#so results are positive so far

also some good blood news! I’ve been needing transfers every few months, but since I stopped eating gluten, my irons levels not only stayed level, but have GONE UP! for the first time in years!
so it was definitely damaging my digestive track. I’m suspicious that it also stopped me from properly absorbing calcium - it seemed so weird that my leg shattered from such a minor fall.
#it’s also weird because i have all the symptoms of celiac#but on the test my results were borderline rather than positive#which means I’ve been calling it gluten sensitivity rather than celiac disease#but so far as I know celiac is the only one that causes that sort of malabsorption??#so maybe the test was a false negative??? I dunno

“the class commentary in saltburn was shit” WHAT CLASS COMMENTARY???? NOT EVERY MOVIE WITH RICH PEOPLE HAS TO OR SHOULD HAVE CLASS COMMENTARY. EMERALD FENNELL KNOWS VERY WELL THAT SHE IS NOT THE RIGHT DIRECTOR FOR A MOVIE ABOUT CLASS COMMENTARY WHICH IS WHY SHE DID NOT WRITE A MOVIE ABOUT CLASS COMMENTARY.
#saltburn posting#saltburn#begging everyone who is complaining about the ‘message’ of saltburn to watch ANY interview with emerald#when you see her attention to detail and hear the way she talks about these characters#you will understand that this is a movie about obsession#and the cattons being rich heightens this for sure and pushes oliver into an uncomfortable position#in the exact same way that it pushes farleigh into an uncomfortable position#they will grant you help as long as you don’t ask for it#desires are messy and ugly so it’s better to just not have them#these ideas are absolutely a result of the catton’s wealth and status#but as far as the plot goes#their wealth is just a narrative tool to push these ideas about beauty and obsession#watch the cufflinks scene again and really think about it#think about venetia and what she wanted and farleigh and what he wanted#and all of the desires that are left unspoken at saltburn#and the desire to BE DESIRED#think about all of this and try to tell me that this is a movie about material gain

i cannot find anything to confirm if there's any merit to my theory that the floor of my mouth is obstructing my airway
#the evidence we have the far is:#the bottom mouth guard prevents the floor of my mouth from coming up (in turn limiting my tongue function) and i breathe well#i get a similar result if i force the floor of my mouth down as if I'm about to yawn#but i guess my concern is if that's less the floor of the mouth and more the tongue position that's doing it#because right now im arguably training very bad tongue position#but I'm pretty sure my tie is actually a grade 4 i can just compensate up to a 2#and I'd imagine that stopping the compensations is also a good thing#i guess I'll know soon enough because i have my first actually myofunctional therapy session in a couple weeks#so for now I'll just enjoy actually breathing i guess#although holding the position manually is giving me insane neck pain#so maybe i should wear the mouth guard more even during the day just to let that rest#thus far**

anyway don’t let the election results distract you from the fact that macron still publicly endorsed and supported the abaya ban in schools ….
#french politics#as someone who lived in France as an immigrant and who’s family are still based there. whoof#and we’re white and middle class (well my step mum is mixed but yeah)#it is so much worse for others and me and especially my little siblings experienced so much abuse and public harassment#like I’m happy with the results don’t get me wrong but it is far from being a positive feeling nonetheless#like my family are leaving France after living there for 8 years bc they don’t feel welcome anymore#and ofc it’s a privilege to be able to leave

Only Charles deserves the title, he is the only one who does not drive an illegal car and who manages to do miracles. He deserves the most
i cannot even lie, he has been cooking that title ever since 2019. somehow it reminds me of alonso so much, like it is so close but not really.
#ask#e#i could go on and on about this but also i gotta go rip :((#but yeah. look at others he is compared with and look at some stats like wins poles laps led head to head their trace in team's stats#best position in the wdc so far and stuff like that#because sometime only the result on paper doesn't show everything

