"They took '2225..."

@thesunlikehoney this is how it happened, right?

[basketcasemp3]

other senior at work frequently gets feedback that some of our coworkers dont come to her with questions or concerns bc theyre intimidated by her and every time shes gotten that comment she'll say "i dont understand! why am i intimidating it doesnt make sense!🤪" and our supervisor, who has been on the other end of her bad moods but has no spine will say "i dont know 🤷‍♂️" and then im faced with flashbacks of every time shes ever made me cry. lol.

beyond frustrating that even my chronic pain is tied directly to my trauma

How cruel it is for a person to find himself in a situation he never imagined… to transform from a professional, from a person who works hard to earn a living with dignity, to someone who extends his hand begging for help, not because he wants to, but because he is forced, coerced, trapped between hunger, injustice and betrayal.

Begging… is not just asking for money, but it is the loss of a part of the self, the breaking of the spirit that used to give instead of waiting for giving. We did not get here because we made a mistake, we did not choose this path, but it was imposed on us by force.

Since when did we run after screens, looking for a glimmer of hope in donation links, sending message after message, enduring embarrassment, facing rejection, being expelled from some people’s conversations as if we were a burden? Since when did this become the reality we have to live?

Do you know what is harder than hunger? Not the lack of food, nor the loss of money… but to have your dignity taken away in broad daylight, to find yourself being fought from all sides, to feel that the whole world wants you to break, to become just a beggar on the doorsteps of organizations and donations.

But we no longer expect anything from the world… not from governments, nor from politicians, nor from those who draw maps with our blood. All that remains for us is you… you are the ones who feel for us, those who support the Palestinian cause who understand our suffering, who realize that what we are living is not life, but a daily struggle for survival.

So excuse us… we have no trick, no power, except with God and then with you.

I was writing to myself on the drafts this instantaneous writings I called:

"Why did they make us like this?!"

I'm sorry and Salam 😓💓

fernando and y/n have been married for 18 years now, but their love has been the same since they met 26 years ago.

information: spanish speaking! reader, fem! reader, you have 2 daughters- one is 18 and one is 5. you and claire ann stroll are best friends! this is really just how i see old people using social medias 😭

Francesca or Fran is your OLDER daughter and Rubi is your YOUNGER daughter.

(in the tweets it was y/o/d which stood for your older daughter but i ultimately decided to name the kids just so it was a little easier for me! i don’t feel like changing the tweets so…)

-start-

---

"mama!" fran called out as she walked downstairs into the kitchen. rubi was doing her homework at the counter as fernando and y/n cooked dinner- some seafood dish that smelled absolutely amazing. fran plopped herself down on the seat next to her younger sister and watched her parents. fernando turned to her from the stove and raised an eyebrow, "hm mami?" he asked her. the oldest daughter rolled her eyes, "papa, i wasn't talking to you" she sighed, fernando grinned, shaking his head, "mama and i are basically the same" he chimed, turning back to the stove, y/n chuckled and turned to fran "yes, mija?" she asked, smiling at her eldest, she was such an angel. fran pulled out her phone and showed her mother the tweet. y/n frowned, "no posts from mrs. alonso?" she read out, raising her eyebrow, "posts from what? why are they getting weaker? do you know this person?"

francesca sighed, "mama they want you to post on your instagram, thats what they mean."

y/n's eyebrows furrowed together in confusion, "hmph, i didn't know people were waiting on me to post... fernando, did you know this?" fernando frowned himself, turning away from the stove once again, "no i didn't know this fact." he too, leaning forward to read the tweet on fran’s phone. he shrugged, "tal vez sea una señal (maybe its a sign)"

STOP ASKING OTHERS TO ENTER THE VOID FOR YOU.

