Trans women. I'm grabbing you by the shoulders and yelling. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE SKINNY TO BE FEMININE AND PRETTY AND CUTE. PLEASE STOP MAKING DIETS PART OF YOUR TRANSITION GOALS. WEIGHT LOSS IS A SCAM. I LOVE YOU. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES. YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
#I see so many transfems say they want to have “flat stomachs” or do diet and exercise regimes to try and get an “hourglass figure”#and it really worries me. girls you do not have to destroy yourselves to fit into unachievable beauty standards#the vast majority of cis women don't even fit those standards#and the same goes for you transmascs! I see you! I see you trying to get smaller chests and hurting yourselves with weight loss routines#and excessive workouts. it's not worth it. weight loss has OVER a 90% long-term failure rate and there's a reason for that#I assure you whatever diet you think you've found that “works for you” won't be working so well 5 years from now#and you're going to blame yourself for “slacking off”. but it's not you. it was never you. it was designed to fail.#these standards are made to hurt people and then sell them a false solution at the price of your health#I encourage you to transition if you'd like and live your best life I really do. but please please please do so SAFELY.#if weight loss is part of your transition goals please reevaluate WHY you believe thinness is necessary for achieving femininity#(or masculinity or androgyny but this stuff particularly affects women in the way it's marketed)#do research on fatphobia and the roots of weight loss culture. Learn where these ideas come from and why they're so prevalent.#It's extremely important#take care. stay safe. love you very much#trans#fat liberation#transgender#lgbt#trans rights#fat positivity#diet culture#fatphobia#transfem#trans positivity#transgirl#trans women#trans woman

day 192
a break from artfight for some good news! i have finally scheduled a surgical consult to have my enemy (read: uterus) removed. this is a bit of a scarier prospect than my breast reduction was, but i think it will be an equally impactful quality of life improvement when all is said and done!!
anyway those of yall who have been here since the beginning may remember me posting through that whole process so i figure why stop now.
#day 192#year 5#it me#cw gore#cw blood#cw... anthropomorphic uterus?????#hysterectomy#anyway much like the tit surgery this is both gender affirming and ALSO fixing a health problem that has been gnawing at me for years#never been confirmed but we suspect i have pcos and the usual medication regimen for that hasnt been managing things very well#SO suffice it to say my periods are logistically and mentally extremely fucking difficult to manage#always have been but since my thyroid problems began about a decade ago they've become horrible AND unpredictable#frankly im fuckin sick of it and going on T for the 6 months i did gave me SUCH a nice break from it all#that as things have started back up it has been made EXTREMELY clear what a huge burden i have been dealing with this whole time#basically i dont want to go back on T right now im happy where im at. BUT. the thought of having to have periods like this#for like 20-30 more years is rapidly becoming un fucking bearable#SO. we yoink that thang asunder

Lighthouse in the middle of SF Bay has opening for new keepers
The tl;dr is that a nonprofit runs this lil lighthouse and brings in new keepers (ideally a couple) every 2 years to run the small inn there. Naturally my first thought was:
FIC PROMPT! FIC PROMPT!
#no phone or internet#there's 5 rooms at the inn and your own housing and health insurance are part of the package#there's so much possibility here#like-- a couple applies then breaks up right before hearing that they're in the running for the position#so they decide to grit their teeth and PRETEND bc it'll give them both a chance to save a lot/pay down debt#(reader they DO fall back in love but it takes a while)#orrrrr#a pair of friends who fake a relationship#and then get a little too into falling and fall in love#only to find after 2 blissful years that actually you don't need to be a ~couple~ per se#but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ they're together now and better for it#(and yeah maybe one of them actually considered this possibility but. well.)#idk i just love it

Recognizing Early Signs of Mental Illness
#fe3h#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd#thats all it gets tagged as. if you see it then you were meant to see it.#txt post#side note while im in the tags no one looks at#im not too big a fan of the way people call his untreated psychosis as him being feral#its not a ground breaking take with the last 5 years of the game existing but ive only beem into fe3h for a year and its my blog#so I get to talk about it#like yes I understand its because he's likened to a Feral Boar charging ahead with destruction in its path and no brains etc etc#whatever felix said#but the way fans take that and really focus on calling an unhoused man with unresolved childhood ptsd haunting him for life feral?#the way fans take that and call a guy whos psychotic breakdown went untreated for 5 years feral?#REALLY doesnt sit well with me#idk im not the sort to be like “he didnt mean to murder this isnt him 🥺” because he did do that. a lot of that.#But people do things they dont want to do all the time when given the right mental state for it#Do you see people on the streets talking to themselves and shouting at the air and call them feral?#the ones you can smell from 6 feet away? the ones who have a crust on their hands and hair stiff from not having access to a proper shower?#the ones that havent had access to help or medication? Do you call them feral? Do you extend a hand or even look in their direction?#I'm rambling by this point. tldr mental health awareness and be kind to one another#and also to be careful and use your best judgement when helping because I stopped for an older woman asking for help#and she almost stabbed me in an empty parking lot#not my brightest moment

