#boink #oh instagram reels #btw in this video she had a “glow up”#which was basically having aged a little #like regular young adulthood early 20s type you're not gonna look the same as time goes on #like she got bangs and new glasses #i didnt even notice the first two times the video looped #like what #like cool!#yeah!#having a partner who loves and supports you will probably make you look happier! since you feel happier! ok!#also everyone looks different after a year when they're like twenty one!#what!#that's not the boyfriend effect that's just! being human! what the fuck!#also--- divine femininity??????#oh brother #for pete's sake #if you will #look for the most part i think that in general the women and girls and ppl that go with this kind of thing #the divine femininity and girl math and girl pretty and boy pretty etc etc etc #like i hate this kind of stuff but im not about to say that theyre at fault for it #like this is not helping anyone #and it just #god #it makes me upset!#maybe im overreacting but also i kind of think that we're collectively underreacting about this #like i dont wanna see it all over tiktok /let alone/ from my actual real life friends!#earlier this year my friends (women! women friends! staunchly feminist friends!) were joking unironically about girl math #like do we not see how that's harmful. when we talk about poor financial decisions and completely seriously call it girl math.#how do we not see a problem here

i’ve been thinking about the pokémon memes where it’s like playing off of that one quote that’s like ‘truly strong trainers should try to win using their favorites’ and it’s like ‘ok well my favorite is [something blatantly overpowered]’ and it’s got me curious. how many people genuinely love pokémon that also happen to be really strong competitively?

so if you will. pick a favorite pokémon (for any reason! whether it’s cuteness or strength or nostalgia etc. no judgment) then go here https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/ and look it up

(you’ll see something that looks like this. see where it says tier and has some gibberish afterwards? don’t worry if you don’t know what that means but tell me what the letters/words are)

also if there are multiple forms and the distinction matters to you make sure you get the right one lol cuz the tiering can be different

edit: forgot to mention i mean specifically in SV! which is what comes up by default. rip every pokémon that either isn’t in SV (it’ll say ‘national dex’) or used to be better but has since fallen off relative to new pokémon

#pokémon #pokemon #pokeposting #if you want to know what those terms mean #AG stands for anything goes. very few pokémon have ever been in here #the absolute elite. too powerful too broken #Ubers is below that it’s like the normal ban zone where most overpowered pokémon go #OU stands for overused it’s like the ‘standard’ top tier #below that is UU (underused) then RU (rarely used) then ZU (zero used) then PU (this is a pun. pee-yew. because they stink)#LC is little cup which is basically Baby Fight™️ and NFE is not fully evolved so like babies and teenagers basically #and anything with BL (ban list) at the end is like a weird in between state #where they’re too powerful for the tier they were supposed to be in but not good enough for anyone in the tier above them to want to use em #if you’re thinking these are insane ridiculous terms then i agree #slight edit i think i initially got the order of ZU and PU mixed up. so many tiers with negative mean names…#i fixed it in the poll though #that is to say PU is above ZU #and if you’re curious how tiers work. the tier a pokémon is ‘in’ refers to the lowest it can possibly go #but you can use it in any of the higher tiers if you want to (it’s just more likely to get stomped on)#so like if a pokémon is OU that means you can’t use it in UU or RU or NU etc etc #but you can use it in Ubers if you want in addition to OU #most people i believe play in OU bc there’s arguably the greatest game balance #you’re allowed to use powerful pokémon but it isn’t as run wild go crazy no rules as Ubers #i mean even Ubers has rules but. fewer of em #AG has only one rule and that’s ‘you can’t force a standstill endless battle’ lol. otherwise it’s the wild west #OU is popular bc it’s a fine mix of rules that keep the game fair fun and competitive #and pokémon that are powerful and fun to use in battle #but if you have a different style you might like playing in a lower tier where everybody is super weak #*syndrome voice* but if everyone is weak then no one is…#it’s all about scale it’s all relative #edit: KNEW i was forgetting some nuance. some pokémon are stuck in the past aka not available in SV so they’ll say ‘national dex’ oops

I love your art soooo much-it gives me life!! 🥰🥰🥰

I have a question about Milek and Jaskier! Milek says they fought before Jask went missing-what did they fight about? Did Milek say something he shouldn’t have? 👀😢 is there ANGST?

