Today I actually went out and had lunch with someone I knew as a kid! In fact, one of 7-8 people who shared a particular foundational experience. Specifically, one of my classmates from Religious School. We've been trying to get together for ages and it was just so great to talk to her, and we're in very similar places in our lives. To the point where we had similar issues working in the two schooling systems operating out of our synagogue, and might work together on something at some point. She's bi, we're both adhd and autistic with adult diagnoses (though she's still trying to find somewhere to get an official autism diagnosis as an adult). So yeah, we clicked on a lot of things and were able to mutually appreciate inevitable tangents.

We also talked about gender and sexuality and how that was treated, because our town is very liberal and leftist and our rabbi set up a talk for our class about those subjects when we were eleven or so, and both the sex positivity and the specific refutation of the parts of scripture that were being used (and still are) very much stuck with us...but it was still 2006. Even spaces that were more overt in acceptance of gay people were extremely hetero- and cis-normative. When the speaker told us that sex between man and wife on Shabbos was something holy, none of us were going to ask "Hey, what about gay couples?" because gay marriage wasn't even legal in most of the US. But those are questions kids are going to ask now, and even if they don't, we need to make a space to talk about them.

All of this is a conversation I could happen with a lot of people though, and it was just great to talk about *our synagogue* and its place in *our lives* having grown up there together. But one of the best parts was honesty the moment when we were talking about school early on and *she* said that she is always kind of like "ehhhh...not really though?" when people talk about our class being this all-girl class. Because that was unusual and kind of how we were identified by the community, and we were generally considered this really great group of kids to the point that teachers specifically changed years or put off retirement to get to teach again. But of course, we weren't. And I'm really unsure of how to feel about that, because the class was great and important to me, but it basically made my identity in the community fundamentally based on my gender, while my unidentified gender dysphoria grew. It's just one more thing to reconcile in a very gendered religion, and I'm sure I'll post about it again like 300 times, because the original point wasn't really about the details of that struggle.

My original point is that my friend understands the experience that went with that specific group, the weight that it had, what the community was like in a way that someone who didn't experience it can't, even if my experience was still much different to hers, especially since I was, to my knowledge, the only one that actually *wasn't* a girl. And I haven't talked to someone who shared that on a serious level for at least ten years, before I even realized that "nonbinary" was really an identity I could have.

My second original point was that in telling me that she had basically the same "cringe and kind of correct" response to people describing our class this way, and doing it before me, she showed me that she thinks about me and thinks of me as being *not a girl* to the extent that she will immediately recognize a phrase that refers to a group identity that we shared for a huge portion of our childhood, even without me being mentioned specifically, as incorrect. And will say something (ish; I don't know her exact response but even if a kind of cringe and shake of the head or something is all she does, I would be happy with that. My response would be pretty similar and it's honestly just not worth it to get into a conversation about that with anyone who talks about our class and isn't going to respond to that body language, at least for such a small thing (or at least, small for them.)

#ramble #i'm actually curious how many people know i'm trans/nonbinary.#our core group of 20 or so that regularly attends Saturday service is literally 25% queer people at LEAST #and i think three of the five people are not cis #and there is not really any question to whether I'm trans or not when I show up with a full beard and a dress #not that cis guys can't wear dresses #but most people are going to assume and anyone who's been at Schul for at least 10 years probably knows I'm AFAB #at least if they're active in the community #My dad is also pretty well-known in the community from his work in the religious school over the last 10+ years #and a lot of older members knew me when I was an actual fetus. and schul. so like.#gossip?#but idk how much

Inspired by a convo in the writing server and by Mamo's salty Jade, I wrote some fluffy-ish Yoru and Floyd mountain "date" nonsense. No warnings except bad grammar.

_______________________________________________________

“Hey Fugu-chan do you wanna come fight a monster with me?” Floyd had pulled himself through Yoru’s window as usual to interrupt her studies.

“Floyd, it’s 1pm, don’t you have class?”

“Ehhh I don’t wanna go, its the same boring stuff every day anyway” He perched in her windowsill urging her to follow him.

“Where’s this monster?” She grinned and put her books down, Floyd had a point. Fighting was always more fun than studying.

“In the mines where we went camping! I wanna see if I can find another one!” he insistently waved for her to hurry up.

“Still mad you didn’t get to go all out last time, huh?” She stretched out her shoulders and joined him at the window.

“Mhmmm~ Now that I have my magical pen back I want to play some more ehe!” She laughed and hopped out the window behind him.

They landed at the mouth of the caves, Yoru letting him down from her talons before touching down on the ground beside him. He sprinted into the tunnels with a grin on his face, shouting for any monsters to show up to play. Yoru flew behind him trying to stifle her laughter, he looked like a kid on a sugar high.

“Eeeeehhhh Fugu-chan this is taking foreverrrrrrr” He whined after half an hour in the caves with no appearance of any monsters. “Can’t you use your magic and find one?” he begged. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

“That's not how my magic works Floyd, I can only see through crows, not through rocks. I’m the only bird in these caves so unless there’s a hidden crows nest somewhere I can’t help”

“Huh? Then what good is your unique magic then?” he complained, crossing his arms

“Says the guy who can only deflect magic, wouldn’t stop me taking your head off-” They were interrupted by a low rumbling coming from the path behind them. They turned to the sound, another Overblot monster materializing from the darkness. Floyd cheered, happy that his foe had finally appeared.

“Awe maaaaaan, Floooooyd, you never said it was an overblot monster! I can’t fight this!” Yoru complained as the monster descended on them.

“Eeeh? Why not? This is fun!” Floyd danced out of the way of the monster, hitting it with some magic of his own to keep it away from them.

“I can’t do magic, remember? All I can do is see. My hands and feet won’t do shit to that thing” She pouted, sitting on the ground with a huff, resigned to watch Floyd fight it on his own. He was clearly enjoying himself, hitting it with spell after spell. Yoru watched on in envy, how amazing would it be to be able to do magic like that. She watched him dance around the monster, attacking with reckless abandon, his own unique magic deflecting the attacks thrown at him.

