lost child

[seashellronan]

so depressing i was shopping and saw a child no older than one and a half clearly not even walking or talking yet in a pram with a phone in front of their face watching cocomelon or whatever the fuck, like your child cannot even comprehend language they do not need to be stimulated like this they should be looking around at the world and learning!!!!! some people are just so terrified that their child might make a noise or ask for something so they plant them in front of a screen to be seen and not heard. do you not realise that a child crying or making noise is them attempting to learn to communicate with you???!! if every time they do that you instantly distract them and overstimulate them you are going to seriously hinder their development like please just don’t have kids if you’re not prepared to actually let them be children this makes me so sad

Kenpachi's Place

On the subject of "what people call each other" more generally, my favorite Bleach topic, Aizen is also kind of weird about Zaraki. He refers to Renji leaving the 5th for the 11th as Renji being "taken away to Kenpachi's place." Was he. Was he kidnapped. Is Kenpachi's Place a trafficking front.

Referring to Zaraki by title is a Choice, for sure. I don't know if anyone else does that (besides Ichigo), but I can think of many who do not, would never.

Referring to the 11th as "Kenpachi's Place" also feels like a Choice. It makes me think about Renji's question to Ichigo when they first meet:

[Bleach 054]

His meaning of is speech bubble is, "Which [number] Division are you affiliated with?" but the pronunciation is just "Where are you affiliated?" So there's already a sense, I guess, that the geographic question of "where" implies your divisional affiliation, and that divisions are thought of as places. Makes sense, given that all the divisions are meaningful geographic spreads in the Seireitei.

Is it still weird that it's "Kenpachi's Place" and not just idk, "the 11th Division"? I mean, I think it is, but it does speak to the unique tradition of leadership succession the 11th's got going on, and how intense the cult of personality is in the 11th, as a division whose nature is extremely tied to the nature of whoever its leader happens to be.

Aizen also never actually refers to the 11th as the 11th, so in order to make that connection we'd have to remember Zaraki's name and number from when he showed up at Byakuya's Place. Why wouldn’t he? Idk but I enjoy it as character info. (NB: Byakuya is perfectly happy to refer to Tousen purely by number, as "9th Captain" and not by any name at all, so there's a lot of different conventions out and about across the various captains.)

yknow I really didn't think it was possible to make me angrier at JK Rowling but then I found out she wrote a book abt an autistic person being sucked into a cult (that's totally not an analogy for trans people what you talking abt) because they just can't possibly know what's good for them, they need their fathers to come and hire private investigators to get them out of a cult. And in the book autistic people are referred to by the r slur and called "a bit simple".

I didn't think it was possible for me to hate this paternalistic, honeyed head-patting, self-righteous, hate-driven HAG of a woman more than I did but fuck me here we are.

thinking of genderfluid merlin married to arthur :(

someone calling for the king asking where he is only to find merlin and immediately correct themself and refer to her as the queen :( thinking of merlin shifting for in the middle of a feast or meeting and people immediately switching from referring to him as the queen to calling him the king :( arthur calling merlin his beautiful wife or handsome husband or beautiful husband or handsome wife bc he’s a sap in love :(

More notes for Roach conlanging. Roach has grammatical gender, in which only Male, Female, and Object are grammatical genders, whereas Worker uses feminine grammar, Queen and King use a slight variant on feminine grammar, and Drone, and Queen-Alate use masculine grammar. This is because King is derived from Queen, due to their similar positions in a colony, and Queen-Alate is derived from Drone, as both are forms of alate.

Queen is an alteration of feminine grammar that functionally just adds a handful of extra syllables to it, and King is an offsprout of Queen that uses the same grammar with different pronouns. Queen-Alate, despite the name, is derived from Drone, as they are both for referring to different types of alate ant.

