Hi! I was wondering about your Lost Guardian au from ages ago, do you think you’ll ever plan on updating it and if not, could someone else take up the fic?
So heres the thing. If someone wants to write a fic *inspired* by The Lost Guardian, i’m not gonna stop them, and i’d probably feel super honored so long as the inspiration was correctly credited!
As for ‘taking up the fic,’ the short answer is no.
I have active drafts and the rest of the story already planned out to its finish, notes, even a branch-off fic set post-story that will likely go up on my nsfw blog if i ever get around to editing it. The Lost Guardian hasn’t been abandoned, it’s simply on hiatus. (And yes, i recognize 3 almost 4 years so far is a really fucking long hiatus. The Chapter 9 draft doc was made in december of 2020, and last edited in July 2022)
I started writing that fic whilst still in highschool, a time where I was 17 and didnt have to worry yet about getting my license or maintaining a part time job, i had an over abundance of freetime even partially to my detriment, the fandom was booming and I had plenty of feedback, and this fic was (and still *is*) a story im proud of.
But i’m 22 now, working a full time job to pay rent and account for a number of minor ‘disabilities’(best word i have for them atm) that I cant ignore or push to the side nor treat poorly, from the lasting effects on my body of stunted growth to celiac/glutent intolerance to adhere to that directly determines how easily my body functions for the week, to dealing with glasses i cannot afford to break and taking care of teeth i cannot afford to fix, taking care of my mental health and using the free time i have to do what brings me the most joy at that time.
The sanders sides fandom has heavily quieted down with the season finale hiatus and I’d like to think I did pretty well for going six long years dedicated solely to that without cracking under the silence, because *I knew* when I caved to something else it’d be a long while before I had the drive to come back with any sort of resolution to my active works. Thats just how my hyper fixations work. I cannot focus on multiple at once, it’s too much to process simultaneously and takes away my enjoyment bc I tend to watch/consume things repeatedly to catch every little detail i missed. And it doesn’t help when one loses steam because their content barely breaks 100 notes(80% of which are likes, 15% are reblogs with the occasional comment, and 5% are self-reblogs) when back in the height of it all, a few thousand notes was pretty average interaction. This blog still has about 11.5k followers, almost all of which came from the height of the fandom period. So for now i’ve moved onto the FNAF DCA fandom, bc it is fresh and new to me.
I know you didn’t mean to poke the bear here, I get it, but like.. C’mon. Any other fic of mine likely wouldn’t have gotten the same reaction in full but, still. I’ve had to answer this question a handful of times over the years at the point, which might be why this response feels so charged, and i’m sorry.
I don’t mean to come off as snippy or rude, but it *is* kind of invasive to offer to finish one’s creative work when it’s taking too long and theres very little payback for it. I’ve got adhd, delayed satisfaction isn’t a thing I experience. Just guilt that it wasn’t finished in a way for me to post it in time before I broke and lost all motivation to share it.
In my head, TLG has been long finished and held the ending for years, theres just been no energy to put in the effort of finish writing it for others to read. I’m still trying to get my life together to change that, don’t get me wrong, but the American economy is literally in shambles so who knows how or even if i’ll manage that. Call me selfish for being content with only mentally having my creative story’s ending and a collection of rambles and notes to show for it, but at the end of the day, it’s still my story, and i dont feel comfortable with people trying to ‘take up the mantle’ to finish it, when they don’t know how it ends.
I’m glad you like it enough to want to, though, I really *really* am. I’m just sorry I haven’t been able to finish it for you all. And i just don’t know when that will be, I just know that I *want* to do so, however long it takes.

So, about that cult I was in…
I was 6 years old. I was initiated into a young girl’s group called “Pledge”. The meetings were always boring, we weren’t allowed to cross our legs when we sat down, and most of the time I couldn’t even eat the snacks people brought for after the meetings because I have celiac. Pledge was Rainbow Lite. I wouldn’t have put together that it was a cult if Rainbow was more of the same. But it wasn’t.
Once I turned 11, I was initiated into Rainbow. Thats what it was called when you joined, “initiation”. We learned about God’s Gifts and how it’s good to be charitable and faithful and hopeful and etc etc. that’s fine. An organization that teaches girls how to be kind, and the value of service to others? That’s amazing! And just because it was religious doesn’t automatically make it a cult. Many charities and organizations have a religious affiliation or some such, that doesn’t make them automatically a cult. But then after the meeting, I laid down on the couch in the dressing room and someone told me to sit up, “you’re a rainbow girl now, you can’t be doing that.”
One of my best friends in the organization left when I was only a few months into the organization. She said she just didn’t want to do it anymore. Her sister talked shit about her in the dressing room when we were all getting in our dresses.
Oh did I forget to mention? You had to wear a dress for the formal meetings. No, you couldn’t wear a suit, even though suits are also formal. You’re a Rainbow Girl. You have to dress like one. No black, either. No black dress, no black shoes, no black tights, nothing like that. Black hair was ok, so at least there was that, but that’s like the bare minimum, not forcing someone to change their hair color. I still to this day don’t understand why there was no Black allowed.
Speaking of color, or I suppose lack thereof, the Holy Bible sat on an alter in the middle of the assembly room. It symbolized the White Light that all the colors of the rainbow came from. I like this. Some science in this religious cult! The Bow stations (7, each represented by a color of the rainbow) formed a half circle around it. Next to the alter sat Faith, the first in the Line stations. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
If you’ll allow me to break a rule and paraphrase from the book that had everything they did in meetings (it was called, I shit you not, “the ritual”):
Worthy Advisor: Sister of Faith, what is on the Alter?
