#I need a new prescription tho

[no-one-hears-me]

I wish I had good eyesight

[guinevereslancelot]

eye doctor was trying not to scare me today bc i have a sight threatening condition 🥲 it's probably treatable but i need to go to a specialist

[minminambus]

EEK! Silly ramble below!

[lexosaurus]

Yeah the motion sickness stuff goes away in a couple days. It’s just your eyes adjusting. Lay down if you need to and enjoy your new 1080p HD vision!

Yeah I went on 2 walks/hikes and only almost faceplanted over roots like a few times! Definitely got a little queasy when there was a Lot happening around me but otherwise it was relatively fine and my eyes are starting to adjust already.

Thank you to everyone for the reassurances! Glasses gang unite!

Me, the past 4 hours trying to write: what the fuck why everything so blurry fucking hell-

My glasses on my night stand: Gurl.

my voice started changing SO fast on T like the first changes i noticed were around three weeks and now it's been like six-ish weeks on 0.3 (a pretty low dose) and my voice is noticably deeper and cracking when i try to pitch it too high. really wasn't expecting this to happen for like a year im really pleased :)

it's rly rly funny to like. have The Transgender Glasses (either the plastic tortoise shell round frames, the clear plastic round frames, or the harry potter round wire frames) and be like hmmm i gotta stop having the same glasses as every single other he/they what would be really different. maybe like the 2000s sort of narrower rectangular/oval frames??? and then realizing all the he/theys are also wearing those now, probably because we all had the same thought of oof time to change it up.

[collecting--stardust]

TIL that my right eye had gone haywire and shit

[arctic-hands]

Getting your payment a day early but being unable to pay rent that's due tomorrow because your phone is in the repair shop for who knows how long (they closed today still having my phone) and your bank's site never works on your desktop for some reason

[thats-how-i-like-it]

I just got one of my wisdom teeth removed 👍 (and I got my new glasses!!)

[twopercentboy]

Have you ever hand once hand over one eye and had them both open?

Because of course I can still see forqard, but you're there too

Hazy and unfocused but still ever-present

and if I don't want to see the world

I can see you instead

and that's a world I can see with my eyes wide shut

PoetAnon

this is so cute 🥺 I do find it a little funny bc I read the first line and all I could think of was going to the optometrist bc of having glasses since I was 3 or 4 😭 "put ur hand over ur left eye and read the smallest line, okay now switch 😁"

anyway very relatable I do a similar thing at night when I'm trying to sleep giggle

also this is much more side tangent but I do this thing when I'm reading in bed where one eye ends up blocked (sometimes accidentally by a pillow sometimes intentionally covered) so my other does all the work to read (it's usually easier to read w just that eye too) and I recently realized that the eye that ends up covered is my weaker eye and that my eyesight in that eye has gotten worse the last couple years (and the other has gotten better) so now I'm very aware of that habit and the way it affects my vision (it also makes those eye patches they made me wear as a kid make a lot more sense)

point is (I don't think I had an actual point) a world that I can see clearly with my eyes wide anything is so foreign, it's always hazy and unfocused 🤭

[terranatior]

Frustrated that this appointment has taken over an hour now but the staff is being soooo sweet and nice and obviously I don't begrudge any of them but just. Rattles the bars of 2023 doctor offices.

[lynn-tged-posting]

tged webtoon ep 154 spoilers n thoughts n all that yeah

.

