#and requires specific types of dye or some shit

[sp0o0kylights]

why the deep sigh before saying you’re a natural redhead lol

Several reasons!

For context this is in response to my answer in the "rb in the tags what would be the physical feature used to identify you in fanfiction of you if you were a fictional character" post a few days ago and the TL;DR is the redheads get stereotyped in specific ways I hate.

Large ass rant below (hey you asked lol)

For a lot of people, redheaded women are a fetish. ( When I was younger, I had people date me who later stated they just wanted to cross off dating a redhead, they didn't actually want a relationship, and my personal favorite, that they would never date someone who "wasn't skinny" but made an exception bc I'm a redhead. I've been offered a LOT of sex and a LOT of threesomes, because I'm a bucket list item and they will say so, to my face, in person. Like many things in life, there's a line between a preference or appreciation or even a "type" --and a fetish. The later being an issue because you're no longer seen as a person but an object, and people will make that creepily, disgustingly clear.

2. It's a stereotyped personality. Redhead's are crazy/hot tempered/insane (see: that one dude from Fruits Basket and I cant even pick a female character theres so fucking many) crazy in bed (one example among hundreds is We're the Millers "Eh she's a redhead there's a 50/50 chance she'd be into it") Soulless (I actually used that one to get through High School by insisting I was collecting souls to pay for my fire-lake front mansion, shouts out to South Park lmao), and many more. The redheaded step-child, the vixen, the other women, etc.

I have had my hair color come up in job interviews, with teachers, with coaches or trainers and even in situations as a kid where I was essentially asked "Hello kid I just met, you're a redhead, are you going to behave for me?" Related, my parents got a LOT of praise because I was quiet. Throughout my life the most common "praise" I have received is that I am "not a typical redhead" bc I am "calm."

You still see a lot of this bleed into fanfiction, but you used to REALLY see it bleed into fanfiction lol.

Addendum to both points above--the fetish, hot, good in bed thing typically only applies to conventionally attractive women.

Redheaded men are "ugly", and if you don't fit into the current but ever changing Socially Acceptable Hot Chick Look, then you're in for it. This includes weight, skin color/tone, freckles, type of hair, fuckin' eye color sometimes, the list goes on.

I vaguely recall someone who was doing a media study about how the male "problem child" in media is typically portrayed as a redhead. off the top of my head, the kid from Malcom in the Middle and the kid from the magic school bus.)

And that's just the cis shit.

3. People in general get weird about my hair. A lot of strangers enjoy touching it without asking, or otherwise felt ownership over it if I had parts of it dyed, etc. I legitimately had people get super upset the time I dyed it black. Hell I had STRANGERS get upset. People I never met in my life who were making small talk in the check out line, absolutely FURIOUS with me about dying it black, because they asked me what my natural hair color was and I answered honestly.

4. If you're over the age of, ehhhh, 25? 27? You probably remember the age of fanfic where we described EVERYONE by their hair color lmao. Redhead was right up there with bluenette. It was painful and that post reminded me of it.

#Id honestly dye my hair black again #except my hair grows out insanely fast #and requires specific types of dye or some shit #at home box dyes are #sadly #a waste and believe me I have tried #anyway #I have to go to a professional and while I believe in paying my people that shit is EXPENSIVE to do every single month #and my ass pretty much picked doing other things in terms of hobbies and apperance #Ghosts long ass rant about redheads #feel free to chime in if you are one #I could talk for hours about the gross shit people of all genders have said to me #but esp men #up to and including the guy who asked me what made me different from any other redhead #like homie we're not pokemon

Hiya ^__^! I was in the middle of writing a thirst/emo ask when I saw your "medias/entertainment the LIs would be interested in." post, and I have some HCs & thoughts about Robin, Kylar & Eden:

Robin- They like MMO games, but since they financially can't afford subscription games, they stick to free MMOs like Neverwinter, Guild Wars 2, Old School Runescape (even though you have to pay to access the game's best content, lol, but w/e), etc. They enjoy listening to light-hearted podcasts where participants are chatting about the mundane. On youtube, they mostly follow cooking channels to find simple, affordable recipes to try out & share w/ PC. When it comes to social media, they're more of a lucker than an active user. I also kinda see them having a hard time grasping internet culture/memes. Uses let's-play videos as background noise when they're studying.

Kylar- they like movies such as Eyes Without a Face, Don't Look Now, Rosemary's Baby, V/H/S anthology, From Beyond, etc. Watches true-crimes docs & series. When it comes to video games, they're very big on any game that requires a shit-ton of reading, so their fav genres are mostly VNs, dating sims & text-based games. Sometimes they like to mess around w/ dungeon crawlers & FPS games. They listen to popular gothic rock bands like The Cure, Joy Division, Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, etc. Def a veteran mod in some obscure anime forum. Their internet persona is diametrically opposite to their IRL personality. Has a blog where they journal their daily life & dump their writing & drawings. Literally pirates anything they could get their hand on. Occasionally surfs & posts in /lit/, /adv/, /x/, /ic/, and /r9k/.

Eden- If they ever used the internet, it's just to pirate books, read news & op-ed articles; they wouldn't care about anything else. Has a great collection of books that centres around political & economic theories. I don't think they have a specific favourite music artist, but when they were young, they might have listened to Alice in Chains, Rage Against the Machine, The Smashing Pumpkins, System of a Down, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, etc. Because of K*rk*t, now I'm legally obligated to assign any remotely grumpy character as a rom-com enjoyer whether it fits or not :v, so yeah, Eden's guilty pleasure is shitty rom-com movies, w/ The Notebook being one of their favorites. (But they're def not ashamed of reading & enjoying romance novels.)

I agree with a lot of this, anon.

Robin falls for Joe mama-style set ups everytime. Probably has played every Final Fantasy and has a few ideas for a TTRPG character they want to play as but never found a group to play with. Also, when it comes to YouTube Robin strikes me as someone who would have enjoyed Jenna Marbles (I miss her so bad).