So has one ever reached a horrifying realization that Sumire technically got a glimpse of how Kasumi probably felt with her own peers? Especially the expectations and high praise towards her which made her seem perfect but probably got the same mistreatment from others like at Shujin but hid it all with a smile? 'Cause I just did the more I started to analyze the real Kasumi from what we do know.
#persona 5#p5#persona 5 royal#p5r#p5r spoilers#starchild rambles#sumire yoshizawa#kasumi yoshizawa#i just can't help but think#especially with the P5T DLC implying that the two actually started arguing/fighting a lot as they got older#i can't help but wonder if Kasumi had the same issues as Sumire but was just better at hiding it (with disastrous results obviously)#add that to the fact that Sumire's bias and declining mental health led to her not really knowing Kasumi as well as she thought... yeah...#basically what I'm saying is that she was probably living a few months in her sister's shoes without realizing it#which would be ironic since was pretending to BE her

starvetober day 5: cycle
this one was inspired by the original game jam prototype for dont starve, i recommend checking it out! its pretty neat to see what the game evolved from :]
#basically you and some pigs huddle around a fire and your health slowly depletes so your only option really is to well eat them#you can see how the premise would become the foundation for ds ^_^#starvetober#starvetober 2023#starvetober day 5#fanart#dst#wilson dst#wilson higgsbury#wilson p. higgsbury#wilson p higgsbury#wilson percival higgsbury#dst wilson#wilson dont starve#dont starve wilson#dont starve#dont starve together#don’t starve together#don’t starve#don't starve together#don't starve#klei#klei entertainment

can someone lend me a little faith in a god just for the weekend. my mother is visiting and I need to beg someone to give me strength
#she has planned like 5 networking meetings. taking me to peddle to various acquaintances of hers#which i mean - trying to fix me employment-wise bc she disapproves of my current job#is better than poisoning me in order to fix me health-wise#but ah well. bracing for impact#skravler

I need to be weirder about the scavengers and cannibalism...
#its been a long day... but im feeling better now. (thanks for the well wishes and such btw <3-)#(-sending my well wishes in return by tenfold bcs. damn. it seems stuff is really going around rn)#but yeah... just. augh. theres just smth about how the scavs sorta translate into more like. thriller-esque genres pretty well?#like. i feel somehow those themes compliment their characteristics? or could compliment their characteristics in a more rounded out way#sure. theyre generally a light hearted romp of absurdity with occasional themes of a not good not bad handling of 'mental health matters'#but they just really shine a bit in horrific circumstances. esp with the sort of absurdity they bring to the table#theyre odd people. even in the context of their generally weird and alien universe. and that right there feels like a trove of potential#its like. ok. the lost light crew? also odd. but thats a huge ship. full of people and variety and a sense of purpose and normalcy post-war#(normalcy being. whatever all those background folks were getting up too while plot happened around them. cruise ship stuff ig)#but in contrast. with the w.a.p crew. its an ark class ship with like. a handful of people. and a whole lot of junk and free time#both just cruising through space endlessly for years. one with hundreds of people. and one with like 6 people.#so both are technically isolated when theyre not making pit-stops planet or station side. but again. 100s vs 6 dudes.#think. top of the line cruise ship from hell with a small town sized populace vs a big shitty boat and 6 starving guys#both have the capacity to become case studies in madness. both could do really well thriller wise. but the scavs being a smaller group?#it only being the 6 of them emphasis the isolation perhaps. less variety. less change. same 6 people for 5(?) years#things could get weird fast. codependent mentalities. us vs them mindsets. an otherness about everyone else outside of their group#and then! then you add to the mix the fact that theyre eating/drinking from corpses?! *chefs kiss* awesome. love it.#non-stationary isolation + cannibalism. ough. perfect mix. a classic of maritime horror but in space! :D!#a big ship. small crew. living while knowing that as soon as you kick the bucket. your body is the meal. your body is the fuel.#no decorum about it. no faith. no belief. just perverse survival. bcs they might enjoy it. a bloody gluttony. with a bite. a sample. a taste#it takes seeing your buddy as a walking talking burger to another level. bcs every corpse you come across is also a burger. and a gas can#also fulcrum making candy out of corpses is so. particularly perfect when it comes to the horrifically absurd. just. smth about it. idk#but also also. the line. where was the line drawn for each of them? and when did they each cross it?#most of them dont seem like the type to jump head first into that. so how did they justify it to themselves? had they done it before?#and then. when did it become normal? a habit? smth enjoyable?#i might be running out of tags. but yeah. them being weirder. esp about each other and others.#nothing brings a group of people together like the overhanging knowledge that you sort of kinda wanna eat each other#(rlly wishing i could stomach realistic thrillers rn. but i just cant. gotta stick to written or artistic styles or risk panic attacks :/)#(ive tried a couple movies and shows now. and cant get through most of them. praise be synopses and peoples long rambles about them tho :D)#(nothing like reading someones passionate ramble about the meaning/symbolism of some gory nightmare without having to actually see it lol)

