#this post brought to you by I am sick

I hate being an adult. Who’s supposed to take care of me, ME? I can’t take that kind of responsibility.

Two half-bodies down, six to go! I just caught the worst cold of my life today, so this is a little sloppy and partially rushed (so I might redo it…), but it’s done, and I’m happy with it for now!

I headcanon Sarah as the original vessel for Skully, and Seth as the founding member of totheark, so for these guys’ little bits of background symbolism, I put in Skully in the shadows behind Sarah’s tree as well as a little Skully face carved into the tree, and I put eyeballs carved into Seth tree (because if I remember correctly, eyeball imagery in totheark videos is theorized to be the signature of the founder? I think??)

If I manage to kick this cold by Monday, you can probably expect to see another one of these done then (Brian’s), but if not, then the next day definitely.

not liberal (too traditional) not conservative (too unlikely to demonize those who disagree with me) but a secret and worse third thing (roman catholic)

btw life hack that no one will tell you about: if you need a Krankmeldung in Austria, a PVZ will likely just give you one via call. At least mine does, might depend. You don't even need to live all that close to the PVZ they are supposed to have a large Einzugsgebiet!!

And they might say that while it is possible to write the sicknote without you being there in person, you still gotta come there and pick it up, unfortunately they can't just e-mail it to you.

BUT if you log in with ID Austria on meinesv.at you can just download it there and send it to your HR.

being told you don’t deserve kindness or empathy because you won’t fuck someone is so ridiculous you’d think it wouldn’t hurt to hear, but it does. it really fucking does.

this one time in high school I got really sick, but like, not that sick, because my only symptoms were congestion and a really, really sore throat. but it was getting really close to finals week. and I was a freshman. and my math teacher did not like freshmen.

like, I'm not sure he disliked freshmen more than a lot of teachers probably do. it was probably a normal amount of disliking. and I don't think he graded us worse or anything. but he was vocal about it. he liked to call freshmen "weak butter." no kidding. I guess because he thought freshmen were generally too weak and soft. like he was an army commander or whatever—idk anything about military ranks. I don't think he was ever actually in the military, but he coached the golf team, so I guess that's pretty similar.

he always said stuff like how being sick isn't a real reason not to come to school. old people stuff or whatever. he was one of those "you better be in the hospital" kinda guys. he always said whenever he started feeling bad he would just drink some orange juice and have some mint ice cream.

I tried that once. it didn't work and was also just not a very good flavor combination.

anyways, back to me getting sick.

so my throat hurt really bad. like, super bad. so bad. like you know when you burn your tongue really bad and suddenly you're like wow I never knew bread was so scratchy? like that. on fire.

we generally had a bag of cough drops in the miscellaneous medicine bucket in the broom closet at my house. but there weren't a lot left, so I ate them all. we ran out. so my dad got more, and he brought home one of those giant bags. the ones with like 80 cough drops. like it's not a truly unreasonable size, really, but that's a heck of a lot bigger than the normal-sized ones.

for whatever reason, I decided I was just going to bring around the whole thing instead of just taking some of them with me, so for like three days I had this enormous bag of hall's cherry-flavored cough drops in my backpack. I was eating them constantly. a continuous stream. like a chain smoker.

this is about the time I looked up on the internet if eating too many cough drops can be bad for you. the answer is basically no, unless you're eating them regularly, which just decreases the efficacy (makes sense) or if you ate like a thousand in five seconds, which I'm pretty sure isn't very possible. so I was safe.

but yeah, there I was, ploughing through this giant bag of cough drops like there was no tomorrow and they were the miniature hard candy angels bringing me relief for today. I had cough drop wrappers in my jacket pockets for months afterward. so I'm like "yeah this seems like a concerning amount of cough drops. I could have perhaps stayed home instead of coming to school. that might've been wise. but I powered through, just like [math teacher] says."

so I went up to him and wanted to let him know that I suffered through it as per his advice and he just said "well, of course."

and the sheer disappointment from that reaction has instilled the need to approach every sore throat since then with the same strategy of gorging myself on cough drops, whether I stay home or not. hope you're happy, dude.

Haven't really posted about this but long-time headcanon of mine that what happened to the Kurashikis for them to end up at the hospital was that Akane got sick but pushed through it still going to school and not telling anyone about it because she would see Aoi pushing himself during flu season to keep going to work and learned to do the same through observation, not wanting to bother him or anyone else with something so minor until one too many days without getting treated later she collapses at school and gives everyone a big scare that the teacher needs to send her to the hospital for and realistically in my mind at least there's no way Aoi would be able to get her in or out of there without someone flagging cps unless someone saw this kid come pick up his little sister at odd hours with a story that wasn't matching up and realized that's a prime target for unethical science shit

Unfortunately relatable. I grew up in the church and have a lot of Christian trauma from that. I show up for special occasions for my parents… sometimes. But it’s uncomfortable from the moment I step through the door. Bigoted pastor, the self-righteousness disguising the prejudice, the political comments from the altar. Shots at young people left right and center as if the hell on earth wasn’t caused by the same older generation 90% of the congregation belongs to..

I miss being young in the choir and the youth groups and not struggling with it. It’s wild to look back at the younger version of me who was unshakeable in his faith and honestly just saddening.

I was texting my sister today about it and she said

“I 100% think ALL of us have a ton of religious trauma and everyone else in the family just doesn’t realize it cause they’re still drinking the kool-aid.”

I ran out of tag room and didn’t want to delete any 😭 seriously not lying I could write a book about all my thoughts and experiences

if twitter finally does fully collapse, on the one hand i’ll lose touch with a lot of people I really like, but on the other hand I’ll never have to see my ex-boyfriends stupid fucking face ever again, so maybe it would be worth it

Just tore apart the kitchen looking for my matcha latte mix that was put in a usually out of reach place by my father (the power of petty "where the fuck is my latte mix" knows no physical bounds) and upon realising that I couldn't even make an iced latte because we have no ice either I proceeded to stick my latte in the fridge for half an hour. my cottagecore lifestyle is in shambles. will report back if it chilled it or not
