#haircuts are therapy to me <3

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

Oml I love haircuts too 😭. although Ive never been able to cut it down to a buzz or anything like that, but I do love having it short as fuck!! Hair holds memories and I guess that's quite something considering that it gives a free feeling once you cut it, for a new commence I guess?? ((I yap too much lmao)) Idk, but it feels quite liberating being able to cut it short n shii as if nothing can hold u back now. Again, idk :))

i don't know either! it doesn't really give me any feelings other than "oooo air on my skull & i feel so Clean"

#this might be due to the fact that i've Always had it short #my hair has never grown past my shoulders #and the two (2) times it got to that length i chopped it off after like. a month lmao #Could Not Stand It! #but that was in elementary/middle respectively. i havent had it long since! #gonna try to maintain the top so that i can achieve my Favorite Style once again... #rambles from the bog #haircuts are therapy to me <3

[piepiepiemag]

going back in time to stop myself from becoming a midas simp i guess??

i was thinking about how it was even possible for me to slip into a full on brainrot in a matter of weeks and then i realized. this isn't new. not at all. this shit was 16 years in the making.

#thank you aladdin 3 king of thieves on the vhs and dvd for making me into the woman i am today #sometimes the brainrot is so bad you need to make a whole backstory explanation for it and voiceact it too #i was like 'this is not funny at all just dont make it' but then i realized how to fortniteify my fnaf lore shirt and i had to LMAO #hoping praying my bf doesnt get it #my art #my persona #midas #midas fortnite #fortnite midas #for sure yes #on the last frame #the only thing that comforts me is that ive always been this weird. i only had that cleopatra haircut cuz i was obsessed with ancient egypt #and i thought it would be so cool #magpie lore #this is the reason why i wont upload to insta anymore. my irls who i was at therapy with cant see this shit #or im gonna get readmitted #edit: fuck me i drew the hand backwards kill me

The Best News of Last Week

⚡ - Goodbye Fossil Fuels, Hello Renewables: The Energizing News You Need

1. Fungi discovered that can eat plastic in just 140 days

Australian scientists have successfully used backyard mould to break down one of the world's most stubborn plastics — a discovery they hope could ease the burden of the global recycling crisis within years. 

It took 90 days for the fungi to degrade 27 per cent of the plastic tested, and about 140 days to completely break it down, after the samples were exposed to ultraviolet rays or heat. We really see a solution within five years, according to environmental scientist Paul Harvey, an expert on global plastic pollution.

2. Topeka Zoo welcomes new African Lion as female sprouts mane

The Topeka Zoo has welcomed a new African Lion to its pride, a male, as one of its females started to sprout a mane following the 2021 passing of the pride’s last male.

The Topeka Zoo and Conservation Center announced on Thursday, April 13, that Tatu, a 4-year-old African Lion, has arrived in the Capital City. He comes to Topeka from the Denver Zoo and his arrival marks a time of growth for the zoo.

3. This barber opens his shop on his day off for children with special needs – and all of their haircuts are free

On his day off, Vernon Jackson still goes to work, opening up his Cincinnati barber shop, Noble Barber and Beauty, for VIP clients: children with special needs. 

It's something he's done since 2021. "I was hearing so many horror stories that parents were going through with other barber shops and just the barbers or stylists having no patience with their child," Jackson told CBS News. "So I figured I would compromise by coming in on my day off so there were there would be no other barbers or stylists in the shop and I could give them the full attention that they need."

4. Renewables break energy records signalling ‘end of the fossil age’

Experts are calling time on the fossil age as new analysis shows wind and solar power produced a record amount of the world’s electricity last year.

The renewables generated 12 per cent of global electricity in 2022, up from 10 per cent the previous year, according to the report from clean energy think tank Ember. Last year, solar was the fastest-growing source of electricity for the 18th year in a row, rising by 24 per cent from 2021.

5. New nuclear medicine therapy cures human non-hodgkin lymphoma in preclinical model

A new nuclear medicine therapy can cure human non-Hodgkin lymphoma in an animal model A single dose of the radioimmunotherapy, was found to quickly eliminate tumour cells and extend the life of mice injected with cancerous cells for more than 221 days (the trial endpoint), compared to fewer than 60 days for other treatments and just 19 days in untreated control mice.

To explain it in simple terms because this is so freaking cool: There is a radioactive atom attached to a drug. The target cell eats the drug and the energy coming off of the radioactive atom kills the target cell

6. Colorado passes first US right to repair legislation for farmers

Colorado farmers will be able to legally fix their own equipment next year, with manufacturers including Deere & Co obliged to provide them with manuals for diagnostic software and other aids, under a measure passed by legislators in the first U.S. state to approve such a law.

Equipment makers have generally required customers to use their authorized dealers for repairs to machines such as combines and tractors.

So like, how does being trans work anyhow? I’ve tried to research stuff myself (by googling like fifty different things) but I still have like no idea what happens??? Like I’ve heard about HRT but I have no clue how someone would go about that?

