I love that Dorian was still playing with Orym's hair while everyone else was figuring out what to do after the Archheart talk

theres been a lot of "tcc" themed stimboards in the stim tag lately and i want to make this perfectly clear: if you are in the true crime community i do not want you interacting with me or using my gifs in anything you make.

Hey there! Just wanted to let you know that I'm imagining signs that you've lost interest in me! I wanted to make it clear that it's totally fine! I totally understand my place as a worthless, disposable object! Just wanted to confirm whether you'd like to kill me, or have me vanish quietly from your life so there's no guilt or hard feelings? Let me know!

Hot tip that I just realized I do when I’m in my yearly MRI but some of you might not know to do.

Them fuckers is LOUD. So fucking loud. They will give you a pair of ‘headphones’ that aren’t electric or metal, but connected to the other room through a plastic tube that they can send both music or their voice through to ask you to stop moving or warn you about things.

This means that you will not be raw dogging that evil sound and if a tech ever tries to make you (tho idk if that’s even possible cause the headphones also serve to hold your head into place in the cage) then kick them in the gnads and run away. That can do some SEVERE damage to your ears and hearing!!!!

So what they do is pump music through the headphones, they’ll typically ask you what you wanna listen to. I go for classic because I’m already stressing over holding still lmao, and it’s not exciting but I find it soothing, ask for what you find most soothing.

Here’s the tip: don’t ask for loud music to cover up the machines. You will literally be doing twice the damage to your ears. Ask for the music to play fairly low. Even if you can still hear the machine, which you will, if you focus on that music your brain will try and filter out the machine sounds to the point where you’re doing less damage to your ears, are less likely to come out with a migraine, and also be more relaxed because your brain is taking the effort to focus on the music, and will relax your body as a response.

Also get a knee pillow. Trust me if you’re gonna be in that tube for an hour, you need something under your knees if you don’t want a backache.

sydney and carmy have such a deranged dynamic so it's very funny when people try to put them in a "professional coworkers" box like bffr nothing about their relationship is professional

I have never been more uninterested in anyone's opinion than people who don't like We Are and insist on tagging their negativity. No one cares that you hate joy, Susan. Get out of the tag and let the rest of us have fun.

you ever feel like you need to gentle parent yourself mentally?

"Hey, you're almost there. Just get this over with and then you can go home and do whatever you'd like."

"I know you want to eat pizza, but you need to have *some* healthy meals. Finish off your groceries and then you can order pizza for the weekend <3"

"Yeah...yeah I know it's tough kiddo, but it's gonna be okay. Just take a deep breath."

The Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty has a wonderful show, but with all the characters, it can be hard to get into. Here's a little guide that should get you through the first dozen episodes at least.

Alright, this is my last comment on the issue, for real this time.

@nerdykeppie is staffed by unprofessional, rude, cruel people who double down on their entitlement to be unprofessional, rude and cruel in public to their former customers.

You should know the sorts of people you're giving money to if you patronize them. The founder is liable to misread your words, lash out at you in anger over something he misunderstood, and generally behave like a tantruming child even if you go out of your way to be polite and give him the benefit of the doubt when he lashes out at you over his own poor reading comprehension.

I'm done getting into this. No, Spider is not ~required~ to be professional on his (public) personal blog which is closely tied to his business. I just think it's extremely stupid to double down on his "right" to be unprofessional on his public blog when he owns a business that is clearly tied to said public blog, because it reflects very poorly on both his personal character and his business. I think it is hilariously foolish and an extremely poor decision to openly advertise and defend your founder's unprofessionalism, which speaks of general lack of professionalism and poor judgment throughout the whole business, not just from Spider (though his lack of good judgment and public unprofessionalism is the most obvious).

So. Best of luck in the people involved resolving whatever problem in their lives that they're taking out on me, and beware interacting with them in any way because they will absolutely be rude as shit to you and then smear you in public and private for (/checks hand) apologizing for a miscommunication because you didn't mean what they incorrectly interpreted you to mean.

I can't fucking believe they still think they're in the right here and *I* am the one who needs to be ~asked not to contact them again~. You answered me THREE TIMES *after* I had blocked you because you cannot let go of the fact that you were wrong about a stupid fucking plastic pumpkin and the fact that I went OUT OF MY WAY to give you the benefit of the doubt.

(two of those three asks were frantic apologies because I genuinely felt terrible, and they were both met with meanness and scorn and snide insults about my communication failures.

Lol. Me. I'm the one who is failing to communicate and has poor reading comprehension because you misunderstood me and started lashing out like I personally strangled all of your pets for having the filthy nerve to apologize and try to clear it up.

Yeah. I'm the villain here. Sure, Jan.)

I'm done now, but enjoy having your unprofessional, cruel, immature nonsense publicly exposed. I stand by my actions (the ones I actually took in real life, not the fake pretend ones you made up because you misunderstood what I wrote) and I look forward to you experiencing the natural consequences of your own.

Don't give money to childish jerks.

"Zoro had no friends besides kuina" are johnny and yosaku just chopped liver??? Also any time we see zoro on his own, it's very obvious that he's good at making friends with literally anyone. Y'all don't understand Zoro. You're so desperate to find emo things about him that you make stuff up and completely ignore that he's very emotional and open and expressive in canon all on his own. Y'all just aren't used to seeing someone who regulates their emotions, express emotion.

i got my updated covid vaccine half an hour ago and i feel. not ill exactly but definitely an outsized anxiety response around the likelihood that i will feel ill for the next 48 hours. i am also very nervous that the vaccine will cause a flare of my gi thing (anecdotal data from the subreddit for my gi thing are split on whether it does this). all of which is to say: i am going to be very nice to myself and allow the watching of tv in bed tonight. i've got slow horses s4e1 queued up. what else should i watch

I want to make sure you all understand that i do not encourage self harm, nor do i romanticize it. The reason why i draw the scars on Lucy is that, the trauma does NOT define her and that she's herself despite all of it. She still wants to show her skin like anyone else and i think it's okay. I know i haven't revealed much of my character's personality and story and lore, but she is not perfect and i want to make sure you all understand that. I want you to understand that people with trauma can grow and change and even though the past might manifest in your behavior or your body. You are beautiful and i love you. Please do not hurt yourself.