TOUGH LOVE. NOT BLAMING ANYONE OR ACCUSING: THIS POST IS ALL /LH 💜

i just saw a 🙃 post saying "all people who entered the void are selfish because my life sucks and so do others so you MUST ! enter the void for me! and them."

homie! We are entering the void for ourselves, and if you want to, you can enter for others. The void is supposed to be fun. You are the one being SELFISH by demanding people enter the void to manifest for yourself and thousands of others. Why are you yelling at them when you cant log off tumblr for one second? I know you are angry. your conditions probably suck ass. I GET IT. this is coming from someone who's never entered the void but posts revelations on here for help and has gotten SO CLOSE. want to know whats gotten me close? i logged off for a bit. touched grass/lh even. i stopped being jealous of others. I worked on myself and my mindset and now the void is so easy I might as well be there. Why are you so trusting of others that you DEMAND them to enter the void for you and to harass and blame bloggers when YOU 🫵🏻 can't even trust yourself to enter. TW!: Ik you are suicidal i get it. I have an abusive mom who gave me situational depression and I have to wait to join the military bc of it to get off my meds. Im working my ass off to transfer bc my home is abusive and when I go back i always gain like 10 pounds from stress existing there. My mom is the sole reason for my OCD and attempts. But you know what i don't do? Blame other successful bloggers and demand they solve everyone else's problem and act like people are suffering bc they wont enter the void for them like they are the hero's who are ignoring you to change your world. Im not trying to be harsh on you. Leave them alone. Let them enjoy their success because they deserve to and aren't selfish. They DID SOMETHING. Relearn Loa, get a job if you can, touch grass-perhaps/j? This might be harsh. But I needed this back then too. Read a book watch a movie or something. Watch like, the Matrix, im serious it has a lot of LOA references. Have FUN with the void and quit yelling at these bloggers when they are trying to help you, not solve your problems. They are not the reason for you and others problems. They cannot help you but they CAN give advice which they post, and motivation; use it. let me make this clear: you can enter the void with a bad mental mindset. you are not running out of time. or you need to back off the app and take a break and forget about it, heal and come back from it. Yall seriously making me angry for these creators, i used to be a jealous mf as well. But im close bc i healed. Be patient with yourself. Take care of yourself.

YOU AND YOUR MENTAL HEALTH, HEALTH IN GENERAL COME FIRST BEFORE SHIFTING OR VOID OR WHATEVER.

Thanks 🤝

-Tired mf seeing others be blamed for not saving the mf world and being called selfish for it. Let them rest and have peace. You're ignorant as well but seriously anyone can enter, we all are the same. I believe in you if you don't believe in yourself. You will be fine. 💜💯💯

[so-i-did-this-thing]

you dont have to post this but im curious, were you worried about going bald? i am FTM and everyone in my family is bald- i am the only one left with hair and im afraid of losing my hair, should i just go for it anyway? would i be happier on T than i would be not on T but with a full head of hair? i promise i am totally serious and if you want to answer this privately that would be fine <3 just looking for general advice this isnt going to make or break me/i dont wanna stress a stranger out with this question

Hi! I am stressing a little about my hairline receding, which is why I started oral finasteride a year ago, and am adding topical rogaine to the mix now.

It's just one of those probable realities of having a testosterone-dominant body, but a lot of healthcare providers either don't think to suggest hairloss treatment to trans mascs, or they enjoy punishing us for going on HRT. 🙃

That said, I do have my little "look book" of men with receding hairlines like mine (Jared Harris features often), and they are all considered to be quite attractive, which makes me feel better. I also know that at some point, I just might need to bust out the hairclippers and resign myself to hairpieces for cosplay. Which honestly might be more convenient in a lot of ways.

Everything else testosterone has gifted me has more than compensated for my receding hair. I am finally out of the purgatory of being perceived as a teenager. Plus, I ended up with a nice beard. :)

Your relationship with your body is going to change as you medically transition, and I really cannot predict if you'd be fine with hairloss, or if it will make you feel worse. You just kind of cross that bridge as it happens. For me, I have gotten pretty chill about most of my imperfections, though I am still pretty upset about 1 or 2 things. But they are things that didn't change *enough* instead of things that changed *too much*. Ymmv.

