Support Hilda's Fight for Life and Family
My name is Hilda, and I am from Gaza. I am writing to you today from the depths of my heart, hoping to convey my suffering and that of my family during these difficult times. On September 30th, just a week before the war began, I got married. I dreamed of a new life with my husband "Mohammed Ayyad" in our home, which represented my refuge and hope, where I envisioned a future filled with happiness and stability.
But on October 7th, the war started, and everything collapsed in an instant. I was forced to leave everything behind, including my memories and dreams, fleeing in search of safety. The moments of escape were filled with fear as shells fell from every side, and I barely had time to catch my breath.
I now live with my family in a small tent, which is prone to flooding.
My parents, my husband, my brother Ahmed (21 years old), my sister Linda (26 years old) and her husband, along with her small children: Reema (3 years old) and Saleh (one and a half years), and my sister Talin (14 years old) who is in the tenth grade, all stay together in a cramped space where privacy and comfort are nonexistent.
Life here is not easy. We are surrounded by insects and reptiles, and we suffer from a lack of healthy food, affecting our physical and mental health. Sometimes, the children go hungry, and we feel helpless to provide enough food for them. Reema and Saleh do not understand what is happening, but they sense our anxiety and tears, which weighs heavily on my heart. Talin, despite her young age, tries to be strong, but I see her becoming depressed at times, and I wish I could do more for her.
I need your support during this difficult time. I am pregnant with my first child and life here is utterly unsuitable. Securing the essentials has become a significant challenge, and I need your help. I kindly ask for your financial donations to assist me in covering my needs and those of my upcoming child. Every contribution, no matter how small, will have a big impact on my life.

Some exercises to get to know an oc!
(Iāve designed this list so that it requires no art or proper writing at all, it can mostly be done by doing picrews, describing and answering questions. )
1. Your oc as a playable video game character, (special abilities and stats). Bonus: write dialogue or one-liners.
2. If they played Dungeons and Dragons, what would their character be like?
3. Evil version of them
4. contents of their bag/ items they always carry around.
5. Average shopping list
6. various outfits for scenes or occasions
7. characterās wedding dress (yes, put that man in a dress.), or any other fancy outfit they would have
8. Graphic design: advertisement for their (perhaps nonexistent and/or illegitimate) business, wedding invite card, cult pamphlet,etc
9. Your oc is on the news for something they did. What did they doā¼ļø
10. Mess around with the incorrect quotes/ headcanon generator
11. Take āwhat x are youā quizzes as them
12. what crimes are they most likely to get caught for? And what crimes are they most likely to get away with?
13. Describe or show how they would take notes for their studies, research, job, etc. this is better than a diary page, because it doesnāt demand you to get into character so much. Also less awkward.
14. A little known skill they have
15. Your oc watches Transformers. Which version of Megatron would be their favorite? Go on look all of them up right now and decide which one they would vibe with the most.
16. Need to prepare a really quick breakfast/lunch/dinner. What do they go with?
Feel free to send me asks with these and optionally the name of one of my ocs, and I will answer them.
OR you can give me a canon character and Iāll answer in a way I think would be accurate to them.
I hope other people can have fun with this as well. Feel free to repost!

Hey Puff. No real reason behind this ask, I just wanted to say thank you for being a lovely human being and creating LR & sharing it. It's such a comfort series.
I've been having a hard time. ADHD and guilt and RSD has been kicking my ass. I took some time off work today that I don't think my manager was super happy about for a reason that is technically real but the major reason was that I Couldn't Anymore, my brain Wouldn't and that's such a shit excuse.
All that to say! I opened LR today and spent ten minutes just staring at that shot of Kore on the bus with all the pastel glitter softness around and it was so beautiful my anxiety calmed down. Went back to old chapters - the super cool Tower 4 skeleton pieces to just look. So just wanted to say thank you for the effort you've put in - it's a passion project you love, and it shows, and thanks for sharing.
(Mainly the last bit I wanted to share, the rest is context, didn't mean to emotionally dump if it comes out that way!)
Aw, thanks so much for the kind words! I'm glad it connected with you so deeply :'3 I relate to that a lot, sometimes it can be hard not to feel guilty over taking time for yourself, but at the end of the day, you only get one body, one life - stand by your own well-being and trust yourself to know when you need to take breaks. When it comes right down to it, all the people you're worried about rejecting you / judging you / etc. aren't gonna matter in the long run, but your mental and physical health will. You might feel like you're making excuses, but prioritizing your health is a valid reason and it's a reason that should be treated with respect and empathy, especially between you and yourself ;3
Obviously if you ever feel like the rest has turned into inaction that's detrimental to yourself, that can be a whole other issue - but often times we're way too hard on ourselves and see ANY amount of rest as "inaction" when really it's just taking action for ourselves rather than others. Trust your gut to know the difference, be kind to yourself <3
#sorry btw this turned into like an advice column ask LOL#but i hope it helps ! it's also a good reminder for myself too#because i have a tendency to be way too hard on myself also LOL#we're all trying our best out here uwu#ask me anything#ama#anon ama#anon ask me anything#and remember that āgiving 100%ļæ½ļæ½ļæ½ is relative because some days your 100% amount of effort won't be as much as yesterday's 100%#but if you're still doing all you can do then it's still 100%!

