i'm such a big fan of laios using being well fed as proof that he's serious. like there's so many techbros & etc who will use not eating breakfast as proof that they're productive & just in general, the idea of being "too busy to eat" is getting more common (which is exactly what toshiro is doing here!) but laios is like. no. i'm so serious about this i'm thinking about what comes next. i'm so serious about this i'm making sure my body can do everything it can when i need it.
the fact that everyone in the party took care of themselves & carefully planned out their route & when they'd take breaks is what made them so successful. they always made sure to understand their limits

actually. that post about how its important to have weird kinky queer friends. i think the same is true of really every type of ostracized person but in particular i wanna point it out wrt mentally ill people.
if you watch a movie villainizing DID or schizophrenia or something, and you think, "hey, this seems sort of like its based on what my friend has and theyre just a chill person, why are they making my friends condition seem threatening?" thats good.
if you see someone use narcissist as a synonym for abuser and you think, "what, no, im friends with someone who has NPD and i know theyre a kind person, this isnt true at all," thats good.
if you hear politicians try to frame addicts as violent criminals who should be locked up and you think "no, my buddy sam is just sick, their withdrawals are really painful and they dont have a good support system, they shouldnt be locked up for that," thats good.
being able to counter ableist rhetoric with "i know from experience thats not how these people are" is a good thing. like yeah obviously dont make friends with mentally ill people just for brownie points but also try to make the conscious effort to be open to friendship with people who have stigmatized mental health issues. and maybe even more importantly, be someone who makes it clear to others that youre safe to be open about these things with, because chances are youre ALREADY friends with mentally ill people even if you dont realize it, because a lot of us with more demonized conditions try to hide those conditions out of fear, and it helps a lot to know our friends are allies - and then we might feel safe discussing our experiences, IF we want to, and in turn that can help you better understand the realities and diversities of our situations and be less susceptible to ableist rhetoric.

I keep seeing ads for cotton candy flavored vape pods on tumblr and it made me wonder…
Why/Why not in the tags?
I’m interested because I feel like when I was in high school/college in the mid-10s, almost nobody smoked - even if you otherwise had some pretty hard vices. I think it was considered not really worth it for something with such a small buzz. But now, idk. Maybe the advertisers are right to target people here because it’s just that popular again??

Sometimes I get into this mood where everything I interact with I just love and adore so much it's overwhelming, like? ? it's a physical feeling like my heart skipping or getting crushed inside of my chest
And it is so so overwhelming and lovely and awful and unadulterated, like it's a sensation that just randomly occurs and then disappears without provocation and I genuinely do not understand it
Sometimes my obsessions hurt or fade or give me the same claustrophobic sickness of being stuck out shopping at the mall for too long, but sometimes they feel like...this....and it sometimes even temporarily takes over things I'm generally normal about too
And I'm left with this excess of just everything that's so much that I don't even know what I want or need, like in moments when I'm so emotionally overwhelmed or exhausted or overstimulated that the only thing I can fathom is warm and dark dreamless sleep
I don't know what to make of it
But also now I'm kind of coming off of it, and it's replaced by this looming guilt and dread and semi self loathing, like I kind of want to delete this before I even post it, it's already giving me major anxiety and guilt and all that shit I just said
So like what
Once again my only response is....sleep I guess?
