#and water pressure for days

[calicos-clones]

I don’t think people realize how freaked out fanfic readers get when their favorite author(s) doesn’t update their ongoing schedule ON TIME.

And it’s not cause we want the chapter…it’s cause we’re so fucking worried about the Author.

Like— OMG ARE YOU OKAY? YOU’VE BEEN GIVING US THE TRAGIC UPDATES OF YOUR LIFE IN THE NOTES THE PAST 10 CHAPTERS?! WHY STOP? ARE YOU DEAD? DID YOU GET STUCK IN THE WALL LIKE YOUR CAT?? HAVE YOU EATEN?? HAS YOUR BRAIN EXPLODED??

Readers no longer care about the story when they don’t get their usual update. We panic and flag S.O.S as we track down our wayward author who has been both blessed by the universe with a creative mind and cursed all the same with the worst luck.

So any authors who are reading this please understand— when we comment “hey are you okay?” in your comments. No, we are not asking about the chapter.

We are legitimately concerned for your wellbeing. Do not force yourself to shit out a chapter just to appease other ppl when you yourself are not in the mental state to enjoy it or even write it to begin with.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF DAMMIT

#yes this is targeted #I hope authors read this and understand that we all care abt you #ao3 fanfic #ao3 #ao3 memes #I am frightened by how nonchalantly authors drop the most tragic life changing experiences in the notes and are like #“it might be a day or two late but don’t worry! #wdym don’t worry? #I’m worrying for YOU! #eat something #drink water #cry or something idk #stop writing to runaway from your issues #take care of yourself dammit T^T #don’t let assholes run an author’s comment section #support your authors #they will write when they can #you can wait as long as they need #burnout is very real and very draining #DO NOT pressure authors #appreciate what they’ve done for you so far #authors love to create— they will always give you more if you make sure you water them #with love #and understanding #and maybe some actual water cause who knows when they showered #memes #fanfic #fanfic meme #author awareness

the thing they don't warn you about freshly pierced ears is the Sleep Anxiety

#im so worried about like... irritating them / ripping them out in my sleep #what if they get caught on one of my many blankets or pillows hm... #last night was the first night with 'em and i already had a stress dream #which unfortunately was one of those double deckers where The Demons™️ try to get me #but geez. #i arranged my bedding in such a way that im kinda sitting up and my head is stabilized enough so that i dont turn onto my side #or put pressure on my ~lobes~ #thus begins a long couple of months of Healing #cant wait to take these babeys out and switch things up #not that i dont like the ones i have for the healing process!! im very happy with them!!! #but Ough. monkey brain impatient.... #absolutely unprompted #i got a uhhh Saline Spray to clean em #and im so worried im gonna run out way prematurely #my depth perception and spatial awareness is a little... Off... #so it takes 2-3 attempts to actually Spray The Piercing #i end up wiping water off of my face and neck lmfao. my hair is Dripping every time #its just a general air of Paranoia #the last time i pierced my ears was years ago and i got a nasty ass infection that put me off of it until. like. a day ago #i was convinced this time bc it was done professionally with a needle and everything #INFINITELY better. lots of fun. i feel somewhat confident that it'll heal correctly #even if my bank account wont. But Its Worth It Tho Its Worth It- #and Yes im procrastinating sleep #my ability to scribble abruptly tanked so maybe ill write a bit instead #see if the artism Transferred

so while i do think hinata loves parties and dancing and all that - i mean just look at him, he is the most extroverted energy-filled guy, ofc he loves parties - he does all of it stone-cold sober like there is no universe where hinata gets drunk on nights out, don't you know he has training in the morning?? also like the main reason people drink on nights out is like as a social lubricant or to relax and let loose, and hinata - besides being mindful of his health - does not need anyyy help in that regard that little sunshine is just as bubbly and enthusiastic as a normal person might be three drinks in

#idk i feel strongly about this #like in canon we're shown that he choses not to drink as part of staying healthy #which you could say is shonen rules but i don't think so hq!! doesn't shy away at all from showing its (of age) characters drinking #and it always pulls me out of fics or w/e when people talk about hinata drinking or getting drunk at parties bc like.... #that's just so not like him #i understand it's just a bit of fun #but i think shou is just as fun if not more when he's sober why are we the fandom peer pressuring him??? #just know if ever i write shou at a party he has been on water and lemonade the whole night #anyways #those are my thoughts for the day #hinata shouyou #haikyuu #alcohol mention tw

Reflections

(not a pr0mpt)

******

“I think I know what your problem is.”

