i am definitely vintage. i FEEL like i'm vintage 😭

i'm still grappling with the fact that i am going to be halfway through my 30s next year. it does not feel as if it's been that long. & yet, here i am... nearly 35 anyway 😭
i didn't ask for this 😭😭

i am loathe to the the barer of bad news, but if the 60s were vintage in the 90s, the 90s are vintage now. thus is the cycle of time, as it marches on unimpeded 😔

well, it's been 10yrs since the 90s entered that category (iirc, it's actually been 15), so that sounds correct to me! the 2010s are next :P

LIKE IT'S DIFFERENT IF I WANNA DOODLE SOMEONE ELSE'S OC BC THEY'RE COOL. MINMIN IS NOT COOL. *I* AM NOT COOL. WE'RE NOT COOL???? WE'RE THIRTY-FIVE. I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S THE ANTITHESIS OF COOL.

me when i see my nerd in the wild, though:

convo was:
"why not just ask a friend to draw an icon for you?"
"because i'd like to pay for that work instead."
"?????????? but they're your friend"

BEING FRIENDS DOES NOT FREE ARTIST WORK MAKE, THOUGH.

the more i consider how she'd have to deal with her ties (WHICH SHE HERSELF CANNOT EVEN TIE, BY THE WAY), the more i realize there's a reason why she'd abandon her uniforms at the earliest allowance. i promise you the void hates ties. working for purple man must be suffering

my brain immediately processed "yesod super cute... fuck... crying" & yeah that's correct

laughing at this bc i'm 100% sure if you replaced "draw" with "write" you can easily piece together a Min Thought(tm) (everyone can easily extrapolate from there, i'm sure)

happy thanksgiving, to any & all who celebrate it today! i hope you eat well, have fun, & travel safe! 🙂

"every time you freehand a recipe from scratch & it comes out well, i remember you & your grandmother celebrating together & that brings me so much joy."

...i know she does every little celebratory dance with me. i *know* it. thanks for being patient with me learning, MinGran. 🥹
