#a lil rant

[ellooo0ooo]

It's been days and I don't really know. I've been thinking a lot lately and my indecisive brain still won't decide skskskks

For days, I've been thinking of drawing an OC for Umbrella Academy. But like I said, I'm having doubts since I saw some (in other fandoms) that it was considered "cringe" and be labled as something else yada yada...

Also, not only that, I've been contemplating writing a fanfic with the same series, seeing there's only a few, and I really want to, but here yet again, my freaking brain doubting my writing skils and think it wount be good, writing wise and plot wise. That it won't reach anywhere AKTSGMSGKSYKDYOD

AAAAAAHHHHH WHAT THE HECK

on tiktok and this creator who post fics from many fandoms is talking about zutara fics and recs. this creator does talk about HP fics. mostly drarry and dramoine. tell me why a j€gulus is commenting on the zutara rec video and recommending j€gulus fics. the creator then says she’s not into them and the account continues to influence them. this is getting out of hand. ship what you want and let people do the same. but their need to coral every single stan they see needs to be studied as if by having such a large fandom they can somehow change canon and completely earse ships that compete with them.

I really loved the image at the end of today's letter. The ghost of some wealthy lady writing love letters so many years ago, in the same place Jonny Boy now writes about his nervous breakdown and anxiety-inducing host.

Wonderful, impeccable vibes. I love this book what the fuck

I’m pressed like this sushi lol

Ya so I came across an article about an actor discussing his ~physicality (I can’t name names bc his stans will put me on watchlist lmao), and it reminded me of when Jon Hamm literally went ham over ppl objectifying him in grey sweatpants and spreading rumours about how the Mad Men directors had to specifically ask him not to freeball on set bc his junk was too big or whatever.

From this Slate article

Do men realize how tone deaf they are when they say shit like this? I guess it’s pretty cold of me to have zero sympathy for him but like…

It’s the lack of insight for me fam… like ya, his feelings of discomfort are legit but he’s speaking as if he’s so shocked and stunned and affronted that something like this could happen to him, an Actor.

Rly?? u have truly never heard of this happening before? Like, not from any of the many female co-stars u have worked with?? Or just like, as a general issue that women have in the workplace??

Why are u saying “part of the deal” as if u aren’t aware of the fact that ppl have been using the “don’t be famous/act/go out in public/been seen if u can’t handle public scrutiny about your appearance” line on women since before u were born? My brother in Christ there was even a Marilyn Monroe storyline in Mad Men lol.

The fact that this incident is newsworthy to him and worth bringing up as a talking point speaks volumes bc I feel like an actress in the same boat wouldn’t be able to do the same w/o experiencing severe backlash…I mean, ppl would automatically be like “Mamma Mia, here we go again 🙄🙄🙄”

And it’s always a lose-lose situation when women try to contribute to the body image discourse

Eg: a “conventionally attractive” Hollywood actress mentions how difficult it is to meet the film industry’s standard of beauty

Response: shut up Margot Robbie/ScarJo!! it’s not your place to talk about this!! U are obviously a 10 so stop lying about having image issues 🙄

Eg: an attractive but not “Hollywood attractive” actress

Response: shut up Amy Shumer/Mindy Kaling!! Why are u complaining about how u are size 6/8/10/whatever when the average person is a size 12/14/16!! Stop acting like u are fat for attention 🙄🙄

It’s like on one hand, ppl who “have nothing to complain about” are shamed for discussing their insecurities, but then when “plus size” actresses (who may or may not actually be plus sized) visibly lose weight, everyone is like “wow, way to give in to the industry standards!! U are letting down other women!! U should just embrace being fat and take one for the team!!”

Anyway do u guys this I guessed this book correctly or

some men don't deserve a wife or a woman who gives a damn about them because they just feel entitled and care way more about their male friends (no homo tho)

I am FURIOUS

My sister Tola (who just lost weight) and I were bodyshamed today (I was fat shamed and she was skinny shamed), by the same three people. We'll call them Deji, Deji's wife, and Deji's brother.

And even though, I know that it's unfair to say because body shaming is bad and no one should be judged for, and by how they look or how much they weigh, I still would have chosen the way she was shamed over mine.

Her's went like this,

Are you sick? You look like you're sick? Do you even eat? You should start eating more, just like your sister( points at me. 🥺). Is it because of the school stress? Of course it's because of the school stress, she's a medical student. You are starting to look frail.

While mine went more like this,

Deji's wife: you have gotten so big, you now look like me 😄 ( no, that's not comforting, I don't want to look like you at this stage in my life, you're a 40something years old woman with three children, I think you're excused to be bigger, I'm not😭😭).

Deji: you are the one eating all the food in the house, at least leave some for the rest, especially your sister here. Look at that she(me)'s even eating something now (I literally just had mentos in my mouth, so I don't have smelly breath in front of our vip guests).