Villain ignored the fact that Hero had snuck in. She was already there- no need wasting breath on how. “I don’t remember having a problem.”

Hero was sat on the windowsill as Villain now noticed. Her feet dangled against the wall, beside the sink. “You try too hard. You feel yourself slipping into a good mood so you destroy yourself for it. Darkness is comfort.”

“Poetic,” Villain remarked.

“I’m serious.”

“As am I.”

Hero sighed from her place in Villain’s home. “Why do you do it?” she asked finally. Villain could tell the question had been weighing on her. All those times she fell behind on his schemes- when she’d look him in the eye, and Villain could see there was something missing. It had been an answer. “What are you trying to prove to yourself?”

“You’re troubled.”

“I’m not,” Hero argued. “You are.” But Villain knew better.

He sat at the kitchen island. Putting an arm out in a welcoming manner, Villain invited Hero to sit, as well.

She shook her head at first. Expected.

“I won’t bite,” Villain assured.

Still, she seemed uncomfortable. Villain didn’t push any further in that regard, but he did say, “Tell me, then.”

"What?"

Villain blew a cold breath against the surface of his coffee before taking a sip. "Tell me what doubts you're having."

With a scoff, Hero kicked her feet against the wall, propelling herself off the windowsill and onto the ground. Her feet landed with a soft thud. She raised a finger but Villain cut her off-

"You're defensive. That means I'm right." He took another long sip of his coffee. Hummed. "Did you expect me to be bothered that you broke in?"

Given her strawberry cheeks, Villain imagined so. He shrugged. It wasn't his problem; he was just making coffee. What could Hero do to stop him?

"Listen," Villain said, "I'm not in the mood for an emotional interrogation, so why don't you sit down and I'll make you a warm mug of coffee."

When she didn't respond, Villain volunteered himself anyway. He stood from the kitchen island and abandoned his mug to pluck another from the cabinet. "French vanilla or caramel macchiato?" he asked, as he then opened the fridge.

"Neither?"

"You drink your coffee black?" Villain wasn't sure why this made him smile, but it did.

"If it's not a dark roast, yes."

"It's light."

She nodded. "Then nothing in it. Please. Uh- thank you."

"That means you'll have a cup with me?"

Hero nodded. When Villain placed the mug in front of her, she watched the steam rising from it- considered it as if it were poisoned straight from the pot. "Villain?" she said, and swallowed. "I have something to tell you."

#not a pr0mpt #Reflections #hero x villain #hero x villain story #hero x villain snippet #hero x villain drabble #heroes and villains #hero #villain #guys #i've been writing this one for several days. #my eyes are swollen. they burn. they itch. #my nose is stuffy and simultaneously runny. pouring snot the consistency of water. #my ears have so much pressure in them that it defies the ability of every god i've ever known. #ms sandy told me to pour peroxide down my ears. that will clear it all away she said. #but that scares me. #liquid? in my ears? ah? that just sounds like a no no. not to mention- i has no peroxide at work. and even if we did- i don't think they #would be okay with me using it to pour it down my ear holes. i feel like they would question that #anyway. i almost made an inside joke in this story. when villain asked hero what creamer she wanted- i almost said butter. #why did you almost say butter dee? #because my pappaw used to use butter as a creamer for his coffee. #he also fed one of the cats butter on a nightly basis. that cat's fur was ridiculously soft.

i was GOING to say that i understand the importance of the intense cop training now because

BRUH. no good asian kid hears a spooky voice calling your name and fucking looks around for who's calling. no, you shit yourself and nonchalantly walk away and don't fucking look

but ACTUALLY, you know what, a hot lady in a skintight outfit would have got me too

#the sign the series #seriously! alone in a deserted place and some disembodied voice calls for you? FUCKING HIT THE BRICKS!!! #his super advanced 'don't shit yourself under pressure' training is the only logical explanation here #and i'm sure it's not just asians but like #when i was a kid my aunt NEVER let me go outside around midday #because that was the spooky time apparently #i can only imagine the absolute shitfit she'd have if i was outside alone AT NIGHT by some spooky fucking water caves #salt purification FOR DAYS

[arashi-no-saxlphone]

Tell me why it took me two years to realize you get something off of counterhit close slash anywhere on screen. I was sitting in training today like "This sucks the 5P > 6K gravity on wallbounce is so bad now you can't get a Rainwater pickup" which is when I applied the classic Axl rule of "Sometimes just doing 5P will give you the most beautiful gravity you've ever seen and let you combo for free" and then my corner combo was working and then I was like "Can I get something other than c.S > TKB > Oki in mid screen" and I am so mad. What the hell dude. Most intelligent Axl player I'm gonna scream.

