Is it really miscommunication if there's no communication at all?

[gideonisms]

The rei/kaoru chemistry is insane. Clearly more into each other than rei/nanako are but unfortunately they are too pleasant to each other and might make each other better. whereas rei and nanako make each other worse so of course I desperately want them to kiss

Knowing my love of overanalyzing small aspects of a series' universe, I sometimes imagine what an in-universe medical research paper on space disease would look like, and having a sort of grounded in reality look on how it affects the body.

Considering the 1978 Harlock anime's flashback episodes don't refer to space disease by name but rather described by Tochiro as his "anemia acting up", it's safe to assume that space disease is a blood disorder, if not a cardiac disorder or both, but very likely affecting blood cell count or even affecting the hemoglobin on top of that. While it's incurable in the SSX timeline, and perhaps the disease is unknown in the 1978 timeline and assumed to be a different disorder (or very well COULD be an irl disorder causing anemia in that timeline), medications DO exist that slow down its progression while treating flare ups, much like treatments of some irl diseases and disorders, like beta blockers that treat heart problems or medications designed to slow the progression of certain cancers. (though the medication we do see Tochiro use in SSX seems to be more for treating flare-ups, same goes with the med Kei Yuki's dad is seen taking for his heart issues).

Basically, the only option is to treat the symptoms and hope the disease takes one's life later rather than sooner, and perhaps slow the progression as long as one can. And for all we know, that could also be what Kei Yuki's dad was suffering from in his only appearance in SSX, further emphasizing its affects on the heart as well as the blood.

It's clear the disease has been known about for quite some time. Perhaps it was discovered in the 29th century if not a couple centuries after humanity started settling in other planets. Surely that wormhole in SSX ain't the ONLY place people have contracted space disease from.

Starting to think I should watch mission impossible

While I am on my little "fic hiatus" (aka not posting/checking ao3 for a while so I hopefully stop obsessing over it as much) I finally started outlining my magnum opus that I didn't wanna work on at all yet because it was gonna be so long and time consuming I wanted to finish other things first despite knowing I would have fun working on it.

Anyways, I finally started outlining it and this is only the outline for the first five chapters holy fucking hell this fic is gonna be SO long

[pennyserenade]

me trying to explain why i have to love david duchovny bc i love fox mulder so much and to love fox mulder means to be, at least on some level, in love with david duchovny

Published my ryankeith fic (as a treat for doing responsible adult things so that I could reply to comments I had gotten) without the usual polish because I was like no...I'll become powerful and post anything. It's some funny anime guys, so how serious is it, especially when it's purposefully funny.

Ryan asks what gender insulin is because he (canonically) dropped out of high school and (to me) extra flunked biology in his life and probably knows more about iguanas than humans and learns other things from nature docs only and (to me) he lacks common sense about things and (to me) he only knows what hormones are because he's ofc doing all bulking and cutting at the gym where he (canonically) stays for 4hours every day and drinks 3 raw eggs for breakfast

^ this happens and I'm so ashamed of my lack of polish bc I wrote the missing scenes bridging my favourite scenes together yesterday and didn't even deliberate then for a month and I left in scenes I would've deleted for narrative cohesion bc its For Fun and Light-hearted (and no.....the insulin gender isn't one of them.its essential.) And not that serious

But it is that serious. Its 10am after I stayed up till 5am almost writing some purposefully cringefail fanfic and the lack of DELIBERATION and the MESSY narrative and the lack of WEIRD PURPLE PROSE where I would've usually put it from me holding myself back bc I wanted to finish it and post and show people my thoughts even if it's not UP TO QUALITY STANDARDS because I should be trying to get rid of my perfectionism and my life would be easier...

I'm so ashamed and anxious that I have STOMACH CRAMPS. I feel NAUSEOUS. My world is SPINNING!!!

R3ddit ask me anything thread: guy who is sooooo normal and wrote about some ugly blonde asking what gender insulin is and is this fucked up about the Integrity of the Narrative. Of the fic that contains that

[musical-chick-13]

Genuinely I would love to recommend this fic I keep mentioning that I've not-an-exaggeration outright sobbed over roughly 5 or 6 times in the past week, but I cry over it for such a weird reason, and I would rather watch the worst musical (Heathers) and the worst opera (Madama Butterfly) back-to-back on a non-stop loop for two years straight than ever explain said reason.