Does anyone know of drawing resources for my young teen son?
He's wanting to explore nude bodies by tracing pictures of them in his art program. Which seems like an appropriate activity for someone going through puberty, but I don't have a very good source, and I'd rather he didn't wander the internet randomly looking for naked people.
(I've found some images on deviantArt, but ... it's deviantArt. It's mostly safe because the sex stuff is so far outside my kinks it doesn't even register as sexual. I would rather he didn't get exposed to that before some safer kinks manage to develop.)
He's only drawn stick figures before, and struggles to follow directions, so I'm not sure if drawing courses/videos would be much help. Maybe some sort of reference image site? I'd like there to be a LITTLE diversity, if possible, especially of body type. (Let's build a healthy idea about body fat and hydration!) And since this is a puberty thing ... nude-coloured body-suits kinda defeat the point.
#art#drawing#artblr#advice#parenting#puberty#I want to browse with him at first#I'm using this as a chance to build his comfort talking about puberty related stuff with me#so far results have been very positive#I even got a chance to apologize and discuss boundaries#when I thoughtlessly brainstormed with my husband#something that NQ had wanted to keep private#so now I can recognize his boundaries better!#my kids have NOT been exceptional at articulating their feelings so this is a big deal!

just wanted to drop by to say that I'm so in love with the latest tbhtbh!!!! I can't stop re-reading it, the last valtor x bloom scene with drunk, simp valtor was absolutely delicious. you both make me root for bloom to fail and stay with valtor, but also succeed - not only because my baby deserves to succeed as a treat, but also because i love seeing valtor suffer a bit (affectionate). this whole chapter also made me super curious and excited for the next chapter of tktw, and what is going on inside valtor's head during some of these moments and on his side of things.
Thank you!!! I feel like i dont let Valtor be a poor little meow meow enough, so this was my attempt at evening the score a little. I was actually kind of writing the corresponding tktw chapter in tandem with this one, just so that i would remember the good lines this time. the summary is blOOM!!1!! ^-^ <3 followed by an emphatic oh no
and god yes, i feel your struggle. Bloom desperately needs a win, and Valtor, for the sake of the dimension and also my sanity, needs to take some BIG fucking hits, but also he's just objectively at his best when he goes absolutely insane for a bit. and i just really want them in the same room all the time, so our girl will need to stay put for a while longer
#fic: to be hunted to be haunted#asks#so far Valtor has had the high ground when it comes to vulnerability#he may have confessed his feelings since day 1 but he's also not risking anything#his ego prevents any form of self doubt#while bloom has been Going Through Shit#all the time#so putting Valtor in a position where he is not really in control of himself#and therefore completely unaware to being played#resulting in him ACTUALLY being completely and undeniably powerless for a hot minute#which is going to rattle him so bad#and we all know he is at his worst when he feels cornered so hoo boy lets brace for impact

More random head children musings (aside from the really sad one because that deserves better than a throwaway post):
Honestly I think it’s very fortunate that Dism’s team isn’t *entirely* comprised of lucid dreamers.
#just pav things#they’re teenagers that haven’t lived with using their powers their whole lives. they have no innate control over it#They’re FAR more likely to push themselves psychologically because of their emotional issues#And they don’t know when too far is. So they face their punishments for overtaxing themselves as a result ✨#And like. Dism wants to play hero and be the MOST useful so he overcompensates and takes on too much#Doesn’t delegate tasks/responsibility in battle to anyone else at all#And because he’s wielding that persona Inigo also overcompensates because he doesn’t want Dism to get injured#something something lingering thoughts of Archie y’know ✨#And the poor coordination that Dism and Inigo both have in Arcs 1-3.5 means Idyllia#who secretly feels she’s done a terrible job of protecting the people she cares about her whole life#then uses her healing powers to an unnecessarily high degree#because there is one borderline-suicidal not-even-dodge-tanking-as-supposed-to idiot and#trying-to-fulfill-a-misguided-social-agenda idiot 🌈#What are the ultimate results of this?#Well you have ~75% of the party who are barely holding onto this plane of existence#Dism who can barely walk or speak because he can’t *time* any movements of his body correctly#Idyllia who’s left generally shaky weak and extremely fatigued— her life and vitality disappearing into vapid traces#And Inigo who loses his senses and any bearing on reality at all. Even the most basic tasks unintuitive to him#The chances of a TPKO would be absolutely certain if not for Cynthia being able to nurse and protect them while they’re recovering 😭❤️#Honestly they are coasting by on a LOT of luck and it shows#If the end of Arc 2 was any indication…..#They do get better though <3#And that’s how they manage to pull off the successful rescue operations for Idyllia and Archie later :D We love some good teamwork :)#Now you may be thinking— how does this same concept pertain to Archie’s kids?#Theon exhibits the same symptoms as Inigo… or that’s what I would say#He’s so scared of repeating history’s mistakes that he only uses his intuition for guiding his aim and not anything like#scanning for weaknesses or seeing the future. ESPECIALLY THE LATTER#So Theon actually doesn’t tax himself much at all#Consequences for Ewan include a sheer rejection of rationality and logic and positivity#Too much light is blinding! Leaving him blind to everything but his baser impulses