Faith: The Holy Bible.
Worthy Advisor: To what color do we designate the holy Bible?
Faith: It is white, the color of purity.
Now. If you think this is bad, linking the color white to purity, just. Take a guess what this line used to be.
Wrong.
Faith: It is white, the virgin color
EXCUSE YOU?
THE RITUALS STILL HAVE THE OLD LINE, AT LEAST ALL THE ONES IN MY ASSEMBLY DID. THERE ARE 11 YEAR OLDS HERE. 11-20 YEAR OLD WOMEN BEING TOLD THAT WHITE IS THE VIRGIN COLOR AND THE COLOR OF PURITY. I REALLY DONT WANNA TURN THIS INTO A RACE THING BUT CONSIDERING FREEMASONRY HAS A HISTORY OF RACISM, AND OREGON DIDNT GET A GRAND WORTHY ADVISOR THAT WASNT MAYO WHITE UNTIL LITERALLY 2022, ITS HARD FOR ME TO SEE IT AS AN UNFORTUNATE COINCIDENCE.
There’s so much more that’s wrong with Rainbow. So, so much more. But I think this is where I’m gonna stop for now because I need a break from this.

Hiiii momo! Im 'calling' you at night just like my favorite guy Yosuke Hanamura!Ok,so!
The other day i found out theres a FULLY gluten free restaurant near me! Its $$$$ on google so um well....its too Expensive for me to ever go but it made me really happy anyway. I grew up with almost NO options for gluten free stuff as a kid and its just really nice to see it being accommodated for!! So many people think its just an intolerance or an allergy so they dont put in the work that needs to be put in to not make celiacs sick...but theres also a few (small) chain restaurants that offer gluten free options who change gloves and use new equipment that hasn't touched it to avoid cross contamination! Its really really nice to see how far we've come since i was really small and couldn't eat out ANYWHERE without getting sick. Sooooo theres my lil ramble for today! Ill be back tommorow! Love you and i hope you're well rested silly baby/aff !!
-Big Bro Lake💞
wow!! I m glad it is. there to make you happy to look at!! even if it is. spensiv :0 make yosuke pay for you >:) that s what he is there for [silly]

i dont really mind being called fat at this point in my life but i do feel like a lot of skinny people think that's what fatphobia is so it doesn't seem like a big deal. its hard to explain that its in EVERY way im treated, i would just like to be treated the same. at my lowest weight people would look me in the eyes, strangers would compliment my clothes (the same style i had when i was heavier), customers would treat me nicer, people at school would talk to me. now that im not that weight anymore it really hits harder how little human decency im given, i had a taste of how thinner people are treated. when i went in to doctors offices with more vitamin deficiencies and stomach issues than i had the year before at a higher weight and i got praise. they actually listened to my concerns this time and didn't just tell me to lose weight and thats when i found out I had celiac. i had been complaining about chronic pain for 10 years and no one thought to look or do anything more than tell me to lose some weight. not only that, i had lost a very alarming amount of weight in months and my doctor told me she was proud; i had every obvious sign of an eating disorder down to weighing everything i ate and i only got compliments. not only medically and socially but romantically i got asked out twice that year and its the last time i remember being called pretty by a stranger. its the last time someone random has complimented my makeup. it really makes you feel like an alien, like you can't be loved just because you arent a size 4. :/

A little life update "summer 22 with no solid poo"
for anyone who cares lol
as some of you may have seen from my other social medias and here, my health has gone to pretty downhill and I want to share my story and explain bc idk
And for not to scare anyone, no its im not deadly ill. Im prob gonna be just fine.
gross warning i talk about poop
So umm this all started at the end of may- start of june when i started having diarreah. no biggie, i get anxiety diarreah like once a week so i didnt think much of it at the time. Only took me like few more weeks for straight diarreah to realize that something may be wrong lol. So i joked about it and let it be. I call this summer "Summer 22 with no solid poo" and wanted to wait till august to go to doctor. Then i got covid. So i had to wait that out before going to the hospital.
And finally the day I got to go to the doctor and everything was fine, i was supposed to get blood work tested and maybe poop in a container and the doctor thought that it might be celiac-disease bc that runs in my family. But i got fever straight as i got home. I didn't feel so good. The fever continued for a couple of days and then we decided its time to go to ER.
We went there, got bloodwork done etc. Waited there like 6 hours and finallly at 9pm the doctor had time to see me and turns out my inflammatory values were super high and that theyd like me to stay at the hospital for a while. So i stayed at the hospital for 7 days.
In those 7 days they took so much bloodwork from me it was insane! (and fun fact, turns out my veins are shit and no one can find a good spot to draw blood or put an IV tube in). For a couple of days, no answers. They had no idea whats wrong with me. My fever rise and they gave me antibiotics and other meds. Went to the ultrasound and nothing. And then, they had to give me a observation aka "put a little camera up my ass".
But bc i live in a small city theres like one doctor who does that and his schedule was full. So I had long long days waiting for my appointment. And they got me on friday.
