Hello. I thought I'd be back already but this year continues to be the hardest physically and mentally for me and I'm frustrated as I've so many stories I want to tell but I'm just exhausted and burnt through all the time. But I miss you all very very much.

Two months ago or so, bought new stamps so I could send people letters because that's fun to get, and that included some cent-based stamps to use up old stamps I had. Between then now and now, USPS raised postage rates so I need more cent-based stamps to use the stamps I bought. 🤦‍♀️

Niche but please enjoy this hilarious button. You might say "collection" being there twice in a row is the best part, but it also says "the" twice in a row. The small joys keep the Internet fun.

I need you all to know how much I keep laughing at www.instagram.com/p/DNVozjMNKV5/ , I cannot get it out of my head, I love singing it to myself, I've done it like 3 dozen times since last night already, I am obsessed and it's so good and this is my song of the summer now.

Watched the NatGeo documentary "Sally" and I loved it. I love space documentaries and I'm too young to have learned a lot about Sally Ride growing up but I am now old enough to understand how the world has forced queer people to hide and this was just… so good. Highly recommend.

I'm still alive. Life has just been so rough the last few months and I'm hopeful it'll get better. I'm starting to have the itch to write again but I don't have the energy to so instead I'm rereading fics I love and trying to be gentle with the time it takes to find stability again.

Do you think Keith's father was ever in a sexy firefighter calendar? What month do you think he was? I'd like to think he had such a beautiful smile that drove people wild, he got to be a summer month.

I've a friend visiting so we watched S1 of Arcane and I have just to report back that you all knew when big, broad, and daddy with the strong morals walked up that I was going to be all in even knowing he would inevitably be done in, because I have A Type. Will report back when I watch S2.

Hello I'm still here, I just have a lot going on right now in my life and my mental health has been a rollercoaster. I am on the up ever so slightly now and I miss you all and have been thinking up lots more story ideas, so thank you for your patience while I take time for me.

I had a good evening 🎉 so I watched the new MAPPA #roseofversailles film on Netflix. NOW if you are familiar with it, it's a quick, fun romp that requires you know the story. If you're not, it won't make sense — but I adore Rose of Versailles so want to highly recommend it for a number of reasons.

The soul crushing weight of searching for a job this year is so much worse than ever before. It's taking a lot from me so I don't have it in me to write stories and even the idea of streaming which I was excited for feels exhausting. I'm trying to take it a step at a time but it's hard.

I've been in a really bad place again, thank you severe depression and whatever friends you've collected, but this #neopets user just made me smile so I had to share. Whoever you are, wherever you are, I hope you're having a good day.

Nothing like making a grocery store order while depressed af. I did get ingredients to make a meal myself in the pressure cooker, but I also got three distinct forms of mac and cheese. Don't worry though, it's a surprise to myself tomorrow which saves me money and means I'll forget it's coming.

My depression hasn't been as bad but I'm still overwhelmed by the world and feel like a failure most of the time. However today my psych and I played Twenty Questions and I, a grown adult in my 30s, fucking crushed it so maybe I just need to be back in first grade where I can dominate Idk.

This one goes out to all my "pleasure to have in class" "never acts out" children who grew up to be burnt out adults desperately wanting to know what's wrong with them. I just finished my psych eval early and thought "I'm getting an A+."

Warm weather has me already most of the way through the next #sheithtomfoolery chapter, this one fueled by listening to Frostyn/The Excellent Man from Minneapolis because if you're not watching Any Austin on YouTube, you are truly missing out on some high quality content. www.youtube.com/@any_austin

Ok I can't stop thinking of #vld Vol 2 now that I've read this too and here's what stood out to me which S6 also has a bit of that I adore and I want to know if that's just me or if others also get it: Pidge cataloged everyone's weakness and though they struggle, they've figured out Shiro's too.

As you can probably all guess, the weather tanked again and took my mental health with it, so now that it's maybe getting better again and I swear if I'm being punked again I'm going to cry, now that it's maybe getting better again I will be able to write again! Huzzah!

Ok so I've never read the #vld graphic novel content as I'm bad at allowing myself to buy things, but a friend's friend just leant me Vol 1 + 2 and I'm so giddy! I need to get all of them now if only to have more content for fics.

Nice mid day spiral, it's days like today that make me wish I had a setup so I could just stream to cheer myself up and distract myself and maybe have some company. I'm almost there but life is getting in the way.

