consulted a bunch of jp players' dictionaries and. yeah a lot of the words just dont have an english equivalent
#ouppy yaps#really hard to differentiate いる/ある and これ/あれ/それ and ここ/あそこ/そこ into english in a way that would make sense#with how you play the game#also one of the words is よかった which like. i also dont really know how to translate to english other than literally “that was good” but that#SOUNDS SO AWKWARD#i guess “what a relief” could work but the monsters in homicipher dont speak full sentences#translation is hard man#japanese has a lot of real specific words and english is like yeah we got 1 that covers it!#scratching head#im normal btw

I had the opposite of your ER inducing gas pain. For years I had nights with excruciating abdominal pain that when I farted would get better. Until it wouldn't and I went to the ER after a full night waddling around and desperately trying to fart the pain away. Turns out I had gallstones and was just suffering through them for years. Oopsies.
Oh noooo I'm glad you figured out the problem though!! I'm waiting for the day my gall bladder fails me, I know I am unkind to it.
#farting can be such a weird false sense of relief#it often feels like my bulging disc pain diminishes when i fart#just that little bit of extra pressure i guess

Started AFK Arena, got Eugene as my first Legendary, liked his design but was worried I might not like his story bc I haven't yet read many of them and it didn't seem like a story/event heavy game, finally gave in 3 days later Anyhow order of operations: -love it, joke around why there isn't a series about it -no there actually is a comic and other ones too -read them all -actually go back to read Gavus and the kids stories as well -learn you basically JUST missed all them being introduced like 4 months ago -hide your pain by consuming everything NOW -it's 7 am i haven't slept since yesterday where am i
#txts#afk arena#halp#yes i am currently scrolling through tumblr#i LITERALLY at one point during the labyrinth went#'huh Eugene and that angel looking dude seem to work nicely together-wonder why' BEFORE I LEARNED#truly amazing#so far everything was just 'huh if x is the case' AND IT IS#10/10 need more#i wanna both hug them. shake them by their shoulders. chew on them and also just let them live their best lives however they wish#same with the kids but i am way less feral about them-i am counting them in as my babies as well#with every new piece of info i got worried that things might turn out bad or tragic#the relief when i read through all oH GOD#precious little weapons of mass destruction#i-will probably take a nap now#and try for more coherent thoughts another time#i also got like 5 packages arriving anytime between 10am and 10pm which is just....totally great#other fun fact: literally looked at Eugene and Lucilla design wise and put them down mentally as my favs#which considering the everything: yeAH I GUESS IT MAKES SENSE HUH#good genes

i can only hope in my lowest moments that i would be someone’s blorbo and they would consume my suffering with glee
#while wanting me carnally#relatable#i guess#if imagining my life as a story someone is reading gives me hope then so be it#hopefully my arcs are satisfying#and that the show doesn’t get cut off early#a friend of mine is convinced that we are in a sitcom#and i am the commentary on society character#she’s the comedic relief hijinks character#and our other friend is the main character#his life is very interesting so it makes sense

Wait shit, is this what burn out is 😀
#or I’m just like#really dumb all the time#sorry but I’m thinking bout how talking doesn’t make any sense rn#everytime I talk or attempt to socialize I feel stupid#like everything I say is met with second guessing#and I contribute basically nothing word wise#woagh#I don’t even get to be comic relief I’m just a stagnate npc#I send pictures tho I can do that ☝️

the issue begins when you begin to see an entire group of people as subhuman--even if they're on the side of objective wrong. if you see all bad people as subhuman, you're less likely to notice your own self turning into someone as cruel as them--because those people aren't human right? they're a bunch of freaks and monsters and offsprings of the devil. they all want us dead. they rejoice in our suffering. and nothing i can say or do is going to make me like that, because i am human.
before you know it, you're becoming them. it starts with wanting them dead then it goes onto wanting anyone who's associated with them dead and ultimately you become so obsessed with the act of hurting the cruel mass murderers that you completely forget you started this with the intention of protecting people who are vulnerable to being cruelly mass murdered.
and that's how you go from feeling repulsed at seeing your best friend come to the defence of her naive overprivileged prep team to creating a bomb that it kills off her sister, a girl you loved like a sister yourself, a girl you fed and protected.
the issue isn't wanting a bunch of genocidal people dead, it's when you become so obsessed with wanting them dead you forget that there are people in the crossfires, people with lives at stake, people who are going to become collateral damage in your thirst for revenge.
it's not unfair to want revenge. but it's not right to hurt people who are as much victims of the actions of horrible people as you are.
#i'm mostly writing this out because i remember i struggled a lot with gale's characterisation in this book the first time#like i couldn't fundamentally disagree with his thirst for revenge and justice but also i just felt so wrong seeing him do all that#and i guess this sums up my thoughts#the phrase collateral damage is a topic of discussion during the bombing of district 2 right? hehe i remember#anyways. it was a relief to write this it finally makes sense to me in my head haha#thg

