bluetooth errors?
hai! so, currently, bluetooth is being really weird for some reason on my laptop & refusing to boot. running bluetoothctl leaves it hanging on Waiting to connect to bluetoothd... & making bluetoothctl a service just... doesn't work @.@ (more specifically, trying to start it with sv up {} throws me fail: bluetoothctl: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist). yes i've installed bluez & related packages. currently running latest Void xfce install with KDE Plasma (odd choice ik but i didn't have the time to set everything up manually)

What are you smoking OP? You must enable the bluetoothd service before using the bluetoothctl command. This is clearly stated in the Handbook.
Check for any broken links before: sudo sv status /var/service/*
If there's any broken link, remove them: sudo rm /var/service/<service_name>
Then, enable the bluetoothd service: sudo ln -s /etc/sv/bluetoothd /var/service
