into like... listen to? i listen to a lot of kpop groups. i like tvxq, shinee, snsd, rv, nct, ive been enjoying aespa's stuff,... twice seventeen stayc itzy... stray kids... viviz... Lots :')
"into" as in... go crazy over? know every member and all their little animals and facts and figures and write fic for and go insane bc of? Not really. i mean, i like individual members and ill be like, Now that's my Son/Daughter. but if i dip my toe in, its usually just that. a toe or two.
I think you’ll like viktor! Just a gut feeling, but don’t come for me if you end up not liking him hides
I know the ending and everyone was mad, which I get 100%! Im curious how the second season is going to go! I hope they do too c: 🥺 maybe you’ve seen it already but I definitely recommend arcane! It truly one of the best shows, the animations is absolutely stunning and the voice acting such a good choice and the characters🥺 I think there is a character you’d really like!! Hahah!! Yea I feel like watching anime as an adult and child is so different, in a good way! You know nge the art kinda reminds me of the movie perfect blue. But they are both on the older side so that might just be it😂 whaaat??? 3 seasons? Where has time gone?! Oh like the... uh... he doesn’t go try to change the deaths you mean of the rail or just different? I hope you like my recommendation🥺 it’s not an anime but I mean it it’s, to me, very good!
! I haven’t continued game of thrones after season 6 xd I have watched a couple of house of dragon too and it’s so fun! I do prefer the younger cast if I have to be honest though😅 I haven’t seen the other ones you mentioned so I definitely have to check it out asap! Do you take recommendations cause I would love to share my favourite show with you, it is animated though I have to say! Shame on me I still haven’t watched the iconic sailor moon or neon genesis but I definitely want to <3 and wait! Tokyo revengers is back? I had no idea! Is it just as good as the first season or ?
GOOD DECISION ON THE GAME OF THRONES LOL you'll save yourself some heartbreak. hotd was really good for a first season, and i think they'll really find their footing in season 2. well... hoping... lmao also yes i would love a recommendation! I'm always looking for new stuff :^) and yeah, sailor moon and NGE really helped to shape my Adult Anime Enthusiast taste lmao also yeah, i think Tokyo revengers actually has 3 seasons now???? i really am enjoying 2, but its going off the rails now LOL so we'll see how it all shakes out :') but yea, lemme know that rec!!!
I would go through mountains to keep finding you again Katya! I’m different anon and we don’t really talk a lot but you’ve been such a joy to have on here, regularly or not so on the off chance, I hope not, you would leave. I’d hope to find you again!
sorry if this is too intrusive and you can not answer this if you don't want to: why did you delete your regular twt acc?
no, it's not too intrusive, don't worry :^) uh, i think it was a combination of a lot of different things. i was sort of in a weird mental state all spring and summer for some issues with my living situation (nothing to do with my family, but another thing... lol its all very silly, but it gave me a lot of anxiety that kind of spilled over into other areas of my life), so i think that contributed to the feeling that i could not be Myself there or that i had to be a different version of myself in order to make people happy. i've also not been entirely satisfied with the way i engage with social media, so i think the shrinkage in scope has aided me in becoming... Being Less Terminally Online. some days, i really do regret deleting it. i miss some people from that account and i wish i could find them again. so yeah. Idk. im very foolish.
