i saw that u have ur own hc for curly and jimmy's backstory; do you have one for anya as well?

I do!!! It's actually a lot less depressing than you think!

I imagine that Anya grew up in an average happy family, well average for whatever lower middle class family is in a world we can assume exist in a place where late stage capitalism won. I'll try to keep this in line with how I describe Curly and Jimmy's backstories but she had a family that tried to uplift her when it matter. They paid attention to what she cared about and made sure they knew she cared. I believe they couldn't support her in school due to her path and the modern expenses but they encouraged her and her every choice. She didn't have parties but she got gifts to help her express and explore herself.

Life was something I think Anya handled well. She was not the top student but she was a good student. She managed her job and school as well as she could and took the PE job so she could go back. She had nothing saved up but she planned in accordance, hence her concern about the baby. She had a good circle of people, maybe not someone who ever got her, but people that heard her out and understood enough to where she always got herself. She had partners and thought about futures but always thought about hers specifically first, not selfishly, but truly asking if they were facing the same directions.

She was always in her own head, not in a bad way though. She was always thinking about what she could do. I think she just liked knowing she could. I think she became a nurse because she wanted to give people choice in the same way she understood it. Doctors just fix a problem but nurses walk you through it, I think Anya

I genuinely believe that because she lived thinking of all the choices she had and all the ways she could overcome things, the fact that she was trapped on board with so little escape and choices, while not being heard or understood really just put the pin in her final acts of agency.

Fargo is a fantastic show and there’s been a lot of moments that have left me stunned, astonished, thrilled, chilled, absolutely blown-away, but bitch…………...I’m telling you…………..in 5 seasons, nothing has ever gotten me to a state of white-knuckled, gripping the chair, shock and awe…………………like that cover of Toxic……………

No but seriously it IS so sad and such a futile action to try talking to people online these days bc you can try to make the point ”my whole outlook on life is changing, and re-prioritizing what and who you support and forging new friendships and getting to talk to likeminded people @ protests or via endeavours online is a good thing actually. it’s a good thing to try, it benefits everyone - if your mental health is improving somewhat it helps you to keep doing things and your community and also yourself long term” and they’ll be like ”oh so you want (idol/celebrity) TO DIE IS THAT WHAT youre saying, racist!!!!??” like, respectfully, bitch are you stupid??? try not to deflect from the topic. please practice reading comprehension, and then keep going with compassion and growing personal morals because you really need all three…

So, I’ve decided on a system for classifying ghosts!

Elemental type ghosts are ghosts that possess an element. Their bodies are made entirely of the element they possess. Examples include Lava Bubbles, Magmaarghs, and Freezies:

They can possess any element, though fire appears to be the most common.

Illusion type ghosts are ghosts that don’t possess a vessel, simply appearing as they already are. Examples include Boos and Bonneters, as well as the many ghosts that appear in Luigi’s Mansion:

The final class, the physical type, is ghosts that possess a physical body. While anything could be a potential vessel (for example, the piano from Super Mario 64), this class is mostly made of recently deceased ghosts who possess their old bodies. Examples include the many skeletal creatures like Dry Bones and Fish Bones:

All three classes are made up of both ghosts that were once living beings and ghosts that are “born” as ghosts.

With that in mind, I wanna talk about the Tostarenans and Chinchos.

Chinchos appear to be undead Tostarenans despite Tostarenans themselves already being undead. So I’m thinking the Chinchos are the illusion form of the Tostarenans, meaning them without a body to possess. And they get aggressive when they don’t have their body. Not all ghosts are like this, in fact the Tostarenans might be the only ones like this. I’m sure I’ll figure out a lore reason for why they become hostile when they lose their bodies…

can we talk about the fact that being a fan of a netflix original feels like a job these days. i just came across a video analyzing the lockwood & co hours watched numbers, and it basically said you should just stream the episodes in the background 24/7 if you want a second season. i’m paying for a netflix account and i watched the show the month it came out, i should not have to take 23 extra steps every time i like something and want it to continue. fuck netflix!!

Ever wonder what life would be like if you were born the opposite sex? I think mine would be so different.

It wouldn't be on purpose, my parents didn't try to raise me any different, but that didn't stop their ingrained bais from having and impact. Let alone the bias of society.

My pre-K years would likely be pretty similar. In daycare, my best friends were the opposite sex. We sometimes got in trouble for rough housing indoors. None of us treated each other any different based on sex.

But then there was the at school friend, and the "friend" that was forced upon me because our moms were besties. I was a pushover in both cases. My only memories of those "friends" was them telling me what to do, manipulating me into doing what they wanted, and making fun of me if I wanted something different.

Would things be different if I was born the opposite sex? I think I would've made a different school friend. And I definitely think the kid of my moms friend would've treated me different. Maybe not better, but they probably wouldn't have been able to push me around as much.

Then, I moved away. Fresh start in a different city. My best friend is from the gendered scouts program (boy/girl scouts). We only met because we were both in the same scout troop. That friend shaped my life in so many ways, and probably more I can't even imagine.

If I was the opposite sex, I would've been in a different scout troop. Doing different activities. Probably make a different bff. Maybe would've stayed a scout longer because the troop leader wasn't complete garbage.

Then, there's the relationships with family. Two of my best friends are the cousins that lived close by, were close to my age, and then same sex as me. Would we have been as close if I was the odd one out? I really hope so, but I'm not sure. Our bullying of eachother probably would've had to be toned down a bit, lol.

The adults in my life would've had entirely different standards for me. I come from a farm family. Sure, my mom broke down the normal "girls stay inside and boys do farming", but that was still in the back of everyone's minds. Girls were treated as more fragile, boys were expected to be put to work. Grandma taught girls her recipies, Grandpa taught boys power tools and welding.

Then, there was my parent's divorce. I decided to go live with the parent that was the same assigned sex as me because I felt they would be better able to help with the changes my body was going through (ah, puberty). If I was the opposite sex, would I have gone with the other parent? That would've shaped my relationships with them drastically. Not to mention their influence on me. I chose my current major in part because of the parent I stayed with.

So, in conclusion, I know if I was born the opposite sex I would have lived a very different life. Probably ended up in a different place than I am now.

Maybe I'm overestimating this. Maybe things would've ended up the same. But sometimes I just can't help but wonder... would that other me be happier? Would they feel better about their life? Or would they too be wondering how things would've been if only they were born different.

Why must I be productive. Can I not just enjoy life without worrying about the future. I did my laundry today is that not enough.