Do your ocs know each other and if so how do they feel about that.
they do! my book is gonna be split into two parts, and kurt (the protagonist) will meet billy at the beginning of the second part. at the time, kurt's looking for someone to kill but instead clocks billy as "like him" (this can be interpreted as either "also trans" or "also a serial killer", both are correct).
that said, their relationship is FRAUGHT. it's a friendship/enemy/romance mix, largely due to the fact that neither is very good at being a person. kurt's too isolated from other people to even understand them, and billy's not good enough at reading other people to match their tone. so most of their interactions are like
kurt: please be serious for once in your life. please learn opsec. please do not get us arrested or killed. billy: uhmmm ok but what if I were silly about it tho :3 this is so fun lol kurt: what the fuck are you talking about. this is not fun. I am literally going to kill you if you keep acting this way and I'm not kidding!
+ added is the fact that billy hasn't actually killed anyone before meeting kurt (and may have even lied to kurt about this fact until after their first kill as a couple 🤫) making billy a very stressful amateur student for kurt to mentor.
which might make u ask why kurt's even mentoring billy in the first place instead of kicking it out/killing it, but (besides the romantic/platonic feelings he feels for it despite everything) that's because like... how often do you meet another trans serial killer? also kurt's a very lonely person anyway. tldr: kurt doesn't feel like he has a lot of options here when it comes to making friends.
that's all^ focusing mostly on kurt's emotions tho. billy mostly just loves kurt! there's some conflicting opinions there too, especially when kurt's an asshole to it. but because billy's just a bit too oblivious to pick up on the serious nature of a lot of this, it struggles to take even the personal drama as seriously as it should. instead, it'll mostly just get very frustrated over kurt being an asshole/distant/angry all the time ""for no reason"".
in short, to billy murder is a game, to kurt murder is a necessary and dangerous lifestyle, and they both love/hate each other over this difference.
#magezero#I hope that makes sense. I feel very rambley about it LOL but their dynamic is very good to me and I want to do it justice#rather than simplifying them to their ''straightman vs comedic relief'' tropes - which are to an extent ACCURATE but#it's more complicated than that too <3#I guess another way of putting it:#in this book murder in the context of kurt/billy is a metaphor for transness.#so when it comes to murder kurt sees it as a means to relieve dysphoria in a sense; while billy is a ''trender'' and does it for fun#both of their experiences are real but their worldviews surrounding those experiences are very different#kurtfairy tag

THEYRE FINALLY GIVING ME REAL PAINKILLERS.... GOD BLESS
#doc says its almost definitely fibro which is such a . relief i guess.#i was KINDA hoping itd be autoimmune bc my other doc says i cant make a case for disability w fibro#rhuem doc tho said abt the same but also she said she would refer me to a social worker#just to see if theres Anything that can be done for me#that said if these meds genuinely clear my pain. it will open a lot of doors for me in the sense of work ^^#i was put on cymbalta before and it. Helped. but i was so dizzy literally all of the time#i was constantly falling over....#shes putting me on neurontin and buspar btw#i think those are what mom is on also#so like. genetically speaking theyre prob a good match for me#anyway im so glad to officially consider myself part of the fibro community ive suspected for a while#and ultimately i was still onviously chronically ill and disabled so i was already part of those communities#but it does feel good to be able to confidently say. yep im fibro gang#also doc was complaining abt lack of treatment options for pain esp nerve pain#and she also mentioned that theres a new treatment currently being studied that she thinks will be good#but hasnt had enough studies done for it to be a prescription yet.... 👀

tfw you say you can't face your friend if you let anyone else die...buuut then you let everyone else die and come face to face with that friend again, even though you don't realize it at the time because she's hidden in someone else's heart
#khdr#kingdom hearts dark road#kh vidar#kh hoder#making kh photosets#rambling about dim path#ch tag: vid#ch tag: hod#Can you IMAGINE if at the last second he recognized Hoder's heart inside Xeha's#The shame and confusion and relief and despair of it#Would have been neat foreshadowing I think and extra tragic#I guess it's up for debate if the 'friend' he speaks of is Hoder but like. Does anyone else make sense there.#khdr spoilers

