Happy June 1-2 timezone purgatory also known as the start of pride month and also Akechi's birthday

#persona 5 #akeshu #shuake #pickle art #the end of may is just like #a flood of what I can only describe as confusing for me #'should I do a thing for akechi's birthday' #'probably not- wait' #and then 'when do I post my art' #'do I follow what the JP side is doing because timezones' #'or...'

Dick or no dick confirmation Pickles was always going to be trans to me anyways; if he's swingin' somethin that's phallo babes, if he's not then his t-dick fat. What's not to get.

#metalocalypse #jay talkin #I'm sorry they wrote that awful gross little man far too likeable and relatable to on a trans level #for me not to hoot and holler and cheer for the trans pickles agenda #changes nothing about his character arc or any of the show anyone is capable of being the kind of person he is #don't make the mistake of thinking thats exclusive to cis men #his transness wouldnt change that #only adds on an extra layer to him that i think works fantastically. #Listen that dude was rejected by his family driven to drink and drugs young to escape that ran away to be in a band #is called fucking Pickles of all things and refuses to tell anyone his real last name; #over the span of four seasons and two movies he slowly starts to learn to be for others what he never had #he becomes more caring more supportive #it's not a stretch to say he undoes some of the toxic masculinity he's been keeping himself shielded behind #and learns how to be a kinder man. #all of which have no contradictions with him being trans! #In fact it doesn't take much extra thought to find ways a lot of this can line up with some trans masculine experiences #i mean. Did no one else have a younger phase where they swung as far as they could into crass rude and uncaring ways #to try and assert their masculinity only to grow and realise that you can be a man and be more caring. #Did no one else have father issues. 1 800 come on now i know those are both shared experiences a lot of us have had LOL. #at the end of the day this show aired nearly 20 years ago and is finished. we're not getting more of it #so nothing is altered nor changed if pickles is canonically trans or not ok. its fine #i mean hell i dont even need canon confirmation hes trans to me and thats all i care abt #but i think if yr getting suuuuuper weird abt needing him not to be canonically trans you have some issues #and bio essentialist ideals of gender if you think only a cis man can act like he does #again. anyone can be like that. its not exclusive. him being trans would not change him in any way shape or form lol #AND ALSO GODDDUUUGH for once i love getting to see a guy pushing 50 whos depicted as trans #do you have any idea how dire and barren it is out here. we never get to see a trans guy older than 30 and whos not a pristine model #I WANT MORE OLD SHLUBBY SHITHEAD TRANS GUYS IN MEDIA

honestly i miss posting more about my reptiles/amphibians/bugs but I can't deal with people asking for care advice all the time ):

#i'm okay helping friends providing very general info but worry a lot of someone just going off what i say and not doing proper research #or just never updating their care after. also some stuff isn't perfect like fat pickle man my pixie mainly eats mice which is Not Great #but he is really fussy with eating and it's the only thing i get him to eat regularly #i still offer him roaches regularly to see if he eats one for me but 9/10 it's a no

save do you have any tips for managing migraines

uhhhhhh lessee

personally i have prescriptions for it cause mine screwed my brain up but obvious ones like proper rest + maybe log what you eat and see if theres any correlation + general put nutrients in your body stuff which is actually kind of hard to keep track of

i have some REALLY WEIRD scent based triggers so i have to stay away from ammonia-like scents and eucalyptus cause those will put my ass out flat IMMEDIATELY, thats not an everyone thing but maybe note if theres sensory stuff around you that might be a trigger

for me warm toned lights and screen tints are way better than cool tones/white light and if youve got light colored eyes wear amber tinted sunglasses outdoors

water + salty snack > pedialite > gatorade and depending on caffeine sensitivity maybe moderate that cause it can either help or hurt, kinda depends on the person, but water and saltines will get you electrolytes and its cheap as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck even if it doesnt taste as great as gatorade

