initially this post had some commentary about interests right now. and then it turned into a ramble about personal healing in the tags. so the interest post is going separately.
#i have been possessed by my fourteen year old self.#except now i am *way* less ashamed of my interests#<- oh wow when you're in a place where all your interests that are unique to you are shamed constantly you stop enjoying them#there were so many things i hoarded as ''just mine'' because i was scared that they'd be stolen from me in one way or another#because either it'd be co-opted and i'd have to confirm to their view of said interest. or i'd be shamed and belittled for enjoying it#there are so many little things now (even wider than like. media interests. like literal aspects of myself) that feel wrong to share becaus#the only way to keep it safe was to keep it close to my chest#there are a few names i'd love to go by but as soon as i think about actually telling someone it i feel like i might#(and sometimes do) have a panic attack about it#which is stupid!!! the people around me now love me!!!! and i love them!!!!!#all that to say. being able to post about armand and dm is kind of like. a rebellion i guess#tvc and specifically armand were so important to me because back then i kind of saw myself in him? v. jaded and disconnected with the world#and seeking someone to bring them forward and into a new space to try and reinvent themself#and wanting someone to love them hard enough that it encompassed everything#i wanted to be what daniel was to armand and what armand was to daniel#<- very healthy way to think about the world and relationships btw <3 i was so normal and fine and this was not a sign something was wrong#god this turned into a bit of a vent thing huh.#i'm not like. feeling big feelings i should clarify. i feel like i'm examining them from a distance and taking notes like a scientist lol#it's a thing of like. knowing how unhealthy everything was and acknowledging that i'm healing. slowly; sure. but i am healing#i got to play a game one of them had tainted last week. it was hard and fun and i had big feelings when i was playing#because it was a little triggering. but i did it. i managed. i felt better for it.#i told my partner about one of my favourite bands back in 2021 and now they listen to them too and that's a little bit of joy#because it was one of the things that was deemed ''bad'' and that i can share that with someone now and feel safe to love it is good#and being able to be as obsessive and hyperfixated as i am right now without it being unsafe is really really lovely#and it is making me lean into it! i can engage with this without guilt! i want to fuck that old man!#it's silly and difficult and big and great and awful and complicated. but it's allowed to be. i'm allowed to be.

Some of those doctors make hating oat milk their entire personality. I hate them. Cannot pretend to find them funny or like i give a shit. Fucking pretentious assholes
#also my colleague (the girl i had my shift with) is the exact opposite of me in all aspects. asked me if I'd ever worked in customer service#because i couldn't care less about being fake friendly to assholes and don't care if they like the service or not#like bitch those people don't have any other choice but drink our fucking coffee it's not like I'm competing with anyone#or like they pay us in any way. i get paid for doing the dumb work i have to do not for stroking some dumb ass doctors' egos#they come out of their rooms once an hour to get coffee and we have the cups on the table and i wouldn't even Think of#HANDING them the cups and smiling sweetly at them and asking 'coffee? tea?? :))'#I'll just assume these grown adults will get their stupid coffee or tea when they want some. it's not like they don't know where it is#(and i AM friendly and smile when someone is coming in our direction but why the fuck do you need to get so disgustingly friendly with them#if someone held up a cup asking if i.want some coffee I'd leave immediately even if i came just for coffee. it's creepy)#anyway. she's nice. I'm not.#there's normal people who will get their coffee and maybe ask if the milk in the little jug is cow milk to which I'll happily reply 'yes#:)'. then there's the other people who see the oat milk and make it clear they are the most insufferable people on the planet#(and i pity their patients so much. not much to choose from i guess but if i had that as a doctor I'd happily just die)#like everyone who took oatmilk could do it without making a fuss about the cow milk on the table. the cow milk lovers could never#'the oat milk is in front of the actual milk. this is unacceptable. i hate such healthy bullshit' lol okay#'OAT milk?? I'll leave this to the horses! THANK GOD you have actual milk!'