i seriously think maybe covid DID do something to my brain, but it was ... somehow winding back the clock to the time when i cared about music??????
cut bc of personal rambling
like i haven't listened to the radio in YEARS
i used to be all up on everything popular music as much as i could in my teens (no internet) and then in my 20s i had subscriptions to spin and alternative press and i worked in a store where i could access rolling stone or billboard at will etc.
(this is after i went through a period of being desperately poor, so like the mid 90s was just radio i had no money)
but like in the last ten, fifteen years i had just gotten ... tired of everything i heard, couldn't be bothered to look for more music really. i still lived my favorites but i hadn't added more than maybe ten songs to my library (other than cdrama tracks lol) in as many years it seems like
and then for some reason last year i started picking up the occasional new song i liked again
maybe it's having a place to live where i can play music out loud? but i lived the the same place back when i enjoyed music and dancing around the apartment and then when i didn't ...
i really don't know, but this spring/summer i have downloaded and *listened to* more music in six months than in the last twenty years probably
stuff that i *could* have heard the first time around but only now am i interested - i just don't get it.
maybe the thing about covid messing with the brain and memory storage is right and for some reason it like, cleared the cache on my music storage in my brain and now there's more room?
like i am still incredibly picky and not all listening to like *everything* but i am still enjoying it a LOT
it's just weird for me personally to hear a song and go 'oh hey i LIKE that i need to hear it again' and i find i worry that my interest will just ... turn itself off again
so far though it is SO nice
#aging is fucking weird#i loved music and listened to it CONSTANTLY when i was younger#and then just got ... bored of it over time#i still don't like most of top 40 stuff but i guess i've gotten better at finding avenues to stiff i do like#or maybe it's that i'm willing to give a listen to more new things?#ititerally could be just having a brief time of accessing utube without ads to drive me away#but like i could've found a work around before if i had cared enough i just didn't#hey world if you're listening what i would really love to get back is that sense of magical drama and possibility#that goes hand in hand with music and that i lost sometime in my thirties#that sense like that you are in a movie and the music is the soundtrack and the night is liminal and free?#where just walking down the street is a story and an adventure?#i think of all the things i've lost (health braincells skin elasticity) i miss that the most#it wasn't depression bc i had depression for ages and music was one of the best forms of relief actually#i just got old and tired and stressed but i'm still old and exhausted and stressed so . . ?#anyway thank you kpop and groovy songs i can dance to my phone is crying

disordered eating talk in the tags
#disordered eating cw#so like i did a stupid and took my meds this morning without eating breakfast and about mid morning#i had too much water and got super nauseous and had to throw up#and i realized that i still have a weird THING around purging#i don't feel like throwing up is an experience that should engender a sense of comfort in a person but it does in me#like i didn't even have anything in my stomach it's not like i had binged or whatever#but just the purgative act in itself feels GOOD to me#like a relief#kind of brings to mind how in my most stressful/mental breakdown-y times or during panic attacks all that's ever clear in my mind#is a desire to throw up. to just get this horrible feeling i can't process out of me#and i think it kinda speaks to how much food and eating or not eating or *purging* was how i found control and a sense of stability#having ednos is irritating bc it basically means you did a little of everything and none of those individual things ever got really dramatic#so it wasn't exactly noticeable but it all adds up into a pattern of behavior around food that's just deeply dysfunctional#and getting people to take it seriously is really difficult bc so many of those behaviors are normalized#but all those little behaviors were how i took back control. i would spite the people around me who policed my body by binging#i would try to control how i felt about myself (and how other people saw me and treated me) by restricting#and when i felt out of control i would take it back and reground by purging#so even now if im stressed out (which i am lately) it feels comforting and grounding to purge#even if im not doing it on purpose#which is....fucked tbh. i guess on just a primal level it makes some sense bc that's how our bodies protect us from things we've ingested#that could potentially harm us. so of course there's some relief around it. but im not eating anything that will hurt me#it's all just shame and terror and feelings i can't express and wanting them OUT#thankfully it's not something ive ever done chronically bc the stigma against EDs in my house growing up was also high#and if i didn't throw up or totally starve myself it was just dieting right? i would only half starve myself#and i would only throw up here and there. as a treat. once or twice isn't an eting disorder surely?#i just really regret how much ''bad'' food i just ate and i want a do over. it's not disordered if it's just this one time#this is a special circumstance and I'm Different#goddddddddddddddd#what's wild too is i can look back on this stuff now and see it for what it was but to most people none of that behavior#would ping as a Real Disorder

