It's nice not having to give my dog eye drops every 4 hours and waking up after only a few hours of sleep because he needs antibiotics in his eyes.
At the vets on Tuesday she seemed really surprised that it healed as much as it did from Thursday to Tuesday
And here I was beating myself up for missing two doses of his medication over the week. Obviously it's okay that he missed those two doses because his eye is healed mostly and now the vet said I can do the eye drops only twice a day, I'm probably going to do it more than that but it's so nice not having to do it six times a day
I'm still waking up at 4:00 in the morning though
#I literally gathered all of the money I had for the vet visit Tuesday#she said if there wasn't enough healing she was going to make a serum from his own blood and when I was looking it up it sounded expensive#And then the vet visit was the cheapest visit I've had in over a year#So I can have my little cushion of savings for the next medical problem my dog has#Or my cats that live with my mom#but it's so hard for Elliot to leave to house that he's going to have that dental that he's on the wait-list for#Whenever the time comes for that#other than that he is probably not going to leave the house until he dies#So it's mostly just my geriatric dog I have to be prepared for#My mom said she can help sometimes but after our last phone call I really don't want to ask#She's been crying a lot this last year or so because of how little she has for retirement#And I know she doesn't blame me for her being poor#But I do#I blame myself because it was the legal bills to keep custody and decision making over me that drained her#She had a decent retirement before my father destroyed her and she had a college fund for me#My father has said to me that he had "$100.000 before the court battles but it's his endless unecessary motions that ran the legal bills up#He decided it was more important to screw my mom over then to be a decent father and a decent human and save his own money#She had to skip a mortgage payments and lose her house and declare bankruptcy over it all to keep me#She borrowed money from her parents when she literally had no other options#to this day her sister says it doesn't matter what the money was for#but that my mom is lucky because she borrowed money from her parents and my aunt didn't get any money from parents#It was to keep me out of my father's hands so it does matter#My mom works so hard at a shit wage bc she needs the health insurance#She may never be able to retire because of my father bankrupting her#I can't ask her for help with my discounted bc I'm so poor vet bills#She's trapped in a dirty house and can't get out bc of the trauma#She can barely afford the maintenance the expensive things like having people come and trim all the trees so branches don't fall and#Collapse the roof of her house#That was such a tangent#I'm so fucking tired

was this anyone else's first thought, or
#art#twisted wonderland#twisted wonderland spoilers#anglerfish#YES hiking jade let's GO#send him up the mountain to look at some funky mushrooms#love how delicately he's holding his lantern with his little pinky out#ooh la la monsieur mastermind#now what are the odds we're getting gargoyle-club malleus next#probably not good but LOOK let me DREAM#i also very much want the equestrian club. GIVE ME HORSE BOYS#actually just give me everyone i want to see everyone#man though the june schedule looking pretty light over here in jp#which always makes me think something big is coming up...#whenever they pull a training camp on us it instantly sends my brain into overthinking mode#chances are good it's more main story though!#we've been averaging every-other-month story updates for a while now and the consistency is nice#i'm still not over the eight months between the end of episode 5 and the start of episode 6...#(IT'S FINE i want them to take all the time they need! i am just impatient)#(i will happily wait but i will be rolling around on the ground the entire time)

