tumblr is just gonna become my thought dump now that i can't use quotev to update everyone abt my interests and how i'm doing: and can i just say, i'm not doing well. i'm gonna throw a FIT actually. my doctor's appointment went pretty poorly, and i'm not really on the road to recovery at all, i'm still at the beginning basically.
crohns fucking sucks and i'm angry about it. it actively effects my daily life and i'm just sick and tired constantly. i want to feel better for once. i swear to fucking god, crohns is making my MDD worse. and to top it off, on these antibiotics i'm taking for my current crohns related inflammation problem, i can't take my antidepressants. so like, i can't even begin to manage my depression alongside managing my physical symptoms. and of course, the steroids they have me on to manage the physical symptoms? yeah that causes insomnia. which also worsens the depression. because i sit up all night thinking about any and everything when i should be sleeping. which in turn worsens my already existing daily fatigue that just comes with the territory of being disabled.
it is pure misery right now boys and there is no sun on the horizon. my doctor basically said there's nothing she can do to help me at the current moment because my insurance won't cover the tests i need, and i can't afford that shit out of pocket either, so it's just a waiting game. waiting until i get so bad i have to go back to the ER and they HAVE to take care of me out of necessity OR waiting for this new insurance to accept me and help me cover the tests. whichever comes first. sigh.
#im being a downer i know#happy ram will be back i promise#just let me be in my feels for a while ok?#i am just distraught#it feels like everytime something improves for me#it immediately takes five steps back#i moved and am happy!#oop suddenly crohns decides to murk me and put me in the hospital for a week :(#its so fucking stupid#i cant win man#“youre in remission!”#what a joke#my doctor kept praising me for being in remission#even though i told him multiple times it didnt feel like i was#bc i was still experiencing symptoms#especially fatigue and bowel symptoms#not to mention the severe joint pain#and yet he kept saying “no no youre getting better!” just bc there was no visible inflammation#make it make sense#i mean theres visible inflammation NOW#thats why i was in the hospital obviously#but they shouldve known my current meds werent fixing it#its just fucking lame idk#and this low fiber diet they have me following is fucking lame too#i know I KNOW i know i need it#im following it to a fucking T#but that doesnt make it easy or simple#i basically cant eat anything healthy or good for me#UGHHHH

#bioware critical#datv critical#vows and vengeance#vows and vengeance spoilers#MAYBE ILL END UP DELETING THIS POST IF THE SKELETON ACTUALLY TALKS LOL.#i hate to be a downer and also disclaimer like in the grand scheme of things this is nothing. its fine. its objectively a whatever situatio#but it just rubs me the wrong way. it honestly feels kind of insulting#to have scrapped the keep and reduced our imported choices down so egregiously - thereby making the return of certain older charas/actors#completely impossible#while at the same time hiring an extremely famous/prolific/borderline a-lister VA#to make GRUNTING and SNARLING noises and not even talk#I DONT KNOW. ITS JUST. IT WAS CERTAINLY A CHOICE YKNOW.#im so excited for datv and i think its going to be a great game. but i think some healthy hater-ism in moderation is good for the soul lmao#anyway. hater moment over im back to being a lover. emmrich stans rejoice <3 what a sweetie#AND VARRIC + NEVE DOUBLE NEXT EP LETS GO LOL

