I've been thinking about the tragedy of Elizabeth Woodville living to see the death of her family name.
I don't mean her family with her husband, which lived on through her daughter and grandson. I mean her own.
Her sisters died, one by one, many of them after 1485. When Elizabeth died, only Katherine was left, and she would die before the turn of the century as well.
All her brothers died, too. Lewis died in childhood. John was executed. Anthony was murdered. Lionel died suddenly in the peak of Richard's reign, unable to see his niece become queen. Edward perished at war. Richard died in grieving peace. For all the violence and judgement the family endured, it was "an accident of biology" that ended their line: none of the brothers left heirs, and the Woodville name was extinguished. We know the family was aware of this. We know they mourned it, too:
“Buy a bell to be a tenor at Grafton to the bells now there, for a remembrance of the last of my blood.”
Elizabeth lived through the deposition and death of her young sons, and lived to see the end of her own family name. It must have been such a haunting loss, on both sides.

they really did her dirty
like i understand starguardians are supposed to be anime and cute and whatever the fuck but league already doesnt have women that leave the mold or leaves the mold without having necessarily conventionally attractive traits (like two of the older women having close to no wrinkles and curvy bodies) and idk man, i know its not that important but it feels weird removing all the seams and gaps from orianna even if she’s not a real human (without mentioning now she just looks like riven with a dress LMAO)

i had a scarily bad depression moment (if you catch my drift) at work on thursday during a meeting where the topic of conversation and the things ppl were saying were directly (and slightly intentionally?) contributing to my distress and im past that moment now but i feel so haunted by it. by the thoughts i was having and the fact that i had them and the fact that i was witnessed in that moment but they didn’t know how bad it was. and im also feeling vulnerable to being back in that place again

Hi Cece! I don't know where else to ask about this, but are people aware that Somik-Severinka completely stole another simmer's notes and then went and monetized all the custom recipe stuff? I thought it is about time to say something somewhere, because they've gone a long time now without giving any credit or thanks whatsoever. Thank u and I hope you have a good day!
Hey idk anything about this bestie, I don't really know the creator you're talking about very well. If you have proof of this I'd say try going to the original creator and seeing what they have to say about it, if they want to say something I'll gladly boost their voice on the subject but otherwise there isn't much I can offer. It's not my work/tou so it's more up to them to speak about if they find it necessary I suppose? If the original creator makes/made a post feel free to drop me the link and I'll reblog it though.

I love that u rbed that get mad at people post cause im literally going thru that shit rn!!! Like there really is a breaking point after communicating so clearly "hey this sucks please dont do it" Over and over and nothing ever changes and its literally like. Ive fuckin had enough lol. I dont just lie down and take it when people give me shit over and over.
YESSS literally recognizing when enough is enough is so freeing. and its so so painful to watch people endure and endure and endure bc society decided that forgiving and forgetting is the be all end all of healing. it isn't. sometimes healing starts with taking a knife to a rope and screaming that you won't let it drag you around any more.
i love you boundaries i love you paradox of tolerance i love you justified anger i love you self-compassion and rage going hand in hand i love you denial of second chances I LOVE YOU CATHARSIS AND HEALING AND CULTIVATING A HEALTHY SOCIAL LIFE etc etc,

beard really is just out here “i feel so much pain and guilt that ted stuck with me through my terrible recovery from meth, that he had to take time off work to help me, that he had to do things he never should have” like my brother in chr*st, yeah while what ted went through w that was bad and hard during that time, you were LITERALLY the one going through worst things….you were the one actually detoxing, and suffering from the struggles of withdrawal.

saw my neurologist today, and i brought up how there's looking to be more and more evidence that lots of cases of fibromyalgia are actually cases of undiagnosed small fiber neuropathy, and that treating the sfn helps.
and so i brought up potentially getting tested for sfn bc of that and he was like oh, have you been diagnosed with fibro? and i was like yeah, a rheumatologist i saw several years ago said i had it after doing a trigger point thing. and he was like ah, ok, what options were you given for treatment? and i was like 😮......none?? and he was like 😬. anyway that was me realizing that that was fucked up lol.
but! he asked some more questions and was like yeah i definitely think sfn is worth looking into. i've apparently got even more things indicating potential sfn than i realized. so i'm gonna go in for testing for that in a few weeks.
anyway it's wild. i've had pain p much constantly for ages but i haven't prioritized it bc as awful as it is, the extreme extreme exhaustion was an order of magnitude worse. so bad i can't truly comprehend it now that i'm not experiencing it constantly. literally unimaginably horrible. but since i've been getting help with that from the nadolol actually treating my POTS (which!!! incredible!!! i can LEAVE BED! i can THINK!), i've been able to like, notice and want to do something about the pain too, finally. and hopefully this will lead to help with that.
