The former might be very vague for now!

I've had some shoulder/neck pain coupled with work-related stress (again! some more!!) that's just left me with tension headaches pretty much every day this week, so I'm still on the hella sluggish side.

I like most of the prompts! I need to go through and figure out specifics for what I'm most interested in! I am not sure whether I have activity or not atm, but I feel like i probably don't!

One more comment on Jean's TDM and you've got at least 1/2!

the housewarming one should be easy to get there too! o\ team Summer Table!

Ooh, yes. That's right! I forgot TDMs count, and... I forgot about the housewarming altogether. I'm am very mentally there, haha.

But that's good, thank you!

I might put more work complaining in my void-scream-PP later, but for now...

Aphro's fog's good for facilitating potential new things/awkward things!

aphro with velma maybe? just give a little nudge

Teen and/or pre-X-Men Kurt could be fun, if it was mentally, as well, but I'm not under the impression that that's the case. Plus idk if anybody CR-wise is into that degree of age gap. Without memory fuckery, there's not much to do here with him. He's already Not Aging Right.

Schist ooh, yes.

come here, nerdy orange girl, he'll treat you right!

Monster stuff's got potential because he had his little Monster Arc recently and it would Upset Him. It wasn't a very fun monster design! Horns were cool. Most of the rest was just... bigger fangs, spikes. I'd probably fiddle with the design if I got into this, haha.

monster arc things...

Messing up his "just a little guy" status!

Oh! Right! (It's me actually opening the post to read what's available.) The body swap could be fun if anyone wants to be a fuzzy blue guy for a little bit!

And truth's fine, he'll hear it.

nerdy orange girl is very curious about the tail

god it'd be cool to do age things with both rogue and kurt as teens except for the smut part haha

if I can help or offer things with Elle and halsin I'm happy to!

rowena for some monster fuck maybe?

Schist I finally checked the questions/answers and it is only physical, so I can't even "it'd be fucked up but they wouldn't know??" Haha. Yeah, without the memory fuckery, it's not a very useful prompt for him!

casualbongos :V Ooh, I'll try to dig around tomorrow/Saturday to see what kinda open-ish things would suit! It might be as generic as just aphro stuff, but I would like threads with either/both!

skitties She's a good candidate for it!

she is

absolutely

i can offer trauma with like... nightmarish fog things for rogue

skitties he's not a hell thing, he swears!

Schist I saw you bring up "so who wants to be mystique?" and I think we can get cooking with gas there!

she believes him! she's into it anyway

this will end so well

the wild thought of them both... thinking the other

is mystique

and genuinely don't know it's each other

can we start the self fulfilling rumor that mystique is actually in the City

It can drag on, too, cause even seeing someone else does not exclude them being Mystique.

lmao god just the suspicion that mystique might be around

this could be anyone

i shouldn't be laughing as hard as i am at the idea

good thing we have a jean grey i guess to sort things out

only if she finds out

it's like playing among us in all of Dup

Good morning!!! I hope your work and body shit starts doing better! Also I want things with them

I need to make a to-do list or something! I am catch up with tags and likely dropping a few more things in favor of getting new things rolling. I'm doing movie night later with Marcus, so idk if I'll be back after dinner.

So new starters will HOPEFULLY be over the next couple days if work doesn't completely implode me.

I keep figuring, like, "This is the point at which I will recover a little energy for hobbies," and it doesn't turn out that way. But I do wanna do my little hobbies!!

Anyway, now work's talking about the possibility of laying people off, maybe EXCEPT for me because my skill range is the widest (though I'm also not surprised if my salary's the lowest 'cause I'm the newest), but I am maybe finally in a "fuck it" place.

I just don't know if it makes much a difference at this rate, keeping my job or losing it. I have some fears about keeping it, because I doubt their ability to pay me on time even after that (my current paycheck is late again) and I'm not confident about reasonable time/responsibility ratios. But I guess it's worth a shot if that's what they decide.

They can lay me off if what I'm able to deliver within my 40 hours ain't enough. And then I can do unemployment and figure out what's next.

skitties !!

All of that's to say... Thanks for bearing with me! I'm excited to get to things! I may still be slow for a while, picking at things as I'm able, measuring what I can handle, etc. I feel like I've been really unreliable lately, but I 1) probably being hard on myself and 2) it's literally a game.

I realize, I mean.

I did 1/8th a gummy (having to cut them into smaller and smaller pieces because sometimes a quarter is fine and sometimes it fucks me up), and I am trying to chill.

give yourself more grace

it's a game/hobby

and RL > RP

I'm sure I speak for a lot of folks saying that we're here whenever you're feeling up for writing.

To take care of yourself first. <3

I kept forgetting to come back to this plurk to say THANK YOU for the kind words. Having the reasonable standard reiterated is a good thing to hear sometimes!

It's super helpful, the reminder. I also need it sometimes.