Finally listened to Dylan Mulvaney's song and?? I don't get the negative hype about it, it was frankly a cute song. Also the "playin' catch-up 'cause we missed the pre-game" made me laugh, it was a good line. Dylan, you've done it again!
#trans#transgender#lgbt#lgbtq#it just sounds like... a normal pop song. the only problem is the auto tune. i'm not against auto tune but whoever mixed it...#...did not make it seamless. i'm bad at recognizing auto tune but i could hear it#the thing that sucks is auto tune is now like... industry standard but nobody who is responsible for doing it seems to do it right#to me it's justa cute song about learning to appreciate and admire life and the women who helped. like it's pretty normal#i don't even follow dylan i just think she's. a relatively normal person as far as being a former theater kid can get you#if you were in theater or band your normal rating goes down at *least* a tier level. often more than one. ask me how i know.#anyway. listen to the song i think it's cute as hell. i'm always a sucker for songs about appreciation and gratitude

listen I'm not gonna be a Curly apologist he did Fucked Up as captain but I genuinely recommend ppl watch a playthru that goes thru the game in chronological order. It kinda helps clear up the events and gaps between them, bc even tho u See the times, you still experience it out of order.
The stuff Anya says definitely sets off alarm bells but it doesn't seem like he Fully Understands what she means, and I'm going to be 100% honest I think she was trying to repress it herself. This isn't to say that she is AT ALL "at fault" for what happened after and she should've gotten help even if she wasn't ready to fully discuss the issue but I genuinely think she herself was still coming to terms with things, so she didn't necessarily process the full impact before talking to Curly, and a lot of what happens occurs after they're laid off- like this delves into personal interpretation but I genuinely think Anya only registered Jimmy as a serious danger after his outburst towards Curly. Ofc my interpretation is limited bc of the limited pov in game and not having gone through what she has, but it personally reads more akin to coercion over time than a singular Obviously Violent incident (like. Not to say that Sexual Assault isnt violent in nature, just that coercion often specifically works to obfuscate the fact it is a form of violence.) The layoff is a Massive catalyst for her bc of Jimmy, in that she now has a very clear understanding of his capacity for aggression.
To extrapolate a little from the "Dead Pixel" conversation, she starts by saying she Likes The Screen (even though it's fake). While Curly has his quotes about the pixel "not ruining the illusion" which. Y'know is Symbolic Of His Flaws. She doesn't say the pixel ruins it, just that she can't get it out of her mind.
If we take the pixel to represent her Or jimmy, either way the way she talks about it kind of downplays things, like it's a Minor Thing that's Slightly Upsetting, but she's still okay with the big picture. Idk I could be 100% wrong but that is my take
Besides that, Anya tells curly she's pregnant 2 days before the crash, and it isn't until she outright states it that he starts Putting The Pieces Together. I want to note, he says "I'd do anything" and "this doesn't have to go on our performance evals" 1. Before he knows shes pregnant 2. Under the assumption she might attempt suicide, and I doubt he even thought about her using the gun on anyone else before she brings that up. He says literally before the line where she tells him she's pregnant that "being laid off isnt a reason to hurt [herself]". Like I've seen ppl talk about the performance evaluation thing like it's about her and jimmy, but I think he's referring to (his belief) that she might attempt suicide or similar which might genuinely be a consistent thing he's seen her struggle with, given she's able to go through with it. Also just to note: assuming their society is like ours (hellish) reassuring her he won't blab Abt her mental health is like. Genuine reassurance- lots of mentally ill ppl will Not Open Up bc it could have long term consequences (like. For example. On employment) ANYWAYS I hope it doesn't come off like "Curly never failed Anya" but rather "Curly approached this specific situation without the context of why Anya is panicking and (possibly validly) assuming she's dealing with a very different issue"
Also let me say again the time frame is 2 days. We don't Really see what happens, but we know Anya tells Jimmy without Curly knowing. I genuinely believe he maybe didn't do a Great Job in those two days (the fact he says Anya should've talked to Him before telling Jimmy is uhhh. Mm. 1. Your job to create an environment where she comes to you my man 2. Weird to tell her what she should do with HER OWN PERSONAL INFORMATION) but like.