I'm going to Osaka after 3,5 years on Wednesday. I'm collecting final things to take with me to friends and lol, the list is pretty big.
Friend's birthday present (many small things)
Her next year's bigger birthday present when she turns 50
Our common friend's gifts to her which she asked me to deliver to Osaka
Souvenirs (many small things) for my friend
My friend's best friend - my acquaintance's - birthday present.
Acquaintance's souvenirs (many small things)
5 packages of tea
Multiple bags of rye bread
3 packages of coffee beans
A gift for my friend's cat who I will see for the first time (an orange girl)
We're heading next weekend to Tanabe city for a Kumano Hongu Taisha temple and onsen. My friend's parents will borrow us a car so a gift for them for the trouble.
Gift giving and bringing souvenirs is a serious business in Japan. I always worry I will screw it up somehow even when I know the basic etiquette for it
(>人<;)
#niu's life#I wasn't sure would this trip happen even when I've been planning for it for 5 years#Unfortunately I'm not at the best health so I'll go there for a week only#but I will utilize the week as well as I can#stuff myself full with medicine and keep going

pilot sam, upon discovering that the woman in white drowned her kids in the bath, gets a glimpse of a strange memory in which john was giving him a bath as a child, and it almost seemed like john was deliberately holding sam’s head under the water with a sad look on his face, just for a few moments before changing his mind. but it’s probably nothing…
#btw this was when sam was 5 and after he brought an injured bird to the house they were staying in during the winter#to nurse it back to health#and he wrapped the bird in a towel and turned the gas stove burners on to hold the bird near to warm it up#and john came home to find a burning towel starting a fire in the kitchen and a suffocated dead bird#also this was on the anniversary of mary's death#sam winchester#john winchester#supernatural#where was dean well he was outside throwing a little knife up in the air and dodging it while it came down

SAG-AFTRA is officially set to join the WGA in going on strike. No filming, premiere attendence or other promotion of any kind allowed.
I hope to see nothing but support for this decision.
#SAG-AFTRA#WGA#a shame the DGA isn't joining as well#not like their directors are gonna have a lot of work set out for them for the time being#this will have an interesting effect on the media landscape i'm sure#no more barbie premiere dresses#SDCC this year is gonna return to its more humble “nerds unite” roots at this point#i hope the wealthier writers and actors will support those that rely on the paychecks during the (continued) strike#actually i want a-list actors to step up in general#like why do like 5 people get paid a billion dollars for a few weeks of work per year#while their fellow working actors barely manage to book enough jobs to make their health insurance#IATSE should vote to strike again as well now that i think of it#they spend more time than anyone on set and get the least pay#doesn't seem fair#anyway#hopefully this will cause some positive changes in the industry#i don't want to see any complaints about the continued strikes affecting psych 4#i'll block your ass if you do

Brain in Daylight Hours: There is no mental or emotional space for writing. There are no new ideas, and no structure for old ideas.
Brain after Dark: Here's 38 new ideas, 3/4 of a structure, official permission to write, and -- oh. The only place to write in the dark is your phone? ... Never mind.
#writing#well#not writing at the moment#I saw a post about characters doomed by the narrative#and the fridged wife trope#and it got me thinking about Apricots#about whether Jess should be dead from the start#and how much it matters that it's a multi-POV story with hers as one of the vital points of view#and whose POVs are ultimately included#and how they kind of mimic the classic 5 stages of grief in a way#but each has to escape their part of that cycle in one form or another#and about how each is a reflection of me in some way because of course they are because that's how I write things#and about how the villains are a reflection of my views about certain things too#and about how the story takes shape#and how it's someone who was dead long before Jess was ever born who's really been doomed from the start#Basil is doomed by the narrative and he knows this#Jess thinks she's doomed by the narrative but she has the chance to change that#Noah resents the narrative because he believes someone has to be doomed by it and he hates the idea of anyone being doomed#Ian thinks there has to be a way out of the narrative if he can just move props around the stage the right way#Kade finds the events of the narrative lonely and sad but knows that clinging to a prologue only makes the rest harder to read#Luciana has believed most of these things at some point#now she believes that while the narrative deserves to be destroyed the characters in it do not so all she can do is endure#and none of these are exactly organized thoughts#or give me any insight into the structure of the plot#or the things I've been struggling with#but it was almosf coherent for a whole hour tonight#and only the idea that writing on my phone until 2 or 3 am would hurt my wrists/hands/eyes stopped me#if only I could keep the light on just a little longer at night#it's a risk to my budgie's health and I refuse to do that#but I wish I could write in the hours my brain says I'm allowed to write...

It’s weird to have anniversaries that used to mean everything to you pass you by unnoticed. Yesterday was Skin Deep day, the anniversary for a fandom that saved my life in so many ways and yet it was a normal day. The love I feel for the Rumbelle fandom will likely never go away but right now it’s an ember instead of a blazing flame. I hope you had a wonderful Skin Deep day complete with Love is Purple gifsets and all the Woobie!Gold.
#rumbelle#skin deep day#rumbelle fandom#because as much as I love the characters it was y’all who made me who I was#I was at my peak obsessed from mid HS to early college#I’m now working a 9-5 job and in a much better place mental health wise even if there was a nosedive in there as well
