The D stands for Disappointment
@jenaciousd.bsky.social
Midlife crisis, hyperfixations, cats, watercolours. Chronic fatigue and depression / anxiety. I need a nice cup of tea and a hug. PhD student in microfluidics with the OU.
Oof, I’m really sorry. My relationship with my own father was ~complicated~ and it’s still a horrible thing to go through. Grief is weird and awful, even when it isn’t.

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut.

No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

Lovely person! Even if he does the sort of maths I can’t 😂

(sincere moment) If there’s anything I can take off your plate and get done for you, lmk. I mean it.

(back to regular awfulposting) Have some silly shit to take your mind off things

I’m so happy they’re working for you! I desperately want to try Elvanse cos the best I get from methylphenidate is finding it marginally easier to return to something after getting distracted. Starting things is just as hard as ever.

Tbf, I’ll watch the new one because of the chance they’ll undo what they did to Cap with the IW mess, but I’m more suspicious than excited.

I don’t consider myself either a moviegoer or a cinephile, really, but I fall hard for *characters* and the MCU both tried to make me care about too many of them, and rewrote them into people I didn’t recognise. Take away what I love from a series, and it makes me sad and uninterested.

I adored the early MCU, to the point I knitted an entire Cap cosplay (including the shield). I loved the anticipation and the teasers. Then Infinity War threw out all the characterisation and made much of Agent Carter never have happened, and I lost interest in it all. (except Bucky).

I think he’s calling himself out with this one, tbf

I have not. I guess I should.

M/M romance: dudes developing emotional intelligence! Sharing chores! Talking about stuff and not yelling/going silent! Phwoar 😁

F/F romance: stereotypically attractive skinny young women w kids. Snore.

Gimme a menopausal, childfree, female disaster as love interest and I might reconsider.

I don’t want to jump into a total stranger’s mentions so you (and almost stranger) get it instead. Sorry.

Most of my reading has been fanfic and Mercedes Lackey, so that obviously affects the feelings I have. Add in my own body image shite and that’s most of the reason I dislike het or f/f romance.
