some people on this site have no idea what it’s like to face consequences over their actions and it shows. like. it’s bullshit. they get to walk all over people because they happen to be “popular” or have “good graphics/formatting”. a lot of the people on this site pretend to be the victim or goodie goods when they’re really the reason some of us are scared to branch out— the reason we have terrible ptsd induced trauma.

hi. I’m still alive (mostly).
still moving stuff from one apartment to the next. It sucks. Everything is a mess. I hate stairs and, for some reason, boxes of books are very heavy.
now I get why they call these the dog days of summer, because this shit is ruff 😰
#I’m dyin here#I won’t but I have def thought about just wheeling everything out to the dumpster and starting over with nothing#which is a no go but ya know… it’s a nice thought#have to be officially out of the old place by the 1st and I just feel so overwhelmed#it’s the stairs. I hate them#I’m so used to a first floor apartment. you just unload your boxes onto a dolly and roll them inside. easy.#but having to carry/drag/whatever boxes of books and dressers up stairs is killing me#I hate stairs!#my therapist was suggesting I go get a gym membership to help buff up which is….#good idea in general ya know. exercise. good for body and mind. but that won’t help me THIS WEEK#so for right now I’m a soft weak and struggling to get situated#and I’ve just been feeling very melancholic lately. just week and sad and a big bummer#and tumblr still isn’t really hitting that spot ya know?#nothing really interesting on here for me lately 🫤#but anyway… okay… yeah… that’s my complaining for you. you’re welcome#I’m not going back to fix any of those spelling errors. y’all aren’t even reading this. blegh#I love you. goodbye forever.#you can ignore this#text

I remember one of the most influential moments I had on my body image while living in Japan.
One Saturday afternoon, my Japanese coworker and I went out to lunch, and as we left the buffet, stuffed to satisfaction, she said, “I shouldn’t have eaten so much. I’m already the fat one in my family.”
I was distracted thinking about something else, and I thought she was joking, so I made a noncommittal kind of noise. I’d only been in Japan for half a year at that point, and I was already tired of the extensive fat-shaming almost everyone took part in, so I just disconnected whenever it started.
Then I glanced at her and realized she was serious. She had a self-deprecating half-smile, and she didn’t seem to be setting me up for one of those, “No, but you’re so pretty,” responses. She was just stating a fact. This person, who probably couldn’t have pinched more than a pinky’s width of fat anywhere on her body, was ashamed of her size.
Meanwhile, I was twenty-three and deeply, profoundly hated my body. Back then, I would have given most anything to be her size.
And in that moment, I realized: it’ll never be enough.
No matter how petite, how skinny, how svelte, how toned, how whatever. The societies many of us live in profit off of the desperation of mass misery, and no amount of dieting would ever give me a pass from that misery. If I was thin, there’d be some other issue to “fix”, like “weird elbows” or something else that I haven’t even thought about because no one’s had the opportunity to tell me how much it costs to adjust it yet.
I realized in a mall on a Saturday that the joy I’d been chasing had to come from disengaging from the whole chase, not from changing my body.
And I mean, I’m not totally there yet, even over a decade later. It’s difficult to love what you’re repeatedly told is wrong about yourself, and I hated my body for much longer than I’ve been actively trying to love it. I cling to offhand compliments about my looks, and I feel a twinge of guilt whenever I enjoy the “wrong” foods, and I fantasize about how much easier or happier life would be if I looked the way my coworker looked then.
But at least I know to my core that it will never be enough for them. No size, no shape, no degree of perfection will ever be enough for the societies and cultures I’ve lived in that judge one’s morality by one’s body. Relatives of mine in the States over the holidays tortured themselves with “I was being so good so far” and “I’m going to be bad tonight” and it’s just so pointlessly cruel that we’re set up to think this way about ourselves.
I made a lemon-glaze cake over the holidays, and almost no one ate it because so many people were dieting.
I did, though.
I just love the irony that living in a culture so rigid about weight actually freed me somewhat from the chase for an impossible goal. I bought diet pills as a teenager, and I couldn’t believe as recently as last week that a woman I was attracted to was hitting on me, but at least I know I’m in this snow globe now, and it makes breaking out of it easier.
Since university, I’ve been committed to exercising to gain muscle because I wanted to lose weight. But now I do it mainly because I like the strength and the flexibility that comes along with it. My weight’s never hurt me or my immune system or any aspect of my life. My brain did that, and my brain was just reacting to a lifetime of fear-mongering.
It will never be enough until you disengage from the chase.
#this is somewhat about sammy’s ig post but it’s been on my mind for years#the beauty standards in asia hurt so many people#relentlessly#i’m a strong supporter of plastic surgery and body modification in general#if you’re an adult you get to have agency over your body and your life#you should be able to get tattoos or piercings or breast reductions or whatever you want to feel comfortable in your skin#but when that desire comes from a place of shame that you were forced to live with#then it’s cruel#this isn’t really about sammy#i just feel sad for the young fans who look like sammy and admired her for being someone famous and charismatic who looked like them#the entertainment industry can be so impersonal and merciless