Yoru sighed resting with her head in her hands, eyes following the battle. Floyd really was incredible, so much so it pissed her off. He made it seem so effortless. Fire, grass, water, ice, wind, dark… every kind of magic she’d dreamed of having Floyd was throwing out without a care in the world, this level of effort was nothing to him, when she couldn't even change the colour of a single flower petal. After what seemed like hours the glass head on the monster cracked, it’s ink splashing to the ground. It roared and the walls around them shook.

“Hey Floyd, you should finish up, if this thing collapses the cave around us we’re screwed” she said flatly, watching small rocks fall from the ceiling.

“Okay Fugu-chaaaaan~ Let me show you my special move, just look at how amazing I am!” He unleashed his strongest attack yet, Yoru wasn’t able to conceal her admiration for him. Her jaw dropped.

“Holy shit… you’re actually incredible…” she muttered, more annoyed than ever at how talented he was. The monster crumbled before them, disappearing into ink and sinking back into the ground. Floyd cheered.

“Yaaaayyyy!! That was fun!” he looked exhausted. His hair was a mess and he drenched in sweat, but the grin he wore was one of the biggest Yoru had ever seen. It was quite cute. She nodded at him and held out her arm in case he needed to lean on her, she wasn’t sure how he was still standing after expending so much magic in such a short time. He stretched his arms behind his head, not needing her assistance.

“We should have a fire too! Come on Fugu-chan!” He grabbed her hand and ran from the cave, staggering when they got outside and saw that the sun had already begun to set. “Uwaaahhh I’m tired all of a sudden, carry me Fugu-chan” She laughed. It seemed Floyd wasn’t invincible after all.

She flew to the shore of the lake, setting him down near an old decaying log. Somewhere along their flight he’d fallen asleep. She set to work gathering firewood, setting the wood in a way that would be easy to ignite once he woke up. When that was ready she wandered over to the lake to grab some fish, no sense not eating while they were out. They didn’t have any spices, but grilled fish was simple enough and delicious on it’s own. She wasn’t as proficient as catching fish with her bare hands as Floyd, but it still didn’t take her long before she’d caught half a dozen and brought them back to their impromptu base camp. The sun had fully set by the time she’d gotten the fish onto their skewers and shook Floyd awake so he could start the fire.

“Hmmm? When did I fall asleep?” He whined, confused by his surroundings

“When we were flying over here, you went limp almost immediately after we took off, I almost dropped you” Yoru grinned at him “Now can you get the fire going, I’m starving.” He nodded, using his magic to light the fire as she arranged the fish around it to cook.

“Wait, lemme see your pen” She said suddenly, able to see the once white gem clouded over with black ink in the firelight. She grabbed at it but he snatched it out of reach and shoved it back into his pocket. “Floyd, let me see it” Yoru growled at him, he pouted and handed it to her, he knew he wouldn’t be able to keep it from her if she fought him for it.

“Floyd… that’s a lot of blot… you need to be more careful. If you overblotted I’d have you kill you, I wouldn't be able to stop you with magic”

“Haaaah like you could, you saw how strong I am! Ahaha! What do you know about overblotting anyway, you can barely do magic!” He argued, turning the fish to roast their other sides.

“Hmmm? Didn’t I tell you? I overblotted once as a kid. It sucked”

“As a kid? Did you have magic when you were younger? What happened to it ehe~” He raised an eyebrow at her, curious at how she had lost her magic. She snorted

“No. I got my unique magic really young but I didn’t know what it was so I used it all the time since I didn’t know any better. Dad found me screaming in bed, said I had all these shadowy birds walking over and pecking at me, he still talks about it like it’s the worst thing he’s ever seen.” She rolled her eyes, thinking about Crowley's overly theatrical reactions to the lamest things.

Floyd cringed away from her, throwing his hands up. “Eugh that sounds so gross!” He sat forward again with a smile “But it’s funny knowing even without a lot of magic you can overblot”

“Yea, really funny” She glared at him. “How are you not ranked higher at school though? You’re so amazing it pisses me off”. He smirked at her

“Doing everything I’m supposed to is boring so I just do whatever I want and fail sometimes cause I don’t feel like doing it” He grabbed one of the fish, happily biting into it.

“That must be nice. I wish I could say I’m not jealous of your talent” She bit into her own fish, chewing it more fiercely than was necessary.

“Hmmmm why are you jealous though? You’re really smart too, Fugu-chan” He smiled and chowed down, very much enjoying his meal. Yoru groaned, she wasn't used to compliments.

“...Thanks. ...By the way, didn’t Jade say he wanted to come out here with you next time? Isn’t he going to be mad we came without him?” Floyd's eyes grew wide before settling back to normal

“Eeeehhhh probably, but I wanted to find that monster and Jade wouldn't come with me so it’s his fault anyway” he shrugged, carefully selecting his last fish.

“Maybe he won’t be that mad, it’s not like we really did much mountaineering up here anyway” Yoru shrugged, finishing her meal and throwing sand on the fire. “We should get back though, unlike you, I do have some homework I need to hand in because I’m not allowed to fail”

They landed back in the mirror chamber full of fish and tired from adventure.

“Hey, next time you find a monster make sure it's one I can fight too. I can’t help but want to show off what I can do without magic”

“Kaaaaay~!” Floyd sang, hopping through the mirror that would take him back to Octavinelle.

“Ahh Floyd, you’re back late, did you enjoy your date? You missed dinner, Azul was worried sick about you” Jade smirked at him from across their bedroom. Floyd flopped into his bed, exhausted. Fugu-chan was right, he’d used too much magic today and was still tired despite his earlier nap.

“Aha! Azul wouldn’t worry about something thing like that, besides he would have been mad at me for going to fight a monster and getting my uniform all dirty”

“Oya? A monster? You never mentioned there was a monster on campus” Jade chuckled

“Ehhhh? It wasn’t on campus, me and Fugu-chan went back to Mount Dwarf to fight with the overblot monster in the caves! It was really fun!” Jade slowly turned to glare at Floyd.

“Floyd… you returned to the mountains once again without me” He exhaled dramatically. “You found yourself a girlfriend and completely forgot about little old me, all alone and mountainless” He let out an exaggerated sigh “I can’t believe my own twin would discard me so carelessly, how cruel” Floyd sat up in bed, a frown painted on his face.

