in other news i was in a&e for 12 hours but that's not even the best bit the best bit is the nhs has been assfucked so hard by rishi sunak that on thursday night 10pm i went in and was there until 4am and all they managed to do was a single test and then told me i needed to wait another 4 hours for results because they were so shortstaffed they literally could not do it any sooner so i went home (i live 5 minutes away from the hospital) when people who had been waiting there for even longer than me started clashing with security over how long they were stuck in the waiting room for and then i went back the next morning friday 10am and at long fucking last had a catheter stuck in my arm at 2:30pm after a blood test to prepare for dialysis then wasn't seen again until two hours with a thick ass tube in my arm just fucking about in the waiting room before they decided i do not in fact require dialysis after all and rather i should be presented with a multicoloured corsage of antibiotics to make sure my girlfailure kidneys behave as kidneys should. england is broken without repair and the gods gave our king cancer after he doubled his wages in media res of the cost of living crisis. thank you thank you thank you @memphisbelle and @legobrickcow for bringing me breakfast and visiting me twice when i was at my grimmest i adore you both
#victoria.txt#thursday night was wild because two guys started getting real aggressive about how long the wait time was#and about seven security guards just spawned in out of fuck knows where#also lady on day 2 listened to me describe the worsening of my symptoms overnight and responded with “:///// what's your next of kin”#also there were no seats in the morning and non-patients were straight up refusing to give up their seats and for about two hours i stood#i had a kidney infection#i could not feel my ankles#all this is rishi sunak's fault my lunar new year wish is for him to piss himself in parliament in front of brianna ghey's parents and die

the fanfic writing experience is writing lines that give you butterflies and knowing others probably will gloss right over it.
#'tell me to leave you alone and this time i'll obey' bro stop bro im blushing#writing banger lines like this and something tugging on my heart like 'no no i should save this for something else' but I CAN'T#same experience as the library scene in shire where he grabs her ankle#i could picture it so vividly#the drop in his voice. the wrap of his fingers on bare skin. wah.#and now im feeling that way with THIS#anyways

learning abt friendship decay and "not reaching out to your friends for months at a time unprompted is not neurotypical behaviour" has me feeling a certain way
#experiencing some BIG FEELINGS OVER THIS REVELATION#listen i have never ever been bothered abt not seeing someone in a while or making time to talk to them bc in my mind its like not thst muc#time has passed. i mean it with every fibre of my being that when im like 'oh its ok even though we havent talked in a while and have our#own things going on it doesnt mean we're not friends anymore since we left things on a good note 8 months ago' i sincerely believe that#and for the longest time i just thought everybody makes peace with it at some point and not automatically assuming the other person doesnt#wanna talk to me anymore or smth. my longest lasting friendships are with ppl who work the same way i just thouhght that was normal#whatever organ everybody has that makes them reach out to their friends and plan hang outs i probably dont have it#i was already hesitant to ask out Alex bc i spend almost every waking hour doing smth that isnt talking to ppl unless they happen to be in#the vicinity. and at first it was bc i planned on making sure i had everything set up so i dont get stressed out and do it one at a time#but then i find out theres a friendship decay mechanic? and after dating and marrying someone you lose -10 friendship points for every#day u dont talk to them?? actually ive probably been losing friendship points this whole time without knowing bc of this?????#and i notice a lot of my own habits are also reflected in how i play bc ive been avoiding getting close to pierre and marnie since its more#of a professional relationship. like i know theyre npcs but im approaching it the way i would in real life its fucking nuts#i think its a little relieving im playing /as/ a character than myself bc as im playing im just making up little interactions in my head#than approaching things the way i would myself so it takes a bit of the stress off trying to put myself in there as a spectator. but well#being in a relationship demands a certain amount of energy even more so when theyre things that already take up energy on its own#like making time to talk to your partner and make sure they know theyre loved. i dont always have energy to put all my mental focus into it#and this is true for real life so im not really bothered by not dating anyone. but when its a game and i want my character to be with someo#and i know its fully optional and i know i could just apply the same logic to this i dont /want/ to. sometimes i want to experience#the same things other people do at least to a certain degree without the same emotional andmental stakes#no offense krobus#yapping#stardew#stardew valley#puppy plays sdv#sdv#this game has me by the ankles man

