i loveeeeeee loveeeeeeee everything about the album already!! and omg the song selections? can't wait to read more about the beef and drama b/w the girls like as a melanie and emmy stan i personally love it when these girls just unleash their inner bitch lmao. i mean i haven't seen emmy being violent but yk who's to say that she won't? also naira and melanie having beef? like what was the public reaction to it? also a quick question, maybe it's obvious idk but does the public know or even have a slight idea that these girls are like not the best of friends or any beef or drama, more than what the girls let on to the public? oh and i got a melanie photocard!!!!!!!🥺

— 🤍 anon.

naira and melanie's beef was never really mainstream scandalous if that makes sense? like it was just something that happened that only the truly dedicated fans knew about. the actual hot mic clip is lost media now so it's just one of those things people bring up in their complicated theories about who does/doesn't like each other. the public has zero clue really. there's the off-hand comment where someone "jokes" about someone being a bitch with no morals and the fans just laugh? if the fans know, they don't care because it doesn't show in their interviews/group activities.

“The Zenins finally named an heir?”

“Yup, seems like they finally got around to it,” Satoru laughs. “Or maybe their clan head just did it on a whim?”

It’s an amusing thought. The current head of the Zenin Clan is an extraordinarily difficult person to pressure into doing anything –as this sort of thing tends to be, when the person in question is apparently of the opinion that ‘murder’ is an excellent solution to most of her problems. For all that the Gojo elders are constantly grumbling over how the Zenins’ clan head should technically belong to them and not the Zenins, Satoru doesn’t doubt that there are a number of them who are also quietly relieved by not having to deal with someone who has no qualms about killing and isn’t afraid to make her stance obvious. Or act on it, for that matter.

Suguru tilts his head. “The Zenin clan head… oh, I think I remember her. She came around the Tokyo campus once before, didn’t she?”

“Yeah,” Satoru grins at the other boy. “You asked me if she was one of my clansmen, remember?”

Suguru flushes slightly in embarrassment as he snaps, “Well how was I supposed to know? The two of you really do look alike, I can’t be the only one who thinks that!”

“Mhm. You’re definitely not the only one.” Zenin Shiki has what’s considered the ‘classic’ Gojo look, all silvery-white hair and light coloration, instead of the Zenin appearance. Ebony hair and eyes, as dark as the shadows that the Zenins pride themselves in.

That still doesn’t change the fact that she’s a Zenin and not a Gojo, though.

“Sorcery clans tend to intermarry with each other,” is all he offers in explanation to his civilian-born friend. Usually, when there are such unions between well-established bloodlines of equal standing and prestige, there are certain vows in place –such as children being returned to the mother’s clan should they turn out to have inherited signature techniques from the mother’s side of the family.

In the case of Zenin Shiki, however, the Gojo Clan discovered that there was a loophole. She possessed cursed eyes, yes, but they were unprecedented in the long history of the Gojo Clan. Therefore, as the Gojo Clan had not demanded that all children possessing cursed eyes be relinquished to them as part of the vow, it stood to reason that new abilities born of the union would be considered as belonging to the Zenin Clan.

To be fair, cursed eyes were rare, and the only real case that still existed among sorcerers in this day and age was the Six Eyes. Which were rare enough already, and usually only found in the Gojo Clan’s main family.

No one had thought that there would be a Zenin granddaughter of a Gojo-Zenin union resulting in a pair of new cursed eyes.

The Zenin elders had probably been unbearably smug about the whole thing, up until they’d been slaughtered by the girl when she ascended her position over her former clan head’s cooling corpse. After which it had probably been the Gojo elders’ turn to wipe their brows and be thanking their lucky stars over having narrowly dodged a bullet there.

Or not, as the case may be; there were still some old fogeys laboring under the impression that the Zenin Clan had simply ‘raised the child wrong’ and that she would’ve turned out to be so much better had the Zenins admitted their own inadequacies and surrendered custody of the girl to them.

Pfft.

Well, it wasn’t as if any of them could turn back time. What’s done was done, and now they had to live with the consequences of their decisions.

Interesting choice for Zenin Shiki to name Zenin Naoya as her heir, though.