okay. letās talk about jayceās monologue, since people are calling him ableist.
for context, not that it matters: I have a significant mobility disability and a progressive chronic illness which, even when managed, can kill me. Iām not in exactly the same boat as viktor since my disease isnāt terminal, but Iāve had very similar experiences to him. this shapes my perception of him and of this storyline.
this is the monologue:
Youāve always wanted to cure what you thought were weaknesses. Your leg. Your disease. But you were never broken, Viktor. Thereās beauty in imperfections. They made you what you are. An inseparable piece of everything I admired about you.
first, it should be noted that āwhat you thought were weaknessesā is not the same thing as āthings that are good.ā jayce is not saying that viktorās disease is or was a good thing. what he is saying is that he admired (loved) everything that viktor was, which included the things viktor thought made him a burden or a problem. remember also that jayce almost doomed the world because he couldnāt let viktor die; he would never imply that viktor dying was a good thing.
the next question, then, is whether viktor sees himself as a burden or not. I think itās implied that he does ā itās certainly not unrealistic to think that viktor might have come to view himself, or at least his disease, as a burden and a flaw. disabled people often view ourselves that way either because of internalized ableism or because society constantly tells us that weāre burdens and that our bodies are abnormal and wrong. viktor displays behaviors that indicate internalized ableism, including hiding the fact that heās coughing up blood from jayce the first few times it happens and generally refusing to be in the public eye in a way that is self-effacing and not just him being private. yes, he says in act 1 of season 1 that he believes in himself, but he does also call himself a cripple in a dismissive way in that same scene; also, he doesnāt have the disease at that point. arguably the entire scene where he runs despite clearly being in pain is an example of his internalized ableism, but thatās another post.
more evidence for viktorās perception of himself being negative is that he clearly has a sense that he doesnāt deserve to be loved (specifically by jayce, but maybe also in general). we see this when he asks jayce why heās still persisting in saving him. we see this with his generally self-effacing behavior. we see this with the fact that in all of season 1, the only person he allows to touch him is jayce, and that the only person he actively touches in the entire show is jayce. viktor is reserved and not good with his emotions, which is a huge part of his arc this season. all of these behaviors point to him having a negative self-perception.
I think itās important to really consider how jayce perceives viktor and how viktor perceives himself. I donāt think this season handled everything perfectly, but I think they handled this very well. viktor has been written with a fullness and complexity that most disabled characters donāt ever get. him being morally grey doesnāt mean heās āproblematicā or ābad representation.ā obviously Iām only one disabled person, but I really love jayce and viktor and I think their story is beautifully written.
#arcane#arcane spoilers#jayvik#viktor arcane#jayce talis#whenever a new season of arcane comes out it spawns the most heinous discourse about ableism#Iām on chemo I donāt have the time for this. alas i care deeply about these animated pixels

ok someone please correct me if i'm wrong but am i weird for thinking those 'audiobooks don't count as reading' posts are ableist as fuck????
#ramble#my first thought was like: how is this even a debate what about blind people. not every book comes in braille but MOST have an audiobook#or dyslexic people#you still enjoyed the book!! you still absorbed it!!! you got EXACTLY the same thing as people who read the words!!!#how does it not count????#i guess you miss out on the 'learning new vocab' you get through seeing the words but also#i don't really do audiobooks but i do a lot of podcasts esp fiction podcasts#and i have ABSOLUTELY picked up new stuff from there that helps with my writing#someone please explain how this is even an argument of COURSE it counts????#idk in my opinion finishing a book means 'i put the words in my brain and i thought about them and i enjoyed a story'#not 'i held a stack of paper in my hands for a bit'#i'm v lucky that i do have time to sit and read. and whenever i commute anywhere it's public transport so i CAN bring a book with me#but if i didn't have the free time or had to drive for hours everywhere i would be STOKED to still get to enjoy books#it's been REALLY bothering me lmao idk why i feel so strongly#for some reason it's giving the same energy as like. being told you can't take a comic or manga from the library bc it's not a 'real' book#of course it's a real book it's a story somebody wrote down#i can see this spiralling into 'if you have a kindle you aren't reading'. you have to sniff the paper. feel the papercuts

january month of yuugi
#yugioh#ygo dm#yugi mutou#idk what was in the water on 2025 opening but it really got me thinking hm. I will finally draw yuugi#ygo has been in my dna for like close to a decade at this point and yet. I have never attempted to draw anything for it#until now. my audacity has finally reached quota#wishshipping saved my ass this lunar new year and its not even an exaggeration. thank you kazuki takahashi for the boys. rest in peace#mutou yuugi I love u.... u r my son#not mentioned in this stack but dsod's decision to thin yuugi's choker is the funniest shittiest character design decision on earth#like as a detail its so nothing. when u zoom out it just looks like a shadow dropped wrong somewhere. I have come to terms with#the other fashion choice for him in that movie but the tiny ass choker I don't accept. that's stupid. big it#I rly like the vision of older yuugi being like. obnoxiously polite and cheerful#specifically in a way that's not like ceding space for everyone else. like it's clear at all time that he's Like That#and nobody will be able to stop him from being Like That#and also tbh I can never imagine him leaving domino for long (<- definitely not projecting my city slicker ass on him)#I think the game shop's been where he's safe to be himself for so long that he'd want to keep it running and extend#that shade to other kids in the city too. his loyal customers are so scared of disappointing him for no reason#.... typed huge wall of text abt jou leaving domino for tournaments etc frequently but always coming back to hang out with yuugi#I am actually ill abt them huh.... maybe ygo was the progenitor honestly maybe it started me on the two blokes who do fuckall ships#yuugi is so cute but I do know in my heart tho he does Not cook. that kid has never learned and will never manage#I know he doesnt even have water in his office whenever he works. scared of spilling#its a good thing hes got friends galore now people are blowing his phone up wasting their sms toll telling him to drink water#(slowly tipping into mania) I just think he's so neat. love that boy he's so cute

