why is autism so expensive

[fatuismooches]

Pantalone and Dottore buzzing in my brain. Being in a poly relationship with them but they’re both so possessive of you in they’re own ways they can barely stand seeing the other with you.

Like Pantalone always pampering you and giving you gifts to show he can treat you far better than that doctor and Dottore making you little trinkets out of scrap metal (it’s endearing if nothing else) and always clinging to you, kissing your cheeks, giving you as much physical attention as he can (they both do this but Dottore would be much more public about it methinks, also Pantalone getting fussy cause he like gets you on an amazing skin care routine and Dottore has a gall to blemish your perfect skin by biting you, drives him up the wall)

Eventually from your pushing they learn to share you (maybe even tolerate each other to the point they can begrudgingly say they’re boyfriends) and just join together in their possessiveness😭

They get all fussy if you even look at another person for too long and will drag you away or cling to you to try and scare the other person away. It’s never your fault! No, no, it’s always the annoyance. How dare someone even try to take your attention, let alone speak to you when the two are around. Oughh if another harbinger grabs your attention they will not be afraid to get snappy with them, even if they’re higher ranking.

In conclusion i want to kiss them both on the cheeks [📺]

📺 ANON I'M LITERALLY TURNING INTO JELLY AHHHH I CAN'T DO THIS FLUFF TODAYYY 😭❤️❤️❤️ But omg REAL. REAL!!! All the Harbingers are possessive in their own way but these two? They're something else. Dottore for... obvious reasons and Pantalone is kinda self-explanatory too, I mean you are his most beloved treasure, it's only natural he wants you to be with only him! Especially not with the Doctor of all people. Of course the feeling is mutual, Dottore can't see anything beneficial you'd gain from hanging out with that damn banker, you should just stay in his lab and keep him company! So there is always some... not-so-hidden competition between the two. Trying to one-up the other and get you to agree with them. You've seen it all, you know all of their tactics, you aren't phased much anymore when they come up with a new scheme to get your attention and win you over. Though... you aren't complaining! It's still lovely to be the object of affection for these two men, you just wish... they would get along better. It gets awkward when they're both cuddling you and then they start making passive-aggressive comments to each other...

oh MY GOSH PANTALONE GETTING US A SKIN CARE ROUTINE AND DOTTORE RUINING IT IS MY NEW FAVORITE HC AWWW I'm chuckling way too hard at that 😭 why is it canon. Dottore does it because he loves to bite you, but it's an added perk when he sees how threateningly hard Pantalone is smiling at him. Look no matter what he does, Dottore's still biting you. Even if he cuts funding. Though please convince Pantalone that it's okay and that you don't mind the bites before the lab goes bankrupt. You're literally the peacemaker for them 😓 Omgefkfwnew now I can't get out of my mind soft moments with Pantalone doing skincare stuff together, he would be so gentle helping you apply it and all,, hng (Dottore isn't invited, Pantalone insists he can't appreciate this and for once you agree.)

HAHAHA SO TRUE getting to your breaking point because your boyfriends can't get along, you love them dearly but you cannot go another day with another passive-aggressive comment to each other. So you just leave for a bit. The only note you leave is that by the time you come back, they better be more civil towards each other. The two men are dead silent when they read that and think you just went out for a few hours perhaps but nope. You went out on a whole mission for a week or two. And they had absolutely no clue, which is a huge feat in itself... and who did you go with. Childe. Tartaglia. Oh my God they collectively agree to rip him to shreds when you get back. At least they can bond over hurting people. Mhm, having one scary dog Harbinger is already frightening, but two? Nightmare fuel for the average person. And them blaming the other person is so in character 😭 Nope, their beloved could never do anything wrong ❤️ But don't worry, you needn't worry about anyone else! All your love and affection, your smiles and laughs, should be reserved for them only. No one else should be able to bask in such things.

They both deserve kisses all over their cheeks, 100%. And also kiss them both on the lips to get them to stop arguing. But also do it quickly because if you kiss one for too long, the other will get irritated. Mhm, but then they collectively decide you haven't kissed them long enough so then you all are just kissing each other for an extended period of time. Good stuff.

the thing abt mental illness that sucks is. the stuff that people tell you makes it better doesn't actually always make it better in the moment. and it's hard when ur low energy but i think a lot of people get this idea of "it doesn't help so i'm not going to do it" but sometimes you gotta reframe it and see it as like. okay this doesn't make it better but it's also not going to make it worse. like washing your face might not make you feel better but it also won't make it worse. gentle exercise won't necessarily make you feel but it won't make you feel worse. going outside isn't going to fix anything but it also won't make it worse. trying to see them as neutral things rather than a magic cure. and the thing is over time when these things build up and it becomes routine, it DOES make it better. but it takes time and consistency. in the meantime though it won't make it worse.

Alright, it's time to think about a new story idea. I love how good I am at overthinking!

I swear I stress over this more than my real-life struggles, yet I still haven't created anything I'd call a masterpiece 😃🫶

I like to think I'm not a particularly vain creature, but I've been struggling recently with my face. I know I look fantastic for someone in her 30's. However, I am starting to get the faintest of laugh lines around my mouth and eyes and, especially when I smile in photographs, I'm noticing... a lot more lines. Which makes sense. Because I am aging. And objectively that is a good thing and I really would like to continue my crusade against the beauty industry etc. but the only reason I stopped wearing makeup on a daily basis was because I got eyeliner tattooed on so, clearly the beauty standards are entrenched. Anyway. I'm doing everything I can topical/skincare wise as well as internal/food-wise to treat my skin kindly. I know several female friends my age who started getting regular filler years back but I just...don't want to spend the money or take the risk and B is adamantly against anything been injected into my face, which is fair. I wouldn't want anyone to touch his beautiful laugh lines.