Some protips if you're like me and hate the post wallbreak situation in this game: you can always jump over during the timestop and send them the other way with TKB and just set up oki with Whistling Wind for a reset - damage is about the same anyway cause of the scaling by the end of the combo near the wall. I like to go for resets and sideswaps rather than wallbreaks with Axl against opponents who have too many resources to make your safejump reliable or against Sol Badguy who just doesn't have to hold an area shift wallbreak cause he's Daisuke's special boy (I love him too Daisuke but that doesn't make it any less bullshit (blazing)).

I love One Vision very much.

#guilty gear #sairambles #axl low #ggst #saiplays #cannot fucking believe how dumb I am dude #“You can convert with your time stop super” yeah water is wet #the day my reaction time becomes not garbage it's OVER for all of you #When I can instantly confirm the big counterhits into one vision reliably then it'll be MY turn to eat your lifebar #today was good day on Strive for me I'm starting to see where I'm going wrong most of the time #Doesn't make me any happier about Axl offence though haha #Bridget I love you but please... how do I leave your pressure #<-You do not

#okay the leech is gone and i took some time to sit outside #it's a very pool water summer day and that makes me feel nostalgic and okay #very 'summer of 8th grade when my biggest concerns were drawing new characters and looking at cool stuff on DA' #i'm going to try to record more and maybe then play more games to relax before i have to head to a meeting with my boss #i will say this much: #in spite of the on and off stress and occasional acidic brain pain #i think the fact that i finally started watching movies and playing games again is a sign that this semester off was good for me #because before this i'd limited myself to m a y b e one or two rounds of pmd dungeon crawling and that was it #back to working on either job things / school things / or personal deadline things #it feels good to attend to my whims and go through natural cycles of creating and recharging #instead of pressuring myself constantly to just make make make #to make up for the fact that my ADHD makes it difficult to stay with anything for long (and thus i had little to show for my work) #anyway w #time to record w

neurologist says my optic nerves are fine/same as last few appointments but still tells me to start taking 12 diamox a day and tells me to get out before i can ask why . also diamox like. cannot fix an issue involving my veins. but idk im not doctor so whatever

im 100% not taking 12 pills a day tho thatd hurt me. past few appointments hes just been rlly wanting me to have more diamox even tho he keeps saying im in remission but he wont answer when i ask why i need the meds then

#frank.txt #diamox doesnt even fix venous stenosis . its a diuretic that fixes like. pressure and water distribution n stuff #my jugular vein is too small and the blood flow sounds are simply Too Loud. its not effecting anything long term #but its causing migraines and nausea which is why ive been sleeping 24/7 . like my life has been sleeping. smoke. make coffee. read news #also i have never heard of someone taking 12 diamox a day. especially when im IN REMISSION #unfortunately its fatphobia. my neurologist is less concerned with my brain now and more concerned with making me smaller #which diamox already did and it was hell. #anyway im not going on 12 pills a day . that will just make me more sick. sticking with 4 and just seeing if it helps w Everything #the big thing is my optic nerves r still good at least. and my brain is too. its just my damn veins #theyre simply too small for my big blood... #fatphobia m #idk tagging that just in case #sorry minor venting abt medical shit. this disease is just annoying bc i do not feel like im in remission and i feel like they just #say that without knowing what it means #like theres no more damage and im basically all good but i still FEEL sick. like . idk its just Annoying #idk annoying is an understatement its distressing but i am learning 2 cope with it #just in a bad flare up or Sick Moment idk #long post #kinda idk #im FINE just mad

william nylander resonates with me in a very specific manner and i don't even think i could put it into words properly so i won't even try but just know that in terms of temperament and personality — at least the way he presents himself publicly — he is just! for me. you know. a guy for me to hold in my heart and not even be able to talk about in any meaningful way because i feel so protective over like... not even him. but my own feelings in relation to him!!!