sunlight on your skin and not in your eyeballs

also vitamin d just in general helps but its way better to actually use the sun for that than trying to digest it so like just 10ish minutes in the sun is what my neurologist recommended on top of taking 2000mg tablets

thats what ive got off the top of my head

#im not a neurologist but i dont get them as bad anymore at least #also if learning what you feel like beforehand so you can nip it before it starts helps a LOT #if you can take a painkiller before it starts itll do way more for you #but also dont undertreat it like dont stick it out thats what fucked me up hardcore just take the painkiller #i have to take at least 800mg of ibuprofen if i even sniff a migraine coming on but check with a doc before you do that #i also gotta pair it with sumatriptan and i can only do that 3 times a month Or Else #if ibuprofen doesnt knock it outta me its an er trip and they stuff an iv in me and pump my ass so full of drugs #oh also too much water can also cause migraines #best to stick with the 8 8oz a day thing and not go too far over #but yeah being proactive and preventative is better than coasting and treating them when they come #sometimes ill sip a little pickle juice causenits got magnesium and potassium on top of the sodium for electrolytes #i know food logs arent GREAT but they can help with stuff like this even just kinda checking in on if youre getting everything you need #i go sorta peasant with it like as long as ive had a couple greens in a week i should be good to go #snap peas or artichoke hearts or other really solid veggables #or #god bless #The Cucumber #cucumbers are the powerhouse of the vegatable

today should be a t break day

bc I'll need it to be more effective in the coming days if we see family, and then I'll have the survey shifts

but since late last night i keep randomly nearly breaking into tears and thinking abt the stupidest shit that needs to stay in the box in my brain

so idk. maybe it will be. it is thus far. but I'm not leaving my room without a container of some edible or another in my pocket either

#text post #no idea where the fuck this came from and it kept me up until fucking four in the fucking morning #but only NEARLY crying my body/brain still won't let me FULLY cry #and i did email my prior doc with a 'can i ask u just abt this one current symptom and if it is abt what i think & ill send u 20 bucks even' #she said no to the twenty bucks but said yeah it does sound like my ptsd has been triggered by multiple things over the last year #and the not being able to cry is a part of it. my body's trying to protect me from feeling anything abt it and breaking down #and part of that means not letting the tears fall so there's no physical acknowledgement of any feelings #which is what i was thinking was going on but it's nice to confirm it with someone who knows their shit #doesn't fix it but at least i know. #the thing is that the triggers are like. good? bc im in a healthier safer environment now with ppl that don't do what my mum & fam do to me #but it means my brain is learning just how much of a lot of it Wasn't Normal and was actually Pretty Harmful and that's. #i want my brain to just accept and get over that already tbh. okay so that's the case it doesn't change anything???? #why are we still thinking abt it and having feelings over it at this point bc that feels like a waste of time #there are no apologies I'll get for things that happened from when i was younger and there's no closure it just Is What It Is #I'm tired of even wanting to cry over it when I'd rather be throwing myself into making money & being productive art-wise #it manages to interrupt so many fucking facets of my life like #whatever. anyway considering a music au new draft where ed and izzy meet seth. and immediately offer to kill him for Pickles aksnsjfnfgj

New thought for the day: why are the characters who the narrative goes out of its way to prove are bad and needing to be taken down a peg always the ones popular with and related to by marginalized people? Characters like Loki, Charles Xavier, Jason Todd, who the audience need to be reminded are bad (even if being bad is part of their appeal, or they weren't bad at all and the writers have just decided they are suddenly). It feels very similar to that male writers having disdain for their female audience post, because lbr most cishet men aren't getting deeply invested in Noted Queer Icon Loki Laufeyson or Textually Feminine Charles Xavier. So instead when canon decides the audience aren't being Critical Enough, they decide to tell the audience that no, silly, this character is the reason everything's gone wrong. Don't you feel bad for liking him? Foolish girls*, we know you only care because he's hot.