There always seems to be one kid who just screams like a tornado siren, all day long, at any given opportunity. Like, kid, I love you, you are precious and deserve all the happiness in the world; but please for the love of god shut up. There are people trying to learn here and you’re not helping them or yourself.
#I don’t like being harsh with people in general but if one child is raising the tension in the room to a fever pitch every single day#making it incredibly hard for the kids who are trying really really hard to focus when they already have focus issues#and because I know this specific kid gets absolutely spoiled rotten at home and is allowed to do whatever they want#you know… sometimes it helps to show the kid how they sound to others by demonstrating the obnoxious nature of The Scream#because when the parents do Jack Shit about teaching their kid discipline and courtesy; you have to be a parent in their stead#But do NOT continue to scream. You are an adult with adequate emotional control. Screaming should be be done EXTREMELY sparingly#and only utilized for demonstration purposes or to stop a brawl; not for bullying or intimidation#Don’t do a JoJo Siwa and TRY to make kids cry even though you may get stressed enough that you want to escalate on purpose#Again: you are an adult with adequate emotional control; don’t escalate unless the overreaching plan is to deescalate#if eliciting a startle response will stop harmful behavior and “snap them out of it” for long enough for you to get through#or if they just need to let all their emotions out at once so they can lose enough of that high energy to think critically#then sure#but you have to guide them back down very carefully and calmly; it’s a precise science#Don’t be mean about it; be genuine in your feelings and don’t go overboard. Genuine ≠ mean unless you’re evil#Or if you don’t feel emotions very strongly (like I do) then react like a “normal” person. Lie about being angry or sad if it is appropriat#Again: Your goal should not be to get the kid to do what you want; the goal should be to get them to feel good enough#so they are ABLE to do it in the first place#And the goal should also be to show them how their actions affect others if they are not aware of it#“Teach a man to fish” and all that. Don’t always check them; get them to check themselves#If a kid hits another kid when they’re angry at something completely unrelated; then 1.) redirect destructive behavior#and 2.) walk them back over to the kid they hurt and say:#“Look at [name]; look how sad you made them. [name] didn’t do anything to you#It’s okay to be angry but we CANNOT hit people when we are angry because it hurts and makes them cry.” Works great#Always remember there is a power imbalance inherent in EVERY child-adult relationship and NEVER abuse it#And if you’re not patient or emotionally stable enough to work with or have children; then don’t. Please don’t.#Children are not cute little dolls to play dress-up with; nor are they perfect angels; nor are they your personal stress ball#Having children is NOT A GAME. They are PEOPLE who will grow to be your age one day and everything you do affects them#Sorry I’m just tired of all these parents who shove iPads in their kids faces so they don’t bother them. You’re giving them an addiction

#listen I think I have a right to experience A Lot of annoyance over all this because I had to see ‘criticisms’ like that so often#this is a particularly hilarious one the same level as the people complaining about Daisy and Billy being the only ones on the Aurora cover#(there are changes with the shoot but them being the only two on the cover is the same as in the book lmao ya’ll can not read apparently#‘it’s an insult to the message of the book because it’s supposed to be the whole band on the cover and not just the Billy and Daisy show uw#you are talking about the scene in the book where the entire band in interview is mad/bitter about how they ended up going with only DB#on the cover even years later while Daisy and Billy in their interviews gush over how gorgeous and iconic the cover featuring just them is#like … ya’ll are conflating a general sentiment those chars were allowed to express with what the actual scene was grrr#it’s one of the best funniest parts of the book too like I love that part…#and if the complaint was ‘I’m sad the other interviews weren’t as extensive at that part in the show’ totally would be valid crit to me#I would have liked them to show everyone reacting in interviews too (they did show them esp Eddie be unhappy about it but#your right there wasn’t as much specific exploration in the show of how the side chars were effected. But they’re still side chars with sid#plots in the book lol#also only Karen actually deserves to be explored as a char the rest I’m more than fine with getting less and then instead investing far mor#in developing Simone’s plot and arc.)#there’s stuff with Graham I do think could have been useful/worth while thematically if they’d had the 13eps and could do it all (and I’m a#Graham hater xd) but I certainly wouldn’t prioritize it over the things the show did focus on#and it’s not remotely high on my list of things they didn’t focus on as much as I wanted. ofc#in fact like I said… I thought it was so funny they did not gaf about the Dunne brothers relationship 😭#like it is an interesting dynamic in the book there are good scenes. but I’m obsessed with their choice to not give anything to any of#Billy’s dynamics that aren’t the love triangle points and Teddy. respectable af#vs Daisy and to a lesser extent Camila both have way more developed dynamics outside of him incred#(another reason ‘they made Daisy and Camila center around Billy’ crit makes me roll my eyes#like in the sense that the love triangle is elevated in terms of focus sure. and people are free to have qualms about that choice#basically saying the show prioritized the romance for the characters and char work is accurate. saying they did that more for the girls and#less for Billy idk what show you were watching

