i know after a certain point the chronic illness posting is just like "yeah girl. we know." however i would still like everyone to know my whole body is inflamed and i am gonna complain about it.

Gross and tmi as shit under the cut (re: IBS and the like + bodily injury) but—

I fucking hate our body because what do you mean no matter what we fucking do it's almost always going to hurt after we shit because 9 times out of 10 it fucking tears something. AND APPARENTLY THIS IS REALLY COMMON IN CROHN'S. And other stuff like IBS. But given our mom had Crohn's I'm just placing bets on how long until this makes us have a full panic attack. I'm guessing mid April. We HAVE an IBS diagnosis but we all know how shit goes with the Mementos. ...literally, now.

Convinced I'm the only person in the world having this specific Twitch issue, because not only are there zero results for anything like it within the past 8 years, but the tech support basically said "we have no idea what's wrong and we can't help you" when I told them I tried everything they offered to me.

All twitch streams display as offline despite the streamer being online, and all VODs are black screens with 00:00:00. Clips work, for some reason.

People have had Similar issues. But not the "Firefox specifically is blocking videos from loading and causing all channels to appear offline and all VODs to break" issue.

Not the "same version of Firefox is not breaking for a friend using the same OS" issue.

Turned off all my extensions. Cleared my cache and cookies. Disabled enhanced tracking protection. it is THIS firefox specifically that's throwing a hissy fit

How do I know it's this Firefox specifically? Stream loads in edge. Stream loads on the mobile website on my PHONE'S Firefox on the same network. Stream loads embedded in DISCORD.

Please send help.

"You're looking at ease Fuzzy Bear."

Faustus doesn't bother to disturb his focus from painting the last stripe of nail polish on his pinky finger. Polish isn't hard to get off from his skin but he doesn't need acetone to dry out his cuticles to all hell just because he got distracted by Syd. Besides, he can already hear Syd's footsteps crossing the room. By the time he closes the bottle to properly look up, Syd's reclined back on his bed, an easy grin on their face.

They're eyeing the box of Faustus's nail polish with what looks like mild interest. Syd doesn't usually paint their nails, but every so often, Faustus sees them painted. Usually a dark color. Usually chipped within the day.

"Self care and all that jazz," Faustus waves a hand at the box. "You want me to paint yours too?"

Syd tilts their head to the side, humming unnecessarily long and squinting their eyes.

"Yeah, you know what, polish me up," Syd tugs the the box closer to their lap and begins to noisily rattle the bottles inside.

It only takes a moment for them to fish out a bottle of dark polish, a deep aubergine that Faustus favors in the winter. "This one's good. Think I'd look pretty fucking handsome in a nice purple, yeah?"

"Dunno Syd," Faustus smirks, grabbing the bottle from their loose grip and positioning their hand on his naked thigh. "Might be kind of a reach from the black and grey you usually wear. Bit adventurous for you."

They bicker back and forth about a whole lot of nothing. That's how things usually go for them. Needling, pressing, toeing the line to see who gives first, keeping careful count of each smirk that manages to tilt its way into a grin. Faustus doesn't look up much while he's painting neat stripes on Syd's fingernails -- too focused on keeping the polish away from the skin and the cuticle, too focused on admiring the subtle bends there from old breaks and faded scars from old abrasions.

There's a little mole on the inside of their wrist Faustus sees when he lifts their hand to blow on the wet polish. It's faint brown, barely noticeable. Faustus thinks about kissing it, wonders about how Syd's face might look. Eyes a fraction wider, cheeks a fraction pinker?

Oh. No, no that's a weird thought. Too tender for what they've got going on.

Faustus settles for swiping his thumb across it. Something subtler. Unusually gentle. He does chance a look and catches Syd looking at their joined hands, eyebrow lightly cocked, before their eyes meet and the curiosity Faustus sees there cools and retracts to a playful smirk.

"Don't tell me this was some ruse to kiss my hand, Fuzzy," Syd coos. "Bit romantic for you, eh?"

"Maybe. You don't know how romantic I am," Faustus laughs. He twists the bottle of polish closed, gives it a shake, and points at Syd's other hand. "Might be some prince charming in hiding. Now give me the other one, and for fuck's sake, stop moving so much unless you want polish all over you."

why am i more likely to find fics where steph fills the position of "daughter figure" when bruce has a canonically adopted daughter who he adores and has built a relationship with. or fics where cass and duke are left out completely but this white girl who is almost ALWAYS on bad terms with bruce sure as hell gets a mention. stop leaving cass and duke out of their family to replace them with her thanks.
