[A codex entry reading:
"Elsewhere, around an anatomical sketch:
Reclaimed. Though damaged beyond repair, the Anchor's condition-- used both to mend and destroy-- is fascinating. A detailed study will consume what remains. But it may also yield the final elements that have eluded me."]

are there any other kinds of pokemon spinoff game you'd like to see? since you started with a spinoff it's obviously been influential on how you see the franchise
Oh it absolutely had an influence! And don’t get me wrong, the mainline games were great too, but after starting with HG, by the time gen 6 came around started getting kinda bored with them lol
As for the kind of spinoff I’d like to see…maybe something like you working in a pokemon center! You could get to treat pokemon with different types of injuries/status effects/etc. I refuse to believe it’s as simple as a push of a button lol. They could even have an element where wild pokemon come for help and sometimes decide to stick around :3

Next post is going to be the references for LeapClan (LittleClan's original clan)! If there's any questions about them feel free to send them in! (Answers will be OOC, aka either myself answering them or the characters answering them in a non-canon manner)

What Penny thinks their genders are:
Ava - omega (Penny can taste the hidden bloodlust)
Sam - beta
Luke - alpha
Danny - alpha (reminds her a bit of her ex)
Fury - beta
What their genders actually are:
Ava - alpha, smells like water from a river
Sam - omega, smells like freshly cut grass
Luke - beta, smells like banana protein shake
Danny - alpha, smells like honey incense
Fury - alpha, smells like bitter chocolate
Wait-Reminds her of her ex?? Hol hol up💀💀😭😭😭
That was sudden💀💀😭😭😭
Ofc Sam is an omega, he gives omega vibes😣😣😣
The fact that Fury is seen as a beta in Penny’s eyes is funny to me for sum reason💀💀😭😭

tbh the money is a big factor like I'm trying to finally get my shit together medically after letting some things fall to the wayside for years and like my insurance is Not That Great but also like the other factor is it's really hard to remember to make phone calls and schedule a bunch of appointments when your brain doesn't work. and then if you succeed you get to spend hundreds of dollars. well at least I got that raise LMAO

nightmare low blood sugar situation neutralized
#woke up shaky and low but i didn't have any snacks in the room#so i had to get dressed to go to the lobby to buy some snacks#and i realized i haven't worn a medical alert thing in months because my ex's info was on it#so i grabbed my emergency meds and carried them in my hand while i went downstairs#and as i'm walking down stairs my phone also fucking dies so im like. if i go down rn all that emergency contact info is unavailable#so i'm starting to get more nervous and also. low bg makes you irrational#when i got to the counter they were busy checking a flt crew in#so i was like 'ok they'll come over to me next there's two people working rn right' and. nah#both of them chatted with the pilots for a bit and then while the one went to check the next person in the other went to get something#so i'm standing there for like 5 mins feeling like im gonna pass out but i don't say anything (or just grab a soda and pay after)#because i was like 'oh they don't know i'm having a medical problem rn... i don't wanna be rude'#eventually one of them finished up and checked me out#and THEN a guy at the bar started asking me about my pump and again. didn't want to be rude#so i stood there and answered his questions about how type 1 works for a bit#and when i was explaining i need to take insulin for carbs unless im low he looks at my candy and he's like#'ooh are you having a low rn?' YES#and then the counter lady was like 'youre all checked out... you can go...?'#because i was standing there too long.#im in my room now and slammed most of a coke and a cookie lmao#it's so funny (😐) to me that i have a condition that requires me to make trips to the snack bar sometimes or i might just fucking die??#there was no punchline to this story it was just agonizingly long and annoying.#anyways.#nessie posting#diabetes tag

🍰, 💻
!!! thankyou!!!!!!!ah!!
okay 1. Name one of your fave comfort fics (doesn’t have to be your all time fave).
