I saw a thing about timelines and how your character ages and it got me thinking.

In most verses, Irene rarely makes it to middle age. She’s typically struck down early on when she gets too big for her britches and ends up murdered. Willow usually is next, succumbing to her heart if she hadn’t before Irene’s death. She can typically stick it out until middle age and a bit beyond.

Dustine is the only one who typically manages to make it to old age, usually caring for the next generation and regaling them with stories of their mother and her sister, or if he’s fortunate, grandmother and sister

Just reflecting on taking time off work for my mental health and how awesome it was

I really hope this makes sense, I’m really tired and I think I’m getting sick but I just wanted to share:

Something valuable I’ve learned this past month is that, sometimes, to make the changes you need to make, you need to step away from other things to do so

If you feel overloaded, you aren’t gonna be able to make any meaningful changes, and you aren’t gonna be able to do what you need to do to take care of yourself

And sometimes, taking that step back you need to isn’t viable. I understand that completely. And it’s awful that that’s the case for so many people, and I recognize the fact that I was able to do so for myself is a privilege

My heart rate went from normal to 230–240 bpm out of nowhere in early November— it started as I was settling down for bed. And it went for an hour straight. My body was DEMANDING that I slow down, because something had to give, and I couldn’t let it be me (and yes, I’ve spoken with my dr about it and we aren’t quite sure what it is, though he suspects PSVT iirc. This isn’t the first time something like that has happened to me, but it’s the first time it’s ever happened so long, usually it’s a few minutes tops)

I felt like I was at the end of my rope. So, I asked my dr to sign a note for stress leave from work. And I followed up with him every 2 weeks after that. And you know what? It was exactly what I needed

What I did, is I stepped back, and just focused on what I needed to do, but not let it envelop me— in this case, it was getting through the rest of the semester. But I also allowed myself time to breathe, to relax, to not think or worry about anything. And, funny enough, that’s what helped me change the most!

Like, I haven’t been good at dental hygiene for pretty much my whole life, certainly my whole adult life. A lot of people struggling with any number of mental illnesses get it. But while I was on this break, I was like, you know what? Let’s try using my mouthwash before I go in the shower, because I’m not supposed to eat or drink for 30 mins after I use it. I’m always hesitant to use it any time except for before work because of that fact. But I’m not gonna be eating or drinking in the shower, so it’s the perfect time! And, hell, I’ve got time to, why not brush my teeth while I’m at it? And now, I’m back to work, and… I’ve been brushing my teeth consistently? And it feels amazing? Like, how am I doing this?? Because I took a step back to focus on what I needed! And, hell, even to give myself time to not even THINK about it

Obviously, I have so many other things I need to work on, I know. But this break has shown me that I’m not gonna be able to do what I need to do without that space. And it taught me that, my job… is really awful for my mental and physical health 😭 incredibly stressful, toxic social environment, on my feet all day on a concrete floor doing physical labour, masking, waking up at 3AM for a 5:30 shift, having no time or energy to enjoy my time off after my shift, impossible to uphold a social life because I need to go to bed at like 7, 7:30, and work every Saturday… I was already motivated to leave when I had the chance, and now I’m even more motivated. Noooo, thank you. You can’t pay me enough to spend the rest of my working life there

But anyway, that’s enough bitching. The point is, I needed to take a step back. I’ve needed to for a long time now. And now that I gave myself that time, for a month, I feel better than I have in a long time. Not “fixed,” mind you, but much, much better than before. So if you ever have that opportunity, I implore you: please take it. Life can be so much better than you think

Anya, pointing at his hair, almost touching him: WOOOW Jimmy, you look so COOOOL with your slicked haaaair, you're SO COOOOL~ Jimmy: (burps) thank you, Anya.... Anya: HEEHEE you look so COOOOL with your little chaaaain and your hair heehee~ Jimmy, lifting his glass: thaank you, Anya....

Anya, chin in her hands: You're such a mister COOOOOOOOL guy, Jimmy, hehehahahehe~ Jimmy, squinting at her over his glass: You don't actually mean that, do you, Nurse Anya?

Anya, leaning back, pointing at him: (all caps) Ooooh~ Jimmy-Wimmy busting out the big-boy voice! Jimmy: the WHAT?! Anya walks off, giggling, while Jimmy stands, saying "why I oughtta" and shaking his fist before wobbling in place and falling. The last panel shows him face-down on the floor, surrounded by unconcerned patrons.

Rapunzel type tower situation but the tower is a giant mimic and hunts in the way a pitcher plant does. Yes, fair knight. Climb up this conveniently long hair, follow the sweet smell, pull yourself up and over the window sill and fall in to the far below.

idk if this is because of just how social media has shifted over the years, but i've come to notice it feels like people don't really talk *with* each other anymore, but more like... *at* each other. and it's kinda sad to see social media feeling so one-sided these days 😓

If I knew anything about the general gist of how to make something sound like a scientific paper published in a journal, I'd love to write a story that's told through a series of scientific papers published back and forth between Ford Pines and Professor Membrane that get progressively more and more heated. Ford, of course, is trying to get the scientific community to accept the existence of the paranormal. Prof. Membrane is hell bent on getting this lunatic's ravings not only banned from future publications, but also retroactively removed from all the journals they've been published in so far