“haaaaaaaaahhhh you said you didn’t want to come! You can’t complain about it now”

“Perhaps it is for the best, I wouldn’t want to be a third-wheel after all... I’ll just make you come with me next time I go...” he muttered to himself under his breath

“Ehhh what are you even talking about Jade?” Floyd laid back down and stretched out into his blankets.

“While crashing a date seems like it would be a lot of fun, I don’t believe Yoru-san is very fond of me, and she does have a habit of getting violent when she’s angry. I wouldn’t care to be on the receiving end of those talons.”

“It wasn’t even a date” he complained, rolling away to face the wall. He hadn’t told Jade about his failed confession at Vargas’s weekend camp so the insinuations he and Yoru were dating stung. “...and she’s not even my girlfriend” he muttered into his pillow.

“Fufufu not yet” Jade chuckled to himself as Floyd started snoring.

S: That's super high, thank you

---

~About nicknames~

Q. Do you guys have nicknames that stuck?

S: Well, kaito kun, we talked about nicknames before right?

K: We did, i said i didn't like nicknames

S: Kaijin

K: AHhhhh, you just said it...

S: wwwww

K: You said it...I have to say something bad about you now

S: wwww no no no there's no such equivalent exchange. And about my nickname, do you remember what i said? Probably not right?

K: Piiman (green pepper)

S: OOH?! EHH?! Why do you remember it?

K: Coz it's you *__* HAHAHAHA

S: EHHHH sdkhskhfksdlfsdf this is crazy really

K: Hahahhaa

S: No no no, i've ran out of oxygen

K: Hahahhaa i'm also tired

S: That's amazing !

K: Yea it just came to mind

S: That was shocking, i mean like i'm sure no one remembered..... OHhh you remember wwww

K: Ahhhh, then they're on the same level as me probably

S: Amazing..... but yes, once we've become adults, we don't get called by nicknames anymore

K: That's true, like, calling each other by our names has more impact right?

S: That's true

K: There are not many Soma sans... and there are more Kaitos recently but, it's quite unique

S: Well.... Murase Ayumu san calls you Kaity alot right, is there anybody else who calls you that?

K: The first one who called me that was Nishiyama san

S: wwwww Kaity

K: He called me Kaitis

S: Kaitis (in koutarou voice), that's totally what he would say!! Koutarou wwwww

K: "Kaitis, you know.." all of a sudden, it was not because of a show or anything, the day before of some event, ah it was the day before "Get up Get live", he started calling me Kaitis

S: Ahhh

K: Kaits? I thought

S: Wwww

K: Well i was happy so i thought that's fine, but when we went on stage, he called me "kaito kun"

S: wwww He closed the distance and widened it again

K: And then Murase Ayumu started calling me Kaity behind my back

S: Stop with with the behind the back thing

K: Coz he calls me "kaito kun" on programmes

S: AHHAHAHHA

K: That's why i call him Murase san too

S: wwww

K: Come on, don't call me nicknames behind my back!

S: Yes, we'd like them to call us that nickname in front of us

K: It turns my mental state upside down you know, like *sigh* irritates me, ahhaa

S: You give up in the end. Well nicknames right?

K: What do you want to be called?

S: Well, my name, maybe something unrelated to my name?

K: Piiman then

S: That piiman thing came from Soma piiman which became Sosama piiman, that's why. I say this but it doesn't make sense. And i won't approve it though! The me back then won't

S: If juniors call your name, would "kaito san" be more preferrable?

K: Ahhh

S: Than Ishikawa san. I would be more happy if they call me Soma san

K: Well I would be glad but there are not many who call me kaito san in the first place

S: ......Well moving on!

K: My seniors call me Kaito san though

S: wwww

K: Well when i ask them why they said, "well, nah, you know, you are older than me so"

S: wwwww stop it!

K: "Please let me call you kaito san!"

S: That gets messy

K: That guy, Tasuku kun

S: HAHAHHAA

K: When will he.... the unfair part about it is that he calls Yoshiki san who is a little more senior that I am, "Yoshiki"

S: That makes you feel a little sad right?

K: So, what? you hate me?

S: Exactly that, that

K: When i asked him that, he was like, "no no it's not like that, kaito san, you have this, p p presence"

S: Hahahahaa

K: "I'm telling you!" hahaha

S: That happens right....

K: Even though i'm older than he is i have fewer years of experience

S: yeahhh

K: So i keep asking him why

S: Yesss, I would like Tasuku kun to talk to me in the casual form and call me by my name, and Taku as well! Taku talks to be in casual form but calls me Soma san

K: Ehhh? Is that so?

S: Yes Yes Yes

K: Ah Oh Ah, then, i'm sorry hahaha

S: Well not that I MIND it

K: Because, "kun" is not right, right?

S: Eh?

K: I call you Soma san too, and talk to you in casual form

S: But ... you know... I got used to it..kaito kun is you see..I...speak... i'm like trying to analyse here but, you said that you don't like to call me "soma kun"

K: I don't like it, and i did that once during a programme

S: Like slipped it in

K: Although you realised

S: I just accepted it. But for kaito kun, it's settled, but for Taku and Tasuku i feel sad

K: True, Yashiro kun.... keeps his distance i think

S: wwww

K: Shall we get him on the show again

S: Call... yes let's!

K: And properly ask him about it

S: Like recently when i had a job with Taku, when i said "really thanks for that time on dameraji" and he was like, "ahhhh" He had a really hard time apparently

K: Oh is that so?

S: We should get him on a normal episode where he can relax and have a relaxing chat

K: Get him on the show and ask, "Why do you call me soma SAN?"

S: No no no no, wwwww

K: WHY? you speak casually to me though? why do you call me soma SAN?

S: He'll just be, "Because..."

