Last RB for context of posting this

I found more related material now I'm home and going through my records for a new assessment (since I'm super quirky and can't remember my childhood, or personal things like the way I act and feel)

Maybe I'll redo this someday

it’s just a 24/7 game of ‘can i pretend to be sane enough that i’m not totally and completely shut off from society’ and unfortunately it seems that more often than not the answer is no i cannot

I've written like 7000 words for a short-story in six days. What the fuck is wrong with me.

ibara; origin,

[yes, I'm entirely overhauling her backstory. don't look at me]

Ibara Shiozaki was born to Maria and Kanabo Shiozaki on September 8th, 2198. Her father was a retired hero, and her mother was a doctor who specialized in mitigating negative quirk impacts on the body of their users. This was born from her own quirk-- Manchineel, which, similar to Ibara's, replaced her hair with foliage-- but this foliage excreted a painful sap she had no natural defense to and required constant medical care and dosages of an herbicide that rendered the plant underdeveloped.

At the point in the pregnancy when they realized Ibara was going to share a similar mutation, Maria made the decision to stop taking the medication in order to avoid it spreading to the developing fetus. Ibara was born with a healthy seed coat, but Maria would die about six months later due to health complications from both her quirk and the lingering impact of a difficult pregnancy and birth.

Kanabo came out of retirement to support his new child. However, the reason for his early retirement (age 30) had been damage to his heart and lungs, which would lead to a more severe cardiac failure when Ibara was around five years old, rendering him unable to work and, as time would reveal, unable to take care of a young child, due to long-lasting neurological and functional issues. He would be placed in long-term hospital care, and Ibara would be placed with another relative-- her mother's sister, Mei Fujita, a quirk specialist doctor similar to her sister, although with a focus on clinical practice. They would live together for about three years before Mei realized she was in no position to take care of a child, emotionally or career-wise, often resulting in Ibara being left alone for long periods of time, a schedule too inconsistent to keep up with school, and undue stress on both of them.

At age 8, Ibara would be placed in a religious child care institution, in line with the wishes of her father, who wanted her to grow up with the faith. Her aunt, from then on, would remain as a frequent visitor (as frequent as she could be, anyways) and as a personal physician for Ibara, due to the nature of her quirk and worry that it may develop into something similar to Manchineel. Her father writes often, but the two rarely get to visit, due to the strict rules around leaving institution grounds for the both of them. That being said, Ibara loves them both very much.

The institution itself housed around 40 children at any given time, of varying ages, maintained by a convent of nuns and other clergy, and with an associated school. Staffing was stretched thin most of the time, and physical discipline was actively utilized in response to what was seen as poor behavior. Ibara threw herself into the faith intensely, which only made her the target of her peers.

Ibara loves her father and aunt very much. She knows, too, that they love her, and that she is very lucky to still have contact with them. But for most of her life, she has wondered if things would be different if she were a less difficult child, and if one day, she would be able to reunite with them if she just behaved well enough. Even her work to get into U.A. and become a hero is, in part, motivated by wanting to make them proud, and to prove that she is, in fact, a good person, to both them and herself.

In 2016, years before long COVID was a thing, the US National Institutes of Health, the largest single public funder of medical research in the world, launched a study into a long-neglected and puzzling condition: chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis, or ME/CFS. Eight years later, the results of that study are finally out. In one of the most thorough investigations to date, researchers took a deep dive into a small group of 17 people who developed ME/CFS after an infection and found distinct biological differences compared to 21 healthy controls. "Overall, what we show is that ME/CFS is unambiguously biological, with multiple organ systems affected," neurologist Avindra Nath, lead researcher of the study and clinical director of NIH's National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS), said in an interview with JAMA. For decades, many doctors had dismissed ME/CFS as a psychosomatic condition that was 'all in patients' heads'. Now there is little doubt: a host of biological changes underpin ME/CFS.

I totally agree with what you’re saying, and I think that people also need to remember that this film ultimately had to be approved by Mattel, a company that hasn’t done much to make outspoken statements about accepting queerness, especially not with their Barbie content, to my knowledge.

Also I think that casting a lesbian as Weird Barbie was a very intentional choice. And I think that she and Allan were made to be interpreted in a few different ways, whether they’re not straight or not cishet.

I get what people are saying when they say they wish the Barbie movie had more queer representation, especially since there wasn’t really any room for gender diversity. However, I also feel like it’s really significant to have a character who’s just casually not interested in relationships (even when other characters are) and even if that’s not labeled as aroace, the aroace community has been really excited about that so to have a character we claim as our own without even having to headcanon things or really stretch it to make it feel like the character is a-spec is awesome but then to have people turn around and say the film wasn’t very queer at all and it just had queer actors but no truly queer characters makes me kind of sad. Like no it didn’t feel like an incredibly queer film and no there weren’t queer labels but a character who has an incredibly a-spec experience in comparison to very clearly allo characters but isn’t seen as weird and doesn’t feel pressure to change is so incredibly huge as someone aroace and I think it kind of sucks to completely overlook that aspect of the film and instead just say there wasn’t any apparent queerness.