But before we get to the camera up my ass part. Hell was loose. They had to "clean" my bowels. And they told me, and I QOUTE "It's either 1: drink two cups of this cocktail that tastes like orange juice or 2: drink 3 litres of water". Obv i took the orange juice! It cant be that bad! WRONG! JESUS CHRIST I WAS WRONG.
As soon as i drank the bad tasting orange drink, i felt like throwing up. Then the pain came. Oh god the pain. It was like level 10 menstrual cramp kind of pain. I was literally crying and screaming bc it hurt so bad. Only thing that helped at the moment was to stay still but i couldnt do that bc i had to shit out the cocktail like every 5 minutes. Many times i thought to just shit my pants on the bed and not let that be my problem. I was in so much pain I was in panic mode. And the worst thing was, no one warned me. They didn't even mention that it might hurt with some people. I don't remember all bc panic lol but i remember this one bitch ass nurse going "Duh its gonna hurt it has big chemicals in it! Even gas can hurt inside bowels". I would have punched her if I wasnt shitting at the time. Then the nurses took their sweet time to get me painkillers and nausea meds. But I couldnt take those bc i felt like throwing up. And then I remember a doctor came. He was nice and explained to me that it hurts bc the orange juice made my bowels like spasm to clean it. I was like "lol thanks for warning me beforehand". Some time goes, they give me that yummy tranquilizer trough IV and I'm high asf. It still hurt but atleast i was high. Then came the cup number 2! I tried to drink it, immeadetly i threw it up like no way that stayed down. And again, panic bc idk what happens next. Do i need to do this all again? Is my bowel clean? Am i gonna be okay? And then i passed out and slept trough the night.
And at this point, on a serious point. WHY THE FUCK IS TELLING PATIENCE THAT THIS THING X IS GONNA HURT SO FUCKING TABOO??? Like i get it, you dont want to scare people but a little heads up would be better than nothing! I just wish someone had told me.
Okay, morning comes, its friday, camera about to go up my ass. they give me nice tranquilizer again, YUMMY. Im high again. they roll me to the operation room, and the nice nurses and a doctor explains whats gonna happen. ( I knew this was gonna hurt beforehand bc they gave me the tranquilizer and figures). At this point they tell me that going up my ass is the hardest part and hurts but after that its easier. Im like okay i can do this, im high and im a big boy! So there i was, laying on my side, doctor rips hole in my underwear to put the camera up my ass. And there it goes, felt weird. Then this stinging pain comes and i curse. Nice nurse lady notices and presses against my tummy and the pain gets easier. They tell me to take a deep breath everytime the pain eases. I do. I'm breathing so good baby you wouldnt believe ( still fucking high). And that thing happens over and over again for like, maybe 3-4 minutes but felt much longer. Sometimes the pain was larger but the nice nurse always pressed my tummy and i, kind of, farted the pain out? It's weird but you get it. Then i hear the words of heaven "We are there"! THE WORST IS BEHIND. I'm happy! I turn around, look at the screen where i can somehow see ( didnt have my glasses) the inside of my bowel part. And i said "ew" and turned my head back. I dont wanna see that. it was pink. Then the doctor spoke something doctorly that i didnt understand. They spend a minute inside my ass doing... doctor stuff and then they took the camera out. It didnt hurt just felt weird, like taking a weirdly shaped long shit. And then they were like "lol we done! We gonna take these samples to the lab asap!" And I was like "you took samples?". THEY TOOK PIECES OF THE INSIDE OF MY ASS WTF.
okay its done, im still high and after couple of hours, they let me go home. I'm happy. I'm feeling good. Life was good. Untill the next morning.
I felt bad again, I threw up at night and I had a mild fever. We call the ER to ask what we do. They tell me that i havent drank enough liquids. So for the next two days I drank so much water you wont believe but i still felt bad and had a fever. So off to ER again!
We went there, they were like lol again bloodwork. At this point im sure i have no blood left. Then we waited and waited and they take some more blood and wait again. Results come back. My inflammatory values were high again. They again want me to stay at the hospital overnight. Hospital booked full. I wait. And finally its time. They take me to a 2 person room, as a 3rd guy. Like it was so cramped and I didnt even have the emergency button. Everything is overwhelming. It smelled like shit. I cried. it was a horrible experience and i can go all night about how shit it was but ill skip it at this point.
So i spend like two nights at the hospital, and they finally have the results in about the pieces of my ass they took. they dont know what it is. THEY HAVE NO CLUE. But atleast they got me meds that work and i dont have a fever anymore. But its like 5 different meds. They make me nauseous and tired. So its not going that well now but atleast im in a good shape to be at home rn.
Im still waiting for more results and follow-up things at the hospital. I'll update as I get to those. Thanks for reading, feel free to ask any questions and stay healthy lmao.