Kylar seems like the type of person to have one of those Yandere blogs you see. Updates it with every look you give them, posts pictures of their shrine in their room (with you censored, they don't want anyone getting any ideas) and talks about how they can't wait for your future together. I also think Kylar is emo as hell and may have been a scene kid at one point - yes even listening to absolute trash like Simon Curtis. Which brings up a theory of mine - Kylar dyes their hair black. It's naturally something else. They could also enjoy films like The Boy, and openly roots for Brahms.

Eden strikes me as someone potentially leaning anarchist politically. Probably has Peter Kropotkin and such in their book stack. But also could lean into conspiracy theories a bit too much. It may just be because of the town, but Eden has a line where they say they'll never go to the hospital - if they're that injured then they'll die. And I don't blame them, knowing Harper, but it does make me think Eden could be an illuminati/lizard person believer. If Eden ever had electricity put in at the cabin I would bet they'd like How I Met Your Mother and other rom-com shows. Doesn't even flinch when you watch Bambi together and it reaches that scene, which is a little concerning.

[stylishanachronism]

So it is in fact Watcher Wednesday, I have a headache, the neighbors are still firing off fireworks and setting off all the car alarms on that side of the street, here’s a sliver of an essay about Pillars of Eternity and sheep.

So if you’ve been following along at all, you’ll know I have a dearly held headcanon that Edér, outside of seasonal agricultural work, supports himself by knitting elaborate ring lace shawls (no seriously what the fuck is he supposed to be doing all year Obsidian answer me who is making his socks), because canonically most of the Dyrwood’s production is tied up in fancy wool and fancy timber. More specifically, per the guidebook, “Wyr (“wire” - Aedyran) wool, gal glas (“green thorn” - Glanfathan) timber, Glanfathan deer hide, tin, lead, iron, copper.” (PGB1, pg 48), and it’s telling that the particular types of wool and timber are specified, as they aren’t for any other country(1). This is surprisingly well supported in game, between the set dressing in the Gift, the shipwreck scavengers beneath the bridge, and Dyrford’s main industry, namely tanning and dyework, as well as the lack of either crop industry on a wide scale, or food prepared for shipment in the Gift. (It does raise the question of ‘where are all the sheep’, but considering Obsidian knows nothing about textiles and the fact adding Yet Another model probably wasn’t the best use of their time, I’m cross about it but I’ll excuse it)

Fun fact: shipping roving is a waste of everybody’s time. Shipping thread on a scale that would enable somebody else to turn it into cloth is less so, but it’s significantly more expensive. Cloth takes up a lot less space than either option (especially roving), and is a lot harder to damage/a lot easier to protect during the process, especially since there’s a smidge more evidence(2) that wyr wool is a fine, light, long fiber wool, and therefore prone to matting in its base state.

This is not in the game at all, and barely barely barely in the guidebooks, but that set of facts means the Dyrwood is probably known for its weavers and knitters, and they probably import a lot more dye than even Aedyr, who are implicated to buy dyed in the wool textiles(3), which leads to the idea that the Dyrwood and Readceras have very strong economic reasons to get over their differences, (which is openly canon, but without explanation) and in the meantime Stalwart’s smuggling business? Almost entirely dye into the Dyrwood. The same economic pressure would explain why Aedyr was so eager to go back to trading with them, instead of being deeply pissy about dealing with a ‘failed’ colony, as they are with Readceras.(4)

On another tack, this takes everything about the Pearl Bluffs and makes it actually relevant to Defiance Bay as a city, because shelling out municipal funds on adventurers because one of your priestesses is having bad symbolic dreams is... a little sketchy, considering the state of the city, but if hiring those adventurers also gets rid of a major predator in the closest accessible good grazing land? Sheep are much more valuable than dreams, and that’s a reasonable expense. (It also explains why there’s absolutely nothing there, because local grazing land > mildly inaccessible but well placed military infastructure, because if I was worried about invasions by sea (which Defiance Bay canonically is), having some sort of lookout on the cliffs above the port would be a good idea, but not if it would hurt the city’s main industry.)(5)

Circling back around to the lack of crop industry, I know mechanically nobody wanted to animate Yet Another field of wheat (or what have you. There’s a lot of options there but they didn’t put it in so We Just Don’t Know(6)), and so it’s not that they don’t exist it’s that they aren’t pictured, just like the dozens and dozens of little towns that ought to be peppered across the place, which must exist but aren’t pictured (or named), but like... I desperately want to know what Obsidian thought everybody was doing all year, and where they were supposed to be living. (Let’s face it, I want a real map, with county lines and everything.) I am, obviously, proposing that in addition to the many many necessary industries (coopers! more blacksmiths! every single citizen from the age of being able to hold a pair of needles knits and spins so they don’t go naked! glaizers! lumberjacks! carpenters! butchers! I could go on!), that pretty much everybody is involved in some sort of fiber production, mostly wool but linen as well (preparing flax is No Joke), or otherwise dye preparation in some form or other, but like... what did Obsidian think. Where are the sheep?

Footnotes:

1: Per the guidebook: Readceras produces “Vorlas (purple dye), corn, corn flour, wool, cotton (minimal), lumber“ (pg 50), the Republics “Iron, copper, silver, glassworks, ships, spices, clocks, and astronomical equipment” (pg 52), Aedyr “Iron, fine steel, cotton, dyes, lumber (a major export of many varieties), spices” (pg 54), and Eir Glanfath “Gal glas (“green thorn” - Glanfathan) timber, Glanfathan deer hide, gold, adra shell (the odd shell material found in Engwithan ruins), rare fungi“ (pg 57) even though their exporting adra makes zero goddamned sense. No other countries/cultures have listed products, though Deadfire made a good effort at showing the exports of individual cities in the Deadfire. I’m not citing it because I’m too lazy to go copy all that shit down by hand, though.

