Obsessed with Fyodor’s as yet unknown backstory today. And not just in the ‘I need to know’ way but… idk there’s something about the way he seems to wholeheartedly believe that what he is doing will result in the removal of sin. Thinking about how he doesn’t have a god complex but is instead a follower of what he believes to be god’s will. Thinking about how he places himself as above others anyways by taking their free will from them. I think about how his ability didn’t attack him and instead seems to be working with him. The gem is in his hand, the hands he kills with, the righteous hand? I think about that gakuen profile that I can’t find anymore but I know I saw where his likes are generally good and selfless things like peace, and about how, if this is true, he’s been an extreme idealist all along. I think about how senseless violence, the people who can’t stop killing each other, seem to disgust him. That he wants to cleanse it. That he repeatedly uses the very thing he wants to cleanse as a weapon regardless. I think about him and Dazai being foils and wonder if his plan to remove the sin of ability users includes his own self-destruction. I wonder where his self-assurance in the necessity of his cruelty and the perfection of God’s intentions comes from. I wonder how old he actually is.
As funny as the idea is to me that he’s just like that… is it kind of weird that I hope whatever his deal is ends up being a gut-punch?

Lmao one of my friends is getting married in August so the friend group is planning trips etc. and my friend and her partner were thinking of flying into the us and then roadtripping from here (New Mexico) to LA, which I had volunteered to drive for and to take everyone to the Grand Canyon on the way, you know, all that jazz
So they are trying to buy tix from Heathrow to Denver and then not fly here but instead drive which is six hours and I’m kind of like… have yall ever driven for that long before, let alone on the wrong side of the road in a backwards car? Like my American ass did the 5 hour drive from London to wales once, first time doing the wrong car on the wrong side thing, and let me tell you I loooove long driving roadtrips and six hours is literally my preferred length of driving day but that 5 hours s u c k e d oh my god I was so scared the whole time, just white knuckling it the whole way.
They want to spend as many days in Colorado as possible, which is great and all, but still need to come here to meet me and, theoretically, take my truck to LA instead of a rental car. And I just know that if they drive all day to get here they won’t want to do anything the next day because they’ll be exhausted, so we won’t do anything fun and I won’t get to show them around and stuff and then we’ll get right back in the car for two more days. And I get a little irked when people don’t consider that there is, in fact, tourist stuff to do here. Honestly tourist stuff is the only stuff to do in this whole damn state, and where I am is just Colorado Adjacent™️, same damn landscape. but when I moved out here I thought it was gonna be like the Sahara or some shit, so I assume that’s what they’re thinking, and I don’t know how to make it clear to them that they should spend two days here if they intend to drive from Denver so they can see stuff, and if they tell me the kind of stuff they want to see, then I can plan accordingly. Because I think we’ll all be sad if they don’t get to spend any time here, because they’ll get here and go “oh wow it’s actually pretty, I would’ve liked to check it out” and idek? I don’t want to be pushy but may have to be like “listen if you bypass me because you think there’s nothing to do here I will be butthurt about it and feel like I missed out on sharing my new life with you” because I mean I’ve never been to Denver so maybe it’s awesome and they should just stay here but… don’t you want to come crash for free and let me chauffeur you around and go to ruins and tourist traps and national parks and go swimming in beautiful mountain streams and have a ride on my pony? I guess it’s one of those “I would love this, why don’t other people love this” kind of things

One thing about me is if Jurassic Park really existed, like if they actually made dinosaurs again, I would be first in line. First. In. Line. You could tell me they plan on letting them all loose the next day and I would still go. No hesitation.
It’s dinosaurs.

autistic review of loop earplugs
so i’ve seen tons of ads for loop earplugs and i kinda thought they were a bit of a scam (not literally but like they didn’t seem like they’d actually be good) but i gave them a try on the recommendation of a friend and omg this helps SO MUCH when i’m overstimulated
so i just wanna say if you struggle with overstimulation (i have autism and adhd for reference) i can genuinely recommend the engage plus earbuds. you still hear yourself a lil louder in your head but it’s not as bad as with normal earbuds and i am not bothered by my own breathing or heartbeat with them which is a huge difference compared to regular earplugs (they’re still a little more noticeable than without earplugs, though!!!)
without the mute rings added i can have a conversation with them in well enough without the other person noticing i have earplugs in as well (i got the yellow colour which also isn’t very noticeable on light skin) which is nice. besides lowering noise they also generally give me a bit of a distanced feel, sound-wise, while talking, which i find comforting.
i do NOT recommend wearing them while eating, though, since my own chewing is too loud with them still.
in conclusion, they truly help avoid having a complete meltdown and/or wanting to murder everyone around you for their non-noiseless existence when you don’t want to/can’t put on headphones, so i can actually recommend you try them if you’re on the fence about them like i was.
small update:
i’ve had them for several months now and if anything i’d recommend them even more. wearing them makes outdoor activities where i can’t wear headphones (for example shopping with a friend) so much better! i also wore them at the cinema when a movie was too loud for my taste.
hands down my most common use is for wearing indoors when there are loud people outside, though. we live in a busy neighbourhood and there’s often playing (read: screaming) children outside and the like. i’d previously wear my headphones for this but i find the earplugs much nicer (less sweaty on my head for long periods of time) and they still allow me to hear my partner if he comes into the room and talks to me.
if you live in an apartment building and are bothered by noise of your neighbours, these are also a game-changer for sure.
after two months, i am even considering getting a second pair to keep in my coat pocket just so i don’t have to worry about forgetting them. 12/10, would recommend.
