The Outsider walks among us, but the Insider shreds
I never read Reader Insert fics (is that what they're called). Just not my thing. But there is one (1) that really captured me. I was refreshing the blog daily to check for updates, that's how much I like it. It's finished now & I am itching to write a snippet from a side character's POV.

aaaaaaaa.

I found a fic that, instead of clearing my skin/watering my crops/etc., has left me with terrible acne, bombed my fields, and trampled all over my heart. The aaangst omg. But it's SO GOOD. 😭

My roommate is singing along to 'Mary on a Cross' & hit the very low note in the chorus flawlessly, and now I have goosebumps 🥹

Science is amazing. Medicine is amazing. The horrors persist but so do we.

Today in 'weird shit I'm googling for fanfiction-writing': popular drinks in urban 1800s Denmark. The document is called "definitely not Frankenstein (2025) fanfic".

The forlorn squeaks you heard were just me, waddling away in my clown shoes.

Solange ihr kein totes Capybara in den Uni-Bus schmuggelt, um es dann illegal zu autopsieren, weil ihr rausfinden wollt, wie es gestorben ist... und damit die ganze Buslinie lahm legt, weil die hinterher gründlich desinfiziert werden muss... @plutodetective.bsky.social
Dinge, die heute auf Arbeit gesagt wurden: "Die tote Antilope passt auf jeden Fall in den Bus."

I see all of y'all calling the Creature Adam, and I respect that very much, but please consider: Deucalion, Prometheus' son.

I've seen it used only once in a fanfic, but it immediately rewired my brain. What a beautiful name!

I checked on my favorite yarn of all time* & saw that the price has gone up again... 🥲

I keep telling myself that one day I'll be able to afford knitting a sweater with it & I sure hope it doesn't get discontinued before then.

I'm watching Frankenstein (2025) interviews & if I drank a shot every time an interviewer calls the Creature 'Frankenstein' I'd be drunk within 5 minutes. Thankfully, Oscar Isaac (icon 🥺) is very good about correcting them. 😂

Yesterday while I was Socializing(TM), I was asked whether I am a midwife, based on my extensive knowledge of pregnancy/childbirth. Ngl it was one of the most flattering moments ever. 🥰

I'm rewatching Frankenstein (2025) and somehow, Victor's abuse is even harder to see the second time. I want to pelt him with rocks. "tHe AcHiEvEmEnT fELt uNnAtUrAL," oh did it??? Oh really??? You poor little mew mew. I'm going to kill him with my bare hands. 😂 (Oscar Isaac is AMAZING.)

I tried to pour my coffee into my hot water bottle. Then I forgot it in the microwave (the coffee). Finally, I almost put sugar (meant for the coffee) into my cereal.

Uhh... brain, are we okay? Are we braining correctly?

I have just spent the past 2 hours:
- learning the backloop cast-on
- making a small swatch to test it
- closing the neckline of my WIP (Moby sweater by petiteknit)
- not realizing I'd created 2 surplus stitches
- frogging the neckline
- re-knitting until just pre-neckline
- akskdshtfwezoooouuuugh

We've landed in São Paulo! I think I put myself into a trance by knitting for the whole flight, I'm super sleepy now. Waiting for our baggage. :D Flying with my girlfriend is super fun, it turns out!!

I've had a whale of a day. 🥲 Probably a painless migraine combined with PMS and post-move exhaustion lmao. My girlfriend is being utterly lovely about the "wasted" day, I hardly know what to do with myself. 🥹💗

Love is when you clog your girlfriend's toilet not once but TWICE and she still adores and wants to sleep with you. 💗 (And no, it wasn't because I forgot about the Brazilian toilet paper thing. 🫣)

I'm having the best time with @plutodetective.bsky.social 🤩😍🥰. There's even a local floofball who's very friendly and soft! The Moby sweater is going suspiciously great. My girlfriend's kink is me getting rest & sleeping well & I feel blessed. 🥹❤️

Plus the food is just as fantastic as last year!

Ratthi only remembered that he was still wearing his interface when SecUnit pinged him. It sent him an image. It was himself from earlier today, seen through its eyes: his hands up, eyebrows up, mouth parted in shock.

I have definitely left way too many things to do on my last weekend before traveling on Monday. See this face? It is the face of regret. 😅🙈

I hope that Konatsu Kato, the Japanese voice of in Silent Hill f, gets the voice acting equivalent of an Oscar. She did an incredible job. 👏👏👏

3rd attempt at this (redacted) gauge swatch, let's gooo 🫡 ✨
I've started knitting swatches for the Moby sweater ( www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... ) & this is gonna be my most ambitious project yet. I'm scared lmao but it's sooo gorgeous & IF I can make it work with my gauge it'll be a lovely addition to my winter wardrobe!

The Moby Sweater is worked from the top down in a texture and cable pattern. First the back yoke is worked and shaped using short rows to form the slope of the shoulders. After this, stitches are pick...

Told my social worker the story of how @plutodetective.bsky.social and I met & fell in love & she 'awww'ed so many times. 😂

I also had to explain what Tumblr is & she said she's never loved a piece of media so much that she went looking for other fans. I nodded politely, but... WHAAAT?

I'm waiting for Secret Purchase #1, just made Secret Purchase #2 in the hopes that it'll arrive in time for my travels. :3 *vibrates quietly*

That was also some retail therapy because I just spent 1h15min filling out forms.