2: The evidence on wyr wool is, very basically, it’s either a long fiber wool (wire like, able to be drawn very fine), or a short fiber wool (wiry, coarse). Long fiber wool is more desirable, and more likely to be specified out on a consumer level, versus a more ordinary short fiber wool, where knowing the provenance really wouldn’t change much. Long fiber is also a much lighter wool, the sheep more delicate (not by much, but still), and the Dyrwood’s climate as shown doesn’t particularly require a hardier sheep. Without actual sheep to look at, or somebody on staff with enough textile knowledge to incorporate said knowledge literally anywhere, there’s not a ton of evidence either way, but I have my biases, and finer wool suits them so that’s the argument I’m making.

3: “Aedyran clothing is known for being relatively simple in construction and often using large, colorful striped or checkered patterns for accents.” (pg 54) Trying to dye stripes is a misery. Trying to dye checks is worse. Weaving stripes or checks, on the other hand, is very, very easy, but requires you to dye the thread before it’s processed.

4: I would cite the guidebooks here, but since they never actually come out and say ‘there was five years of famine and it was not great’, I can’t, but uh, there was (at least) five years of famine and it was not great. A fraction of the population wandered off to make candles in sufficient quantities that they’re a minor Dyrwodian import (”Many a Dyrwoodan lord who illuminated their keep (and cursed all Readcerans) unknowingly did so by the light of Eothasian candles.” (PGB2, pg 81), in reference to The Bright Shephards, said fraction with the candles), and another went to the Deadfire, where they were delighted to finally be successful farmers (”To the delight of these wayward pilgrims, their crops took to Deadfire soil better than they had in Readceras,” (pg 80), in reference to the Children of the Dawnstars), even though they... don’t actually grow anything in common with Readceras, and meanwhile Aedyr continued to be dicks about the whole mess, even as Readceras proper finally got their feet under themselves, and managed to get the Vorlas properly established to the point where it’s their main export. (Look, Vorlas is fantasy indigo, and indigo takes a couple of years to like, not die at the first hint of literally anything going wrong. It’s more finicky than roses, especially since they’re not growing it in a region it’s built for, there’s a reason everything went to shit.)

5: It also explains some of the bounties, because ‘dangerous thing that only bothers *really* stupid travelers’ is a much smaller problem than ‘dangerous thing that bothers fairly defenseless essential livelihoods’. Also mechanically you’re paid for the Caed Nua bounties but like... Caed Nua is setting the bounty? so you aren’t being paid you’re just saving the house a lot of money to get somebody else to do it. You need to defend your sheep as well as your roads, I guess is what I’m saying?

6: Look, someday I will dig through every recipe I can get my hands on, in game or in the cookbook, and come up with a list of things the Dyrwood probably grows for food, but today is not that day, so right now your guess is as good as mine, as long as your guess is ‘not corn’.

#pillars of eternity #hey look it's time for another Terrible Essay #I'm going to be honest this is mostly not about sheep #some of the quotations were lightly edited for punctuation because whoever did the actual editing did a bad job at that part #there is more to this about why Aedyr's dye-focused colonies failed but like that gets into growing regions and shit #the map *still* confuses the shit out of me Obsidian show me your goddamned atlas #we are trying Yet Another method of footnotes let me know if it's working #one of the things I am most cross about in deadfire is that how economic relations shaped up between the dyrwood and readceras #is literally never once mentioned much less expanded on #like tell me about how that developed you spent so much time talking about it in pillars #let me tell you I have never been more vindicated than the fact I looked at the Dyrwood's fashion in Pillars and said NO THANKS #and then Deadfire turned around and went the same general direction I did when they retconned it #gal glas lumber is either some sort of citrus wood or Literally Green #I haven't decided which one I think is more likely/funnier #further agricultural thoughts include: are they raising chickens or doves or both #and where are the orchards and can I reasonably argue about citrus being a thing (the answer is probably no) #WAIT HOLD ON I JUST THOUGHT OF A THING #do you think people in the know refer to ethosians as beekeepers #like the bright shephards are all about bees because candles #so like do you think 'oh don't bother him he keeps bees' #or like 'go tell the bees those fuckers are coming' #is a way of keeping your neighbors safe from the dozens or particularly militant magranites or what have you #it's a good thing I never post fiction because I will call eder a beekeeper and I will confuse everyone including myself later #I'm sorry I have a headache I don't think I'm making much sense #also i think the neighbors are currently playing streetfighter on the giant projector screen right now and I Want to Die it is Very Loud

[loudgothbf]

Hibiki, I need tips on how to be a goth

“Find goth clothes you like. Listen to music you like. Tada, you’re goth.” He laughs.

“Of course, I think you’re looking for more detail than that, so let me give you a quick history lesson. Goth started way back in the 1600s, with the earliest subcultures popping up in London during the Victorian era. But when you’re thinking of modern goth, subcultures usually formed in the band scene, and usually around bands like The Cure and Bauhaus. You are not required to listen to The Cure. There’s very little of their music that I actually like. You can listen to any genre, really, and still be goth, but usually goths gravitate toward-- you guessed it!-- goth music. Goth rock, shock rock, hard rock, metal, black metal, screamo, punk, so on and so forth are really popular. There are a few alternative artists and songs that I listen to regularly, but the bulk of what I like falls into those categories. In general, if you want to find goths, you still go to the music, and that’s a good place to start.”

“There are also tons of ‘types’ of goths. I’d say just pick your favorite style and go for it. There’s trad goth, which has a lot of punk elements because it arose in the early band scene. Romantic goths have an aesthetic that sort of fits in a gothic romance novel, usually with a lot more red. Vampire goths follow the vampire aesthetic, Victorian goths are pretty self explanatory, casual or corporate goths too. There are even close offshoots like cybergoth, which would fit more in a rave than day-to-day life, and pastel goth. Offshoots may appeal to wider crowds. And, of course, near and dear to my heart because it started in Japan-- gothic lolita. I’d say do research and pick a style that’s close to the aesthetic you want and go from there.”