Also does Geralt know Mileks plush friend is called Roach? Because surely that’s a clue that Milek is his…(I love this universe so much)!!🥹❤️❤️❤️

[MASTERPOST] That was the last conversation they had before Milek stormed out - and when he came back, Jaskier was. gone. The thing is, Jaskier knows what Milek is interested in (and he is not even wrong about that, Milek has an interest in medicine, and helping people, and I think when they met he was Shanis biggest fan) and I think Jaskier is aware that some of the conflict does have its roots in Milek not wanting to leave him, even if they get really heated and ugly in their arguments. Milek shouldn't feel like he has to care for him, or have to protect him and at times I think Jaskier feels quite ashamed, which leads him to being way too unrelenting at times - especially if he thinks he's doing something to protect Milek.

#jaskier #the witcher #geraskier lovechild #artists on tumblr #omegaverse #I think if they argue Milek is saying stuff he shouldn't all the time #I think for Milek the part that makes him feel really bad is that he KNOWS that Jaskier would always choose having him again and again #because he KNOWS that he loves him more than anything else #but he still implied that he doesn't know - and he knows what he said was cruel #but he also !! is so angry #because Jaskier always treats him like he knows what's best for him and. let it be true - it still makes him FURIOUS #he isn't a little kid anymore #and he wants to HELP he loves his father and he knows that Jaskier gives and gives and gives especially when it comes to him #he doesn't need a fancy education in an academy where he'll be just the bastard kid again #he just needs a Pa who doesn't absolutely run himself to the ground #and I think he finally wants to meet Geralt too #also I'm trying to do a thing here which I think shows how secure their relationship truly is #because Geralt sees Milek as a quite sensible (if sometimes a bit hotheaded) young man - who is quite mature for his age #which he CAN be #but Geralt is also basically a stranger even if Milek knows he's his dad - and he tries to impress him naturally - ofc he wants to be liked #with Jaskier? who has his one true emotionally secure relationship with?#moody teenanger - but also allowing himself to be childish at times - crying shouting teasing - exploding sometimes #because he never ever had to question their relationship once #he can just let loose

Immortality

(a ficlet written for Dannymay 2024 prompt 6: Immortal AU: What if Danny/Halfas couldn’t die?) Also on AO3.

---

He actually didn’t know whether halfas were immortal or just lived longer than humans.

Now at around age 140, give or take a few years (what year was it now? he could calculate it), Danny was an old man in his human form—wrinkled skin hanging from his arms and face like unironed fabric; hunched over to half his original height, bones grated down as though left exposed outside over the past decades; eyes milked over; ears inadequate despite their larger size; mind fogged.

He had no one to look to. A few years ago, or maybe a decade or two ago, he’d searched the Zone for any sign or rumor of the existence of other halfas. He wasn’t sure how long he’d searched, talking to distant ghosts, visiting places he never could have imagined existed, the Ghost Zone stretching on and on, toward infinity, before he’d given it up as a lost cause.

Vlad (though only a few years older than Danny and thus wouldn’t have been of much help anyhow) never returns to his human form. Had stopped living as a human altogether once he’d realized he was ‘growing old’.

Of course, this had been before Vlad was anywhere near an old man. Back when he’d only been about 60 years old. A few wrinkles and thinning hair, and his vanity and pride had had him abandoning his human half completely.

Not to the extreme of extracting that part of himself, of course—he had known better by that age—but of denying its existence; living solely as a ghost.

Danny had grown fond of humanity, however. The light touch of gravity, an embrace that kept him tethered to reality; the life found everywhere he looked, in the grass at his feet, in the air around him, or even just walking by him—so unlike the void of the Ghost Zone, the vast empty space with small pockets of ecto-life scattered across its depths; even the ache in his bones, the proof that he was alive, still belonging to this planet. It was all fondness.

Even as his senses continued to fade—the details of leaves and faces blurring even with thick glasses, the chittering of birds growing silent even with hearing aids, the difficulty of holding objects (connecting with the world around him) with pain and trembling hands—he clung ever more to the human world and its small wonders.

And though all his human friends from over a hundred years ago might be lost, he wasn’t alone.

They were still here.

Alive and well, living echoes seen in their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, and teenaged great-great-great-grandchildren. A town composed of familiar faces. And sometimes those echoes were so strong, he called someone by the wrong name.

Matilda wears a black shirt one day and, even with the pink floral patterns, Sam is so strong within her.

Derek tries out for football, and the way his smile pulls across his face is all Dash, even through the freckles and shaggy brown hair.

Nicky’s righteous glare is Valerie shining straight from his heart. Although the light in his eyes as he talks about psychology is all Jazz.

Danny was trying. Trying so hard to stay with them all, as they continued to live, fully alive, forever onward.