Normal boy spotted.
[First]Ā PrevĀ <ā-> Next
#poorly drawn mdzs#mdzs#wei wuxian#wen wing#wen remnants#Wen ning#This scene felt like a bit of a fever dream. We have (with little to no comedic exaggeration):#1) WWX whistling and somehow summoning not one but several horses to his side.#2) meeting the surviving Wen sect members who insist on not leaving Wen Ning behind.#Only for it to cut back to Wen Ning ripping a guy in half. (Not pictured here. I tried so hard but I could not make it look good).#Personally I feel like we moved on way too fast from the horse thing. Where did they come from? WWX couldn't have brought them.#He *just* found out there were more people left behind.#So...are the from the Jing sect? Are these disloyal horses? Or does WWX have incredible animal charisma skills?#It feels a bit like a DND player asked to call in some horses and the DM said 'Sure if you roll well enough' and it was a natural 20.#Maybe this is just my own envy cutting through. God damn I wish I could whistle and summon a horse to my side whenever I needed to.#I know I should not be so hung up on the horses. But my brain is cooked. I have been so sick.#The kind of sickness that makes it hard to breathe. Or think. Or have any energy at all.#I wish I had good commentary to write here. I just...really want a nap. And for October to restart to make up for all the lost time.#Thank you all for being so kind and patient once again. It truly means a lot.

jing yuan, who loves when youāre wearing his clothes, and you return them to him. itās so domestic and simple but he craves it. (gn reader, not a serious drabble.) reader is characterized as smaller than jy, interpret as you wish.
wc: 470
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4586892269b00d809827fea9f9c9fd64/58e1d6fb424cf296-b5/s500x750/2c49b14760e5ad6dcb9a87350a839aeecd77be9e.jpg)
The clothes smell like you, of course. The laundry detergent you bought, your shampoo and the little scent beads you like to put in the washing machine. He doesnāt mind the musk that lingers on his old shirts after you clean the whole house, no of course not. Jing Yuan adores smelling your musk, lotion and conditioner melding together and melting into his shirt.
You go out to buy new scent beads every other month, a tiny little jar of them. Jing Yuan swears to anyone who listens that youāre doing this on purpose. Mixing your shampoo and lotion to match with the scent beads, changing the fabric softener to mess with his head (and laundry). He laments this to Fu Xuan, Qingzu, and Yanqing, who all beg you to stick to one routine before the General loses his sanity (of course, everyone groans and ignores him. theyāve had enough of his marital escapades, and they just tell him to marry you again if heās this smitten. Thus, after a decade of marriage, Jing Yuan has rewritten his vows.) He likes these little variances in his routine, the little harmless surprise that keeps him on his toes.
(He swears it's just because you picked it out. You know it's because it reminds him that there's finally a home for him to return to.)
"I'm back, do you know what the others said during the meeting, they were planning on handing off more paperwork, but I insisted mimi and you would--" He stops in his tracks. This must be unfair. Divine Punishment? Did he anger Lan? his ancestors?
Jing Yuan sees you wearing nothing but some socks, his shorts and t-shirt (both of which hang off of your smaller frame). He runs over, pace quickening.
You yelp quietly, backing away before he pounces onto you, bearing all of his weight onto you. He can't help it, you're so cute wearing his outfit, doing laundry and making dinner.
āYou smell so good.ā he buries his face into your neck, inhaling the sun on your skin, lotion he bought for you, and the conditioner you've taken from his stash.
āAnd you smell icky.ā You push him off gently, but his arms only tighten. He just got back from work, and he reeks of sweat. But you canāt ignore how your heart races whenever he gets up to these antics, and you canāt help but indulge in his whims.Ā
This is a regular habit. He barely removes his armor before running to you, and clings to you like a sullen child, asking about dinner and how his darling and mimi have been. You can only sigh and pat his head while he recharges in your lap (or, in Yanqingās words: naps.)Ā
"thank you, for everything," He whispers into your ear, "You're doing great, sweetheart."
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/da8c9f4a62a87a97a8967b616b562389/58e1d6fb424cf296-28/s500x750/40832a5c2f8ea7d447555eee28941ee4a478e503.jpg)
a/n: I was talking to a coworker abt how the only thing that brings me joy now is a 2d man (jy) and buying new scent beads/laundry scent boosters or sample perfume. then I had this idea. also that ending bit :,) sending good vibes to all with my first fic of the new yr!
#hsr x reader#honkai star rail x reader#koiāŖ#don't take this too seriously? I just got bored and thought of jy who rlly likes your scent#and domesticity#and domecisity#honkai star rail#jing yuan x reader#I do think that whenever it comes down to it#Jing Yuan is someone who just wants to build himself a home. he's experienced a lot of change in his life time#probably more than an average xianzhou native has#so the idea of settling down + his spouse doing these domestic tasks#really gets to him on some days#esp after long meetings? curling up to his darling spouse is a treat#idk#he makes me feel very mushy on some days.#jing yuan fluff#almost the same length as my college essay (idk here it was a min 500 wc) and so much easier to write.#even tho it took me two days