Really, all I can say is that there are options out there for saving your hair, or at least, slowing the crawl. Work with a dermatologist who specializes in this -- reddit is full of hokum and bitter young men who are in the population that sees no changes or suffers badly from side effects.

Like any medication, know what you are getting into, what red flags are for your body, and what to expect if you stop. Same deal as starting HRT.

But at the end of the day, if your hair is really important for your self-image, you'll want to find other ways to affirm your gender. And a lot of people do that without HRT.

Hope that helps! I'm sure other folks can pop into the notes with their feelings.

[manikas-whims]

thank you for reblogging my response, i appreciate your help in bringing people's attention to this. honestly i wouldn't really say i'm "fine," i am really hurt and upset about this whole thing, but at least she didn't deny it i guess.

thanks again

Hello, I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

I cannot fathom what it must feel like to have your work stolen and receiving such a poor attempt of an apology. Using “anon ask” and not even public ask to reach out is certainly a choice 🙃

I've never been a part of RE fandom but as a writer myself, I can empathize. And no need to thank me for bringing attention to this. I merely did what little I could since many reached out and sent solid evidence. I truly despise people who commit such wrongs. Plagiarism is never okay. Unfortunately it's something I've observed happening a lot in Love and Deepspace fandom.

You are allowed to feel this way. It's truly disrespectful that this Umi/doll person didn't even properly apologize. To me, it seems she doesn't feel a hint of remorse with the way she went around quickly deleting all the works she was accused of stealing and not even taking responsibility for her actions.

But I do hope you understand you are an amazing writer. So amazing that someone took the time to steal it (i know it's not a compliment im sorry). But despite what happened, do know that your work “something permanent” will forever be the original.

I hope you'll feel better with time ♡

Pride Petty Watch - LiTA (Sky/Prapai) 2/3

It took me much longer than expected to make it through the first two episodes of Sky x Prapai's arc in Love in the Air, but Prapai called Sky his boyfriend out of nowhere, so now I understand that he is Manifest Destiny-ing his way to love, and for the non-Americans, that's bad. Like real bad.

Let me be like Prapai and keep marching forward even though all the signs are telling me to stop.

In my first year of teaching, I was told I couldn't want the grade more the student did. I was reminded that some students don't want A's. Some students just want to pass the course, and that's fine. I need to take that approach with Prapai because he held Sky while he clung to him and cried for the nightmares to leave him in peace, yet in the morning, Prapai slings it back in Sky's face and makes it callously sexual. Clearly, Prapai doesn't want points for Slytherin. He does not want an A in decency. He does not want to pass "Go" on the board. Whatever he wants is between him and the demons he is fighting because obviously this ho does not want to be saved.

"Let me help you" - Look at that! As soon as you let men go, they wanna come back correct. Asking to help instead of forcibly inserting himself. Wow! So you are capable of not making everything aggressively sexual?

I'm watching you like a fucking hawk, Slytherin, which if you want to pass this course, you will note that hawks eat snakes, so basically I'm telling you I will devour you whole if you make another wrong move.

"That's all I ask," he says as he asks for EVERYTHING. "I will not restrain myself next time." "You cannot escape me." "Has he blocked this number?" Sky, babe, hon, bestie, rob this fucking man in his sleep. Take the watch off his wrist, the money from his wallet, and the audacity out of his mouth. These are the queer wrongs I'm trying to support this month.

"You should be spanked" - So 🙃 . . . IGNORING THAT! As a lifelong member and advisor of Greek life (fraternities and sororities are different for BIPOC), every time I see these university rituals, I always wonder what is the equivalent of a compliance officer in other countries because This. Is. Hazing.

And now Payu and Prapai are just hanging out at university activities like THEY DON'T GOT JOBS! Payu has a room in a garage, a room at his house with a toy car collection, and a terrified mechanic hiding under cars, so the man has got bills. Prapai has companies (plural) to run, and an overworked and rightfully annoyed (always in red) secretary holding down the fort, yet he is on a little vacay. Women in GLs - big bosses and screwing at work on company time. Men in BLs - FORGETTING THEY HAVE JOBS!