HE DID THE THING HE DID THE >:3 THING YESS YAYYYY YAYAYAYAYY HAHAHAHAA

GOD HES SO FUCKING SILLY WAHAHAHA

jesus christ running from the cops every which way LMAO i really like their faces here javier w exasperation and lloyd just. being him

AND THE UGLY COSPLAYER BIT WHAT 😭 HELP LOL?? i guess cosplayers walking around isnt really a common thing in korea idk i feel like. they didnt really commit an offense until lloyd tried bribing that cop guy lol

like it makes me think back to dkc and how michael and the other guy (I FORGOT HIS NAME SORRY) went to seoul for a bit and kind of caused several accidents and i feel like that fits better w getting the cops attention compared to,,, rummaging thru trash? but also i am not familiar w korea's police system! nor do i know their policies on foreigners n whatnot so who am i to say yknow

i also really really wish that besides the cop chasing, we got to see a lil bit more of javier's reaction to seoul and its citizens, the clothing and the culture and how the buildings look, what does he think of them? whats his feelings on an environment so dissimilar to his own, and does he notice anything abt it that reminds him of lloyd and his sudden acquisition of all his knowledge? maybe theres more of that in the webnovel,,, itll be a while before i get there tho unfortunately

anyways thoughts aside more reacting

UUUAGHHHH JAVIER NOTICING EVERY SINGLE TIME LLOYD APPEARS SICK OR UNWELL BUT LLOYD BRUSHING IT OFF. EXPLODES INTO TEN BILLION PIECES. AAGHH AAGHHHH AAGHH screaming crying god that engineer needs a god damn hug

also them in civilian clothes! they look so dorky lmao the hats r super cute tho AND I REALLY LIKE THAT JAVIER HAS GLASSES THATS SO SILLY how can he see though wouldn't it be like vaguely blurry . most glasses are prescription,,, tho they did find this stuff discarded so maybe theyre just,,, decorative??? do people still wear decorative glasses???

i have more thoughts on their attire but it coincides with some thoughts i have for the latter half of this ep so i'll bring it up then!

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE EPISODE THE MOUNTAIN TRAIL AAGHHH AAAHHH

i started tearing up oh my FUCKING god i feel so insane ohhhhhhhh ohhhhhhh my heart ohhghhh

trying to keep his bluff up all the way through even though he's visibly struggling im gonna throw up im gonna throw up

most if not all the panels in this latter half of the episode make me feel like this so i'll try not to be repetitive and jump straight into my thoughts LMAO

i think the way lloyd is drawn in these panels is really, REALLY well done, and not in just an "oh the art looks good" kind of way, but the choices they make with the posing and the camera angle makes me feel insane

because the moment we cut to the shot where they're on the trail, we do not see lloyd's entire face at ALL. the most we see is his nose and mouth, and that makes my heart squirm like a motherfucker, because who else did we see that way in the webtoon?

kim suho, all the way at the beginning.

we don't actually get to know suho's face until way, way later in the webtoon adaptation, which is once he's way more secure in his position as lloyd frontera

so seeing this,,, it's like we're thrown back to then, it's like LLOYD is thrown back to then, back to when he was just suho kim; someone who thought of himself as nothing, as someone who just couldn't function correctly in this world, and god does my heart ache

and lloyd right now feels it too, the anxieties he once had coming right back. and i think that makes the clothing choices for lloyd specifically really impactful too, specifically upper body

the blue poloshirt is eerily reminiscent of the blue tracksuit suho used to wear, and it's the layer underneath a green jacket with a collar similar to lloyd's usual coat. it's like a reminder to the reader that once upon a time, he was just suho wearing lloyd's mask in a strange, new world. i think this experience is a reminder of that to suho, too,,,

also, the bucket hat is able to cover most if not all of his hair. in some of these panels, you can't even tell that it's lloyd underneath. it might not be the same body, with the way the camera is positioned, especially with some of them being from javier's point of view, it's like,,, "who is speaking right now? the face of lloyd frontera, or the heart of suho kim?"

and in the middle of this, we hear javier speak and ask suho if he hated his behavior, blamed himself for his anxieties, and only then do we get to see one of his eyes, but just one.

idk if the timing of this is intentional (i dont know if ANY of this direction is intentional) but id like to think that javier responding in search of clarification (rather than responding in silence or in disgust) helped suho be a little more inclined to opening up and being honest with who he was in this world. i really really like that