blitzed my way through the great ace attorney adventures o7
naruhodo ryunosuke patootie of all time wtf
a bunch of ryunosuke + van zeiks court shenanigans bc (besides the Frequent racist comments) they amuse me
edit: resolve doodles!!
love that ryunosuke picks up on this habitāalthough i know they both mean it sardonically
(also like the way van zeiks uses "my nipponese friend" definitely changes as the game goes on, but imo at the beginning at least it tends to surface when he's particularly frustrated/contemptuous of ryunosuke <- why are you paying attention to this)
it's so fucking funny to me that the reaper of the bailey, known to exclusively tackle the most powerful scum of society, reappears for the first time in 5 years only to take on three seemingly inconsequential trials in a rowāall against an otherwise unknown young, foreign lawyer. if i were a member of the london public, i'd be losing my mind.
#the great ace attorney#naruhodo ryunosuke#herlock sholmes#mikotoba susato#dgs#barok van zieks#tgaa#sart#i find it Very Interesting that sholmes never seems to make his wild deductive mistakes when he's not with ryunosuke and susato#of the three protags ryunosuke has the most baby energy TO ME#i knew it was bad when i started internally referring to him as ryuu-chan#van zeiks my actual problematic fave#Firstly vampire inspired character design and he's interesting bc#you can tell that he's a dedicated prosecutor with a strong sense of morals and he always#comes through when it matters but also! Fucking racist#*shaking him*: IF YOU SAY āNIPPONESEā ONE MORE TIME#and ryunosukes always so unfailingly polite to his face!#truly i did not expect to get hit with so many microaggressions while playing a video game#also me whenever theres a wild van zeiks appearance: EEEEEEEEE

CROWLEY SSR THOUGHTS

iāll find you again in every universe. let us be a little more honest, let us have a little more time.
#vashwood#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#despite it all though badlands rumble is like. the only universe where we get wolfwood thinking vash died first... and i think that means a#lot to their relationship and how it may bloom if there was more to badlands rumble considering vash literally saw wolfwood carrying a piece#of vash after his supposed death. u know! despite the short time they were together vash still meant so much to wolfwood that he couldn't#just move on or forget him in anyway. needed to keep a piece of him for himself and the rest of his days. but ofc vash lives and wolfwood#was like ill beat ur fucking ass into tomorrow. there's just so much honesty in vash being able to see that gesture bc he wouldnt know#otherwise just how much he might mean to him. ANYWAY. trimax with with the eternal pining featuring the two chapters where imo#where the both of them really fell for each other... i wrote my thoughts about this on another comic i did before#but vash solidifying his feelings during the hospital arc -- ww solidifies his when he realizes his allegiances are permanently with vash#98 my lovelies but also to me they are so one-sided bc ww pined like no tomorrow and vash only realizes after ep 23?24? his heart did tickle#whenever ww complimented his smile though#and tristamp vw my beloveds. it really just feels like they get theĀ chance to be closer and closer and more honest with each other#with every version that comes about. in trimax they knew how little time they had but struggled so desperately to get closer. in 98 ww felt#more willing to forsake for vash. in badlands rumble theyre Angry but as mentioned earlier ^ more blatant truth... due to circumstances#mainly but has the chance to lead to discussions and tristamp literally. first day of knowing each other ww saves vash - 2 days later vash#saves ww like.