*Regina George has entered the chat* So you agree? You think you're a bad guy to Sky?

Every time Payu or Prapai mentions getting a reward (for not assaulting the boy they are chasing after especially when that boy is in a vulnerable position), I think of the conversation between Uea and King in episode five (part one) of Bed Friend when King asked for a reward and Uea said "The fuck you just say? Get outta here with that noise" then he left. Uea would eat these men alive.

The thinnest of ice, Prapai. I can see the freezing water rushing underneath. That's how thin the ice is that you are on, sir.

Because Prapai is confessing to sleeping with three other people since he began stalking Sky (no shame, as one slut to another, I'm actually very proud he admitted to it), can we get a STI test? We got condoms, so miracles can happen.

*squints* Is that a heart on your chest, Sky? No, I'm not angry. No, you're not in trouble. No, you're perfect. I'm just working through my own stuff, so I'm gonna need a minute to process this.

If you wanna live that chismosa life, you gotta be aware of your surroundings. Amateur.

Yeah yeah yeah, the wind needs the windmill or whatever dumb shit Dangerous Romance said. Now go make the lapel pin of it, and GET BACK TO WORK! This reeks of nepotism because there is no other way you would still have a job.

Prapai calls Sky by his name, no honorifics. Prapai sleeps on the floor. Prapai asks his mom for advice on how to care for someone. *squints* This is sus af.

And now he is swerving advances and doing his job. *squints even harder* Are you actually trying to pass this course now?

I, too, would be sad if rope was spewing out of my shirt like that.

Prapai just swindled a key to Sky's apartment without asking Sky for it. WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO FUCKING PASS THIS COURSE?! I DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOUR ASS AGAIN NEXT SEMESTER!

I play with my ears when I get tired, so now I feel even more connected to you Sky, and PRAPAI IS KISSING YOU?! NOOOOO! STOP!!!!! HE'S TIRED! LEAVE MY BOY ALONE!

"I can't guarantee your safety if I stay" - It was a fake out, and I have lost years off my life because of this show. YEARS!

The first step is admitting you have a problem are the problem. *growth*

I'm not going to question the aerodynamics of riding with that project on a bike, but I will state that Prapai is the prefect example of the MAME Extremes I wrote about in the previous post because when he is good, he is really fucking good, but when he is bad, he is The Worst™ so can't we just find an in-between?

Don't you go pointing your scrawny finger at my boy like that! You're lucky he even still speaks to you. Shut up, five! A ten is thinking!

Prapai spending all his money on Sky. Prapai deleting all the numbers from his phone. Prapai getting the lapel pin. Prapai cleaning Sky's apartment. Prapai being honest about wanting Sky without being aggressive or crass. *squints so hard my head hurts* This is how Joe must feel with Ming in My Stand-In because I want to trust your ass, but my God, do you make it so fucking hard. I'm begging you to not screw up after this. PLEASE!

I've seen this scene eighty different ways from my dash, but hearing Sky tell Prapai to get bored with him quickly so he can move on while internally begging for Prapai not to get bored knowing what I know about his ex . . . it is salt in the wounds, poison in the wells, and the phone call from within the house. It is painful, deadly, and terrifying.

Prapai listening tentatively as Sky finally tells him what he actually likes to eat. Prapai responding with little tidbits he has learned about Sky along the way. Prapai giving shoulder kisses. Prapai asking about the ex. To quote RuPaul, "don't fuck it up"

Sig is the realest of all these boys, and I would give him the softest ear bites, the best thigh kisses, and the most amazing blowjob because that's what he deserves!

Prapai - Claim me. Own me. Mark me!

Sky - Gross.