AND THIS ARGHHH ARGHHH AAAHHHHH ROLLING AROUND ON THE FLOOR LIKE A PILLBUG HAVING A SEIZURE AGHHHH

it makes it so so telling that he's the type to live for others, he always has been, to the point of being a workaholic. a quiet, good kid, trying to make amends for the struggles he has by burdening himself with the responsibility of protecting his parents names, of protecting the people he loved. he's done that since the beginning and he keeps doing that over and over and over, both here on earth and there in lorasia.

it makes me so upset (in a character drive way! not in a "this is bad" way) that he thinks of himself as nothing without this responsibility, when this ability to move forward and endure and fight for people is something beautiful in and of itself. it's not every day that you meet people like this, selfless and hardworking and tenacious to their core. back then he encapsulated his identity based on his inability to function in a world that requires social and physical interaction - something that isn't his fault! - and while he was able to move past that in lorasia, he was thrown back to this encapsulation once in seoul. he started to think of himself as "suho in lloyd's body" again, instead of "i am lloyd frontera" as he said before his "bluff" failed. MY HEART HURTS.

and i think that's why javier's concluding note, that in the knights eyes he is just the same person, is so impactful too.

because javier doesn't see lloyd based on his anxiety. he sees him for who he is. someone who protects the people he cares about. someone who is brilliantly cunning, quick on his feet, rational and brave and tenacious tenacious tenacious. for all the things suho admitted to javier, these truths haven't changed for the knight. he's the same person.

javier sees a guardian. javier sees kim suho.

AND THAT is what gets suho to his feet and we finally see his full face again. AND OOHHHH THE LOOKS THEY GIVE EACH OTHER AGHHHH AHHH

the marks of tears streaked on his face but he's smiling with so much renewed energy and javier softly smiling back IM GONNA THROW UPPPP THESE TWO MEAN THE WORLD TO MEEEE AHHHHHH AAAAAAHHHHHH

exploding. exploding. exploding. exploding. exploding.

anyway that's all (for now. if you see me on twitter i might still be agonizing over this /pos) i will SEE YOU NEXT WEEK! i hope we get a cool view from namsan tower and javier reacting to that that'd be nice :3 ANYWAYS BYE

pharmacy tips from a pharmacy technician:

if you live in the US, check to see what your state laws are for emergency refills (there are multiple tables with multiple updates, ctrl+f to see your state)

if you have a drug that can't have refills (so you have to get a new rx every time you fill), ask your prescriber if you can get multiple prescriptions queued. ex: sending in 2 prescriptions for adderall at once, but with one saying "do not fill until 09/01/2024" on it. idk if every state allows this (and some prescribers might say no anyway), but it may be worth asking

dick pills are so common. they are so so common. the cute lady handling your tadalafil has already filled 5 others today for people younger than you. its mundane job shit. it wont be weird unless you make it weird

google often tells you how busy a pharmacy is hour-by-hour. if you think there might be weird shit with your insurance, youre likely to get more attentive care if the techs arent doing 6 things at once. if you need the full attention of multiple techs and the pharmacist crowding around the computer, youre far more likely to get that during a slow hour

we know what goodrx is. we know this. i get why youre upset, i really am sorry, but if i say i've run it through the discount, i have. i am not getting kickbacks from the manufacturer, and have no incentive to lie and jack up the price. its worth asking why exactly insurance isnt covering it tho, cause maybe itll cover a smaller day supply or similar drug.... maybe

if youre worried that your family member may be stealing your drugs (via picking them up on your behalf and not telling you), ask the tech to make a note saying not to sell it to anyone other than you (or any other exception you wanna make). their system may also be able to send you texts whenever your meds are picked up

if you just got out of the hospital with an opioid script, ask if you can get it as a physical copy instead of them faxing it to somewhere. you cant transfer those to other pharmacies after its been sent, they would have to rewrite one for you. some places have opioids in time-locked safes and cannot fill them after certain hours, but if you have a physical copy you can just take it somewhere else
