ok how did you give yourself vitamin b3 poisoning if I may ask

Okay so I have POTs and so I need like a bonkers amount of salt every day so my body actually uses water for things other than peeing, and one of the better ways to get that level of salt are things like Liquid I.V.s which are just like packs with salt and other electrolytes. The issue is that Liquid I.V.s have a bunch of extra vitamins in them, which would be fine if I was only having the recommended one a day. My doctors told me it was fine to have up to 6 a day.

One pack of Liquid I.V. has 19.5mg of Vitamin B3. The recommended daily amount for someone my size is 14mg. Again, I was having between 3-6 a day. Every day.

Eventually one of my doctors was like "well actually you should probably be careful with all those B vitamins" and I was like oh okay, good thing to look into. And I did. And decided to take a break and not have any for a couple days since I had finally gotten my hands on salt tablets anyway.......and discovered that the brain fog, memory issues, exhaustion, severe daily nausea, abdominal cramping, bloating, and several other symptoms I've been plagued with for the last 6-4 months were Vitamin B3 poisoning.

I feel much better now and probably didn't give myself liver damage which is great, but yeah. Uh....watch out for B Vitamins. They might just be your black mold.

ohhhh so that's why your URL is gayelectro

YES

In the summer of 2014, me and my best friend @schrodingersheadspace, hot off the tail of watching The Amazing Spider-Man 2* were looking for more Spider-Man shows to watch and we fell in love with The Spectacular Spider-Man (2008).

I say that ^ this ^ theme song changed the very trajectory of my life.

It quickly became a massive hyperfixation for me and it helped me begin to work through a lot of my bullshit. I made a ton of friends through the online fandom, many of whom I'm still close to to this day! Made a bunch of AMVs and of course... I had an RP blog for Electro!

Also yeah, my wife was my main Doc Ock mun for a long time. We don't really RP TSSM stuff specifically anymore, we're like in superhero burnout and have been since like 2020-something, but like. She's still my Doc Ock and I'm still her Elly. As I type this from her bed, I see so many Doctor Octopus trinkets I've gotten for her over the years. We RP all the time still, just whatever fixation is hitting us hardest, lately it's been Megaman X again. We have various interests that come in waves.

So yeah, the "gayelectro" handle came from my TSSM obsession days! I still love it and it clearly holds a very dear place in my heart. I highly recommend it if you're even, like, casually interested in Spiderman. Basically uuuuuh transgender eel go zappy zap! Now I'm gayelectro forever, it's like my Online Brand (TM). Electro will always be a part of me, because he was how I found love, friends, and more strength and boldness in my identity.

*Note: TAS2 is a very flawed movie but I will always note that that film is the origin point of my love for Electro as a character! A tragic and marginalized interpretation of Electro is always more likely to grip me. I also honestly think that Electro should be a black man from that point forever forward. It's more compelling and we simply do not need more white Max Dillons ever again. I was so happy to see him get his flowers in No Way Home.

**Clarity on Electro's sexuality; he is canonically bisexual in the comics, but I headcanoned him always as a gay trans guy in TSSM'08. But also realistically my username is generally more about me rather than a specific statement on the character. I'm gay or queer or something and I like Electro. I do think that TSSM Electro is gay but that doesn't detract from the way he's canon bi in everything where he's had an explicitly stated sexuality. But also comics is like Transformers where things change every continuity so *wavey noncommittal hand gesture*

just wanna say i appreciate you giving and sharing actually good criticism of the hellaverse. as a long time fan of it, it's a breath of fresh air to see someone who actually properly criticizes it without falling into the blind and frankly ridiculous vitriol that it faces from what seems to be the majority of the rest of the critics.

i don't accept hate falsely disguised as criticism. that's not to say i don't allow anyone to hate things, particularly media, but i can't stand when people are dishonest about claiming to be authentic within fandom spaces, particularly those which genuinely do want the best for their show and its characters.

some of the best hellaverse-critical blogs i like on here have a favorite character that they're upset about having been wronged in the canon writing ─ not to call anyone out (although i mean this totally lightheartedly as a friendly mutual), but it's most often stella & striker. frankly, i would like to see more appreciation for millie on this subside of tumblr. anyway, the point is little things like that clearly tell me they haven't just jumped on the trend of calling everything about it cringe or irredeemable.

