#its insane because most of the Qs you asked is the one I most thought-write of these characters

[flovoid]

Hi!! I figured I’d hop off anon for this. It’s the slashed anon! I hope you’re still doing well!

First I wanted to say, I don’t know how I feel about guessing Rex’s death correctly. 😭 He’s my boy, your honor. He cannot simply die especially not like that (I’m totally kidding I just adore him)! I would love to hear more about Rex, Avery, and Fern’s dynamic. Since Avery and Rex were childhood friends I assume that Fern is fond of her? I don’t remember if I asked about this. 😭

Also! What were Avery and Rex studying in uni before the story takes place? I know Rex is a bit of a rebel but I was curious if he was taking after his mom, and maybe was studying something like psychology or criminology.

As for Wendell and Philip 😭😭 that’s so funny! I also love dynamics like this (after they’re not as toxic since Wendell was a jerk). Poor Philip but I’m glad after this all ends that him and Wendell seem to be able to strike up a friendship. I’m pretty interested to see how Wendell tries to make up for just being a jerk after so long. I’m sure that saving each other from the Piggler King helped some but still. Also was Wendell popular partially because he was on a sports team (I know he isn’t the best athlete), but I was curious to know why people think he’s cool/popular.

Sorry! Last question! Did Wendell and Philip go to school with any other characters before they attended the same university? I was curious if they had any other relationships with other characters prior like Sammy for example (rip Sammy 😭).

OMG YOU ARE SO SWEET AAAA AT LEAST I KNOW WHO YOU ARE FRIEND HEHE

no I totally feel you about Rex ending, im also crazy for doing this to him since hes also one of my favorites from this challenge😭- but yeah perhaps I might change some stuff about him or anyone ending (honestly I wanna take shots of them all together I wanna give them justice sjsksk)

YES SHE IS FOND OF HER!!! I would be honest I haven’t think or imagined in depth with Fern and Avery dynamics but I did imagine that Fern does find Avery a good girl and disciplined, and she ALWAYS scold Rex whenever he does something rebellious or whenever he get in trouble and involves Avery with him kshsjsjd-

I honestly never thought of a specific major for all the characters, because in my idea they were in a campaign trip and something like that, so I have little knowledge of what majors-departments that take students to the wilderness yk shsjsjshs—sooo yeah lets stay they all majored in something nature related (not everyone is actually liking their major because yk how being in uni sometimes sucks- the only one who likes it is Rex & Martha)

YEAHH!!! when I made them I always imagined they are having a silly little fights while also Phillip might look sad and a poor baby but hes actually having a silly little revenge on Wendell and nagging on him ksjssjsj- ohhhh and regarding Wendell ‘popularity’ he just got the attention just because people found him funny even though he might be the best athlete on the school team but he really isn’t that best… so he is portrayed as the best player on the school by the people just because he is the only decent one yk😭 (poor dude… at least he survived skhsjs)

also if you are curious to know the other cast schools:

- Wendell & Phillip from the same high school (to remind you again that they have the worst school as well)

- Avery & Rex from the same high school (a nice school), middle school, elementary school, and uni lol ik its obvious since they are childhood friends and neighbors skdj

- Sam & Martha from the same middle & high school (they became friends in middle school- its also funny because Sam is kinda a dumb headed but Martha is the smart-nerd one lmao)

- and Viviana (Sam has a silly crush on her lol) & Mallory are from different schools- not together

ABOUT ME / WHY I’M HERE / WHAT’s GOIN ON

I decided to start this blog because I was recently diagnosed with brain cancer.  

FAQ - [I try to answer asks privately but sometimes I accidentally post!!]

I have a very positive prognosis called an anaplastic astrocytoma IDH1 mutation. 

The median person w my diagnosis gets through treatment and then has 6 cancer free years, and then dies after about 12 years. (I don’t think this applies to me bc i’m above median and at the best hospital in the world and i’m young and healthy plus i have all of the positive genetic markers that indicate a better chance at survival). So i’m thinking i’ll probably go more like 15 years without cancer coming back and like 30 until my death - which will put me at 55 and that works for me!