"Because Richard (III) usurped the throne, his retinue is inevitably seen as inimical to the crown and therefore in an important sense independent of royal authority. In the context of Edward IV's reign, in which the retinue was created, neither assumption is true. The development of the retinue would have been impossible without royal backing and reflected, rather than negated, the king's authority. Within the north itself, Gloucester's connection subsumed that of the crown. Elsewhere, in East Anglia and in Wales, that focus for royal servants was provided by others, but Gloucester was still part of that royal connection, not remote from it. In the rest of England, as constable and admiral, he had contributed to the enforcement of royal authority. When he seized power in 1483 he did not do it from outside the prevailing political structure but from its heart."
-Rosemary Horrox, "Richard III: A Study of Service"
#richard iii#english history#my post#Richard was certainly very powerful in the north but to claim that he 'practically ruled' or was king in all but name is very misleading#his power/success/popularity were not detached from Edward IV's rule but a fundamental part/reflection/extension of Edward IV's rule#even more so that anyone else because he was Edward's own brother#there's also the 1475 clause to consider: Richard & Anne would hold their titles jointly and in descent only as long as George Neville#also had heirs. Otherwise Richard's title would revert to life interest. His power was certainly exceptional but his position wasn't as#absolute or indefinite as is often assumed. It WAS fundamentally tied to his brother's favor just like everyone else#and Richard was evidently aware of that (you could even argue that his actions in 1483 reflected his insecurity in that regard)#once again: when discussing Edward IV's reign & Richard III's subsequent usurpation it's really important to not fall prey to hindsight#for example: A.J Pollard's assumption that Edward IV had no choice but to helplessly give into his overbearing brothers' demands#and had to use all his strength to make Richard to heed to his command which fell apart after he died and Richard was unleashed#(which subsequently forms the basis of Pollard's criticism of Edward IV's reign & character along with his misinterpretation of the actions#of Edward IV's council & its main players after his death who were nowhere near as divided or hostile as Pollard assumes)#is laughably inaccurate. Edward IV was certainly indulgent and was more passive/encouraging where Richard (solely Richard) was concerned#but he was by no means unaware or insert. His backing was necessary to build up Richard's power and he was clearly involved & invested#evidenced by how he systematically depowered George of Clarence (which Clarence explicitly recognized) and empowered Richard#and in any case: to use Richard as an example to generalize assumptions of the power other magnates held during Edward IV's reign#- and to judge Edward's reign with that specific assumption in mind - is extremely misleading and objectively inaccurate#Richard's power was singular and exceptional and undoubtedly tied to the fact that he was Edward's own brother. It wasn't commonplace.#as Horrox says: apart from Richard the power enjoyed by noble associates under Edward IV was fairly analogous to the power enjoyed by#noble associates under Henry VII. and absolutely nobody claims that HE over-powered or was ruled by his nobles or subjects#the idea that Richard's usurpation was 'inevitable' and the direct result of Edward empowering him is laughable#contemporaries unanimously expected Edward V's peaceful succession. Why on earth would anyone - least of all Edward -#expect Richard to usurp his own nephew in a way that went far beyond the political norms of the time?#that was the key reason why the usurpation was possible at all#as David Horspool says: RICHARD was the 'overriding factor' of his own usurpation There's no need to minimize or outright deny his agency#as Charles Ross evidently did