For MASH this has probably got to be "these are the days of miracle and wonder" by raven (singlecrow) and "homecoming" by yaroantheo both of which make me CRAZY INSANE. but because my fic and fandom roots are in Pacific Rim (......i know) my ultimate comfort fic will probably always be the leviathan "Designations Congruent With Things." that motherfucker owns me heart and soul. "His city fell, but it is remembered all the same. Humanity as a whole has endured things of great scale and scope. We lose what we had in gaining what we are. Given that loss is a requisite part of change, even so, some of us remember Pericles." like THAT........ that changed me. ough. anyway. 2 below the cut because it is a little Intense:
2. Do you do research for your fics? What’s the deepest dive you’ve done?
okay. yes. obsessively. this is maybe my most insane fandom behavior. Deepest research has been for MASH and is of the sort that will make me sound like a serial killer if my browser history is ever reviewed in court: I've watched a fair number of recordings of emergency surgical procedures intended for residency training and have read through a lot of anatomy and medical training textbooks and period-contemporary medical journals. I really value BJ and Hawk as doctors/surgeons at heart, and their worldview is so informed by their experiences/knowledge that it feels like to do right by writing these guys I've got to know what they know. If that makes sense LOL. I'm my own medical advisor??
aside from that, I also get pretty aggressive about time-period accuracy. for my WIP Hawk is living in NYC briefly, and I wanted to make sure that I got the month down because there were some changes in the subway token system in 1953-4. Or that in the 50s most people rented phones from AT&T instead of owning them, that's something I make sure to mention, just because it would have been unremarkable daily knowledge for BJ, a homeowner and telephone renter in 1953. Etc. so essentially YES i research SO MUCH and it's all stuff essentially nobody will ever notice, but if I deviate from that for convenience I WILL annotate it. AUGH.

I guess since I'm the hell out of there and enough time has gone by I can explain what the hell was up with my name and rebrand while I was living with Fine and GB...
Because yes I completely changed my online image and my screen name and all my graphics after over 10 years of not doing that and kept changing my urls on zero notice... I even used Ai to make some new graphics again after that when I am in fact a digital artist myself and I know some people feel like that's a weird choice for me too.
Warning for just about damn near fucking everything:
After the first assault and then using my memory issues to do it the fuck again, it triggered me into remembering both instances and dumping all sense of connection to GB and I told him we weren't together anymore, so he wasn't allowed to use any of my stuff, or my bathroom -he also flooded it once and pretended nothing happened- and that he wasn't allowed to come into my back end of the basement anymore, and that I didn't want to speak to him about it.
In response he wrote me two separate and weird poems or notes acing like he didn't understand what was going or on claiming innocence about not understanding that his behaviour was harmful to me. Yes, do not put it past someone to try to force you to touch their dick and then act like that isn't harmful behaviour. Yeah, don't put it past them to wait until you don't seem to be remembering that it happened and that you have expressed that you never want to have sex again, when they know you have memory problems and issues with dissociating, to try to have sex with you again, and then act like that isn't harmful. Like they can't possibly know it would be harmful. Yes, even after being told I didn't want to kiss him either because of the risks to my health at the time, he still waited until I wasn't on guard to stop him, kissed me, then smirked and gasped about it, like he obviously fucking knew, and then tried to play innocent about it. He's say shit like "but why wouldn't you want me getting close to your mom?" and other shit like he was constantly testing to see if he could catch me dissociated again and not remembering what he did. All this after I explained how deeply traumatizing it was for men to do this to take advantage of me before. He knew. But he's skated by his whole life on everything by acting confused and like he can't understand. He understood well enough to use it to manipulate me until it stopped working.
He also started following me around. Anytime other people weren't home he would glue himself to my side and constantly talk to me and ask me questions about our relationship. Who I was going out with, constant grilling about who I was going to go see, where I was going, what my relationship was to anyone else I had contact with. "just curious :)" All after being told hundreds of times how stressing me out too much about something is how my brain ends up locking it in a box for later, after being told how making me stressed out about something is how to make me forget it involuntarily. Of course, thankfully, he misinterpreted what that meant, and had selective earwax about the part where once there was more bullshit than anything good, a switch would flip and he'd be stuck with the version of me that remembers -only- the abuse, while all the other memories die in their place... But the point is he started stalking and harassing me.
