I wish I'd booked weekly therapy until the end of the year. my mind is fucking me up.
#count wordulas#overall im ok#i just rly need to process some feelings#and im not sure my meds are helping with mu anxiety and depression v much#i feel sad a lot like everything has a darker tint to it#i wish i was someone else#someone who was content or not in turmoil all the time#I feel defective#and i feel lkke im getting old#reflecting on the past i feel like im looking at a different person which also frightens me#I feel like things that happened 5 years ago happened to someone else#like one thing in particular#I dont know how to feel about that but i dont mean it metaphorically#it feels detached from me in a way i dont like#why am i like this#i also really miss garrus so fucking much#i hope i never feel lkke he belonged to a different person#i can still remember his scent and his weight and his fur#he was so beautiful inside and out#three years was not enough time with him and it hurts so bad

not enough discussion about the gavins' complicated relationship with feminine-coded/beauty products, i don't think.
#for klavier because it's not as direct it's about how we never see him actually wearing lipstick? even though apollo literally attends#a concert of his which is where you'd most expect him to wear makeup. but apparently he just doesnt. or at least not in public#klavier gavin#kristoph gavin#i feel like there are several ways you can read into it. the misogyny/toxic masculinity one is really obvious clearly with kristoph's#singling out of men specifically and klavier's (probably accidental?) condescending manner of calling women 'fraulein' plus his general#mildly patronising attitude towards many of the women in the game (also probably unintentional)#(i think he's trying to be charming and it's coming off wrong to some of them. like ema. and me.)#but i feel like there's also maybe an element of... inherent perfecfionism to it? like both of these products are conventionally beautifyin#products and kristoph while he is open to showing people he uses nail polish specifically chooses one that's clear and missable unless you#see him apply it. he also feels the need to justify his use of it and specifically spell it out as something he chooses to do rather than#needs to do even though duh. that should be obvious.#idk there's just something about his seeming need to take control of that narrative that i find interesting. his need to spin it into a#'there's nothing wrong with my nails but I had the foresight to see that even the smallest parts of my appearance should be kept immaculate#and it's a choice i'm making to refine an already adequate part of my personage /not/ to cover some unsightly defect.' the need to emphasis#that specifically is so. hm. and with klavier i could see it being a case of him liking makeup liking the pops of colour yet being unwillin#to admit to it because he's afraid that other people might see it as him being dissatisfied with his own appearance regardless of if he is#or isn't. or even just perceiving colourful makeup as being unseemly because it's so overt and unnatural.#like i can see this as them both viewing 'real' beauty to be that which is inherent to a person and seemingly effortless#thus somehow negating the beauty which one achieves through cosmetics or other external means.#and if you want to use external means to achieve beauty or neatness or whatever then your only valid options are those which blend into you#natural state. like clear nail polish. or really awful spray tan.#i feel like klavier's less confined by these ideas (if they hold merit at all) considering he actually owns coloured lipstick and he wears#jewellery (admittedly quite 'masculine' jewellery no gems or pearls or anything like that but jewellery nonetheless) but i think it just#makes it more interesting that he doesnt seem quite able to cross the line anyway. like it's that ingrained into his system.#anyway that's all i've got. you guys should tell me what you think too#annotations

maddie being a redhead in an enforcer's uniform who supports caitlyn even when she makes questionable decisions and only challenges her by making soft suggestions and therefore representing what caitlyn thought she wanted in vi. but of course it's not enough because what caitlyn needs isn't a sheep but a ram.
#something about how quickly she defected once vi stood up to her as an equal idk#i feel like i have so many thoughts brewing but my brain is really not having it today >.<#arcane#arcane spoilers#caitlyn kiramman#caitvi#maddie nolan#vi arcane#arcane s2#violyn#piltover's finest

satoru is so fucking strong i think i’d GENUINELY have thrown up if i was in his place when geto came to declare war on jujutsu high … like i’m so serious i couldn’t handle cult!geto i really really couldn’t
#he is the most devastating sugu to me#i cant think of a reunion scenario with him post-defection without tearing up or feeling mildly nauseous#😭😭😭#i would break down and cry i just knowwwww it#the humiliation would be too much i’d have to flee the country#i really want to write a whole series for reformed sorcerer!geto but the idea of it just makes me want to bawl#ari noises ✩

