It's one thing to end up lost in a tundra with the temperatures plummeting and limited shelter on hand. That is something Wild and Twilight have handled before with ease.

Now they're stuck in a race against time to either outrun their pursuer or be consumed by the endless cold.

People talk a lot about wanting a prequel book on Finnick or Johanna but ngl. I want a first quarter quell prequel book. The year districts had to vote for their own tributes. Setting it between the story of Snow and Haymitch, exploring the increase of propaganda and oppression and changes to the games and the districts.
Down weeks are hard. I'd like to say I'm getting better at managing them, but really I'm just jumping from validation point to validation point, hoping something sticks.
My brain moves too fast. Every time I try to talk myself out of a spiral, it talks itself right back in it. Im tired. I wanted things to be better now that my life has straightened out again and I've carved out a little place where I belong, but I hate all the ways this changed me.
I feel like everything now is a constant game of earning. Whatever I put out earns me the response I get. If I'm good enough or I do good enough or write good enough, then that's the ticket. Everything works out and it feels like I've done enough. But I'm never "good enough". I keep trying and trying to reach that ledge, whatever it is, but it always feels like I've fallen short. What a strange way to allow my perfectionism and RSD to mix. It takes so much fun out of doing this sometimes.
I find myself asking what's wrong with me, what didn't I do? What made me not worth it? The answer is there's nothing wrong with me, I know this objectively. But when you keep trying and trying and trying bc maybe one day the energy will be reciprocated without question, it does stuff to your head. I really hoped that I'd write something those friends would care enough about to give back the same energy I gave them. I was never good enough.
It does something to you, that loop. It hurts. It makes you ask why aren't I worth the effort? The time?
Why am I never enough? I used to get told I was, that I was someone they cared about a lot, but that was never what I read in their actions. Their absences.
I know I'm finally on the path to one day leaving this behind me. One day, I will do what I used to and be disheartened bc maybe fandom trends aren't aligning with what I want at the moment. The pain will be brief but it won't drown me bc it won't feel like I've failed to reach a standard I'm held too unconsciously, a standard no one ever told me the definition of.
Maybe when I finally get there, it will make the few days after posting more fun. Less tears and destructive attempts for self-improvement. But just bc I'm on this although now doesn't mean I don't have a long, long way to go until I get there.

ok made a little cleaner version of my apocalypse au wild, though i know his designs probabky never going to be finalized. And after some discussion with discord friends, he also got some new changes. new arm new wild, as they say. i know im absolute ass with picking colors (i blame it on one piece) so hes just original wild colors thrown into modern zombie wild.
iβll make proper tags for my aus as well once this is posted so i can sort them on my profile. at least i hope thats how the tags work
