sometimes while i think about that while a lot of adults did not treat me very well as a kid i also get a lot of 'in hindsight this person was so good to me and i didnt even realize it until now' as an adult. today i was thinking about how the first anime convention i ever went to was when i was 10 and i asked the man working the manga cafe what manga was/what a good place to start was (because the con was very overstimulating for me and i had gotten lost) and he asked how old i was before recommending yotsuba and asking if i wanted any water or something to eat. its really simple but theres a lot of bad things that couldve happened or he could've been careless in his recommendation, but instead yotsuba has remained one of my favorite manga for years, and probably a large portion of why i continue to read manga as an adult... i think adults who try to involve kids in the world safely/kindly even in little ways make so much more of a difference than they ever really know.

imagine percy swimming to the bottom of the ocean. not to save a group of sea creatures. not to show off his skillset. and not to prance around as the sea god's favorite son. but to join the ocean in all that it is. laying in the soft sand and watching the fish swim by. the lobsters making space for him as he rests his head against a patch of seaweed. him laughing at the irony. imagine percy making small talk with all the different sea creatures and assigning them names. him actually running into a whale he named phillip who's on his way to propose to his boyfriend. and percy wishing him good luck and offering his blessing on their union. imagine percy making small talk with the starfish about his favorite dinosaur. and explaining to the collective group what a dinosaur is and why they don't need to worry about them reaching the bottom of the ocean. just. percy immersiving himself in all that's aquatic because it's where he can be his most self.

i really don’t think it’s “typical dragon age fandom nonsense” for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing that’s remained constant are nods to our previous choices.

i wasn’t expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i can’t find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldn’t have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? you’re gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldn’t have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? you’re saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.

Top Summer Travel Tips for Aging Adults and Family Caregivers

If you are a family caregiver of a senior and going on a family summer vacation with your senior loved one, there are some important things to consider in advance, keeping your loved one safe throughout the trip and making the trip more relaxing and fun for all family members. Home care Potomac professionals suggest useful tips for seniors and family caregivers to spend quality time during a family vacation while keeping seniors safe.

1. Considerate Planning

Direct flights may be quite heavy on your budget, but traveling with a senior or a loved one with dementia can make a significant difference. If you prefer traveling by car, pre-plan the route and breaks in the journey. Plan for rest breaks so you and your loved one can enjoy some fresh air and walks for a few minutes to prevent stiff muscles and joints. If your loved one is undergoing a serious health condition like dementia, driving more than six hours a day may not be good for them.

2. Schedule shifts of caregiving

Don't forget it's your vacation. Set up a timetable for your family members to assist with the care of your loved one. Plan family activities in alternating sessions to give everyone a break from caring for an elder loved one. If your loved one takes afternoon naps or goes to bed early, switch off caregiving tasks with other family members so you may each have some time to unwind. In-home care organizations and senior daycare establishments may offer respite care at your destination. If you can afford it, having a professional carer on vacation will ensure your loved one receives quality care and give you and your family a break.

3. Make the most of regularity and comfort.

Suppose your loved one has Alzheimer's disease or another kind of dementia. In that case, you can ease their transition into a new environment by recreating as many familiar aspects of their daily life as possible. It is a good idea to have them bring some familiar items from home, such as pictures, a blanket, and novels. Your loved one will adjust to their new home with the help of these products.

4. Copy of Medical File

Most people would rather not have their vacation ruined by a medical issue, but it's better to be ready just in case. Please keep a copy of their medical file, which should include their medical history, prescriptions, contact information for their doctor, and any other information that may be required. You should also consider saving the information on your smartphone, which will be more convenient than lugging around a file.

5. Emergency Contact Cards

In case of an event that you get separated from your senior loved one at a rest stop or a busy airport, make sure to give them a card with your contact number on it, or they must have their cell phone. If they don't have one, you can also get them a disposable one for vacation purposes. If your loved one is memory impaired due to some form of dementia, don't forget to mention on the card a few additional family members' names and contact information and put several copies of the card in their purse or wallet and pockets.

6. GPS Tracking Accessories

Make sure to join your loved one in a GPS tracking program if they struggle to remember things due to Alzheimer's disease or another kind of dementia related to this condition. On the market, you can find a variety of them. Some of them may be operated from a mobile device like a smartphone. If your loved one has a tendency to go lost while you are away on vacation, it is a good idea to provide them with GPS tracking gear, such as a watch or a bracelet, so that you can locate them without risk using your smartphone.

Suppose you are unable to look after your loved one properly during vacations. In that case, you can also look for reputable Potomac Home Care providers to help you in the matter or can also help your loved one at home while you are out by taking care of daily chores and personal hygiene. They help with daily tasks and allow seniors to age in place.

I think Deadpool and Wolverine 2 should start with them beating the shit out eachother in some nondescript field, just going full tilt completely mauling eachother

And then we see colossus come out the mansions back doors and he starts yelling about them ruining the lawn

Okay but the thing about veilguard reviews is I don’t care what the gaming review sites think. I especially don’t care what some random ytuber who’s probably just grifting right wing nutjobs for easy money and has never actually played the games before thinks. I don’t even care what an unrelated but accomplished rpg dev thinks

The only opinions I want to hear are from 7 trustworthy sickos (affectionate) who had their brain chemistry permanently altered over a decade ago by critically hated yet loved by me specifically video game Dragon Age 2, and only after I hear those opinions will I decide if I’m buying it or not

please don't mistake silence for hatred. please don't mistake unanswered plotting messages as indifference, or a lack of enthusiasm towards you. considering the ages of most roleplayers, many of us have bills to pay, families to take care of, medical conditions to treat, appointments to make, classes to take, homes to clean, and lives to live away from the computer that are far, far more important than writing on tumblr — life has a tendency to get in the way of hobbies and fun things like this. be patient with your fellow writers. if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. of course you can set your boundaries, keep your space comfortable, and softblock whoever you wish, but do so while recognizing it's probably not hatred or apathy that keeps them from leaping into your dms with message after message. they probably love this hobby just as much as you... but sometimes life gets in the way.

Ai art?

Are you fucking joking?

Sorry, no, it is not and I find it so disrespectful you would even think to ask that. I have not and will NEVER touch anything AI related ever in my life, I think it's so utterly pointless and destructive and it frankly makes me wanna kill myself.

So no, it is not and never will be, and you can safely hold that to me for the rest of my existence. I really hope this is the last time someone asks me this.
