"i am that gasp of breath on your deathbead (stale and panicked) but you're still dying for me. i got a list of things in my head that i miss about you. id love to write them but i dont want to give myself away to you this easily."

No because this is so Enrida. It is so Matt coded. Gasp of breath on your deathbed ???? So on the nose here but like Yeah It's Suffocation. But you're still dying for me ???? And the use of 'for' as a preposition is so interesting because you can take it in the way of "you're dying because of me" but also "you are dying and you're doing it for me. a last act of devotion, even though I don't fucking deserve it." and I think that is so cool.
Things in my head that I miss about you. Present tense. He misses Juan in the here and now. He knows he fucked up. He made the worst mistake of his life and Juan is dead and he can't change that, he can only continue missing him. But keeping it all inside his head is all he's allowed to do. Because he's got an image. He's got their carefully curated rivalry to uphold. He can't reveal it. I don't want to give myself away to you this easily.
I recently rediscover this parody. Every time I hear it now I just of Neige as Candy. Vil as Justin and Aaron as their fans (or Rook).

My name is Harley. I made the prototype. It was difficult to put the pieces together, but unfortunately, something went so wrong. Now I can't do anything but make these stupid toys! My name is Harley( Harley, Harley, Harley)
my brain is rotting sm i literally have like three rtc aus floating around in my head at this point in time and i'm already working on something for one of them and the other two are just like marinating and i'm so ADSKLFJAKLJKL
anyways this isn't part of any of the 3 aforementioned aus but imagine if jane came back but instead of coming back as penny lamb with two braids and a doll that looks suspiciously like jane doe she came back as penny lamb in jane doe's body that looked suspiciously like the old penny lamb
tfw ur so <333 about smth you cannot get it out of your head so you draw it on the worst "drawing" platform in the world (i swear i have a digital art app i just didn't want to switch out 😍)
MY DIGITAL ART STYLE IS SO DIFFERENT FROM MY SKETCHING STYLE i'm not very happy with it but the brain rot is rotting

It's been hard hiding my newfound MH hyper-fixation! All I wanna do is look at the lore and buy the books!
...
When I read the first MH book I REEEEAAAALLLY needed to rant about it because that story is freaking WILD.
So I ranted at my sister, but I took out all the names and gave as little description as possible so she couldn't guess what story the book refers to.
Then the NEXT DAY, she mentions the MH live action! And I thought, this would be a good time to call myself out.
SHE brought it up!
...
So I told her about all the changes and the characters they are leaving out. Especially my boys JJ/HH. When I told her they are not bringing back Operetta she actually seemed upset!
And I told her more context of the scenes I talked about from the books.
(Mild MH book 1 spoiler)
Sister: ooohh... So when you talked about that girl's head falling off, you meant Frankie?
Me: 😮💨 ...yeah... 😳🥲
...
Apparently, my sister was the one who introduced me to MH when we were kids. (Which I don't really remember how/when I watched it growing up, but know I saw a few movies as a kid.)
...
And now we are watching the live action movie together when it comes out 😁
I made some monster high memes at 2 am because I'm having major Monster High brain rot right now.

JJ: "you never pull over! You just go faster!"

a couple thoughts on self-improvement
we need to understand that not giving ourselves enough time to kick a bad habit and establish a new better habit is a form of self-sabotage.
humans always want a quick solution for everything but our nervous systems were not built to adapt so quickly. that's why quitting a bad habit cold-turkey or starting a new good habit in an extreme way rather than easing in slowly usually doesn't work. (not saying it never works, but even if it does it's not the most optimal way to do things).
think about it this way: most addictions don't go from 0 to 100 immediately. since this is something that most of us struggle with, let's take for example phone addiction: you didn't just become addicted to consuming brainrot after watching a couple of reels. it's a learned behavior that develops from repetition and reenforcement.
i was already addicted to social media and the internet long before i had a smart phone. i watched hours of youtube and scrolled endlessly on tumblr. the problem just got worse and worse as I got more exposure to it and my brain became used to the sensation of that particular, easy dopamine reward. of course shortform content taking over and apps becoming more and more predatory in their design made the problem worse.
another thing that we tend to forget is that creating a better habits means making a conscious decision to do so on a regular basis. the fact that this too, is hard on our bodies and minds needs to be taken into consideration. that's why it's important to celebrate little successes. you managed to go a week without instagram? that's great! you managed to delete an app that you've been wanting to delete for a long time? there's more good things waiting if you keep going!
and if we mess up? if we re-install it or binge-scroll after a week of no social media? -we immediately feel like failures. instead of drowning in this feeling of failure, which reinforces us to go back to our addictive behavior, we need to encourage ourselves to keep trying.
and when we keep trying it's important to observe why we went back to the behavior we are trying to stop and what we could try to do better next time, so that we don't try blindly. what we perceive as failures are actually just experiences to learn something new and do better the next time.
the importance of gently and steadily building resilience and making your body and mind get used to trying again cannot be understated when it comes to forming better habits.

Sending out the love to all my fellow donut-house-builders.
Please do! I need more Captain Marvel fics and I've already exhausted all of Ao3 and most of Tumblr so I need more fics to satiate my little book goblin mind that decided to focus on Captain Marvel for a while(it's been 3 months, send help-) and if I don't feed it in time, my productivity levels will go down to hell