today a client literally told me to work/try harder
as i was checking to see if a product contained gluten
choke on your fucking gluten bitch im so fucking done with you
#its a regular client whos a friend of my boss’ wife#she always needs glutenfree stuff for her son who has celiac disease(which is fine bc celiac disease is a serious thing)#yet her son does drink beer. which isnt gluten free. ????????#like youre gonna put EVERYONE in this damn butchery through hell to make gluten free products for you (even though we have TONS of gluten#free options already prepared)#for your son who doesnt even seem that fucking sensitive to gluten since hes fine with them if theyre in beer#AND THEN YOURE ALSO GONNA BITCH AT ME ????#(btw the context in which she told me to work/try harder was we were checking if an ingredient in a marinade we make ourselves was glutenfre#the label of the ingredient didnt say gluten/wheat/other gluten grain on it anywhere. but! it did contain a thickener which wasnt specified#but if it contains gluten it wouldve said ‘may contain gluten’ or skmething like that#so i said it was probably fine (meanwhile my boss litrally went to call te company to check if it was) and my boss’ wife told the client/her#friend something along the lines of ‘nathalie had this in school! so she would know’ and the client (who ive never told my name therefor#dont want to know my name/call me by it) proceeds to say ‘well nathalie work/try harder’#BITCH EXFUCKINGSCUSE ME#CHOKE ON YOUR GLUTENFREE FUCKING CHICKEN#(which we literally also had 2 other versions of that already were glutenfree laying ready)#so yeah im pissed at her. dont think i ever wont be. thats it#the end#nathalie talks#talking in the tags

Should I grow up and accept the fact that my opinion doesn’t rly matter, yeah? But like it’s an opinion why are people so pressed when I say I don’t like something and it’s just liek I hate corn and peas disgusting and then people literally and like FUCK YOU!!! I HATE PICKY EATERS! Calm down, funty little one, I simply have the tism’ you see, and these pellet like shapes are reminiscent of bugs and that triggers my fight or flight and also I simple hate the color smell and texture and therefore despise ingesting them… however in their correct form: peas in the pod, and corn on its rightful cob, am I at peace with these legumes. Henceforward, I merely am only disgruntled by the presentation of loose peas and corn. Don’t even get me started on the corn and peas within a dish. I understand their cultural relevance to certain dishes and recipes, so I just avoid those dishes entirely, but I CANNOT TELL A LIE when I say that loose corn in the presence of a dish reminds me of when the CORN in present in the feces that resides belly up within my disgraced toilet. How dare I be picky? How dare you betray the complexity of the human psyche? How dare I know my limits well enough to not force myself into consuming things I’d rather not just to feel morally superior. Nay nay, you fool. It is called autonomy, I did not consent to celiac disease, and the constant spewage of liquid bowel movements. At least let me be earnest in my dislike of arbitrary things. I’m not saying I dislike a person for their food, I do not even scare I DONT NOT CARE what other choose to consume. So, why do such impotent meanies cause such a fuss about what I eat. You are all insecure shut up get a personality wahhhhhhhhhh

ok, look. ive tried to put this into words for the longest time, but i havent found a way to do so until now. i was originally going to make this a twitter thread, but then i realized just how long it would take me to explain everything, so im making it a tumblr post instead.
i present to you: the most bizarre dream i have ever had
ok, so, for context, id just gotten back from a convenience store in my town. i think i was having a manic episode at this time, so i was pretty reckless with the stuff i purchased. i was also pretty reckless with what i ate, because i ended up buying three things of lemonade, donuts with fucking gluten in them (i have celiac, so thats why thats so bad), and then proceeded to eat and drink them all in one sitting. during this i was also watching glitch techs for the first time. this becomes majorly important later.
after eating all of that, i got really sick, as youd expect. i decided to take a nap, even though i wasn’t that tired. that’s when the dream happened.
the dream was based around an episode from glitch techs that didn’t exist. it was also from a season that didnt exist. whereas more seasons are called season blank or whatever, this season was called, i shit you not, “#?” yep. that was it. that was just what the season was called. the episode name has faded from my memory, but that’s completely fine, because from my knowledge, the episode name was just a bunch of random letters thrown together that didn’t even resemble real words.
the episode started out as youd expect. the gang hunts down the glitch of the week and captures it, had all that lighthearted goodness, and had some gamer puns here and there. yknow, fun stuff youd expect from a kids show.
and then someone died.
no, they didn’t just die. they didn’t even get murdered. they killed themself. it was nix, i believe. and everyone had their own reactions to it.
for starters, haneesh and bergy just left. i dont remember haneesh’s reason for leaving, but bergy left because his anxiety had basically been cranked up to 100% by nix’s suicide. he was scared shitless of everything. so much so, in fact, that he was too scared to even enter the hinobi store anymore. zahra swore revenge on whoever drove him to suicide, since hed been perfectly fine beforehand, and donned classic emo clothing for the rest of the dream.
five just straight up became neurotic. like, stereotypically insane. he kept talking about killing people and his eyes were all bloodshot and stuff. mitch fell into a deep depression, and there were dark rings around his eyes like he was an old twisted-doctor character. miko’s reaction i’ve been saving for last, however, because it’s literally one of the weirdest parts of the dream.
miko practically just decided to break the laws of physics. in the blink of an eye, she changed completely. her hair turned this weird highlighter yellow-green color, and her eyes became pitch black and very shiny. she also had a tail for some reason. it sort of resembled a lion’s tail. it was black and had this green gem at the end of it. she also had horns, which is probably even weirder than the tail. they were orange and had yellow tips, like she snatched them from a homestuck troll. she just kinda floated around for the rest of the dream, for some reason.
the rest of the episode revolved around the group getting into conflicts with each other, which eventually tore them all apart. with the whole group split up now, miko was left in her lonesome, and soon enough she found out (i forgot how) that shed turned into the thing i just described. and with that realization was this really trippy sequence that came next.
