There is a finite list of hormones with finite functions and they're really not that hard to understand. Just fucking study up on what they do if you're going to give advice on them
This is exactly like the people who talk about lemons "having a pH of 24" and how every illness is caused by "acidic blood". Grifters just keep on making new goalposts for being "healthy" and a lot of people just uncritically swallow the lies
"Vibes based" medicine literally kills people. It's why healthcare before the 1940s-ish was full of insanity like using mercury as a health tonic or treating migraines by drilling holes in people's skulls. It's why "folk remedies" are often complicated placebos
We're not medieval peasants. Our medicine shouldn't look like how theirs did. We shouldn't be allowing charlatans to con us with things that are trivial to disprove
Join me on my journey to finally unbalance my hormones, toxify my body, boost my inflammation, maximize my cortisol and absolutely destroy my gut health.

October 30th will forever be remembered by the LGBTQ+ Goth Greek Mythology Drama Nerds as the best High we've had since 1993. We had AAA alongside the Vengeance Saga, and none of us held a Seance in the name of Medea or Circe? For shame. This Coven is in Shambles.
#im disappointed#in all of you#but im also geeking out too much to be too disappointed in you guys#so you get a pass#epic the musical#agatha all along#epic the vengeance saga#circe#medea#we did not go through 5 Shakespearean tragedies just to be stopped by nobody lighting a candle in the name of Circe or Agatha#we're better than this

Hello! It's the new year! So I've come to remind some people:
[ID: text from the code of FHR under the Ortega_gender = "man" option that reads,
"Alas, my friend, the cavalry is us." Ortega doesn't wear a mask. His bronze skin is tanned a deep brown by the unforgiving Los Diablos sun, and unruly black hair sticks to his sweaty forehead.
Text cleaned up of coding for legibility. End ID.]
ORTEGA IS BROWN
Thank you all and have a happy New Year!

Well like Katie’s immediate reaction to your reblogs screenshot was that you could have two emails, how would she think of that if she wasn’t you on another email?
Also she could be how you can send asks to yourself without having to go on anon at tam cam
Also! She insists she knows things and you’re super vague—same sort of reaction
Also you’re SUSPICIOUSLY in touch with her au
ok, first of all, I love Katie and I would die for her, so jot that down
second: OF COURSE I'M IN TOUCH WITH HER AU IT'S MY LIFE SOURCE AT THE MOMMENT
third: the rest of these are implying that I am tam cam, which is a wholeeeee separate argument
and fourth: if you need proof we're not the same person I can send you screenshots of old conversations that wouldn't make sense happening if we were the same person

Really love the type of internet discourse post that's vague and passive aggressive about the other side of a debate that seems to pretend that people on the internet aren't generally just annoying and rude.

The transphobia has been included with the "Conservative LU Server" issue that's been going on, as the server has had homophobia, transphobia, racism and sexism all balled up into one bigoted ass server essentially. but yeah, genderbent is. a really really transphobic term, so id say maybe go for "masculine" reader or "amab" reader rather than "genderbent". Cuz ya know, there may be femme readers you have that have amab bodies, or masc readers that have afab bodies. Making sure to be inclusive is so greatly appreciated by us trans folk, and i certainly appreciate the work youve tried to put forth, and seeing your response really eased the anxiety i had in sending that ask XD i didnt tag it with my emoji cuz i was just. Afraid i guess? That server has had a lot of us really really frightened to speak out to creators we like to make sure they're still safe. So thank you for being so kind and understanding, really. Its been very scary in the fandom this past week. -Bunny anon (im on my computer so i dont have my emoji XD)
THATS A THING? omg I'm so sorry to the communities that that effected.
I really like the idea of Masculine reader too!
As for the anxiety, please trust me when I say that I absolutely wanna be called out if I do something disrespectful or harmful. I always aim to be a safe space to you all and I hope you feel that way when you come here to chat with me. I love you all and am so proud of you and it may not mean much coming from a random internet-based stranger, but I hope it means something :)
I'm not here to be scary, I'm here to be your friend. 😊
So thank you 🐇 anon for filling me in.
#cinder rambles#wtf has been going on in the lu fandom#besties#we're better than this#cmon#please feel safe here#thats all im here for <3

Shout out to his tf2 theory where he says that pyro is either a woman or a gay man because woman's pointer and ring finger are the same length (and also gay men's are too, because they are feminine)
okay. and i won't say this often. if at all. but in defense of matpat. there are things that people attack/make fun of him for that are older than his audience. the pyro video is 10 years old. is it stupid? yeah. but like. the chances he still holds those same views are slim to none. there are way more recent and valid things to make fun of him over, such as literally every fnaf theory he's released in the past few months, so we really don't have to keep resorting to this stuff to make fun of him for
#muse talk#anon#make fun of him for the dsmp theory that was literally debunked with a single wiki check#not something that's 10 years old. cmon now guys#we're better than this#our arguments hold up better than this