#my favorite was the one who really took personal offense with its sheer presence. as if it had killed half of his patients lmao#'we had 50 patients with xyz problem. ALL of them drink oat milk. they cannot see the connection. it's really unhealthy'#at this point i just said i didn't care and stopped paying attention and he started complaining to his doctor colleague about how#oat milk is advertised to be healthy and how it's actually the opposite and i just find that very funny compared to the first comment#from that one guy who doesn't like such healthy bullshit. you guys need to find a consensus on the oatmilk issue i think. no one takes you#seriously if you contradict yourself like this. also i couldn't care less about the healthiness of the milk alternative of my choice. bitch.#next week I'll end up killing someone. i hope they all die from their cow milk. (but not the ones who took cow milk and didn't say anything#about the oat milk. they can continue living as they didn't annoy me)#void screams#some of these doctors were actually quite nice (most of them even). one even brought an applicant to us telling her to get some coffee#(which we are not allowed to give to applicants. but i don't care. I'd rather they get something than some of the asshole jury members#who hate oat milk (which is not the issue. the issue is them making it everybody else's issue that they don't like oat milk))

hey this may be a weird question so feel free to never answer but how did you go about gaining weight? you're so happy with it and i think it may be for me too but i wouldn't know the first step towards that happiness so,,
i’m gonna be so honest it just happened naturally when i went on testosterone. i didn’t drastically change my diet or exercise, if anything i ended up getting more exercise from walking all over my campus (i started t before i started college), and i definitely need to eat more than i used to, but nothing drastic. it’s just how my body reacted to having more testosterone. i didn’t expect it at all going into it, although i’m very glad it happened, but some people lose weight on hrt and some people dont have a weight change ag all, it just depends on the person. since i did literally nothing to gain weight other than hrt, and obviously i have no idea whether hrt is something you even remotely want to do, and hrt isn’t even a guarantee your weight will change at all, i cant do much other than share my own experience 😭 but i wish you luck in whatever you end up doing, and i hope you enjoy your body!
and this might be a weird answer, but if you feel comfortable, you could always try poking around in a weight gain fetish community somewhere online. it’s not really something i’m into so i can’t say whether or not anything will come from it, but i know it exists and it’s a group of people who know how to gain weight, and i’m sure some of them post about how they do it. i won’t give out any more medical advice on tumblr, and i hesitate to ask if anyone else has any advice, but i’m sure the very best thing you could do is talk to a medical professional about it, and just make sure to take good care of your body no matter how much you weigh. weight and health will never measure your worth as a person, but you should always try and take care of your body as best you can. and eat your veggies 👍
#inbox#anon#just make sure your body is healthy and you can do whatever with it#i just let my body do what it wanted to do and i’m still perfectly healthy#but please do make sure you’re taking care of your body because it’s not fun to have any sort of chronic physical health issues no matter#what the source is#go walk around a lot it’s really good exercise and very easy to do if you’re physically able and have a space to walk in#also im not a doctor don’t listen to everything i say im just some guy. fyi#i really truly do wish we couoh completely get rid of the stigma that fat=unhealthy forever and ever#i am just as healthy if not more healthy 50+lb heavier than i was before i went on t#sorry for the ramble lol again i cant do much other than share my own experience#also i do really want to stress that unhealthy fat people will always exist and still deserve love and respect and society treats them badly#and i bring this up because i’ve seen a lot of ppl who correctly argue that fat people can be just as healthy still look upon unhealthy fat#people with scorn#and that shit makes me so mad#sorry for the tangent but i think it’s important#i love you fat people

i hate when i act like a bitchy little attention whore and it turns out not to be justified
#but also i need attention or i will die#and it is actually okay to want a certain level of attention in a relationship#i mean not 24/7 attention and they can never do anything else lol. but enough to feel like you're actually special to them#but it's not healthy to try to get it from someone who will never give me enough#i love analyzing myself. but a lot of my toxic/unhealthy behaviors come from unmet needs that are still unmet after i communicate them#and i need to learn to let people go instead of letting it get to the point that i act badly because i resent them for not meeting my needs#have i mentioned that this is my public diary?