I get a lot of ppl want immediate consequences but consider that they can't really get rid of Jimmy (co pilot. Which is. Y'know it's Own Problems) but also like. Curly knows Jimmy, and we know that Jimmy tends to lash out. Curly should probably Not Confront Jimmy Unless He Knows Exactly How To Keep Him From Hurting Anya. Like I'm not an expert but this is something genuinely important- when confronting an abuser you NEED to take into account the impact it can have on their victim, and sometimes for the victims safety you need to wait until you have a Solid Plan. It sucks but it's important.
And theres discussion to be had about Curly kinda going along with Jimmy saying "well what if we all died" and like. I do believe he Didn't Realize What Jimmy Said. Like he was just processing/trying to keep the situation under control (and failing because he underestimated how willing Jimmy was to hurt everyone including himself).
Like he's definitely an enabler but I would say his problems are mostly before he understands the gravity of the situation, in that he's friends with Jimmy and assumes the best of a man with abusive tendencies, and fails to create an environment that can keep Anya and the others safe. Like, he definitely doesn't handle in game events perfectly (psych evaluation for one- he does do it instead of Anya which is actually helpful, but he still treats it like. Weirdly.)
Idk I have a lot of thoughts about this game and I don't necessarily want to defend Curly but more like. Anya's situation is very delicate (and light on details) so sometimes the way ppl talk Abt it feels like they aren't actually focused on what she wants and what it means to prioritize her safety y'know?
Edit bc I just now figured out kinda how I want to word it: curly is an enabler and making things worse bc he doesn't put a stop to Jimmy's BS, but in the specific scenario we see in game I think he's trying to use his Skillset of like, people pleasing not for Jimmy's sake but for the crews (like "if I nod my head and say I sympathize he won't lash out and hurt them") which like. There are situations which that is unfortunately the safest option (on an individual level yes, but sometimes it's also necessary to prevent abusers lashing out in response toward ppl who are more vulnerable) but it was the Wrong Choice.
It's like. I think Curly was trying and had good intentions, and understood that he needed to protect the crew, but he didn't have the toolset/experience to realize he can't Just go along with things and that he needs to be able to set hard limits, even for ppl he likes and trusts. Like he failed but the failure was "for want of a nail", where it began way before what we see (for want of an understanding of power dynamics I guess.) Again, don't think this makes curly more forgivable or whatever, I just think he's a good example of trying to make the right choices when you never realized you'd have to make these kinds of decisions and therefore are unprepared and/or unaware
Second edit: personally I don't think you can really incapacitate jimmy without there being serious risk (again he's the copilot) but curly should've given Anya the gun when she told him Abt the pregnancy
#Mouthwashing spoilers#Rape ment#Suicide ment#SA ment#Yeah. Pronouns were kicking m fucking ass in this post. Names also bc I once called curly jimmy#if I write to much my brain stops cooperating with words#Idk. The way she brings up the locks in my mind sounds a little less like#Singular Incident and more. The lack of locks is a Very Important Boundary That's Missing#That feels like it often leads to the erosion of other important boundaries especially when someone abusive#Is specifically pushing those boundaries. Idk again. My take on it#And while Anya says ''i told you'' a part of me thinks she told him like. Y'know vaguely about the situation but probably didn't#Characterize it as assault (bc even if he didn't believe her I don't think he would ask ''who'' if he remembered her telling him#That his friend assaulted her) and was maybe not interpreting it as assault herself bc she was trying to rationalize it#Bc she's in a very isolated situation for over a year in a place where Two Whole Rooms Have Locks.#Realizing she was in the cockpit (has a lock) when Curly is assuming she's suicidal (or at least going to hurt herself)#And then she's in the medbay (has a lock) when she actually. Y'know#Idk I'm fully up to debate this. If someone has good reasoning why curly is actually worse than I think he is I'm all for it#I'm just trying to like. In the context of my beliefs understand the actions he takes and how they fit in within the timeframe#But legit watching a chronological playthrough helps A LOT bc like. Game is super impactful nonlinear#But like. That's not how the characters experienced it and it really fucks with the timeline of events intuitively#Anyway again. If u hate curly that's entirely understandable I just want to try and organize my thoughts while keeping#The timeline and my view of events relatively straight. Feel like there's sometimes a lil too much focus on how the men failed Anya#When we should focus on what Anya's needs and wants are. Which ofc from our POV characters are Hard bc. It's curly and jimmy#But still it's worth trying to understand her better than they do#Game that makes you think so much your brain becomes mouthwash