i've found that i'm very careful and selective about who i reblog from for the exact reason you stated, and i've made sure to block the worst offenders (in my opinion). i'm not spiteful, and i don't hold resentment towards fans (i have thoughts to share, but i refuse to chastise them like a bully). i think some anti blogs regardless of fandom just end up being bullies towards fans and imply that they believe anyone who enjoys the same thing they despise is stupid and simple-minded. i don't have any respect for that crowd because they've come for me on my she-ra blog a few times before, one particular name in mind who makes me uncomfortable just to be reminded of, and i will not tolerate such behavior at a neutral place where i want to have discussions with anyone who is willing to listen. you won't convince anyone by being unsafe for their emotional well-being, or including others who are.

vivziepop herself is a complex subject for me because she's a real person. i believe she deserves harsher judgement than the characters she writes, mostly regarding her ability to write them to their full potential, and it rightfully annoys people when she refuses to accept anything she doesn't like to be told. i can understand that people wish to never be associated with her due to her problematic (and potentially harmful) history and i have no doubt she will be regarded as controversial/divisive at best once the franchises for HH & HB have ran their courses and aren't quite so popular/mainstream anymore.

all that being said, i do not support harassment and especially blatant misogyny directed towards her name, excusing it simply because she's this infamous meme now. if she was an influential politician or anyone with a serious sense of power this might be a different story, but at the end of the day she's just a creator. i use this blog to point out what i dislike about her words/actions and work, in a place where she will never see it (and can actively avoid seeing if the stars ever align in a way that neither of us wants or expects to happen). i do not use it to advocate for her public execution and when people in general can differentiate that from a call for accountability, maybe then there can be a beneficial change.

With summer around the corner and temperatures rising, I know that where I live there’s going to be a wasp or two that gets into the house or too close to me since there’s always a nest right by my brother’s window

I was wondering how I can just… not freak out? Because I love wasps, I really do, but seeing one triggers my fight or flight response. I know so much about them, yet fear still grasps me every time i see one of those beautiful creatures.

I'm afraid I can't offer much advice because my advice is usually to start by learning as much as you can about them! After that it's really just time and exposure. It took me a long time not to feel a spike of fear at the sight of a spider. If you've been afraid all your life and only recently started appreciating them, it could take years to get over that ingrained fear. And if it goes as deep as a legitimate phobia, that may require some therapy to get over.

WHERE DID YOU FIND THAT PICTURE OF ME???

[huberts-private-counsel-archive]

what if:

hubert wears contacts or uses some dark magic for his eyes to be that bright of a green, and his natural eyes are something really cute and soothing like... eh… dark blue.

To be honest, I actually don't know about this one lol

I've personally believed that either he's always had those bright green eyes, or it was the continued use of dark magic (among other things) that turned his eyes a brighter green, when before they were a dark and warm brown. A sort of unintentional consequence, rather than something he did intentionally.

Though that's just my opinion, this is a pretty neat headcanon too lololol

[askhubertvonvestra]

Oh bless your heart, Hubie. People with a sweet tooth want other people to enjoy sweets because it makes them happy, and they want other people to be happy!

By that logic, I should encourage them to drink coffee black in return. Bitter, robust flavors appeal to me, and I’m nothing if not dedicated to the contentment and success of my peers. When you’ve persuaded Her Majesty to drink sugarless coffee without even a drop of cream, I might be persuaded to attempt eating a small sampling of a sweet food. I can assure you, I won’t enjoy it any more than Lady Edelgard will suddenly find herself drinking coffee daily without any additions.

Morphine + Syringe, Worry (not shipping, just dumb interactions .-.)

KSDHFKSJD OKAY xD

Living so far apart they never interacted too much but Syringe could tell Morph was acting off - sure he tended to complain eagerly about that 'con guy but never in such a nervous manner.

- Wait... are you worried?

- WHAT NO, WHY THE FUCK WOULD I, IF HE'S NOT LISTENING TO ME THEN IT'S GONNA BE HIS OWN FUCKING FAULT WHEN HE DIES AND I AM NOT GONNA STOP THAT DUMBAFT!

He sat on the couch, offended that she would even think about it and sat there agitated for a while, just to get up abruptly, much to Syri's amusement.

- Ugh, screw it, I'm going after him!
