#apologies if this got kind of rambly

[lovedthestars-toofondly]

THANK YOU for the surgery advice! I made the mistake of looking up wisdom teeth removal videos and freaked myself out. Having personal anecdotes is helping me to stay positive about my upcoming surgery. What kind of foods did you eat when you were recovering?

Glad it was helpful!

I had a lot of applesauce, vegetable soup (no chunks), yoghurt, rice pudding... fish (baked) was fine too. tiramisu (no alcohol). and whatever the goy version of challah is called in English, dipped in milk. by the end of it I was REALLY craving savoury food.

I was actually able to eat pizza again 5 days after the surgery, albeit very very slowly (chewing with your incisors is.. not very effective), but the only reason that happened was because it was a holiday family gathering and that's what was on the menu. I would not necessarily recommend doing this on purpose.

Basically anything that's already liquid-adjacient is your friend. During the first few days chewing anything will take forever, and between that, the exhaustion, and the rather limited menu eating can become a bit of a chore. After a week I was mostly fine though – still avoiding acid and spicy food, and.. like, sharp splintery stuff like crisps and well toasted bread, but getting back to normal.

Oh, and I don't know what sorts of painkillers you'll get, but had 600mg ibuprofen and was taking 3-4 a day at the start, which caused some queasiness. mint tea helped with that.

So basically – the first three or so days are going to kind of suck, be kind to yourself and get as much rest as you can, after that it'll get steadily better

i think yosuke would have the most excruciating #Ally phase right after realizing he sucks and right before actually figuring out/accepting that he’s bi. all “i’m sorry women. and gay people.” white knighting all over the place. a bunch of apologies with a thick layer of smarmy performance over some genuine guilt.

in terms of reactions to his apologies, chie would probably be like “what? what’s wrong with you? who are you and what did you do with the real yosuke?” just full of skepticism, yukiko would be like “huh? oh it’s fine,” and then unintentionally say something so backhanded it cuts yosuke to his very soul, rise would probably accept his apology with the grace and playfulness of an idol which makes him way too happy.

i think the smarm would mostly fall away when apologizing to kanji cause he’d probably feel far guiltier about that than the misogyny. and i think cause kanji is just the kindest guy in the world, he’d think on it a moment then accept yosuke’s apology outright, which would distress yosuke immensely.

something like “wait, just like that? but i said all those awful things to you!” and kanji’d be like “yeah, you did. i’m not gonna say that all that was fine actually, but if i see my friend earnestly tryin to make amends, what kinda guy would i be to spit in your face?”

“but, but, you’d be completely right to! i was horrible to you! time and time again! how can you forgive me that easily?!”

“you’re acting like you don’t WANT me to, man. whaddaya want me to say? should i punch you so you can feel like you earned it?”

“yes! no! i don’t know! i just—! i could never forgive me if i were in your position.”

“yeah, well. i’m not you, am i.”

If the apology vid IS making reference to the watcher apology then that makes me slightly more confident that whatever they're doing isn't going to be putting their content behind a paywall like what happened with them lol

tbh i cant imagine them ever putting ALL of their content behind a paywall, one off things like the WAD watch party or recordings of both stage shows (i think?? idk i havent actually seen them bc of the aforementioned paywalls) like that i understand. but all of it? i dont see it happening. i also dont think they make enough content to warrant a streaming service or something, which was one of the big criticisms of watcher. they also know their audience, so they know it just wouldn't go over well.

so yeah i really wouldn't worry too much about a paywall, it seems extremely unlikely to me

the most wholesome thing is seeing that the wholesome post blog runner is probably one of the nicest people ever :3 i’m generally Terrified of sending asks especially to a blog that Does Things like this but seeing you talk in the tags instead of just reblogging and moving on makes you seem very friendly and approachable !!!! and i hope u know i appreciate that :] i hope you have a wonderful day and both sides of your pillow are always cool and that if you see a random cat on the sidewalk it won’t run away from U ♡

woah, META-WHOLESOME!! thank ya for the compliment, i try my best to carry out those kinds of traits i value!!!!! i’m SUPER super glad that ya did!!! THANK YOU THANK U!! always appreciating how much of an impact this lil blog has on top of appreciating u for sharing as much with me :-)

it’s always a TRIP getting to hear that something i do that i wasn’t even really mindfully doing makes all the difference?? i’m just really, REALLY grateful for all the different kinds of posts that get sent my way and seeing cool + uplifting + sentimental + OVERALL WHOLESOME posts that i express my thanks + ramble a bit in the tags haha !!

i ALSO hope you have as terrific of a day as you’re able to! and i hope you’ll enjoy seeing more posts pop up!

