So I just got my brakes done for my car, Hades. My wife’s car needs new brakes and had a sputtering moment the other day. They also have to commute way farther for work than I do, and remembered they were low on gas.

My commute is like. Seven minutes. So I said to take my car and I’d give their car very gentle use for the day.

Which is why it was distressing to get a call from them in the midst of picking blackberries for their birthday cheesecake informing me that my cars tire light popped on. They checked it and found one tire basically flat. It turned out there was a screw in it. Their boss helped them put on my spare and took it to his guy to see if it could be patched- alas, no, it’s too close to the rim.

So now they had all that to deal with. Instead of a drama free car day it was Car Stress Galore.

#ramblies #stressful shit #so tomorrow we’re dropping their car off to get worked on and I need to buy a new tire #instead of just enjoying our day off together #-.- also the friends we were gonna get dinner with tomorrow had a covid exposure and we have to wait a week for that

TFW you're coming up on 5 years together but in that time, your partner came out as pansexual and you transitioned and now you're both faggots into forcemasc.

(he/him for both)

#ftm transition timeline #ftmlm #ftm mlm #ftm forced masculinization #ftm forcemasc #ftm autoandrophilia #we look so much happier now even though we both had a shit day #he got stabbed earlier today but we saw the memory on my phone and were like “ohh we gotta redo it”#he grew his hair out #i transed my gender #technically I was like out as non-binary since I was a teenager but I was stealth and still femme presenting #but we cracked my egg when covid hit because there wasn't the expectation of work and people judging #but then breeding kink went brr and I had pregnancy complications so I had to put off hrt THEN WE MOVED #forcemasc #forced masculinization #he successfully bred my tboy ass though and forces my masc until I auto on my androphilia if you know what I mean #he does my t shots and supports me unconditionally #and despite my mopey midnight dramatizations to make myself seem pathetic we actually have a good relationship #like that's fantasy since people sometimes can't tell with me #autoandrophilia #but the stuff in these tags are honest tbh #nsft vulnerable #we both got fat too 😂

compilation of dumb shit from my various incomplete p4 fanfics that i will probably maybe actually finish and post on ao3 at somepoint-

#rambearling #persona 4 #p4 #that last one's my favorite tbh-#also for those curious the first one's from a slightly dumb souyo fanfic that i'll probably try to finish and post for valentine's day #(yu and yosuke get together first and end up wingmanning for the rest of the investigation team it's gonna be beary stupid-)#the second's from a sickfic with teddie cuz i'm slightly suffering lately (period last week + covid shot this week)#and the last two are from a chatfic that's the investigation team using skype. that last one's my favorite tbh #also i haven't written it but i have an amazing scene planned for that fanfic cuz i wanna include some video calls #(not sure how to format them yet tbh. prose wasn't really working but neither was a more script-like format-)#yosuke and teddie have to use the same laptop for it and there's not enough space for both of them #so in true little brother fashion teddie pushes yosuke off the bed #and then the rest of the investigation team acts like yoosk's dead and they hold a faux funeral for him fdskljfdssdfkjskjd-#i have it written down more or less i just don't know how to format it-#it's very silly though i might add it in a reblog or smth idk #yea i think i will it counts tbh-

i love my sister and for the most part, we are very close and genuinely like each other a lot but the one place where i'd just really, really, really like to see inside her brain is the part where she is still incredibly comfortable and cheerful—and even thinks it's really funny—talking about how much she didn't like me as a child while I'm like. yes. I am and was aware. and it sucked so so so much