I actually saw someone on YouTube say “Today my husband told me he didn’t need me, and HE IS SO RIGHT. Nobody ever needs anyone!! #Boundaries! ����” and like…omg what the fuck. Everything’s “toxic” “codependent” “unhealthy” “crossing boundaries” and a “red flag” these days. Everything. What the fuck is left in romance these days that therapyspeak-obsessed individuals haven’t deemed unhealthy?? Like omgg it is NOT unhealthy to consider your spouse someone you need in your life. Jesus. And like, I’m not a huge romantic either, but damn, let couples be as passionate as they want to be. What happened to the era of writing lengthy love letters?? Now it’s all “let’s go to couples therapy to heal our inner children together UwU we’ll set boundaries that we’re not allowed to hug each other more than 10 times in a year, OR ELSE THAT’S CODEPENDENCE!!!1!1 And we should only kiss 20 times in a year. BOUNDARIES!!!” like damn y’all therapyspeak people really sucked the fun out of romance lol. Really sucked the joy and whimsy and passion and mystery and magic and intrigue out of it. I’d post a snippet of the famous Lemony Snickett “I’ll love you even if you marry someone else and spend the rest of your days wishing you had married me instead” poem, but those “BOUNDARIES!!!1!1” people would just call him an obsessed stalker or something. Lmfao. As if poetry is supposed to be anything short of obsession, desire, and passion. 🤦🏻♀️
#txt#I do think there is a fine line between actually toxic unhealthy obsession and just like. being kind of obsessed with your partner in a -#- healthy way because you genuinely love them wholeheartedly. like. those are two different things#I don’t agree with the notion that you need to keep your partner at arms length at all times to maintain boundaries or whatever lol#like I’m sorry but that’s insane to me

got a really intense urge to check on my ex tonight, thought i was just being mean to myself but he posted some really sad shit on reddit :/
#feels a little like a poke from the universe like “hey he's not ok”#but he also has me blocked on EVERY platform you could ever think of so i'm not going to reach out#kids if you ever block someone and want to make sure they actually can't see your shit you need to change your username#i occasionally check on my high school ex too because his tumblr url is the same (13 years later lol)#is it the most healthy thing to do? no not at all but i don't reach out to them in any way so i figure it's just unhealthy for me

Numerology observations
I've genuinely learned a lot from @novy2sirius when it comes to numerology so much so that it has helped me make so much sense out of many experience in my life. Therefore I wanted to share some numerology observations with all of you.
astrobydalia
People with 9 energy are so deceitful, they are easily seen as innocent. On the contrary people can see 9s as someone pretty suspicious because they have an air of mystery to them and are the kind of person who you think you know but actually you don't like at all. They always hide the most BIZARRE shit, I'm telling you their life is SO weird. This is how I see 9 people tbh lmao
I've never met a 11 life path person that was emotionally okay, but the weird thing is that they tend to want to lie to themselves and pretend they are okay all the time. All the ones that've met had diagnosed depression and spent big chunks of their lives in very VERY low lows like it's truly hard to watch. Also, random note but I've seen that they are secretly very resentful too and have a hard time letting go of things and moving on. Most of the 11 people I've met had Earth Moon or strong Saturn influence in their moon
Also, I met a 11 guy once who would often say "I have no doubt in my mind that I will be famous" lol (11 is rated to fame)
22 is a more chill number. I've seen more developed 22s than developed 11s. 22 people are very mature and level-headed, tend to have very balanced mindset for most things. However they tend to think they're the only ones who know best, they give good advice but suck at taking any.
So one of the things Novy said is that the date you meet someone in will be a significant energy in the relationship you have with them. Every person I've met on a 5 day are people I travel a lot with or people I've had long-distance relationships with (5 is related travel)
I don't have much experience with 2 energy but from what I've seen it is pretty mellow energy. The people with 2 energy are pretty harmless individuals even when they have other intense energies going on
I get along with 7 life path people cause I'm a 5 but something I've noticed about these people is that they really do struggle making genuine connections "from the heart" if that makes sense. They always rationalize getting in and out of a relationship giving more importance to practical/beneficial reasons rather than emotional ones. When they do try to follow their heart they fail miserably cause they confuse making decisions from their heart with total recklessness
Life path 1 people are so.... immature. And have very obvious anger issues. They have the patience and emotional regulation of a toddler, really do embody the Aries stereotype. At their worst they can be pretty intolerant towards other's pov. Yeah life path 1 is very passionate and driven and all and I do get along with them but I also tend to keep at arms length a little cause they're energy is very chaotic and destructive tbh
Let me tell you too that unhealthy life path 1 people are one of the most CRUEL and mean people I've ever seen like... it's giving blood lust (not literally but you know what I mean)
Life path 6 can indeed be caring and generous but I've met a lot of them who are actually very selfish, greedy and materialistic. It's like they see life mostly through the lens of material gain. They literally remind me of this clip fr.