He didn’t know whether halfas were immortal.

#dannymay2024 #danny phantom #danny fenton #It's not clear but I was imagining their ghost forms as still looking young. Probably an important age for them or how they prefer to look.#Though I think it's ambiguous enough to interpret it as their ghost form looking the age of their human form the last time they were in it.#Either way there's a little amusing thought of Vlad being younger than Danny now. Vlad doesn't age in his ghost form #and even if Danny's still 14 as a ghost he'll have more life experience and that would show up in his thinking and mannerisms.#Vlad's basically halted his aging as long as he remains in his ghost form.#...Which might be a form of immortality; or a form of death. It's a mix of both.#(Danny doesn't feel his age as a ghost in any case. Even if he looks 139 he won't have any of the limitations of his human body.)#asj writing #asj post

So apparently I never posted him, but here's my Pitty npc because I think my pirate would be far more attached to her Bear Family in Grizzleheim than her birth parents :) (His name is Dain Ironside)

#w101 #p101 #wizard101 #p101 oc #w101 oc #silent ryan ironside #dain ironside #oc #pirate101 #Ryan's birth name is Ryan Collins but when she was raised by Dain since she was about 5 she decided to take on his last name instead #her parents were close with the traders in Grizzleheim and when the mutiny happened the crew cut out Ryan's tongue and set her adrift #she was pickdd up by a Grizzleheim ship and was real stand-offish but just gravitated to Dain once she was brought #back to the clan. he'd known her parents and took her in so he's basically the only Dad she really remembers #she's his little cub #She gets caught while doing trading with the Grizzleheim bears when they steer into Armada territory by accident. ehen she tried to defend #the ship she was taken (about age 13-14) and the story starts from there #she mostly just wants to get back home to Dain and her clan but having a crew is slowly but surely alienating her from her own home #anyways #Dain used to be a great warrior and raised 3 proud sons who all died glorious deaths in battle. now he mostly carves runes and teaches new #cubs to forge and fight. Ryan was a weird one (too small for his normal lessons but eager to grab an axe too heavy fof her anyways) but he #taught her well. which is why she fights like a Bucaneer in Swashbuckler's clothes until Sarah Steele teaches her otherwise.#Dain is also her inspo for her ship's flag. a bear symbol w/ his clan colors isn't *subtle* but it marks her as a friend of Grizzleheim #she hopes to send word back to him that she's alive #or hear that he's alive #planning on Griffin's dog dad from Marleybone next but we'll see

#my poetry #Horuspoetry #This one’s never gonna get professionally published so here it is #I usually hate writing lowercase poetry but I thought the unfinished look it gives #poems worked with the subject matter #I also wanted to work in a space detailing the experience of growing up neurodivergent #where you are functionally gendered as a failure #A lot of the details (the burying or the hands-to-eyes) are based on my own life. As is like. The general feeling. Which was basically my #standard from ages 3-9. the description of things outside is based on the memories I have of my old backyard when I was really little #And of the park I used to go to #I have a lot of memories of thinking of myself as basically already dead but also not really *understanding* the difference between being #dead and alive?#Idk. I think the perspective I am writing from is that of the child #but also in some ways I’ve noticed the way I behave towards my memories of my past self resembles the ableist way adults treated me when I #was a kid #As if somehow #There was something just… wrong with me and me only and so I deserved it #So this was also an attempt to show compassion to that child and break from that belief. To say ‘this was fucked up’#And that I don’t believe that there was something wrong with me after all and even if there HAD been I wouldn’t have deserved that treatmen #No one does