I rarely allow myself to buy things for me, so the fact that now I've received both a Shiro and Keith figures from friends makes me so happy! Also have a number of friends now watching #vld because they know I love it and that makes me so happy as then we can discuss it and by it I mean Shiro lol.

Tried to go to the pharmacy to get cold medicine only to find no elevator has power? I'm fine, I have power, but I am… rather trapped now. I guess it'll give me time to organize my illness cart? For any of my chronically ill hotties who don't have one, highly recommend treating yourself to one!

Was so happy with the warm weather yesterday that I got to start writing #sheithtomfoolery which I'm letting guide me instead of the other way around, but today I woke up ready for more and it's cold! Spring is such a bait and switch, this is why hot girls like autumn.

Y'all, new profile picture: good? Enough Shiro still visible? I spent a comical amount of time making the heart frame but I think it was worth it.

I know I promised #sheithtomfoolery would be next but… had an idea last night for something so sweet it'll hurt your teeth that I think I can finish today… 🤫🤐🙂👓🤏🤓🥸🫥

Follow me on twitch.tv/coeurgiestre... so you can join the checkpoint's first stream when it happens! I'm delayed by being sick (womp womp) but I'm so excited to spend time with y'all there. New to Twitch? I'm happy to answer any questions you have. 🤍🤍🤍

I think about often a tweet I saw that was like you can tell a lot about a person by if their profile picture is Shiro or Keith, and I think about that every time I interact with y'all with your Keith pictures while I'm over here with my Shiro picture. Top or bottom: out, Shiro or Keith: in.

This week I won't have time to write (birthday week!) BUT we can start working together on #sheithtomfoolery , which is what I'm calling the #sheith fic I want to write with y'all's help. The first three chapters are drafted but I still want to make sure I hit the points you guys love (more below):

OMG IT'S ARIES SEASONS BBY LET'S GO! ♈️🐏🔥🎉 Happy Aries season and birthday to all my fellow Aries, especially @lionescence.bsky.social . May this next year of life be better than the last one. 🤍🤍🤍

Next #sheith fic is almost done but I've been listening to The Tortured Poets Department album over and over so am currently singing that instead of writing the last scene, so if you want something to listen to before that comes out… I think Fornight and So Long, London are the best to prepare you.

Now available: I made a silly little website. It reminded me of how while I can theoretically do frontend work, I am a backend girlie, which… sounds sexual here but I mean it in the tech way — we can discuss this another time if anyone cares, lol. Look! coeurgie.neocities.org

Follow me on www.twitch.tv/coeurgiestre... to join me there when I do my first stream! You'll can get to learn what accent you should be reading my writing in. It'll be a cozy, fun time where you can lurk or interact or experience Twitch for the first time in a safe place. 🤍🤍🤍

Desperately waiting for warm weather so I can spend my morning sat outside writing stories because I have ideas percolating, @howlsslime.bsky.social I finally know what to write for your idea and I'm excited to get to it, plus the #sheith story we'll all work on together, chapter one is planned.

Never thought I'd say this but I miss when Pinterest was trying to sell me really low quality items instead of what Pinterest is doing now which is showing me low quality AI images for ??? no idea the reason. I really want a replacement for it but haven't found one that fits my needs yet.

Thought: I've a new #sheith fic idea set during like S1+2 I've been bouncing around, but it's not fully formed. But I'm contemplating posting each little vignette as a chapter, and y'all can help me decide the next chapter, so we like build it up together. Would y'all be down? Would you like that?

I'm doing a lot of research into something that will be a quick throw away line in a #sheith fic because we all know what I'm like, but I just discovered Scorpios, which is what Keith is, are associated with the colors dark red and black. Also Scorpios are water signs likes Pisces. TIL.

So glad I've insurance so that they can just make up however much the medications I need to live cost. Will it be free today? Will it be $150? (It should be $10, btw. It's supposed to always be $10.) Depends on what the random number generator decides!

Why did no one tell me OBS is actually kind of fun? I've been messing around in it and even ignored eating my seolleongtang because I was in a groove — and I love seolleongtang, that's peak soup. Streaming still incoming to see if I and y'all like it or not, as I've just been such a funk.

Often times of late, I watch this and cry. So sharing if you need to watch this and cry as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8xc...
