I think it can be true that certain lifestyle changes can help with pain and disability, but people really overplay how those changes will affect people's lives.
I've found that exercise has helped my back pain - I have had chronic back pain that PT didn't touch, but exercise has helped. However, what hasn't changed is what exasperates that pain, and when my pain is especially exasperated, it doesn't matter how much I exercise, I'll be in my bed trying so hard to get out, and I'll be seeing white. So, yes, exercise helped me, but it did not save me. That's an example of what I mean.
It's fine to give (solicited!!) advice to people about how to manage things like this. But I'm begging people to be realistic about this. Lifestyle changes can only do so much, and disabilities are - surprise! - disabling.

Gillion knowing the curse is taking hold, that he’s dying, unsure if there will be a fix, if they’ll get there in time. Using his time with Jay and Chip asking questions, and offering answers in return, so they at least won’t be caught unprepared if he dies with all the things they wanted to say - and using the opportunity to ask them about the little things. Chip’s favorite flavor, Jay’s favorite animal, what they love and what he loves too. Laying on that table when they make it to Featherbrooke, May Ferrin talking to him like he’s not dying at all, trying to keep him awake, keep him comfortable, and all he can talk about is Chip and Jay. There was nothing more important than imparting their knowledge, no other final words he might have wanted to share, because they are what is most important to him. All the little things that make up who he loves. He thought he was going to die, was dying, and he talked about raspberries, purely for the fact that it’s Chip’s favorite flavor.

I've been thinking it over and I think I know what Flug looks like under the bag. It's a boring theory, I apologize in advance
The first problem is I read somewhere that Black Hat makes him wear the paper bag because he finds Flug hideous. I don't know if that's canon. But if it's true, that's weird, because obviously Black Hat LIKES hideous things. So, it's probably the opposite. Flug must look pretty normal.
There's a lot of theories that Flug and Goldheart are brothers. Between Flug's family pictures (long to short: they imply him having a "golden child" brother), the way Ms. Heed treats Flug, and the way Goldheart talks about Flug... that's probably true.
So... Flug probably looks like the famous, heartthrob hero, Goldheart

just finished the new fantasy high episode and havent seen anyone talk abt this so i wanted to say i am 100. one HUNDRED PERCENT sure. that fuckin fourdogs was at that party invisibly (the One And Only buttfucker to NOT make an obvious appearance?? rules-follower or no, i dont believe that for a SECOND) and that she stole the piece of the cloud runner that went missing, and that the moment of her swipe was the "something" riz missed on his check -- i also really *hope* it wasn't oisin that made those damn ice mephits (or "muffets" as my beloved drunk adaine christened them lmao) act up like that, but immmmm pretty sure thats exactly what was goin on since it wouldve given his party member advantage/an easier access point :/

watching again while not having an anxiety attack the entire time and like,,
dan really said “phil you make me too happy you bring too much light and comfort and unconditional love and security and a sense of home and it’s so amazing i can’t get anything done bc i feel so safe we can’t live together anymore i need to be suffering to be productive” and i have never related more to anything in my life i am fully anticipating the day where i get down on one knee and say to my current girlfriend “i want to be with you for the rest of my life would you do me the honour of… living in the same area as me but not with me?” i will be living alone in a studio apartment broke and crying everyday while also being in a committed long term relationship thank you very much

I haven’t felt so much dopamine course through my body for a while until watching Andor ep10. Watching all the prisoners from Narkina 5 escaping, helping each other and running off while chanting “One Way Out” and all the guards hiding because THEY KNOW they can’t take them all is fucking incredible. Only for me to be fucking crushed when Kino says he can’t swim
His been wanting to be free for so long, only to find out he was going to die there anyway? And then Andor tells him about a plan and he follows through with it only to realise his probably going to die anyway? Either die in prison or drown in the ocean, there’s no fucking way out for him- and I absolutely hate that we don’t know what happened next.

Something about Knives punishing the monster (humanity) of his own creation, and taking advantage of Vash (jesus figure) to do so 🤔🤔🤔

Finished Watching Ark TAS last night and you would expect I would be super happy about getting MORE lesbian content than in canon but I can't with good conscience be happy for the sudden Helena and Mei stuff. Why the FUCK did they do that