#boy who is so easygoing and warm #boy who stands unflinching at the center of trade rumors and criticism from media and fans alike #boy who lets those barbed words slide off his back like water off a duck #boy who slides quietly into playing second fiddle to his superstar teammates comfortably and without even seeming to notice #boy who is so very cerebral and creative on the ice despite fans treating him like he plays on vibes only #boy who's incandescent with the puck on his stick; who's untouched by the unrelenting pressure of the market he plays in #boy whose roots run deep and true to all his homes and people that built him #boy who loves openly and with joy #boy who wants to laugh with others; never at them #boy who can command a room with ease — and knows it!!! #boy who takes care to share himself with all who'd partake; boy who takes equal care to keep his own life his #boy who never gets his due credit for being so emotionally intelligent #boy who's been settled deeply into my heart since before his junior days; boy i could cry over for how fond i am #only boy in the world to me do u get it. #meg.txtpost

what’s really embarrassing is my roommate on the phone with his mom saying “yeah i’ve been getting really sloppy i haven’t cleaned in a week it’s terrible” and my side of the room is just like that. all of the time. and i feel guilty but he also hasn’t ever said anything to my face he moved my stuff some at the beginning of the year but has never talked to me about it and i’m also so fucking ill that i just cant really handle adding that to my list while trying to also not fail school. so here i am being a terrible person i guess. did i tell you guys about turtle-person. have i showed my bracelets. i’m gonna go to sleep but in the morning i need to show my bracelets

#help i have work tomorrow. i also feel sick and strange. wish me luck #the sun was around today which was incredible but also i think it gave me too much mental energy #cause for the first time in forever i had the brightness of spirit to go for a walk. but that’s not the same as having the blood flow for it #so i think i overexerted myself cause of being finally happy and mentally energized i forgot about being physically disabled #i also had to explain POTS to somebody today and she was literally like ‘oh is that the thing where you need to have salt’ and NO like #i do have a really high salt intake to cope with POTS. but that’s not the fucking thing yknow?? like no that’s not what the thing i have is #it has nothing to do with salt. salt is a fun little coincidence that it can help with water retention which in turn helps with POTS #and it raises blood pressure is i think the other reason? but anyway idk i would honestly rather she just not know about it than have like #that very particular tiktok version of it like i am so glad for internet knowledge being spread and stuff and i mean. i guess even the posts #that i’m about to complain about are good for making people feel like they’re not alone. so maybe it’s fine. but i was going to complain of #the videos that are like ‘‘that one POTS friend’’ and it’s just like. salty food. instead of like. having to sit down?? BEING FATIGUED?? #and like whatever. whatEVER but i wish it wasn’t getting conflated with one particular little way of treating it. even though i use that way #i don’t have needs-a-lot-of-salt-disease. like that’s not the point. that’s not the issue. it’s not a salt deficiency. salt just helps #and it doesn’t FIX it. it just helps. that’s all #ANYWAY EVERYTHING IS FINE. i feel sick though. but i’m gonna sleep and i’ll be fine #i miss before i had a job cause then i could sleep all day if i skipped class and it would be really nice. but now i have a job i would be #missing on my responsibilities for. and I don’t actually have accommodations. but im gonna sleep i’ll be fine #and library book cart is actually so rollator. like as far as being able to walk the library situation is such a win #anyway i’m gonna go to sleep now. but yeah idk i’m sick and a mess what else is new. but i have something whatever i’m good theres something #unrequited love for life or something like that. ok im gonna go to bed sorry for being weird and strange all the time!!!! #me. my post. mine. #delete later

My friend suggested I try this, so I did. The black was my attempt at trying to make purple. Clearly, I failed.

Turns out my tap water has had abnormal levels of chlorine for the past few days.... Which makes sense since i have all symptoms of chlorine poisoning includong super blurry vision and burning stomach and lungs and skin but i have nothing to wash it with because all my water is FULL OF CHLORINE!!!!

#Going crazy here!!! Also i have low blood pressure and can't breathe and I've been shaking uncontrollably for the past fee days #And i feel severely dehydrated! #I drank tea with this water too WHAT THE FUCK #SICK!!!!!

Hey y’all! Do you have any recommendations for shower chairs? Like, features to look for, definitely look for one with this, definitely don’t want one with that, stuff like that

#the person behind the yarn #I think something foldable would be helpful for storage? possibly? #I'm also leaning towards 'not wood' but idk if that's logical or just my brain going wood + water = rot #...but boats exist #hm. I know very little about this lol #I just really want to take a shower but my blood pressure is too low to safely take one right now #and I think a shower chair would help #(in case this post breaks containment and gets to people who are like 'why is your blood pressure so low': #it's chronic. been happening for like ten years now. The doctors do not know why it happens but I do have meds for it #the meds help but some days it just crashes and there's nothing I can do about it) #(my diagnosis from doctors is 'well that's not supposed to happen')