“In general for the look, I’d say invest in a few staple pieces for cheap, and then mix and match and accessorize. Different styles might cost you more or less. IF you go gothic lolita, brand dresses can run hundreds or thousands of dollars. But for a basic look in a casual goth style, a skirt, couple pair of shorts, and a couple pair of pants is a good place to start, and if you know where to shop it’ll only set you back, like, $30. Better if you can modify your own stuff, then you can get it for cheaper. I’d also say a few pair of tights or fishnets are good, especially if you can rip the tights. You can buy cheap t-shirts and rip or cut or burn them, add bleach stains, put safety pins or chains on them, yada yada. And then I’d say a few nicer pieces, like a corset or a leather jacket, which run more expensive, but you might be able to find something you like at a thrift store. Also, a staple for me is my mesh shirt. The big thing is accessories. It depends on your style of goth, of course, but for me the basics would be a hip chain, a choker, a necklace, a belt, and a couple bracelets and rings. If you’re smart, or you can mod or make your own, you can get a pretty good collection for, like, fifty to a hundred bucks. Plus earrings and piercings, which can be a good addition to the look. And of course the shoes. Everyone knows Demonias and Doc Martens-- the tall platforms, the creepers, the combat boots, whatever-- but you don’t have to go brand if you can’t afford it, and you can actually find a lot of good shit at thrift stores if you look around. Plus, there are tons of other styles that would be goth. You can wear black converse for all I care. I like having a few different go-tos, but I’ve been doing this a while. I didn’t fork over $600 in shoes at once. For a start, one pair of versatile shoes is fine. Make sure to take care of them, though-- clean them, shine them if they’re leather, blah blah.”

“Lastly, there’s sort of an iconic ‘goth look’. You know, pale skin, dark hair, dark eyeliner, black nail polish, that sort of thing. You don’t have to go pale if you’re goth. I don’t change my skin color at all, actually, I’m just like this. My hair is also just... like this. But dying it a dark color or a different color like red, green, blue, purple, or even something like silver or white, might help the look. Again, you don’t have to. Hair dye needs upkeep, and some people don’t want that, or don’t have the money. But if you want the bare essentials of the look, I’d say eyeliner, mascara, and black nail polish. At the right place for the right price, that’s $20. Lipstick is a bonus, but not a requirement.”

“Alright, now some misconceptions. As I mentioned, you don’t have to be pale or have dark hair or listen to The Cure to be goth. It’s stereotypical, but it won’t make you ‘not goth’ to not have those things. Especially in the international scene, a lot of dark-skinned goths feel like they have to lighten their skin, which is bullshit. Skin is skin, you’re not more or less goth for having it look a certain way. As for other things-- like I said, the music can be anything, and different types of goths may listen to more or less of a genre. Victorian goths might listen to more classical music, for example, and cybergoths listen to more techno. No, not all goths are delinquents, drug addicts, heavy drinkers, or criminals. No, we’re not all depressed, you’re thinking of emo. We don’t all have the same hobbies. No, we’re not all satanists. Plenty of us are atheist, but there are plenty of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Shintos, Buddhists, Wiccans, whatever you can think of that are goth. And being a dick is not part of goth culture. If you meet someone who’s a goth and a dick, that’s a them problem, not a culture problem.”

“Yikes, alright, I kind of talked your ear off, didn’t I? I’d recommend doing your own research and finding what resonates with you, and if you need specific suggestions, I’m your guy, but hopefully that’s a good start.”

Pressure Release Valve

I’m starting this blog as a way to release some of the pressure I’m experiencing.  A journal to help me process what’s going on and deal with it.  I process verbally a lot, which is good, but I can’t afford a therapist right now so I’ve been leaning heavily on friends - and they’re amazing for listening to me, but, I just keep going over the same shit again and again and they have to be getting tired of me.  I can’t vent on Facebook anymore - because that’s just so fraught.  Anonymous venting onto Tumblr seems like it’s worth trying.   So, here we go - first real post.  This is some background about one of the topics that’s got me deeply wound.  

My father is an elderly man.  He is 71 years old with Type 2 Diabetes, Severely Reduced Kidney Function, and Moderate to Severe Sleep Apnea. 

A Quick Medical Overview about 15 years ago my dad was in a long term relationship with a woman and was living in her home.  During that period he was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and, because he snores to wake the fucking devil, she made him do a sleep study and he was diagnosed with Moderate to Severe Sleep Apnea and given a CPAP machine.   About 4 years ago my father’s kidney’s failed.  He had a UTI and went in for a contrast dye test for some other issue, and, the combination of those things plus my dad’s unchecked Type 2 Diabeties (and very high blood sugar levels) made his kidney’s throw up their hands and go “Fuck it, we’re done!” 

He spent THREE FULL WEEKS in the hospital.  At first trying different treatments to see if they could “reboot” my dad’s Kidneys, then, after a day or two doing Dyalisis and getting his bloodwork stabalized.  Three full weeks.  And he nearly died.  

He was released to Hospice/Rehab care where they assessed his abilities and capabilities.  They recomended a walker.  Set up on-going out-patient Dyalisis treatments.  Literally helped him get back on his feet.  The Rehab center was wonderful and recomended that he move to a facility with nursing staff.  Not that he go into a “Home” or Hospice care, just... a place with medical staff on hand.  Someone to help him manage his diet and medications.  He refused.  Because he’s a grown man, see. 