#probably the nerdiest thing i will ever read in my entire life but I AM SO HAPPY #Its the unabridged and corrected 1992 republication btw. if you wanna get specific #the only book in which i have actually decided to read the introductory notes and i do NOT regret it because the editor's one IMMEDIATELY #brought up the “oh but surely the second dimension has thickness how else would flatlanders see anything” AND GAVE A REALLY GOOD ANSWER.#which i cannot tell you here. bc it is several paragraphs long and idk how i would shorten it. i would hit tag limit. if thats a thing.#anyways. I'm only a little bit into the first part which basically explains how Flatland works as a society so i haven't even gotten to the #sphere yet but OH MAN I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO EXCITED ABOUT A ROUND OBJECT IN MY LIFE #IM LOSING IT OVER THIS BOOK AAAA :D #me: im so glad i dont have a math class during my senior year! now i dont have to learn anything math-related!#also me: but what if i started studying a complex and almost entirely theoretical part of geometry #bc YEAH i didn't just buy this book bc of gravity falls. I BOUGHT IT BC IVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE 4TH DIMENSION WOOOOOOO!!!!!#one thing i will say i dont like. introductory note suggests the the 4th dimension might be time. this is ok tho bc its followed up with #also saying that time is not a spatial dimension and exist across the 0 1st 2nd and 3rd dimensions which. that epuld mean we live in 4d #already. so. i was worried for a second but THANK YOU THANK YOU OH MY GOD PEOPLE TRYING TO SAY “OH THE 4TH DIMENSION IS TIME” I HATE THAT SO #MUCH AAAAGGHHHH AT LEAST RECOGNIZE ITS NOT SPATIAL!!! TIME IS NOT A SPATIAL DIMENSION!!!!!!! IF IT WAS THEN 4D TRAVEL AND TIME TRAVEL WPULD #BE FHE SAME THING AND DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY MUCH COOLER POSSIBILITIES WPULD BE THROWN AWAY IF THAT WAS THAT CASE!!!!! AND. AND. IF THE 4TH #DIMENSION IS TIME. THEN WHATS THE 5TH?? 6TH?? YPU CANT KEEP GOINF ON FOREVER LIKE THAT. YPURE JUST MAKEING MORE 3D WORLSS WITH STUFF IN #ADDITION TO TIME. INTERESTING BUT THAY IS NOT ABOHT HIGHRER DIEMSBSJSNSBAKAJSHDHDHHDHDHDJ #sorry for the rant. jsut. agh i want a spatial 4th dimension. i dont think tesseracts exist through time that would just be an aged cube #anyways yeahhh i love the 4th dimension. new hyperfixation or new special interest? ill have to wait and see. anyways i have done it i have #an oc whos 4 dimensional now and she is the coolest ever i love her #but yeah this book is sosososo good i am literally gonna bring it to school to read instead of draw bc i would lose it if i didn't #10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to Think

The fight is going well because I got the killing blow on both the high level enemies but their little minions have knocked two of my party members unconscious and one of them has failed two death saves and the other has failed one and I think this might actually be my character's worst nightmare.

#i'm not within range to get either of them up on my next turn either so they might actually die #like one of them she is kind of iffy about #she likes him just fine but he's kind of annoying and they're from the same country and he abandoned his post #but she doesn't want him to DIE #but the OTHER one is her absolute best friend and she loves him (as a friend)#and she was busy killing one of the bad guys while he was getting knocked unconscious #and the third who is still up but not doing well hp-wise #is the same age as her little sister and she promised the party member who left WAY back in the day #that she would keep an eye on him and keep him alive #so yeah she (me) is fucking panicking #i can cast guiding bolt and get one of the enemies probably #and i go before either of them #but i'm basically going to have to pick which one of them i'm okay with dying #sooooooooooooooooo #erin plays d&d

I am once more begging games to make age ranges more obvious

#still about DAV but I'm sitting here desperately trying to parse the relationship between Viago and Rook #and in turn Rook's age vs Lucanis'#Lucanis' design points state early 30s which good thank you #but people are saying Viago is around his parents' age but won't supply when that applies #is it in terms to the short story he appears in? was he their age then or are we talking about now in game?#some people say Lucanis sent a fancy dagger to Viago as a threat and others claim it was flirting #Viago sure doesn't look like he's around 50 that's for sure #but is that just games never having old people models under 70 or is he just Younger #I'd believe he was late 30s early 40s like feels a little bit of a stretch but he's clearly an important Talon since he takes control #he makes most of the Crow decisions alongside Teia so like being young AF there doesn't super track #but also the Crows have taken heavy losses thanks to the Antaam bashing down the door (supposedly)#might just be a younger Talon taking charge because Treviso is his House's main terf idk #I wish I knew more about him and House de Riva #also wtf do you mean Rook is a recently promoted Crow to full membership as their Origin story #and then we watch a fucking like 14 year old kid get full membership at the end of the Crow story #gonna chew through glass over that one #I'm choosing to ignore that detail for my Rook btw she's just a typical grunt until DAV changes that #Viago basically keeps smacking her down for being reckless is what I'm saying #if I make her like 30 and Viago 40 that's a 10 year gap and that puts them at sibling relationship more than parental

why is everything (showing other people respect. being patient and kind. not flying off the handle about stupid things. emotional regulation and self-control. et cetera.) so easy when I'm not around my parents and so so so so hard when I AM around them?