Soap doesn't smoke.
Didn't.
Does occasionally.
Sometimes.
When he needs it.
Routinely.
Any chance he gets.
He didn't used to. Not for any morality reason or whatever. Lord knows he already lacks enough of it. Just sometimes it was easier to literally run himself to the ground then go to the shop. There was just no real reason to attach himself when he could just as easily pick his skin of his fingers raw while he got lost in his head.
Plus his mam always said "John, donnae you even start on this, you know how granda was." Granda was a 78 year old bugger who died of lung cancer, and he must've smoked a pack a day. Pretty good for a fucker killin' himself, soap reckons. 'Course he respects the hell outta the man still, and he'll never tell his mam about blond stranger he bummed from once as a teen. There was never any reason to wake a, perhaps, dormant gene.
Never any reason until there was.
It was only bumming a cig once or twice when it was offered. A rare occasion. Waiting for exfil from a salty mission with nobody but the grass and the breeze to witness. Nothing to say. Just have a smoke about it. All that happened. Everything they survived. The parts they almost didn't. But Soap doesn't smoke.
Ghost would never admit it but he gets snippy when he doesn't have his smokes. So Soap carries a pack on him just in case. Just in case Ghost loses his own. It happens sometimes. When it does he'll offer his pack to Ghost, take one for himself too. No reason not to. But it's not like he smokes. Not really.
Usually after the team gets out of debrief from a tough mission Ghost needs a smoke. It helps him unwind. Brings his mind out of survival mode. Brings the lieutenant back to the Ghost. Soap finds he often needs it just as much. Less so for the nicotine, more for the silence, sometimes for the motions. It helps remind him how to to breathe properly again. But he doesn't really smoke.
Ghost likes to have a smoke after meal times. He doesn't even invite Soap anymore, expects him to follow. Like clockwork morning, afternoon, and evening smoke. Soap switched to Ghost's brand. Every time, without fail, Ghost would forget his pack of cigs after lunch and bum one off Soap. And every time, without fail, Ghost would routinely complain about the piss quality of his cigs. But it's not like Soap smokes all the time.
Until he did.
It was Soap's own fault too. Picked a fight over some meaningless topic that he can't remember. Some things were said. Some things were unsaid. He made Ghost the villian in his story. Next thing he knew Ghost was packed up and shipping off to the other side of the country. Soap said some gnarly things. Things he wishes he couldn't take back a thousand times over again. But worse than that it's what he wishes he hadn't left unsaid out of fear. Wasn't even the three big words. Just one. One pathetic work that he couldn't utter. And Ghost would have stayed. Now his clothes smell like smoke, his room, his blanket, his kit, his sketchbook. When he wakes in the morning. Around his breakfast. In the gym working out. Cleaning his fire arms. Doing paperwork. Fixing the broken shit on base. He still smokes Ghost's cigarettes. He was right, his old ones were piss. But more importantly they smell like him. Everything smells like Ghost. Reminds him what he lost. What he chased away. Just how he wants it. Let the memories and hurt really sink in. Ghost said he'd be back. Some day. Soap will return to his cheapest quality cigs. A harsh reminder of what he lost. But for now he smells like Ghost, and he won't easily give it up.
#do you think it was the opposite for Ghost?#he used to smoke as often as he can whenever he could#and then it was only when soap was around#and then it was only meal times#and then the huge argument happened#and Ghost left because he couldn't let himself choke soap with the wafting smoke thats rooted so deep it comes from his bones#and when he was gone he just quit completely#just cold turkey#because it was only when soap was around and having a smoke with him#and now soap is nevr with him. so he just stops smoking#maybe he picks up a pack of soap's piss poor cigs just for the smell. but it's only the one pack. only ever that one pack.#and he never brings his lighter near#el rambles#i wonder what happens when Ghost comes back#he would have stayed if only Johnny had asked him to. but he didn't. he didn't want ghost. so he left#john soap mactavish#simon ghost riley#ghostsoap#soapghost#call of duty#cod#cod mw2

It's really funny to me that Apollo canonically gets jealous when Klavier receives attention and arguably gets jealous when Klavier gives anyone else attention too. Like dude you two aren't even an item, you need to take a chill pill lmao
#this adds another layer to klapollo actually. i think apollo would implode if he started dating klavier lmao#hed be so jealous all the time because klaviers a celebrity. hes always receiving attention from other people#and hes always giving it to other people#klavier gavin and his hotheaded easily jealous short king of a boyfriend. 10/10 dynamic tbh#(also adds a lot of potential for angst though)#ace attorney#klavier gavin#apollo justice#klapollo#btw when i say apollo arguably gets jealous when klavier gives anyone else attention im referring to the stupid rose bouquet in soj#i think apollo getting prickly whenever klavier comes up in conversation MIGHT be at least slightly caused by jealousy