K: "Because, kaito kun does it too right?" Then we'll start this convo again

so i think i’ve hit upon the perfect devious defence for wars in e&p!

costume kiril for -33%ish nerf to enemy’s attack and defence

jean-francois for nice burn chip damage, but ALSOOO for that cool, yet kinda weird? defence buff that increases defence for all allies when def-down nerf is cast, neg’ing the effect (important later!). will also start putting wizard emblems into him when max levelled!

costume-kashhrek for, well. tank, and it can tank, with its 1800ish hp with this green mana troop. also went with costume one bc of how prevalent max hp reduction specials there are now with the introduction of season 3, and its special reverses that!

killhare the queen bunny! whose special be kindaaa nasty, nglllll, BUT! the crucial thing here! with JF firing first, and hopefully his effect lasting until killhare can fire, the -20% to allies’ defence is both resisted AND is turned into a ??? +20% def gain? maybe? idk but either way it’s GOOD!

guardian owl finally, we got the most dapper owl you’ll probs ever see. placed on wings as an endgame, ‘last survivor’ choice. he is a chonkyyyy tank, and with his special increasing in power per dead ally, well.... i expect him to pretty much clean up 👀

so i wanted to post the above here, since well... last time i tried on the forums or reddit..... everyone came down on me for using the following mono-purple/dark team for raid defence.... when it easily keeps me in diamond? so what’s the actually problem? looool

it also slayyyyyyysssssss in light/yellow titan fights, btw 😉 like we’re talking 60k - 80k, done to 6 star and 7 star light/yellow titans! mostly thanks to freya!

i suppose i could improve it if i had a less self-damaging 5* purple choice than killhare, which kinda sucks here since freya can’t get off her def up effect 🤔 i dooo have an aeron that i could switch out instead of rigard.... but.... ehhhh... !

finally! meet my ‘for the future’ project.... sinceee after ascending JF, i only have like, 5 mystic rings left, with a total of 12 needed to fully ascend both lady loki and black knight ! this one will be another defence focused team, possiblyyyy a replacement for my mono-dark one as i’m.... gradually growing bored of it right now to be perfectly honest?

i’m defo excited for the 3 chances of 100% damage for each helheim hero that dies (shadereave/lady loki/stonecleave). i also wanna see how stonecleave’s special, and shadereave’s special with the ally revive works out! really wanna emblem both of these 4 stars for this defence!

also threw in two avalon family members, bc.... *shrugs?* they are both more on the tanky side, i believe, and i bet black knight will frustrate foes to no end in flank position! mwah!

okay so... last wednesday, i had a weird heart attack-ish event and reluctantly went to the ER, where the bloodwork indicating whether or not i had a heart attack was iffy and weird but they decided that i was aight and sent me home. but for days afterward, i had residual heart pain, pain and difficulty breathing, weakness/fatigue, constant palpitations, and my heart felt like it was straining with every beat. when i made my follow-up appointment w/ my primary doc (which is necessary following an ER visit,) the front desk asked if still had these symptoms, i was like ‘yeah it’s less severe but still sux,’ so they transferred me to the nurse, who told me ‘uhhh you need to go back to the ER.’ so last monday, i got to enjoy yet another ER visit, which was similarly uneventful. they didn’t run bloodwork for anything (?!) but told me again that it wasn’t a heart attack.

the attending ER doc asked me where the pain was, so i indicated my whole chest; when he checked for tenderness, the right side was painful because in retrospect i unwittingly subluxed my sternum (thx EDS) and when he asked if that’s where the heart attack-ish thing occurred, my tired ass mistakenly said ‘yeah’ even though it occurred on the left (where, you know, the heart is.) i have this thing where i’m intimidated by doctors bc i want to be a doctor, and i’m always worried that they think i’m a fool, so i panic and occasionally mis-report shit. this is bad bc my heart still sux (my sternum on the other side of my chest is still subluxed but the pain is dull, which is a diff kind of pain than whatever my heart is doing.) i may or may not have completely screwed myself, bc something did happen to my heart that i have never experienced b4, something that scared me even tho i’m usually not scared by the annoying stuff my body does. i may never know what actually happened, and when i lay down at night i’m suddenly hit by the realization that my inability to correctly report my symptoms might leave me open to having another heart episode like that, which will again be dismissed bc my shitty misreporting is on record and might be the eternal comparison for any future episodes i may ever have.

still, the ER doc was cool and didn’t dismiss me, since i’m chronically ill and have pre-existing cardiac issues (sinus tachycardia, which is thankfully controlled by meds.) he told me that there must be an underlying cause for whatever is causing me to feel like i’m having heart attacks; it’s not EDS, so i asked if it was my fibro, and he said ‘ehhhh i think it’s something else.’ i’m currently going through a painfully slow process of multiple docs trying to figure out some mysterious neurological symptoms i’ve had for a year and a 1/2 now (embarrassingly obvious muscle spasms, numbness/loss of sensation, tingling/burning pain, weakness, tremors that are way worse than before, a couple episodes of vision loss, and some other weird shit i’m forgetting) which i suspect is MS, but my docs are either tentative or dismissive about it, despite MRI results that suggested demyelination. he checked out the areas that have lost sensation (left foot and lower leg, upper left of my back) and told me that there’s definitely something there. he said that MS diagnoses are tricky, but it’s not impossible, which is terrifying bc he only spent like 10 minutes examining me but still concluded that MS should be given more consideration.

what’s currently worrying me now tho is the thing i didn’t go to the ER for -- my kidneys. i’ve had kidney pain for like a week and a 1/2 now, but since i’m used to having daily back pain i’ve been dismissing it, and my heart issues eclipsed any concern for my kidneys. however, my urinalysis from both visits looks bad. like, i don’t want to go wild with assumptions b4 i see a doc, but i have protein, blood, granular casts, high levels of WBCs, bacteria, AND epithelial tissue in my results. i’m p sure that those results loudly scream ‘KIDNEY DYSFUNCTION HOLY SHIT!!1′ which isn’t a UTI (i’d feel that) so i’m thinking kidney infection? this is gr8 bc none of my illnesses cause kidney involvement. for whatever reason, the nurse in the ER asked me like 5+ times if i had a fever at any point recently, and i’m like ‘idk i don’t rly take my temperature but i guess i get rly hot sometimes?’ are they worried about inflammation? nothing i have causes inflammation. i’ve also become rly dramatically photosensitive lately (i can’t be in the sun for even 2 seconds without feeling like my body is going to collapse) and i’ve been irritated when applying makeup lately bc i’m getting redness in my cheeks and a lil bit on my nose, so i’ve started using tinted moisturizer and concealer even tho i’ve never rly used those.

