actually im doing really well except for the fact that everything makes me sad and the things that dont make me sad make me angry. but other than that im fine
Tsundere this, yandere that. I'm a wandere. You took your eyes off me for two seconds and I've already fucked off. Saw something cool glint on the other side of the continent and I'm on my way to check it out.
[takes place immediately after dottore's fight, 6.6 spoilers]
archon quest was so good... it really felt like a wonderful finale to everything especially the world quests and collei and wanderer's arcs. it took us 4 years and the wait was so worth it!! 🥹 more yapping about the comic and them two under the cut:
ever since simulanka, scara saying that durin just wanted people to accept him or accept his apology always stuck with me. it was obviously something scara wanted, but with everything he did in the past, he never allowed himself to be accepted or forgiven even after turning over a new leaf in the sumeru arc.
saying "i'm sorry" and "i forgive you" has such a verdict to it. scara knows nahida has forgiven him, kind deity she is, but if he never apologises, then he can continue to pretend that he's still a guilty rejected criminal here to do what he must to repent, right?
i've always felt that he still held himself at a distance even through the nod krai arc, like he doesn't deserve friendship or kindness or forgiveness. but with the recent developments... it feels like he's finally ready to move forward.
on the other hand, nahida has always been too quick to forgive. but of the people that have done her wrong, who has sincerely apologised to her and wanted for her forgiveness? the sages who abandoned her? the sages who tried to make a false god? dottore? perhaps a heartfelt apology would give her just the little bit of closure for that 500 years of injustice...
also!! scara calls nahida by her name instead of lesser lord kusanali for the first time in the end of 6.6 🥺 although it only happens in EN and not in CN/JP so we'll have to see in the future. i feel that nahida would only ask him to call her by her name after 6.6, because she knows he was always distancing himself before...
Pre-menstrual depression is always depicted as like "He He! I had a box of icecream bars and cried while watching the Titanic!" But in reality, it's more like, "I'm standing the edge of an abyss. There is nothing good inside of me, I'm filled with rage and desperation."
It's crazy that being told how to deal with that is never a part of anyone's menstrual sex education.
This has already been said in the notes, but if PMS causes extreme depression and even suicidal ideation, that is in fact something that most people do not experience and it can be treated
Like for the majority it really is "oh i'm hungrier and moodier than usual"
^this should be a part of sex education so the point still stands
I went to my doctor after I was walking to work one morning and saw a bus coming and actually took a step to throw myself in front of it before I pulled myself together. Later that day I started bleeding and was literally like someone flipped a switch and I didn't feel suicidal anymore. Which made me feel like I was loosing my mind because who goes from 'I want to throw myself in front of a bus' to 'I'm perfectly fine' just like that? I did some research, I went to the doctor and described my feelings, he looked me in the eye and gently asked what I thought it was, I said I'd read about PMDD and I thought it might be that, he said 'I think so too' and wrote a prescription.
If, before you get your period, you feel furiously angry, suicidal, irritated by every tiny thing to the point you want to murder someone, stuck in a black hole you'll never escape from. If you are experiencing extreme emotions for what seems like no good reason, especially if you get your period and those extreme emotions just go away. You're probably not just PMSing , you may have PMS's feral big sister PMDD and it's treatable.
Also this is something that can develop as you get older. So if you used to get normal PMS but what I wrote above sounds more like your norm now then don't just write it off as regular PMS.
ALSO! If you start having those feelings and suspect you’re heading towards perimenopause, talk to your doctor.
Basically, if you have a uterus and you start having extreme mood swings every month, that’s not actually normal, go talk to a medical professional. Don’t grit your teeth and suffer through it.
When we were children, my sister had private music lessons at her violin teacher’s house. I only visited there once, but I still remember that afternoon. The teacher had an artificial pond in her yard, a large beautiful thing with lily pads and plant life. And in the pond, there were goldfish. I had never seen such enormous goldfish.
I spent several minutes just staring at them (and trying to convince them to bite my fingers.) When my sister’s violin lesson ended, her teacher came out to the yard and explained that these goldfish were the same small creatures that were often unfortunately sold in plastic bags at state fairs. They were only about two inches long apiece, when she bought them and put them in the new, empty pond. In essence, they were like every goldfish I had seen before, but they had been given a much larger, much richer environment in which to flourish. As a result, they had grown into some of the most remarkable, vibrant creatures my twelve-year-old self had ever met with. All because of a pond.
Funny what lessons children remember. My sister doesn’t play the violin anymore, but that was the first time I caught a glimpse of the overwhelming extent to which it matters, the way the world treats us.
I enjoy a joke about fucked up German fairy tales as much as the next nerd, but it's genuinely striking how often the source for the really fucked up stuff turns out to be "yeah, this is only in the Brothers Grimm version and doesn't appear in any extant oral tradition, and we're like 80% sure they added it themselves". To a large extent it's not German fairy tales that are fucked up, it's two specific German dudes.
DIY time! Did you know you can use Copic markers - any alcohol-based ink, really - and color shoes? Obviously you need to spray them with a fixative like Scotch Guard when you’re done, but yes! Color your shoes!
EDITED TO ADD!!! The shoes already had the gold foil pattern on them. I changed the color of that with the markers.
Please start that project you're thinking about. Post it anywhere you can. Let people see the art you can bring to the world. Please, I want to see it. Just type that first word. I believe in you!
Every time the government talks about declining birth rates there never seems to be the realisation that if you make becoming a parent completely unaffordable then people will simply not have kids.
Shocking, I know. But do you know how fucking dire a situation has to be for people to simply not want to have children?
Not interested in ‘I don’t want to have kids anyway’ reblogs on this one, I’m obviously not talking about people who actively choose not to.
Don't leave your friends and even acquaintances to go to the hospital alone. If they don't have someone already going with them and don't explicitly tell you they don't want you there, go to advocate for them. Outcomes for sick people change dramatically when they have someone else there to observe doctors (making them know they can't get away with negligence) and note symptoms from an outside perspective.
Going to the hospital is scary and even someone totally unprepared to be a medical advocate or physical support will be better than nothing, purely from their presence. You can grab food, be there with your phone to search if theirs dies, go in search of a doctor, distract them from pain or discomfort... go with them.
Man i feel really bad for the guy who wrote this article because the article actually manages to raise a very very very good point but the way the headline is phrased completely omits 95% of what they were trying to say
And because i know people won’t even bother to click and check the article itself i’m gonna screencap it, it’s fairly short, give it a read:
tl;dr: the article’s point isn’t “corporate satire is not funny anymore as in “we should stop making fun of corporations””, the article’s point is “corporate satire is not funny as in “it’s extremely depressing to live in a capitalistic hellhole and corporate satire aims more to poke fun at that without actually making you think about our world or giving you hope for a better future, and therefore it’s just lost its bite””
