my friends: oh awesome, can i read some of it?

me, knowing damn well my wip is literally just a random collection of mood boards, dialogue snippets, and playlists:

If you can’t afford or access any of Marie Kondo’s official works I heavily recommend this hour talk Marie Kondo did that covered her philosphies.

The most important thing Marie Kondo’s work has taught me is to trust myself and what I want. Before reading her book or watching her show I found it INCREDIBLY difficult to trust my own instincts or understand what I truly wanted from myself because I was so worried about what others thought or outside factors.

But going through and honing my “Spark Joy” ability through organising my stuff really taught me how to identify my own feelings of what I wanted and to take ownership of my own actions. At my core I am a very sentimental and emotional person who wants to puts everyone else’s needs ahead of mine and that extends to objects. She emphasizes knowing what you truly need in life, and being able to approach even the most essential items with love and care and gratitude.

I’m still an incredibly sentimental and emotional person, but knowing what truly sparks joy to me has made it a lot easier to let go of situations and items I might have held onto and really changed how I approached everything in my life. Marie Kondo’s work has taught me to center myself and my needs in a way that valued the emotionality of an otherwise rational and cold logic topic like organisation.

“And we loved it, we were all having a great time, but then he saw my sister and I, and he just got this - this look in his eyes, and then-”

She hesitated, worrying the coarse material between her fingers. “Things got pretty bad after that,” she muttered. “I know it’s silly, but I try to keep - her - comfortable. We don’t know if she can still hear us, or see us, or if she’s even still in here, but I like to think she is. I talk to her when I can, I leave music on when I’m out of the house. I tried to convince my parents to bring her with us when we went to Disneyland, but they didn’t - didn’t really take that well.”

One of the most memorable scenes in the movie is when he’s IN the Petrova Line, and he’s having a moment. Because it’s beautiful. It’s destroying galaxies, uncountable lives, but it’s still beautiful.

FINAL — Match 1 of 1

Nimona (Nimona)

Identity: Genderfluid, implied Notes: When Ballister calls her a boy, she responds with “I am today.” When she’s referred to as a girl, she says, “I’m not a girl. I’m a shark.” Described as her gender not being fixed by ND Stevenson. Propaganda: N/A

vs. Murderbot (The Murderbot Diaries)

Identity: Asexual and Agender, explicit Notes: Directly identifies as genderless and uninterested in sex in-text, later reaffirmed by Martha Wells. Propaganda: "MURDERBOT MY FAVORITE PROTAGONIST POSSIBLY EVER. A "construct" of mixed human/robot parts, it is a snarky anxious loyal bitter mess of a person who is still kind of grappling with the idea that it IS a person and what that actually means for itself and its place in the world. Aroace feelings more relateable than most characters "deliberately" written to be aroace imo, it resonates with me intensely. Partially because it's just, a really good character with a really strong character voice. I have read these books probably more times than any other books because I'm like I want to hang out with Murderbot my friend Murderbot"