I have good experience with 6 people tho. My manager for example is a 6 life path and I literally don't know what I'd do without him, he's so patient, always there when I need him and is always on my side even when I mess up. 6 people are also very good at setting healthy boundaries too
A lot of the life path 6 I've met had taurus placements or where earth doms astrologically
The number I struggle getting along with the most is 4 tbh. They are huge party poppers even when they're healthy and have more need for control than 8s imo. A lot of 4 people I know are the type to rain on your parade for no reason in the name of being "realistic" but really they're just being bitter imo. I know 4 people have a hard life but I've noticed they tend to often have this attitude of "if I couldn't be happy then you can't either"
What I've noticed with 8 people is that yes they can be controlling but it's not like they go around policing others like 4s do. 8s control in a very subtle and indirect way, it really reminds me a lot of scorpio energy/8th house placements. It's more like they keep in control in any situation by staying low-key and are the kind of people that is hard to knock down, yet they know how to get under other's skin
I'd describe 8s as more domineering. They can be pretty chill, fun and won't mess with anyone as long as they feel like they have the upper hand in situations. That's why they are stubborn af and refuse to be wrong and why they do not react well AT ALL to animosity. This also means that at their worst tend to have HUGE superiority complex and will minimize others and be condescending just to feel superior
One time I witnessed an argument between a 1 and an 8 (it was messy) and even tho the 8 person was wrong imo they made the 1 person back down eventually (which, if you know how 1s are, that's a huge thing) and from that experience I learned that you're better off disagreeing with a 1 than disagreeing with an 8
People with 3 energy have such a refreshing energy I love them!!!! The type to keep a young spirit regardless of their age but like in a good way. Their sense of hope and optimism can't be crushed, all the ones I've met were the kind of people who always knew how to bounce back from difficult situations.

Yeah from the other side of this, literally all of those 'fake chicken' and any other fake meat product are all made from soy here. I've got a severe allergy to soy. It's seriously annoying when they label stuff like its chicken and its only when you look really carefully you see its 'fake chicken' or 'not chicken' or something along those lines. I've always eaten quite a lot of veggie food as i grew up with veggie parents but I'm put off from buying stuff now as rather than it being called a 'soy burger' which I straight away know I can't eat, without bothering to read through the ingredients, they call it 'fake chicken'. And they are always selling these fake meat products like they are a healthier option. Frankly, if it barely resembles the food it started out as, I don't see how any of the 'burger bad, too processed' arguments don't apply to it??? I miss when the veggie section was filled with things that actually tasted like vegetables? Pea burgers and bean burgers were good! I don't want not-beef or not-chicken
I would really appreciate if grocery stores stopped putting organic meats and plant based fake meat products in the same section of the cooler, like mixed up together. They’re not the same thing, I cannot eat chicken no matter if it’s organic or free range or whatever, and I have no doubt a meat eater would likewise be unhappy to have found they grabbed a plant based product when they were wanting real chicken. The packaging and styling of both products looks so similar, I now have to spend so much time carefully analyzing everything I want to buy
#from a health perspective i really don't think a lot of these 'plant based' foods are as good for the human body as ppl think either#if that's what you want to eat go ahead. i don't think 'healthy eating' should be a moral requirement lol#but it seems very opportunistic for these corporate entities to be selling ppl on the idea that they are eating healthier and#saving the planet. by eating foods that are just as processed as a highly processed meat product and have excessive food miles#I've been reading recently about ultra processed foods which is a way of catagorising the health of foods based on how processed they are#at first i was really sceptical but tbh after some reading im inclined to think there's a lot more truth to it than advertisers might want#you to believe#anyway. what surprises a lot of ppl when you start rating things by how processed they are is a lot of 'healthy options' rate really highly#sliced bread is one of the worst. even the wholemeal no sugar options. and not just in the us (I'm in europe) and all these#'plant based' ready to go foods are too. (obviously so are the meat ones but people see sausage rolls and burgers as unhealthy. they pick#'not chicken' often because they are trying to be more health/environment concious. so it seems really unfair that they are being mislead#the idea behind rating foods by their processing is when you are processing them to that degree.you are changing the structure of that food#which impacts on the bodies ability to digest it. often they are partway to be broken down before they reach your mouth which gives you#sugar spikes you wouldn't get from that food before it was processed to such a degree. your body also responds differently to fat that's#on its way to being broken down and more can end up being stored. plus plant nutrients begin to break down from point of harvest so#these foods which are processed so they last longer tend to be less nutritionally dense. it's very interesting.#i don't think we should shame ppl for picking less healthy options but they should know they are picking less healthy options#frankly if i eat something that's not good for me. i want it to taste like its not good for me!#I've no interest if the 'healthier option' doesnt taste as good as the alternative and also has no health benefits but that's just me

YOU COULD'VE DIED!
