Hello! Welcome to my Tumblr! I
I go by Minmin or Min, he/xe pronouns.
I came here for Transformers MTMTE and am not so active in that fandom anymore. I mostly goof around on here tbh. I’m a pharmacy student so I will go silly over anything medical. I am also getting into Flight Rising and trying to figure out how breeding projects work.

Backrooms spoilers WIPs the backrooms really has a hold on my soul right now
healthcare provider: do you have to pee unusually often?
me: well, I don't know how many times a day the average person pees. the relevant data I have is that I am currently on a medication that helps me have to pee less often, and also that before I was on this medication, I had to pee a number of times per day that I personally found frustrating and inconvenient, although I often think that some degree of that is due to our society not being built to accommodate people who need to pee really often.
healthcare provider: most people pee between four and seven times a day.
me: oh yeah then I'm totally normal.
healthcare provider: I would not go that far

it's annoying how hormones can affect your mental state, because right before I start my period, I have a day or two of INTENSE depression. like at certain points I'm almost vaguely suicidal. and then I wake up the next day bleeding out, and I'm like ohhhhhhhhhhhh! ohhh it was that! I'm actually happy and fine!
I had to explain that to a guy who was over once, because we had a mild argument about who would brush their teeth first, and I started SOBBING over it, and then (while still crying) had to explain "unfortunately, this is just a hormone thing, you're good man."
I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience and knows more because i don't understand what the doctor meant?
I have Polyendocrine metabolic syndrome and am also nonbinary and do not want to go on hormones. This makes going to the doctor difficult because a lot of treatments seem hormone based, but last time I went I was told I should take progesterone because it is an androgenizing hormone? I thought progesterone was not that, so I was confused but regretfully I didn't ask more questions(VERY bad habit of mine). Is there anyone who had this experience and asked further or anyone who mabye knows more about hormones because I thought progesterone was not androgenizing but also I am not a professional nor do I understand hormones. The doctor was nice and respectful not saying she did anything wrong or anything i just am overall confused and should have asked questions i didn't -_-
(Hope its ok to ask this here felt like a good way to reach more people who could know more)
.
Without having done any research into this, and based purely off what I’ve learned in pharmacy school so far and my experience working at a pharmacy, progesterone is not used as an androgenizing hormone. Quite the opposite in fact.
There do exist progestin-based birth controls that can be androgenic, so perhaps that could have been what the doctor was referring to.
I could do more specific research on the matter if anyone would like me to— I have access to a good few medical databases.
i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out
People have a different POV from you, might have more or less info, might work from a different matrix, might just be doing things their own way. If the stuff you're not agreeing with is virtually harmless, just let it go. If it's not, you might benefit from trying to put yourself into the other person's shoes. What do they know? Where do they come from (not geographically but in terms of background)?
And if all else fails, use this :
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
tired of cannibalism as a metaphor for love or sex. can we get into cannibalism as a metaphor for colonization.
1. Europeans using Egyptian mummies as medicine
2. The Delectable Negro: Human Consumption and Homoeroticism Within US Slave Culture by Vincent Woodard
3. "Abolitionists turned the tables on Europeans by accusing them of being cannibals when they ate sugar tainted with the flesh and blood of slaves."
4. Zombies (which I would class as cannibals, since they were human and need to eat humans to live) have a root in Haitian folklore and represented enslavement.
adding that, if you can find it, cannibal culture by deborah root is about exactly this. the way the white western world is a hungry, destructive force that cannibalizes non-white cultures and creates wealth and status through the cannibal colonization of those cultures.
here's the intro
i almost think there's an essay in bell hooks' black looks about this too? yes! just checked, there's an essay called "eating the other"
A REFERENCE OR A COINCIDENCE?
I just finished watching the Backrooms movie and I picked some things up that seem to bear resemblance to another work of Kane. The Oldest View is a 3-part series that holds the same concept as The backrooms. I'm not well versed in the behind the scenes on how it was made but I'm putting the assumption that T.B somehow influenced T.O.V in the making.
So here's the first resemblance.
The "Exit"
While may seem like a cliche at first, I like to point this detail out just because I thought it was similar. With further analyzation and pulling threads like a maniac, the direction of the exit are opposites to each other. In the first pic (which is The Oldest View), the path is straight but when looked into, it's still upwards but it's lit so that could mean it is indeed a way out if...Well that happened. Now unto the latter, I don't have much to say except the resemblance of the environment and situation, though the latter do hold itself a bad of a reputation.
Figures Of Remembrance
These two characters are made to hold a memory of someone or something. Both acted violent, although one is indeed more mysterious. The Statue was calculating its acts of terror, Captain did not. Just like Clark himself, it was actions caused by outbursts of emotion. I mean god, in one of the scenes where it can't reach Mary through the narrow space and it sounds it's crying out due to being left alone yet it ate Clark when all he wanted was to care for it. A truly self-destructive figure, like Clark was. Either way, both are creatures that made to resemble someone yet forgotten in the endless spaces.
Why are people trying to make ships in a movie where there are literally no ships. Actually scratch that, why are people making ships out of literally every character that isn’t the only couple in the movie.