this Tylenol ain’t shit w
#talkingcore#emotions. man.#there’s so much music that I just haven’t listened to in a bit and it’s making me feel things it’s not even like sad things I’m like damn#how long has it been since I’ve listened to beautiful stranger by Madonna as featured in Austin powers international man of mystery#but also something in my brain feels like it needs to cry like I don’t feel like I physically can but something needs to be released#so do I go pet sounds? smile? falsettos? I feel like I need to be in a sleeping bag and Contemplate#fun fact! Kendra Morris has an absolutely stunning cover of don’t talk (put your head on my shoulders)#I’m pretty neutral on beach boys covers tbh I’m never crazy about them since like they really never measure up#how many mid covers of god only knows can I take? not many. but like she & him have their little Brian Wilson tribute I like that.#the covers are a lot better when they don’t try to perfectly replicate whatever the fuck Brian Wilson was doing they aren’t him#brain wants to go melancholy mode but I’ve no clue over what. girl just tell me what I’m supposed to be sad over I’ll commit to the bit#need to keep listening to new stuff but also need old stuff Maybe that’s it maybe I just need old stuff again? like routine?? shit idk#also like at 5 am I woke up and remembered how in choir people kept comparing me to the director they had the year before me#and the thing is she had the same name as someone else in choir that was student teaching my first semester so I kept thinking they were#referring to her Id be in my choir fit my silly suit my proud butch uniform and they’d be like oh this is so ‘insert name’!#and it kept throwing me off because the student teacher was like. not like me at all so I was like fuck#what kind of girl core energies am I accidentally emitting this is Bad. so anyway 5 am I’m like fuck it I need to research this person#I search. find her. she’s butch. I’m blessed. they weren’t lying like man we do such a good job at being generic! yay!#butch And in choir! love to see it! keep thinking how I am destined to be like in my 40s doing mundane tasks#I’m gonna be soooooo good at watering plants and putting salt on the sidewalk before it snows and cleaning drains#need to be a dad mom so fucking bad you don’t get it I need to drive carpool and take off work for dentist trips and watch hgtv#AHHHH i think that got rid of some of the sad lfg💥💥💥💥this must be super long god damn sorry

#welp folk this is it i guess it was an amazing tour filled with amazing moments and I’ll be forever grateful that I got to see them twice#but the emptiness of their calendar kinda describes the emptiness I’ll be feeling once I’ve fully realized that this is it for the next few#years but I’m glad the boys are getting their well deserved break and hopefully they’ll be back rather sooner than later#mr schwarz finally doesn't have to stay strong for the crew anymore. he can take his rest#feel like the general mood is that the band and co are glad they can rest now but also sad that the adventure is over#or so it seems wegen looking at their faces and posts from tonight and the last weeks#just like us we’re sad they are gone and the car left the car park but also happy for them to catch up on some z’s

I think you might have talked about this before, but #3 for Pallas, for the pride month themed oc asks?
3. How did your oc discover themself? Did something cause them to question, or did they always know?
oooo ok so i think i’ve posted an excerpt from the actual book about Pallas Gender Stuff (tldr is they got the experience of being blissfully ignorant to the concept of gender as a kid until they became Aware it was a capital-C Concept and then everything felt wrong) so i wanna ramble a bit about their aro-aceness since i haven’t really gotten the opportunity to do that yet lol.
i don’t think it was something they always knew necessarily, but especially their lack of romantic attraction was always something they were vaguely aware of. when they were really little they were definitely a kid that went ‘ewwww’ and made a face whenever anyone talked about kissing. in general they just never found romance interesting in the way they found basically everything else interesting. like. why do these characters keep staring at each other can we get back to politics please this has literally nothing to do with the plot why is it important this is so boring. i think they were in the boat of fully thinking that romance and being horny were things made up in stories to add drama until people around them started experiencing it, which is when the Realization hit and they actual started to question that aspect of their identity.
#pallas looked at gender and sexuality and went what if i Didn’t actually#i think in many ways realizing they were aroace was a lot more difficult and alienating for them than the gender stuff#and it took them much longer to figure out#i try to be reeeaally careful in text with how i approach pallas’s identity in general bc i’m very aware that there’s a stereotype around#both nb and aspec characters being cold and calculating and inhuman. especially since dehumanization is something that’s very very relevant#to pallas and their background and general psychology. idk if that makes sense but i try to make it clear that pallas doesn’t think of#themself as a human person bc of the deep-seated psychological damage and not bc they happen to be ace and nonbinary. if anything those#aspects of their identity are some of the most human things about them??#and they’re actually some of the things about them that they’re the most protective over if that makes sense.#many many pallasthoughts on this night. thinking specifically about a bit in a scene i wrote where the director calls them by their name#(their name. their name the one they chose for themself) instead of just their library alias and everything else about the interaction is#awful and they feel awful but hearing that they can’t help but feel happy and just. augh.#sorry for the tag essay my own character makes me SAD ok#wip: ghost story#creme gets an ask

