I've seen a perfect protostar
I've seen a triple quasar, but
I've never seen a dwarf planet go this hard!

whoever needs to hear this: if you got a disability, if you donā€™t know if you have something, if you ever think ā€œitā€™s not that badā€ if you have a thing about guilt, if youā€™re ill, Anything: listen. it is okay to throw things away.
you can throw it away. if it sucks and it stresses you the fuck out, if you just ā€œneed the right time to fix itā€ for the past 3 months. or years. if you loved it once upon a time but it makes you feel kinda weird and guilty now. if itā€™s a jacket youve reaaaally been meaning to mend and then donate. a jar of sauce that ā€œall you have to doā€ is clean out to recycle but itā€™s been a week and now thereā€™s a small colony growing in it. slowly shredding to bits fabric scraps you plan to use to fix something. busted picture frame. cracked mug. old shoes. extra box. an entire pack of granola bars that you hate so much but donā€™t want to waste.
life is already so goddamn difficult for us. i know you still care about recycling and the environment and sustainability. but itā€™s okay, i promise. sometimes you have to take care of your space. sometimes you have to cut your losses so you can actually have energy to recycle the next thing. get rid of the old shirt before it turns into a tornado pile of guilt under the bed. youā€™re not a bad person. you can throw this one away.

Going to be really honest, if you're disabled, you truly don't owe people - or the world - access to your diagnoses, symptoms, accessibility needs (and why you need them), mental health history, trauma, or anything like that.
The urge to force people to lay themselves out so they can be picked apart, consumed, and feasted upon by people who demand that their comfort outweigh that of a disabled person's is an ableist pipe dream. It is the urge to control that which you feel you have no control over, and it's your right to refuse to play that game, that role.

Yeah this is about right (as always my thoughts are in the tags so there's actually kei content there lmao)
#Hester I adore you they could never make me hate you. Seriously the first chapter in 6 (bad candy) is like my favourite opener#Kei they could NEVER EVER make me hate you. did nothing wrong ever. rhian when I CATCH you#its so funny how my two favourite characters just like. hate each other. like japeth literally kills him#sad cause they're so SIMILAR. theyre both victims of Dog Metaphor its so sad that kei does Not like japeth in the slightest#personally if they had a good long discussion about their emotions at like 3am they could've probably stopped TCY from happening#but alas. Aric. somehow its all his fault again. why do I have an aricposting tag but not a keiposting one.#Hester easily has the best overall characterisation arc I love love love the way soman writes her#I remember when I read 6 for the first time#before japeth insanity happened#I used to anticipate her chapters over like everyone else's. Hester the 1 lesbian in the series you are deeply loved#I could write whole essays about japeth and kei's characterisation it is so sad that soman forgets kei exists#like he's meant to be rhian's eagle. that's his job. that's what he's spent a Long Time anticipating becoming#but rhian refuses to acknowledge it. instead he calls Japeth his eagle in book 4's ending#He eventually falls in love with Sophie#he only ever cares about the crown#how he GETS to the crown#and bringing his mother back. he lies more than japeth#and never once does he get to be the eagle. There's only three spaces - lion/eagle/snake - and he doesn't get to be any of them#dont even get me started on how he dies. surrounded by white swans. being purely good#god rhian II try not to fuck EVERYTHING over challenge. and also Aric. its all arics fault as well#keiposting#japethposting#actually not really jposting. didn't do it that much#sge#tsfgae#school for good and evil#the school for good and evil#sfgae#the school of good and evil#as much as I adore Hester I dont think I will talk about her much in detail ever so no hesterposting yet