all of these things that have been annoying me (kidney pain that i have literally all day all of the time, randomly getting rly hot, being suddenly intolerant to sunlight, and this weird redness on my face) might be adding up to something serious. i have this sinking feeling that shit’s about to get real for me, in a way it hasn’t before. SLE runs in my family. the same woman i inherited bipolar 1 from has SLE. i fucking brought up the possibility of SLE to a former doc when i was 18, got practically laughed out of his office. i brought it up a few years ago again, got a negative ANA, got referred to a rheum anyway who said i was fine (which made me feel like such a fool, esp bc a student doc was there which always makes it worse.) i will SCREAM if, after all, i have SLE. i will scream. like i honestly cannot handle another chronic bullshit thing but i’m trying to live in denial until i see a doc

whatever

LISTEN Y'ALL, HERES A CANADIAN COLLOQUIALISMS AND MANNERS GUIDE

because frankly i’m tired of the misuse of our colloquialisms/slang/vernacular/manners/habits in fic so it’s time for this canadian to set the record straight!!!!!

1. “sorry”

i feel like y'all really miss the boat on this, we (henceforth read as: canadians) say sorry ALL. THE. TIME. it's not a joke!! it's real bad!!! i apologize to furniture when i bump into it, y'all!!!! SO if you wanna give jack and ransom some real authentic canadian lingo, have them apologize for nothing worth apologizing for, not just in excess when they do something actually worthy of apology

examples (all based on REAL LIFE things i’ve done):

*someone bumps into you* (even though it wasn’t your fault at all) oop sorry!

*not having exact change in your hand when paying for something so you take a second to pull out a nickel* sorry!

*dropping something near/in front of/beside another person* oh sorry!

*asks for substitution or change to a burger or sandwich* sorry, yeah can i get this instead of this? (and have crippling anxiety while asking just me? hoookay that sounds fake but!!!)

2. holding the door open

listen i didn’t realize how distinctly canadian this was until i was abroad for 2 weeks and felt the real switch from small acts of manners and kindness replaced with absolutely no fucking care in the world for any human that isn’t you. stairwells and doors and any form of public transportation are an “every person for themselves” kinda deal and it’s weird. i will always hold the door open if i notice someone behind me (if i don’t, you bet ur fuckin ass i apologize for not holding it open)

examples:

even if i get to a door first, if i notice someone behind me i’ll hold the door open for them and let them go first. this isn’t even an age or sex/gender thing, people will do this for anyone, not just the elderly or the female.

if someone holds the door open for me, i’ll pass through and say thank you and if there’s a second set of doors (like in some bookstores and malls and stuff they have those little foyer-like rooms before the actual store) i will hold the door open for them on the second set. always.

3. “bud”/”buddy”

truly a canadian staple that does not get utilized enough!!!! i can’t think of a single person in my life i haven’t called “buddy” at least once, including my lil ol’ grandmother. though typically when i use “buddy” i’m cussing someone out (see examples below!) we sound particularly minnesotan when we say "buddy” which is why i think a lot of people think we have this ridiculous accent (because FUN FUCKIN FACT: the canadian accent is NOWHERE NEAR THE LEVEL OF MINNESOTAN!!! we. do. not. sound. like. that. only “”””bros””””” (typically hockey bros (see: sidney crosby) or “country” boys (see: literally any fucking canadian boy who hunts/fishes/wears a cowboy hat unironically)) sound like this, the canadian “accent” americans mock? totally fucking fake mOVING ON)

“bud” however, that’s a sweet lil thing. it’s actually very much a term of endearment, so to say, i’ve only ever used it when talking to children and s/o’s. it’s not the only term of endearment canadians ever use (ahem, fic writers take note of that) but it’s definitely one that people use and it’s very cute and soft™

examples:

*cussing someone out over a video game/a joke that i have no comeback for/bad driving/etc.* “get fucked, buddy” “oh you’re fucked, buddy” “yeh fuckin right, buddy” etc. etc.

*accidentally taps child on the back of the head* oop, sorry bud!

*s/o says “i love you”* aw bud, i love you too

AND THE RARE BUT SOMETIMES SOCIALLY APPROPRIATE: “BUDDY” AS ENDEARMENT ie. “aw c’mon, buddy, you’re doing great!” (this is most often done by (hockey) bros to children, but i’m sure there’s other situations where this happens)

4. “oop”

again, another one i didn’t realize was canadian until buzzfeed said so. but tbh i use this one so fucking much i’m so sad that i haven’t seen a single fic where jack or ransom use this. it’s like...oops without the ‘s’? that’s really it, but it’s not just for “oops” situations, it’s like a expletive for many things and you just kinda gotta feel it in ur gut, i can’t really explain how/why i know when to use it so tread lightly, but know that this is probably the most popular right up there with “sorry” in terms of usage.

examples:

*watching hockey, fave team almost scores* oop oop oop! awwww f*#$U$%*#$%*! (they didn’t score) or oop oop oop! YAAAAAAH HELL FUCKIN YEEEEEEEEAH BABY WOOOOO!!!!!!!! (they did)

*bumps into someone* oop sorry!

*surprise burp* oop sorry!

*fumbles with something, almost drops it* oop oop oOP!

*does drop something* oop.. *picks it up*

*dodging and weaving through a crowd* oop, sorry..oop oop sorr-- oop!

5. “no problem”

now my understanding is that this is more an age thing than it is a canadian thing, but i feel like in true polite canadian fashion this phrase gets used more and more by a wider demographic than it originally started with. this is basically a replacement for “you’re welcome” because imo “you’re welcome” makes it sound like you’ve done someone a huge favour for them, and i mean, it seems weird to basically say “yeah, you ARE thankful because I HELPED you so yeah BE THANKFUL!” when someone like..holds the door open, y’know? like i said, i’ve heard this is a generation thing and lots of younger people say this instead, so it could be more widespread, but not many other countries say “thank you” as much as we do, so. who really knows tbh.

examples:

*holds door for someone, they say thank you* no problem! (because really, it wasn’t a problem, it was just the nice thing to do and it didn’t cause me any trouble at all to do it. you don’t have to be thankful for this act of kindness but fuck u if u don’t say thank you for it anyway, buddy)