THREE days later he called me at 2 am hysterical.  Utterly freaking out.  At the time I had a 5 month old baby and I was awake when he called because I was nursing my son.  But also I lived an hour and a half away from him and could not understand what he was saying or what was going on.  I was sleep deprived.  I hung up on him.  My sister ended up calling an ambulance to check on him, which was good, because his blood sugar had crashed out so low he was having a delustional episode.  

He went back to the hospital.  He got stabalized again and relased to go home within 48 hours, but, with the caveat that he take a Diabetes 2 education class.  I agreed to go with him to the classes - which were at a location close to his house.  So I drove an hour and a half to pick him up, sat through an hour of class, drove him home, made him fucking dinner and then drove an hour and a half back home with breasts that were, at that point, painfully full of milk - because there was no possible time to pump in that whole mess of activity. 

The course was 5 classes long, after the 4th class we got into an argument about how he couldn’t just eat McDonalds all the time anymore.  Because the class had focused on how fast food was an especially bad choice to make for Diabetics who have other health issues.  The teacher had specifically pulled up the nutritional information for a BASIC McDonalds Hamburger and talked about all the reasons why it was bad for blood sugar, even though - yes, there was a high protein count, there were all these added sugars.  Our argument began by me basically saying “Now that someone else has said it, will you please stop doing this?”  The argument ended when he OPENED THE PASSENGER DOOR OF THE CAR WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION AND THREATENED TO THROW HIMSELF OUT.

I had to pull the car over, get out, shove him back into the car (as he wasn’t able to right himself) while he hit me in the shoulders and threw a tantrum like a toddler about how all the women in his life have ever done is screw him over. I didn’t go to the 5th class.  I’m not sure if he did.  And I didn’t talk to him or deal with him for months. 

During those months my sisters (both younger) discovered that he was so deeply in debt that he was going have all his utilities shut off and to be evicted from his apartment if he was late on another payment.  So, they took over his finances.  Like, litterally took them over.  My youngest sister (who we’ll call Teri) is his Trustee for his social security payments, and, all his money goes into an account that she has access too but that he does not.  My middle sister (Who we’ll call Beth) now manages the day to day bill paying and distribution of the account, including putting money weekly onto a pre-paid debit card that my dad has access too for shopping and miscelaneous expenses. 

About six or nine months passed and things had evened out a little.  My father was coming out to see my son on a fairly regular basis.  I was ignoring him to the best of my ability.  Working. Raising my son.  Ignoring.   And then I got a call, while I was at work, from my father.  He needed to go to the ER, he said.  To schedule a surgery apointment.  Huh?  He had a wound on his big toe that wouldn’t heal.  This happens with Type 2 Diabetics, so it wasn’t a surprise. I was already aware of the wound and that he was seeing doctors about it.  He had assured me that he was taking care of the wound and he was having apointments reguarly to have it dressed and assessed, so, I hadn’t done any digging into it.  Apparently his doctor had recomended surgery and told him that he should go to the ER in the morning and get scheduled for a surgery apointment... which doesn’t make any sense at all.  That’s ... not how that works? 

So, I took a break at work and called Kaiser.  I spoke to someone who read me the visitation notes from the doctor.  Basically, the doctor had come to the conclusion that the tissue was damaged enough that it needed to be abraded and recomended that my father be transported to the hospital and admitted and scheduled for surgery that night.  My dad, who was STILL paying off the ambulance bills from his last two hospital stays refused to go.  He said he’d drive himself in the morning.  His doctor recomended against that and suggested that, if he didn’t want to be transported via ambulance he could get a family member to pick him up.  He refused.  The doctor made a note in the after visit information that this course of action could result in serious issues up to and including DEATH and that my father was refusing/leaving the office against medical advice. 

So.... I got a friend who drives Uber to pick my dad up at his apartment and take him to the closest ER.  I met them there.  There is a whole story associated with this pick up and my friend had to get his car detailed afterwards.  Whee. 

When I got to the ER they had my dad laid out in a hospital gown and had done some initial blood testing and my dad was waiting in a curtianed area.  His blood sugar was all out of whack.  He had an infection in his toe that threatened to spread to his blood - and if you don’t know, blood poisoning is fucking deadly.  They were running fluids and antibiotics via IV.   The toe was necrotic.  Unsaveable.  They needed to remove it ASAP.  It was a good thing I had gotten him in tonight, the doctor told me.  If he had waited until morning he might have fallen asleep and never woken up.  

They ended up removing his big toe from the first knuckle to the tip, and wrapping it up.  He went back to Hospice/Rehab and spent another 3 weeks learning how to use a cane to help him walk.  He was instructed to use the cane all the time, but especially while he was recovering from surgery.  He never used it, still doesn’t.  

Another six months pass.  It’s December now his toe has never healed from surgery.  Refusing to use the cane has put too much pressure on the toe and it won’t heal.  Being diabetic makes it important that he keep it clean and dry, but, he continues to stand up to pee ... and misses the toilet regularly.  So... he’s peeing on his open wound and not changing the bandage or cleaning the wound.  

And, so, there’s a need for a second surgery.  This time they take the whole toe.  And it’s back to rehab.  Again.  Where he ends up pushing for release early - and ends up getting authorized to go home on Christmas Eve.  This time he promises he’ll use his cane.  He does not.  

It’s been two years now without any catastropic injuries or events.  He’s mostly stabalized but his kidney function is in the 24% range (which is a failing grade on any test I can think of) but means that he doesn’t require regular Dyalisis.  His Diabetes is under control only with the help of medication, and his A1C is generally in the 6-7 range, which is boarderline and if it gets any worse will not be able to control it with the meds he’s on.  He’ll have to do insulin injections - this is an ineveitablity.  But he doesn’t test his blood sugar.  

