The kind of genius friend I have..(cont.)
(previous post here)
Friend: Hey!
Me: *jump*
Friend: You know Fedor is actually a Russian name? It is a Greek-Russian orthodox name, for example, the famous writer FEDOR DOSTOIEVSKI.
Me: *remember* Oh yeah, Fedi's mother is a Russian aristocrat...
Friend: ... meaning Fedor von Bock at least comprehends Russian. What vulgarities of revenge, humiliation and torture the Red Army soldiers must've spewed in front of this captured Wehrmacht field marshal, not knowing that Fedor understands everything they say among themselves. A void opens up in his stomach. He tries not to tremble.
They're saying, hand Fedor von Bock to Lavrentiy Beria, head of NKVD! For once Stalin's slow executioner is going to have a field day breaking this Nazi's frail frame, when Rokossovsky intervened.
Imagine this-
Me- *scream* OMG OMEGAVERSE AGAIN?
Konstantin Rokossovsky- *to his subordinates* I heard our famed enemy does not fold under any pressure, so ditch your lunatic ideas of involving NKVD. Fedor von Bock the Holy Fire is going to lunge at our comrades whatever chance he gets, to hurt and kill, and expects to be killed. Guard him carefully, no knives, no weapons, no suicide tools. I am going to search his person myself. Off to your duties.
*soldiers exit*.
Fedor von Bock- *remains silent*
Rokossovsky- ... *touches* What kind of iron will allows this field marshal to conceal his delicate omega body for so long, especially on the battlefield?
Von Bock- Speak your own language. Your broken German is an affront to humanity and our Führer.
Rokossovsky- *Annoyed at this deliberate mention of Hitler, wraps his hand around Fedor's thin neck, enough to choke*. You'd be an even greater affront to your "Führer" if I put you in heat, and the infant in your body has the hot blood of a Communist coursing through their veins.
HOW CAN SHE DO THIS TO ME?? I HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR ENEMY SHIPS! (ie- Montgomery x Rommel)
Friend- But the Red Army guys are the biggest chads!
Me- Don't ask a fanfic from me, I can't write fics....
Friend- And I don't speak English.
Me- *TOTALLY DIE*

"But if college was free, then people would abuse that and get useless degrees" hell yeah I would! If I could go to college without debt I would make it my job to get a degree in every little thing that interested me. I'd get a doctorate in film studies. I'd have a bachelor's degree for every science I like. I'd try to learn at least 5 languages with varying results. I would learn something "useful" like coding and then follow it up with a ""useless"" degree like art history. I'd be the world record speed run holder for getting every degree possible.
But I can't afford college without going into massive debt, so instead I spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what I am passionate enough about to consider going into debt over, because unfortunately being passionate about everything is extremely expensive to pursue.

I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.
And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.
But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.
Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.
So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.
Respect our rest.
