So, since I’m dealing with the long-term effects of the hip dysplasia I was born with (even tho it was treated), I’ve started having some mild osteoarthritis issues and various inflammations in my femoral tendons. My orthopedist prescribed a medication for me to take for ten days; since I also had a headache today, I checked to see if it was indicated for migraine treatment as well.

​It turns out that one of the side effects is, in fact, headaches. But! There’s a catch. Studies indicate that it can also relieve acute migraine pain, thanks to its mechanism of action on inflammatory mediators. So, basically, my headache could start, go away, come back, go away, come back... in a loop that only ends when the drug is out of my system. In ten days. A real rollercoaster of emotions.

Whoever made this, may your pillows always be fluffed and cool and may you never hit a red light as long as you live.

I haven’t laughed this hard in a long mf time.

As I already said once in a party, it's been so long since I've listened to or read the dialogue in MSQ roulette that, to me, it's entirely plausible that the developers, at some point, changed all the dialogue, making the entire conversation a detailed discussion about Gaius's grandmother's lasagna recipe.

I was born with bilateral congenital hip dysplasia, a birth defect where the hip joint doesn't develop correctly, causing instability between the head of the femur and the acetabulum (the socket of the pelvis). Fortunately, thanks to an early diagnosis of this problem, I didn't need surgery, but I had to wear a hip abduction brace for two years, which completely blocked my leg movements. From 14 months to about three years old, I had to put up with all the 'Say hello to the neighbors, hug your cousins, give Auntie a kiss' without the possibility of running away and deciding not to do it. On top of that, there was the classic 'But if you don't do it, they'll be upset' from my mother or grandmother, which meant I couldn't even tell everyone to go to hell right then and there.

If I could give one piece of advice to my younger self from those years, I would tell her, 'Do whatever the hell you want.'

​Because I grew up with the fear of upsetting others, something that lowered my self-esteem so much that it was six feet under, to the point of admitting to people who treated me badly that I was an idiot. And it took years and years to overcome all of this.

Hmm... Well. I'm writing this as an outlet, maybe, but I realize that many people are, or have been, in a similar situation (not necessarily because of a brace!); and I hope that they find in the words 'Do whatever the hell you want' the strength to build their self-esteem, avoiding getting stuck under everything others do to impose their authority on you. Listening to and considering advice with other people is, imho, the right thing to do, but advice is only that: advice. Make your decisions by thinking with curiosity, conscience and intelligence about the repercussions they may have, especially on your own life.

But, this is just my advice.

You... do whatever the hell you want

So, I Just found out today that ostriches often just wander off and completely forget what they were doing... I've never related to an animal this much in my life, seriously.

Won't stop being funny to me that in Shb you have the Crystal Exarch, Ardbert, Emet Selch, and Feo Ul all potentially spying on the WoL in secret and/or appearing without warning at any given time.

The MSQ goes out of its way to impress upon you that they're all watching you at intervals. Absolutely no guarantee of privacy at any point in the entire main quest. None.

Between the magic mirror, the ghost-bonding-thing, Ascian invisibility shenanigans, and the Fae pact, it's a wonder the WoL didn't end up paranoid as all get out by the end of that arc