He continues to ignore the dietary recomendations for both his Diabetic and Renal conditions.  He refuses to use his cane.   My father comes out to my house on Tuesdays to spend time with my son.  Mostly he naps in the chair in the living room and we feed him dinner, so at least he’s getting one good meal a week.  But, recenly, over the last three months he’s been falling more.  He shows up to my place with new visible scrapes and bruises every week.  He always wears slacks and a button up shirt, sometimes with a sweater.  So, the visible bruising is on his wrists, hands, and face.  In addition to that he *falls down* in front of me once every two weeks or so.  These falls are not little falls.  He trips, looses his balance and just CRUMPLES into a heap on the floor.  Usually face first.  Often he doesn’t even have time to put his hands out to slow his fall.  

Recently, I suggested we move his recliner so that it was out of the walk-way into his living room.  I have noticed that he often bumps into it or starts to stumble when walking through the narrow walk-way to get into his living room, because it’s in the way.  I suggested we move it to the other side of the coffee table, about 2 feet to the right.  And then, before he could protest, I said that if that meant he was too close to the TV, that we could then swap where his desk and TV sit, which would clear his desk chair out from in front of the entrance to the kitchen - removing another hazard.  

Keep in mind:  I DO THIS FOR A LIVING.  I am a personal organizer and I help reorganize and reorder people’s spaces for better work-life flow.  I am not simply making random suggestions.  I’ve thought about this for a while, and, it was a soft suggestion, not an order or an edict. 

But he flipped the fuck out on me.  He dug deep into the past to pull out some horrible bullshit he *did do me* as a kid and tried to weaponize it like it was shit I did to him.  It was dramatastic and awful, and, in hindsight probably an indication that his blood sugar is way off.  Because he was super irrational and kept saying he was shaking. 

I just get to sucked into his fucking tantrums and bullshit, because of a life-long dynamic of screaming fights and hysteria on his part.  I try.  I really do.  But I never recognize the possible low/high bloodsugar behavior until after the fact.

[shittynarutoaus]

I’m BACK and I just got a new Drawing Tablet and this is the first thing I made. They’re the reincarnated team 7 from my reincarnation-timetravel AU.

There has been some changes to their stories, more underneath.

So every one was reincarnated into a body that already existed in the first loop but either died or there were specific requirements to be born (Naru)

Sakura, renamed Sakumo buy Kasumi (Kakashi) is the oldest of the three.

Nicknames: Saku or spider-chan/kun. 

They were given to Kasumi as a baby by the spider summons. They are a descendant of spider demons and has spider characteristics that are often hidden. They have six extra eyes, three under each main eye, they usually pass them off as clan markings. They also have a set of spider legs on their back along with a fully functional spider abdomen at the small of their back. 

When they get older they have the ability to fully shift into their demon form.

They’ve gotten the hobby of knitting, and producing spider silk cloth. When their demonic characteristics are showing they usually just have their spider legs constantly producing silk cloth but when bored will knit with hands. They are super fast at knitting because of that.

In the original timeline Sakumo was raised by the spiders and they stayed with them until they died.

Sasuke, renamed Sasuno (Shitty name I know but I got tired of looking for a new one, so now it’s a running gag.) is the middle child.

He is a half Uchiha, His father had a one night stand with his mother and he left not soon after so he never knew he had a son. His father was descended from bird demons but his mother was a full fledged Phoenix.

 When people found out she was pregnant with an Uchiha they hunted her down so she ran. Eventually she came to a forest but went into labor, Kasumi who was returning to her nomadic village came across her. Kasumi helped her give birth, in gratitude Sasuno’s mom let her name him, 

Kasumi was a dumbass and blurted out the first thing that came to mind. Sasuno’s still bitter about that. 

Sasuno’s mom stayed with Kasumi until the attack on their little moving village. They were separated but will eventually reunite.

Sasuno has a pair of wings that have this embers type of feel, sometimes they release a bit of smoke. He can turn his hands into talons. When older he can take the form of a hawk that has ember like feathers and a long smoking tail.

He gets tired of sakumo’s Numerous bolts of fabric so he decides to learn to cut and sow clothes. He now makes all their clothing and even though he dresses like a hobo half the time he is really good with fashion. Kasumi, who’s really good at haggling sometimes sells the extra clothing.

Loves Narumi.

In the original timeline Sasuno and his mom died during labor, Sasuno’s mom was reborn, as phoenixes do, but Sasuno did not.

Naruto, now named Narumi is the youngest of all three and Kurama’s younger sibling

Born a girl but often changes genders, goes by Naru when he’s a boy. Narumi and Kurama are both the Kyubbi’s grandchildren from their father’s side. (Kurama absolutely hates this)

Their father married and had Kurama with the Uzukage. When Uzu was attacked Kurama was out with his father but they made it back just in time to escort survivors out through hidden passages. The Uzukage sealed the passages and fell protecting the entrance. 

The survivors looked to Kurama’s dad for guidance, he decided to settle them near the Fox Summons lands. He then wandered the world in his grief leaving a small Kurama to lead the last of the survivors. (Kurama grows a little bitter at his dad for leaving him alone with a whole mini village to lead. He’s like eight for god’s sake!)

Eventually Kurama’s dad returns and finds love in Narumi’s mom (A blond woman, who sometimes for shits and giggles is related to minato, my favourite but currently non-canon to this AU is that Naru’s mom is a part of the Namikaze triplets which is composed of three ladies going by the names, Minami, Minako, and Minato who the Original minato was named after)

Eventually Naru’s dad takes the mantle of the Fox’s boss summon due to them being directly related to the Kyuubi. Making Kurama their angry/bitter ‘prince/heir’ and Narumi is the sweet princess. As soon as possible Kurama shoves the title of ‘Heir’ to his sibling.

Kurama decides to take Naru out into the world with their parents consent and they eventually meet Kasumi.

Narumi gets tired of wearing all white because neither Saku or Sasuno know how to dye clothes so she decides to learn how to dye cloth and to make patterns. 