#this is a genuine question btw I need advice bc I'm STRUGGLING. idk why everything makes me frustrated and angry #when I'm around my parents and it's SO hard to be kind and respectful to them and my sister #but so easy literally everywhere else #I hate that I'm like this I wish I could genuinely be a nice person but apparently the person #I REALLY am is the horrible selfish lazy brat I am with my parents.#even though it feels 100% easier otherwise APPARENTLY the real me is the one I revert to at home #but being nice away from home comes so naturally?? so is THAT the real me??? idk what to do I'm so frustrated right now #Lu rambles #can my mutuals please weigh in bc I feel like a terrible horrible emotionally illiterate person rn #bc of a conversation in which I fought with my mom over the fact that I have a hard time respecting my middle school aged sister #bc I don't want her (bold. confident. sometimes a little bit of a brat as well bc humanity) thinking she can walk all over me #the way she acts always makes me feel like she thinks she's better than me but maybe it's just my mindset. bc I KNOW #that my middle schooler sister IS better than me in most ways and I HATE that. how can someone #so much younger than me be better than me at basically everything she sets her mind to?#and how can I ever have confidence in myself when I know that's the case??? it's so frustrating!!#ugghdnfnsngsmkgnskfnskd I need advice and prayers. and probably to go to bed early tonight.

lupita making fan videos of her cat to glass animals 🥹🥹🥹 the strides this woman is making in sexy cat lady representation. gone are the days when getting a cat after a breakup over the age of 40 was seen as tragic and life ending

#jrnlsht #i have been hyper aware of my age this weekend #just a lot of little reminders that guys my own age or even five years older see me as totally lacking in desirability #like im totally invisible at this point except to old men #not that I was desirable in my youth either but i was aware that i was young and that made me valuable as a romantic partner in some way #it feels as if now im forced into an asexual role where looking *hot* is basically impossible ever again #which is fine bc my career is in such jeopardy that i shouldn't be paying any attention at all to my sx life but #that part of me that is so desperate to be wanted also feels worse than ever #which just seems backward #why the fuck couldn't that feeling go away along with my youth instead of getting stronger -_-#i was complaining about this to ethan and telling him about some of the things i had happen here in LA #and his advice was basically just give up 🙃 accept the old lady lifestyle #and then he teased me mercilessly about my crush on geno and how creepy im being with my hat and my sculpture 😭#and i was like fantasy is all i fucking got dont take that away from me #i cant even have the companionship of a cat. pls my life is so sad

I think if you are the sort of person with Big Feelings when it comes to a certain piece of media (or just in general) you may have a tendency to read every post someone makes - and even posts they simply reblog - and assume they also have Big Feelings about it. Assume they have some sort of... dark agenda, are attempting to stir up drama, however you wanna frame it. The truth is, a lot of the time, people post things with very little feeling, and sometimes without much thought.

#see: my post from earlier that seemed to make at least one person experience some Big Feelings #and also seemed to make at least one person jump to ALL SORTS of conclusions. all of which were pretty wild and off the mark.#like 1-6 people were really in my askbox talking about bj when he wasnt even the main thing i was talking about. red rag to a bull i guess #anyway once i post this I'll be back to the regularly programmed not having the time for this #also due to a fun new tumblr mobile glitch #where i cant seem to edit any og posts i make once i post em #i guess this will just be up and i wont be able to amend it. so i better stick with it huh.#basically just assume everything i post on here is posted with Little Feelings because this is a mash blog and i am 31 years of age.#ok now i need to tag this extensively so it shows up in every conceivable m/ash tag one sec...#(queuing this so I'll be asleep when it drops lmao)

i just read the curious incident of the dog in the night-time and hopped on here to see what the general consensus was about it and oh dear i was not expecting to see so many people hating it

#plant rant #i liked it a lot! made me cry in parts which is pretty rare #read it basically all in one sitting too which is the first time i've done that in a while (i know it's probably technically a kids' book)#it was written in the 90s which... shows. and apparently the author didn't do any research which is weird because it rang very true for me #like obviously i'm not any kind of genius and my maths is average at best now but so many of the little pieces of it really spoke to me #like particularly how i was at that age #idk. it just surprises me that a lot of people seem to have reacted to it pretty badly #tbh i assumed it was written by an autistic person because of how much it reminded me of my own reflective prose #i guess people are always going to have different opinions on things....#anyway public opinion poll. have you guys read it? did you like it? tell me!!

Has anyone gotten into trouble for playing pranks on the older bots like Ironhide or Kup?

