forget wanderlust, sonder, all those words for vague dreamy feelings… what I’m asking for is a concise word for the feeling you get when someone makes an assumption about you that’s 100% correct but you really don’t like that anyone was able to make that assumption. for now I’m calling it a fuckor
“he asked me ‘you main junkrat right’ and a wave of fuckor wracked my feeble body”
send me asks. make me tremble with fuckor
Someone walked up to me in Barnes and Noble like 4 years ago and asked me where the Manga section was. I told them where, but I also let them know that i didn’t work there. They kind of shrugged then looked me dead in the eyes and said.
“Idk, you just looked like you might know.”
I changed my complete aesthetic after hearing that come to jesus, god fearing, exposé of a line.
The other day my manager admitted that she still shops at hot topic, and when I told I knew already because she seemed like the type she threatened to fire me

“Are you here for the cosplay event?” – While dressed in plain blue jeans and a plain red t shirt and sneakers with my work lanyard on.
*Please understand my bad English.. T_T It’s my second language.*
I had a rough time during my 20s. I always had a low self-esteem since high school. But in my 20s, it went even lower. My expectation was too high for my actual skills. But instead of try harder to get better, I lost all my motivations and gave up pursuing art.
One day while I was mindlessly surfing the net, I stumbled upon this amazing Korean artist’s blog. In his blog, he also wrote his life stories like a diary. And it shocked me how much he hated himself for being bad at art. And what he wrote was life changing experience for me. (* I can’t find exact quote since I forgot who he was… T_T.)He said “I gave up comparing myself with others. I just want to be better than myself yesterday. Now I feel much happier when I draw.”
Why was I torturing myself by comparing with other people? I became an artist because I enjoyed drawing and being creative. I want to have fun again. I want to love what I used to love. From that day, I stop thinking how well others doing. I just thought about what kind of fun things I should draw.
And here I am now. I can still say drawing is my favorite hobby. (and also my job. lol)
I hope my experience can also help someone who’s feeling the same way I used to feel.
One of my favorite things to see is random people trying to interact with unfamiliar outdoor cats. Just standing there with a hand out, making kissy noises, maybe meowing at the cat while it ignores them. Mankind at its best and least dignified
if you want to interact with a cat that doesn’t know you, sit down not facing it. glance at it occasionally and make an inviting noise, but mostly just play with your phone or whatever.
the cat will almost certainly come over to check you out sooner or later. it’ll stay out of arm’s reach because it doesn’t know if you’re a jerk. offer your hand and let the cat sniff. wait. if the cat wants pettins, it will indicate that by noofing your hand, flopping on its side, or coming in close.
the cat may want to be bros but not get pettins. in that case, it will sit or lie near you but out of reach. this is friendly! the cat is saying, you’re a person in my neighborhood! hi neighbor!
of course, it’s possible that the cat is a great big cuddleslut and will come love all over you. that happens too. but if it doesn’t, that doesn’t mean it’s an unfriendly cat. be chill and let the cat choose how close to get, and you’ll find most cats are pretty friendly.
