a quiet circle
Jan. 29th, 2026 12:30 pmseraphikissi subscribed to a handful of folks who share similar interests as me, or have journals that i'm curious about and enjoy reading through. sometimes i feel like an awkward cat sitting outside of a restaurant window expecting someone to notice. i think i'm nervous about following people nowadays because of the whole "DNI culture" surrounding it.
it's like, i don't understand them. isn't blocking a better way of saying "do not interact"? if i follow someone, and they don't want me around or don't like my face, they can block me. sure, it might sting as someone with anxiety, but at the end of the day they're just curating their space and peace of mind.
( ship discourse cw )
this post isn't meant to be about ship discourse, but it's more about... wanting to find friends who get me. i don't have very many people that i call "friends" because... well... the last group of people i considered "friends" were sadistic.
so now i'm pretty anxious, private, and especially cautious and vigilant as to who i include in my bubble, hence why my discord server is strictly invite-only and private.
anyway, the main point is, my reading page is quiet, so i wanted to kind of fill that void in with subscribing. if you don't want me to subscribe to you, you can either let me know, or ban me from your journal. it might sting for a bit, but at the end of the day, you need to uphold your own peace.
i also make sure to mark certain entries as "do not show on reading pages", especially more heavy and personal ones. this one i think isn't too personal.

hetalia...
Jan. 29th, 2026 11:30 amseraphikisshetalia was a fandom that traumatized me.
horribly.
but you know what?
FUCK IT! I WANT NORDIC CONTENT, AND I WANT TO WRITE ABOUT MY ESTONIA OC! (for context, my estonia OC was originally a heavily personal interpretation of himaruya's estonia, but he turned into an OC.)
i subscribed to a few journals because i thought they were interesting. i'm not sure how subscribing etiquette works here yet despite using this site for a while now. i get kind of shy subscribing because i always worry about some "DNI" list that i missed out on. (despite "DNIs" being redundant and blocking is a more helpful option to keep people you don't want interacting away.)
anyway, i miss hetalia. i actually talked to my partner about it briefly, and i just miss the old days. writing all kinds of fantasy AUs and shipping USUK and all kinds of stuff. hetalia way back in the days of wattpad and amino were... horrible, to say the least. i don't even perceive tumblr, i just reblog stuff there lol.
and i deleted/abandoned all of my social media accounts.
so! with that said, who knows. i might work on a hetalia fic one of these days. i co-wrote one with an old friend back in the day, and i really miss it. i'll try to remove the painful memories by creating new ones, with new friends (hopefully) and new ideas.
i have my own gijinka series, "meie maakera", which focuses pretty heavily on my estonia OC as well as all of my estonian gijinkas, including lake spirits and the archipelago. i have other gijinkas, like latvia and romania, but i focus more on estonia as it is my special interest since 2011/2012.
anyway... hopefully i'll be okay. i want to get back into the old things that i loved, but have been scared out of. i don't want to let old memories and awful people ruin my old-time love. i hardcore shipped myself with türkiye back in the day too lol.

Back to work tomorrow
Jan. 28th, 2026 10:49 pmcornerofmadnessSo I did try to get out of here. My hill is an ice floe but I got up there and the main highway is fine. BUT both counties are still on level 2 snow emergencies. Students are whining about it. I point to Canvas where I left them a message saying if you don't feel safe don't come. I'll put up a recording and you go suffer through that.
Rocket is being the best boy, finally using the damn litter box. Guess it got too cold to go pee outside. (He has only used that box a handful of times in 4 years. Today he walked in and did his business while I'm there like a good boy. He still wants out mind you but then he gets over it.
Another day of failing to clean (I have no energy today) but I made an eye appt, paid my membership dues for my pro organization, bought the work con and the hotel, contacted the steampunk con about their teacher discount, got the hotel for the loveland frogman festival in march (watch me get snowed into Loveland)
I did a bad thing. I took an Amazon prime trial membership because I HAD to spend the gift cards I got last work con and the items I wanted were over 50$ cheaper when I did that. Now to remember to cancel it in march.
What I Just Finished Reading:
A Curious Kind of Magic - I enjoyed this cozy mystery/fantasy thought the flawed main character did get on my nerves some times
Sugar and Vice - it was fairly fun
Sally Ride - I thought this was a YA book it was barely middle grade, more like 5-6th grade (I hate that my library system uses some reading level thing that means nothing to people who aren't parents. It's from the line that Chelsea Clinton started after the whole and yet she persisted dust up and it was nice for what it was.
What I am Currently Reading:
Zombie Day Care and something by Alison Bechdel about being superhuman. Oh joy an exercise memoir. Nearly done.
Luna Park history - it was an amusement park in Pittsburgh around 1910. Mostly interested because it feels like a place to set a story. I mean a lion escaped from it and ate a woman.
What I Plan to Read Next: La Grand Familia and some fantasy sapphic comic where chefs fight monsters...with giant forks. I know I know, the prompt is sapphic comic and this is the only one I haven't read yet at my library (I didn't like their other offerings enough to reread)

website final touches
Jan. 28th, 2026 12:00 pmseraphikissprogress time!
( yume page )
( jokerlev page )
( a 'work in progress' notice page )
( homepage for fic archive )
i might consider making an OTP shrine based on my yume shrine. i deeply yume with joker, but i also ship him primarily with mike. my partner actually got me into smiley face joker/luchino because he'd send videos of in-game moments. 😭
if i did make an OTP page, i'd have to make a jokermike playlist. i might also make just a "shrine" for both OTPs and characters, to make it easier and so that my site doesn't have 50,000 pages to edit.
