Still stewing over how Riza watched Ed and Al swap sacrifices and probably learned some alchemy basics from her dad (and seems to have aptitude, given she's the one non-Xingese, non-chimera character to sense the homunculi), is willing to mutilate herself, and got pulled out of training to fight because she was just that good of a shot, so in the end she should've gone hey colonel I'm trading my dominant eye for one of yours. This works out for me too since I have to stay in the military for our Big Plan and would rather not be their star sniper anymore. Don't be dramatic about it.

Roy would not like that but what is he going to do, lie in his hospital bed and bitch about it? Ed couldn't refuse Al's sacrifice either. Second instance of someone forcing human transmutation on him but this time it's for his own good. Codependent bestie friendship bracelets partial blindness representing how uncomfortably far the other person will go even when you don't want them to. The Truth doesn't think they're quite grasping the lesson it wants them to learn but eh. Close enough. Leave the Ishvalans out of it.

#Roy using the stone is in character but idk if Arakawa meant it to reflect as poorly on him as I take it #but this is just more elegant and dramatic imo #creative writing professor told me to embrace the melodrama in college #I will editor of a prestigious literary journal....

NAPOWRIMO24 #9: ODE TO A PAIR OF PLATFORM BOOTS

#prompt: write an ode celebrating an everyday object. #i wanted to be kind of playful in the tone of this bc odes are often so formal? i'm not sure abt the outcome #but i wanted to get a poem up before fucking. 8pm for once. usually i just write throughout the whole day #so this was just. alright whatever you can get done within an hour is going up. i would not do this everyday but it was a good exercise #this is so cringe actually though it's extremely funny. it's giving 14 year old writing poetry after a hot topic trip. i'm embracing it #but i'm also wincing as i hit post #napowrimo #napowrimo 2024 #spilled ink #poets on tumblr #poetry on tumblr #poems on tumblr #poetry #poems #writeblr #poem #damien.txt #image description in alt

like when i was in 6th grade i started an original novel that i then abandoned mostly-complete, came back to a few years later, and finished it, out of SPITE because i didn't like seeing it in my drafts and knowing it wasn't done.

and was it cool that i'd written a whole novel? sure! do i wish i'd, like... enjoyed it more? ABSOLUTELY YES. but at the time when i began the story, i had no idea how to write something that would feel like me. when i returned to it, proofreading was a massive pain because i was constantly cringing at what seemed like sixth-grade-me's embarrassingly clumsy attempts at writing something Cool™. i didn't see any way to salvage the story. and that was because all it had originated in was that desire to write something Cool™. that goal drove every creative decision. not a shred of it was genuine. there was nothing to salvage. so i just slapped together an ending, out of a sense of obligation, and that was that.

in 8th grade, i wrote a psychological horror short story about someone trapped in a room full of unsynchronized clocks. i think i'd just read the tell-tale heart. it creeped out everyone who read it. it wasn't at all Cool™. it was leagues, LEAGUES better - more sincere, more committed, more impactful - than that novel i'd started a couple of years earlier.

fanfiction isn't Cool™. fandom is still often cringed at in the Mainstream™. but Coolness and the Mainstream are the death of creativity. if all you're doing is imitating whatever's recently achieved commercial success, it will feel empty. a pastiche of booktok buzzwords is just that.

but if you allow yourself to create something ~cringe~, fully and wholeheartedly, then you can connect with your readers. you can figure out how you want to write. and you'll enjoy the writing process, instead of staring at a draft you started years ago, wondering how to finish it with the minimum possible effort so you can cross it off your list.

#and that's also why ao3 helped me embrace my own ideas #because i could post my writing and find people who genuinely enjoyed it #which developed my confidence in my own ideas #that might be a strange take - 'local writeblr developed confidence in original ideas through fanfiction' #but writing fanfiction very powerfully exercises the 'what if' muscle in your brain #which is the most important tool for any sort of creativity #ao3 was where i found readers who weren't like. my family and friends who wanted to be encouraging #just random people on the internet who liked my writing! #even though they had no personal connection to me! #so then i built up actual faith in myself #aided by experimenting with form and story length and narrative conventions #in an informal fun context #rather than cutting myself off by forcing myself to produce Marketable Material™

I’ve become engrossed in a new MMO adventure/life sim game. Which means time to disappear and be a swamp witch gremlin for awhile.