I’m realizing I’ve taken the “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” to heart. It is a… weird realization to have. I’m fairly content with it though, so it’s kinda weird to suddenly become self aware of it.
#Blep revelations#I can’t remember a single time getting sad or upset over someone saying some bullshit to me#I can get angry at someone for saying soemthing but anger isn’t really hurting me so????#I kinda just view it all as#wow! that is definety your opinion!#but I don’t really give a shit about you! so I’m be polite and give a small reaction and then move on with my day!#but if it pisses me off then it’s like#*silently staring at you*#I’m not dealing with this bullshit#fuck out and your ancestors#I’m getting a Starbucks#and I generally try to avoid them

my coworker at my new job who was planning to leave at the end of the summer might actually stay until the end of the year! which is great bc I’m really getting along with him and I was sad that he was leaving so soon after I started but now he may just. stay in town and keep working lol
#in related news I was removed from my shift at the job today and moved over to the print shop#bc they’re in the same building run by the same general manager#and two of the three people working at tue print shop today aren’t here#so the general manager just came over to the bookshop and was like ‘hey you’re working at the print shop for the rest of the day’#which. like it’s not the end of the world bc it’s not busy so I’m just sorta chilling#and the manager isn’t here to micromanage us#but I was also vibing with the guys at the bookstore and it was sad to have to cut that short#oh well. I work tomorrow so I’ll see them then ig

evil brain your life ends 17 days from now
#post#knowing the reasons behind the terrible terrible thoughts does not in fact banish them#sad but true…#two weeks… I gotta make it two weeks (a little over that I suppose)#I was over the moon last time as soon as I woke up so I’m hoping for the same again#or at least I will have a different hammer for my brain to kill me with. spice it up a little#I also just feel like chronic pain in general will take you to depths even the devil wouldn’t dare tread#whereas the acute pain of healing is a welcome distraction with an end state that’s more or less predictable

#feeling oddly unhappy right now#like there’s an ache in my chest and I feel desperate for some kind of distraction in general#I mean I might just need more sleep because I am fairly exhausted right now#but God I just feel horribly lonely and sad and pathetic right now#I’m still bothered and disappointed that bestie cancelled our concert plans and I also still kinda feel like his reason for it was a lie#I don’t really get to talk to my partner much unless we’re able to actually be together like when I’m at work or we make specific plans#we just don’t seem to have much to say over text and they’re not very responsive because they often forget to reply in the first place#easier to just send silly memes and videos and quick things rather than actually trying to talk#feel like even if I did need to talk to them it’d be a 50/50 bet on actually getting a reply#and I just feel really alone and like no one really has time for me or cares to put in much effort#and logically I know that isn’t true and I’ve been a lot better lately with my mental health and staying afloat and everything#but things have been getting a little worse lately and I feel like I’m slipping these past few days#I don’t really know what to do right now#and I’m overstimulated because my dad has a nurse here helping with wound care and of course they’re talking but my dog is also just whining#whining and crying and making constant noise because she wants to be part of things and get attention#and I think it’s just too much for me right now because I want everything to turn off for a while#maybe I’ll just hide under my blankets for a bit once the nurse leaves#try and make it through the rest of this day#sigh#personal

#i actually think the complete and utter radio silence on yoongi is helping me not to miss him so much? as weird as that sounds#idk i have this weird thing where even if i love someone so so so much and we’re far away for a long time. i don’t miss them unless#something makes me actively think about them for an extended amount of time#(like think about their absence not just them in general)#like for example i moved out of my parents’ over 2 years ago and i’m only just now starting to actually. MISS them#as in i get sad when i think about them and i actively desire to go back home and see them#and the reason for that is theres a lot of changes in my near future and thinking about them inevitably leads to thinking about my parents#anyway all this to say that. seeing occasional updates from hobi and jinie is so lovely but it might also be why missing them hurts so much#whereas theres nothing to really. remind me of yoongi’s absence so it just kinda feels like normal and like i dont even need to miss him#at least for now#god i do miss him though it’s just different#idk. idk. my emotions don’t work right so idk#aeron.txt
