#my joints crack like glowsticks

[musicalteacats]

I just wanted to ask the general audience if my joints are weird enough to use my cane more often??? And the KokoBot thing thinks I'm in a crisis??? My good sir I just wanted to see if other people think my ancient joints and wacky heart rate warrant me wanting to use my cane more often??? How is that CONCERNING??? I just want someone else's opinion T_T

[sleepy-d00dle-man]

that is not a suggestion /lh

[autismsubway-remade]

i have the constitution of a victorian orphan ive not a penny to my name but i do have extra strength tums on me at all times

[voxtism]

being neurodivergent is wild sometimes. like ill be in public and then I'll pop every joint in my body as a stim, as if I were a child cracking a giant fucked-up glowstick, and then say some shit "who up trousling their bones" and continue on throughout my day

[shittymalevolentheadcanons]

Kayne has hyperextended joints and cracks like a glowstick but no one considers it to be wieird cuz he's an eldritch god (he likes to unsettle people with his hand tricks but Arthur can't see either way so it's no fun)

yknow what yeah I'll add that to my personal canon

I love the thought of kayne doing just unholy things with his hands hoping to get a rise out of John and Arthur but like.. Arthur can't see and john WAS an eldritch god so hes probably seen/done weirder. and kayne HATES that he gets no reaction

when he cracks like a glowstick does he get to glow? I think it'd be funny

fic rec friday

hi!! welcome to fic rec friday. every week, i pick five fics i have bookmarked and rec them with a little review. check them out!

let there be light, let me be alright by annaaperson

His words stopped short as he, along with the rest of the cabin, stared in wonder-filled horror at Will. Specifically Will Solace. More specifically, his hands. His hands that were glowing a soft golden light into the night’s bleeding darkness. (aka, 5 times Will freaked people out by cracking his joints and lighting up like a glow stick and the one time he doesn't)

this was very sweet. glowstick will solace is such a funny fucking character trait and it does not have the spotlight it should have. loved the will & lee and will & clarisse. and i am a 5+1 truther why are those fics like actual crack

2. Death Boy by percyspandapillowpet

The three times Nico said he hated the nickname Will gave him and the one time he didn't.

okay full and fair warning i WILL be talking about this author all the time. they carried the pjo fandom in 2016 truly. and this fic is so tooth-rotting!! love fics where nico slowly warms up to having friends as he deserves truly

3. The Thing You Need Most by @wintersky101

When he's finished in the infirmary, when he's finally done all that he can to keep himself distracted, Will staggers into the Apollo cabin and immediately crumples to his knees, tears already springing to his eyes.

no this one is so important bc sometimes i feel like this fandom falls into the repetition of sad-nico-comforting-will and while thats not necessarily bad!! its nice to have some variety. and having nico be there for will when will cant be is so important and lovely to see. this fic does it so well!!

4. I swear by Apollo the physician, and Asclepius, and Hygieia and Panacea and all the gods and goddesses as my witnesses, that, according to my ability and judgement, I will keep this Oath and this contract: by @nicostolemybones

Will breaks the entire Hippocratic Oath.

i read this fic months ago and i literally think about it all the time. the quiet bitterness. the rebellion borne of a deep deep love for everyone around him. the backbone made of steel. william andrew solace i would die for you

5. Beautiful pain by Phantomxlegend

Will can take the pain of others and bear it himself. Half the time it’s not even a conscious decision and he doesn’t even know he did it... until later when the pain hits.

is this a little out there? yeah. a little wumpy?? yeah. but what is the point of fandom otherwise. this fic is exactly what it advertises

thank you for joining me this friday!! happy reading!!

Undead Unluck Chapter 209 Spoilers!!

Babe wake up a new negator just dropped!! Kaede, Negator of Popularity!

Poor Sean having to keep Fuuko's word, he can't even open his eyes to witness the barren audience

Cute excited Julia in the back!!

Bro?? me next I wanna be a human glowstick and hear my joints pop like firecrackers

I genuinely can't tell what's going on in the third left panel... Is Sean pushed back by her singing voice that he's lying flat while trying to hold onto both Fuuko and Julia?

I know the wobbly notes is meant to show that she sings off key but I like to think she sang heavy metal (the OG solo Babymetal basically)

Fuuko's existence erased by lesbianism confirmed 🙂‍↕️ her parents couldn't fall in love so Kaede x Kururu becomes canon instead hence Fuuko's existence goes poof 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Her side profile looks so much like Fuuko wehhh

Would be absolutely hilarious if this is exactly what happened in L100, considering that Fuuko only found out in L101 that her mother's an idol. Kururu threw away her individuality for the idol life so we never really find out much of her personal info. Who's to say she's not Fuuko's mum's age even then?

the fuck kinda gay torture is happening in the background 😁😁 WHY ARE THEY SCREAMING

Nico, I can excuse the previous arc because you were fighting for your life and couldn't bother buttoning your shirt. But holy shit there's no stakes anymore cover them up you slut 😭 (or don't 😈)

Ain't no way 😭 he's microdosing these unwilling men with his traumatic ability wtf

Pain so strong Tella starts talking again (let's assume he actually got that same tech that lets him speak in L100 but the fact that he hasn't been talking this entire time means that he chooses not to... and yet the torture Nico is giving them all is enough to make him speak 💀)

This is so brutal this isn't a battle shoujo manga anymore this is a psychological shoujo manga

That's amazing and everything Fuuko I admire you so much and all that jazz but uh... YOUR LEFT ARM IS FADING AWAY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! PARADOX OR NOT!!