unfortunately for you guys i have started seriously thinking about a munchausen by proxy'd!chris au and i have decided that maybe jonathan could get to be the hero of this specific au.........part of it is that i wanna do more with him in general but there's also the fact that jonathan is canonically a Dad so of the entire cast i think he'd be the one most likely to notice the more subtle things that are off about celia's behavior, her odd calmness at chris's unexplained illness, her weird excitement with each new diagnosis, the way she chatters on with the doctors and nurses when chris is curled up sick in his hospital bed.......it's horrifying to him that she's not more worried, if this were his kid he'd be a complete and utter wreck, and that's what starts to tip him off that Hey maybe something is really fucking wrong here, actually.......
#i say unfortunately cuz you all WILL be hearing about this against your will#i didn't maintag the other post i made about making an au about this but i am going to maintag this one lmao#look at my evil fucked up au boy#the goes wrong show#chris bean#celia bean#jonathan harris#marshy speaks#abuse tw#ask to tag#i'm picturing this during the play that goes wrong era so they're all still pretty young and jonathan's a relatively new dad#but he still knows enough to know that celia's behavior is hella suspicious#he absolutely ropes sandra into helping him investigate cuz i love her and i'm imagining they're dating during this era#they're a little team trying to rescue their director/friend :') it's sweet..........gotta have that comfort in all the darkness#that's how i roll baybee

the directing of this scene is outstanding because despite being surrounded by darkness and crying, sanji is the one bathed in the sunlight of luffy's hopeful and loving words. his brothers are the ones laughing but they're covered in gloom and their narcissistic, evil selves. while sanji is acting in the most selfless and self-sabotaging way, wanting to go into the dark so his crew doesn't get hurt by the past he's been running away from for so long. he feels like he deserves this and luffy will not let him drown in his self-harm and the despair his family is. luffy literally is sanji's light, sun, hopes and dreams personified.
#i'm going to bang my head on a concrete wall#they make me want to throw up#get yourself a luffy today that can help you run away from your shitty blood relatives#suddenly i want to hug my girlfriend and never let go#this is literally romeo and juliet btw#sanji stop being relatable please#sanji and juliet capulet are actually the same person in this essay i wi-#don't ask me how many hours of sleep i got today bc the answer is concerning#one piece#sanji#black leg sanji#monkey d. luffy#lusan#whole cake island

What markers do you use and what kind paper? The textures are so Delicious
Very basic paper, actually! I find I overthink when using expensive stuff and it makes my sketches worse.
As for markers, I use Copics! Not that this is an endorsement (my first set were a very nice gift), but I have really liked using alcohol based markers over water based ones; lovely texture, good blending, and less streaking. However, the price can be *brutal*, and you can very easily get by with other markers + pencil crayons.
#ask#art faqs#fancy supplies are nice but the dont really help THAT much for art skills. Consistancy and persistance does.#I balked the first time I needed to go in to buy a few new ones to fill out my roster.#if you are going to invest; my strategy was to make those fancy new supplies a reward for drawing X amount of days in a row#that way one doesnt buy a bunch of stuff for a soon to be abandoned hobby#Art is a relatively cheap hobby at its basics. You do not need the fanciest and most expensive things.#I think watercolour is the only exception for me; that paper better be high grade. The paint mix also matters#but I digress. Buy what you need and not what you want. Save your money.#Guilt will make you stop drawing. Hoarding supplies and never using them is wasteful#when I drop money on new colours I'm going in with a list of what I want#and looking through the swatchpad for hours until i get the right colour.#cant emphasize enough how fortunate I am to have been gifted my copics. I never would have bought them on my own.

