i'm halfway through this ask meme abt ravenstan staying at the broflovski house for the great hate south park embark and i cannot tell you how much it thrills me that rm!sheila went from hating ravenstan's guts and being like "you are the reason my family is in ruin; you destroyed our lives" to being like *pinches stan's cheek preciously* “this is orev :) and he's my lil matok sheli superstar <3" ft. stan beaming and her constantly mom-whacking jerseykyle with the kochlefl and reprimanding him for 'letting her son in law get away' like not even Raven Of Crimson Dawn but her Literal SON IN LAW.
anyways...branch in my EYE.

now that the elation of being on-paper sick has worn off i'm back to getting my feelings hurt by innocent posts. anyway someday within the next few months i'm gonna be on a bunch of prednisone or other steroids and then i'm gonna do all my dishes and clean my whole house and go swimming and do my job and fix my life and it's okay that i fucking suck at doing any of those things now because i have a debilitating physical disability.
snide posts about how depressed people need to put on their big-boy pants and take care of themselves are not actually about me because what i am contending with is not depression. what i am contending with is a progressive disease that destroys my muscles, skin, joints, and potentially lungs kidneys and brain. that is not the same as being too sad to get up and wash a dish.
generalized spoonie advice and outlooks feel too optimistic or out-of-touch or non-applicable to me because they aren't applicable to me because what i am contending with is not an average spoonie experience. it is a specific progressive disease that destroys my muscles, skin, joints, and potentially lungs kidneys and brain.
if i feel bad and need to rest and don't pull my weight in my relationships it's because i need to wait to be treated with steroids and in the meantime i just need to hold on. i am not required to do anything else to take care of myself. my body is eating itself with a condition that has a high rate of fatal complications and literally my only job is not to die.
my only job is not to die. that is the only thing i need to do right now. any posts saying that people need to do anything else for self-care or for being a good person or for having healthy relationships are not applicable to me, because my circumstances are highly specific. healthy people need to take steps to better their lives. people like me need to rest until our doctors can help us because overtaxing ourselves might kill us.
a depressed person being too sad and hopeless and miserable to get up is being lied to by their brain. my brain is not lying to me when it tells me that i need to rest because my body is on fire.
my only job right now is not to die.

I think that Blazblue's story is just a lot of reading and once you do all that reading it's complicated but not as bad at people say. And it just tends to have the reputation of being impossibly convoluted because people just playing fgs don't expect their story modes to require homework to understand and a lot of the spinoffs that contain said homework are inaccessible to people who don't understand Japanese, which aren't the fault of the story itself but rather just how things panned out in it's lifespan.

What is the most tragic thing that could've happened to Calzona? Arizona dies in the plane crash? Callie dies in the car crash? Arizona's injuries are so severe she's never able to operate again?
hm probably callie dying in any way. i think it would break arizona and she wouldn’t recover. especially if it was in the car crash. but really callie dying at all ruins arizona forever.
i think callie would be devastated by arizonas death but i think she would press on bc of sofia and would feel like arizona wouldn’t want her to be miserable all the time.
as for arizona never being able to operate again it’d be bad. like really bad. but maybe on some level it would take away the pressure. arizona can’t operate, can’t be her old self at all. so why even try? idk maybe it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world

That’s because it was a lie. The reason you can see seeds of Japril reunion is because that’s what it was supposed to be. Sarah drew pitched the crisis of faith storyline. She and Jesse were told they were going to use it to bring them back together, so that’s how they played it. But instead they used it to push the Maggie nonsense and write Sarah off. Unfortunately Jessica was collateral damage 😭 They were trying to be sneaky. That whole disrespect was the main reason so many quit GA and have never gone back.
I had to read this a couple of times before I realised you were responding to this post, Anon, because to be honest it's been so long (five years!) I had forgotten that I'd written it.
But yeah, you're right, and that was what I was trying to say in that post - that the writing of S14 made it incredibly obvious that the intention had been to bring Jackson and April back together and that they had then changed their minds (because Krista Vernoff came back as showrunner and she personally disliked the ship) and unpicked that storyline to try and make it work for the characters individually but didn't manage to pull it off. The basic story beats of that season are all about bringing them back to a place to try again in their relationship.
But like, it is what it is and Grey's has always been messy behind the scenes. At the very least we got the satisfication of a) April's explanation of her and Matthew's breakup being a very unsubtle critique of S14's writing and b) canon confirmation that Jackson and April did, in fact, get back together in Boston. Which is far better than many Grey's characters have been treated.
