sometimes when chronically ill/disabled/neurodivergent people say “I can’t do this thing” they really mean “I can technically do this thing I guess, but not without pretty significant repercussions” and I really need more fully-abled people to understand the validity of that

I know its kind of silly to say “don’t feel bad for canceling because of pain, fatigue, etc” because I know guilt is a reflex you can’t easily refrain from. But you can reason with yourself so instead I’ll say this:

Nobody can feel what you’re feeling but you. Nobody knows the severity of what you would be putting yourself through if you were to “tough it out.”

If you do “tough it out,” the purpose for you doing the thing will most likely not be fulfilled anyway. You probably will not be mentally present or engaged. You probably will not have a good time or get much out of it. Etc.

If people really have such a problem with it, thats a huge red flag. Being transparent about your needs and boundaries is a great way to weed people like that out of your life.

If you have any kind of chronic illness or disability, remember that you probably have a very warped judgement of what is “reasonable” to endure in terms of pain, fatigue, burnout, etc.

You didn’t ask for this, you don’t deserve this, there is no reason you should have to bear the weight of it alone. I bet if someone else was in your position, you wouldn’t mind helping accommodate for them?

Low energy days are truly sacred, take them seriously. Please respect your body’s signals. “If you do not choose times to rest, your body will choose for you” or however the saying goes

It is so much pressure to have to deliberate what sacrifices are necessary for proper self care. Give yourself extra credit for having to deal with that stress on top of whatever is putting you in that position in the first place. Thats a lot at once

You are leading by example and showing others that you would never expect them to hurt or overextend themselves for your benefit. Putting yourself first always inspires other to do the same.

Please be proud of yourself for even considering canceling and putting your needs first. That is so strong of you <3

Some say that Edwin may not remember much of what his face looks like since he died in 1916. He may have seen his reflection in Limbo's Lobby, but even more heartbreaking, he most definitely knows what his face looks like when he sees the dead bodies of his last selves.

For the majority of his existence, Edwin has mostly seen his face as lifeless.

[Spoilers for K-POP Demon Hunters!!]

The Aftermath of Rumi and Celine’s Relationship (Headcanon)

Listen, I’m supposed to go to bed while writing this headcanon idea BUT this has been stuck in my head and I need this to be a thing (any writers wanna make a fic on this idea, I would love that. 😭)

So, with the ending of K-POP Demon Hunters I had a lot of questions I want answered. Praying for a sequel or some kind of continuation, but Celine and Rumi’s relationship was a big one.

After Rumi’s confrontation with Celine, I wondered what happened to their relationship after Huntrix saved the world. Celine still insisted Rumi’s demon powers could be “fixed” when it’s not something she or anyone can change.

I think Rumi and Celine wouldn’t be talking for a while, reasonably so with Celine’s words and having her suppress and be ashamed of who she was since childhood. But I do feel like Celine would self-reflect a lot, with seeing Rumi even after defeating Gwi-Ma yet still carrying the markings. She wouldn’t 100% let go of her reluctance to accept Rumi’s demon heritage but would be more conflicted, particularly in regards to everything she knew as a Demon Hunter and the complexity of her old friendship with the Sunlight Sisters splitting.

Rumi, I’d imagine, she’d go no contact at least for awhile. She would take that time to let herself take in her new self, letting go of that shame but also would still be mourning Jinu. She would still be processing it, talking to him late at night on the balcony like he could still hear her.

Her friends support her 100% and with finally opening up herself to them, Mira and Zoey would be conflicted with Celine. They probably would call or end up talking with her, main one being Mira. It makes a lot of sense given her conflict in the movie, but Mira would most logically be Rumi’s support on this having been in a toxic family herself and never being accepted for who she was by them.

When seeing Celine after a while, Celine would be awkward and try making conversations with Mira on how Rumi is doing as she respects not trying to call her when she wanted her space.

Mira would be blunt, on how Rumi has been doing lately but she gets into on why Celine thought hiding the truth of Rumi’s heritage would help. Not only as Rumi’s close friend, but having been around Celine for training and never being aware because Rumi was conditioned by Celine to keep this part of her hidden. Just having the one who raised her making the decision to keep this secret from them and planting it into Rumi’s head that her friends, her team wouldn’t accept her.

Just imagine the deep tension from that, UGHH I NEED MORE CONTENT RIGJT NOWW— 😭😭