*works in retail, helps someone find something* no problem! (because again, it’s not a problem, esp in this situation it’s my fucking job to help y’all so like? duh?? but same rules apply, if you don’t say thank u i’ll fucking remember it, pal)

*works in retail, can’t help someone find something, customer has to leave/find something else/etc* “alright, thanks anyway” “yeah no problem, sorry!” (because fucking duh, you get it by now)

6. FUCKING “EH”

HOOO FUCKIN BOY WE NEED TO HAVE A CHAT ABOUT THE ATROCITY THAT IS FIC WRITERS EXCESSIVELY AND IMPROPERLY USING THIS TERM. here’s some things to fucking clarify RIGHT FUCKIN NOW: we DO NOT end every sentence with “eh”, “eh” is not always a fucking question, it’s not said how you think it is, “eh” isn’t always tacked on to any fuckin sentence.

okay cool now that that’s fucking out of the way...”eh” is more often used as a filler word, not always like an “um” or a “uhh”, more like a “hey” or a cheer like “ehhhh!” but it’s not as often used as people like to write it into conversation. as of right now i can’t even remember the last time i used “eh” when i wasn’t making a fuckin mockery of how americans THINK we talk.

“eh” has different pronunciations as well, each one has a different purpose and place in speech. eh pronounced like “a” is usually a cheer (like “ehhhh!!! we fuckin won!!!), pronounced exactly like its spelled is like a question (like “eh? i can’t hear you.), pronounced like “ayy” or “hey” without the “h” is like a greeting or after someone burns someone with a comeback or ur fave song comes on in the club etc etc

basically, what you’re noticing is that “eh” is actually more widely common than you fuckin think it is. it’s not exclusively canadian, and YES!!! there is the stereotypical “eh?” or “eh!” that certain pockets of people will use, again it sort of falls under that hockey/country bro-ish type (to clarify, because idk if i did this or not, “bro” is a gender neutral term, girls or otherwise can also be bros, i use it neutrally, sorry if that wasn’t clear!) but again!!! it’s not used at every turn and it’s VERY unlikely that if you went up to a canadian with ur shitty “eh?!” impression that they would be anything more than stone-faced and weary at your attempt at humour.

examples:

eh, how are you?

eh, to-may-to to-mah-to

FUCKIN. EH!! (usually an expletive when something amazing happens, usually about sports, usually more specifically about hockey, but u knooow)

*making a decision that takes some thinking* ehhhh...maybe?

*hesitantly wanting to go past/around/through a crowd* eh...excuse me...oop sorry! oh go ahead..no problem!

7. bonus canada facts for fleshing out ur stories/hcs!!!

canada has our own football league, yeah i fucking know. all those tropes about jack and ransom not knowing football? actual garbage, they probably know the basics at the very least. if they like football, ransom probably roots for the toronto argonauts (whom most people fuckin hate, along with the maple leafs (hockey team) because canada has this *thing* with toronto, i won’t get into that right now but just know, majority of canada wants nothin to do with toronto sports teams) and jack probably roots for the montreal alouettes because duh (alternatively he roots for something hella random like the saskatchewan rough riders, whom, as a manitoban, i hate by birthright) some of the CFL rules are different from the NFL but yeah, canada has a football league so. kill that trope.

jack and ransom probably know something about curling and/or can actually curl!! curling, btw, is an ice sport where you throw rocks at other rocks (not like, just any old rocks, it’s...just google it honestly i don’t wanna try and explain curling) i know when i was in school curling was always a part of gym in the winter because we had outdoor rinks nearby or one of my elementary schools actually made a curling rink (with the circles and everything!)

“canadian tuxedo” is double denim. meaning, denim shirt, denim pants = canadian tuxedo. jack is 1000000% guilty of doing this.

canada gets real fuckin cold but it also gets real fuckin hot, especially in central canada but also other places too. jack being overwhelmed by georgian heat is probably real HOWEVER he’s not a total dumbass who can’t function in the heat. canada’s weather is a fuckin gong show regardless of global warming so like, jack will sweat but he will not melt into a puddle

yeah anyway here’s a list of obscure canadian things (and some that are just #90sKidThings) ransom and/or jack probably know/love aka me going tf down memory lane!!!: don’t you put it in your mouth, stay alert stay safe, the talking tv that scarred me for life, “moooom aiden cut me half again!!!”, they probably believed north american house hippos were a thing for a long ass time because they didn’t understand the point of the commercial, tales from the crypt aka my fave show, the weekenders!!!, jack probably loved art attack because sensory things!! visuals!! calm voice!! basically bob ross for kids!!!, BEAR IN THE BIG BLUE HOUSE!!! HOOOMG, if you don’t know what this is I’M SO SORRY YOU MISSED OUT ON THE BEST THING EVER, ransom 100% had all the stuffies of these guys, out of the mcfuckin bOX, ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM, G2G OFF TO DRAGONLAND, you knew you were up TOO LATE if you were watching this, i could cry this show was so fckn good jack 100% loved this, idk if this was just a canadian thing but i fckn LOVED THIS ONE SO MUCH

honestly i could go on for fuckin ever but i’ll stop because god bless anyone who actually watches all those links lmao

i hope this was helpful!!! not tryna be a twat but i just wanted to clear some stuff up because i feel it’s my duty as a canadian to help y’all out, ok??? okay luv u bye thanks for reading!!!

#mine #canadian guide #here u go friends #enjoy i spent way too long writing this lmao

DCOM rankings #88: Frienemies

Here we go! Here’s another fun review about a terrible DCOM, I honestly don’t mind writing these as much as okay DCOMS that have more potential. This movie, however, had 0 potential to be any better than it was. But we will get into that. (Fair warning this review is going to be mostly negative and I’ll do the positives at the very end).

Now, I’ve seen the trailers for this when it was gonna come out. I don’t think I was watching any shows on Disney channel at this point. Maybe 1 if wizards was still on. But the channel would be on our tv occasionally. Anyway, the trailers gave a big indication as to how this movie would go and I knew from the get go that it was going to be cringey. And guess what? I was 100% correct. This was THE cringiest “modern” DCOM I’ve seen so far.