Not the first to say it, but damn can’t believe Galladay really went from toxic yaoi to doomed tragic yaoi.
Alright fellow Galladay trash, where’s the modern AU fix-it fics?
I need to see Gallagher single dad with Misha plus their dog/cat Sleepie falling for entertainment company CEO Sunday. Don’t ask me how they met, fuck it, throw in bodyguard AU Gallagher who works part-time at a bar, boom there that’s how they meet, idk I’m making this up on 3 hours of sleep.
You’ve heard of slow burns, now get ready for Galladay blaze it.
They’re speedrunning the relationship from hate -> annoyance -> mild disgruntlement -> weirdly vibing -> ok wow never knew I needed that in my life -> Sunday is way too ok with spoiling Misha -> ok so we got married -> alright we’re dismantling the government now -> Sunday went to jail for 5 minutes for attempting “peaceful” world domination, don’t worry we (Gallagher) forgave him -> Sunday’s stepping down as CEO to run a coffeeshop idk look someone get him some therapy -> Robin is president now while she still goes on tours -> Misha won an engineering competition while this was all going on
Bottom line: Robin is out living her best life while Sunday is in the back somehow having the most insane week of his life. I have no other notes for her here except that she is happy, and successful, and is Sunday’s last remaining brain cell. She and Misha are having some fun Aunt/Nephew bonding times while Galladay are accidentally-on-purpose committing multiple war crimes.
No, we don’t have time to unpack 2.2 and all its trauma, we cope with modern AU :)
#honkai star rail#hsr#hsr gallagher#hsr sunday#sunday#gallagher#galladay#galladay hsr#I am dying#played the quest for 8 hours straight till 3am#went into a coma right after#woke up#had a breakdown about my little galladay saxophone ficlet somewhat being right about the tragic yaoi of ‘what could have been’#Apollo is that you?#I better start seeing cute fluffy fics of these two now#ok real question#is dormancy/sleepie dog or cat coded?#I was debating it as I wrote this#cuz I feel like Gallagher is a dog person#and the way he he spoke of his pet aka sleepie in those texts seemed like he was a dog#but like#murder cat#constant jokes of sleepie trying to kill Sunday and camera pans to him just trying to bite Sunday’s ankles only to then fall asleep on him#fuck it they have both a cat and a dog#the dog is sleepie while the cat is dormancy it fits#help I can’t stop thinking about Sunday being in straight up denial over liking Gallagher while Robin is just doing the Office Stare™️#misha is weirdly ok with getting a new step parent and Sunday’s natural big brother instincts translate well into taking care of him#it helps that misha is just a polite and cute kid#THERES A TAG LIMIT?! WHAT?!#marrapost

He wants to be held too, Audrey :(
Allison: “Okay. We need to do something clever. Something unprecedented. Something Wilson’s goons won’t see coming…”
Audrey:
“Never let them know your next move, Allison.” 😤😤 *proceeds to immediately drop him and faceplant*
Ink: 👁️👄👁️
#Can you imagine#she tried once#She sprained her ankle#Never tried it again after that#If she could she’d scruff him like a kitten if he misbehaved#Audrey is the middle child but acts like the older sibling#Ink needs attention#He won’t admit it tho#Have more homemade memes#bendy and the ink machine#bendy and the dark revival#batdr#batim#audrey drew#the ink demon#ink demon#ink bendy#bendy memes#bendy the dancing demon#batim bendy#batim memes#BatDr memes#I’m feeling rather goofy today#I laugh at my own jokes#Ink can hold his siblings at the very least#*gently holds*#Allison doesn’t understand why Audrey does stupid stuff#My memes#my stupid random stuff

