OOC: do any of you have Steam? I need more friends on there, to play games with at some point, and was wondering if I could add some of you?

[fallsekings]

OOC: I still read roleplay and fandom confession blogs and every once in a while I find a confession and think to myself, "Why do you care about what everyone else thinks OP?" And then I realize that I'm reading these confessions because I care about what other people thinks and I want to get an idea what the communities are thinking about. In other words, I called myself out. Kinda enlightening in a way realizing how silly it can be at times.

[fallsekings]

OOC: I just saw a GoT's theory and I don't know how I feel about it. It's an interesting one but I need to do more research on it. There's a theory that Dany's father may not have been the Mad King Aerys, but Ser Arthur Dayne and that GRRM may have been trying to be sneaky about her name, "Dayne-heiress" which is Daenerys.

Not my theory but it's one I need to think on. It's kinda like one of the "Tyrion is a secret Targaryen" ordeals.

And it's not really out of line with GRRM's writing, I mean look at Jon, he was a secret Targaryen.

And even if Dany's father was Ser Arthur Dayne, she would still come from the same bloodline, seeing as how Aerys married his sister... so...

OOC: I just want to put out there, if you've ever wondered why Lucy Grey Baird seems to be forgotten about by the time of the original Hunger Games trilogy... it is simply because of the power of propaganda, which the Capitol is very good and effective at. They always control the narrative that is being told and if Snow wants to wipe you out of existence, he very well could do just that... even if you are a Victor, he can still wipe you out of history books, so to speak. If you've ever watched 1984, or read the book, Panem's society is very much like that book.

If you haven't read 1984 before, the government is always rewriting books, history books, and even news papers. If the Government said something would happen, and a week later it did not happen, then the government would collect those news papers, burn them, and rewrite the paper to act as though that were the plan all along. 1984 also creates fake wars to unite the people in thinking that the Government is protecting them from said wars. It also tortures and kills anyone that goes against the official narrative that the government is putting out... so much so they create a false hope, that there is a resistance movement to find those who have "wrong think", aka it finds people who are not completely brainwashed and they're looking for a way out. aka bait.

In the Hunger Games, it is quite similar. Instead of "war", they have created a "rumor of a war", that these games must take place because the Districts are "othered", they're "animals", and the only way to control them is the Hunger Games themselves. It's psychological warfare, to make the population believe that they're all enemies, that no one can work together and the government has made them believe so. They have made them believe that the government can take their children and they can't do a damn thing to stop it from happening. However! The "hope" the Panem government does give is letting there be one Victor.

"Hope. It is the only thing stronger than fear. A little hope is effective. A lot of hope is dangerous. A spark is fine, as long as it’s contained."

My point is this. The Government of Panem is very effective at making everyone believe that the Games are acceptable, through propaganda, and it is through that same propaganda, that the narrative can be controlled and manipulated and changed. You can kinda see it in the Games themselves, how they manipulate events, such as setting a fire to make Katniss run in the direction of more opponents, or creating a "fake" love story to invest the Capitol citizens. They also left RUBBLE in the streets from the rebellion, to keep that same rebellion, on the minds of their citizens .every. single. day.

At the end of the day, propaganda wins wars. Do I approve of that? No, but unfortunately it's the way things are. I could go into that, but that's not what my blog is for.

OOC: I just saw something on Facebook that said that Haymitch thought of Maysilee as a "sister", because he called her "sis", that is not necessarily true, just because he called her that. Haymitch and the others are from the Appalachian mountains, where I'm from, so I know the word more than most people of the fandom. We really do just throw that word out there to be friendly to someone. It's like the counterpart of "bro". Do we really think that everyone using the word "bro" thinks of the other person as a brother?

Appalachian people uses words like "sis", "sissy", for a girl and "bub" and "bubby" for a boy, too. It's as natural as breathing to say those words here.

So, while Haymitch did begin to like her before she died, him using the word "sis" does not automatically mean he thinks of her a sister. Could he? Maybe? I'm just saying to not base it on that word alone. I just wanted to toss that thought out there. Take it from someone who grew up in "coal country" in the Appalachian mountains.

If anyone is interested in learning more about our dialect, I could toss it out there, too.

FINALLY FINISHED THIS!! my own interpretation and additions to Sebastian's room in sdv ! Tried to keep anything in the image from the year 2010 or predated. i think theres a few give and takes but i really like the "older brother" early 2000s grunge aesthetic on another level and i thought who better fits it than him. I put a lot of references to stuff i personally like as well ^_^

[fallsekings]

OOC: Is anyone interested in having memes sent to you by Sebastian from Stardew Valley?

[fallsekings]

OOC: believe it or not, I have been working on stuff for my blog in the background the past few days. I will say that I may not be using icons for a while, though. Truth be told, I just want to write and not get too caught up with other stuff and I hope that's okay with you guys. Will icons come back in the future? Maybe but if I'm going to be writing, I will most likely be using a mobile device and the app to do that atm and so just want to play in the kiddy pool and not the deep end for the time being.

If you've sent me memes while I've been absent, I promise you, none of them has been deleted, I will be working on those, too. I appreciate all of the memes you guys have sent and I'm so sorry for being slow. I honestly think the mental health meds I'm on have made being creative rather difficult. Used to, before I was on medication, my brain never turned off, it was always going 90 miles an hour and that was anxiety driven and I understand that now. I thought once I had medication, that it would help weed out anxiety and help me focus more on writing again, but that hasn't really been the case... The medicine I'm on makes my brain really quiet now and I think that's what has affected my ability to write.

