I thought I’d speak a little more about my father today as I feel ok enough to do so, and I’m ready to talk more now.

Simply put : my father has Parkinson’s disease. He’s had it since I was small — I haven’t known him without it honestly.

Parkinson’s is a neurodegenerative disease that affects dopamine-producing neurons. It gets progressively worse with time until you eventually lose the ability to walk, talk, and perform most basic functions.

Parkinson’s patient brains also produce ‘Lewy bodies’ which are unusual clumps of protein alpha-synuclein. This leads to ‘Lewy Body Dementia’ which my father has as well.

I have always known this is how it would be. It has been a long time watching him get worse, and it accelerated quickly the past year.

I really can’t say how awful this disease is.

This is why he has in hospice as I mentioned before.

He’s never complained in all the years though. He’s suffered greatly, and still remained kind, gentle, uplifting and full of faith in God. Always grateful even on his most painful days.

(This is how he has always been. I’m so proud he’s my father — I hope I’m even half the person he is someday)

I had a difficult discussion with his nurses recently. It’s been hard to process. I think my mother is struggling, and doing poorly with the news so I will speak little on it. (It was hard to write this as well) but I wanted to be up front about things.

Because there are some truly kind people here, and I would not wish anyone to feel hurt or worry by my quietness ♡

If you’ve prayed, wished me or my father well, or shared kindness I appreciate it sincerely, give a warm hug, and thank the Lord for it!

You are not being ignored — I have just been distracting myself here or often do not have the energy or mind to speak. I hope you understand ♡

Thank you again for all the warmth and caring I’ve received; even if I don’t say anything please know it still lifts my spirits and means much to me! Wishing love and comfort to you today ~ please take care, sweet friends ♡

Fan art for lovely Notchka88 (on AO3) for 'Miles To Go' story💗

[monkee-mobile]

it’s the 90s in my monkee universe where davy lost his mom young like he did irl and they are watching the land before time because, yknow it seemed like a cool newer movie and peter LOVES don bluth films so they happened to pick it up from a video store after it left theaters so they’re all at home on the couch snuggled up and then they get to the scene where the sharp tooth attacks and mike sees it coming and has a hand on davys arm immediately and sure enough theres a dying mother scene.

davy stiffens a bit but says he’s fine and so mike squeezes davys hand a bit but then eventually davy starts to sniffle and mikes like “okay that’s it micky pause it.” and despite it having been so many years since his mom passed and him having been so young at the time, something still hits davy, especially seeing a kid in denial that his mom is going away because he just assumed she’d always be there!

but davy is determined to push past most of his babyish ways of the past so he keeps assuring mike (who is holding his face and looking into his eyes) that he’s fine between breaths. but mike is in full mumma mode because davy became his baby forever and always, and they turn the film back on and it’s all fine but mike holds davy extra tight and snuggles up to him throughout the rest of the watch and davy can’t help but push himself into mike and cling onto his shirt because mike is there for him and he does love him so much.

KIBS!!!! HELLO KIBBS HI. I'm doing alright thank you for asking!! I hope YOU are doing FANTASTIC!!!!!! don't look at my sleep schedule though. it's fine I promise it's FINE but don't. look at it ok

[the-kingshound]

[spoiler] this is really me gushing about the demo, no constructive things whatsoever, sorry!

I loved this update so so much 👀 The options to have MC still controlled by their family's ways, like the cold bath and sleeping off the bed? Oh god. I can't wait for someone to pick up on that. Poor MC needs to relearn how to allow themselves comfort and care.

Also, the way MC handled Mordred is absolutely sweet and even more devastating with an otherwise intimidating/stoic MC </3 I want to shower them with flowers all their life. First it's a bracelet, then it'll be flower crowns or flowers braided into the hair, bouquets waiting for lil Mordy...

AND THE COMBAT MAGE REVEAL. Whoops, they know. Gaaaah I am reeling, I'm coming up with ways my MC might respond to being confronted about it 🥲

And our dearest sibling <333

Ahh thank you so much I was blushing reading your ask💗💞 I always adore hearing people ramble about the game!

Poor MC really needs time to allow themselves the good things, to believe they deserve it, after all. Oh and Mordred is basically the only character who isn't affected by MC's intimidating persona, he just wants to do want they do and be showered in pretty flowers...

Something that makes reading TOA so devastating is how fucking much Apollo feels about Everything. There’s so MUCH. Like I don’t even know how to describe it to you if you haven’t read the books yourself. He has so many complicated thoughts and emotions about just about everything and he cares about everything so much and there is just SO MUCH going on in his head. And yet none of it ever reaches his mouth!!

