• general mood ⟡ despite how busy busy work was, i'm surprised how much time i've had for my interests and other social things!! the tamafixation continues, but less rabid after i got my Ps. i got an entama too!! more socialization than usual as well... huh!!
• fav media ⟡ pinkpanthress's remix album (fancy some more) is stuck in my head and got me through a shitty day and commute so that's one of my highlights for october!! umm starting to get into umamusume too thanks to my partner, and cinderella gray s1 was fun!! oguriiiiii...
• highlights ⟡ blocktales with my bunny ♡, TAMAGO...

🍎 some context. a while back, i would struggle very hard with expressing what i like and didn't like..!! i wasn't sure what counted as an interest of mine, and i struggled with identity formation and all that fun stuff!! since 2023, i've tried to better organize my thoughts on things (i forget a lot too), so i thought really hard about my personal tastes... what i considered good or bad . and so i made my personal rating system!! it best expresses how i feel about things, i'd like to think!! and it shows me the works that are more memorable to me than others :)

🍏 these are all extremely subjective. based on a five star rating; each half is a point out of ten!! this scale pretty much applies to any medium!!

💌 some zines i like!

• my first zine, author unknown
  • what makes a writer? is it popularity or publication? can you really call yourself a writer even if you aren't perfect at it? maybe there's success in the act of having just one person value your work: yourself or otherwise.
  • "i quit waiting for my words to be good enough. (...) i quit believing that my voice doesn't matter. i quit being motivated by pride or fear."
• blister vol. 1 - "birthday edition", c. paige
