I am giving a plate full of energon cookies and a plushie of Optimus and a plushie of megatron to baby bumblebee because he is so cute

Cookies? Plushies? I do smell a energon tea party

Baby Bee is very small so of COURSE the plushies are almost as big as him.

I have never in my life watched a millisecond of the hit 2010 medical drama House, but the general impression I’m getting of Dr House himself is he’s like if your transition doctor was great in getting you meds and guiding you through surgery but called you unimaginable slurs the entire time

Y’know those evil personas that Youtubers had back in like 2017 or so? I love the idea of those. I think we should bring back using opposite names as like our 'evil persona'. I'll go first, hello everyone, my name is InformallyCertain! Awful to meet you, now I'm off to kick a puppy, or whatever it is evil people do!!

Here, let me give you a free trial! *Stan proceed to beat the absolute crap out of Ford until Bill leaves his body* Ford, waking up: What happened??? Why do I feel like crap?!? Stan, beaming: You're welcome, bro-bro! Man, that felt therapeutic!!

Sometimes at work it's not my place to tell people the things I want to say, and I find I often go home at the end of the rougher days to stand blankly in my shower and tell myself over and over what I wish I could pass on.

This accomplishes very little, and mostly just gives me a tension headache, but through it all I think I've narrowed myself down to a few solid things I'd like to tell people the most.

You can't change people. Not permanently, not for anythig. You can support them, encourage them, love them, give them tools and opportunities and resources, but you can't make them change. They can change themselves if they want to, but they have to want to, and they have to want it for themselves, because they're the only one that's certain to be with them forever.

For better or worse, you make your own choices, and blaming bad choices on others doesn't only work to absolve you of responsibility- it also robs you of control. Because if you say you only did something because I did something, then you arent only shifting blame- you're admitting that you cannot control yourself, that you cannot truly make choices for yourself, that other people can control you- and as long as you truly beleive that, you'll keep facing the same problems over and over. You'll keep letting others dictate your choices, because you'll beleive that they can, and you'll never be free.

White knights on horseback are from fairytales. Nobody can help you if ou're not willing to help yourself. To try, to put the dirty work in, to belive you're worth that effort- Act as though nobody is coming to save you. From a struggle, from pain, from bad relationships, from yourself. And when you do save yourself, because you will, because failure here isn't an option if you want to survive, you'll never find another dragon that can keep you prisoner.

Don't say anything to anyone that you wouldn't want them remembering forever.

Doing the right thing in bad circumstances is hard. It's the hardest thing. But if you make the choice to do that hard thing anyways, despite your fear, you'll go on the rest of your like knowing that you're the sort of person who did something.

The present only seems the hardest because the past I over and the future hasn't happened.

There's so much joy ahead of you, the kind you can't possibly understand until you see it yourself.

The responsibility of consequences is often disguised as the power of permission. "I won't do this if you help me", "I'll work on my anger if you do this for me", "I promised you I'd quit, but can I have just one?". The unspoken question is, "Can it be your fault if this goes badly?"

You cant make someone love you the way you need to be loved. Someone can love you very much and still be bad for you, even if you love them very much in return. Two people can love each other very, very much, and try their very best, and still be wrong for each other.

Sometimes being near to someone changes you, even in good ways, and the people you become don't fit together as well as the people you were.

Caring takes work. Even if it's real. Especially if it's real. And the most important gestures aren't the grand, poetic, songs-and-flowers-and-tears moments; they're getting out of bed even though you don't want to. Paying attention to things you don't enjoy. Scrubbing pans, or opening a window, saying "thank-you", or helping carry groceries into the house. The small things fill the big things- without the small, boring, mediocre things, big things feel hollow.

Thrre is honour and dignity in humble work.

If you are a cruel and spiteful person, then you will find every place you visit to be full of the same cruel, spiteful people. This is not because the world is as cruel as you, but because everywhere you are, you will be disliked. This is the curse that comes with being persistently cruel and spiteful.

If you are a kind and ppsitive person, you will repeatedly encounter kind and positive people, because as they grow familiar with you, they will be happier to have you near. This is the reward of being a kind and positive person.

When splitting paths with loved ones, briefly or forever, aim for your last words to always be "I love you".

Ok so a lot of real world surgery training starts with cadavers, because you kinda need to start training surgeons on a "patient" who is already past the point of being totally fucked up by beginner mistakes. So, consider: All fantasy healers are trained necromancers, at least to some degree. Because the first steps in learning to be a healer involves practicing on dead bodies. No one is allowed to just jump straight into knitting together flesh and bone on a living person because sweet merciful gods, no! Do you know how wrong that can go?! You're starting on a lamb shank, before working up to a donated body, long before anyone will let your magic within a mile of an injured human being.

And depending on the kind of necromancy we're talking about, how different is it calling back a passed spirit to its former body vs. being a healer who can grab that soul and tether it in place, to stop it wandering off before they're done fixing up the meat-suit?

Sure there's a clear difference between setting a bone and reanimating a long-dead corpse, and the general public knows this...but what healers know is that it's more complicated than that. They know there's a grey area, between "healing" and "necromancy". There's a place where it's...hard to really say whether it's one or t'other. To those in the know, the big secret is that there isn't really a difference, it's all part of a continuum. Is restarting a stopped heart healing or necromancy? When you're holding onto a bucking soul, trying its best to dive from this world to the next while you repair its broken body, is that really just healing? Or is that just a very pre-emptive form of necromancy? What if you snatched that soul back just seconds after it left the body? What if it was minutes? Or an hour? Where do you draw the line?

Fantasy healing, blood magic and necromancy.

It’s been bugging me for a white that these three tropes, often placed far apart in magical ideologies, really belong together. There’s only a fine line between life and death. Why is blood always portrayed as an evil thing when it’s really a very useful thing?

It’s bugged me for a long time that healing spells in D&D 3.5 aren’t necromancy spells. Bodies are just bone and flesh and skin, it’s the same set of skills to knit broken pieces back together whether those piece are still living or already dead, it’s just the living still have some homeostasis going on.

If you are learning to heal, people or animals, anatomy training can leave you with this idea (which is not entirely false) that you can take a body apart like its made of Lego. It’s just parts and systems. Just bits.

Sometimes you look at those parts in isolation, sometimes as a whole. Working with bodies and parts, whether alive or dead, is very, very similar and in my mind it only takes a small jump from working with the living to working with the dead.

And poor blood gets such a bad reputation. Blood is great, blood is useful. Blood is key to all healing processes in the body. It carries information, it’s key to life.

Sure, too much blood outside the body can be a problem, but too much of anything can be a problem. Nobody complains about a fireball being inherently evil but blood just seems to carry a connotation with it.

I feel like these aspects are all part of the same spectrum, and only tiny steps away from each other.

Then again maybe I’m the character that turns into the well intentioned villain in the fantasy novel.