While all of Payu's after scenes only made him look worse as he embraced the Manipulate-Mansplain-Malewife way into Rain's heart, all of Prapai's scenes make him seem like the biggest simp, and I am, once again, pleading for balance!

So now on to the next episo - - -

Wait a minute . . . I know this scene

This is where Sky gets in his head and distances himself, so Prapai breaks in and reads the journal. Oh no. Oh no no no.

*lays face first in a field of lavender*

I need liquor, ice, and a blender. They are all needed for different reasons. No, I will not elaborate.

[fandomfluffandfuck]

S! I know you are very busy with school and life so there’s no rush, but I was wondering if you could help me find a fic/drabble of yours? I’ve gone searching through your masterlists but I can’t seem to find it and I also keep getting distracted. Legit the only thing I can remember is that it was about Bunny Steve. I think he was maybe wearing like a playboy bunny outfit? I cannot remember details. Anyway, thank you!!

Hey Sara!

I am busy, busy, yes, but this is a welcome distraction, haha. I want to bury myself in fandom more and more these days, lmao 🙃

I think what you're looking for would be any of these:

Playboy Bunny Boyfriends Art

Playboy Bunny Steve

More Playboy Bunny Steve

Steve is The Pink Energizer Bunny

Those ^ are all on Tumblr. You might also be thinking of these on AO3 that involve a lot of bunny content:

"Money Magic" (The bunny-ness in that fic is teasing from Steve's anonymous username (whiterabbit18) for his nefarious internet activities in a Fin Dom AU)

There's also puck bunny teasing in chapter 3 of "Reheating" and chapters 5 and 6 of "Thawed," which are part of the overarching "On Thin Ice" series (an ice hockey AU)

I hope one of those is what you were thinking of, and I didn't miss anything 😅 Also, thanks for the excuse to do some self-promo, lol

[usdemigods]

I cannot stop thinking about the 17 chapther of GS, and aaaaaah! It hurts me, 'cause if Izuku let know to Katsuki that he has magic I want to believe that Katsuki would understand, but the boy has years of indoctrination about the magic being unfair and bad. Also, Izukuuuuu I love you my boy but 💀, what was that???? I can totally see Izuku ignoring the ultimatum of Katsuki and being hurt later because "omg you were serious" (Because it happened!!!!!). Why can't they just be honesto ans happy and normal???

Also, awww your Katsuki is so cuteeee 💖😭, I love him, I reallyyy would like to see a Pov of him, especially what happened in the beach.

I just wanted to say that and also let a question completelly different so you can avoid giving spoilers.

I headcanon that Katsuki's favorite fruit are (now) the strawberrys and that sometimes he dreams about the kiss in the beach with Izuk- I mean "Mina".

Sooo what headcanons of your story do you have that you included or that you haven't been able to add yet? And most importantlly, how are you?

Sorry if I'm being too invasive or intense.

Omg thanks for sending this anon 😊 and neverrrr worry about being invasive or intense; in fact, everyone can afford to be more invasive and intense with me hahahaha. And I’m great :D thank you for asking, bored at work and wishing I could be writing instead 🙃

And yes, they literally make me want to rip my hair out 😃 like omg just TALK. But when I ask myself “should I just make them talk it out?” I can’t help but think “they wouldn’t fcking do that 😫” (yet….)

OKAY! Headcanons hmm 😈 Here, have five!

1. I haven’t found a way to make this explicit yet (will come out somehow) but everyone sees Mina differently. Only Izuku sees her true form and features: curly short pink hair, pink skin, completely black eyes. She doesn’t bewitch people anymore but casts a thin glamour to appear “normal”; she’s still new at this so uses a crutch: taking some features from everyone’s “ideal” and adapting them. To Katsuki she obviously still resembles someone (👀 perhaps he has a soft spot for her as a result?); to Eijirou I think she looks like a combination of Izuku and Katsuki, maybe with curly dark hair and freckles but with Katsuki’s cateye and jaw (I’ll let you unpack that…..); I think she has blonde hair through Ochako’s eyes, and pointed canines (🤨)

