Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

blah blah blah put kimi antonelli in the williams and move carlos to mercedes blah blah blah

YOURE ALL WRONG

put kimi antonelli in the williams of ALEX ALBON and move alex up to mercedes.

brocedes 2.0 except theyre nice to each other and they care about each other and its not really brocedes even though theyre besties since childhood and in silver mercs.

because galex would be nice to each other. anti-brocedes. the opposite of brocedes would happen to them i think. and that would just destroy brocedes because that means for them that nico and lewis just did not have to do all that shit and were more willing to sacrifice themselves and their love for each other than race wins and it was all for nothing in the end.

it would be fun i think. loscar should do it too but they should unlock some secret third ending (im delusional abt logan sargeant redemption arc with cadillac. IT WILL HAPPEN PEOPLE) because loscar is just like, some other beast all together.

hey yeah I'd love to hold out for some last minute "save" or smth legitimate that would prevent him from being able to enact his bullshit in office or some kind of technicality that would reveal that Kamala Did Win After All just as much as the next guy but like. with all the people going "something feels off..." or or "it doesn't feel like this was meant to happen..." or "this doesn't feel like real life..." I just wanna scream that like. it's trauma. it's fucking trauma. you are actively experiencing the trauma of that man being elected into office again after four years of not living under him. alot of people feel as though they're reliving a very very terrifying and devastating day(s) from their teenage or even childhood years and being dragged into the headspace of who you were eight years ago absolutely fucking feels surreal and derealizing. it "doesn't feel real" not because there's some secret plot or conspiracy or Plot To Uncover but because you're (probably) actively dissociating while effectively re-entering an abusive and traumatizing situation after years of being away and moving forward. I get that a lot of people are in the denial and bargaining stages of grief while they process this. god i fucking get it. but like. please don't fucking let it lead you into into thinking there's some secret illegitimacy. There is No Conspiracy: You Are Just Being Retraumatized.

is that person's take incorrect or are you disagreeing with them instinctively because of the perception that they've expressed their take in a way you deem "cringe"

Is there anything from before being locked up that Narinder still does? Habits that he might still have, rituals he might still try to do, anything from godhood he has to get used to not being able to do anymore?

He has a hovering-issue when it comes to running the Cult and doing Rituals (ESPECIALLY Blood rituals. He does not condone them, as they are ancient and incredibly dangerous/instable). He's also had to get used to being so small and incredibly weak.

The Crown no longer gives him eldritch strength, and his body has pretty much lost most of its muscle mass because of it, having been born extremely weak and sickly. The physical traits took longer to revert.

But, the thing he struggles with the most is how large the world is and how the fresh air still burns his lungs. How the pressure makes his bones ache. When the weather starts to drop, how he now experiences migraines and illnesses which leaves him sicker than most with his naturally unwell body. He spent so many centuries wanting out of his small prison, but had not considered (enough) how large in comparison the outside would be. The depth leaves him feeling too open and vulnerable.

Luckily, his spouse has a love for big blankets (too many of them), good for hiding.

The first years without one was no fun. They thought he was lazy, hiding away every day in his shelter, though it was only partly true.

Imagine being Billy Preston. You come in to see hi to the Beatles, your old buddies from Hamburg, and they just casually mention they need a keyboard player for their next album.

Next thing you know, you get get this exact look from Paul fucking McCartney and suddenly you're on a Beatles album.

hey gang. long time no see. i have a few things to update yall on, under the cut -

things have been busy for me over the past several months, been wrapping up my phd, and ive found a wonderful partner im trying to build a life with. as you can imagine all of this has made me present here less. over the years ive posted pictures, ive written porn for the community... and im feeling myself outgrow these things because of where my life is headed. my partner is no less than incredible - but as open as i have been about myself and my past experiences and desires - i really cherish what we have, and i am not particularly keen on sharing what goes on between us with the world here. (sorry, guys!)