Asking cuz I read your comics a bunch and your parents remind me of my parents

Your question seems confused so I'm gonna section off what I'm seeing.

1) being trans is identifying with a gender one was not assigned at birth. If you're AMAB (assigned male at birth) for instance, identifying as a woman or non-binary, etc would make you transgender.

2) transitioning is the process by which someone changes physical and/or social characteristics about themselves to better align with their gender identity. The ways to go about this range a lot- HRT (hormone replacement therapy), laser hair removal, clothing choices, haircuts, new names, and any number of treatments related are included.

3) The way you go about acquiring HRT is going to depend on your age, location, access to insurance, and access to healthcare. In medical establishments, there's 2 main ways its acquired

1. Informed consent - the doctor explains the risks and expectations and you consent to receiving the medication(s).

2. Diagnosis care - a therapist finds you experience gender dysphoria and believes you to be transgender and writes you a letter in order for your doctor to prescribe HRT.

You'll need to research your country and/or local area for what's legal and available.

There's a 3rd option, which is DIY, but it's usually considered a last option due to the involvement one needs to have in order to do it safely.

That's not even going into social transition, which may consist of changing your name, establishing pronouns that align with your identity, sharing your gender identity, etc

Anyways, i hope this answers all your questions and helps you out!

nothing new to add to the watcher fiasco so here's this. not to make it personal but I'm gonna make it personal.

what they get payed per brand deal could pay for a year of uni for me. what they make with patreon per year would change my entire family's life. my 50-60 year old parents could finally drop one of the multiple jobs they have, my sister could spend time with her kids and finally afford a proper wedding, I could go back to much needed therapy. we could travel more and go to concerts and nice restaurants, we could get tattoos and professional haircuts, we could spend money on spoiling our pets, we could buy books and clothes and go to the cinema without having to carefully budget, things the watcher folk do regularly without giving it a second thought. I could buy my best friend with unstable housing an apartment for their family for fucks sake. I'm out here skipping meals on school days because I can't afford to spend £5-10 a day to eat at uni, 'borrowing' necessities from big stores, and missing out on social events or birthdays that involve going out. I've only donated £20 in total in the last couple months to help people in Gaza and it devastates me that I can't donate more. I'm still privileged in many ways, the world is in shambles and regular people are being hit with an economic crisis, where housing and food is hard to secure.

I've been a huge fan of Shane and Ryan since I was thirteen, they were my comfort creators. I even checked their shows and merch to see if I could afford it (no) because I wanted to support them. their content has gone down hill for the past year and I still sat through the forced cringey parts because I used to love their videos. I respected them, they brought me joy and inspired me to create. "we priced it low enough that anyone can afford it". fuck off. day 3 and not even an acknowledgement. this has felt like the biggest "fuck you, poor" ever to me and I'm crushed.

Another smart post going around reminded me of this thing that's been in my drafts, so you gonna hear some SURPRISE RENFIELD 2023 DEEP THOUGHTS FROM ME. <3

Going back to this post which still does occasional numbers,

I feel some ways about how Robert Montague Renfield is overflowing with empathy for other people despite his own circumstances being a million times more dire. He adopts calling the group's abusers "monsters" despite intimiately knowing an actual genuine monster and arguably being one himself.

Like he could've EASILY taken a look around that support group and been like "boo hoo call me when your literal intestines are coming out of your body", but instead of ever looking down on them or treating it as a competition over who has suffered most, he meets them at the place where they're hurting and absorbs it and connects to his hurt. He recognizes it as part of the same continuum, even when the details don't line up or measure evenly, it's Real and an experience he can imagine or relate to. Which is a good thing for support and/or therapy in a group setting.

Later on he lightly calls Rebecca out for her anger issues, but then after she rants about the source of that anger, his response is an utterly sincere "that sounds painful." INTESTINES. OUT OF HIS BODY. MAYBE 48 HOURS + 1 BAD HAIRCUT AGO. HE HAS JUST SHOWERED OFF THE BLOOD OF THE ONLY FRIENDS AND ALLIES HE HAD. But he winces in sympathy over her corruption and dead dad stuff.

And yes, I also feel a way about how that's a part of his nature that's been either exploited or fully trained into him by Dracula, because we ALSO see that in their interactions - "you deserve better", "I know being undead is a painful existence." Like… the fact he constantly leads off with empathy and validation of other people's feelings and that's the way he diffuses Rebecca's anger in that moment is not NOT linked to his codependency issues and the ways he's been abused. Of course everyone else's pain is not less valid than his, it's more valid actually!! He is more than happy to shut up about his needs and his trauma and declare someone else as the priority and Life's Main Character. The way he's still apologizing compulsively and transferring his submissiveness and fawn behavior to somebody else is very much a thing other people have pointed out, jokingly and sincerely.