Just to give you guys an idea, the medicine I'm on for anxiety, is also prescribed to people who have seizures, too. It helps slow down activity in the brain down. But that's only one medicine. I'm on three different ones. Another one being for insomnia and another emergency one for anxiety when the other two aren't working.

I'm not trying to make excuses for not being here. I've honestly tried putting my finger on what's going on with me for awhile now. I want to be here and I want to write, just my brain is really sluggish at times.

[fallsekings]

OOC: if you guys wonder why I am normally not open to shipping with a lot of muns on tumblr...

It's because in the past I've been harassed, had a callout post against me, was told to go unalive myself, I've been blackmailed, guilted and gaslit, all by different people, because I either shipped something that made them jealous or didn't write something that I didn't want to write. I was actually told once that I was a terrible writer because I was "depriving my muses of their needs" because I didn't like writing smut... and now because of that, I always worry that I will bore people with my writing, especially when it comes to shipping because I don't write smut and don't want to...

All of this happened forever ago, and as far as I know they're not on tumblr anymore, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't effect me.

I only bring all of this up because of a confession I saw on a confession blog...

[mcavoy]

The person I reblogged this from is awesome as fuck.

OOC: It always baffles me that we judge children characters the same way we judge adult characters. I am not saying children can do no wrong, but sometimes kids don't understand life the way the adults do. They don't tend to understand the long term effects that some of their actions can have... and we just tend to expect them to know everything that we do without any life experiences whatsoever.

I want to use Draco Malfoy as an example. He was a bully and an all around jerk... but keep in mind he was 10-11 years old when we first saw him. 10. That is pretty young. His dad had basically "programmed" his mind to think like he did, because Draco had never known anything else. We think some things should just be "common sense", but this is us judging a CHILD as an adult. As the series continues though, we slowly start to see the cracks forming in his character. He talked the talk but couldn't walk the walk, so to speak. When push came to shove he did NOT like seeing or taking part in killing or death. When reality finally set in, he didn't like it... this was a child seeing reality for the first time. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt.

In the end he does decide to change and attempt to move away from the stigmas that his family name was attached to... and I'm not saying that erases anything that he said or did, because it doesn't... but the things he said and did as a child shouldn't condemn him for the rest of his life either.

OOC: So after being in panic mode this past month, several tests later, my cardiologist said that my heart was "normal" and he thinks it's just stress and anxiety causing the issues... So I am finally relieved after being told that I was okay. I was losing sleep and stress eating, so hopefully I can move on now. I still have to tell my therapist and RN the results, since they were the ones that sent me, but all is well now. Thanks everyone for their understanding and patience.

[fallsekings]

OOC: Hey guys, I just want to talk about something that's been going on lately, and for a long time with me now. I've wrote a lot about my mental health issues, but not how deeply that they have ran with me... and how that has effected my physical health as well. I'll write the rest below a "read more" as to not trigger anyone, but I kinda hope this may be someone's sign to stop putting off a visit to your doctor.

I have really bad anxiety stemming from trauma, so it's not your "normal" anxiety one may feel about taking a test, it's something a bit deeper. I have such bad anxiety about going to the doctor that I quit going for around 18 years... lots can happen in 20 years. I stopped going to the dentist and I let one of my teeth continually painfully throb in my mouth until it chipped and died, so now there is no fixing it. I didn't go to the doctor for bad back pain over the years, and I've also gotten a mild concussion and refused to go. Every winter I get blisters on my hands, but I never went. I didn't go when I got covid, I never went to the eye doctor to get glasses, even though my vision was getting more blurry by the year, I have never gotten my driver's license because of it.... and on and on and on.

When you don't treat anxiety, it can effect you in other ways aside from mentally. Anxiety releases cortisol, which is a stress hormone, that can make your inflammation go up and cause things like back pain to get worse.

Now the point I am writing all of this is, Cortisol can also effect your heart. I have passed out many times because of my heart acting up (and the last time I passed out I also refused to go to the doctor), and now that I am actually getting therapy, the medicine I get from my mental health professionals, can't be given to me unless I am cleared by a cardiologist. My heart rate flies away from me now after many many years of untreated anxiety.

My RN that does my mental health meds, after an EKG last week, her nurse called me Tuesday morning, to tell me that I needed to see my Primary Doctor ASAP so I could be recommended to a Cardiologist. I told them the date that I could come in and I scheduled an appointment, and then later that day my Primary Doctor gave me a personal phone call to tell me that I needed to see her (on Wednesday) and so I spent all day yesterday getting more blood tests, and another EKG and going back and forth between the clinic, the cardiologist, getting medicine, etc, etc.

My point is, I know healthcare can be expensive, especially where mental health is concerned. If you have a mental illness, do not put it off until it is too late and at the very least talk to your primary doctor. I am currently sitting here typing this with a heart monitor on that I will have to wear until Saturday and I have more tests to come afterwards.

I know a lot of this may sound crazy... but my family has a lot of bad health problems and I grew up hearing about the number of heart attacks and strokes different members of my family has had. This is also not my first trip to the Cardiologist... my last visit was what made me stop going to the doctor all together.

Just please go to your doctor. I am currently trying to get my life together atm after years of neglecting myself. Please don't wait and hope things will get better eventually... because they won't if you make no moves to get better.

The only reason I changed is because something happened... and let's just say I realized the fear of losing someone in my life was more scary than my fear of going to the doctor to get better. I've been working on it the past 3 years, and I still have a while to go to get better... so please don't wait.