2. This is acc a huge thing that happened behind the scenes during ch 17. I wondered if I should keep it hush hush secret until one day I write a Katsuki POV of GS. But fuck itttt, we ball, I’ll tell 😆 I think Katsuki obviously noticed Eijirou’s feelings and assumed it’s reciprocated. He did pull Eijirou aside in Londin b4 shit went down and encouraged him (which is the only reason why Eijirou kissed Izuku in the end). I feel soooo bad for Katsuki 😣 I just want to kiss him on the forehead. Eijirou thinks Katsuki is just a supportive friend to Izuku.

3. After they left Bamburg Castle with Izuku knocked out Katsuki had a Crash Out™. He was Act 1 Katsuki, how he was in the beginning of the story: angry, lashing out, he scolded everyone for getting there too late, wouldn’t let anyone touch Izuku. Meanwhile our oblivious idiot was 😴😴😴. Katsuki carried him all the way to camp on his back and insisted on waiting by his side until he woke up while everyone celebrated🤭

4. I have SO many togachako headcanons, and I hate how I don’t really have the space to develop their slow burn as deeply as BKDK. Ever since she’s been weening off the sleeping draught I imagine Himiko as having very twisted, yandere-like dreams about Ochako; about possessing her, or even hurting her (not too much thoooo, and not too seriously), they’re ALMOST sexual but not quite; the dreams are very confusing and she hates them. Buries them. And she doesn’t know what they mean. But because she buries them it’s hard being around Ochako bc it makes her feel like she’s having disgusting nasty thoughts about her (she just doesn’t understand her feelingssss)

5. This is SO random but whenever I think about Aizawa travelling with Young Eri and them coming upon Prime All Might I always imagined a little ‘Will-they-won’t-they’ between them two. I don’t necessarily ship Aizawa and All Might generally but I just think it’s so funny, esp with them aged down as young adults and their sunshine grumpy dynamic (this is completely self indulgent)

I also loveeeee both of your headcanons ლ(´ڡ`ლ) I add that whenever Katsuki watches Izuku eat strawberries he thinks “cannibal 😧”. And the dreams!!!! I think, as much as he tries not to he ends up daydreaming about Mina and the beach ALLLLL the time and he hates himself for it, bc it feels like he’s violating Izuku (I just want to pat his head ☹️), and it’s genuinely distracting for him.

AHHH! Thank you anon I had so much fun writing this (๑˃̵ᴗ˂̵)ﻭ I can’t wait to share the next chapter with youuuuu

[hallucinateonpaperspines]

Hello there! *lightsaber noises in the background*

I hope you have a wonderful time! (hehe TIME :)) as in “Of Timelines and Trolleys” *wink wink* which I love with all my heart and soul and simply can’t wait to read more of)

Disclaimer: I want to state that I will wait as long as necessary and this isn’t an attempt to rush you to post cuz I know you have a real life and you do this out of the kindness of your heart (although our poor tormented blorbos might disagree on this part)

That being said I just wanted to let you know that I am soooooooo grateful for your fics! I love the way you write, it makes me laugh and connect and really immerse myself within the narrative!

Ash is such a round character with conflicting emotions. Poor baby is doomed by the narrative even though she is definitely fighting tooth and nail to undoom herself.🙃 Honestly I’m team Ratchet and feel the urge to wrap her in a blanket burrito and hold her forever🌯

So without ranting for too long thank u goddess for feeding us and take care of yourself! You are loved by strangers on the internet (cuz that’s not creepy at all:)))))

And since I’m here I am going to go for it and humbly beg of you for a little tinny winny sneak peek 🥺 (my love and appreciation are not conditioned by it but I would giggle and screech with joy if you would bestow upon me such a treat)

✨THANK YOU!!!✨

*walks back and disappears into oblivion while waving and blowing kisses*

Awwwwwww, thank you that's so sweet!😅😁

The next chapter is like halfway there and I'm hoping to post it sometime this week. I'm really proud of how it's turning out (a lot is happening here) so I do want to keep it close to my chest for now.

