Boothill's reaction to being refueled

REFUELED😭😭😭😭

anyways, i have seen some boothill leaks today. more specifically his animations, lightcone and story of the lightcone and i am EXTREMELY devastated to say that boothill will be highly unfuckable😔😔 but if there’s a will, there’s a way and nobu is full of will to fuck pixels

from what we know so far, there’s a hold in his lower back that kinda works like gas pump hole and a USB port like holes on his right hip. if we use our imaginations enough, those parts are probably his more “sensitive” and “human” parts. kinda like how mechanical prosthetic limbs work y’know? being attached to the nerve muscles and all

imagine you’re a mechanical traveling partner of boothill’s that helps to repair his parts that frequently break or jam. one day, you got a bit too curious and put a finger inside the hole in his lower back, taking boothill by surprise. he lets out a little yelp, a confused “w-what err ya’ doin’ back there, partner?” coming out. it isn’t common to make boothill stutter. or even more, make his mechanical heart let out a louder than usual whirring sound.

curious and intent to make him more embarrassed, you push two more fingers in, rubbing around and feeling the inside of his hole. the more you feel around, the more louder the whirring of his mechanical heart gets. low panting and whimpers falling out as he bites down on his lips. found his weak spot.

I won’t change my mind, they are all little neurodivergent gremlins in my head and I love them

I'm 21 and you know what that means!

I'm having a quarter life crisis

[giantkillerjack]

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

I just realized I've been working on my new DnD charecter sheet for hours on end and it's currently 00:21... I have class at 8:00... Weeeelll ¯⁠\⁠(⁠°⁠_⁠o⁠)⁠/⁠¯

Here's a lil picture of the current state of my desk and a lil look at what I have written down. Side note though, I have done small and short sessions with my friends and siblings. But I haven't been a part of a proper campaign and I'm not the most confident when filling in a charecter sheet.

I do have some of the books (Players handbook, Dungeon master's guide, Monsters of the multiverse and Xanathar's guide to Everything). And the information I've managed to understand has been useful but I struggle to understand everything at times (⁠‘⁠～⁠`⁠;⁠)

But anyway I should try to go to sleep now less I want to be a walking corpse around my campus.

okay but like. I just had the weirdest thought about that ‘don’t look I’m naked’ comic. Which is that that’s essentially the same thing Adam and Eve did after they ate the fruit of knowledge of good&evil. So I feel like the theological implications of that could kneecap Gabe if he doesn’t think V1 is a being with free will.

yeah ok. i dunno man. is this anything

((side note. this isn’t necessarily meant to be in-character or story-accurate or take place at any particular point in time, just a way to explore some Thoughts. i was also imagining more that V1’s words aren't actually spoken, more like Gabriel’s more articulate interpretation of whatever garbled mechanical noise V1 is using to communicate. I think an angel could do that.))

and then they fucked nasty the end

they really put alicent in bridgerton blue on the reunion and genuinely expected me to think that she didn’t in fact march all the way to dragonstone to get wifed up? bfr

[uncanny-tranny]

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.

It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.