damn this whole getting a ship stuff is really time consuming and resource intensive
you and me both anon
#protip: there's an item list + sources on the wiki and it may not be quite as complicated as you might think#i mean. it's still kicking you in the balls. but everything sans personal recommendations is relatively quick if you know where to go#do NOT go for the more expensive special boats right off the bat. you can just get a tramp streamer for now#zailing is a big expansion in terms of what you can do and where you can go- the streamer will service you perfectly fine#and especially under no circumstances decide you want a yacht as your first boat. god help you if you want a yacht.#ask#fallen london#also if you did the shifting streets event and have any third city relics left over dont throw em out! they're used for the streamer#caeru's getting his own boat rn. isnt wilmot's end just the most lovely zone in the world

š¦½ Too weak to walk, for Henry <333
(@whumpvp kiss kiss)
Content Warning | Post-op wooziness, medical whump, Henry being pliant and helpless, Fluff
---
This was about as routine a heart surgery as they came. The battery in Henry's ICD had run low, and so for the sixth time in his life he'd gone under to have it replaced. Both of them were familiar with the process, and they'd had more than a month to prepare. But it didn't stop Wesley from nearly melting with relief when he first laid eyes on him again. Exhausted and pale and drugged, but still aware and still in one piece.
Wes filled out the paperwork. Collected the post-op meds, thanked the nurses one last time. Then he took the handles of Henry's wheelchair, and started them toward home.
Wes had seen him like this a few times before, but it was never going to stop making his heart ache. Henry's eyes were glassy and vacant, watching the floor tiles go by without seeming to follow them. He was still holding his hospital pillow close to his chest, looking every bit like he'd crumble apart without it.
Henry winced as they went over the threshold, knuckles going white on the pillow. Wes was even more careful about the next little bump, and then they were out to the lane where the valet was waiting with the Audi. The sound of traffic going by, the murmur of other waiting patients, the smell of heat and asphalt hit like a wave.
Henry seemed to stir a little, recognizing his car. And then he started looking around, brows furrowed until he found what he was looking for. Wesley.
"Hey," Wes said gently. He leaned down and locked the wheels on either side, making eye contact with one of the nurses and nodding for them to come over. He squatted down next to Henry, giving his arm a squeeze. "We're gonna help you into your seat. Then we're headed home to rest, okay?"
Henry's eyes were on him, blinking too slowly as he tried to focus. But eventually he inclined his head in what was probably a nod, and turned his eyes back to the car as if figuring out how to try to get in there.
Wes almost didn't catch it when Henry shifted his weight forward in an attempt to stand, only to nearly collapse into the car door. "Hey- heyānot yet." He caught him, and the other nurse jogged over to close the distance. They each took Henry under his arm, steadying him. "Let us do the work. Just put your foot here....and the other....there you go. Now on three. One, two..."
They hefted him the rest of the way out of the chair, and helped him transfer to the car. Wes caught his head just before it hit the roof, and let out a breath of relief as Henry sunk down into the seat. It took a few more moments of helping him adjust his legs and get buckled. Wes made sure he was able to keep the pillow between his seat belt and the incision site, and Henry went back to hugging it just as closely as before.
Wes thanked the nurse, then closed the passenger door. Once they were both in the silence and familiarity of the Audi, Henry's eyelids drooped. He looked exhausted, and his breathing was coming slow and a little labored. Wes buckled in, then reached over to give his leg a squeeze. He got a little sound of acknowledgement. He knew he was there.
The drive home was a quiet one. He took a longer route home, one that would avoid as many stops signs and potholes as possible to avoid jostling Henry any more than necessary. And when they finally pulled up to the steps of their rowhouse, Wes let the car idle for another minute as he coaxed Henry back to awareness.
"I'm gonna come around to get you. And we're going to take the steps really slow, alright? It doesn't matter how long it takes to get us there."
Henry made a mumble that sounded like an acknowledgement. They'd talked about this before his surgery, and somewhere in there he still knew the plan. Handrail on one side, Wes on the other. Slow and steady.
Wes gave a nod, and then came around to open his door. He helped him unbuckle, and murmured, "We're gonna leave the pillow here for now, but I promise I'll give it back when we're inside." He still saw Henry hold it even tighter for a moment, before that little bit of resistance caught up with common sense. He let Wes take it, fingers still clinging loosely as it was pulled away. The longing on Henry's face made his heart ache, but he knew it would be forgotten by the time he got it back.
Getting him to his feet was no small feat. Getting him to the base of the steps wasn't either. Henry wasn't exactly a light man, especially when he was swaying as they went. He kept tripping on his own shoes as though he couldn't remember quite how to place them. But with Wes' help they made it to the hand rail, and from there Henry finally seemed to remember his balance.
There were only ten steps up to the door, and every one of them was taken carefully and clumsily. Wes helped him lean up against the doorway as he got it unlocked, feeling Henry's whole frame trembling with exhaustion against his side.
And then they were home. He tossed the keys onto the counter, and helped Henry up the last step. Henry started hanging back just inside the doorway, looking down at his feet. It took Wes a moment to realize he was trying to toe off his shoes.
The sight tugged at him. Even drugged halfway to hell, routine was still such a powerful thing.
"It's alright, love. Let's get you sitting first. I'll help you out of them once we're in the bedroom."
"...mm?"
"Yeah. Promise it'll make it a lot easier."
He coaxed him along. They went past the couch and to the bedroom, where blankets and pillows and water were already set up and waiting. He eased Henry down onto the bed, and bent over to help him pull off his shoes.
He was gentle getting him undressed. Careful to make sure he didn't try to lift his arms, steadying him when he started to sway. He helped him settle back against the pillows. Henry's skin was clammy to the touch, but he still leaned into him when Wes pressed a kiss to his forehead. "I'm gonna be right back. I just need to go get the rest of our things."
Henry was almost asleep again by the time he returned. He roused him just enough to offer him his pillow. And when he saw it, the look of relief on his face said everything. He curled around it like a long lost friend, tucking his knees up and burying his cheek against it with a sigh. It didn't seem to matter that he was surrounded by other, indefinitely better pillows. This was the only one he had eyes for.
Wes sat down beside him and combed fingers back through his hair. And with that, in moments, Henry was asleep.
#if there is one constant in Henry's life its that post-op he becomes INSEPERABLE from the first soft thing he gets his hands on#one of these days Wes is going to start a collection of all the hospital pillows Henry ends up bringing home with him#funny thing is that even as a kid Henry was never really into plushies#but give him anesthesia and suddenly he Needs to be clinging to something soft#will not let it go#and to be fair the diffuse pressure on his incisions does help with the pain a little#but its also just for comfort#also the typical ICD lifespan is 6-12 years#but since Henry's goes off relatively often#(which will happen when you're off doing Dangerous Villain Stuff instead of going easy on your heart condition)#the battery in his only tends to last about 3-6 years#its a damn good thing he can afford good health insurance#Henry Liliholm#Liliholm and Page#Wesley Page#ask Wick