And he started going out of his way to get so fucking extra chummy and attentive with Fine and Tictacs and literally everyone around us.
He was my housemate and my only way to buy anything I needed online. We had to communicate over rent and bills and anything I couldn't buy locally.
And he started doing really ballsy shit like trying to bond with me over how 'stupid his therapist was being' by telling him he hadn't done anything wrong and how none of it was his fault "haha crazy ammairite? XD" Like he thinks I an so fucking stupid...
...
And then corona started, Fine infected me while trying to hide it was even happening because I was on a social media hiatus, and I got too sick to get out of bed, for months and he was the only one willign to bring me supplies.
Thankfully at that point he knew that if he tried anything overt I'd just call the cops... But he controlled my food, what cleaning supplies I got. I got really fucking sick multiple times after eating food he brought me, he refused to bring me the supplies I needed to clean up after the cats or to kill to toxic mould in my room from the flooding he helped cause... Bread he brought me was spoiling in 3 days with horrendous amounts of black mould, lots of things seemed tampered with.
I told my doctor he might be poisoning me and I wanted to get tests done and she said "well we can't do these procedures and tests on a 'maybe' u.u" As if the proof of him poisoning me didn't rely on those tests???
Yes you heard right, my doctor wouldn't confirm if my housemate was poisoning me so I could take legal action to stop him having physical access to me and my food in my own home!
And I couldn't tell you about it because he had access to my blog and to me in my own home!
Then after long enough of being deathly ill but not actually dying. He stopped. He just started refusing to bring me anything at all. He wasn't getting whatever he wanted out of bringing me supplies and just left me to die.
He kept letting the dryer exhaust flood into the whole basement where only my room was instead of doing what he was repeatedly told to do with the lint trap.
So, suffering the symptoms of multiple organ failure, post covid from hell, every autoimmune fuckery it triggered, CO exposure, black mould in my room with mould allergies that was closing up my lungs, Fine using cleaning supplies I was high-key allergic to and REFUSING to stop, having daily heart attacks from my blood minerals being wildly off from what I now realize was the same kidney malfunction causing me to not pee for a week around that time, and all the bone pain... Which I also told my doctor about, and the hospital, to zero fucking effect... and jaundiced as hell and barely able to remember what I was thinking for a whole 2 seconds at a time, I realized I was dying and absolutely no one would help me. I got angry about it.
Even my mother and Tictacs both, when asked to check in on me daily to make sure I responded, both waited a week before sending me some passive aggressive "so are you sill alive" fucking bullshit message and not waiting for a response. Like I cannot stress enough how much surrounded by people and actively asking for help, I am still alone in everything.
So I took the bed out of my room, treated it with the last watered down mould enzyme spray and built myself a replacement bed out of rope and palette board. Instead of a 3x6 foot mass harbouring moisture 6 inches over my floor, I had a woven net bed that was over a meter off the ground in the driest corner of my room with only a yoga mat in it to insulate me from the cold of the floor, so it wouldn't harbour moisture. I put a latch on the dryer exhaust and started cleaning the filter out myself. I researched my symptoms however I could and found things I could eat without having cardiac spasms. I started to be able to pee again after a week and all the pressure in my abdomen went away. I got less yellow. etc...
And how much of dying at the the time was corona and autoimmune VS being actively or passively poisoned? WHO KNOWS! My doctors sure as fuck weren't going to help me figure that out!