Illusion- The big kids are always so mean! They pranked my cre-a-tors, it wasnt very nice!

Sunstreaker- In my defense, Illy, your creators are super easy to prank.

Illusion- They are not! Stop being mean to them!

Sunstreaker- It's not like we target them specifically. We prank several of the other older bots.

Illusion- >:[

Sunstreaker- Please don't cry, if i make you cry, Ultra Magnus will put me in the brig again!

Illusion- I wont scream if you tell evyone on the blog all the bots youve pranked.

Sunstreaker- All of them? It's a very long list. Should i start from back on cybertron, or just since we got to earth, or just this month?

Illusion- The long-est.

Sunstreaker- Illy! sweety!! Illusion!!! That would literally take days!

Illusion- *taking a deep breath to scream*

Sunstreaker- Stop stop! How about the ones i remember right this moment?

Illusion- ...

Sunstreaker- Please, and then I'll carry you to Rung's office so you can get some sweets!

Illusion- Deal.

Sunstreaker- Awesome! So... In no particular order. Mirage and Hound, i got them both a few days ago with a glitter bomb. I wasn't caught. Prowl has his suspicions though.

Theres Windblade, I hid her swords, Arcee said she'd tell on me if i didn't put them back, so I did. Chromia, Sides and i got her before we left on our mission! We put mercury in her energon, she thought the energon had gone bad somehow.

Illusion- But mercury is so tasty though!

Sunstreaker- Not when its mixed with energon, though. It has a small chemical reaction, makes it taste really bitter. Wheeljack's classes can be really fun sometimes.

We also pranked Jazz, but he pranked us back.

Illusion- How?

Sunstreaker- Well, we took all his aux cables and hid them, but he somehow knew it was us, so he took all of my paints and my brother's tools from our room. Made me remember why we never prank him. He's special ops, he basically knows everything that happens on this ship.

We also learned our lesson with Blaster. I think those two work together. We payed Rewind and Eject to fill Blaster's chest with petroleum jelly while he recharged. Turns out, they took our money, reported back to Blaster, and he payed them double to cover our beds with the same petroleum jelly we gave them. That was a couple months ago, before Sides and I left on our mission.

Illusion- So you came back and your beds were sticky?

Sunstreaker- Petroleum jelly isnt sticky, its... You know the oil you have to use for your joints? To help them not hurt as much?

Illusion- Yeah.

Sunstreaker- Like that, but thicker.

Illusion- Oh. Ew. Is that evyone you re-mem-ber?

Sunstreaker- uhhhh... yeah, those are the ones we've pranked recently. Sides and I sometimes pull pranks on our own, so he might have done some that i don't know about.

Illusion- I don't care, as long as he left my cre-a-tors alone.

Sunstreaker- Nah, i think he targets the commanding officers more than anything.

Illision- Oh. Can we go to doc Rung now?

Sunstreaker- Yeah, of course! Do you want to walk, or should i carry you?

Illusion- Carry me please.

Sunstreaker- Up you go!

i was trying to use that age post to try an gauge how old an alter is but due to not being a literal child in the meat world shes kinda contradictory. the youngest on that post is 4 anyway where they can understand language but she cant. so idk. she has very limited speech but i dont think its linked to her age i think thats just a limitation she has but she also cant understand language most of the time either. so idk. anyways thats my late night tjoughts

#posts #i dont talk about her much bc it feel like. weird kind of. shes just a little kid so i dont wanna talk abt basically her personal life #esp since its not really possible for her to have input due to communication issues and bc she is Not going to be using social media. lol #but for now i will talk abt her bc i feel like it idk. she split off when we went back to the mental hospital after Escaping. she has the-#-same birthday as me actuallt #at first she could write and undertsand feelings directed at her i guess? and could ostensibly speak but maybe not idk. bottom line is she-#-could do language for the first few days and then we got covid #and ever since then the only thing she can say or write is ''you have covid.'' which is what was said to us when our test thing came back #<- duh #so thats her name as well. but we call her co for short #shes contradictory in that she kind of Appears older than 4 like i might put her at 6 idk im not the best at visualizing age #but she has those massive restrictions on speech but at the same time can copy letters okay like her hand is more steady than expected #<- ive always assumed thats muscle memory at work but idrk #and also she likes specifically ada rook and stomach book's music. just in addition to everything else that was randomly aded to her existe #she also likes those like. aesthetic organization/snack cart restocking tiktoks. and civil court shows. and bluey #and baby yoda and frank sinatra nmovies
