just stumbled onto a cache of my art from this time last year and holy shit get a load of this wife

After a breakup it's normal to get kinda wistful about the things you always said you'd do but never got around to, but my ex is kind of kooky so one of those things is watching the Mysterion episodes of South Park. Still haven't seen them. When I do, I'll be thinking of her...

constantly thinking shit like "I bring a sort of Sad vibe to the function that People Who Love Me don't really like" and "the Jenny urge to Oh God Please Just Help Me"

FFO: happy hardcore, unhappy post-hardcore, tweets where I overshare about my personal life with an imperceptible veneer of irony

Of course, several women *do* love me. Even my ex! She just doesn't want to hold me anymore. And several of the other women are very, very far away. So sometimes you just have to pretend for a while, and that's fine, and it's only slightly very sad

Incredible news about my personal life, gang: after almost two years as a bachelorette, I've suddenly realised that the back cushions from my sofa are a near-perfect size and squishiness for me to hug them and pretend that a woman loves me again. Only near-perfect, though.

Can't tell if I almost never get myself off because I'm too selfish and lazy to give or because I'm too anxious and self-loathing to receive. This also applies to eating food but from my POV that seems less important somehow

and obviously even as I tweet this I feel the unavoidable urge to say "I do not smell bad btw! in fact I am very sensitive to bad smells and the thought of being associated with them makes me deeply disgusted and upset! just to be clear!!!"

Jenny Briar @jennybriar.bsky.social · 8h

the urge to do a daily task that's bad for my health (and for the environment!) because it's a widespread shibboleth of normality and if you fail to do it people talk about you like you're subhuman >>>

my doctor has firmly told me to shower as little as possible (basically only when I smell) as part of my eczema treatment, which makes total sense - but thankfully for my OCD, this meme is never going to die lmao!!!🤪

not planning on finishing/releasing any of it until Summer 2026 but for my mutuals who prefer emo to hyperpop, here is a tantalising taste of the Sprax Heart LP1 writing sessions

Jenny Briar @jennybriar.bsky.social · 12h

kinda wanna put my EPs on streaming but I'm paranoid about getting dinged for copyright because the samples are so comically unsubtle. might risk it anyway though

walked past a busker passionately singing Redemption Song on a grey chilly day in Middleton and got slightly emotional

"any plans for this month?"
going to a few gigs, small American emo bands—
"midwest emo?"
yeah!
"yeah, you seem the type 😜"

I don't condone how Eustace treated Courage but in my experience getting called "stupid dog" was actually very good for my anxiety

Jenny Briar @jennybriar.bsky.social · 1d

my music doesn't really have a "fanbase" outside of like five friends so it's basically my own brain's fault that I feel like my "signature song" is the lilting waltz about wanting to hug an anime boy spraxheart.bandcamp.com/track/beauti...