Naru has fox ears and tail(s) he also has naturally clawed hands that are filed down but with a little but of his demonic chakra they can grow almost instantly. When older Narumi can shift into a giant fluffy fox.

Loves Sasuno and plans to get married to him as soon as possible.

In the original timeline Narumi was never born because the Original Kurama and his dad never left the village before the attack, dying during the attack along with Narumi’s mom.

Customize Your Gift Ideas With Sublimation Printing

Everyone loves sublimation printing. If you disagree, you probably don’t know what custom sublimation printing is. One classic example of cool sublimation designs everyone has at home is that special mug with a funny print that we all have and are very attached to. Sublimation is the name of the technic used to print awesome custom designs into mugs, t-shirts, bottles, etc.

You can make any design you like into a cool item of your creation. Sublimation products are especially useful to customize gift ideas. With this tool, you can put your thoughts and feelings into words and images and print them onto a unique gift for your loved ones or use it to print your business logo on certain critical items of your choice.

In this article, you’ll find out what sublimation printing is and how you can use it to create amazing customized items easily. We’ll also show you examples, like the famous sublimation t-shit designs you see everywhere and sublimation mug designs that are an absolute success.

WHAT IS SUBLIMATION PRINTING?

Sublimation printing is a computer printing technique. The sublimation printing machine is engineered to transfer dye using heat onto different materials that are appropriate materials made especially for sublimation. Usually, these materials have specific qualities that allow the dye to be inserted into it so that the dye doesn’t melt or vanish even if the product is applied is heated or washed.

Sublimation is so effective because the products created with this process are highly resistant and long-lasting in terms of print. The image created is of the best quality, the colors are bright, and the definition is as clear as the original graphic.

There are many uses for sublimation printing. The sublimation process is undoubtedly an intelligent choice whether you want printed items in your homes or offices.

Here are some advantages of sublimation printing:

• You can use custom sublimation printing on rigid substrates like glass, fiberglass, and aluminum (polymer treated).

• You can use sublimation designs to customize large amounts of blank rigid products, like mouse pads, cell phone cases, water bottles, and more.

• If you have a shop or any commercial business, you can use sublimation to print the signage for your business. In fact, sublimation printing is used for an extensive range of signage types used nowadays.

• You can use sublimation printing to create a t-shirt graphic design business. After creating awesome designs, you can transfer them onto some special fabrics made of polyester. sublimation t-shirt design is the best way for t-shirts.

• You can use sublimation printing for home décor. Creative interior designers and home décor makers everywhere use sublimation printing to create masterpieces to adorn their clients’ homes.

• Sublimation printing is the best way to print high-definition photographs with the highest quality on canvas, acrylic, magnets, etc.

SUBLIMATION T-SHIRT DESIGN:

One of the most famous sublimation printing uses is employed in the t-shirt graphic design industry. The fact that one can print any design on a t-shirt has shaped fashion into what we know nowadays. Sublimation designs are also applied to stamp logos and business identity information into clothes and accessories in the professional garment industry.

For the t-shirt graphic designs, polyester fabrics are required. For the dye to appropriately attach to the surface of the t-shirt, you’ll definitely need to get special materials that are made specifically for sublimation. Usually, these fabrics are divided into two categories, the ‘knit,’ which are the lighter ones used for flags and banners, and the ‘woven,’ which are more heavy and durable.

One of the most significant advantages of sublimation t-shirt design printing is that the quality of the final product is always guaranteed to be the best. It won’t fade away if stretched or washed, even if you use hot water. When you opt for this type of printing, you’re sure to get the exact image from the original design without blur or crackle.

If you’re looking for rich and good-quality t-shirt designs, you should definitely go for sublimation printing.

SUBLIMATION MUG DESIGN:

Mug designs have become very popular ever since sublimation printing technology has emerged. Besides being a useful kitchenware item in every household, sublimation mug designs became a means to express love, appreciation, and humor among families and friends.

The mugs used for sublimation printing are usually made of regular ceramic but have a special coat. This special coating has a surface that sort of opens tiny pores when heated, allowing the sublimation dye to be inserted to create a durable print that is water and heat resistant. They can be put into dishwashers and microwaves with no risk of peeling off and last for many years.

With one single design, you can create as many long-lasting printed mugs as possible. Sublimation mug design is used not only to customize gift ideas that you can give to your friends and family but also to customize your business with special detail and impress your customers and employees. The quality of the print in sublimation mug designs is so high that it can only be removed by sanding it back to ceramic. Since the transfer is made on a molecular level, it’s permanent.

SUBLIMATION IN YOUR BUSINESS

Sublimation printing is a valuable tool for businesses looking to modernize or give more detail to their visual branding. It’s an easy as well as a cost-effective way to establish the image of your company.

Some of the common uses of sublimation products in businesses are advertising material, signage, creating graphics on garments, road signs, and company exhibits like banners and flags. All you need is to have the logos or symbols you would like to print designed with a particular software such as Photoshop, choose the materials you want to have your visual information printed, and let the sublimation machine do the rest for you.

No matter the type of business you’re running, together with your marketing team, you can definitely use sublimation printing to touch up the image of your company.

29.  One thing you wish you could change about your life: Less acne!

30.  What are you listening to right now: My fish tank’s usual bubbly noises and my overhead AC

31.  Have you ever talked to a person named Tom: Heck yeah I have! His name’s Tom McCall! But not the governor. Just an eggplant I raised….(along with Bob Straub, because Oregon history ftw).

32.  Something that is getting on your nerves: me myself and I

33.  Most visited website: Probably this one. Youtube would be #2. Or Google, if you could count that. I have a lot of questions. Speaking of that, Wikipedia would be like #3.

34.  Moles: Like 5, but I’m going to grow a lot more as I get older. It’s in my genes.

35.  Marks: I have one scar on my foot (at least, I think it’s going to be a scar) from a mysterious injury involving my chair and a lot of blood. I also have a small scar near my collarbone the size of an icepick, which I’ve had since I was born (I think).