Haha#I've done the same thing with DAX I keep forgetting about his poor ankle and then it comes up and I'm like ''Oh yeah haha I knew that''#How are some details so sticky and others so smoke-like! Some stay in my brain and others - pffbtl how silly#All the same it's still the Funnest Fun <3#There's something so Extra delightful to have Seen a setpiece - an object - an idea - and then get to interact with it <3 <3#Hitting Pyramid Head with Zelnick's frying pan! Forget PH I can't believe we had the budget for the skillet's appearance fee ♪♫ Hehehe#No but honestly Pyramid Head was incredible ✨ Wonderfully scary and distressing and tense and full of fallout! Terrible things!! ♪♫#I've never drawn him before so it was interesting! :0 His appearance in SH2 looks all squished#Like his belly is jutting out across from a broken spine! Quite spooky#I don't think I fully managed to capture that - kinda just looks like his hip bones are very prominent hehe - but maybe some other time :)#I hope they don't run into him again - for their sake tho haha ♪#DAX continually pulling ZEX behind him to try and protect him (and failing) was something I really Had to put to paper <3#As well as snuggles!! Even before they got Really hurt I was like Oh everyone needs hugs so bad :'0 And they do!! They need so many hugs!#Maybe especially Zelnick poor Captain :'0 Give this boy a break#The injuries are more of a self-guide hehe I'm not sure how accurate they are - they Feel accurate based on handedness et al#I was the least sure for Zelnick since he got tossed (poor thing!) but at least bruises are always fun to draw hehe#The return of my rainbow bruises lol - I only use three colours they're just so vibrant!#DAX trying so~ hard not to be taken in hehe what could these feelings be! Familiarly repressed? No surely not ♪#Be nice ♫

well, so far, momocon is huge. my feet hurt. so much. kirk thornton was lovely. my horns broke right before the homestuck photoshoot, which channelled 2017 me at my first con where, again, i did not have terezi's horns. hopefully the xenoblade and owl house shoots will go better tomorrow.
#libra.txt#def gonna have to bring my rolly chair tomorrow for the other autograph lines. my ankles aren't swollen#but they feel like they should be#but ya kirk (he said i could call him kirk! lol!) was very kind. he shook my hand. cracked jokes. signed my party art#and was so delighted when i gave him a mini print of it ^///^#hopefully things will go well with the others. and then i'll spend the rest of my time exploring artists alley#since i did not have time/energy to do that today

There are not enough ice packs and ibuprofen in the world to justify how much gluten I’ve eaten these past few weeks.
I always forget about that mild intolerance until I feel like I’m 80 years old. My wrists, my knees, my ankles, my back 😭 end me now.
But I still want my muffin my step mom got me for breakfast tomorrow 🥲 it’s blueberry, I think I might just have to go for it.
#I’m suffering#but not enough to not eat my goddamn muffin#I’m sleeping with an ice pack on my knee and ankle and a heating pad on my hip#yet nothing could deter me#the funny thing is#I could feel this coming on a few days ago#but did that stop me from eating mac and cheese yesterday#no#it didn’t

there’s so much i wanna do this week/month/etc but i’m just too sick, i have no energy, i can’t sleep, i’m constantly nauseous and headachey and on the verge of a migraine, i’m stressed and irritable and impatient and panicky…….how tf did i survive nearly 5 years of high school untreated if i can’t even manage this when i don’t have any major obligations rn
#at least i finally got my meds so hopefully i feel a little better soon#although i’m now on 20 pills per day which is Just Great#whenever i’m in remission it’s nice to just. forget sometimes that this can happen at any time#kinda wish i had the typical kinda chronic illness that people talk about with ‘flares’#or at least triggers that i can plan around#the other times have all had an easily identifiable stressor tho tbf. idk what caused this one#the first time was whooping cough and the next few were all very major life stressors like my cat dying right after i started uni#and i think also towards the end of my honours thesis?#but this…….there’s no major stress right now. nothing wildly beyond normal#i’m a little concerned about my joints tho. they’ve been so much worse than normal the last few months#so i’m kinda worried i’m developing rheumatoid arthritis (also an autoimmune disease and it runs in the family specifically)#so if that’s happening then it could set my thyroid off? probably should get to the doctor at some point#obv i’m seeing my endo for thyroid stuff. but i should see my gp and get her to run all the autoimmune blood tests again#i’ve done that before but it’s been a few years and my ankles and knees are so painful i can’t even walk properly a lot of the time#BUT I JUST WANNA DO THINGS I ENJOY AND I CANT AND I WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT#‘oh you’re so lucky you don’t have as many obligations because you’re chronically ill’ ha ha ha please swap lives with me immediately#personal#but seriously. i wasn’t diagnosed until i was nearly 17 and we can trace it back to whooping cough when i was 12#so it was the last half of year 6 and then all of years 7-10 and the start of year 11 of just being. uh. ‘very lazy and complaining a lot’#and TEACHERS joking about me and my sister (who was dealing with an arguably more severe undiagnosed disease) missing so many classes#wow so funny pdhpe teacher who’s supposed to be teaching is about health#and the thing with being a mentally ill teenager is that hyperthyroidism can just look like a very severe anxiety disorder#so i didn’t go to the dr until i was too sick to go to school at all. and luckily had a good dr who did a blood test#i’m just rambling now because i can’t sleep and i don’t wanna lie here doing nothing#might go play pvz or something. that’s been keeping me entertained