So I had this request and I totally forgot about it and I'm so so so so so so so sorry lol
Pairing: Theodore Nott x fem!reader
Warnings: mentions of weight, anxiety attacks, eating disorder, reader has adhd, not proof read and my writing lol
Request: So the reader a long time ago like when she was eighth/9ish used to be on the bigger side before her adhd meds and then got really skinny and stuff and timeskip to sixth year her meds don’t really work aswelll so she starts getting an appetite that was usually suppressed and she quit quidditch last year because of stress and her biggest fear is secretly getting fat again and she starts to have so much anxiety about it
WARNING: I am in no way shaming any one in this text. You are beautiful the way you are. I'm just adhering to the request. I do not agree with anything horrible about weight or anything else you can think of that is in this text.
I'm also really really sorry if you go through eating disorders or something similar to what's mentioned in this text x stay strong xx you're not alone 💕
Most people have nightmares about psycho killers in white masks with a knife who are really crazily into fictional movies they try to make it reality. Most people have nightmares about falling from really high cliffs with jagged edges that could rip you in half quicker than the speed of the platform 9¾'s train. Most people have nightmares about burning in fires that could kill you probably faster than the Dursleys burnt Harry's hogwarts letters.
But not you. You had nightmares about gaining weight. About being the girl that you were when you were nine. You hated your ADHD but oh those adhd meds really helped you to stop being the obese person you were. You were disgusted by your younger self even though you shouldn't have been.
You sat in the Great Hall processing your nightmare. You knew you had a normal weight, probably even lower than healthy. And yet you looked around at all those pretty girls with effortless hourglass bodies and wished you could look like them. You knew you had a normal weight and yet your dreams, or perhaps nightmares, kept on taunting you about it.
Those thoughts clouded your mind. Filled your head. Over and over. And over. Until you felt like starving yourself. And you'd do that until you fainted and realised it's really unhealthy. But then it'd be too late and this vicious cycle continued until you felt like you couldn't do it anymore. Until you were sick of being yourself. Until you wished you were anyone but yourself. Until y-
"Hey y/n!" Theo greeted you as he entered the Great Hall. He was the first one there. After you of course. He grabbed a vanilla cupcake with strawberry icing and sprinkles for himself and a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing for you.
"here I got you a chocolate cupcake with chocolate icing. Your favourite." Theo smiled as he passed it on to you.
Even though your heart wanted to accept it, your brain knew better.
"no I'm fine, really! Thanks so much though! I'm full" you replied. as if to reprimand you, your stomach rumbled.
"your stomach disagrees" he chuckled. "go on have it it's fine it's just a cupcake"
You knew he was trying to be a good friend. You knew he was looking out for you at yet it was so hard for you to suppress the urge to scream "just a cupcake? JUST A CUPCAKE?! well, I'll have you know that cupcake contains sugar and butter which stores in your body as fat so you wouldn't even suggest it unless you hated me" you obviously didn't say it out loud. You knew you were overreacting in your head.
"erm no thanks." You politely turned the offer of the cupcake down.
"Ya sure?" He asked one last time.
"yup." You replied.
"alright suit yourself" Blaise said as he leaned across the table to get the cupcake from your side.
You didn't have dinner that night and the couple of nights after either. You knew you should've. But you were so insecure about your weight you just couldn't. So you didn't. And you should've. You really should've.
Unfortunately for you, you realised that too late.
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆。・:*:・゚★,。*:☆
You woke up on a white bed. Where were you? You glanced around. There was no way. You were in a hospital bed. After Theo explained it to you, you realised what had happened. On your way to the dorm you had fainted due to the lack of food. You had no energy left in your body and it finally gave out. Theo had realised you had fainted and had carried you to the Madam Pomfrey's. He looked strangely cross at you.
"T-thanks" you replied to him.
"for what?" He said. "I couldn't save you."
"you kinda did" you said smiling at him.
He pulled something out of his pocket and handed it to you. It was a cookie.
Before you could say no, he cut you off.
"you are eating this cookie right now or I will never forgive myself for letting you starve yourself."
You reluctantly grabbed the cookie.
"you didn't make me starve myself. I did it to myself. It's not your fault." You replied as you broke a piece off the cookie.
"but why?" He asked.
"sorry?"
"why did you starve yourself"
"erm i well i had a nightmare I was gaining weight and I thought I was I had gained half a kilogram since last year and I just thought I'd look ugly and I just didn't want to not be liked by anyone!" there it was. The word vomit. The bundle of feelings inside of you all out to the one person you thought would be disgusted by you if you ever gained weight. The one person you loved.