It reminds me of those direct to video Disney sequels where it tells 3 separate stories and they just pile them up into a 1.5 hour film? Already from the start I don’t like those kinds of movies, although if I was a lot younger I probably would have liked it because I loved Cinderella 2 as a kid. (I’ve never seen Cinderella 3 and I know I need to watch it so get off my back). But as I got older the 3 separate story movie is just ehhhh. I personally don’t like it. It breaks everything up and it’s not all cohesive and you have to start from square 1 at every segment. Learning the characters,trying to figure out that’s going on, stuff like that. No, I like one big story. Thank you very much!

So that was basically the main reason why the movie failed for me. It was that 3-story format. Many of the other flaws the movie has stemmed from that format.

BUT I think what I’ll do is go through each segment and just review it that way I guess?

Okay the first segment. That one was by far the worst one. I understand that you CAN have a pet as a best friend, that’s fine. What made this movie the cringiest thing on the planet was that they humanized the dog to a very high degree. Like, as if Murray could understand and respond in conversations, read, and perform complex tasks that require extreme long-term training. Like, I get that in kids movies with dogs in them, they do humanize the dogs a little to be more interesting as a character. But this went so far as to suggest that Jake and Murray were “in a fight” like how friends are in a fight or not speaking to each other. As if Murray knows that. And how Jake and Murray have “conversations” and others at school are like “but he is your best friend, why would he want to hurt you”, Sorry in the context of the movie it was just so cringey. You can have humanized personalities for dogs in movies, but these folks are really taking it a step too far.

The rest of the segment was eh. The popular girl is just the stereotype with 0 unique personality, and the skater girl was okay ish, probably the best character in that whole segment. But that’s not saying a whole lot.

The middle segment is really the main one, and it stars zendaya and I forget the other girls name....whoops. So this was probably the most interesting one out of the three, and definitely had the most time and effort being put into it. Again, it’s not saying a whole lot. It’s the classic “girls have the opportunity of a lifetime but oh noooo there’s only one spot available, now they have to compete” plot. Cheetah girls 3 anyone?? And I’m sure other movies and tv episodes have done this before as well.

Also, It’s so unbelievably crazy to me how an online magazine made up by middle/high school girls would get picked up by a major company in NYC. But I mean we’re definitely not going for realism in this movie based on the plots of the 3 segments. It’s FINE if you want to bend the rules a bit but this movie just tips the scale a LITTLE to much for my personal taste. Does it mean I have no imagination??? Probably lol. Anyway, this segment was really only cringey in the story concept and the over the top acting. But how things moved along in the plot wasn’t that bad. It kept my attention, sort of. I will give it that.

I guess this is as good of a time as any to talk about how they strung these three stories together. It was basically just the two friends from the middle segment narrating the story and them just kind of inserting themselves in the other two stories....it was really really awkward when they just pop in and comment on what’s going on and then they just leave....and then at the end when they coordinate the dance number out of nowhere....yikes yikes YIKES. But I’ll get more into that in a second.

Second’s up! So the last segment was just “the parent trap”. At least the first two segments were sort of original. The last one was just the parent trap! Well some things were different but the things that were different, I’ve also seen in other shows. Lots of cartoons have a “body switch” episode where the two main characters are fighting thinking that the other has it so much better so they agree to switch places for a day/week and then realize the other one doesn’t have it easy and they understand each other better. Yeah. It’s literally that except it ends in a random dance party....I WILL say though, that the song at the end wasn’t that bad!

So yeah, the actress who plays Savannah/Emma has a terrible English accent, like you guys aren’t in England you don’t HAVE to have an English accent to be considered “rich” that’s so stereotypical I don’t even know where to start. Like just the rich family in general, the dad, “what’s a taco?” Seriously? You’ve been living on this planet 40+ years and you’ve never even HEARD of a taco??. It’s so cringeyyyy... and the conflict between the two girls also just comes out of nowhere and in 1.5 seconds.

This is why I don’t like the three separate story arcs because there’s not enough time for normal conflict to build up and not enough time for me to care about the characters. I get that they tried to fix this by having all the main characters be a part of all the segments so it kind of FEELS like one whole movie. But it doesn’t work when the characters who don’t star in that particular segment aren’t really adding anything to the story.

All in all, most of it was just cringe as hell, and the parts that weren’t cringey were just kinda boring. It’s still not the worst DCOM I’ve ever seen, but it’s definitely the worst of the modern ones so far, even below Den Brother. This deserves a C level, and a C- at that. I really hope I’m not alone in my opinion.

I think this was the point in that Disney channel was really trying to cater to their main demographic which was child-tween girls. So they create shows like shake it up, good luck Charlie, liv and Maddie, and other content like this DCOM that stars teen girls. And when Disney stops catering to people of all genders/backgrounds. It stops being good. It’s gotten better over the years I think, especially with their animated series. But now that Disney channel is kind of obselete now and it’s way out, there’s not much room for it to get better or worse. Maybe one day we’ll go back to cable after people realize we can’t have 30+ streaming services.

Sorry, weird tangent. This movie is bad but not the worst. Either way, I will never watch it again. Not willingly anyway.

So the next movie is actually not on Disney plus BUT I found most of it on YouTube so I’m gonna try to watch as much as I can before it gets taken down. If it gets taken down I’ll just skip it and move into the next one. Wish me luck!!

A Work That I Prayed For.

It wasn’t really in my plans. It just so happen na I was browsing through this job hunting site that I came across this job opening in APEC - QC. The first thing I did was to check the QC branches that APEC has. (Pero syempre I checked din if qualified ba ako sa position, and the good thing is that they aren’t really requiring a graduate of a specific course). I decided to submit an application thinking that there’s no harm in trying. hehe.

Last March 14, I received a text from their HR and I was invited to have an initial interview the next day. I didn’t prepare that much, I just prayed to have a smooth interview. Buti na lang naging familiar ako sa Makati coz previous work allowed me to walk through the streets of this area hehehe at hindi ako naligaw at na-late. So on my initial interview, it was a brief background check. Alam nyo ba yung feels na “Shucks parang pasado na ako” hahaha kasi yung interviewer naga-agree sa mga sinasabi ko during the interview. I also felt excited when I learned of the nature of the job, that I will be interacting with students(and parents heheh). When I heard “students” naging heart-shaped yung mata ko HIHI. Nakatulong rin talaga yung experiences in life to the position that I was applying for. It lasted for about 30 - 45 mins lang and the advise was to wait for her text the next day regarding my schedule for 2nd interview with the School Head if it will push thru on Monday. BUT around 5:30-ish in the afternoon, I received a text na I was scheduled for an interview with the school head the following day (Friday) at 10AM. EHHHH NASA GALAAN AKO THAT NIGHT W/ COLLEGE FRIENDS!!! So I decided to go home early so that I could prepare.