AND YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE but i got new pillow cases like a week ago THAT DO JUST THAT! AND THERE’S A NEW CAT ON THE STREET WHO HANGS OUT WITH ME SOMETIMES (i’ve been planning to see if he has a microchip, but i know for a fact that the neighbors who feed all the stray cats on our street already have a cage + are well-versed in TNR, so i’ve been thinking about asking them first because the thought that someone could be out there looking for their pal is enough for me to “do it scared”) !! SO THANK U NOT ONLY FOR THE SWEET SENTIMENTS BUT ALSO FOR THE UNEXPECTED HILARITY OVER THE FACT THAT THEY’VE COME TRUE???

I wish I had a way to draw digitally because I’m scared of coloring anything traditionally because it never turns out the right color but with digital stuff you can at least go back and change it but you can’t do that with colored pencils or anything :/

in a world where dan and blair ended up together, what do you think would have been realistic outcomes for serena and the trout? i'm in the midst of a rewatch of the show, and a lot of serena's decisions when she either breaks up with nate or with someone else are...interesting. and that's not even touching on trout's issues lol. i love your thoughts on blair (and her relationship with dan) and i'm curious about your thoughts ^-^

oh hello!!!!!!! i am so glad you asked I love asks <3

the longer I sun myself in this gossip girl sandbox, the more I believe that serena's best endgame match (of the characters we meet bc that's the only way it's fun) is: Vanessa. I'm going all in on serenessa.

i actually lowkey have this fic idea where they run into each other because of their work. like, vanessa has a documentary premiering at SXSW, and serena is there in her position as a photojournalist/travel writer/photographer idk. and a mutual friend at a festival event is like "these two should meet each other" and so it goes......

yeah. i like that for her. I like the idea of serena having work that is adjacent to her mom's passion, because in a poetic kind of way she grows up "being like her mom" which was the thing she dreaded the most, but this way it's good,like she grew up to be the best version of her mom.

but i also think she'd have many artistic pursuits and she'd probably chase after them all. and rotate through them all. like I think tattoo artist!serena would be hot. she would paint of course. do more photography (pick up cheesy school photoshoot gigs every now and then. and events. i think she'd like that fly-on-the-wall experience, de-centering herself and being a witness). she works at a ceramics painting place once.

(do i also enjoy a version of serena's future where she and carter have a in-every-port, what-happens-in-vegas kind of thing going on? yes. yes I do) (she can have both)

for chip wiskers......not to bring too many real world references into the mix......but i think it would be really funny if he went bankrupt/his businesses went under because he was found liable for fraud because he lied and grossly overestimated the value of his real estate holdings to increase his bottom line. that be fun for me.

i would also accept: is lost in a titanic deep sea expedition that only billionaires can afford; is hit by a car and killed like ryan phillipe's character in cruel intentions; has a stroke on his private jet flight to negotiate a merger; is trapped in georgina's attic a la mrs rochester

Okay but in all honesty, Good Omens S2's ending is one of the best written 'misunderstanding trope' scenes I have ever seen in my life, because it was genuinely built up well and the logical step for Crowley and Aziraphale's characters given the situation they were put in, as painful as it was for us to watch and them to go through.

To rehash what a whole lot of other smart folks have said, Nina was very correct - the ineffable husbands were not big on communication as a pair. Sure, they had their witty banter and their moments of tender opening-up (I apologize, it seems i've forgotten the word for that) but they never really talked about what each other were feeling, or really said what they both wanted, which is very very important for a good strong relationship - they both desire different things too, Aziraphale will always be the protector while Crowley can't discern why that is so and just wants to be with Aziraphale on their own terms, not heaven (which he very understandably never wants to associate with again) or hell's. What must've made it worse was that fact that Gabriel, the one who told Crowley-as-Aziraphale to shut up and die to the love of his life's face got what Crowley wants so easily.

But they still love each other damnit, and that had to hurt so much.

me waking up at 6am this morning and immediately having the thought "maybe Guz still gets angry a lot because strong emotions are difficult if not impossible to control esp if its rooted in abuse trauma BUT he learns how to apologize, and thus - especially in the beginning - he would lash out as an automatic response but quickly realize what he's doing and apologize for it and we'd move on and be okay" like it had been beamed into my brain from some divine source.

also junebug (waves. thats literally just me.) would have to do their own hard work to learn to not automatically fawn when someone starts seeming the littlest bit potentially displeased or unhappy (because that is unhealthy for all parties involved). they'd BOTH be putting in the work to make it work !!!!!! 🎉

ok kinda skeeved out abt something

[hershelchocolate]