Deji's brother: yes o, if she's this fat now, by the time she has children, she'll be sooo big(demonstrates how I won't be able to sit in a chair).you should start reducing how much you eat.

What made this more painful is that I didn't eat after breakfast yesterday(intermittent fasting) and today they came right after I ate breakfast (so imagine how guilty I felt for even eating).

And even though, my sister, bless her soul, actually defended me and told them not to make those kinds of comments to anyone anymore, the damage had been done at that point. The words had been said, the words had been heard, and the words had been taken to heart.

And while I tried to convince my sister and myself that it didn't really affect me. It did.

What if that was my 13th reason why? And while it mayn't be my 13th reason, it is getting so close to it. Another thing, while they were saying these things, I felt apologetic, like, the need to apologize for being fat.

After they left, I unconsciously put some rice in my mouth while serving my mom's food, and I immediately remembered what they said and let's just say, I , for the first time, knowingly said some unkind words to myself.

I'm so sad today, and every waking minute since they left this morning, I've been on the verge of tears and I'm trying to keep it in, but I don't know what I'll do if anyone mentions anything about weight to me today.

A little rant that feels disappointing to write out- (Feel free to completely ignore this)

DON'T PURPOSELY DO THINGS TO SCARE A PERSON WHO HAS ASKED YOU MANY TIMES TO STOP. Like I get if you forget once or twice but it's not okay to make fun of and try to bother people with certain fears. Just today the amount of times my OWN FAMILY made fun of my germophobia isn't okay, It can get so bad to the point I'm afraid to leave the house because of how dirty it could be outside. It's not fun to feel like that and it's not cool. If people are scared of something leave it at that. It's not just me being a whiny baby (even though I normally am heh-) but it's basic etiquette and human kindness!! And on the point of basic human kindness, don't make fun of people's interests :( It can be so painful to excitedly tell somebody something only for them to tell you to be quiet or that they feel bad for themselves for "putting up with you". Just be a nice person!! It's not that hard :((

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.

as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."

NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

#this is just me ranting sorry #im very tired and hungry #and i want to sleep but brain go brrrrr #well i used to be nice and smart and now im neither of those or however the song goes #pretty sure he was exaggerating cause looking back. it was good. but some of the wording was a lil wonky #adhd #actually adhd #executive dysfunction #actually neurodiverse #adhd paralysis #adult adhd #attention deficit hyperactivity disorder #adhd hacks #academia #neurodivergent #adhd skill regression #confessions of a burnt out gifted kid #<< i guess #former gifted kid #burnt out gifted kid #gifted kid burnout #realizing i sound rly pretentious here sorry -- formal speech patterns i picked up as an autistic child and never put down again haha

[briannasroger]

I'm in this awkward place in life where some days I'm like "Yeah, I don't need to be in a relationship, I like my life the way it is" and then other times where I'm like "well, I mean, I do actually want to date people and stuff. I want that experience still" and its so WEIRd.

So many people in my life are finding someone and caring about them and yes I know its totally normal for people to move at their own pace, that there's no alarm clock for this sort of thing. BUt I still want to experience it! I want to meet someone and carea bout them and get my heartbroken!

I want this with friends, and I want it with lovers, and its so hard because I've realized something else: i'm barely likeable as a sister, as a friend, let alone as a lover. And I don't mean this to talk down to myself, I mean it in the sense that I'm picky and rude and easily get my feelings hurt and knee-jerk push people away when they get close. Like! I'm working on those things, but now it feels like I have no idea how to branch out more. How to meet people, how to care about them, how to engage with them.

I know how to make friends online. How do I do that in the rest of my life? Online isn't enough anymore, at least not forever.

Ok so

I work in grooming, so I see a lot of dogs. I see a LOT of overweight dogs at my job. Not a little chubby, not family pet fat, I could give a fuck if fluffy has an extra pound or two on them. I mean reducing quality of life fat. I mean joint pain, buckling legs, can barely walk, huffing and puffing constantly. Your pets should, depending on breed ofc*, have a distinct waistline and you should be able to easily feel their ribs (light fat coverage). They should be able to walk, run, use steps, etc easily (depending on health ofc). And NO, they should not get fat with age, at around 7 they're considered seniors and you should usually reduce their calorie intake to account for slower metabolism. Honestly pay attention to life stage for feeding, cause around 1&1/2 to 2 usually is when I see dogs start getting fat. Adding fiber like pumpkin and veggies can help them feel fuller and help with weight.

AND KEEP THEM MOVING, so many dogs can avoid joint pain by keeping low strain activity. Walk your fucking dog. Play fetch. Throw treats. Something. If you can't do that, you shouldn't have the dog.