So the following day, March 16 I arrived early sa branch (1hr & 30 mins) kaya nanood na lang ako ng CCTV footage HAHAHA while waiting for my turn, I met my 3rd year high school Health teacher (Hello po, Ma’am Nice! Ang nice nyo po talaga huhu blessing po kayo!!) When she heard that I was applying, she didn’t hesitate to refer me (I DID NOT ASK FOR IT PERO GRACE ‘TO NI LORD!!!! --- Before ako mag-apply meron na daw talaga dapat kukunin for that position kaso... nagkaproblem ata dun AND kasi nga may referral ako HUHUHUHUBELS) But I still gave my best sa interview. “IMPRESSIVE” - yan ang feedback sa akin ng School Head, and I do not take the credit on this. It was all because of Jesus. HOW? Read more hehehe. After the interview, I went straight to Elevate U-belt. Timing lang rin talaga na that week, I wasn’t song leading. I took a rest (and sabi rin ni ate Mons kasi 3 consecutive weeks na ako kumakanta) and also to focus on my job hunting. That afternoon, nagcharge ako ng phone sa Elevate office, and I was helping out sa rehearsals ng Selah. While I was away, HR called palaaaaaa and I wasn’t able to answer it!!!!!!! I didn’t call back kasi landline yung ginamit and wala ako pantawag :( but I waited until Monday, they called again and I was scheduled for final background check on March 20, Tuesday.

On my last background check, I was interviewed by the HR Supervisor. That same day, I got the job offer!! I could’ve signed that day but I decided not to so that I could discuss the offer to my parents as well (since I always take a big consideration with what my parents would say). Lo and behold, they gave their blessing on it! PRAISE GOD <3 So I went back to Makati last March 22 to sign the contract. YAAAAAAAAAAAS after almost 2 months, I got work na! My prayer during this season was to have work by the end of March and the Lord answered it with a “YES”!!

I had a training last March 27 kahit hindi pa yun yung official start ko, I attended the training because learning never stops YEHES HAHAHA. TODAY, April 2, is my first day in this company and I had my orientation today. Sobrang nakakaexcite lalo kasi mas nadiscuss yung mga concerns ko regarding this work. Ang saya nga kasi 1 Hour lang yung byahe from San Mateo to Makati pero 5am naman ako umalis hahaha

I am really excited kasi there are opportunities to grow in all aspects, opportunities to take students to the next LEVEL (YEP, ELEVATE PA RIN), and opportunities to be a BLESSI(E)NG. Who would have thought that my teaching background in NXTGen, my involvement with ELEVATE, my English language practice in my International Internship and my customer service experience in the hospitality industry and with my previous work would be the keys to be blessed with this job?

Sobrang orchestrated lahat ni LORD. Dami kong iyak pero grabe yung joy na kapalit. Yung timing, ang perfect kasi wala pang Live, so ‘di ako masyado mao-occupy ng ministry work(SELAH HEHEHE) during my adjusting and training period. My skills and passion nandun sa work!! I’m truly joyful that it turned out like this. Faithful talaga si Lord sa promises Nya, sa provisions, faithful Sya in all aspects.

“God has to hide from us what He does, until, due to the growth of our personal character, we get to the level where He is then able to reveal it.”

This time, I would like to praise and thank God for the people He used to serve as a blessing (in any way) and an encouragement to me during the time that I was feeling really down in my job hunting season. HELLO THERE UNANG UNA, SELAH HEADS (BabyGirl Thumbs Down, Sensitive Snowflake, VIP Bb Boi) kahit na puro pambabash sa isa’t isa ginagawa nyo, yes kayo lang kasi Messengerl lang naman ako diba HAHAH nakakaencourage yung presence nyo. hehe kasi tawang tawa ako lagi pag nag aaway na kayo LOL charot. Pero seriously, blessing kayo talaga in many ways lagi nyo ako pinapatawa huhu. Lalo na u, ate Mons special mention kasi lagi kita kapartner tuwing prayer time hahahahahaha iba talaga prayer ng righteous =)) I’m excited for the next school year!!! Cute nating 4 bawal umangal walang pataasan dito.

To my prayer partners, Elevate Ubelt FTWs, Jazzel, ate Juve, Jonela, ate Abi, ate Nica, trOPPA, my dgroupmates and my girls (Dana and Hurlyne) and of course my PPG, your prayers are highly appreciated!! Thank you for your support huhu

To my college beshies & HS bff, I hope this encouraged you to persevere with whatever you’re experiencing right now. Know that I’m here for you always, backing u up with prayers. <3 mahal ko kayo!!

To ate Zsa, thank you because you are there always. Encouraging me, praying for me, helping me grow. I love you. :)

To my pamili. My pamileee howmaygash. My sisters, titos, titas, cousins, our family prayer night every month allowed us to build a better relationship with each other. Thank you, for continuously praying for me, and for your suggestions on how I can improve sa work.

To Mommy and Daddy!!! hehe Iba talaga ang wisdom ng magulang. The Lord again showed His grace and love through you. Thank you for your unending support and love. Love you powsxz

To Jesus, my Master and Savior, the Risen King. This is all because of You and this is all for You. All glory, honor and praise to You.

“O Lord, You are a great and awesome God! You always fulfill Your covenant and keep Your promises of unfailing love to those who love You and obey Your commands.” Daniel 9:4

HELLOOOOO APEC V-Luna, I’m ready!

Please continue to pray for me that I may be successful (To do what God wants me to do and to be what He wants me to be that He may be able to say “Well done, good and faithful servant.”) in this new place. To be a salt and light. To do my best in everything, to honor my authorities, to honor God and to keep my eyes on Jesus. THANK YOUUUU!

para akong nag graduation speech HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