Not to uh put a damper on it, but maybe we can focus on that happening when penises AREN'T massively responsible for sexual and reproductive trauma against people without penises first. Maybe we can work on fixing the violence, instead of telling people their reaction TO the violence is a crime first? Just, priorities.
Trans women will never be free until people stop having strong emotions about penises. Like we, as a society, have got to stop caring about dicks! Dicks have to stop symbolizing maleness, obviously, but they also have to stop symbolizing power, dominance, sexual agency and aggression, violence, and even sex itself. Like trans women can’t be free if the very conceptual presence of a penis represents an intrusion(!) of unwanted(!) sexuality(!) in public life. Like that’s why trans women are abhorrent to both male chauvinists and radical feminists, because both groups have extremely strong feelings about what a penis *represents*, and find the conceptual and actual presence of a woman with a penis to be simultaneously vile and nonsensical because they’ve loaded so much symbolic baggage onto both women and penises.
Anyway dicks are totally neutral body parts and seeing a dick, or a bulge in a swimsuit, or simply knowing that there’s a dick somewhere in the same bathroom as you isn’t harmful or violent
#can't believe I'm seeing an uncritical version of this on my dashboard in the year 2024 c'mon guys#we're better than this

This is kinda shit advice when there’s a current trend of harmful disinformation floating around where if it doesn’t get corrected a lot of people end up getting hurt. Climate change, politics (regardless of country), Covid, trans rights, take your pick.
If I see some people trying to spread misinformation that hurts others, I’m not gonna think about the tiger and the donkey I’m gonna think about the people that this conspiracy nut is gonna end up hurting.
Lastly, the conclusion is that the ruler (portrayed as correct and wise and just) not only lets the misinformation continue to run rampant, but outright *silences* the people trying to correct it? Well that sounds like a fantastically bad idea.
When ignorance screams, intelligence moves on.

'don't be rude!' i wasn't planning on it but ok i guess?#and people getting mad because they assumed i meant something completely different than what i said.#how many times have i asked 'hey when are we leaving' (so i know when we're leaving. god forbid)#only for them to hear 'WAAA WAAAAAAA HURRY UP!!!!!!! I WANNA LEAVE RIGHT NOWWWWW UGGHHHHHH'#like ???????????#we're speaking the same language right???

illario as the grandchild that is most like caterina is something i'm loving to chew on. the grandson that took her lessons to heart the most. kill anyone who sees your face and knows your name, "we are not revolutionaries", the first out of the two to prioritise the contract. power at any cost, and the only one to lean into the unnecessary abuse that their grandmother told them was tradition. why is anyone surprised he allied with the venatori? and then there's illario's considerable skill in infiltration and manipulating any mark, he has always had the charisma that lucanis lacked. illario isn't attached, he has/can/will use someone and immediately drop them; "that does free me from promises i don't intend to keep". he can lie about how much he cares so well that he fools a magister into believing he loves her. he kills zara without hesitation to cover his own tracks, meanwhile lucanis blindly promises a young girl in the middle of a siege that he will help her find her father. even the lessons about family stick with him, and in this entire messy power struggle, he never actually orders anyone to directly kill caterina or lucanis, not until he's backed into a corner.
and even after all that. despite even lucanis believing illario should be first talon, lucanis is still the better killer. illario is not strong enough to be the brutal assassin caterina needs him to be. so when lucanis seems to fill the role his mother left, grief and love for her dead heir apparent remains, and any of the other qualities caterina needs in her next talon doesn't matter. whatever his mother was, lucanis has to be. what illario does doesn't matter, because he will always be second best to caterina's memory of her favored daughter.
#<- guy who's only seen succession: this is just like shiv and logan#last point is kind of meta and hcish. idk how much caterina cared about her children and lucanis' mother. grain of salt everyone#but it would make sense to me. woman projecting her grief so hard it fucks up the next generation#at the end of the day realistically the best person to lead this criminal organisation is the sweet talker with no morals#who can rally their assassins and negotiate his way out of anything#not lucanis 'this crow has a heart' dellamorte. who i think would also be a fairer leader but#well. his leadership style would take a decidedly different turn. is that something he can afford as first talon??? like you know.#THE ASSASSIN GUILD? WITH THE VERY BLEAK HISTORY? 'WE'RE NOT HEROES ANYWHERE COUSIN' ?????#LED BY LUCANIS 'would rather endanger the mission than kill innocents' DELLAMORTE !!!!?#i would be less weird about it if the game acknowledged he's a 'kind' crow more explicitly and like#how this would change the crows. but realistically. and biasedly. i think illario makes a better (more morally grey too) talon#and also zevran should be here#anyways. im normal.#illario dellamorte#caterina dellamorte#lucanis dellamorte#dragon age#veilguard spoilers#dav spoilers#dav#edit: NOTE I AM SAYING ILLARIO MAKES. A BETTER TALON AND NOT A GOOD ONE#his number one dickriding glazer but i would not go that far. sorry babe.