That said, I am a sucker for you guys, so here's some sneak peak dialogue!

Spoiler content ahead!

“You remember- I told you about the science fiction club?”

“Yes, Jack, I remember. Raf and that exchange student the Smiths are housing are part of it right?”

“Miko. And there was someone else.”

“The ‘cousin’ Serria asked me about?”

“-cousin?”

“Cornered me in the produce aisle, right next to the carrots. Serria asked me about her, something about colleges and when she’d be back in town. Nosey girl. I thought you were hiding a girlfriend from me.”

---

“Well. Thats that, then. She’s dead. See to the family, Bill, and make sure nothing like this happens again.”

“If it does?”

“We cannot set a precedent for leaving behind deceased civilians as well as property damage. It happens again and you will be terminated from your position and any witnesses will be reallocated immediately. The aliens do not get a say in government matters.”

“What do I tell the family?”

“She’s a runaway and they won the lottery. Simmons can help you with the details. Just keep it quick and simple. This would be easier if we had a body to stage something. Leave your files with Murphy, Donna’s out on maturity leave. And Bill…”

“Sir.”

“See if you can see what the Moore Family knows.”

---

“What’s the matter Bulkhead? Lose your edge now that you don’t have a fleshy to hide behind?”

“Where is she?!?”

Did CoA Lexa always know how to swim or did she have to learn? I feel like our golden retriever angel would cannonball into a pool then suddenly realize mid jump that she doesn't know how to swim

You're on the right path, but for slightly the wrong reasons 👀

It wouldn't be the physical act of swimming that would be the issue. That she can do just fine - tread water, freestyle stroke, make herself float. She's got all that and it just comes naturally.

What would fuck her up the first time around—

Breathing.

Angels have a set system where they "breathe" just to mimic life. It makes them appear more normal. The feel and sound of their breathing, their unnecessary heartbeat that pumps no actual blood through their nonexistent veins. It's just a mechanism that helps them connect to humanity in moments when their touch and comfort is necessary.

And while she had become aware of the reality that she actually, truly, very much needed to treat oxygen as a priority to staying alive now... sometimes ehhhh the logic of it would kind of... slip away from her. The application of knowing it, and then applying it to every scenario without thinking didn't always compute. Sometimes she will get a momentary 404 error message and then realize haha oopsie daisies, I almost killed myself just now.

And swimming would be one of those instances. Because yes she would fully go into it thinking I got this 🥴 I have swam before. Granted, it was in full angel clothing, but if anything, this will be easier. It's fine. I know what I'm doing.

And then she'd hit that water in a running cannonball or a gracefully arched downward dive, and would be sunk about 3 feet underwater, and realize... she did not take a breath before diving in.

And she cannot breathe under here.

Also, she has water flooding her nose. And it stings. And she has no idea what to do about that. Halp 🙃

Alright guys I really need your help figuring out my godly parent. I get different answers every time I do a quiz 🥲 here's some deets about me:

I work in health promotion - basically it's early intervention stuff, including health education, raising awareness, advocacy/political activism, and working with affected communities. It's also a lot of mediation between different professions and groups - helping doctors understand why patients can't "just lose weight", helping patients understand why they do need to make healthier choices, and helping politicians... actually there usually isn't any helping politicians, but we try. Currently, I'm in youth mental health

In my free time, I do a lot of arts & crafts. But like - I never stick to one. I've done knitting, sewing, embroidery, metal stamping, jewellery making, digital art, woodwork, music, paper making, book binding, and on and on and on

Honestly that generally goes for all my skills. I've done a lot of things and I *can* do a lot of things, but I don't really do any of them super well

I'm an out-of-the-box thinker, creative and yes, chaotic, and there are lots of pros and cons to that

My happy place is by the beach, but I cannot remember the last time I actually went for a swim. Fuck that, the ocean is scary. I'll stay up here on the grass reading my book under a tree tyvm

I describe myself as a happy person with depression. I'm very sunny and optimistic, but I find life and living and liking myself rough at the best of times. I spend half my life picking myself up, dusting myself off, wiping away my tears and trying again - but I do it, over and over, bc I genuinely do believe it's worth it in the long run. I'm also just ✨emotional✨

I love children, they make me so happy, but I'm not sure if I'll ever be stable enough to have my own

I love animals. Except fish. Fuck fish.