um not to brag but I just walked a full half mile to a bus stop in under 15 minutes without limping and fairly symmetrical gait 💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️💁🏻♀️💥💥💥
#BONUS CATHARSIS the bus stop is in front of the shitty shitty hospital and shitty shitty PT place where I started#the last time I was here I could barely shuffle along with crutches#so like. feeling pretty fucking great actually#I think half a mile without stopping might be my limit right now and I can tell my ankles are fatigued and a little crispy#but this is I think the furthest I have walked in six months#if you have not been following me for six months. lmao. I am six months into a major double ankle injury from hell#I was ubering this fucking half mile twice a week for a month!!!!! AND NOW I CAN WALK IT

😭 once again i come out of therapy feeling 20 (psychological) pounds lighter
#and!! i got to show her my new ankle braces!! bc i wore them there!! and she was so excited to see them!!#theyre a lil lumpy to walk on which is unfortunate but not too surprising#its not a dealbreaker tho#i think i could mitigate the lumpiness#just need better insoles lol#my ankles feel _fantastic_ tho#i realized partway thru my session that i was doing the usual muscle-tensing-to-keep-my-ankles-from-hyperextending thing#but i didnt need to! the braces can do that for me!#incredible#and!! the sun came out RIGHT as i was leaving!!#cmon universe let the rest of today be good#i need a win

I somehow forgot how fun Spider Bites is to draw ♥ (Patreon)
#Doodles#Just Desserts#Villainsona#Spider Bites#She is so fun to draw!! She is so cute!! I love her!!#How did I get her design So Right immediately uhghhgh save some for later past me lol - like for the TVAU! Come on! Lol#Honestly tho I just jkdflsafd I know she's designed exactly to my own tastes by design but her design balance! I love her!#Okay enough gushing for now lol (Never! Her stripes and glasses and four eyes and arms <3 <3)#There are actually Some things that I feel could use improvement lol - her legs being a standout#I wasn't very careful with her joints in some of my early doodles of her - I can't tell if she has two or three joints in her legs#Knee and ankle definitely but it almost looks like there's another joint in some of her early doodles! It's a bit hard to parse#She's very cute no matter what I think the extra joint Can look cool I'm just not sure what to do with it :0#I like her anatomy to be a bit unique but how bend what bend?? I've never tried making a skeletal deconstruction of her design haha#Might be fun :) Weird skull - elbows - legs hehe#I still haven't drawn what her second set of eyes would look like it's a mystery to me as well#Silly stretchy in the middle there lol - stretching is a sign of affection! Haha#And a couple of the Queens since they appeared in one of her previous sets but have Actually been designed now!#Queen Charlotte has had the most noticeable design whatevers - additions and changes lol#She wears her hair in a bun in the EPAU :) It's harder to change her wife's look what with her having short hair to start haha#They're both a bit less smiley tho ouò It's a little more serious ♪#Ending off and another design element that I'm not fully satisfied with around Spider Bites - her wings :P#I do like the idea of them being less stable than either individual Charm but completely disconnected from her body? Hmmm#Dunno dunno. Wanna give it a bit more thought and take another crack at it#She looks pleased tho hehe ♥ Very powerful! Very strong and capable! Self-confident! Love her ♪

the problem with nice pretty pain scales is that sometimes you are slowly coming to the realization that you don't properly know what "not pain" feels like in the first place
#like we're capable of recognizing pain when it's like. sudden. or if it gets Worse#we're not constantly aware of our pain. it's background noise that we're used to#but if we ask ourselves if we're in pain and try actually tuning into our body it always hurts#when we were recovering from top surgery as far as i remember we didn't use a whole lot of our prescription pain meds because yeah it hurt#but it wasn't that bad we could just tough it out#honestly i don't think we have much of a concept of mild pain? like mild to us is “hurts but it's not that bad” not “hurts a little bit”#and i mean acute pain is its own thing and it's easier to notice but if something just hurts#how am i supposed to quantify that?#i have a concept of “bad” that i can compare it to but#like#when i'm walking i feel my ankles getting hot more than i notice them hurting#even though i know now that the “normal sensation of walking” has been pain this whole time
