the fact that doctors can just Recommend Weight Loss with no instructions beyond ‘eat healthier/less’ is actually insane to me, i lost weight on purpose ONCE and it took me like 6 years to recover a semi-normal relationship with food and hunger
so sorry for disappearing :( i miss yall lots. i open tumblr every day and think ill finally reply to people and reply to asks but then i just don't do it. i feel bad that i always have to come here and apologize (even though i know i shouldn't have to or feel the need to) and i always feel like im being down 24/7 /:
truthfully i stepped away because my depression has been at it's worst and everything is beginning to feel like a chore and i don't want to bring that energy here at all :(
i miss you guys and i'm going to try and get my shit together soon and reply to everyone. hope everyone is well ❤️
I've always liked the hc that Jellicle Mac, Munk and Tugger are brothers, but recently I've been kinda rethinking it as I work on my main au
I still hc Munk and Tugger as (half)brothers, I just like this dynamic for them sue me, and that Munk and Mac had a really close relationship before Mac left the tribe
But now I don't know if it was close as in close friends or partners, or close as in brothers. I mean both would work, but it's just a different flavour of the thing and I don't know which one fits my story better
I mean Mac isn't really the antagonist of this story‚ it's Mefistrap slow burn strangers to friends to lovers or whatever, and Mac just shows up sometimes to cause some chaos or whatever, which sometimes happens to move the plot forward. But he is there a lot in spirit between how similar him and Feliks are in the magic powers department and his relationships with Munk‚ two Demeters and Bombas and some other cats
Like, Mac and Feliks have an extremely similar power set and it does mess with Munk's head a little a lot. Mac literally puts on an illusion on himself and pretends to be Feliks to trick Munk into getting close enough for an easy hit. Which later prompts Feliks to actively pursue a relationship with Munk cuz Munk's description of what happened makes him realise there's more than just friendly vibes between them and he may have a chance with him
And also just a lot of Munk comparing the two of them cuz hey two magical cats he knows that can make fire, mind control everyone around them and stuff
But is he comparing his friend turned lover to his brother or to his ex friend/lover?
god I know this is like The Wrong Stance on AI. I know its not about whether the art is Real and Human or If It Has A Soul and how a lot of the arguments against it are the same bullshit arguments people made against digital art like I Know. I Knowwww. but god, I'm really sorry, not to post like one of those annoying poetry bloggers I cant stand (yall are valid, live your truth, theres nothing wrong with what you post I'm just a petty bitch who hates poetry. unless I dont hate it.)
But theres just something about the way AI art will almost certainly never be able to mimic the exact way my pencil leaves an indentation in the paper, the way some of the lines I can never fully erase cause I pressed too hard, theyll have to at least train them to draw with a physical pencil first, and sure, they could train it to draw with a pencil and even erase the exact same piece I drew, line for line, on a piece of paper with a robot arm powered by AI, but they can't replicate. idk. the lineage of lefty bitches in my family, and the way I grew up going through school with my entire left arm silver with graphite, from doodling on my schoolwork. not yet anyway. but I guess I do live for the day we make the ai sentient enough that we can traumatize it by giving it homework after kneecapping its executive functions so it copes by drawing a big tiddy lobster monster. sure
we have these baubles with a bunch of our family's names written with these glitter glue pens or whatever they are
and this time around my mom changed mine to my new name
and i kinda wanna cry about it
cause i walked down the stairs to the living room and i saw them all resting on towels and drying
i sat down on the couch to just look them over
i was searching for my bauble but i tried to act like i wasn't, don't think i was actually too subtle about it but i pretended
there were baubles with the names of our pets, half siblings, nephews and i found mine
and my mom had changed it
i had a hunch she might've, it's just like her to do something like that
but idk i guess it just kinda really drove home the point that i am accepted and this is all real? it's not some elaborate daydream or something i came up with after fantasizing about coming out and all
im just feeling some trans joy
sorry it's 4am i can't sleep but i am thinking and feeling and my family accepts me and im just overwhelmed with it all and ahshdjfjfjshhdnffmmgvm..... y'know