Most Roach dialects are intelligible to speakers of Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach, but Snakemouth Den Cordyceps Roach is not entirely intelligable to speakers of Roach dialects due to a mix of the excessively specialized vocabulary caused by the specific needs of its speakers, the fact that its speakers do not necessarily have Roach mouthparts and thus may not pronounce syllables in a similar way, and due to the fact that Inanimate Object is a full grammatical gender that does not exist in any other dialect of roach and replaces a decent chunk of terminology for things that previously had Other Words For Them.

mind swears more than anyone else. soul comes close in competition, but they do it within reason, while mind swears so much, so inconveniently, that "fuck" doesn't even sound like a real word anymore

I’ll give you my heart if only you’ll eat.

I am not well about the imagery in the newest chapter. I guarantee I’ll be back with more art in a day or so. @cemeteryguy :))

Just a reminder that you cannot come into a kink community (especially as a minor) and demand people not to "sexualize your posts" while adopting the language of a SEXUAL community. If you don't want someone with sexual intentions to engage with your post, then don't tag it as a kink. Easy.

"Stevie," Eddie says, wincing at the stale air in the room. It's almost pitch black, except for the lamp in the corner that colours everything dark blue, and the glow stars on the ceiling that they'd put up together, making pretend constellations in pretend galaxies.

"Go 'way," Steve mutters, head buried beneath two pillows and hands clasped tight around them, as though that will be the thing that fixes him, that keeps the bad away. Eddie sighs, not at Steve, but at the awfulness of it all. He fiddles with the blister pack in his fingers, and allows the condensation from the water bottle in his other hand to soak his palm.

"Please, baby," Eddie says. "You need to take your meds. The doctor said - "

"Fuck the doctor," Steve curses angrily, muffled.

"Maybe later, once you've taken your meds," Eddie says calmly, or aiming for calm. He hates seeing Steve hurting, and Steve hurts a lot. More than he'd like. More than he knows he realises.

Steve emerges from his pillow prison slowly, blinking like it hurts him to do so, and Eddie knows it does, so he just holds out the water bottle, cap off, and Steve drinks greedily, throat working hard, whilst Eddie pops out two pills. Steve makes a pitiful noise as Eddie hands them over, but reluctantly takes them, screwing up his eyes against the taste before swallowing down more water.

"You did so good," Eddie says. Steve shakes his head then moans. "It's okay," Eddie says. "Back under the pillows now. The pills will work soon."

"I hate this," Steve says. "I hate that you have to see this."

"I know you do. I hate seeing it. But only because it's my favourite person in the whole world suffering. Not for any other reason. Please don't think it's for any other reason," Eddie says softly. Steve makes a small noise, already piling the pillows back over his face. Eddie reaches out and strokes the back of his hand.

Steve's hands clench, then unclench, before relaxing.

"I'll be around, if you need me," Eddie says, before standing. He pauses at the door. He looks at Steve's prone form, the invisible war in his head. "It's not rotten work, you know? Never, actually."

He pulls the door to, but doesn't close it entirely, just to make sure he can hear Steve if he needs to. He never, ever wants Steve to think he's a burden. Not when he loves that boy more than breathing. Not if it's you, not if it's me.

not if it’s us

that anon was so unnecessary. a year ago you were posting about running and adventure and now you can't even walk to get groceries. why is anyone trying to discredit your problems just because other people also have problems? wtf? illness isn't a competition, that anon was so out of line and hypocritical.

honestly im just too tired to deal with anons nonsense. if a friend actually has an issue with me they need to confront me with their name attached. if anon is not a friend then i literally do not have the energy to care.

also yeah i miss running like i miss air. i did thirty minutes of light (extremely light!) cardio today in the form of dance and even that set me back all afternoon :( but its better than last week where i couldnt even do cardio for longer than three minutes - i could only move in dance ish motions and try not to lose balance and tip over.

chronic illness is hard to talk about. its legitimately scary and most people who are healthy don't want to deal with it. im talking about it on my invisible little blog on the internet just to...have some place to put my own emotions about it. i invite anyone else to do the same. on their own blog.