#we had a really wild moment over dinner last week where she actually acknowledged #EXPLICITLY with her OWN WORDS #that things like our brother dying right when i was going into my senior yr of high school #and covid lockdown starting right when i'd graduated college + moved to a new city where i knew no one except her + was applying/auditionin #for jobs #were harder on me than one her in some unique ways #and i was literally like . is. is this a test? am i supposed to deny it?#bc like when our brother died she told me i was a selfish brat (for not grieving the way she did)#and during covid she told me (right after i got laid off) that she had ''way more reasons to be depressed'' than i did #personal #anyway she was laughing so much as she said this (abt not liking me) and i was just staring at her nodding slightly like #yeah. i know. i know you didn't like me #do YOU know how much it sucks to know that your older sister--whom you idolize--who you *desperately* want to like you--#not only doesn't like you at all #but even up into high school/college #would talk about how she couldn't wait till our LITTLE (five year old) cousins were old enough to hang because they'd be so much fun #and know that she had absolutely never thought or said that about you #do you perhaps! think that might still have ramifications on our relationship to this day #if your little sister spent 20+ years knowing that your love was conditional on them being the person you wanted her to be #like. do u???#(the answer is no of course but #i remain boggled by the fact that this eludes her considering she is! in fact! a really smart person!)#it's also like when i was first offered my current job #and our now bosses asked both of us like ''are you worried at all about working with your sister?''#and she laughed like lol no of course not?#while i was like ''honestly yes.'' adskjfglkjasds #very different perspectives sometimes

I very much enjoy booping, but tumblr is running like ass today and I'm already low on spoons so I'm not returning boops as well as I'd like :(

#I'm not sure if it's because I didn't sleep well last night or something else #last night was my first night in like 3 months I've been off of my sleep meds #my doctor's trying something that's safer for long-term use but my insurance is taking #its sweet time approving the new stuff and I can't get a refill on my old stuff unless the new stuff doesn't work XD;;;;#I'm impressed I actually made it out of bed before noon today tbh #I'm not sure if I just got really lucky of if I actually fixed my sleep schedule this time #I tried once before 2yrs ago and it kind of worked but then I got covid and everything went to hell so I didn't try again #then a few months ago I got sucked into relying on my meds because I have addictive tendencies and it's REALLY nice being able to sleep #regularly after a lifetime of bad sleep #I really hope last night wasn't a fluke because I'd love to not be reliant on meds to sleep #like I slept terribly compared to on the meds but normally the rebound insomnia from coming off is like 10x's worse than last night #like I normally just don't sleep for a day after going off the meds #but I got like 4-5hrs during the night and actually woke up in the morning. That's HUGE for me unmedicated #I'm very tired #emmy ramblings

Crafting/vaccine side effects update: I am still not up for crafting but oh my gosh I feel so much better than I expected to! I did have a POTS flareup but my blood pressure never got below 100/60, so like it barely counts. I mean, the tachycardia was worse, but even that was nowhere near what it's been previous times I got the booster shots, and it's mostly resolved itself within like 24 hours of getting the shot instead of like three days. I'm still operating at a deficit of water and salt but I'm working on it bit by bit, and I was skeptical when my doc said I wouldn't need an extra dose of my salt-go-up pills* but he was right! Anyway point is no crafting updates today but there might actually be crafting updates tomorrow, which I did not expect to be saying *fludrocortisone! It helps me retain salt in a way almost approaching the normal human way of processing salt

#the person behind the yarn #the chills sucked and I barely got any sleep because I kept waking up every 20-30 minutes #but I took today off work and have had some long naps and am feeling a lot better #like. on an average day this would count as feeling pretty crummy #but for a day post-vaccine this is EXCELLENT oh my gosh #I did have to scoot and/or crawl around on the floor instead of walk this morning #but that was because when I stood up my heart rate got high enough to make me a little nauseous #not because my blood pressure was low enough to be a fall risk (like it has been every previous vaccine)#and that resolved itself by like midmorning at the latest. I was able to go downstairs and climb back upstairs at almost normal speed!#and like...between tachycardia nausea and low bp nausea low bp nausea is so much worse. so this was not bad #I know it sounds bad but like prior to today the least worst covid booster I got was the one last year #and last year my bp was so low and my heart rate so high that I had to be pushed in a wheelchair between the couch and the bathroom #because I could not walk without falling. and today I can!! I was able to eat normal food today instead of just plain rice and saltines!#HUGE improvement. I'm going to have to make more coasters for my doctor's office