The way that the sun hits leaves and clouds. I feel like I could watch the colors change forever. If I could slow down for that long.
#i keep forgetting a have a deck now. i can go outside and sit there#im doing that now. sitting in the corner of a deck full of empty chairs. staring up at a big pine tree where the sun is striking it gold#at the top. i like how thr light hits the needles. if the sky was black it would look like its on fire#theres a tree outside my bedroom window too. in the morning. after the sunrises it catches thr light and refelcts the most perfect shade#of green. the kind of green that flutters translucent like youre looking up from the bottom of a pool. the light the light its all about#the sun. everything everything is about the sun. when i start my project I'll be focused on understanding how organisms catch the light bc#its so incredible and complicated it would make my chest swell to bursting if there wasnt an empty bleeding wound in my gut. a#metaphorical wound of course. i dunno. its just difficult bc right now my mood is inflated by hormones. not even that much i think I'm#just at what shoulf be a normal level of happiness so i can be slow for a minute. but just a minute bc i kno it won't last long#sorry i cant shut the fuck up when im like this but i dunno i just feel like i havr to document these ephemeral moments before they're gone#its just difficult when you kno the world is so full of beautiful things but 95% of the time your eyes are too clouded to see it#everyone tells me i work too much but i feel like im just staring off into space being miserable 60% of the time. ive just done so much#damage over the past few years im coming into a new lab as damaged goods. ive got an albatross around my neck in thr form of data i#collected so self destructively that the idea of having anything to do with its publication makes me hate myself. everytime someone tells#me good job on collecting so so so much data it feels like they're congratulating me for breaking something within myself. like i slit my#wrists and bled out on a lab bench and theyre saying good job and theyre excited for me and i have to grin and bear it and pretend im#excited too. but im not bc ive burned everything inside me to ash. so when im elevated enough to be distracted by the clouds and trees it#feels like healing. like seeing angels. beautiful ephemeral beams of light. i wish i could slow down enough to watch them. but now thr sun#is hitting the horizon and the sky is going gradually dark and i should go inside. bc i have many things to do in the morning. so that's#what ill do. and ill try to get more thsn 6hrs of sleep but its hard when your body is vibrating over with energy#but at least i dont feel tired in the morning. something in my head must be on fire#unrelated#hm i should maybe add a tw to this#tw self injury#but its the kind thst makes u good at ur Job. its the kind ppl reward. so they don't understand when u say its destroying ur life#but im trying to get better. i say as i gear up for an insane semester lol but i do mean it

still rolling perinheri around in my head btw. that "the eclipse is swallowed by the crimson moon" line from dainsleif's introduction makes a lot more sense now. lol
#personal stuff#delete later#what's with khaenri'ah's dynasties being moon-based. you guys do not have a moon down there.#or maybe they do? enkanomiya had a fake sun sure but maybe they stole one of the moon sisters' corpses or something idk.#joking. i know there's a line about them glimpsing the sun and the moon in perinheri.#the line about the seas being used as a metaphor for the space projected by the stars... oh mona stars lore we're really in it now#but yeah they really said sorry no dain quest with the march update like normal :( here's some khaenri'ah lore snippets instead#the crimson moon dynasty being all about alchemy and beastmastering... the rifthounds coming from this time...#so rhinedottir's probably from the crimson moon dynasty then.#this means little to me since we have no idea how long the eclipse dynasty lasted before the cataclysm happened#still cool to know more about the dynasties though. khaenri'ah lore that doesn't revolve around the cataclysm my beloved.#i mean it does kind of. it lends context to the cataclysm in that the crimson moon [dynasty] swallowed the eclipse [dynasty]#or at least the legacy of the crimson moon dynasty [alchemy; beastmastering; and likely a connection with the abyss] did that#really curious to know if there was like. political unrest in khaenri'ah based on the two [or more] dynasties vying for power?#hmm. also alberich namedrop in perinheri wooo#diluc and kaeya shaking hands our family name comes from a guy way back when who was a knight!!

worst thing about being disabled is that now I am fully and completely aware of exactly how much I am worth to everyone I know. And it is not a lot!!
#like. it gets to me. A lot of the time itā€™s ohhh your life is priceless and. Well. Okay I did just see you put a price on it though.#like. Itā€™s not always blatant but the laziness comments get to me. The stupid comments get to me. The money comments also get to me.#Either all life is precious or I am a drain on society. you cannot have both.#Why is my life worth less than twenty dollars. Better yet why are YOU gambling with MY life. wear your FUCKING masks.#like Iā€™m usually fine bc I simply do not have the capacity for any more shit. I am existing in less dimensions than most ppl and Not Aware#And then when I am better I experience two entire years of Concentrated Cosmic Horror before I fold back down into being two dimensional#Cosmic horror? Eldritch horror? I DONT ACTUALLY KNOW. what I do know is that I straight up Do Not believe in the soul anymore bc of this!#like Iā€™m horrified!! It is literally horrifying. If I still had all of me I could write some deeply fucked up metaphor but rn what Iā€™ve got#Is like. okay so Iā€™m supposed to be like. A galaxy on the inside folded into a person shape. Right#thereā€™s stuff happening in there. three to five trains of thought at once etc. etc. and that is not what I have anymore. what I have now is#like. One planet and a white dwarf. not even a neutron star. And everything else went out so gradually that I didnā€™t really notice but#I woke up one morning and itā€™s not there and then I got into the habit of not looking up bc thatā€™s a lot of work and I have to keep paintin#galaxies on the ash of this stupid little planet. And then I experience random bandaid treatment and Have The Knowledge again and.#I get to experience Platoā€™s allegory of the cave in REAL TIME and involuntarily!!#It really does suck that the only time I am able to comprehend the magnitude of my loss is when Iā€™m not experiencing it!! bad times!!#Iā€™m tired of being agreeable. Wear masks. Petition for air purifiers in public spaces. Or I start biting for real#if you notice Iā€™m dealing with long covid a. BADLY. youā€™re right!! Gold fucking star! I challenge ANYONE to deal with The Bullshit actually#Iā€™m not going to let myself be martyred for the fucking. Economy. Bull FUCKING shit.