!SPOILERS FOR THE BACKROOMS!
Some references I spotted and other rambling thoughts
I got to see the Backrooms movie in theatres yesterday and I loved everything about it, it's the first film in a long time that has genuinly scared me.
As a result, I can't stop thinking about it! So here are some easter eggs/references I noticed while watching:
1. 'B1 - All that follows is true' plays during the scene where Mary's mother is in the hospital
It's a track from The Caretaker's album - Everywhere at the End of Time
The Caretaker's music has been in used in liminal space related content for years now, so seeing that aspect of this internet mythos being included was beautiful.
The album itself is about dementia and losing one's self, being trapped in your own mind, going through loops of your own experiences, things that were once familiar to you slowly becoming unrecognizable until everything is alien. To me, the backrooms being linked to this album and by extension, dementia and other mental illnesses is no coincidence at all.
I think the horror of both the backrooms and conditions like dementia compliment eachother very well, I think it would be difficult to imagine the backrooms completly divorced from these themes and it still invoking the same sense of dread.
The song also plays throughout the segment where we sink deeper into the layers of the backrooms where the copy of Mary's childhood home becomes more and more distorted. Like a memory trying to be recalled, but the harder someone tries to remember it, the further it gets from reality. This as well, more subtly solidifies the connection between these themes.
2. The tape on the wall being a possible reference to 'Stage 6 - Everywhere at the End of Time'
The tape on the wall leading to the backrooms as seen in the film and in promotional material is very reminiscent of the cover of Stage 6 from EATEOT.
The film's main theme is about mental illness and trauma, this and The Caretaker song being included makes me think this may have been a reference. I don't think it would be far fetched at all.
The last time we see the tape on the wall is when Mary enters the backrooms to find Clark, when she does, he's a shell of his former self. Clark has wondered the backrooms for who knows how long, losing his mind more and more in the process. (Much like Mary's mother, both people she was unable to help.)
I think the yellow office building backrooms area where we start can be interpreted as a reflection of Clark's mind. The area itself has similarities to his furniture store, a monstrous version of him roams the halls, the entire store AND the surrounding area is in the backrooms, the enterance is in his basement, and weird glitches from the backrooms appear and effect the real world. If we subscribe to the MRI machine connection theory, then I think it's possible that the backrooms was able to copy him and his mind so much because of his close prolonged proximity to it. (He spends all his time at store, including sleeping.) Also why his still life is so different from the others.
3. Saturn Devouring His Son
The scene where Captain/Pirate Clark starts eating Clark immediatly reminded me of the painting, Saturn Devouring His Son by Francisco Goya.
With the connection between Clark and the backrooms, I think this event symbolizes Clark being fully consumed by the worst parts of himself. In the very scene proceeding this one, Clark admits that he doesn't want to change and that he'd rather stay in the backrooms. He tells Pirate Clark that they don't have to change after all, and that's when the monster representing his anger and self-destructive tendencies, literally eats him alive.
Another angle I found, is that this is a retelling of the night he got kicked out by his wife. Clark is forcing Mary to reenact what had happened, and by the end, Pirate Clark stumbles in unexpectedly, representing the worst parts of himself, consumes him like his anger did that night. It is a grotesque, distorted copy of what had happened. It makes me think of the scene with Mary's childhood home progressively getting unrecognisable. Kane's backrooms doesn't follow linear time either, so maybe, no matter how hard Clark tries to break free from this cycle, he was never meant to leave. Unable to escape his fate much like Saturn in the myth.
I also think the monster either mimics Clark's behavior or behaves according to Clark's thoughts/the inner workings of his mind. I'm not sure what to make if right now.
All in all this movie was everything I wanted it to be and more. It perfectly evoked the feelings I got when talks of liminal spaces, and previously 'cursed images', started occuring online.

Discord is supposedly saying this is going to affect "only 10% of users", but I really don't believe them at all. It's always going to be way worse and affect more people than what they claim.

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people
