The complete triforce of the zonai/dragon armor sets. I love all three of them but the ember set is my favorite one because of the horns and also because Dinraal is my favorite of the dragons 🔥
I know it's been a hot minute since I've updated anything here, but life is pretty crazy rn and I've been struggling a lot. For months now I've been dealing with some horrible health issues. I've always had these issues as far back as I can remember, but this year was the worst it has ever been. No doubt exacerbated by the fact that my career has been down the toilet ever since last August.
For the sake of explaining myself, I'll probably ramble for a while, so bear with me here for a moment. It's gonna get lengthy.
So my whole life, I've had these issues where certain parts of my body will suddenly cramp up and stiff or contort, or pinch and close up, or tingle and go numb. I can remember instances as far back as elementary school, and my mom can remember instances from infancy. When it got bad in high school, my mom and I tried bringing it up to my doctor, but they told my mom and I that my health issues were all in my head and were most likely panic attacks. While yes I do suffer from --and am being treated for-- anxiety and major depressive disorder, the difference between my panic attacks and what we called my 'muscle attacks' was pretty obvious to anyone who actually used their eyes. And it could be brought on by any emotion or physical overexertion, not just anxiety. It's just that anxiety and panic tended to bring out the worst of it.
I could sing in the car and lose feeling in my nose and eyes. I could laugh with friends and lose control of my lips and fingers. I could compete in swim team and find that I had lost the ability to flex my fingers, or feel my thighs. I had to quit band because my fingers would suddenly pinch shut and be unable to pluck my guitar. These attacks could last anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes, and often times would lead to painful cramps, most notably in my hands and face. My mom and I tried doing our own research at home for years, but could never articulate ourselves well enough to find answers. Eventually we gave up trying and I learned to simply live with it.
But this year, back in May, we had a horrible accident happen at work. After the adrenaline died down and the accident was resolved, I found myself having one of my muscle attacks. Except it wasn't stopping, and it worked its way from my arms through to my legs. Suddenly every limb was contorting in the wrong direction. Suddenly my tongue was swelling and going numb. Suddenly my throat was thick and I could no longer breathe. Suddenly I was struggling like this for 20-- 30-- 40 minutes. My fingers were bent so tightly that they lost circulation and went cold. My legs were stuck so far out that my back began to arch. An ambulance was called for me, and I was wheeled away on a stretcher while my friends and coworkers tried to get ahold of my family, and I lay contorted on that stretcher while an IV was attached to my arm and a benadryl drip was inserted to try and stop my throat from closing completely. I remember feeling the benadryl hit the back of my throat so hard that I started coughing and began to panic. And then suddenly I could breathe again.
Once we arrived at the ER, I was lifted bridal style out of the stretcher and placed into a wheelchair, where the triage nurse attempted to fold my legs to place my feet on the foot rests. My legs refused to bend at the knee, continuously and painfully springing back up into their stiffened position, and the nurse had to give up on it. I was then wheeled out into a waiting room where I sat for almost an hour before I was finally seen, but throughout that hour my symptoms eased away bit by bit. My mother ended up finding me before any doctors did. By the time I was seen by any staff, the contortions had stopped, and I was left in an exhausted and shaky heap. I was finally wheeled into a room the size of a broom closet, piled with old supplies that looked like they'd been stacked there for months, where I spoke to a doctor for all of five minutes before I was told it was a panic attack mixed with an allergic reaction (I don't even have allergies). And then I was sent home with shame in my heart and a packet on managing stress.
I haven't been the same since.
In the following months, I began having those full body contortions periodically and increasing in frequency, starting off at once per month, and steadily becoming once to twice per week. I have been back to the ER twice, and had paramedics called on me four times. My longest contortion attack has lasted just a little over two hours. My qpr partner and I have long since fallen into a twisted little routine. The tingling aura begins, I lose function of my limbs-face-tongue, my partner helps push a benadryl into my mouth, and then I am stripped and carried into a warm bath to try and relax my muscles. I have been carried in the rain, I have been carried up the stairs, I have been piggybacked while my limbs fought themselves, and I have been stripped in front of all of my closest friends in desperate attempts to cool my body down and help my muscles relax. My hands are placed under my ass, where my own body weight can force my fingers apart from where they are attempting to curl over each other. And then we wait. We wait and we time it like it's a seizure.
But here's what I refused to wait on. I sought further help, after that ER doc sent me home. I sent my primary care doctor an emotional and quite frankly very *angry* letter about the ordeal, demanding a consultation for neurology. Because, personally, I don't know very many people whose panic attacks feel like their bones are breaking. I have pulled muscles amidst the contortions, and now regularly keep a wrist brace close by. So I sent my letter, and my doctor acquiesced, by literally the grace of god. And that neurologist actually listened. Because I had my coworker record my symptoms before I was wheeled away on that stretcher, and I made him watch the video. He was quite baffled by what he saw. Tests were ordered, and for the first time in my entire life I found a doctor that paid attention to what I was saying. He ordered an MRI, an EKG, an EEG, and an EMG. I had a muscle attack during the EEG, which was recording on their cameras and sent to my neurologist. Epilepsy was ruled out quickly, as there were no epileptiforms, and I was consistently cognitive for each attack. MRI came back with just a couple microscopic white matter spots that were non conclusive to my symptoms. EMG found nothing degenerative in my nervous system (though it did diagnose a small nerve pinch in my arm that I already knew about).