And the timeline is a little fucky for me because I had 1-2 viruses and my immune system trying to eat my brain while my organs failed and I was being exposed to carbon monoxide from the drier exhaust and to black mould. So forgive me if some of this is out of order, but this would be around the time you saw photos of the nest/bed I made in my closet. I couldn't tell you all of what was going on at the time. I think I also tried paper making because the humidity in my room had been jacked for over a year anyway??? I had needed something to work on in my room that kept me up and moving around.
I recovered enough-ish and started climbing out the back window of my room to get my own supplies, and so I could leave the house without him noticing and to avoid breathing upstairs. It's also how I had to take out my garbage and etc, because Fine and GB refused to do absolutely anything to not constantly bring corona into the house, but they mostly stayed upstairs. There was a living area downstairs but my room was down a hall after the laundry room off of that and so was my bathroom and neither of them had any excuse to be there. We remember this.
And yet I got the distinct impression he was coming in there when I was out.
In addition to following me around --but only when no one was paying attention or was home to notice, so he obviously fucking knew it was wrong-- he had my url to follow me here on tumblr.
And the problem is that your internet history maintains links, even if you change the url. Firefox would just update that shit. And most of the time he left the house he would take his whole desktop computer with him to his mothers, so I didn't have access to it.
You need physical access to a computer in most cases to good and truly wipe the links to sites that their browser has recently accessed. Just changing your url and IP does jack shit, and yes I know that.
And I had told him to stop checking up on me. To stop talking to me socially, to stop looking at my blog, to respect my fucking boundaries. After years of him hearing about how other people following me around or outright stalking me or fucking with my memory was a seriously fucking traumatizing issue that kept ruining my life.
And he kept saying shit to me he couldn't have possibly known unless he was checking up on my blog, and I just had to keep playing stupid so he wouldn't stop incriminating himself to me. Even after I deleted any follower that might conceivably be him. [yes I went through what was 300+ followers at the time, probably shot a lot of bots in the process]
I didn't want to lose all the followers I had gained for my writing etc, only to not shake him off my ass anyway because he had access to me in my own house!
So I did what I could. I changed my entire image to something that seemed a little out of left field at the time for me, so I didn't look like me anymore and the name was different, and kept changing the exact spelling of my URL across social media, unlinked things, got a vpn... And whenever he left the house and didn't bring his computer with him, I would sneak upstairs and repeatedly wipe his internet history and ect as thoroughly as I could... And then immediately change my url again and hope he wasn't also looking at my tumblr on computer systems at his mom's house.
All in the hopes that the link wouldn't be maintained and when he put in the name or spelling he thought he remembered he wouldn't be able to find me again. And if he did he might not be sure it was even me.
And I kept telling Fine and anyone else who would listen to not give him links to my social media, not to let him use their computers. I never knew if they took it seriously.
And I couldn't really say anything to you guys about the gritty details of what was happening -while it was happening- because he had 24 hour access to me in my own home and potentially still had access to my blog. So if I even seemed like I was too suspicious about the potential of being poisoned or if I looked like I was remembering the assault, etc... He would see that and have access to me. I don't know what details I have talked about since but I do know I've probably been too angry/avoidant to really give the full rundown in context... Probably, my memory is shit.
So I used people coming into our yard and fucking with our bikes as an excuse to get him to help me buy a security camera online. I tried to confirm multiple times with him that it would work on any system, because I prefer cheap android phones, and he kept just saying "it'll work with what you have :)" and that's why I am stuck with a stupid apple product that will ONLY work on the replacement phone his mother gave me second hand, or another 600$ fucking dollar phone [also my new phone only got broken because of him sabotaging me too, but that's another story... but also it will work with my tablet and I bet he didn't fucking think of that now did he?]... But I took that security camera and I aimed it down the hall facing away from my room, so I would be alerted and have video evidence any time someone tried to approach my room.
And I lived like that because having to move during the pandemic by rights should have killed me.