#i dunno man #everytime i read some new thing about covid and long covid #i just feel like im losing my marbles #im the only one still masking it feels like #nobody at my drs offices wear them even the soecialists #my therapist acts like this is an irrational fear of mine #so i dont talk about it as much #shes happy im not isolating myself. and not full of crippling guilt when i do go out #which is good #i agree with her on that #but. ive been numbering my bags with my n95s since i rewear them a few times #ive been using n95s since i took this job. three years in october #which is wild the longest ive worked in one place is just over a year--all seasonal work or short internships. not because i leave #or get fired/laid off #but im getting down to the end of the alphabet #i dont know what ill do when i do #literally as far as labels but also like. its a lot you know?#im debating trying new mask styles. i wanted to ages ago but hoped. i wouldnt need to wear them for much longer #now it feels like i always will.#so. second best time to plant a tree and all.#i want to get out and make friends and do fun stuff. but it's so fuckibg hard and scary #how can i make friends when i cant relax in small indoor spaces #when i. cant eat out at restaurants (due to food issues and masking)#when inviting people to my house makes me anxious for days #how can i make friends under those circumstances?#im so lonely. and so envious #of my friends who do stuff and gave partners. i want that for me but i cant have it. before it was because i moved. ecery 3-6 months #now its this. is it realky any wonder that i nearly cried reading that fic the other day #when Etho took off his mask. and it was treated so fucking kindly and like the trust geasture it was? that it would be. for me?#maybe trust is the wrong word. i dont know. comfort? feeling safe in a space with someone who respects me and my health?

#meg talks #feeling really down and frustrated #ever since i caught covid over the new year ive just been doing so badly #it’s now halfway through may and not only am i having all sorts of weird new pain problems #to the point where i dragged myself to the er yesterday bc my usual meds didn’t do shit for me and i spent seven hours writhing in pain #but also mentally im just. constantly tapped out #before covid i was able to keep up w news and work on research projects and write multiple image descriptions every day and read books #and keep up w friends all while working full time #like even if i was in bed p much whenever i wasn’t at work i could still read and write and carry conversations #now it’s like i can only handle all of these things in small doses before my brain just shuts off #im still keeping up w news and describing what i can and working on my research projects and trying to make connections #but i feel so slow abt everything i do #it’s driving me up the wall #ive been trying for days to get through this one academic paper that’s rlly not even that long #and i just can’t do it. not for long anyway i have to read in small bursts #and then having to take muscle relaxants for these fucking spasms that make me really drowsy and sleep the whole day away…#idk. it might not even be abt covid i might be reading too much into it but it’s just pissing me off. thinking abt how nobody masks anymore #and how every time there’s a covid outbreak i won’t be able to properly protect myself or my brothers from it #bc of this fuckass job #idk im just tired and upset

nameless anxiety. misplaced anxiety. reasonable anxiety about real potential issues in the future. I'm experiencing all of them right now and i think i have to vacuum my bedroom about it

#it's a big and necessary task bc it's moth hatching season under the carpet so i gotta keep on top of them #it's also a physically demanding task bc i have to move a lot of objects and storage onto my bed and then back #but i dont really wanna #i'm trying to avoid exertion due to post covid fears #but if i dont do it now i will have to do it later anyway and it's my last day off before work again tomorrow #i have to miss a mandatory staff meeting bc of my brother's birthday present (tix for the LP tribute band) and i dont wanna have that convo #i mean management wont be able to do anything but i am conflict avoidant #havent been able to confirm the room either so im anxious about that

also i think i am having a bad allergic reaction to the mold in my office. there’s mold in my office btw

#their solution was to clean the carpets and talking about hiring pros to come in and clean the walls #then sending out an email about how taking everything off the walls would too hard.#but there’s lysol wipes in the hall if you’d like to clean them yourself #anyways i started getting a really bad cough and a little congestion last week.#also had a covid exposure at the office so i was freaking + testing like crazy bc i was getting respiratory symptoms + mildly elevated temp #all negative‚ requested an extra remote day just to be safe. cough went away and i felt much better after a few days. figured it was a cold.#worked my first full day in the office again today and the cough is mysteriously back and worse.#now i’m no doctor house but —#ig my next move is getting tested for mold allergy?#and if i have to submit an ada request to have Working In A Place With No Mold be granted as a reasonable accommodation.#that will legitimately be the funniest thing ive ever done.#there is everyone’s too much personal detail liz update of the day We Live in A Society