There we go, he is Papa Izumo! But Raita, huh... Is it that her name is Kaede Izumo and he took her surname? Or is it that neither have the Izumo name in the first place... Or maybe I'm an idiot and his name is Raita Izumo and I made it more complicated than it is by assuming Raita is his surname (still have no idea how to find the raws outside of stumbling it by chance)

Goodness fucking gracious Fuuko's mum is just Niclone at this point

Crack theory (a.k.a pulling this thought straight from my ass): The reason Fuuko is fading isn't because of timey wimey "oh my parents never got to bang" paradox bullshit but because Kaede is also Unluck (her interpretation is self-targeting because she has low self-esteem compared to Fuuko being very hopeful and optimistic as a child) and the existence of two Unlucks makes Fuuko fade away because negation abilities are tied to the soul (watch this age like milk 🙂‍↕️)

Sometimes I wish a giant would pick me up and squeeze me so all my joints pop at once because that sounds satisfying as fuck

Yeah baby crack me like a glowstick I bet I'm purple

[thehumansunbeam]

op note ooc: @foronceididntlookback (im a minor, so if that breaks your DNI, act accordingly. y'all, dont ask shir you wouldnt say to a real person. i will be including some personal headcanons in characterisation, no specific time frame, i am open to interaction with other RP blogs, so feel free to reblog, reply, ask, etc as other characters <3)

i need my joints to be cracked individually like glowsticks

[florida3exclamationpoints]

My main problem is that every joint in my body needs to crack like a glowstick but yet I have sworn off chiropractors bc I think they're evil. So who's gonna snap my spine in half

[bruciemilf]

Hi! I found your post about Bruce's joints cracking and freaking his kids (and everyone else within earshot) out. I loved it, it was hilarious but also I feel called out cause my joints crack very often scaring the shit out of anyone within close to mid range. The funny part? I'm not close to being in my late 30s or early 40s, I'm 19 turning 20 in a few months. We do I have to be so crunchy at the joints?!😭😭 (also if you can please tell me more including the Supers, I love your content on Battinson, Bruce Wayne, and just the Batfam in general. Gorgeous work😘)

Oh shit hello fellow 19 year old with a glowstick back sjsjsjs listen my back sounds like those creaky sound effects they have in horror movies where the protagonist tip toes on some stairs. I feel your pain

And ooo is there any specific thing you'd like to be talked about on here??? Also tyyyy it's just insane ramblings but I appreciate it sjsjs

[yb-cringe]

having awful joint pain has one upside and its that ive learned some funky ways to crack my knees. i can wind ‘em up slowly and then stick my leg straight out really fast and its like breaking a glowstick

[faolanrune]

CW: talking bout arthritis and shit like that, dunno if this falls under chronic type stuff or not

Sticks and Stones Won’t Break My Bones

But aging likely will

I don’t mean the normal sort of aging

Where my skin sags and my hair greys

I mean the aging that comes too soon

Joints cracking and shifting

Muscles tight and loose all at once

Sliding under my skin like snakes

Wrapped up in this violent ball of time

Ticking away second where my movements do not ache

They creak in warning

Snap from stagnation and

Pronounce themselves in protest

For they do not care for movement

They do not care for my stillness either

I cannot crouch

Catlike and small

I cannot curl up

burrow or contort

My knees are old men

Spinning tales of walking uphill both ways In the snow

Of when gas prices were a buck fifty and popcorn was a nickel

My muscles are elderly women,

Weaving this way and that to speak to the folks at church

Sharing words of Jenny’s new baby and that promotion Timothy just got

They never stay where they’re supposed to

They twist and move about

I’m stuck putting them back in place

My hands know every muscle

They’ve gotten friendly

Like neighbors with kids the same age

For I’ve put them back a dozen times

And another dozen over

My fingers know which muscle has loosened it’s restraints

Works quickly to rebuild what tries to decay

“But you’re just a child! Surely you’ve got good years left!”

Genetic they tell me

Family joints they tell me

Your old man has arthritis they told me

He’s 47, and only the gods could slow him down

I’m 20, and the gods might just succeed

For sticks and stones might not break my bones

But that does little to stop their rotting away

Context under the cut

So back a couple years ago my father got diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, which for anybody who doesn’t know it’s the step below rheumatoid. It’s all the fun shit without it actually eating away at his joints and muscles and stuff. It’s manageable to an extent with diet and being active in some way shape or form to help keep the joints loose.

I’ve had joint issues myself since puberty at least, if not earlier. Can’t rly sit cross legged or crouch or lay in a tight fetal position for very long without something trying to lock up or it beginning to ache. Somedays it feels like all I hear from my body is joints cracking.

I’ve put several muscles out of place, mostly in the neck and shoulder area. Put a large one out about a month ago simply by stretching. It’s not fun when you move one, muscles shouldn’t move like that.

Overall, even though I have yet to be tested myself cause don’t got the resources to do that rn, the chances of me not having are absolutely minuscule. I sound like a glowstick ffs. I’m an active sort of person, not in the running sort of way but in the I always like to be doing something kinda way. And the thought of this being able to take that ability away slowly but surely as I age is honestly terrifying to me.