what i will share, though, is a bit of how my stoneness has changed over the past few years. at one point in my life, there was a time when penetration was not painful - when i enjoyed being touched - that quickly devolved into discomfort due to several partners being selfish and innattentive. this led me to the stone community - which i am immensely grateful for - and for these years i truly do believe i was stone. i think a part of me still is - it takes immense trust for someone to melt my stone - and ive found a partner that i trust, immensely. thats not to say it isnt challenging anymore - it definitely is - and my body has kept the score. im seeking pelvic floor therapy to not only help with my own sexual experiences, but also for medical reasons (i would like to get a pap without issue one day!). still - i give our community credit for allowing me to explore my sexual identity and expression beyond the normal societal expectations of sexuality - because now i feel like i am my truest self in this sense. i love being a little dyke freak.

that being said... my time here wasnt perfect, and i think i leaned into behaviors that were not helpful to my overall self-confidence. if youre reading this, i think my main message to you is to really reflect on what is serving you, what is making you more confident in yourself, and comfortable in your own identity. you deserve to feel happy and at ease in the body youre in.

regardless, im genuinely glad to have had this community in a very stressful and uncertain time in my life and personal sexual identity. im glad that i could help folks on and off anon by encouraging them to be themselves. all of the heartfelt messages ive received in my inbox over the years truly do mean so much to me.

at the end of the day - this is all just my own personal experience and reflection. ultimately, as i depart from this account, i wanted to say thank you for the folks who were extremely supportive and provided camraderie and laughter and joy in a time in my life when i was trying to find my footing. and for folks who are worried about the most important stuff - yes, my porn archive will remain on ao3. ;)

sluggily yours,

minnow

[chaaistained]

I also struggle with letting go of this place, like I never know if I'm still attached after trying to detach or if I've let go "enough". So may I ask how you personally detach?

hii !! yeh detaching is such a struggle at times, but ironically, other times it’s scarily easy for me

and sadly, it gets easy to detach when i’m not trying to shift 😭 when something goes wrong in my cr life, i start living in my head, i stop being present and attune to my daily happenings

but when i sit down or lie down to shift, i become so consumed with all the negativity and it becomes hard to detach

anyway, enough rambling, my trick to detachment :

this won’t work for everyone but i saturate my mind with intentional senses

i’m extremely gifted at visualising, and i’m not trying to brag when i say this, but i am really good at it and i’m very grateful for that

i can close my eyes and genuinely feel as if i’m in my dr — so i use that to my advantage

now what is an “intentional sense”?

for lack of a better phrase, i “make up” senses, i convince myself that i feel something, until i do

the sound of the aircon is actually the waves outside of my window in my wr, the creak of the bed frame is bcs of how ancient the beds are in hogwarts castle, the car honking in the distance is from batman’s comms while i accidentally fell asleep in the bat cave while he patrols, like . do you catch my drift?

i give meaning for the sounds and the senses i feel, i put a story to it, i branch out into daydreams

and this helps bcs suddenly, it stops being abt detachment and starts being abt attachment, attaching to your dr, attaching to your life, attaching to your future — if you struggle with letting go, then don’t . instead latch on tight to your life, your actual life aka the life you’re shifting to

this is what works for me, and i truly truly hope it also works for you !!

why does it suck?

A couple of things which may or may not be specific to me:

1. I feel like I know more than 99% of people on this. Which is expected when you're producing knowledge. But it also means:

- I cannot read Wikipedia for fun anymore. Because it's wrong about too much.

- Books about my topic have gone from fun to infuriating to read.

- I also know how much other people with similar interests get wrong. But I don't want to be a jerk to people who only have published information because it isn't their fault that they don't know.

- I get mad at signs in museums.

2. I cannot turn off the emotions I feel about this project. My neurodivergence makes it so that my special interests are always imbued with a lot of emotional weight. But academia has a tendency to view that strong of an attachment as bias, so I have to keep a lot of those feelings inside.

3. At least for me, I developed a defense mechanism growing up where I curl up protectively around my special interest and only share with people I trust. Turns out this is impossible if it is also something I'm presenting at conferences. I'm still working on not feeling like every presentation is opening up my insides and showing vulnerability.

4. I've cried about this topic so many times. I cannot admit this to most people because I am a woman in academia.

With all that said, I still feel fortunate that I'm getting paid to research my favorite thing. I just think it's worth acknowledging that it also comes with these other components.
