Youtube Music is actually a really good music streaming service for many things, but it is a PLIGHT when it comes to Chinese music. I'm trying to build the playlist of my favourite songs from the last decade so that it's not only in my phone library, and finding the songs is torturous.

You know what, I think The Amazing Devil is the best band on the entire planet.

I am a firm believer that Sanji and Baby 5 having a conversation would lead to them exploding.

Bilingualism is a bit scary sometimes, because I just had to read a sentence twice before realizing in which language it was.

Over the Top might be the catchiest song of the One Piece openings. (That I’ve listened to, so 1-23.) It’s been stuck in my head for days. Super Powers isn’t far behind. I wish Kokoro no Chizu stayed, it’s one of my favourites.

It’s nice to have an ex-nurse friend when I have medical questions for my fic and can’t find the answers on google 😌

I JUST GOT A PERMANENT POSITION AT MY JOB!!! no more hoping for contract renewals or looking for a new job every couple years I’m freeeeeee

Did iQIYI really think they could just lie like that and nobody would notice? The hubris of corporations…

I need fic writers to understand that by italicizing words in every sentence, the italics lose their meaning. The more you utilize a literary device, the less power it has.

Today’s walk I legit began to cry on the bridge. My personal hell that has been this 6 month-long winter is finally over. I can see the colour green outside again.

I really wish I wasn’t the only person with a fucking backbone in this apartment building, because why is it always my job to ask people to quiet down when they’re throwing parties in the middle of the night? The walls are not soundproof whatsoever, I know everybody else is hearing that shit.

I realized I was easily far enough into the manga to watch opening 23, and... I still don't get how people can watch the Wano arc without getting migraines. The opening was 2 minutes long. I have a headache.

I’m turning 30 in two weeks oh boy

Me: *mutes another student in my zoom class because she hasn’t said a single pertinent thing in the two semesters I’ve had with her* Zoom: Your volume is too low! You should increase it 🙂

wooo round numbers!

There’s the most glorious fog outside but I’m stuck inside with my adult responsibilities 😭

If you know about it then it knows about you. If you can see it then it can see you. And it’s too late. – I’m having the best time right now being frightened as hell while reading this book, it’s so good.

I hate it when I have a Chinese song stuck in my head but can’t remember what it is because, like, how am I supposed to find it? It’s not like I can search the lyrics.

I don’t think I like the new 007 theme song by Lana Del Rey and David Arnold. Yes it’s Lana’s voice, and she’s credited in the production, but this overwhelmingly sounds like a David Arnold piece.

My work twin just quit—we got hired at the same time. On one hand I’m sad to lose her as she’s a lot of fun to be around, but on the other hand that almost guarantees me that my own contract will be renewed. It’s bittersweet.

I'm finally allowed to work from home as much as I want, but my workplace serves tandoori for lunch tomorrow. I'm not kidding when I say that I've been debating with myself for a good two hours over going to work tomorrow for this reason alone.

I genuinely think the reason I’m taking so much time to get through Wano is because I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to reach chapter 1081.

I slept from 4:30 pm to 4:15 am… clearly I needed the rest.

Every two years, the building’s smoke detector has this issue where it just blares the alarm for a few seconds at full volume for no reason. Woke me up twice tonight, and I was able to go back to sleep the first time, but now I think I’m doomed for the rest of the night.

I'm rewatching bits of WCI right now and I finally just understood why I don't particularly care for Carrot and don't want her in the crew: her personality doesn't bring anything new to the table. She's naive, sensitive, sweet and a glutton. That's basically just Chopper with bits of Luffy.

Not me realizing there was a mistake in the synopsis of my fic more than a year in. 🫣 It’s fixed now. Like yes, English is not my first language, but my job is literally to be bilingual so I do not accept that as an excuse for myself. Bad Annie.

IG ad for a book was like: “Enemies to lovers! Captor x captive! Dark romance!” The way this could literally not be more unappealing to me.

My favourite fics are extremely long and well written character-centric AUs that actually dare to try something different (think We Rotten Few), but because those are so hard to write I’m actually running out of them in the One Piece tag :(

Ugh I wish people tagged their OC/reader/self-insert fics properly on AO3. I’ll exclude like 20 different tags and still get shown those as results because people can’t tag for shit.

Busy day at work today and I have exactly 35 minutes of sleep in me, let’s goooooo

Murderous rage.

My insomnia usually has a reason for being, which means I can usually prevent it by taking a sleeping pill in advance. Tonight it just crept up on me for no reason at all, so now I’m still wide awake even though I gotta get up for work in two hours. Yay.

“X character is so underrated” and it’s one of the most beloved characters in the entire series

Every time I wake up to freshly fallen snow in April I feel murderous rage.

Chapter 14 is up, and with this one we just passed the 40K mark! 🎉 #lawsan

I honestly don’t get people who go to lots of concerts because every single time I learn that an artist I like is going to have a show near me and check the price, I immediately close the tab after seeing that it costs hundreds of dollars.

What do you mean in order to post my chapter I need to finish writing it

This is the current state of my main bookshelf (I have seven but shhh). I’m thinking about maybe picking up a classic next, but I’m undecided.

I finished two books yesterday so I get to start a new one today 😁 I have so many unread books at home, I feel like a kid in a candy store.

Waiting for the weather to stop being a bitch so that I can be reunited with my balcony reading time after six long months of being stuck inside

Why are Americans talking about 2028 democratic candidates as if there’s any chance unrigged elections are going to happen.

Winter, on April 1st: What if instead of less snow, there was… more? Me: How about you don’t do that. Winter: Too late.

I listened to the same song for 4 hours today, and it would have been more if my coworker hadn't been sharing my office. (click clack symphony by raye and hans zimmer)

You know, I’m not a separatist, but it’s hard to blame my fellow Quebecers who are when I look at all the hatred and vitriol that gets brought up against us every time Quebec is mentioned in anglo Canada news.

I swear if the fucking snow doesn't start melting on its own soon I'm going outside with a flamethrower.

I ordered my playlist of the 95 tracks of the OPLA S2 soundtrack in chronological order, although it's not always that linear. Smoker's theme, for example, is a mix of his introduction scene and his later fight against Luffy. But I tried my best.

I honestly think I might have endo. But getting a diagnosis is a well-documented hellscape, I never intend to get pregnant and I have a high pain tolerance according to several medical professionals, so I’m probably just going to keep enduring it.

Alright, I'm choosing violence. Zoro is incredibly boring and has no more than a couple character traits. Remove fighting from the picture and he cannot carry a storyline. The other Straw Hats can all have stories that are not about their main function in the crew. But Zoro is empty without his.

One day I'll write my Zoro rant, but I'm not particularly in the mood to get yelled at by his fans today.