Accidentally giving my version of Lyf chronic migraines is actually really funny. Because, as someone with chronic migraines, they exemplify everything I wish had no consequences when I get a migraine. They will be up at 2am making cookies or some shit because FUCK being in a quiet dark room. That gets so boring SO quickly. Who cares if it feels like knives are stabbing their brain, they are making these got dam cookies

recently ive become a mawarin meki childhood friends truther and i cant wait to write a whole bunch of it

they were clearly already friends before tanuki came into the picture but i like the idea that it goes back further and mawarin was the first to reach out and that while these two were the popular ones of the friend group in highschool they were also weird kids once (they're still both pretty weird. nothing about this friendship group is normal)

like mawarin is pretty good at holding in the things that make her different from other people (to the extent she seems like a normal friendly girl that could get along with anybody) but I keep thinking abt the idea of meki being kind of a loner for ages and being shunned by his classmates and stuff. after a point he probably wouldnt care but mawarin seems like the type to reach out even if she knows it could get complicated cause of her bad luck curse/non curse situation. like shes so much of a sunshine character its kind of hard to dim that kind of light. anyway I feel like even if she got deterred by the people around her she WOULD go up and make friends with the weird kid, and WOULD go do that again a second time no matter what (even if the latter is the type of guy who hisses at people).

plus its a good intersection of the traits of like

- meki is noted specifically as having a rough time growing up from being sick, spiritual nonsense and also the whole Situation (which I am choosing to interpret as trans stuff but like in general)

- watanuki being the latecomer to the friend group, and also notably a lot more of a loner rather than the popular type so he was probably adopted into a preexisting friendship at some point

I just like the idea that mawarin has an affinity for bringing weird kids out of their respective shells and that all three of them kinda see themselves in each other as individuals and a group bcs it adds an added layer of sentimentality to what's already been established. and its very found family vibes. I rly like the framework of what's already there in canon but my brain wants to make it even more compelling so it comes uff with stuff like this out of nowhere lol

anyway imagine if mekis mind was already set after the rain incident but himawari comes up to him one day like 'so like theres this kid in our year with no friends and i think he needs somebody cause he keeps eating alone at lunch can we keep him' 😭 like he's some sort of cat in need (he is) (thats exactly what he is)

and doumeki immediately is like yeah go for it (hes already had a life altering experience and at this point without himawari even knowing he's basically ride or die for the guy at first sight)

i like the idea that this like a lot of other things in the story is cyclical idk how to end this thought anyway this probably doesn't make sense im sick and thinking about holic is a good distraction

I& wanna meet more canonmates so badly except for I& really don't because um. The Darkness consumes me&

[rotisseries]

this fandom really need to remember that liking villains is perfectly valid as long as people don't go around excusing morally-wrong behaviors.

i mean I'm hesitant to say things like "make sure you're not excusing morally wrong behaviors!" because. it's just like. an annoying attitude to have, like people don't want to have to post about their favorite blorbo War Crimes Mcgee with a paragraph long "DISCLAIMER: AS A FAN OF WAR CRIMES MCGEE, I DO NOT CONDONE WAR CRIMES NOR EXCUSE HIS ACTIONS" and also that is an annoying fandom culture to have to live in. like sometimes it's fun to just be like "haha yeah it was hot and sexy and cool when that villain killed all those people"

but like. everyone has their line in the sand for what's "too far" for a fictional character right? and everyone's is different, but for me and most people absolute no goes are things that feel, too real? I guess? like. racism, homophobia, domestic abuse, etc. are things that are always too far for me to continue liking a character. it's gross and unsatisfying to watch, these are things you're pretty likely to deal with in real life based on your personal life experience, and there’s really overall no way for it to be an enjoyable thing in the story right? but just generic murder is NOT most people's line in the sand

which is why like. there's a difference to me between b1lly stans and henry creel stans. like I just find henry stans annoying because of their lack of commitment mostly. they're all like "actually I theorize that he DIDN'T murder those people" BORING. say he did and you find it hot and sexy idc. also I don't find henry that interesting so by extension I'm not interested in the fanclub. but there’s nothing that actually grosses me out about him having a fanclub, because the murder is fictional and telekinetic and inseparable from the supernatural plot like I'm never going to run into a man who's actually murdered people with his mind and I'm DEFINITELY never going to run into people who hear about real not fictional telekinetic child murder and decide he's cool and sexy and also didn't do it or whatever

but b1lly. well. b1lly is a very real type of violence. there's lots of racist abusers and there’s lots of people who defend them so I just. can't get behind it at all. you DO have a point though that it would maybe be marginally better if they'd at least ADMIT that he'd done this shit lol

so yeah this isn't to say that like. someone's favorite character and how they talk about them is NEVER a red flag, but "this is my favorite character Child Murderer Jones, he murders children and gleefully boasts about all the child murder on screen, and I love him very much and have edited him with cat ears" is fairly standard fandom behavior and not worth moralizing, imo. and sometimes this fandom gets a little puritan about fairly standard fandom behavior