i got an autims diagnosis*** after months of therapy and im so happy :3
#ok full disclosure#its yes and no on the official diagnoisis front#my therapist (an autism specialist for POC) brought my file to his supervisors and they all agreed that this was ASD and was pretty cut and#dry and i would benefit a lot form ASD based CBT and working on my coping skills (THEY ARE THE GOOD AUTISM SPECIALISTS WE LOVE MY THERAPIST#so that was huge for me to have it confirmed in no uncertain terms that this is what it is#im not an alien#im not a monster#im not evil#it was just autism the whole time#we then discussed a neuropsych evaluation and the pros and cons of a formal diagnosis and at this time decided against it for a variety o#of personal reasons#but#i feel like i can say im diagnosed with autism by a medical professional and have that validation#and just breathe that sigh of relief#like oh thank god there is an answer#its no longer a grey area or a question or a what if and there is no more second guessing myself#its#just#autism#i feel such a sense of relief that i think ive been holding onto since i was a very small child#and being able to talk about autism with my therapist and let that color my experiences and how i navigate the world is just so wonderful#wow

got to love how the bees and undead had such polarising normal polls while jun easily swept eden's poll with an 83~%
#speaking tag#anyway. since none of these characters are normal at all i've been voting on who i thinkhas kind of earned it#like with kohaku#i can confidently say that he is in the top 3 characters in terms of insane backstory. maybe even no.1#but he has genuinely been striving for a sense of normalcy in a way that the other members haven't#big part of his motivation is that he wants to be free !!!! he wants to live a '''''normal''''' life !!!!!!!#it's. not going so well but he's doing his best. i think.#honestly i do feel that a lot of the stuff that makes niki so ''weird'' is just his disability disabling him#and you really can't separate niki from his illness because that would honestly just be stupid#so i do get where people are coming from i guess ??? especially when backstory is taken into account#but he is way more than your local chill guy !!!!#happyele does usually treat him as comedic relief so i can't really blame people for not understanding how deeply concerning niki is#i am. getting off-topic.#anyway i voted for jun and kaoru for the same reasons why i voted for kohaku#they all have so many problems but they're ultimately striving for some level normalcy and i'm acknowledging that#tbh i do understand the people that voted rinne#you know kids that don't get much wiggle room in their childhood so they grow up and just Cause Problems ? yeah that's rinne to me#it's sad and he's weird but it's not an uncommon phenomenon#i just didn't vote for him because he's a little too strange to make the cut but i do think that's intentional#he's actively playing the part of a freak#and i love him#OH YEAH THIS GOES FOR AIRA TOO#all of alk are weird as hell but aira is ''chronically online'' weird which is pretty standard to ''teenage martyr'' kind of weird#maybe this post was just an excuse to ramble about my lukewarm takes in the tags#ooooh you want to discuss enst characters with me sooooo bad

taking an edible for me is “this is a bad idea. this is a bad idea. thisisabadideathisisabadideathisisabadidea. oh hey this isn’t so bad. this is nice. nice. nice. nice. aaaaaaaand I’m sleepy.”
#beforehand I look at them like I’m about to poison myself#’these are going to ruin my night and make me feel so anxious and sick’#but I still make myself take half of one bc I’m anxious now and I know deep down it’ll chill me out in an hour or so#drugs are bad mmkay#anyway I’m gonna chop a gummy in half and play Enter The Gungeon & listen to podcasts until it kicks in#I’m just so anxious all the time. breathing makes me anxious. thinking about falling asleep makes me anxious. being alone makes me anxious.#I have an appointment with a new psychiatrist tomorrow to talk about meds so fingers crossed#I KNOW I won’t get any immediate relief meds from them. well… I’m pretty sure I know I won’t#some drs and places just refuse to prescribe benzos 🤷🏻♂️#I get it I guess. sorta. I mean I have a long history of anxiety and ER trips for it and whatnot but nah.#naaaaah. someone might abuse a Xanax so I gotta get prescribed super Benadryl and an SSRI that I have to HOPE helps me in a couple of weeks#we’ll see what they say tomorrow. no sense in being negative before the appointments even started#hey… I like you and I appreciate you#goodbye forever#you can ignore this#text