*breeds have different standards. A healthy look for a sighthound would be a malnourished one for a mastiff. Pay attention to muscles, sighthound hammys dont lie

That all said, if your dog struggles with their weight, especially suddenly, one, feed a better qaulity food. Two, GET THEM CHECKED OUT. Thyroid, diabetes, and other hormone problems can be the cause. Properly managing your dogs weight and health means you'll notice these health problems sooner. I know it's convenient to leave food out, I used to, but feeding meals means you can moniter your dogs intake and know their appetite. Pay CLOSE attention to water intake, urination, and defication. I've seen what late stage diabetes looks like in a dog, I've seen how it kills. Its horrific, it is sad, and it can be avoided if you pay attention and get them to a vet and managed quickly. And I pove feeding scraps and treats too, but your dog will be just as enthusiastic with a bite of a hamburger as a whole. They make low calorie treats, and I usually opt for high protein or meat only treats.

Your pets rely on you to manage their health, they rely on you for their food. I guarantee you, your dog does not need as much food as you think it does. I see SO many owners get offended when their dog is called fat. The dog has no concept of body image, but they can feel the effects of an unhealthy weight for them. Some dogs dog struggle with weight even with no apparent health issue, I realize, but you as their caretaker owe them the effort.

you know what boils my blood.

over the last 2 weeks, i've seen countless patients walk into my urgent care center, symptomatic for so many things, refusing to get tested for covid and flu, citing that they don't want to knowingly bring it to their holiday tables. i had a patient tell me, verbatim, "i don't want to test for covid, because i don't want to be the asshole who brings it on a plane."

i understand that - i understand that holidays are times where people look forward to meeting loved ones that they might only see once a year, or where they get a break from the hectic back and forth of their lives.

but here's the thing - whether they get tested or not, they will bring whatever they have to their holiday tables. it's pure recklessness to know that you're sick, and walk into someone else's house spreading the disease.

today, january 2, i saw 91 patients, many of them who have tested positive for covid and flu. many of these patients are the same ones who didn't want testing 3 days ago, until their events were over, and now, they will have to reach out to everyone they know to let them know that they were positive because they were showing symptoms well before their event.

the next week or two? we're going to see many, many more, all people with symptoms that started around christmas. these are the only two viruses we test for rapidly in our office, but they are potent and can be fatal in many people.

so here's why i wrote this post, and maybe it's a little late, but - if you care about your loved ones, please get tested if you know you're sick. it doesn't have to be at a clinic if you don't want it to, because the over-the-counter tests work just fine too (if you test within 5-7 days of symptom onset). just...please don't try to run from the knowledge that you might have covid, because immunocompromised people, elderly people, people with co-morbidities like asthma, pregnancy, diabetes, etc...many of them may not recover. and they may not be sitting at your holiday table in the future because of it.

#zee rambles #this isn't to guilt trip anyone #but im so so tired of people coming in and just refusing testing because they want to see grandma or whatever #and on top of that people are avoiding vaccinations and all that too?? #we all lived through the pandemic - everyone saw how many people unfortunately passed away from it #now because of vaccinations and some amount of herd immunity we're finding milder cases in healthy people #but that doesn't mean its gone #that doesn't mean it doesn't have long-term repercussions even in healthy people and that doesn't mean people aren't still dying from it #honestly i just needed a lil rant #and if this helps at least one person??? im all for it #also i can't sleep so here we are spilling thoughts into the voidddd

[chqrmspoken]

lately, my anxiety's been skyrocketing again and i cannot put a finger on it. is it because even though it's only the third week of the semester and i'm already six weeks behind (or so it feels)? is it because i failed fictober miserably and now haven't written for nanowrimo in two days? is it because of this one girl that i just cannot possibly shake off (in the worst way possible)... is it because of all of this or none of it? is it maybe just november?

#chqrmspoken words #anxiety #a lil rant #also my cursor (?) isn't showing up and it's making me wanna punch a wall but i cannot afford a broken hand rn

[njfoxwrites]

i think part of the anxiety i have as i near graduation is the fact that this world is not built for single women. two income households still struggle to bring in enough income.

this is why a lot of homes are mult-generational.

however, when you and your parents/grandparents don't hold the same values for life, it makes the idea of moving back home difficult.

which means making a lil found family and meticulously selecting friends who support you and treat you like a human being and finding a place that meets everyone's needs.

it's just so exhausting to think about and contemplate.

Wild how brother and sister is a blocked tag on tumblr, but sisters and brothers is ok?

It’s like how hetero is a blocked tag but heterosexual is ok.

This blocked tagging system makes no sense and I honestly wish it didn’t exist because it makes, making my perfectly sfw art, hard to actually be viewed by people on tumblr-

Anyway, uploaded another Koryea and Kyle pic to answer another ask. This one is a little dark, so if poverty or eating disorders is something that may be triggering for you to read, please don’t read it!
