#blog notes

Yesterday was #ExistransInter, and before that it was #ComingOut day, so here's my contribution via a (short) personal response to the anti-trans people and speeches I started in June on the occasion of the law against trans minors.

And today is also my 40th birthday, so it's time to take stock of my life.

Hier c'était l'#ExistransInter, et avant cela c'était la journée du #ComingOut, du coup voici ma contribution via une (courte) réponse personnelle aux personnes et discours anti-trans que j'avais commencé a faire en juin a l'occasion de la loi contre les mineurs trans.

Some other team put tumblr on their list and the quizmaster made fun of them for it and said, "wasn't it fun before tumblr died" and I said to my team, "yeah I'm not even a daily active user there anymore" and one friend audibly gasped because I've been tumblr girl to them for well over a decade.

So yeah, I guess this is my way of telling y'all I'm not tumblr girl anymore. As I've gotten my AuDHD assessment, I've uncovered some really unhealthy stuff I was doing and reducing phone time/news consumption has been critical for me.

For almost 2 months, I've took my "screen time" on this app from 4 hours a day to ~0 simply by deleting the app and only using desktop. It's meant I basically went from "always on" to checking like 1-3 times a week to see what's in my activity. I'm at a place where I don't really look at my dash anymore. Maybe like 15 mins a week? It wasn't even a process of like weaning myself more and more. I just kinda cold turkey-ed it w/ the app deleting. I was at what I'd say was a very unhealthy level of use (I got a reality check by starting to track screen time.)

Deleting this app didn't result in me shifting my phone time elsewhere, too. It basically means I went from like 6 hours phone time a day on average to 2. My partner of 22 years almost cried tears of joy when I told him I had done this. I was about 3 weeks in before I revealed it and he was like "OH MY GOD THAT'S WHAT HAS BEEN DIFFERENT" because that man has said more times that I can count how much he wished I wasn't on my phone so much missing out on stuff he's saying to me or life that's happening around me.

I love tumblr. Always will, it's change my life in infinite ways (just 1 relevant example: would I have known to go get an AuDHD assessment w/o it? FUCK NO) but I've just had to change my relationship w/ it for my own well being. Figured I may as well let y'all know that's what's up for me lately.

Anyway, welcome to my new blog!! I will be posting both the arts from my twitter (mostly phonedoodles) and then maybe a bunch of random observations and musings about Usagi Chronicles in general. Maybe some SRTUC and ROTTMNT reblogs too, if I'm feeling like it. Haven't used tumblr that much in the past 2 years so some things I might have to re-aquaint myself with (like posting art. they changed something about that a year or more ago)

Here is my flipnote Usagi gif from october last year! idk if the gif works but he should be blinking and smiling here lol. If not, well, maybe it'll work another time! Here's to a new year for more Usagi doodles!

Hello 👋🏻 everyone!

I know it's been a hot minute since I've been active on this account. There has just been a lot going on.

The first thing is that I started my first semester of college this August and I have been so caught up in that.

The second thing is probably a lack of motivation? I started Cloaked in Green and this account in June of 2021 and it's now almost 2023 (☠️). My writing style has changed and is the story doesn't flow as well as I intended.

That being said I do plan on continuing this series, however I will be reuploading each chapter onto A03. Edited and revised. I will upload the links onto the corresponding posts here, but the previous chapter on a03 will be different, with scenes missing or added. It will be open for people/guest that don't have accounts to be able to read and leave comments, so there is no excuses for anyone not to be able to reread and understand the plot-line/story going forward.

I have so much planned for Aranea and the dwarves, and the FELLOWSHIP! I am planning on writing into Lord of the rings.

Reclaimed in Black will be posted after Cloaked in Green ends. As I have said earlier Cloaked in Green is a sort of fix-it fic, and will go away from canon; regarding character(s) deaths. The same applies to Reclaimed in Black.

I hope to see some of the same readers as I finish and go onto this next project and like always I hope your have a wonderful day! ❤️