basically, there were two dark figures talking to her in a text to speech voice. their faces were just real life mouths (note that they didnt have lips) plastered on top of them, and they mostly spoke nonsense from what i can remember (or maybe that was just an effect of them constantly talking over each other). the only thing i remember them saying that made a slight amount of sense was that miko was the god of existence now. the background just kept flashing black, white, and red, no matter what happened.
suddenly, phil interrupted the sequence, and brought the group back together. he then dropped the news that nix had faked his own suicide. this caused everyone to despise nix, and they then proceeded to hunt him down and circle him as nix just looked...really fucking scared. he didnt say anything. he didnt even call out for help. the group went on to disembowel him with their bare hands.
the dream ended with them all just standing there, watching nix’s corpse bleed out. they stared off into space, with some hints of regret in their eyes, as the background turned black. as they continued to stand there, this low, deep, gravelly voice, almost like that of a machine, said some unintelligible shit really slowly, and then the characters slowly looked right at the camera.
when i woke up, i felt this strange, lingering sense of dread, almost as if that was a real episode and i had actually watched it. and it had me thinking...what if that was a real episode? what if #? was a real glitch techs season that netflix and nickelodeon had greenlit? how would children and parents react to something like that? how would i react?
oh, and then i took the fattest shit ive ever shat in my life. theres something funny that happened.

I'm beginning to think I might have celiac. Do you have any tips?
Well, first of all, go to your doctor with your concerns. Yes, even if it’s the USA, because celiac is a... kinda complex illness at times?? And will need a doctor’s verification, which you can only get while still on a gluten diet. You’ll get a blood test (and there’s also a panel thing you can do, because false negatives are a thing, but the names of all of them get me confused, so I suggest googling them for the names in case the doctor doesn’t know), and if it’s a positive test, they’ll want you to get an endoscopy (a super simple procedure where they put a tube with a camera down your throat to check your upper intenstine—it literally took me maybe a couple hours from check in to check out).
But like, most importantly??
Don’t freak out. If it’s celiacs, it’s gonna be fine. If it’s not, it’s still gonna be fine.
It may seem that you’re by yourself until you find more people with celiac, but there’s so many of us!! So even if you don’t interact much with the community, maybe follow the tags (if only to see everyone groaning and moaning about labeling... I am one of those people, haha).
But as for quick tips and tricks for the (potential) celiac
-first of all, until diagnosed, you have to stay on a gluten diet. So, I mean. Not to sound like a doomsday preper but if any time is the time to just eat every damn thing you’ve ever loved that has gluten in it, now is the time to eat it. (I personally gained like 5 pounds in two months I waited for the diagnosis tests to be done, I regret nothing. And if weight is a concern... well, first of all that’s about to get weird because celiac is weird, but I also _lost_ that weight quickly after.)
-Always know what gluten is. And don’t be afraid of that word. Just because everyone else doesn’t have to be concerned about a certain protein in wheat, barley, and rye (also watch out for oats, they are not your friend), doesn’t mean they get to be mean about it. This is literally your health—if there’s anytime you can snipe at someone, it’s regarding that.
-start looking at the things you already eat to see if they have gluten free (gf) labels. Gushers, for example-gluten free!!
-start saving for new cookwear. Yes, you’ll probably need new ones. Do NOT cross contaminate them, aka, use your new gf cooking supplies to make something with gluten. ESPECIALLY IF ITS WOODEN.
-people will forget, constantly. Be firm but polite until it’s ridiculous and it’s obvious they aren’t making an effort to learn. Then you may destroy them.
-also get a gf cook book.
-and check all the stores near you for different gf sections. I used to just do my groceries at a Walmart, now I also (and in fact usually/have mostly switched to) Kroger’s and Food Lion. If you have those stores, I suggest either. They’re usually (usually) good with labels.
-food is now even more expensive, but apparently if you track _your_ food costs versus _non gf foods_, you can get a tax break by claiming the extra cost is essentially your medicine. Don’t... quote me on that I know fuck all about taxes.
-most gf frozen pizzas suck. You’re gonna try them anyways but let me just go ahead and tell you. Freschetta is the best, I will fight someone on this, and Kroger brand is actually pretty good (add on garlic, oregano, parsley, and basil along with extra cheese for Even Better Pizza, to every pizza ever). Sadly, say goodbye to rising crust.
-you will have cravings for the most random things. Including foods you DONT LIKE. Because you can’t have them. But gradually your palette will expand for your new... selective diet.
-you will both hate gf fad people and love them. Mostly hate though.
-people ARE looking for a cure, but be patient, it may be a while. But it’s good to be hopeful—just be realistic about how it might not be up to how you want it.
-no, there is no pill you can take. Surprisingly, this will irritate the people around you more than it will you.
-if you can’t cook—yeah maybe learn. If you don’t make, say, mozzarella sticks using gf panko and rice flour, no one will. No, seriously. No one. (Unless you live in a gf haven, in which case—share your location I just waNNA KNOW-)
-you will be fine. In fact, you’ll feel better!!
-rice is your friend. Just go ahead and get a rice cooker.
-if it’s not labeled gf, you’re at your own risk.
-even if it is tbh because labeling laws are Awful.
-did I mention labeling annoyances because—
-people will call it a gluten allergy. It is not a gluten allergy. You will still need to list it under allergies in every paperwork thing you do for the rest of forever. Including the DOCTOR’S OFFICE.
