#if making lists is a treatment

[baejax-the-great]

Inspired by a bizarre argument I had on reddit,

I think the question comes down to whether the word "treatment" encompasses strategic behaviors for lessening negative outcomes that result from ADHD symptoms or if treatments are meant to alleviate the symptoms themselves.

Thinking about how tf did Nagito knew about Ryoko.

He never canonically meets her, and we never hear or see him and Matsuda meet (ik he has dementia and thats Matsudas specialty, but he has never made a refrence to his treatment, let alone that matsuda is his doctor, which is weird bc chihiro makes a refrence to him and hes refrenced on hajimes page of the artbook). Also he includes the a Madarai brother chilling with them.

But then i think about the dr0 refrences he makes in sdr2.

one of his loved gifts is ryoko's notebook. Damaged, of course, but hes the only one who loves it, nobody even likes it (Not even Mikan). But he also makes a comment during a FTE that hes been reading a novel where a highschool girl is caught up in a serial killer case, but turned out to be the killer in the end. Which sounds alot like Dr0.

Which makes me think, did he read Ryoko's Notebook when Junko died?

She does keep the notebook, stated on the last chapter of Dr0. So she would still have it, and Nagito did go to the school for her hand, so he could’ve easily gotten it. He could’ve then read it, knowing what had happened and learning about Ryoko and Yasuke. Also why he includes the Madarai brother when there would be no connection outside of dr0.

Top 5 drinks? ☕

i am about to confess. i am a terminal water-drinker SKFJHG i'm not super into sweet things and don't mind the taste of just plain water? so i don't often have any beverages at all, so this list is about to be the most hyper-specific list of beverages known to man 😂

hot water: i would argue this counts as a drink, because most people i know don't drink hot water, i'm just very chinese lol. it's nice! feels less shocking to the system than cold water. i do not like cold water.

taro bubble tea: truly the most bestest of bubble teas. it's purple! it has edible tadpoles! yum. idk unpopular opinion though, every time i get it from a place where they actually serve legitimate taro inside their taro bubble tea, i hate it. i want the artificial stuff that comes in powder form, that is probably like 90% sugar by weight

there's this corn juice that T&T sells that's really good. is also probably 90% sugar by weight. corn!

okay i have to admit that i do like the starbucks coffee cappuccino frappuccino whatever stuff that comes in the sealed glass bottles that you can get. again, definitely mostly sugar and milk by weight (i am not a hardcore coffee person. i'm not even a coffee person really), but they taste really good. i haven't had one in years and i'm not about to break that streak now! but i do remember really liking it.

another asian beverage, there's this pineapple beer stuff that is mostly non-alcoholic (the alcohol % is super low) that is really good. ALSO most DEFINITELY 90% sugar by weight, i swear it tastes kinda like caramel and nothing like pineapple. still good tho!

Lower Decks was my "Wow, sometimes Star Trek is Good!" moment, and now I'm watching TNG (from the beginning, so I know it gets better) and getting to experience the crucial oppositional emotion of, "Wow. Sometimes Star Trek. is Bad."

Testosterone gave me confidence, and that confidence allowed me to put my audacity to good use.

I’ve been joking with my friends that “I now have the audacity of an army of cis men”. Some other symptoms of testosterone include:

“Brave stupidity” such as knowing I will not be able to tolerate Carolina Reaper hot sauce and still eating it anyway (and somehow roping in another [cis] guy into doing it without making fun of his masculinity)

“Cut off all the sleeves of my t-shirts” to show off my nonexistent arm muscles

“H o r n y” That is amusing as it is annoying considering I am asexual and have no desire to fuck anyone regardless of how much I love them romantically

And last but not least: Actually having a semblance of energy to get up and be happy about my life (amazing what gender affirming care will do).

15 to 420 for Miranetra :3

here, baby, only a month late:

15. What is their "Get rich quick" scheme? Only Fans. It doesn't work.

16. Who is the maximalist and who is the minimalist? 🧜🏻‍♀️ Fisherwoman!Anetra is very sentimental, and keeps a few reminders of thoselong gone. Her grandfather's coat, her grandmother's knife, the fishing nets her father knit, the angel callers her mother made. Anything else in her small house is purely necessary. Mermaid!Mirage, on the other hand, becomes fascinated by human artifacts and starts several collections. She likes bottle caps of different colors and keeps a box of corks, purely because she likes the texture. Anetra brings her something every day from the market, bracelets and necklaces and beads that Mirage braids in her hair. One day, Mirage learns that plants canbe brought inside, and Anetra stops being able to see the walls of the house.

17. What is their ideal vacation like? Mirage gets very intrigued by the mountains. She wants to walk through clouds. Anetra has never been that far from home and it sounds fun, if complicated. She wonders how much money it would cost to buy the silence of a carriage driver who could take them all the way up the mountains and keep quiet about Mirage's tail.

18. Who would get seasick? Neither!

19. If they were stuck somewhere, who would suggest walking and who would be dialing up a ride? Switching to Fake Dating AU, where rides and phones exist: They stayed out clubbing and missed the last train. The next bus won't come for an hour. A cab's a bit expensive, and Anetra could easily walk home in his comfortable boots, but not with Mirage complaining about her high heels every two minutes until he offers to carry her on his back. Plus, it's cold, and he brought a jacket but Mirage did not, and he knows how that ends. So, cab it is.

420. Vape, joints, or edibles? Vapes are so deeply unsexy that I'm banning them from all my fics. Fake dating: They learn to smoke together (and to hide it from their parents). They completely cut it out once Anetra's parents kick him out of the house and Mirage's parents take him in (out of respect for the house, but also fear that it would make the Amuros kick him out too). He starts smoking again once he moves out, and she mostly smokes from his supply but brings him edibles as special treats sometimes.

I'm trying to articulate a thought: while a moral reading of a text is necessary and I'd say unavoidable, a judgement of a text cannot begin and end in its value as a didactic piece for teaching morality to the reader (or reinforcing their sense of moral selves).

This doesn't mean people should read books that make apology of things the person finds morally or psychologically repulsive, just because there's some artistic value in them anyways.

But I have seen people for whom reading (and engaging with media in general) becomes a moral race in which their enjoyment of literature must be thoroughly justified by the -often only superficially ascertained- moral value of the themes and lessons of the text, and for whom the things they read are a letter of presentation of the moral principles they spouse.

In other words, instead of the moral principles of the person delineating the framework through which they approach the text, it is a checklist of things the text must explicitly contain in order to be seen as having any worth at all.

Which is a rather sad and superficial way to engage with things.

WE are ALL equal writers. This hierarchy idolizing crap is what drives decent writers from fandoms. The shit that I’ve seen and experienced in this fandom is heartbreaking, especially when you consider that we are ALL in the same boat and SHOULD be SUPPORTING each other, like…