"Woah! Slow down. No matter how many kilograms you put in you'll never be fat or ugly! I can't believe you let a nightmare lead you on! You can't have an unhealthy relationship with food!" He exclaimed.
"you're just saying that."
"I'm not just saying that. I mean it y/n. From the moment I laid eyes on you, I fell in love with you and a couple kilograms isn't gonna change that." He replied.
"Aw- wait you what?!" You asked realising what he just said.
"I thought it was obvious? I love you y/n. I always have" Theo said. "but I'm still cross at you for not eating food."
"ok ok I'm sorry." You replied.
"YOU COULD'VE DIED!" Pansy exclaimed bursting into the room.
"Jesus Christ Pansy! You almost gave me a heart attack!" You said shocked at her entrance.
But you knew her words were right. And so were Theo's. From that moment you tried to prevent yourself from starving yourself and with the support of Theo and all your friends it was that much more easy.
。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆。・:*:・゚★,。*:☆

You know I've been feeling a little anxious bc Captain's werewolf form and June's shadowy version of her werewolf form look a lot a like and I always hope no one accuses either of us of design theft like it happened to me with one of my old characters, though I made his werewolf form in like 2020. June is cool as hell (if not cooler) I wouldn't want someone to be a jerk about it. Maybe I should draw them together shaking hands as a preventive measure lol
Heya! I hope this is ok to post but please don't worry about it! June's design is based off of other (mostly animated) werewolf designs I liked, but was given meaning through her story and the reason as to /why/ her form looks a certain way.
It's not that she's just shadowy, it's an intentional visual representation of black trauma. There's are cultural and social stigmas of Black people being systematically denied access to mental health resources or being told that they're just "lazy" or "crazy" or "faking it". June's form is altered by her mental/emotional state, it's what she /believes/ she is due to her past trauma and her story is, in part, learning deal with her trauma in a healthy way.
June's form is also based on the lesser known theories that The Beast of Gévaudan (which June is related to via her lycan lineage) was either a product of mass hysteria from the high number of wolf attacks in the region or was potentially a serial killer. The way the beast is often described (black fur, red lips, white/yellowed eyes and teeth) is similar to racist depictions of Black people in the past. I used this as a basis for designing her form. It's the intention and her story that's important, followed by visuals that are found within the werewolf genre and outside of it.
I'm a little too tired to go more in-depth but I'll leave this quote from the Jim Crow museum:
The mission of the Jim Crow Museum is straightforward: use items of intolerance to teach tolerance. We examine the historical patterns of race relations and the origins and consequences of racist depictions. The aim is to engage visitors in open and honest dialogues about this country's racial history...The Jim Crow Museum is founded on the belief that open, honest, even painful discussions about race are necessary to avoid yesterday's mistakes.
June's story is about racism. It's about intolerance towards black queer folk. It's about how Black people (especially black women) have to suffer under a system that denies them mental health resources, resulting in many Black people turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms. Her design was me intentionally marrying old werewolf motifs with a different perspective on the werewolf genre (since even today is it still mostly a white space). There's a stark difference to me when someone comes up with a similar design independently vs when someone is actively lifting direct inspiration from my work and twisting the meaning in the process.

as climbing class has waned in popularity i've seen (justifiable) criticism of certain fic setups & tropes, and to a extent i agree with a lot of them. but honestly i'll go to bat for josh allowing himself to be helped/cared for.
i've seen this disparagingly called "caretaker chris," and i guess if you think chris is such an asshole that he's incapable of being considerate or caring, then we are on different pages. but i feel like people think that these fics weaken or reduce josh's character. and i'm not saying individual fics aren't capable of mischaracterizing him (i don't even like my own josh characterizations, in my old fics), but i don't agree that this setup inherently does that.
it's different than canon josh, but to me it's an intentional progression. in canon, josh keeps his shit locked down. an obvious example is that he clearly loves and dotes on his sisters but does not want them to know what he's going thru, considering how long it is before hannah finds out. he's also harsh asf to sam if she says that his actions are a cry for help - like i know he's Going Thru It and all, but he just fucking mocks her lmao. at best he wants to shield the people he cares about from these parts of him, and at worst he's just going to bite the hand that reaches out.