So after that 3 hour examination I had Ive now gotta wait until early may to get results and I’m just expected to be chill about it and live my life like normal as if I’m not waiting for potentially the most important news of my life
#obviously I can’t tell what it is but it’s literally like#if the result is positive it’s literally life changing#how am I meant to just go about my day like this!!!! for two fucking weeks!!!!#so far I’ve been coping by being in a sort of art frenzy today

thinking 'bout how the lads interact with what the bracelets represent, especially in their decks
#marwospeaking#Yuuya is by far hardest to work with on this because he Varies. but that might just be him being opposite to Yuzu so it might count?#anyway Yuuya is a bushfire made by fireworks set off without proper precaution (the improperly set off fireworks being Zarc..#.. being influenced into the position that made the lads through his desire to both destroy and entertain his crowds)#It's small sometimes. but in the right conditions is an unstoppable conflagration#Yuuto literally does not die. In a world where we never truly get the other two (Yuugo and Yuuri) interacting with their host (Yuuya)..#.. outside of duels. he very much does. He is undead in a way the others don't quite match (pre Zarc revival) and it's opposite to..#.. En Bird's life (assuming it counts death too as part of its cycle)#Yuugo uses machine monsters - things that distinctly don't breathe. and in most cases have exhaust pipes billowing fumes#and machines can be warm to the touch at times. which you could feasibly slide against Rin's Windwitches for being Very Cold Ladies#Also he's trapped no matter where he is. Neo Domino has a stronger grip on him as a person than anyone else. and when he might finally..#.. escape that. he's trapped in someone else's body with no canonical recourse. because the story ended on Yuuya's terms and no one elses#Yuuri is hardest to place but I think he's very stationary. Sere's monsters are dancers - constantly moving - and she's very able to#adapt as she goes despite how stupid she can be book-wise. Yuuri is rooted into his role. even when he discards his loyalty his role was..#.. always in Zarc's interest no matter if he knew or not. The Professor's loyalty from him is an add-on to that#... I'd argue Zarc cared more about his pieces than Ray cared about hers also? He made cards for them on the fly so they'd Win#Even in moments where that victory is not in a wholly positive light - Odd-Eyes Raging and Gatlinghoul - but we know he's capable of it..#.. a la allowing Yuuya to debut pendulum monsters on his behalf in order to win against Ishijima#something something this can then apply to the other lads. they never lose except to each other and Ray's girls (at least on screen)#Yuuto survived 3 years of war. even despite Yuugo and Yuuri showing up. so methinks Zarc must've had a role in helping him survive#Like. Zarc's distinctly present for his Lads. Ray's not present for her lasses until one of them speaks through her#Sure it's very possible that's a bracelet thing - they are floodgates at the end of the day - and not a Ray thing. but it also wouldn't..#.. surprise me given Ray is an Akaba. we know they will sacrifice others for a gain later on - Ray's was sacrificing a whole world to make.#.. a safer one for everyone to live in. irrelevant on if they remember it or if they never existed originally. Except Leo Akaba. He does#(with memory reading tech) and it tortures him the whole time. she didn't mean to hurt him but Still#Zarc's distinctly not better than Ray - he's still broken wide open when it comes to his hatred of humanity (but not his human half)#and it resulted in multiple near-deaths the second time around - but I can't say Ray's that much better if it turns out the bracelets..#.. weren't floodgating her ability to help her lasses#Completely unrelated but. I don't like what Arcray represents ngl. makes it seem like Zarc could never move on with the help of his lads#and has to rely on someone who killed him and sent him to purgatory about it in order to heal.