this might be a little depressing for transsexual thursday but erm.
iāve been on T for about six months now and barely noticed any changesā¦ (besides my voice) and i donāt feel happy like everyone else says they did :(
iām not sure exactly what iām asking for butā¦ most of the people in my life wouldnāt understand i think soā¦ iām confessing to an internet stranger š
I think you should be honest with where you're at - changes can be slow-coming if you've just got those genes, and it's likely that your family who went through testosterone puberty have a similar experience. Sometimes, it hits you like a truck at 90m/ph, and sometimes, it can feel like a rollercoaster going up and up and up the tracks with no plateau or end in sight.
It's unfortunate that you can't always predict or expect all the changes that will happen to you, but it doesn't help to not be open with yourself in these stages of transition.
#ask#anon#transsexual thursday#and six months is still... relatively recent in terms of your body#i definitely encourage you to keep track of your levels and see where you want to be at#because a high level of testosterone isn't necessarily a good thing#with hormones it can be a very 'in moderation' scenario#but you may find that you want to bump those levels up a bit if they're low which might help#i'm at about the higher end of 800NG/dL versus six months at about 570NG/dL#and i found that the levels i feel best at are about 550-800#for you it might be different but the point is that there can be plenty of reasons for the slowness of the T#and that you nor your body are at fault#you deserve to be honest with where you are at and how you feel#and there are some things you can do to help that that you can definitely try out! but you don't need to feel afraid of being 'wrong'...#...for how you feel or feel guilty about it you know?#it's okay to not have beautiful moments of transition <3#ALSO i didn't mean to suggest checking your levels to imply you haven't or that you didn't know...#it's just something i personally found helpful to be more diligent about because i really wasn't for a long time

old people really were raised on the idea that their descendants were just future caretakers for them and never fucking learned to think otherwise