........which is exactly why i enjoy allowing him to see that vulnerability isn't weakness, and that it's ok to accept help + care when you need it. this can happen in any universe, in any context, bc i think his desire to close off and/or bite the hand are core character traits that are not dependent on canon events. but my point is, this is growth. or it can be, when done well. bc josh's canon attitude isn't healthy lol. i obviously love an unhealthy guy as much as the next person, but sometimes its satisfying and cathartic to see your fucked up fav take a step forward.
#i feel the need to repeat that this can still be done badly#and honestly ive been in a writing hole so i havent read old climbing class fic in a long time#maybe i wouldnt like them! i mean i dont even like my own#but as a premise. as a concept. i understand this. and i get why everyone wanted to do their own version of josh accepting the hand#also i have more thoughts on the chris side of this too but im tired and this aint about him rn#maybe later#until dawn#josh washington#climbing class#chris hartley#<- again hes not the star here but yknow. im not a multishipper so i can only speak to this in the context of this specific pairing

I need to explain why I love Tomarry / Harrymort so much (even though they aren't exactly the same ships). I have an issue with ships that involve unhealthy and power-imbalanced relationships (which probably says a lot about me, lol). The way two characters are so drawn to each other, but it will inevitably and necessarily destroy them because they cannot love in a healthy way. They can't find anyone else because no one truly understands them, not like this person does. And yet, it is that very person who will be their downfall. I find that incredibly tragic.
There’s also the fact that often Tom/V loves (or is obsessed with) Harry so deeply that he fully accepts him, without any cracks, even his darkest sides, and more than that, he understands him. He knows his loneliness, the fact that no one will ever truly understand Harry, and that it’s his fault Harry is so traumatized.
I know perfectly and completely (from having experienced it myself) that obsessive love is neither healthy nor pleasant. But I think it’s the idea of being loved deeply and completely by someone. And not just anyone, but someone who has already hurt you.
That their connection isn’t just physical or psychological but extends to the soul itself. They complete each other and are literally connected through their souls. No one could have a deeper or more intimate bond than that.
They are two sides of the same coin, even in colors they are opposites, and yet in their own way, they also share each other’s color (Harry, who is in Gryffindor, so red, but red is the color of Voldemort's eyes, whereas for Voldemort it's the reverse).
Harry is Voldemort’s light, literally a piece of his soul, a link to his humanity, and at the same time, this little piece of soul is Harry's dark side.
They are both orphans, unloved and mistreated in their childhood homes, and incredibly alone. Except Harry considers himself inferior to everyone, while Tom considers himself superior.
They both have opposite ways of reacting to trauma: one never wants to die, and the other wants to die at all costs. One is destroyed by his emotions (Harry), and the other feels neither compassion nor empathy, again, pure opposites. What’s even more striking is that Voldemort "marked him as his equal" through trauma, loss, and isolation, that a traumatized child is set apart, that they feel different. Harry understands Voldemort/Tom because the latter made him like himself.
Voldemort needs to learn to love others, while Harry needs to learn to love himself.
And I can’t find this kind of connection, these parallels, this way in which no other character could ever truly understand and accept them completely, in any other ship (except Hannigram)

I can understand why Fyodor and Dazai aren’t recognized as a prominent ship, especially because Nikolai’s displays of affection are more overt while Fyodor’s is more subdued. If you aren’t interested in Fyozai, I think it’s easier to ignore, which is fine.
But yeah, I agree! Fyodor has always held Dazai on a subtle but definitive pedestal. just his line from the most recent chapter, “I’ve outwitted Dazai and the rest of the world,” shows that Fyodor views Dazai’s intelligence as equal to or greater than the entire world, which is as silly as it is endearing.
This Is Fyodor’s Tenth Anniversary Letter And I’m Crying:
im ill.
so choked up I can’t even call him gay for this
Source
#glad you had the patience to read over my yapping lol#reblog#fyolai and fyozai are so funny to me because I view BOTH of those ships are unrequited#Nikolai wants to be close friends with Fyodor (unrequited)while Fyodor wants to be close friends with Dazai(unrequited)#and what about Dazai? well. he already had a close friend#Oda changed him for the better the way people in healthy and good relationships do#(whereas fyolai and fyozai. wonderfully unhealthy relationships. do not change each other#or at least they change each other for the worst)#that’s why I love them!#the same way Nikolai and Fyodors goals center around attachment Dazais goals center around his past attachment#which is why Dazai would never ally or consider a genuine relationship with Fyodor because it stands against everything he promised to Oda#(At least in this universe)#isn’t attachment so interesting!