Ordinarily, a new clan head who’d supplanted their predecessor through force would want to establish their own bloodline as the new ruling family, but clearly Zenin Shiki had foregone picking one of her close cousins to be her heir. None of them had been specifically elevated to positions of power, either. She herself also had not chosen to marry into one of the more influential Zenin bloodlines as part of an alliance through marriage.

The only strength I need is my own, was the message that Satoru was seeing here.

… Or perhaps not? After all, the unexpected choice of Naoya as heir was definitely going to give people thoughts. Especially those who’d been very unhappy when Zenin Naobito, the previous head of the Zenin Clan, had been killed by a small slip of a girl. A girl who was distinctly Gojo-looking in appearance, despite her Zenin blood –the Zenins likely still had hang-ups about their clan head being killed by a Gojo, given the… historical precedent behind such a thing.

Hmm.

… Well, whatever game Zenin Shiki was playing here, it didn’t have anything to do with Satoru. And hey, maybe she wasn’t playing any games at all –maybe Zenin Naoya was just the strongest Zenin in the younger generation, and she’d made her decision based on that?

Who knows?

So, the other night I had to cancel my DoorDash shift because I had a migraine.

And I was telling some friends about it, saying that I felt guilty for not going out. It's not like I was totally incapacitated after all, I was just laying on my couch with all the lights off, unable to open my eyes for more than the few seconds it took to read and send messages.

One person said that if that didn't count as incapacitated, nothing did. Someone else pointed out that "I'm lying in bed and can't move because of pain" is generally considered a 9 on pain scales.

And I just.

I've lived with chronic joint pain since before I can remember. (Literally. My mom says that I used to sit and cry and hold my feet when I was a baby.) By the time I was 8 or so, I'd figured out that if I laid down and cried every time I had a flare-up, I'd not be doing much else. (Also people would just get mad at me because I didn't look like there was anything wrong.) Then I started my period and went through all of that again. I just assumed that there would be a few days every month where I'd go to school and spend most of the day with my head on my desk, taking as much tylenol and ibuprofen as I could, a hoodie tied around my waist so tightly I could hardly breath, because that was the only other thing that helped.

And that's been my whole life. I forced myself to go to work at my retail jobs when I limped half the day because my legs hurt. I sat and wrote papers for school when my arms felt like they were being stabbed with hot wire. I piloted myself around my janitorial job scrubbing toilets with hands that could barely grip my tools and ached constantly. Nowadays, I go out and drive around the city for hours even though it feels like my hips and knees are cracking and my elbows are shrieking.

But when doctors ask me what my pain levels are, I say, "Oh, a three or four," because I've gotten to the point where I can get through the pain and keep doing things. Because I don't have a choice. (And all the pain scales I've seen rank your pain level based on how much it prevents you from doing.)

Thing is, that headache I had didn't hurt any worse than the other pain I've dealt with my whole life. The only reason I let it keep me home was because I couldn't see, and being able to see is kind of necessary when your whole job is driving.

Someone telling me that the state I was in ranked that high on the pain scale was staggering. I still don't know what to do with the information, but it's deeply changed how I see the things I've come to accept as normal.

[altschmerzes]

i just. really wish people would realize it's possible to reblog a post about platonic relationships and expressing an appreciation for them or defending their legitimacy and capacity for depth and complexity and intimacy etc without feeling the need to talk in the tags about how much they love romance also or how much they also think 'a secret third thing' is great. like. you don't need to do that. in fact, please DON'T do that.

It was New York, around 1974, and I think it was around the first time they had gotten back together again. I got a knock at the door at the Pierre Hotel where I had taken over a suite for months and months…. About three in the morning there’s a knock on the door and John was there, and he had Paul with him! The two of them had been out on the town for the evening. He said “Can we come in? You won't believe who I've got here,” and I said, “Wow I thought you two had…” and he said, “No no, all that's going to change.” It was great! We just spent the evening talking. It was kinda a strange thing between them, there was a little bit of distance every now and again. But that must've been the first time they were back together since the big bust-ups. They actually asked me if I'd join the two of them and become a trio with them, and we'd change the name to something like David Bowie and The Beatles because they liked the idea of it being DBB. But, you know, the next morning it just never came to anything.