i love madoka magica however i dont think we as a fandom talk enough about how tragic madoka herself is. probably because the narrative itself steers you away from thinking about her personally. shes not a character shes a desire that homura has, shes a force of good, shes homura's foil. but those are all madoka's narrative roles but madoka herself as a person is not really looked at because we are viewing this world from an unreliable narrator(homura) who only sees madoka as those things. The best thing homura could have done for madoka was give up on her, to let her go. because every time we go back in time the image of madoka is distorted, she loses more of herself every regression of homura's as she tries harder and harder to save her. We don't even know what madoka originally wished for to become a magical girl in the original timeline. and she actually acts quite differently than the madoka we meet. shes a lot more honest and caring and bold. by the time homura's has reached the actual anime madoka has been reduced by the sands of time to a figment of herself. she has no wants or desires of her own beyond wanting to do good and help her friends and when all her humanity is stripped away is when she finally acends to godhood because thats all thats left of her. an ideal and a faith in her. madoka kaname died a long time ago and all that is left is her ghost.
#of course homura doesnt care anymore because she cant go back she can only go forward cuz if she gives up she killed madoka for nothing#she could have left her pass away with dignity but now shes a ghost stuck in a web of time and the only thing she can do is keep trying#to save her#i feel like inately homura knows this but she doesnt want to admit to herself thats shes the real one who killed madoka kaname#this is a very charitable reading of homura#homura died too but its a clear moment because homura is our narrator#homura akemi will never come back madoka kaname will never come back#but life goes on anyway for homura#heres my truth#i loved rebellion but im actually a bigger fan of the original anime's ending so im glad it seems like red ribbon homu is coming back#i thought that ending was a lot more hopeful and beautiful and rebellion was kind of a downer but i always accepted they were parallel#and seems im right based on posters#for walpurgis#madoka uses one of my favorite literary devices which is the underuse of a character#i dont know whats it called but i love it when they dont outright develop a character usually to signal an upholding of the status quo#i already explained how madoka is not shown as a character but they do this in princess tutu too with mytho#mytho is a character from a book hes not real in the way that the others are and therefore cant actually change like the others can#hes always the focus of others and never the one thinking of others#i mean yeah he spends like the whole anime thinking about tutu but thats PART of his book its not him as a person#anyway ive been talking too much but i wanna bring up my favorite subtle use of this in takopi's original sin#the boy#idk his name rn lmao#hes straight up not present for the bulk of the manga and hes legit just absent from the ending scene despite being one point of a triangle#at first that weirded me out like??? he doesnt get closure???#but the reason was he didnt need it#the focus and moral is that those girls were 'weird' unable to be normal (because of trauma) and their closure was theyre at least together#but he doesnt need that because hes already normal hes the status quo a benchmark for the reader for the reader to judge the characters off#and the characters to judge eachother off of#anyway anyway sorry this has been so long#i had to get all of that out of me

So just found out my baby niece or nephew might be born on the same day my grandmother died 👍 that wouldn't be bad at all but I know a couple people in my family would rather mourn death than celebrate new life and wouldn't let him or her forget it
#to me itd feel like such a gift#the symbolism!!!!#i cant even get into explaining and rambling right now because i need to go soon but the symbolism!!!!!!#and i know my grandma would love to have something to be happy about on the day!#but the people man the people!#i can already hear it#'you know your great grandma died today'#'youll have to share your birthday with her death day for the rest of your life isnt that such a shame'#'sorry dear happy birthday i just have a lot of feelings about your great grandma today'#feelings are okay!#i have my own!!#but please theyre just a baby just a child dont be a downer#celebrate life dont mourn death in front of the birthday boy or girl#i dont know why im stressing about this already the kid isnt even close to being born yet#they may not even be born on the day#i just have feelings excuse me

As things get worse, i feel like i need to be clearer with my gratitude in case i dont get the chance to later but
Everyone who has ever donated to us, but especially to Plaid, Mark, and Halisa: thank you. Thank you for so much support and care. You three have been the most consistent and generous people over the years, and i cannot ever express the depths of my gratitude to you.
I can't repay you even tho I wish I couls, but know that you have kept us housed, clothed, and fed. We would have been made homeless a dozen times over without you.
I honestly dont know how much my long covid has effected my survival odds, but i dont ever ever ever want there to be a chance that any of you think i've taken your kindness and support for granted in any capacity, so im saying it now while i still can.
I wish i could find a way to thank you properly, but for now this is all i can offer. I love you, please take care of yourselves, and be safe.
#btw i realize how ominous i sound#i know it may seem dramatic but...theres a lot i dont talk about wrt my health anywhere#mostly because im already burden enough without being a constant downer