❝mars in the 6th house❞
This is how mars in the 6th house has manifested for me.
With my 6th house mars placement I tend to make my daily activities into games or challenges. In my head I’m always like okay let’s see how long it takes me to do xyz. It makes me feel accomplished to get stuff down.
The downside to all of that is the stress I put on my body. Sometimes I don’t know when to stop and I keep pushing through until I feel burned out. Over the years I have gotten better and reminding myself to slow down and be more mindful throughout out the day.
I have always had very high paced busy jobs. The couple times where I had a more low stakes, relaxed job I would start off thinking I was going to enjoy it and then I would hate it. It would just make the day drag on so long. I like feeling challenged and when I am busy the day goes by faster. When I was around 15 I got my first job at a restaurant and it would get extremely busy and chaotic as fuck and honestly I loved it. The dining room would get so full, people were chattering all the time and we would all be in the back running around like chickens with their heads cut off, bumping into each other. Some of my coworkers would get frustrated which is fair but honestly it felt like a game to me. I worked there until I was 19. I have a higher paying, more “professional” job now but to this day that was the most fun job I’ve had.
I have worked at many different places, but the posts that state mars in the 6th house will give you coworkers being jealous and trying to start shit are 100% right. In every job I have had there were coworkers that saw me as threat or would try to start shit with me. I once worked at a hospital when I was in college and the girls working with me (Who were 2-3 years actually older than me) were so hateful and weird. They would constantly be looking at me, gossiping (or straight up trying to argue) and one time one of them lied to the supervisor saying I was slacking off when I wasn’t (literally trying to sabotage my job).
A male coworker there at the time told me they were just hating. I do believe that they were because they were being weird and messy but I also think he was trying to flirt with me..
The rumors are true about your coworkers crushing on you with this placement. And vice versa for me as well at times. It has gone from flirting with coworkers to me actually sleeping with a coworker once. However those times it was never anything serious, more like in the moment things. 6th house placements really know what it means to have a work husband/ wife lol.
another thing about jobs, when people try to start shit it use to get me riled up and I would let people get under my skin (when I was younger). NOW, I laugh and even though it still makes me annoyed, it makes me feel even more motivated to be the best at what I am doing.
I am also quick to leave a job once it has run its course. I am not that emotional when it comes to leaving and starting over somewhere else.
I lose weight very fast. I don’t mean in the sense that I have high metabolism. I mean that if gain weight and I decide I want to lose it, I do simple workouts and in a relatively short time its gone. Its not an unhealthy or harmful way. It makes sense considering mars is action and speed and the 6th house is daily routines and my body and health. Honestly if you have this placement and you are stressing over meal plans or planning specific workouts, just do simple ones and walk more and it wont be as hard as you thought.
I do have a high libido, especially when I am in a relationship. Having a healthy and satisfying sexual relationship is important to me.
I don’t get sick very often and when I do, I fight it off in 1-3 days.
I can be very impulsive in my daily and routines, sometimes harshly. Like I might brush my hair very roughly without realizing or apply lotion onto my skin in a heedless manner. That is something that I did not like and I try to remind myself to treat my body with gentle hands.
My impulsive behavior was worse when I was kid. For example, if I could not get a necklace off of me or bracelet, it would make me so angry and kind of panicked, I would rip it off even if it meant it might break I didn’t care. Me doing what I wanted and feeling free mattered more than whatever I was wearing. This was however another thing I tried to improve on.
Growing up, in my daily routines people use to be mad aggressive towards me as well. Don’t get me wrong, I knew when I was annoying or pushing someones buttons, but the random spurts of anger at me would be very unwarranted.
I feel like at times I can be very guarded as well or tense. When I am angry, I feel it first in my chest and then my stomach will hurt. I don’t like getting worked up because although I can emotionally regulate, it still takes my body a while to calm down. When I was a teenager it would take a long ass time of me practically seething or cursing. Now after a couple deep breaths I’m good.
Mars is aggressive and the 6th house is my health and body and I have definitely taken my anger out on myself as well. My home life had always been very chaotic as a kid and I started self harming at 12 years old and then I stopped when I was around 17 years old.
On a more positive note, I love taking care of my body now. I would never treat it like my enemy or be so careless with myself like I use to. I like working out. I like feeling strong. And also theres a bonus of feeling hot as fuck when I am naked. When Megan thee stallion said, “ When I'm in the gym I think about bitches that I'm shitting on,” I really felt that 💋🔥