All of my tests came back normal. So no epilepsy, no multiple sclerosis, no muscle degeneration, and no brain / bodily trauma found. So where did that leave me? Well, thanks to my partner, I had almost every symptom recorded, and from there my neurologist toyed with the idea of Functional Neurological Disorder. And then after a few talks with a movement specialist, he began considering something else. Paroxysmal Dyskinesia, or Paroxysmal Dystonia. In order to test this theory, I was placed on an anti seizure medication twice per day, and a final test was ordered for Neurogenetics.
That is where I am now. Awaiting my Neurogenetics test in February, where I will see two doctors in the same appointment; the doctor performing the test, and a genetics counselor to go over the results. I'm terrified, but eager. Twenty-seven years of unexplained pain is about to all come to a head. That is how life is going right now.
hey so don't use this. RabbelLabs, the company actually creating this platform, trains AI models. Jack Dorsey is best friends with Elon Musk and they both advocate constantly for the abolition of IP law because it stands in the way of AI 'growth' (theft). They're banning AI on the platform so they can use it as a clean slate to train more fucking AI. They're also using images of Divine, the drag queen, to push their shit and I guarantee they didn't get permission from her estate.
The DiVine website says that it's made by Rabble.
If you go to their website you can find this:
if you click that And Other Stuff you're taken to an entirely different website that explains what all that 'other stuff' is: five pillars of building Nostr AI.
You have to wonder why they're hiding it, right? Why is it so hard to find? Why register an entirely different domain (it's andotherstuff.com, not like rabblelabs.com/andotherstuff) just to talk about the AI stuff you're doing if you're so proud of it?
Stop simping for billionaires just because they jingle keys in your face, start doing some fucking research.
If i knew like 5% less about video games and you tried to tell me which of these characters were named Snake and Cloud and which ones were named Ridley and Isabelle i would NOT believe you
you need to understand that i have two sets of headcanons. there's the set of realistic headcanons based on my genuine reading of the show, and then there's me playing pretend with my dolls.
So, official support for Windows 10 ends on October 14th 2025. But Microsoft apparently lost a court case and now they have to offer an extra year of security updates--which was an option previously only available to their Business customers--to everyone. But you have to manually enroll. If you want to know how to do it, go to the link below
As the end of official support for Windows 10 approaches on October 14, 2025, many users are seeking ways to maintain their system's securit
You've got to do it before October 14th if you want the extra year. Otherwise support will end for you and you'll probably have to "upgrade" to Windows 11.
HOW TO GET YOUR ACCOUNT BACK FROM RANDOM NIGHTMARE SURPRISE TERMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!
I woke up on sunday morning to find that my whole account had been terminated out of the blue. VERY DISTRESSING!!! if this has just happened to you, YOU CAN GET YOUR ACCOUNT RESTORED. the best part is, everything remains intact! your messages, asks, followers, posts, etc. don't fret!! they restored my account only a day after it had been terminated. usually, it takes one to two weeks for a response. HERE'S WHAT I DID!!!
it's important that you send a SUPPORT TICKET. don't randomly email them!!! go to https://www.tumblr.com/support and choose "terminated account" as your reason.
include the email of the account that got terminated. this makes it easier for them to recover it! if you can't send it from that email, just include it in the message.
include the following: to the best of your knowledge, you have re-read the site rules and you haven't broken any site guidelines. state how important your account is to you, and stress how thankful you are for their help in recovering it. BE POLITE. EVEN IF YOU'RE UPSET OR PISSED OFF!!!! it significantly ups your chances of being listened to. I included the phrase "I'm sure you understand the importance of this" which is corporatespeak for "FIX THIS OR SO HELP ME GOD" and that seemed to get their attention.
you can also @ support on tumblr with the issue, and @ them on another site (e.g. twitter). there's a chance they'll see and respond quicker! cover all your options. the reddit for tumblr account termination is no longer active so don't bother with that.
if they don't respond within a few days, reply to the confirmation email they sent after you sent in your request. follow up! ask for updates! reiterate the urgency of the situation! make sure you're not responding to an address with "noreply" in it!
REALLY HOPE THIS HELPS!!!! all is not lost you just gotta be STERN AND POLITE. it's terrifying to have your entire account vanish overnight but there is always hope okay. love you good luck
UPDATE: I had to do this whole thing AGAIN because my art blog ALSO got terminated out of the blue and they got back to me the very next day. this shit works!!!! I think the main factor is following up by replying to their confirmation email because as soon as I did that they got back to me.
Can confirm this is how I tackled it when this blog was randomly terminated a while back; I had to do this before. I got my whole blog back, which is good, because I think this one is over a decade old by now.