spy whumpee is discovered, and the enraged and betrayed people they were spying on take all their anger out on them, beating them bloody until they're practically holding onto life by a thread, then tossing them in a cell and leaving them for interrogation, if they don't die from their injuries first.
whumpee's squad back home begins to get concerned after whumpee doesn't give them their daily update. they send whumpee a message of their own... and get nothing back.
concern turning to genuine worry and fear for their friend, leader sends caretaker and two other teammates to go find whumpee, and bring them back if needed.
when whumpee wakes up again, they're laying in a military hospital. they feel like they've been run over by a semi-truck, but they turn their head to see their hand intertwined with caretaker's, who had fallen asleep in a chair at their side, and the deepest relief they've ever felt washes over them as they realize they're safe.
#whump#whump prompts#military whump#soldier whump#mine#this one feels a little lacking but eh#i feel like w/ spy whumpees it's always like#the people they're spying FOR treat them like shit and they end up defecting to the other side for real#OR neither side treats them like a person and it's just misery all around#and i don't mind either of those#but i wanted to do a spy whumpee who's team really cares about them and will rush in to bring them home at the slightest hint of danger

Coming in hot with more fight-or-flight content let's fucking go
#hi fi rush#hi-fi rush#rekka hi fi rush#mimosa hi fi rush#fightorflight#there's like. 5 different ways i can take this ship and Mimosa fell first Rekka fell harder is one of them#Mimosa to me is like. pretty experienced in relationships. but also unfortunately experienced in rejection breakups and situationships#she knows when she starts to catch feelings and knows how to mask them well and tries to gauge their interest#and when she thinks Rekka doesn't reciprocate she just goes 'same shit different day. ow oof why does this one hurt' and tries to move on#meanwhile Rekka bolts upright at 3 AM one morning drenched in sweat realizing she likes Mimosa and she is NOT TAKING IT WELL#she takes after QA-1MIL and starts gnawing on defects to let out that stress#also i just imagined them like. physically falling. and it's still very ic for them#Mimosa's graceful with her wings and is slow and precise about floating down into the romance pit#and Rekka comes hurtling down at 500 mph and leaves a crater where she landed and she's fine physically just very dizzy

yeah you say “cringe is dead” but do you still apologize about reblogging stuff related to your “cringy” interests? kill the mindset that you are somehow not included in that statement or we’re never actually going to change anything
#i have never been in a fandom that apologizes for liking the source media as much as the homestuck fandom does#like jesus christ STOP it’s not cute actually#we’re on tumblr. we’re literally on tumblr and you still feel the need to be like ‘omg so so sorry for reblogging this hs post teehee’#if people unfollow you for it who cares. who. cares.#also not only is it 1) perpetuating a toxic culture of shame and 2) annoying#it’s highly disrespectful to the creator of the media#someone poured their heart and soul into the anime or book or album that you’re so ashamed of liking#by APOLOGIZING for liking something just because other people like to mock it you’re agreeing that this thing that you supposedly love#is defective. less than. worthy of mockery#i mean not only is that spineless as hell it’s like. imagine being a creator and knowing that not even your fans respect your work#so yeah. stop apologizing for liking the things you like. either express that affinity freely or shut the fuck up entirely#hm. im madder about this than i thought i was. lol.#op

it's my third year at a school in sweden and i have just been very bad at Conversing with people - like i am on friendly terms with everyone, i can do surface level small talk with most people (unless they're trying to talk to me at a loud party. why do people do that, i literally Can Not hear and understand you). i Try to participate by joining i when i hear something i can actually talk about, but it happens so rarely i mostly just do my own introvert thing in the periphery. a large part of this is just the language barrier in combination with the broken auditory processing. another part is of course, the Autism, and that i'm too queer and weird and online to connect easily with normies (non-derogative). i'm sure many can relate to this struggle!! i know i'm not actually terrible at holding conversations, because once i'm among my people, we're GOING. talking for HOURS. i sometimes forget this, when i've been isolated from my crowd for too long.
anyway. i have at least one classmate who's online enough to even get what i'm talking about, which is nice. (he had to explain what a 'fantasy league' is to me. "oh, like sports headcanons?" "...sure. like that.") now there's also a guy in the 2nd year who i will, occasionally, when the stars align, have interesting conversations with that go a little deeper than what's going on at school. this is a great development for me, even though i still leave these occasions like "oh god that was too much i am a wretched tumblrina stereotype and i will face judgement for my cringe" but i must embrace it. i know who i am and i own it. anyway all this to say that i'm only a little bit ashamed at joining a conversation today because i heard them talk about the omegaverse. we had a very interesting talk about media literacy and conspiracy theories okay. i learnt about chromatherapy wands
#swedenquest#this is just another nail in my tumblrina coffin#i got to peddle the if books could kill podcast. im always pleased to inflict michael hobbes upon my peers#sometimes it really is about finding the right people!!!#being in a crowd that's not the right fit for you can get so lonely and make you feel like you're socially defective#but then you find someone who gets it and it's such a relief hahaha