I'm a hugger, but I feel weird asking for hugs

I've been told, even at 23, that I seem older than I am, that I'm "mature for my age" (fuckin hate that saying)

I love being around people, and finding and creating community is super important to me, but being social drains me and I struggle to find a good balance

I put 110% into everything I do. It's a truly awful habit 🙃

I love maths and logic puzzles. I love the structure of it, the planning and strategy, the satisfaction of a black-and-white answer. And yet, I dropped out of my maths degree because I couldn't see myself working in anything but pure maths, which is not really a career. My current job is kind of the exact opposite - yes, it's very research-oriented, but you deal with nuance and unknowns and humans every day, and the reality is that there is never a clear answer. And I love it. No idea what that says about me 😅

Ok now that I've written that out, I'm actually leaning towards Apollo. What do you guys think?

Yeah mutual I never talk to, I QUITE suddenly developed a hardcore hyperfixation on Dabi MHA this month. Of all the fucking people. Of all the fucking series. I was truly put on the earth to suffer lol 🙃

I rarely ever get fun asks like this, so do forgive me for answering this like a "Dear [X]" column, but also, I could not resist. Apologies, mutual.

To my valued mutual,

Sometimes blorbo affliction strikes us in ways we do not expect, and we are afflicted by them as if by a disease. This is doubly the case for hyperfixations, which we cannot control. Yet the act of caring is what makes the suffering worth it, no? Take comfort in the fact that despite how "cringe" the source material for Dabi might be in the eyes of others, it is your perception of him and the experiences you have through hyperfixating on him that makes it worth it.

I have put my followers through enough Final Fantasy men-posting these past few years to drown God himself in the aftermath because of this same urge.

For the longest time, I had some genuinely immense shame in being hyperfixated specifically on characters from The Final Fantasy Game That People Hate Most Of All For Really Silly Reasons. Sometimes this shame still haunts me. This shame made me feel like I had to justify that love — like I had to couch the love in hatred and criticism and irony poisoning for it to be accepted in the eyes of others.

But then I realized that I didn't need to couch the love in hatred. It was a way of trying to avoid criticism from others who had no interest in understanding my love of it in the first place.

Were some criticisms of the game valid? Sure, and I certainly agreed with some of the points being made.

But was being passive-aggressively forced into bringing up the game's every flaw every time I wanted to talk about how much I like the game valid? Absolutely not.

Over time, I learned to be more balanced about it by reminding myself that sometimes you need to fake it to make it — to divorce yourself from everybody else's feelings and reactions and perceptions, and focus on how it makes /you/ feel, above all else.

It's easier said than done. Quite frankly, I still have a really hard time seeing bad-faith criticisms of the game in question, especially when it comes with the unspoken implication that "this game is shit, and therefore you are shit for liking it".

But.

It's worth it to keep loving the game and the characters I enjoy in it anyway, and to keep doing so in my way, because the love is what makes it worth it.

In short:

You're completely understandable in feeling the way you do about hyperfixating on Dabi. Press onwards anyway and keep thinking about him in your way. The way that feels right for you. This may take practice and gaslighting yourself into feeling better about it, but it is worth it. Especially because you may end up finding people that feel similarly about Dabi (or at the least, about other shared things) that you can end up discussing your takes with, which can help you feel better about hyperfixating on him the way you are.

I sympathize with your plight, and I hope you are having a fine evening. Stay strong, mutual.

Regards,