The mistake people are making is thinking that Jean and Harry are foils, actually. They're not. Kim and Harry are foils. Kim and Jean are foils.
Jean is not Harry's sane, sober, "together" counterpart. He is not a normal guy who was "driven mad" by Harry. He SAYS as much, multiple times.
Jean is Harry. And he knows it! And he can't fucking STAND it.
The seething tar pit of hypocrisy IS THE APPEAL!
Also I think he's funny.

Moe/Alfonse dynamic ultimately boils down to Moe's incessant Need to act like it's doing better than it actually is and has it all figured out and gets a bit (extremely) annoying and self-righteous about it at times. It's not as though Moe is disingenuous, it desperately wants to embody the things it believes in (the power of friendship and well-managed mental health symptoms) but these things do Not come naturally to it/are things it actively had to Learn and Put Into Practice (which makes it even MORE annoying and self-righteous, when it has Achieved the Goal. This is what helped ME I am going to help you now. 50-50 shot this Does or Does Not Help).
Until something Breaks, and Alfonse Realizes. Ohhhhhhhhh, you're full of shit, aren't you? Same as me. Okay. Well. PVP enabled. By the time Moe realizes OH this is like, The Worst Guy I could have possibly brought all my issues to, like I was built in a lab to stress him the fuck out and piss him the fuck off, it's too late. Not only is it getting a taste of its own medicine (HORRIBLE), every time it slinks away Alfonse is ready to fucking get its ass (UNBEARABLE). Or Alfonse is experiencing a category 10 withdrawing into himself event but when he eventually comes around (either on his own accord or Moe looming in the doorway gently like "hey. I'm here. If you need anyone to talk to. If you want. Only if you're okay with it. If you're ready. Doesn't have to be me, either. But I think it would be good to talk to Somebody. Okay? Take care of yourself") Moe is MORE than ready to give its best most hypocritical advice.
They are just as bad as each other and somehow it...? Doesn't make them worse?? They might even be onto something???? They seem to be enjoying this actually? Like it's enrichment for them? Huh. Alright. Repeat ad nauseam until something weird and gay happens (as if the mutual Obsession they ended up developing for each other wasn't inherently weird and gay anyway)

Brother why are there so many roaches we have had TWO full exterminations and BOTH TIMES the roaches came back. The first time there were less of them for a week (still some) but the second time there was absolutely zero difference in the number of roaches even immediately after the extermination. Like man. What am I supposed to do about this
#theyā€™re in all the appliances dawg how am I supposed to cook šŸ˜­#and my sister is just like ā€˜just move out!!!ā€™ brother WHERE#she is actually moving out on the shortest notice imaginable cuz she canā€™t deal with the roaches#going to our ex step fathers house cuz she already planned to move in there with her partner#but now sheā€™s going there early cuz of the roaches#and like okay sure but WE canā€™t move in there. and yet sheā€™s like ā€˜find a new place!ā€™ brother we renewed the lease#and also do you know how the world works nowadays you canā€™t move anywhere itā€™s always more expensive šŸ˜­#weā€™re like frogs in boiling water#I jumped ahead with that metaphor but Iā€™m too lazy to backtrack to explain how I got there#anyways yknow the roach guys said the infestation was REALLY bad and they wanted to do a follow up#but idk when that follow up is cuz itā€™s been a month since the extermination and there has been 0 difference. as soon as we came back to the#apartment there were still roaches on the walls#like man what am I supposed to do theyā€™re everywhere and it would be so hard to move out šŸ˜­#vent#<- figure Iā€™ll add that cuz like. thatā€™s what this is. my life is just not great rn. constantly hungry too cuz we struggle with groceries#and Iā€™m too scared to make myself some food cuz of the obscene amount of roaches. there was a roach in the dinner last night. then my mom#invited us to dinner at her place and refused to get us dinner.#said she wanted to hang out and didnā€™t talk to me so wtf#itā€™s just not going well. I posted happily about how I got those gifts but honestly I canā€™t even enjoy them because thereā€™s too many roaches#like I donā€™t know where to put things so that roaches donā€™t get them. thereā€™s no safe space.