So, I've been researching: 1. At-home microneedling stamps like Qure (seems rollers aren't a good idea) 2. Light therapy like Omnilux 3. Microcurrent therapy like NuFace

Does anyone have experience with any of these (or other!) options for desperately clinging to visible youth without A. filler or B. spending a shit ton of money?

I feel like I'm in this awkward place where there's still hope of looking younger than I am. If I was two decades older with deep laugh lines and was past the point of no return that would just be...easier. Like I wouldn't feel as if I had to try so hard anymore, you know? I don't know. There are days that being a woman in society is exhausting because yeah fuck traditional western standards of beauty, but also...I want to feel pretty.

getting a tretinoin prescription was so funny because the doc was literally like "you'll think nothing is happening for 3 weeks and then you'll have the worst breakouts of your life. then your skin will peel like a snake for a month, revealing beautiful, poreless New Skin. if there is even one drop of water on your face when you apply this cream you will get third degree burns. buy some vanicream and I'll see you in three months!"

So I don't really know how to classify today.

I did exercise (pilates is crazy), but I got out of bed at 2 pm. I ate a healthy lunch but I went out with friends and had fast food for dinner. In my defense it was the only option I had but it still doesn't feel good. I did my makeup but didn't do my skincare in the morning (because I was asleep, embarrassing). I did cry a bit because my wounds are finally healing, and I was told I don't need to go to the hospital until the 6th. I decided today was a special day. I even messaged people back and wrote on the group chat.

INCOMING RAMBLE ABOUT SOCIAL SITUATIONS

There was a moment where they started playing card games. I am fully aware that I sound like an asshole when I say that I hate most card games, it's not my choice, I just get so bored it makes me lowkey angry. I like some card games though. However, they weren't playing those, and I was having this whole existential moment where I was questioning whether or not I'm a terrible, selfish person for opting not to play.

If that wasn't enough, someone told me that I was going to the bathroom to avoid playing and I immediately said "I don't need excuses to not play, I already said I do not want to. And peeing has nothing to do with cards" and it is only now that I'm realizing how BAD it sounded. I didn't mean anything by it, I was just being honest. I promise that I'm not one of those people that say that they're honest as an excuse to be a literal villain, I just truly didn't think about it until now.

Why do I always realize I sound like an asshole hours after I do stuff like this? (I know why) (Also, in my opinion I wasn't, but that doesn't really matter)

ANYWAYS

Trying as usual.

I'm working on a recipes pdf that hopefully will help me a lot, since planning meals is the most difficult part of cooking for me.

I'm also thinking on what to do to impress my tutor in the internship, and I can't think of anything and that's depressing. So there's that I guess.

Skincare 101

So I can't wait to try these new skincare products, so I hope the weather's better, so I can really get into it. •́⁠ ⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠,⁠•̀

[mishkakagehishka]

My mom's newest obsession with my appearance is my skin, so she bought all these skincare products and trying to make sense of them makes me feel like i'm solving those logic riddles. This one has to be used after that one, and that one has to be used on dry skin, but this one on wet skin, and then you finish with this other one, but you have to do this fourth one before all else, and it's like. Jesus Christ.

lil sis, are you obsessed with anything lately? for me it's this korean skincare brand called "cosrx" ><" my fav youtuber has been talking about vitamin c, retinol, bha, eye cream etc for the longest time and i never really knew where to get them, only until recently i discovered cosrx's official store on our go-to online shopping platform - ive only used one of their products (snail mucin cream) so far, and only for 2 days i already see significant improvement on my skin 😭😭😭❤️ (maybe partly bc my skin has been in such a bad condition for many years already and when i foud a product thats super effective it really works wonders on my face!), now i can't stop browsing their store 😭😭😭 they have so many products i wanna try them all 😭😭😭😭

big sis!! it's so cute to see someone actually working on their skincare and then in turn it works out so well for them! congratulations!! ❤️

i am so lazy at skincare sometimes when i get ready at ungodly hours i put hair serum on my face instead of toner cos my eyes are heavy with sleep lololol (this is why one should listen to music in the morning at all times lololololol)

trans men on t skincare question

im a month and some change on 100ml. my skin, especially my scalp/shoulders/chest/head and a bit of face is so broken out. my normal skin routine doesnt seem to be enough. currently is: - ayur-medic anti blemish wash: every 3 days (has alcohol in and i do not want to be dry) - the cerave hydrating skin cleanser: every day, all over in shower and face - neutrogena oil-free acne moisturizer, pink grapefruit: face after every shower

this used to be more than enough, combated both the dryness and the oil but now im so broken out and my shoulders and chest are blah. im not particularly oily or dry that i notice, but my scalp is such a mess with doing hair washing shit too so who knows if thats out of wack. the rest of me is ok on that front. y'all have any advice? i do not trust ads so i wanted to ask the boys.

IT'S SELF CARE EVENING

[sarahtran]

welcome back to my personal ramblings! i hope this helps those going through it with acne right now (even if you haven't found your "glass skin" solution yet) or, if you don't personally have acne, i hope this helps you understand what it's like and how you can support someone struggling with the condition of their skin.

man i feel like people really discount the sheer volume of things you can do as devotional acts to your deities. like bro….. you can do something like brushing your teeth as a devotional act. your gods probably want you to take care of yourself, no? how about inviting them to sit with you for a meal? or while you file your taxes? or devoting some time listening to music? what about making your bed? or sitting in the sun (please go outside even if just for a little while and in the shade)? like. y’all. come on. you’ve got options!!!!! you dont have to have all the pomp and circumstance!!!!!!!

why is eye cream so expensive