I’m not afraid to die

My situation is typically diagnosed in people between 20 & 40, even up to about 60 yrs. I’m at a pretty normal age to be diagnosed. 

Prevalence in the country’s population: about .004%

A little more than half of people diagnosed w a grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma have my same (very lucky) mutation which is IDH1

I’m single 

My hair is only falling out where they are radiation beaming me, random splotches on my head lol. The type of chemo I’m on (temozolomide) doesn’t usually cause hair loss!

here’s a good resource if u wanna get academic about it: http://astrocytomaoptions.com/idh1-mutation/

I can have sex (i’ll write a post about this if you guys are interested and link it here if i get more Qs about it)

I didn’t do egg preservation.

-this is the post detailing my thoughts that lead to my decision:https://weirdestlifeever.tumblr.com/post/165811342343/reproduction-dilemma

The story: 

I’m 25 - I have a degree in psychology and another in philosophy of society and law. after college, as most of us do, I moved back in with my parents in the twin cities, MN. I worked a job and saved a few thousand bucks so I could move in with my (then) boyfriend who lived in downtown Chicago. I moved to Chicago, got a really awesome nannying job (I wanted to save to put myself through grad school) and was living my life for the first time as a completely independent woman. I even adopted the love of my life - MABEL THE MUTT (my sidekick - there should be billions of pictures of her up on my blog at this point lol). My relationship ended and I went from the West Loop neighborhood to the Humboldt Park neighborhood, which I absolutely fell IN LOVE with! Constantly raved about how I was never leaving Chicago and how happy I was. Life was very small and simple for me. I was dating around, working a happy job, and had my little babygirl Mabel. 

I had been diagnosed with panic disorder right around the time I graduated college, and that shit was no fun - but by the time I moved to Chicago my anxiety was under control and no longer holding me back (all hail the almighty SSRI<3). Background about my anxiety - it was always based on the idea that I was going to have a stroke or seizure or that something catastrophic would happen in my brain - I feared going insane one day or having some ridiculous disaster. I brushed these fears off as me overthinking my constant headache and I ignored them. I figured I was projecting insecurities onto my own brain, lol. 

It turned out that there really was something wrong with me! I started having seizures, then went to an ER on September 5, when they found a mass in my brain that turned out to be a 4x4x4 cm malignant tumor. I had a very successful brain surgery on September 6 2017 to remove said tumor. Luckily, I recovered from that surgery like an absolute champion (because I am one) and was back to myself within 10 days. It’s 9/19 and I feel mostly like my pre-brain surgery self, except on painkillers and slightly stuttery lol. 

My goal with this blog is to show that You can have cancer and be a normal person - You are NOT Your cancer/disability! I am about to start radiation and after that I will be doing chemo, so y’all are along for the ride and about to watch me go bald and get skinny and be really sick for a while. HOWEVER, there is no doubt in my mind that I am going to smash this cancer, because I am a soldier and I’m not scared whatsoever. My support system is unreal and I’m surrounded by so much love I could almost reach out and grab it. Pretty fucking cool. 

Another goal I have with this blog is to ANSWER QUESTIONS you might have about cancer and its process. I can only speak based on my own experience, but I’m going to try to be as open and honest as I possibly can be. 

Goal #3 - I’m going to tell you when you’re being rude and what’s not okay to say to / ask of someone who has serious health issues. I’m not afraid of a malignant brain tumor and I’m not afraid to tell you when you’re being a jackass. 

Goal #4 - I WANT TO CONNECT WITH PEOPLE IN SITUATIONS THAT ARE LIKE MINE IN ANY WAY AT ALL! Let’s be friends and give each other advice and love and support!! We are in it to win it together!!! Let’s empower each other <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

I’m sure more goals will surface as I continue.