-you may loose weight. You may gain weight. You might do both. So long as it’s not a severe or dramatic drop/gain, do not be too alarmed
-you will find random things about your body that you didn’t know was off due to celiac that will suddenly present itself. For example, my _feet shrunk half a size_ because of water retention.
-your search history will be weird.
-vitamins. If nothing else, vitamin b12 just TRUST ME ON THIS.
-find restaurants near you with gf things. Ask hard questions. Don’t be afraid to err on the side of caution and not eat there.
-some celiacs report having a higher sense of smell. This is... a thing.
-you will, at some point, go through the bread aisle and feel kinda disgusted, maybe nauseous. Surprise, airborne flour.
-love how your body is getting better and healing, even when it’s... really weird about it.
-pack your own food. Constantly.
-gf soy sauce. It is also your new friend.
-no but seriously, rice rice RICE. I didn’t even like rice until a year before diagnosis but liKE.
-everyone will have questions every time you tell someone. You do not have to be their personal search engine on this illness. We have smartphones. We have public libraries with computer internet access. You are not responsible for the education of someone else regarding your body.
-... people will ask what DO you eat. You can be honest, or you can just say you eat nosey people. People forget that that’s not... a normal question, for the most part, and that it’s actually not their business. (That said, people will ask kindly sometimes!! Or they’re trying to make sure they don’t gluten you by accident—and yes, gluten as a verb, this is more of an experience than something explainable. So don’t be mean just to be mean—but you also don’t HAVE to deal with Quincy Question getting up in your business.)
-people will say they could NEVER do it. They would. I did. You mighty have to. _They Would._ it sounds like a compliment at first. It quickly stops being one.
Essentially.... there’s a million and one inconveniences, I’m not gonna lie. But do NOT go back on yourself, no matter what food you miss, it is not worth it.
Most importantly though—breathe. Celiacs sucks but I’m honestly glad to found out. I mean I’d drop it in a heartbeat if there was like, a cure or a medication, but I was very sick—didn’t even know how much until later—it’s much better that I know. And if it is celiac, you’ll begin to feel better soon.
Also im not kidding, go join some gf and celiac tags and communities. It makes all the little annoyances better.
And celebrate the little things!! Gf cake is a THING THAT EXISTS.

Nutrion and Special diets
Gluten free diet is very “new” conception for me before I came to Canada. What is gluten free diet and why there are so many people have to follow the gluten free diet plan?
First of all, Gluten is a family of proteins found in wheat, barley, rye and spelt. Unfortunately, many people feel uncomfortable after eating foods that contain gluten. The most severe reaction is called celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which the body mistakenly harms itself. Celiac disease affects up to 1% of the population and can damage the intestines. These are the most common ways to test for celiac disease:
Blood test. A     blood test will look for antibodies that incorrectly interact with the     gluten protein. The most common test is a tTG-IgA test.
Biopsy from your small intestine. People with a positive blood test will likely     need to have a biopsy. This is a process in which a small tissue sample is     taken from your intestine and checked for damage.
Secondly, why people decide to follow a gluten free diet? People with gluten intolerance or celiac disease cannot tolerate it. People with other disorders like wheat allergy and non-celiac gluten sensitivity also frequently avoid gluten. Aside from an allergy, there are two main reasons why someone would want to avoid gluten. Unfortunately, this attack also damages surrounding areas, such as the gut wall. This can lead to nutrient deficiencies, severe digestive issues and anemia, as well as increase the risk of many harmful diseases. People with celiac disease often experience sharp stomach pain, diarrhea, constipation, skin rashes, stomach discomfort, bloating, weight loss, anemia, tiredness and depress. Interestingly, some people with celiac disease don’t experience digestive symptoms. Instead, they may experience other symptoms like fatigue, depression and anemia. However, these symptoms are also common in many other medical conditions, making celiac disease difficult to diagnose.
Despite having a variety of health benefits, a gluten-free diet can have some downsides.
Risk of a Nutritional Deficiency
People who have celiac disease are at risk of several nutritional deficiencies.
These include deficiencies in fiber, iron, calcium, vitamin B12, folate, zinc, vitamins A, D, E and K and more.  This is because people on a gluten-free diet seem to choose more processed foods labeled as “gluten-free” over nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables Moreover, many gluten-free versions of foods are not fortified with B vitamins, such as folate. Since fortified bread is a major source of B vitamins, people on a gluten-free diet may be at risk of deficiency for these vitamins. This is especially concerning for pregnant women with celiac disease, as B vitamins are vital for the growth of a healthy baby
Cost
Following a gluten-free diet can be difficult on a tight budget. Research shows that gluten-free foods are roughly two and a half times more expensive than their regular counterparts. This is because gluten-free foods cost manufacturers more money to make. For example, gluten-free foods must pass stricter testing and avoid becoming contaminated. 
What are the benefits of following a gluten – free diet:
May Relieve Digestive Symptoms
Studies have shown that following a gluten-free diet can help ease digestive symptoms for people with celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity
Can Reduce Chronic Inflammation in Those With Celiac Disease
A gluten-free diet can help reduce chronic inflammation in those with celiac disease. Several studies have shown that a gluten-free diet can reduce markers of inflammation like antibody levels. It can also help treat gut damage caused by gluten-related inflammation in those with celiac disease
 May Boost Energy
These symptoms may be caused by nutrient deficiencies because of damage to the gut. For example, an iron deficiency can lead to anemia, which is common in celiac disease.