Serious post for once;
I've genuinely never cared about anything /this/ much before and I know it's kind of silly but please, if at all possible, spare a thought for my cat. He's gonna have to undergo brain surgery tomorrow and as he's already pretty old the chances of him making it out of it are not great to say the least.
I love that cat more than I've ever loved anything or anyone and I've seen how hard he's been fighting for months against all he's been going through. He doesn't want to leave and we don't want him to go, not like this. So please, root for him, even though I know it's silly to think that'll do anything.
#not tagging#I dont really wanna find this post if I ever go through my tags#he did not deserve all this shit#he's been the light of my life for these past 14 years (he's a rescue so we know he's older than that but not by how much)#genuinely the smartest being I've ever met#like. even now with half of his brain basically not working he's still going about everything like it's nothing#sure he has been a lot more vocal 'cause he sometimes can't tell where he is and gets scared#but other than that he's literally still doing everything perfectly#I joke that if it were one of our other three cats they'd not be doing this ''great'' but is it really a joke#silver has always been leagues smarter than them. I love them all but I've never hidden my bias#he was the first and without him the rest would not be where they are now#anyway I'll shut up now Im kinda rambling#sorry for the downer of a post but this has not been easy to deal with#(not for any fault of his. he's amazing. but this whole situation is just so shit)#and it's been kinda destroying me#I'm not holding my hopes up but please keep him in your thoughts#also if I disappear for a minute this is why. tho I don't think I will#tumblr's been one of the few enjoyable things during all of this

its time for yet another brain game of am i like fully neurotic or was this genuinely not a cool situation . prize is jack shite and yet im playing anyways👍
#j.txt#vent#just like. to preface. im not bringing any of this up im just going to stew in it for the night and then move on as per usual#alright disclaimer made now i can get to the point. So. tonight is my close irl friends bday right but she didnt tell me about any plans#so i naturally assumed she was gonna do her own thing and not really celebrate. Ive had work all day and while working get a text frm her#asking if we want to go to this restaurant i introduced our group to for dinner. so i respond saying oh im off at this time if yall want to#go even tho its late i can. Never get a response so i assume theyll bring it up when i get back. get home and no ones here not a word abt#whats going on. i do my usual unwinding get ready to chill etc which takes abt half an hour. she comes back with our other mutual friends#and theyve already gone to the restaurant which is fine i get it. but they get back and say oh now we're going to this themed music night at#a club we've all been to before as soon as (other friend) changes. and then just. dont offer for me to come along or anything and leave.#which like. whatever its happened a hundred times before im used to it but Still. does it not even occur that I might want to participate??#if i had Any notice that this was happening I could have been getting ready instead of slacking around waiting for someone to get home#its so. i try extrememly hard not to be a downer or just invite myself to things bc I Know this is how they all operate but it does still#sting that it feels like im not even thought of if i dont happen to be in the room when plans are being made lol.#and obv I am Not bringing this up rn and ruining what im sure was a really fun night for all of them#its just truly a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation yknow. but such are the whims of fate and i shall endure as always✌️

i struggle as a fn@f hater who cannot ignore how Sc0tt c@wth0n still profits off the franchise when so many of my friends have fn@f-tism oTL
#im trying so hard in all my power to not be the asshole about it when ppl get excited abt this franchise#but like every time im . -_- ..............#like ok lets all just forget how ppl profiting from projects via royalties#and/or just straight up Actually have worked on the damn thing before they left. lets pretend we dont know how that functions. okay.#ugh still i dont want to be such a downer bc my friends like the fucking thing#and the few times i ever brought up these things i got straight up ignored prob bc they didnt like that i was being a downer#at the very least i have solace a bunch of my friends actually pirated it but still man oTL#whatever man. i just straight up filtered out the whole franchise bc i cant stand seeing it on my dash without it aggravating me#which does not mesh well with my potential anger issues + inability to forcibly stop ppl i dont want to unfollow from enjoying things#so yeah. best solution here.#sorry for ranting just had to get this off my chest or I'll explode oTL#ranting