#the server just went down and I realized I’ve been playing for hours whoops #guess I’ll go do my exercise/eat/shower now 😂 #it’s in beta still so I’m guessing this will happen often but it’s like WOW without any fighting #which I’m loving cause I’m embracing my cozy game era

Very interesting conversation about discipline and doing hard things and the impact that can have in our brains.

y’know if you step back a minute, the way that each political extreme forces the other to say and believe ridiculous things can be quite amusing

#the Left is now forced to consider exercise fascist and that's pretty funny tbh #by contrast the Right's open embrace of everything of which the Left has accused them is #well it's more threatening than humorous #but what can you do

sure, i've exited out of fics because of "he would not fucking say that," but on the flip side of that same coin, i've kept reading those fics because they were genuinely well-written and i wanted to see where it would go

#currently reading an au where it's clear the writer just wanted to play around with the character and their fantasies #by placing them in a setting that is so far removed from the original media's context #that it technically doesn't have to be that character anymore. just a face claim at this point #but i think au's like this are Good actually #good exercise for the growth of the writer because they aren't limiting themselves to the world of the show/movie/whatever #which means they have way more freedom. which also means that if they wanted to #they could remove their fic #edit it and then publish it themselves #like. idk! i don't think that's a bad thing. #i embrace it and i'm here to give them their kudos

at the same time i've tried so hard to unpack and re-pack and unpack all the reasons why i do or don't like different ships trying to triangulate the reasons or the tropes that will yield the Algorithm of the Ideal Ship and i've failed so many times that tbh the real answer to the question of "why do you like any given ship? why do you want them to kiss??" is simply because it slaps and it came to me in a dream

#the most useless navel-gazing exercise tbh. why do i like the thing. how do i REPLICATE the thing #what are the signs that i will like the thing?? #pointless and sisyphean task #simply vibe and intuit. listen to the songs of the sea and sky. and when you are ready the joy-sparking anime ship will appear to you #deny the cold tyranny of knowing. embrace mystery and discovery

I’ve decided I’m gonna get real artsy again, minus the pretension I used to carry around. Gonna use that to carry my desire to dress fun bc I’ve been feeling a bit self conscious wearing what I want to out n about. Which is silly.

#me #I wore my jumper today bc it was 95F & we don’t have AC #it’s thin & cool like exercise material #which I usually can’t stand #but at this heat I can really only do linen or that #& it’s cute & it makes me feel cute!! #wore it out for a few errands & another lady #who was GLAMOROUSLY dressed #chatted with me a bit #she had a very artsy vibe #I want to embrace it too #I go through waves

How do you feel about the Ziyech/Aboukhlal thing generally? Like are you going to keep supporting them?

going to put this under a cut bc it's long and i totally respect if people don't wanna read lmao

i don't really follow many of the other players on the national team closely aside from ziyech so there's that but (and not to scrutinize your word choice here) i feel like support doesn't really encapsulate the dynamics of the situation accurately, at least for some gay muslims like me. like do i like any of it? no. it's obv disappointing. but i also think people are kind of naively if not outright ignorantly loath to the reality of much of the muslim diaspora, esp those with an impoverished upbringing

second generation immigrants born into socially liberal muslim families are really lucky, but for a lot of us that’s not the reality. many muslims immigrate having come from already socially conservative backgrounds that are subsequently exacerbated by their poor economic circumstances. our parents are economically and racially / ethnically isolated in a new country and that makes them even more vulnerable to conservative support systems here, particularly religious ones that reinforce regressive cultural values. it’s easy to write off entire populations or groups of people for being inherently “backwards” but for a lot of us it’s a matter of opportunity and well timed exposure to break free of certain ideologies ingrained in our upbringing. and many young muslims don’t even experience that opportunity at all. i’m lucky to have broken away from many of the cultural values i grew up with, but there were several factors that played a part in that. my parents were not internet savvy at all so i was on tumblr / twitter from a young age and befriended other gay people here. i stopped going to islamic school pretty early despite maintaining my own belief in my faith. i grew up in a school district that was overwhelmingly white and had no irl muslim friends before i entered uni (although this was an admittedly smaller factor at play bc most of the white people in my school district were republicans. but it was a factor in the sense that i was surrounded by people who encouraged parental rebellion and questioned my family's values so while that had harmful effects in some areas it helped in others, even though the peers i grew up around were largely homophobic themselves). and probably most significantly, i was never really a well-behaved kid. i've always been someone to talk back, speak my mind, resist social conformity. it has led to me having a very poor relationship with my parents at times but as i already mentioned it's helped in other ways, like establishing my own beliefs free of religious / cultural influence. and to reemphasize, i was very lucky. most of the people in my religious / cultural community are openly homophobic. i am in all likelihood a closeted rarity here

all of this to say, when those socially regressive values expose themselves within our communities, it's not that they shouldn’t be condemned. they should. but it’s so easy to write off people and give no thought to the environment that’s nurtured them to begin with. it's a product of decades of enforced patriarchy and heteronormativity that has only been exacerbated in the dire economic circumstances many immigrants are put through when they uproot their entire lives. all too many of them turn to religion without recognizing that not all of what they're told actually makes sense. and by the time they acquire wealth, if they do, it's a matter of already having spent years in these communities and circles. no amount of proximity to social liberalism or wealth can actually change their views if the people they're still hanging out with share those values. which is why it's really frustrating to see people act like unlearning culturally ingrained homophobia is like turning on a light switch. it’s not. it’s hard, it’s a daily struggle, and it’s insulting to assume immigrants are automatically prone to liberalization merely by virtue of living here. i wish it was that easy. i wish my parents could just wake up one day and recognize some of the beliefs they have are nonsensical so that i could actually tell them i’m bisexual. but that’s not how reality works, and more people should understand that. gay muslims who struggle to help their parents and peers recognize the hypocrisy of culturally ingrained ideology should have way more say in the treatment their communities deserve from society than those who have no understanding of nor exposure to that dynamic at all