ive got to start being more of a bastard at work

#guy the other day heated up some oatmeal in one of the microwaves #and some of it like leaked out of the cup and he just left it there and walked away #only later did i think i should have been like 'oops you forgot some of your oatmeal! dont you want the rest???'#i should also do this when people are making their coffees and spill some milk or coffee creamer #like oops you left behind some milk! dont you want to come back and get it?? better take it with you!#the way people around here have a complete lack of ability of cleaning up after themselves or any shred of common decency does piss me off.#and i am often possessed by the need to be a cartoonishly mischievous guy about things #this is tangentially related but having worked pre-covid and working now i do so love wearing a mask at work #not only for the obvious protection reason but it means people cant really see my expressions when theyre saying or doing some dumb shit #like i remember working at the college bookstore pre-covid and there were really moments where i had to keep it together #its like these people are unaware theyre on a sitcom and im the actor trying to keep in character and not break #anyway . latest work observations

i was trying to use that age post to try an gauge how old an alter is but due to not being a literal child in the meat world shes kinda contradictory. the youngest on that post is 4 anyway where they can understand language but she cant. so idk. she has very limited speech but i dont think its linked to her age i think thats just a limitation she has but she also cant understand language most of the time either. so idk. anyways thats my late night tjoughts

#posts #i dont talk about her much bc it feel like. weird kind of. shes just a little kid so i dont wanna talk abt basically her personal life #esp since its not really possible for her to have input due to communication issues and bc she is Not going to be using social media. lol #but for now i will talk abt her bc i feel like it idk. she split off when we went back to the mental hospital after Escaping. she has the-#-same birthday as me actuallt #at first she could write and undertsand feelings directed at her i guess? and could ostensibly speak but maybe not idk. bottom line is she-#-could do language for the first few days and then we got covid #and ever since then the only thing she can say or write is ''you have covid.'' which is what was said to us when our test thing came back #<- duh #so thats her name as well. but we call her co for short #shes contradictory in that she kind of Appears older than 4 like i might put her at 6 idk im not the best at visualizing age #but she has those massive restrictions on speech but at the same time can copy letters okay like her hand is more steady than expected #<- ive always assumed thats muscle memory at work but idrk #and also she likes specifically ada rook and stomach book's music. just in addition to everything else that was randomly aded to her existe #she also likes those like. aesthetic organization/snack cart restocking tiktoks. and civil court shows. and bluey #and baby yoda and frank sinatra nmovies

#apparently I’m not done being mad about this I’m sorry guys I gotta vent #my dad is like an ox and never sick and like not very understanding with health issues/general illness #which you’d think he would have been after having me the super sickly child with a ton of health issues but no #we have a positive Covid case in the house and I have the same fucking symptoms I just started later #I have taken two tests- one yesterday and one today #and he yelled at me saying I’m wasting tests and also that I’m apparently fine which like #even if I somehow don’t catch covid I’m still sick but okay dad 🫠#if it helps put things into a better perspective… did yall know that back in November after I had my 3rd fucking endometriosis surgery #he asked why I was off work for two weeks and why I didn’t go back the day after surgery?#like I had had this surgery twice before and at home recovery was also two weeks both those times #but moreover like sir I have 3 incisions in my abdomen and my job requires me to left 50lbs???#at which point he still insisted I was fine and was just being ‘dramatic’ 🙃#I wanna fucking scream #I’m lissed the fuck off #did yall know he nearly got me killed once because I had neurovirus and he refused to take me to the er?#I eventually lost consciousness from severe dehydration- he thought I was sleeping and continued to argue with my mom that I was fine 🫠#they eventually took me but I was unconscious for several hours and it took five bags of iv fluid for me to regain consciousness #and the doctor estimated I was about two hours away from death so like #yeah #if that gives yall a better idea of the shit I’m putting up with #I have like zero tolerance for dealing with his bullshit when I’m sick #it’s the trauma from not fucking being believed for years of my life about any of my illnesses #and like also the fucking almost dying part #fun times 🫠#I’m sorry I’m ranting so much today I’m just really fucking done and have no other outlet 🙃