Alchemy for potions. Blacksmithing for repairs. Leatherworking and weaving for mending. She is not an artisan, but the basic skills she has picked up over the years have served her well. Self-sufficiency has always been at the forefront of her mind, and she is pleased that she can keep herself afloat when needed. Besides, crafting is relaxing. A hobby or two here and there is good for her mind. —level 90 compendium

I am returned! Crazy things happened on hiatus, and here is a play-by-play:
Spent the bulk of September with our dogs at my great-aunt's lake cottage (which is a 15-hr drive from here), due to the abundance of birthdays this month.
Shortly after arriving, I got a cold from my sister, which as per usual, turned into bronchitis, which lasted the entirety of the vacation (I still have the cough).
Around midnight on the eve of our departure, I had a gallbladder attack (first one since early spring).
Except it was way worse. Like, I couldn't breathe, couldn't speak, couldn't even cry.
Called 911, got in the ambulance, and the pain suddenly vanished in the space of a minute.
The wee mountain hospital didn't have imaging equipment beyond a CT scan and the Dr. was like "If the pain is gone, you shouldn't expose yourself to that much radiation" (which I appreciated)
My labs were normal, so we conclude this must've been the passing of the gallstone. Big, if true.
I take hydrocodone and we all go to sleep.
In the morning, my mom and sister pack my stuff for me and my parents and I drive the 15 hours back home so that dad can make it to a job interview the next day.
During the last 45 minutes of the journey, my mom's very very old & frail chihuahua experiences a sharp decline in his already poor constitution.
I'm knocked out on hydrocodone, but my dad is up all night with the dog, and in the morning, he takes him to the vet to be put down.
My mom is devastated, this dog was adopted to be her bedside companion during chemo twelve years ago.
My dad's interview goes well.
I still have bronchitis.
Two days later, my sister (who stayed longer at the lake house to clean up) drives back to her home in Southern GA, but for hurricane Helene reasons, the highway is closed and she gets lost.
She finally makes it home to find her power is out, for hurricane Helene reasons (it's still out)
Three days later (last night), I have another brutally painful attack (clearly I'd NOT passed the stone), so my parents drive me to the ER.
Am able to get an ultrasound there, which confirms I still have either many gallstones or one huge one, but my labs are still normal.
Unfortunately, this makes sense because I underwent some rapid drastic weight loss after my attack in the spring.
ER Dr. thinks my pain is instead being caused by gastritis for genetic reasons (which reminded my mom that as a teenager she passed out at work from gastritis).
He prescribes me a trio of gastritis drugs.
I'll be going to a trusted functional medicine doctor next month because my dad got the job (an amazingly good job, praise God) and we can afford it at last. My hope is that this Dr. can point to causes beyond genetics for the gastritis and also get rid of the stones once and for all, even if that means going on Ursodiol.
My dad's new job requires him to move to the Middle East in three weeks.
Oh, and my personal Instagram account (which was about to become the cornerstone of my small business) was inexplicably terminated during my hiatus and I have no means of getting it back besides writing to the state Attorney General.
#I'm treating the gastritis diagnosis as a second opinion#half of it checks out and the other half of it feels sus#I'm really banking on the outstanding reviews of this functional doctor that our church friend gave us#she said he listened to her for 2 hours which sounds fake but ok#tl;dr my vacation was not really a vacation and my whole torso feels like a bus ran over it#but I'm so happy for my dad. this is a job that appreciates him for his military experience rather than treating it as a defect#he loves the Middle East and the company will pay for him to visit us whenever and we can go stay with him for 3 months at a time#(I likely will not until these health issues are sorted but even so. it's so much better than a deployment)#(and the pay is vastly improved lol--so thank y'all for your prayers on the job front)#x