#polls#hyperspecific poll#kai rambles#personal#its actually difficult to think of things where im like no im pretty sure no one else has experienced this#was gonna put ''bank denied a purchase of a charger because they registered it as you trying to change your pin number at a cash point''#but when i called the bank to be like why was that denied? the lady who answered the phone was so baffled by it#that she called at least four different people including her supervisor over to help#and none of them had ever heard of it happening#it was such a bizzare experience#and like i dont think anyone else has experienced it?#i nearly put ''made a suicide pact at 13 involving tornadoes that you didnt realise was a suicide pact''#guess if i make another i can use that one#probably could also put ''told by a podiatrist you dont have a recognised medical condition just that your feet are too small''#and ''have an oddly thick neck thst makes doctors refer you for thyroiid tests despite having over 20 tests worth showing its healthy''#and ''a relative made you a bacon sandwich with uncooked bacon and got upset with you when you asked for it to be cooked''#or ''that same relative made you tomato soup with the tin lid inside the bowl''#or ''a parent taught you pub tricks as a kid so you could swindle cash out of pubgoers for him''

Chikageās 3rd flair (the usual fanservice minichat one) has him talk about how the Spring troupe is trying to get information out of him, and yet that way he learns more about them and he enjoys getting to know more abut them, and then he turns to Izumi likeĀ ādo you want to hear more about me? okay. lean me your earā and then he gets EXTREMELY CLOSE TO THE CAMERA TO REALLY TRANSLATE THAT HE IS WHISPERING DIRECTLY TO HER EAR
and itās to say how he prefers to eat his curry. heās CLOWNING ME.
and then he ends up being all teasy because :) yeah itās still learning about me! and itās implied Izumi gets pouty because he replies something that a friend of mine translatedĀ "Well, there's no need to know in hurry. We'll be getting along for a long time, right?ā but google translate translated theĀ āgetting alongā part asĀ āweāll be in a long relationship after allā
and iām
iām having a moment.Ā
#i usually kinda skip those and don't try to read them#bc my understanding of Japanese is really on the basis so far#but i skip them by tapping on the screen bc it's faster than reaching for the button skip#and SO SEEING HIM GET THIS CLOSE JUMPSCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME#so i tried to read through the rest and looked at a translator and then asked a friend who is fluent to help me make sure i got it right#and i got quickly the whole 'let me tell you a secret' *invades your personal space* *says something relatively silly*#LIKE it's STILL SOMETHING ABOTU HIM and it's sweet but it was clearly not what people were fishing for and he knows it!!#and I KNEW. I KNEEEEW HE WAS DOING THAT#im. weeps and holds my head into my hands in despair.#it has no right working on me so well i hate it#and once again with his 'we'll have a long relationship so it's fine you'll get to know more in that time'#it adds so much to the fact one of his way to flirt is so much so constantly proposing or acting like they're engaged#and then going 'i'm joking though. or am i. :).'#like geez talk about commitment#and i'm not going to derail myself thinking about man. commitment for a man who had to always be on the move and everything.#like. bites fist.#but yeah anyway i was in public when i was going through this and i almost fucking cried on the spot#and i felt myself turning red like a complete idiot#so fuck thisĀ fuck this fuck t-#ichablogging a3jpn

That vortex vanquisher took my breath away!!! Did you print it all in one piece or in separate chunks and glue them together? If you glued them can ik what kind you used, I'm new to 3d printing but I wanna print pretty weapons tooš„ŗ
it was printed in sections, the pattern i got even had interlocking parts so you don't have to worry about putting them together lopsided!!! to glue them together we just used clear E6000 :D
!!!!!! please send pictures once you start printing, i would love to see them!!! oh, and as a reminder, don't forget to pick up multiple grades of sandpaper!! sanding takes a while, but it's worth it!!! :D
#chit chat#not brainrot#anon#cosplay talk#AHAHAHAHHHAHAHAA I LIVED#I WORKED FOR 11 HOURS TODAY WHAT A TIME THAT WAS#I GOT SO MUCH DONE BUT WOW DOES MY BACK HURT#i remember the process (the sanding and painting in particular) pretty well so feel free to ask any questions!!#anything i'm unsure of i'll ask the relative that helped me#oh even if your printer is really smooth you still should get sandpaper#because the glue will inevitably bead up at the seams#but you can easily sand and peel those away!!#good evening :)