Can Help You Lose Weight
It’s not unusual to lose weight when you start following a gluten-free diet. This is because it eliminates many junk foods that add unwanted calories to the diet. These foods are often replaced by fruit, veggies and lean proteins. However, it’s important to avoid processed “gluten-free” foods like cakes, pastries and snacks, as they can quickly add a lot of calories to your diet.
Especially, I was born and grew up in Vietnam where doesnt have any conception of food allergies. In contrast, Canada have a list of common food allergies . I have never had experiences work in the restaurant or food field before. However , I worked one day at Gluten free bakery where everything related gluten dramaticly inhibit at the store. Therefore, I can imagine if I have to prepare a meal for people who are allergies with egg and milk, I have to ensure both of these ingredient dont appear in my kitchen even the board , knife or other equipment have to ensure dont touch two off this.

extremely detailed character meme (Van, ships: right on target and far from any road)
found this on my dash and i thought i’d fill it in! under a cut b/c it is REALLY detailed! some of the questions don’t apply for me, and i tried to make it easy to tell which ship i’m referring too b/c some things are different here and there 
Character Chart Character’s full name: Van (pronounced vaughn, rhymes with fawn) Miller Reason or meaning of name: None  Character’s nickname: None, aside from petnames Reason for nickname: None Birth date: for ship: right on target: 10/03/1990 for ship: far from any road: 10/03/1970  Physical appearance Age: ship: right on target: 29\ ship: far from any road: 24 in 95, 30 in 02, 40 in 2012 How old do they appear: Perpetually babyfaced. So about 15 or so until they hit their mid 30′s Weight: honestly i don’t know Height: 5′2 (look what’s the point of a self insert if i can’t achieve my dream of being at least five foot tall all right) Body build: stronk.  Shape of face: square ish?  Eye color: grey Glasses or contacts: glasses, doesn’t like them unless they’re sunglasses though, prefers to squint and look like a hamster  Skin tone: pale/sickly at times, tan if they’ve been in the sun, but still very white  Distinguishing marks: pointy canines  Predominant features: nothing really sticks out, van’s physical features are pretty normal Hair color: naturally a muted blonde. prone to dying it a bright yellow in 95 and 02 for ship: far from any road. dyed black for ship: right on target Type of hair: straight Hairstyle: fluffy, over hair sprayed mullet ponytail thing for ‘95, ‘02 has a less hair band style looking thing but still pretty punky, ‘12 Van has what i call the ‘business undercut’ (far from any road). also just a normal, kind of spiky undercut for (right on target) Voice: i dont know how to answer this?  Overall attractiveness: this is just a bad question  Physical disabilities: I’m gonna break this one down because one thing i love about my self inserts is modifying my own, actual disabilities a bit so: far from any road: van has kidney and bladder problems that get progressively worse as time goes on, and undiagnosed celiac disease. because of a severe motorcycle accident in ‘89 they also have a weak/bum leg that is prone at times to flaring up with pain and instability with no warning. after a second motorcycle accident in ‘95, these things get a lot worse. by the time ‘12 rolls around van resigns themself to having traded in their bike years earlier for an actual car and using a cane. they’re not happy about it.  right on target: same kidney/bladder/digestive issues. bum leg is a side effect of general chronic pain caused by it. their leg has a habit of still going out at random, and despite needing a cane sometimes they refuse to use it. lester always keep an eye out in case their leg is about to collapse under them. he’s grabbed them many times to keep them from hitting the ground.  Usual fashion of dress: dark, leather, jeans, punky looking things.  Favorite outfit: leather jacket, motorcycle boots even if they’re not riding, jeans.  Jewelry or accessories: big clunky silver rings. right on target!van has a solid black metal band on their left thumb that matches one lester has.