So Loki throws around gendered insults to prove that he is a sexist cis male (c'mon, were you really expecting us to keep him genderfluid? Child, this is Disney!). Charles gets that weird ass speech about how "it's only the women who do the work around here". Daemon Targeryan chokes a woman explicitly because the audience liked him too much and the writers were pissed.

Silly girls, don't you know how much your favorite characters hate you? Don't worry, we'll remind you. Now promise you'll never like insufficiently masculine characters again.

#Just simmering in vinegar until I turn into a pickle don't mind me #hot take: the only reason Dick Grayson doesn't get this treatment is because there has always been a sizeable male fanbase that likes him t #otherwise you KNOW there'd be an entire subgenre of comics about how Dick is the real bad guy #worse still is there are fans who will always say yuh huh see canon says we were right to hate them unlike Those Other Girls #Or people will claim it's this when it's a character who has been awful from the start #you won't convince me that the reason the Loki show spent an entire first episode telling the audience just how much Loki sucks #isn't because they're pissed at how many people like Loki the wrong way #Jason doesn't get it as bad because he's still appealing to masculine sensibilities but he has his moments #idk this has just been driving me crazy lately #meta #i guess #meta incoherent ranting same thing

[bugeyedfreaks]

I love the Mayor, but tbh he's 100% a creepy, perverted old man lol.

It’s… sad but true. I mean, I love him (and I had a bit of a longer reply to this that I scrapped so I’ll cut this next part short) but I hate the weird little quick jokes in the first four seasons of the show that insinuate that he might be having an affair with/is attracted a little tooooo much to Ms. Bellum or that he hates his wife (a TREASURE and a QUEEN who should be WORSHIPPED he is a LOUSE), and then the jokes in the last two seasons where they significantly dumbed him down and treated him basically like a barely functioning baby. Both were not… great… 😕

#the idea of him being a sugar daddy does kind of crack me up BUT ONLY SO MUCH #if only he thought being a sugar daddy was giving nice ladies a little cash and getting jars of pickle in return idk #that would be cute and wholesome BUT OTHERWIIIIIISE #the longer reply was me going through all the jokes and getting irritated but I won’t do that lol why does it matter sigh #and me getting irritated with YOU KNOW WHO for insisting his little show was super progressive even with things like this going on 🙄 #but again w/e there is no point to me being salty it does nothing and neeeeever has apparently lmao 🙃

[hershelwidget]

I don’t know anymore have a Caleb prepared to Fight for his bestie

“she asked for no pickles” lookin scene

#his character arc from goofy tall guy to Don’t Talk To Me Or My Friends Ever Again is WILD #hershel’s octonauts au #octonauts gups #in all seriousness this scene is based off of the concept of lars making his way onto the ship #caleb and beast both want him DEAD dead #also to explain emma: #she gained a genuine phobia from the trauma of her experience with lars and has nightmares about him like. 3 times a week #bundle that info with the fact that caleb and emma are quite close and badda bam you have the scene #technically speaking emma did ask for no pickles. she asked to not Be the pickles. #i’m normal about these two specifically i need to study their friendship under a microscope #to ramble about caleb for a second sorry- #he had enough soup before his death for the effects to. well. take effect. and he gained a rather mild form of amnesia but still Amnesia #he doesn’t fully remember darwin but knows in his heart that darwin is important to him so he stays near them when possible #(as a result from the trauma of being murdered) he sometimes has moments where he Shuts Down #but he’ll still try to be close to any of his friends ; though those moments bring him closer to emma because she’s usually the one to #guide him when he does that (she does it too) #he wants lars dead because he’s being angry ‘on behalf’ of darwin and emma his two favourite people in the world #obviously thats not really how it works but that’s what he feels is going on #’if not me then who’ type of situation with this guy yk. #also ALSO one time he absolutely destroyed felix because he found out that he’s been manipulating emma so there’s also that #caleb is VERY protective about emma actually. most of the time it’s unnecessary honestly #it only really becomes useful against the other spirits or against lars #like in the picture !! woah it comes full circle i know right #thats my cue to post the thing . sighs . caleb i love you don’t let lars hurt anyone else