But eventually, Fine was threatening to move out and leave me alone with him, to go live with a guy she knows wants to fuck her in a very one-sided way out in BC, with him promising to pay for everything and let her live with him... And wouldn't listen to sense... So I had to chose between bringing another roommate or two into that existing circumstance, and telling them about the problem, thus guaranteeing we would never find anyone, or not telling them about the problem...
But see my landlord actually had a legal obligation, as my landlord, to evict other tenants who were abusing me. Like that's in his fucking job description, legally! Replacing both of them would be better than any other option...
So I bit the bullet and told my landlord what GB was doing to me. The landlord who kept acting like my friend and kept saying we were friends and I could go to him if there was a problem.
And he told me that'd have to be "between [me] and the police :)" That he wasn't going to put himself in the middle of it or help me.
...
And then within 3 months he decided to sell the house and evict us.
And when he brought up having another apartment in a building he managed/owned that he could rent to one of us, Fine leapt to try to snatch it up right in front of me, both of them knowing the situation I was in, and I never heard back about it. [So much for "I would never let you be homeless u.u" right, Fine? But then you didn't care GB kept trying to rape me either and kept calling that a "two sided issue" so I don't know what the fuck I expected. Not only would you -let- me be homeless and assaulted but you'd sell me to Satan for a corn chip... Don't worry she won't see that because I told her to stop looking at my blog too, so if she does that's a 'her' problem]
Which is how I ended up being forced into a 1000$ apartment on a disability pension that I at least get to myself.
And well I have certainly been documenting how THAT all went with the movers and their bullshit and everything I have been struggling with since...
And that's why I was such an obnoxious asshole with changing my url for a while there and why suddenly rebranding with no fucking warning after I spent years not doing that, and promising I wouldn't do that unless it became necessary.
I wasn't out here -trying- to make it hard to follow me or keep track of who I was for anyone, just GB. Well, him and every other stalker I have had or every other person who didn't respect it when I told them to stop reading my blog...
That's the stalking issue I was having, not -THAT- guy, not the second guy, not Moriarty again... Just like... The latest guy.

It's wild watching someone who used to be self aware (or at least, who didn't want to be like their parents) become entitled to things like avoidance. And children. Often simultaneously
#me#my friend used to be a very free spirit#ended up medically traumatized due to psychosis. went to court ordered therapy got on meds etc#made a bunch of concessions to reconnect with family bc their partner left them as soon as they were in the hospital#got medicated. got back to work. got into a new relationship.#and now suddenly behaves exactly 100% like their parents.#was even holding our homelessness over our head saying shit like#'you guys know you have to ask the gov for help eventually right? bc if you dont itll be me taking care of u and i want kids :('#(this coming under the assumption we somehow CHOSE to be homeless and that we HADNT asked the gov for help REPEATEDLY already??)#same thing w another former friend#used to have a fraction of self awareness. wanted to break the cycle#got married. got kids. went back to work and school and suddenly is entitled to not only continue the cycle#but to be avoidant as well.#bc you see. its really hard and stressful to have a job and family and home to be responsible for.#its so hard they dont have anything left over to be self aware or empathetic with.#and its true! its tragic for them too. its isolating. this is part of why suburban life is so terrible. the fucking isolation.#being a good little capitalist cog was intentionally designed to give you just enough privilege#just enough of your own life#to make you keep coming back for more#but to simultaneously run you so ragged that you never have time energy money etc to protest.#so you stop protesting at all#even on a small scale.#you dont call what your parents did to you abuse bc you want them in your life.#you dont call what your ex did to you 'rape' bc thats too strong a word and you want to believe you parted on good terms.#you dont call what the hospital did to you abuse or medical trauma. intead you say you NEEDED to be chained down? the fuck?#you start to believe all the bad things people said about you. and then you start to believe them about other people.#you go from someone who marches in the streets to someone who criticizes the protests for being inconvenient and impolite.#entitlement. its entitlement.#bc this system holds your autonomy and life and family HOSTAGE behind a paywall unless and until you conform.#and they can be taken away in an instant if you put a toe out of line