 36.  Childhood dream: Staying alive. In other words, not killing myself! And guess what? I achieved it!

37.  Hair color: Brunette; chocolate brown with caramel colored highlights if you want to get more specific. It’s my natural hair color (including the highlights).

38.  Long or short hair: Everyone loves my hair short, but I fucking hate it. I prefer long hair.

39.  Do you have a crush on someone: Er, does my girlfriend count?

40.  What do you like about yourself: *nervous laughter*….nothing? I guess my eyes are pretty nice.

41.  Piercings: None.

42.  Blood type: Both of my parents are Os, so even though I’ve never been tested (hella scared about that), I’m probably an O.

43.  Nickname: Aside from Panic/Loli, none. Those are just my online tags.

44.  Relationship status: Happily dating a cute girl. It’s unfortunately a long distance relationship for the summer, though…I miss her cuddles.

45.  Zodiac: Aquarius/Capricorn cusp, but I’m much more of an Aquarius (so I just typically go by that)

46.  Pronouns: y’all/yaint. Just kidding, she/her. I’d set the whole ‘y’all/yaint’ thing as my blog title, but I feel like someone would think I was making fun of pronouns so I won’t.

47.  Favorite TV Show: I rarely watch TV honestly, but probably Billy the Exterminator. Reminds me a bit of @spastikchildren, actually. He’s a rocker-type dude who goes around rescuing animals.

48.  Tattoos: None.

49.  Right or left hand: Assuming you mean my dominant hand, right.

50.  Surgery: None yet. I’m terrified of having to get my wisdom teeth out. I’ve never been knocked out before….

51.  Hair dyed in a different color: Not right now, but when I start going gray I’ll just become ‘anime grandma’ and dye my hair crazy colors.

52.  Sport: MARCHING BAND, which is a sport. If you think it is not, I suggest you come watch me perform after putting hundreds of hours into it (all while my arms are practically falling off).

53.  Vacation: I’d rather not. Traveling is stressful for me.

54.  Pair of trainers: I have this really sick ass pair of electric colored New Balance shoes that I’m currently breaking in.

MORE GENERAL:

55.  Eating: Seahorses. Just kidding, they’re actually giant pieces of barbequed chicken that look like giant seahorses, so that’s why I call them that.

56.  Drinking: Water, because these seahorses are (pleasantly) spicy.

57.  I’m about to: I dunno. Maybe I’ll play some Don’t Starve. I just watched someone play it and picked up some new techniques that might make it easier for me to play.

58.  Waiting for: Nothing in particular, really. I guess for me to finish eating and finish this thingy.

59.  Want: To feel like I’m useful and wanted, to have a good career in freelance writing, to take a warm shower because I’m cold, and to ask my girlfriend to spoil me….because I want more hugs.

 RELATIONSHIPS (not a category, but I added it so)

60.  Get married: Sure, I’d like to get married. But I don’t wanna have kids (maybe I’ll adopt some older ones so I don’t have to deal with screaming shit demons).

61.  Career: I’m really hoping I can begin freelance writing, because I really don’t fucking want to go to college (and no, it doesn’t require a degree, I’ve done research on it).  I’m trying to start now.

62.  Hugs or kisses: Hugs. I have no fucking clue how to kiss people.

63.  Lips or eyes: Eyes ftw, though my lips are a delightful cherry pink without any lipstick so I do like that about me.

64.  Shorter or taller: I often like taller people, but I really am sort of indifferent.

65.  Older or younger: I like to date people the same age (or close) as me. Otherwise, I don’t really care.

66.  Nice arms or nice stomach: Uh, I don’t care either way.

67.  Sensitive or loud: I’m sensitive all right. But I’m okay with loud noises; I sit behind percussionists after all.

68.  Hook up or relationship: Relationship. I need attention and cuddles.

69.  Troublemaker or hesitant: HESITANT.

HAVE YOU EVER:

70.  Kissed a stranger: uh no

71.  Drank hard liquor: No, I don’t drink.

72.  Lost glasses/contacts: No. I very rarely wear my glasses anyway, so it’s a moot point.

73.  Turned someone down: No, I’m not cute enough for people to have a crush on me. Except for online creepers (which I always turn down).

74.  Sex on the first date: No thanks.

75.  Broken someone’s heart: No, I get my heart broken most all of the time. I hardly do the breaking.

76.  Had your heart broken: YES. And not just in relationships.

77.  Been arrested: No, but I think the police have a record for me (I wasn’t guilty of anything, though).

78.  Cried when someone died: Yeah, I am a short fuse when it comes to crying.

79.  Fallen for a friend: Yes.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN:

80.  Yourself: Fuck no. I don’t even know if I’m real. I honestly hope I’m not….

81.  Miracles: I guess. It’s a miracle I’m still alive, I think.

82.  Love at first sight: Yes, but that’s not real love.

83.  Santa Claus: Yes, he’s my homie.

84.  Kiss on the first date: Depends.

85.  Angels: I think it’s possible they exist, but I’m not sure.

OTHER:

86.  Current best friend’s names: Probably Cairo and Ana.

87.  Eye color: Bluish green with a splash of hazel, but for all intents and purposes, just green.

Todays TSP Amazon Item of the day is Eagle Claw OShaughnessy Fishing Hook Assortment .

They are thick for their size as well, so they are very strong. Additionally they a large eye in them, making them suited to heavier line, split rings or snap swivels. And that brings me to how I use them most often. While I do like them for fishing with live bait in salt water my main use is for catfish in fresh water. Specifically I use them for limb lines, jug lines and trot lines. I use these hooks for these purposes for some of the reasons above, tough, they work and the large eye lets me easily put a split ring and snap swivel on them. I always use a swivel with limb, jug and trot lines, catfish roll when hooked and jack up everything if you dont.