Personality Good personality traits: tries to be kind, tries to make things better for others at the expense of themself, funny, loves animals,  Bad personality traits: addiction problems, quick temper, far from any road!van likes to hustle people at bars and get into bar fights but usually only if they’ve been provoked  Mood character is most often in: it cycles a lot, so  Sense of humor: good? this is a vague question  Character’s greatest joy in life: photography, making people laugh, alone time Character’s greatest fear: death, being in poverty again/being stuck in poverty,  Why? being poor is Not Fun What single event would most throw this character’s life into complete turmoil? far from any road: something happening to rust. they don’t realize at it first but he’s become their grounding agent, and without him there to balance them out they would not fare well.  right on target: lester’s brief stint of being fucking dead and murdered on TV wasn’t a good time.  Character is most at ease when: it’s cold and rainy out and they have an excuse to stay in bed and snooze.  Most ill at ease when: surrounded by too many people and too many noises. Enraged when: hhhhhhhhhhhhh often? the worst they get is in ‘95 when marty makes a few jabs at their trauma and they beat him bloody before rust pulls them off him.  Depressed or sad when: also often, sometimes for no reason. thats kind of what clinical depression is. Priorities: money. taking care of themself with it in order to be able to help others. Life philosophy: sometimes you don’t have to be great, you can just be okay.  If granted one wish, it would be: ability to change gender/sex characteristics at will. Why? it’s the transgenderism (i use that word satirically and as a joke, for those that don’t know that’s a te]]]rf dogwhistle in other situations, a lot of trans people have taken it back)  Character’s soft spot: their pets and the fact that being a raging asshole is a front they have to actively work at. Is this soft spot obvious to others? depends on the person. to rust? yes. to lester? not as much.  Greatest strength: refusal to give up. Greatest vulnerability or weakness: raging asshole disease and the addiction issues. Biggest regret: developing addiction issues.   Minor regret: it also cycles like their moods. Biggest accomplishment: far from any road: got a bachelor’s degree in sociology before deciding to get into journalism.  right on target: ??? van doesn’t feel accomplished. lester is trying to encourage them at going to college but he’s not very good at it.  Minor accomplishment: “not fucking dead yet, assholes”  Past failures he/she would be embarrassed to have people know about: far from any road: van was never able to find out who it was in the south texas area that was targeting members of the LGBT community, that’s the whole reason they ended up with the crusaders and met rust, they had reason to believe it was someone connected to the gang. despite help from rust, the investigation went nowhere and all they have is a half finished expose.  right on target: they didn’t try to leave an abusive situation sooner. Why? see above Character’s darkest secret: i? don’t know??   Does anyone else know? N/A Goals Drives and motivations: just live the best they can Immediate goals: not die Long term goals: not die, perhaps be less of an alcoholic  How the character plans to accomplish these goals: slowly?  How other characters will be affected: they help.  Past Hometown: --- Type of childhood: traumatic Pets: dogs, frogs, turtles, hamsters First memory: ---- Most important childhood memory: ----  Why:  ------ Childhood hero:------ Dream job: ------ Education: bachelor’s degree for far from any road, GED for right on target Religion: atheistic but understanding and accepting of others Finances: far from any road: not fucking superb, hence the side hustles. right on target: poor  Present Current location: far from any road: Louisiana, i don’t remember TD ever stating where at aside from in the sticks right on target: NYC  Currently living with: rust or lester  Pets: far from any road is various pets at various times, right on target is initially just the doggo. Religion: still the same  Occupation: hustler slash freelance journalist for far from any road, unemployed for right on target Finances: better by 2012 (far from any road) thanks to a boring but stable office job, and for right on target they have lester’s money now and even lester doesn’t know how much he has aside from “a lot”. Family Mother: ------- Relationship with her: nonexistent    Father: Bastard Sr. Relationship with him: nonexistent.  Siblings: sister, older Relationship with them: non existent Spouse: rust/lester Relationship with him/her: i mean in both settings it’s a long term (rust right at around 20 years if you count their time in the crusaders initially, lester about 7 years) so, good if complicated at times Children:  no Relationship with them: none Other important family members: none  Favorites Color: purple, green, black Least favorite color: red Music: prog rock Food: pizza, waffles, hash browns, cereal  Literature: lots! really, its across all genres Form of entertainment: viddy gaems Expressions: what?  Mode of transportation: motorcycle or car  Most prized possession: also motorcycle or car Habits Hobbies: viddy gaemz, photography, sketch comedy  Plays a musical instrument? nah Plays a sport? is pool a sport?  How he/she would spend a rainy day: cozy in bed, s***ing some d***  Spending habits: they are fucking cheap as fuck whether they have money or not Smokes: yes, they say they’re planning to quit but [thor voice] is he though  Drinks: yes, it’s the alcoholism  Other drugs: pills mostly. to be fair they do HAVE to have a lot of meds because of chronic illness but they do love them some benzos  What does he/she do too much of? drinks, sleeps, smokes What does he/she do too little of? healthy food, exercise  Extremely skilled at: hustling. that works in both setting because with rust they learned it themself, with lester he taught them. also, writing.  Extremely unskilled at: art, socialising with people  Nervous tics: knuckle cracking,  Usual body posture: crosses arms a lot  Mannerisms: ???? Peculiarities: ????? Traits Optimist or pessimist? pessimist  Introvert or extrovert? introvert  Daredevil or cautious? cautious  Logical or emotional? both actually, it’s not fun Disorderly and messy or methodical and neat? disorderly and messy, clashes with rust’s methodical and neat Prefers working or relaxing? relaxing  Confident or unsure of himself/herself? switches rapidly between both  Animal lover? yes Self-perception How he/she feels about himself/herself: bad.  One word the character would use to describe self: asshole  One paragraph description of how the character would describe self: no good alcoholic junkie with a shitty temper, a shittier outlook and few skills or worth to bring to the table except a raging selfish streak What does the character consider his/her best personality trait? sense of humor  What does the character consider his/her worst personality trait? temper  What does the character consider his/her best physical characteristic? thicc What does the character consider his/her worst physical characteristic? crippled How does the character think others perceive him/her: badly,  What would the character most like to change about himself/herself: alcoholism  Relationships with others Opinion of other people in general: they try to be cordial, unless they’re in traffic, in which case it’s fuck you and your fucking mother you stupid fucking motherfucker  Does the character hide his/her true opinions and emotions from others? yes Person character most hates: [redacted]  Best friend(s): @dadbodsandbots is p much hanging out somewhere in every setting  Love interest(s): rust and lester  Person character goes to for advice: they don’t, that requires enough vulnerability to admit there’s a problem Person character feels responsible for or takes care of: also rust and lester Person character feels shy or awkward around: van is very uncomfortable around marty most of the time, he reminds them of their father. it smooths out as time goes on, but still. also when lester was stuck with the DA, they didn’t like daken at first  Person character openly admires: ehh?