He almost never says what he’s feeling. What little comes out of his mouth about his thoughts barely even scratches the surface of what he actually means. Like he’ll be having a long ass monologue about how incredible someone is, showing a deep understanding of them as a person and empathizing with them so hard you’d almost think it’s projection but it’s not he’s legitimately just mind melding with this random person he met like a week ago and he’s thinking the softest, kindest thoughts about them like he knows they’re fucking incredible - and what comes out of his mouth is just like, “you’re a wonderful friend :)” AND ITS LIKE. THERES SO MUCH MORE UNDER THE SURFACE. the sheer admiration and adoration he has for everyone around him……… UGHHH!!! But he never VOICES ANY OF IT!!!!!! He never tells anyone about what Zeus did to him……. He never tells anyone except the reader about his realization that Zeus is abusive…. He never even tells commodus about how much he adored him, not then and not now… he refuses to tell anyone when he’s in pain or tries to justify the things he does when he actually had Decent Reasons for why he did something… I’m. I’M. AUGH. AHHHHH

HE DOESN’T EVEN TELL US ALL OF HIS THOUGHTS IS THE THING. THERES EVEN MORE THAT HE IS NOT TELLING US!!!!! THE FUCKING OCEAN OF FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS HE HAS ABOUT EVERYTHING IS THE CLIFF NOTES VERSION. I AM IN DISTRESS.

And YET…. Even what slips out of his mouth is so fucking devastating it is SO devastating. He’s so fucking kind and gentle with Harley and Meg and and other younger Demis and his kids… he’ll act like an obstinate idiot and then turn around say something that drags the core of the person he’s talking to into the light like nail on the fucking HEAD like he reached into their soul and gave them the words to express something that they were struggling to say aloud or that they didn’t even realize about themself. Around the 2nd book he starts putting voice to some of his feelings and thoughts about others and even that tiny fucking sliver is overwhelming to the people he’s talking to bc he’s SO. AUGHHHH

[merakiui]

HE CAME HOME HE CAME HOME HE VAME HOME ON KY SECOND TEN KEY PULL IM GOING TO SCREAM AND CRY AND KISS HIM SO MUCH ALL OVER AZUL MY BELOVED IM NOT OKAY ABOUT HIM

AAAAAA CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! RINGING THE WEDDING BELLS FOR YOU!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 >0<

For me, it is a quiet moment in the divorce attorney’s office. T_T I’m going to marry Epel, who was more than happy to come home many times unlike a certain tako, and we will live a peaceful life in Harveston. (*´꒳`*)

Hello, my friends! I hope that you're doing well & taking care ♡

This is just something I feel needs to be said:

I apologize for how long people have had to wait for me to get back to asks & stuff!

Since I treat people so warm & welcoming I think it's assumed I'm outgoing and social

And when I say I'm shy I'm just saying things

Not at all! I'm actually extremely introverted & keep to myself most of the time. Being social makes me nervous

I believe in kindness though. A friendly world with people who care about & consider one another is where I'd like to live ♡

So I try hard to get over my shyness & show as much love to everyone here as I can c:

And honestly, I enjoy seeing & hearing from new people! I'm really happy for all the kind hearts who reach out :D

It’s just often a lot for one as timid as I am :’)

So I’m sure it seems like you’re being ignored, but as long as you're courteous (and *not* inappropriate! As my blog states no adult content) I'll get back to you!

It might take a while, but all I ask is a bit of patience, please ♡

Sending hugs, hearts, & much happiness to my sweet friends! Thank you very much for all the love & I wish you the nicest day ~ ! 🤍 ⊹ ✿ ｡⁺ ♡₊ ࣪⋆ 🌼 XOXO

BANNER DESCRIBED IN ALT. TEXT

ps shoutout to the “lesser known” selfshippers! followers and notes really don’t matter, but i know a lot of people get upset over the lack of interaction so hi – reminder that being popular or whatever doesn’t make you any more or less valid, you’re cool just the way you are, so pls talk about your ships! we need it! we want it! you’re contributing lots just by being here!

talk abt what you love! spam post everyday! even though it may seem like nobody is interested or do not care about your ships, the art you put effort in, the fics you write or the games you reblog ( i am positive there are many people out there who do, okay? )

please try your best not to let that discourage you from doing what you want! selfshipping should be for you, don’t get pressured to reach a certain amount of mutuals, notes or the asks you get because they ultimately don’t matter, so don’t let that stop you from creating for things that bring you joy. maybe even take a break if it’s beginning to feel that overwhelming for you, i promise we’ll still all be here.

+ even if there are more popular self ships out there or whatever, that doesn’t make them any more valid or ‘better’ than yours, so just keep doing what you want to do if it makes you happy, don’t focus on people other than yourself. ♡

btw if you want letters, if you want to gush, if you want asks, etc. my askbox is always open okay !! i am you and your ship’s number one supporter (real)

[skoulsons]

We can go wherever you want. Where do you want to go?

I don’t know.