#pickle pontificates #girl help is the lilyorcharddungeonmeshi video gonna be what finally drives me to make a video essay now that school's over #or am i just gonna watch it and rant to my sister and then forget about it as usual #OR am i gonna decide to be normal and not watch things i know are gonna make me mad #i barely know anything about The Discourse surrounding her and i do not care #i just know i saw the steven universe video and another one awhile back and i kept watching because i was hoping in good faith #that there would be A Point #but there never was #it's just a really weird anger and vitriol and attempt to justify not liking something by arguing that it's bad #and a stubborn insistence on analyzing the separate parts of a thing without even attempting to see whether there's anything #in how the parts fit together. like that's media analysis 101. you see what's there. you see how it fits together. you interpret it #you turn it around and play with the interpretations #you try to figure out what the author was trying to convey and then you look at what you got out of it and what others got out of it #you acknowledge that stuff can be good and you can still hate it. or you acknowledge that stuff can be bad and you can still like it #and you acknowledge that sometimes stuff is just neutral and may have different effects on different people #not just ''raaaaaagh this character did bad things and is therefore bad and irredeemable and there is no other option'' #newsflash babe. most characters are like that #and like. i acknowledge that there may be ragebait at play here #but i do like engaging with weirdo opinions sometimes because it gives me a chance to articulate my own feelings and investigate why #i feel that way #but i do have to be careful to make sure i'm not just getting off on being mad and falling down the hole for no reason so. we'll see #edit: i remember what it was now it was the writing tips video #it's the weird black and white there's only one way to do art and i'm right about it all the time attitude

The interesting thing about Olivia’s music is that sonically it reminds me of music I’ve heard before but lyrically it’s new and unique.

#olivia rodrigo #GUTS #like every artist will release something that sounds like something else because there’s only so much you can do with the given chords #but I think the issue with Olivia and it got her in a pickle with SOUR is how frequently it pops up in her work #like I’ve already seen people comment on how all american bitch sounds like start over by Miley Cyrus #and the beginning of it reminds me of a song that’s in 10 Things I Hate About You #and the chorus of get him back! reminds me of something but I can’t quite place it yet #but her lyrics and the way she approaches the topics is interesting and unique and I enjoy her perspective

man people who have chronic pain are stronger than any us marine for real. i had a tummyache so bad earlier i had to curl up in bed and do nothing but scroll through tumblr on my phone for like fifteen minutes instead of doing what i wanted (code on the computer). cannot imagine living like that for days at a time on the regular.

#the worm speaks #honestly not sure what caused the stomach ache just that it hit like. five minutes after i finished dinner at most #the only potentially odd thing abt dinner is that i think the cabbage was pickled at home #but i also did not eat a whole lot today in general bc i didn't feel like it so maybe it was protesting having a full meal #who's to say!! but tummyache gone at least

the lack of empathy here ñasdkfja. like sure she enjoys the ego-boost and the attention and all of that is exhilarating (while also putting her on edge and terrifying her) but. seeing him as an individual with inner life and feelings unrelated to her? here Klaus isn't even a person to her LMAO. and I for one LOVE THAT for her.

#it's also part of why i enjoy kc more than any other klaus' dynamic #i just don't care as much for those where the other person has a massive blind spot for him or can't help but relate to him #against their will or whose world is torn apart upon his scorn or or or #now those can be gr10 dynamics specially from the other pov's BUT #on its own the extend of the lack of reciprocation in this one just tickles my pickle xDD #like caroline has actual commonalities with klaus to spare IMO. but she only responds if he's completely caroline-centric trololol #and even in to when things shifted a bit. well. there's definitely room for this reading #stackediaries #plecverse #the vampire diaries #tvd 3x14 #caroline forbes #klaus mikaelson #klaroline #i know this will be taken as ''anti'' but it's not this is genuinely my otp lmao #id in alt text #captioned
