Chapter 28 Of The Present Is A Gift Has Entered The Building!

A wild ∞ approaches!

Lucky you, you caught me right before I went to bed!

I really like the chorus of this song!! It helps me stay optimistic when times are tough.

I said, I don't like change but I'm not afraid

I can't keep it together ever anyway

When every page is in disarray

I think we'll be okay

“That’s me!”

dusknoir having to visibly hold onto every ounce of patience in his body because ribbons and aimilios went off to fight against mewtwo with nothing but two reviver seeds and a big apple and it immediately bites them back after they call dusknoir to come over because "well we didnt think the dungeon would be so long and that the guy would'nt be so tough 🥺🥺" and dusknoir could only wonder "how did these two graduate. how did they beat primal dialga. HOW THE HELL DID THEY BEAT ME." as he drags his 70-something year old ass from getting his two kids psyshocked to oblivion.

He would’ve died of a heart-attack bc of these two ages ago if he wasn’t already a ghost-type.

This is beautiful. Almost made my cry in the middle of doing a lab report. Learning to love myself is something I’m still working on, it’s a journey I’m glad I started. This encapsulates that journey so well. Amazing work as always Sofie 🥹

I made a short comic set to a favorite quote of mine about anxiety by the author C. Joybell C. way back in 2019. If you like it, check out her Goodreads for more beautiful quotes!

(more under the cut)

I just had to clear all of Aegis Cave without Leo because he hit a pitfall trap at the very start of the ice cave… Clay’s an absolute monster and took out the 4 legendaries without issue, but I felt so bad leaving Leo behind for three entire exploration. The cutscenes felt so weird without him 😢

Tobias sketches.

Sofie I am scared and excited and anxiously anticipating what is to come I hope you’re happy

Just made 40 individual PMD2: Text Post Boogaloo pieces and am holding back the impending tidal wave of posts with a broomstick and prayer.

The queue can only hold them back for so long.

Brace yourselves.

Happy birthday to the Fighter!! 🎉

thank you for reminding me

∞!!!

Yippee!! I’m gonna do two because my 40 hour playlist shuffled two good ones while I was driving home from my friend’s house (and because I want to)

I actually just heard this song for the first time yesterday! It Here’s my favorite lyrics from it:

And my head is underwater

Though I'm six feet under

But I have to Breathe

I have to shout it out

I'll take a seat

Try to figure it out

But its ridiculously draining me

There's something is awaiting me

And I can't seem to grab ahold

Of what it is

This song just makes me feel really happy. I haven’t really talked about it much here but I’m aromantic and asexual, so I’ve never experienced romantic love before. The Reckoning does such a good job portraying the joy that comes with that love for me, so it really hits hard whenever I hear it (Also it very much reminds me of Travail Shipping so it gets bonus points :D). Here’s the lyrics I’d say are my favorites:

Change ain't so sudden

It just hides as it's coming

Is this change or fruition

Of some hope and ambition?

Is this all repercussions?

Was this grown out of something

That we cursed, that we prayed for

That we knew we could wait for?

#11, #18, and #44— or #33 if you don't have a favorite myth for #11 ^^

Ooo, these are good.

#11: Favorite ancient tale/myth?

I took a classical mythology class my freshman year of college and three years of Latin in high school (we did a lot of Roman mythology stuff in there), so I actually have a good bit of material to work with here! I think my favorites are the ones that start to blur the line between history and mythology. The Iliad/Trojan war, for example, is one I like a lot, because it very much feels like an actual event that took place. I find it really interesting to read stories like that where the gods become deeply involved with a seemingly real conflict that should just be an issue among mortals.

#18: Have I ever written a script?

Not anything I'd ACTUALLY consider a script. I guess I've technically written some very short script-like things for some skits/projects in school, but nothing I every put too much work into or would actually consider a script. Almost all of the writing I do is scientific or analytical, but when I do write fictional pieces I'm definitely better at more traditional narrative stuff.

#33: How do I feel about coconut?

I'm not a huge fan of it. I like it mixed into some things like with piña coladas, but besides that I tend to avoid it.

#44: What are some little things that make me happy?

Seeing the incredible art/stories people create here, and how it's able to bring so many people together

The weekly calls I have with my friends who I don't get to see often because we go to different colleges. We've been doing this for a year now, and my best friend and I have been telling the others the stories for OC's we've been writing for almost 10 years now

Looking at all the plushies of Pokemon, Kirby, Ori, and others that I have around my room

Thinking about how far I've come this semester in terms of my mental health

Cuddling with my cats back at home

Simply being in the presence of my close friends, whether we're actually doing anything or not