and to be clear, non-muslim gay people are under no obligation to condone these figures or people in their community. on the contrary, they're fully entitled to being upset, disappointed, etc. but i also think it's all too easy to approach it like it's a black-and-white situation when it's not. you (figurative "you" here, am not targeting you) have no idea what it's like to live with people you love dearly who nonetheless continue to hold deeply regressive values. i have gotten into so many arguments with my mother over homophobia (among a range of other issues) and i remain committed to getting into those arguments bc i care about her and i want her to recognize that what she's being told by lecturers, scholars, etc., doesn't actually make sense. not everyone has that kind of stamina nor has to have it, esp in situations where extensive abuse is involved. i'm very lucky that my mom never resorts to that and fields these arguments with me even if it's supremely hard to win her over on them. no one is obligated to stay or try to reason with a parent verbally or physically abusing them for their identity. but personally speaking, those situations aside, there is no hope for some of our communities if we take an approach of simply leaving people behind to eternally stew in their regressive values. i feel like it's so bleak to wait for regressive people in our communities (i.e., oppressed communities and figures, not people in positions of political power who enact oppressive policies in turn) to die before we move into a new era. i want to take my parents with me into that new era even if it takes everything in me to make it happen, bc i know at their heart they're not bad people, they've simply been shaped by decades of regressive views that it will take extensive work and consistent challenge to unlearn. i can admit that's a very idealistic view of things but it's one i've embraced personally

so like. do i support the statement from aboukhlal? no. but i also feel like having grown up the way i did i'm not really going to be one of those people who's like wow the moroccan nt are automatically scum and i can't ever believe i thought they would be perfect socially liberal men completely aligned with modern day progressive values re: sexuality and gender. like it's a bit delusional to think that way yknow. this is one niche of social views where they are unfortunately regressive and i really hope they meet people in their lives who can help challenge those views. but i simply think it's too easy to blame individual people for the products of cultural upbringing that they've simply never bothered to question (esp where many are not party to the same factors or inclination towards parental disobedience that i was). and that becomes even more significant when this blame is used to exacerbate and justify racism against them in turn. like maybe there's a slim chance aboukhlal did say "where we live, women don't talk to men like that." but when the person he allegedly said that to immediately refuted it and he never had a history of behaving that way with female coordinators in the national team, not to mention never had any problems at toulouse prior to this incident, what do you think the chances are of it being legit? it feels way too convenient. i don't like what he said in his statement, but i honestly think the story with the toulouse official is complete bs and being used to freeze him out of the team

#cw homophobia #like at the end of the day. do i think he needed to do all this over a rainbow number on a jersey. no #but the fallout is kind of ridiculous when you take necessary context into account #also have talked to some mutuals since last night about this who i know felt anxious about the whole thing so like #if you think this encapsulates what we're all feeling well. feel free to reblog #in any case like i already said i'm not one to attach myself to celebrities to the point of delusion #but i simply want to embrace reality and exercise some patience here. personally. even if i am annoyed and disappointed #outbox

This is your gentle reminder to stop whatever you're doing and stretch your body, neck to toe. :)

Do take time to exercise during your day, or at least stretch yourself as a cat a couple of time every day. It'll only take 5 minutes. It can last more ofc. You can work accordingly on how you feel, how exercised you are, how much time you have (or feel you have)... I'd even suggest you to start with the bare minimum to get accostumed to the new routine.

It's healthy to take breaks, remember. You cannot work 24/7 and only stop to eat, sleep and go to the bathroom when you cannot wait anymore. You have enough time, don't worry. And if you feel too down to work and move, just try any simple movement. Just one, the day you feel more like twirling over your bed. Such a movement is good for your back and help you release a lot of tension all at once (and it's funny too: lay on your back, legs at 90°. Put your right leg over your left, and try to reach the ground or bed with your right knee. Stay there for a few seconds, then back up, put your right foot back on the gorund/bed, and repeat with your left leg).

It'd be better if you could stretch at least once in the morning and once in the evening. But honestly, you can do that as many time as you feel like), maybe near a window and under a ray of sun (but honestly it works anyway).

Don't see stretching breaks as an obligation, but as an act of love for your whole self.

After every stretching moment, you'll get an instant mood boost, I promise you.

So, it's 15°C here (59° F) and I just took a cold shower. I do it twice a week, mondays and thursdays (the days that I happen to intermittent fast) having a fixed day helps with the discipline, because I can't know what the weather will be like on those days, sometimes might be a warm day and sometimes not.

There's a bunch of benefits to it, but what I enjoy the most is exposing myself to the cold, to the uncomfortable, doing it even though my body fights me through it, helps me to remain in control. Also helps dealing with discomfort in life, which just like the weather, we can't control it, but we have control on how we respond to it!

Stay frosty guys, Batman out! 💪🏼🦇🥶