But in spite of that, I still think it's ultimately a sign of his kindness and genuine compassion for others. And it doesn't have to be a one-way street.

Rebecca is (pretty understandably!) not as sympathetic to him in that scene as he's being with her, because she's still very freaked out and thought he was an ENTIRELY different type of weirdo than the weirdo he's turned out to be. But. Less than an hour later she is listening with an open mind while he tells her the most bluntly holding-myself-accountable, not-self-pitying version of his story and her takeaway is not only "you're not a bad person", it's specifically: I've done shit that I regret too, and being mean to my sister is on an almost LAUGHABLY smaller scale than anything you just said to me, but the point is I recognized your feelings on a basic humanity level somewhere in there and related to that. Again not a competition, and not about their experiences being perfectly in proportion with each other! It's good.

Is the Rollo hype real????? Wh-why???? Like, please, I genuinely don't get it????? Boy looks like a midschooler version of uncooked chiken!!! Whoever did his hair needs to be thrown in jail!

Sometimes you must look beyond the atrocious haircut to see the appeal, as is the same with someone like Rook. <3 Rollo is perfect and beloved and babygirl and handsome to me. There are many reasons to love Rollo, but if it's the haircut or the sickly pale complexion or the dark circles under the eyes that you dislike then you can always love him in the dark. (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

For one, he has cute hobbies and interests...like stealing everyone's magic. It's very gap moe!!! He likes to write in a diary and his favorite food is a croissant. Very fluffy and adorable contrast to how he acts outwardly. <3 but also he just needs a hug after going through so much tragedy. >_< and also lots of therapy, but then this goes for most (if not all) of the twst cast.

Also!!! He is student council president. :) a man in power will always be a threat, but no matter how dangerous or cold he seems he's actually quite soft beneath that. Also his UM is so COOL?????? orz I love it a lot. And his school uniform is very pretty!! And he has a handkerchief that he uses to hide his expressions. Very cute and polite of him. He is the ideal man (to me). <3

Also also!!! Religious metaphors + Rollo???? Crazy good combination. For when god, untouchable and aureate, abandons mortal, mortal must then seek solace in the same flesh and blood with which he is composed...or something like that with Rollo hehe. He is going to deify you no matter what, and maybe the thing he hates most is the thing he ends up loving. So if you're a magic user, you're immediately put on Rollo's hit list until he falls obsessively in love with you and suddenly he has to keep you pure and untainted from other sinful magic users. >:( wuuwuwuaaaaaa there's so much more I can say, but when it comes to Rollo I will always ramble energetically. ^^;;;;

And most of all, his chibi is too cute. T^T <3

#twisted chit chat #maybe it will help to picture him in 'meant to be yours' <3 #that song is so rollo....... orz #i am his number one fan i love him and i will be his wifey no matter what

Advice for people getting/recovering from top surgery

From someone 7 years post-op.

Get a haircut, you won't be able to do your typical routine of putting your hair up etc so a short haircut that's low maintenance is best

Button up shirts because you won't be able to pull a T-shirt over your head for a while

Your heartbeat is scary. There's less skin and fat so it will be alarming. I personally made my parents drive me to the hospital because of an ✨anxiety attack. However, I’m hypertensive- to someone who isn't this won't be a big deal. I just wish someone had warned me. So this is my warning to you.

The pulling sensation will be a little scary but it's okay. It’ll feel like someone’s tugging on a thread behind your nipple or scars but it's just your nerves connecting. It's a good thing. It’ll also happen even after healing sometimes during the winter because you’ll be going through hot (indoors) and cold (outdoors)

So your nipple fell off… yeah. That can happen sadly. Especially in the bath while you're sponging your body. The best case is to call your doctor/surgeon and see what they recommend. Always consult your doctor first. Sure, there are plenty of cases where people just lay it on, padding it in place and they bond right back but it's still something you should always talk to a doctor about.

Stop slowly peeking under the gauze! I know your mind is telling you your scars are somehow suffocating but they’re not. Leave it.

Even if you got the biodegradable stitches and they’re 99.999999% pushing out of your body don’t tug on them.

Try moving your arms a little every day, slowly and gradually. Physical therapy may be necessary.

The painkillers will make you feel full but eating 3 meals a day will really help get your energy back.

Be careful of your nipple grafts. Avoid crowds as best you can and I do recommend staying home for those first two weeks.

Walk around your home

Sleep on your back, and put pillows on either side of you. Sleeping will take getting used to.

[strawbs-screaming]

punch out boxers and what they would be cancelled for (if they would be even cancellable)

hey besties, im back with another dumb post

"But moe, how the fuck does the cancellable-ness scale work?"

great question, you simply have to use common sense, for example: if you were to see someone chuck a entire dumbell into the crowd that would probably make you say "that isnt okay. what is wrong with that bitch" You can add your own opinions to this and play around with the ratings

_______

Glass Joe - being french using a headgear that has clearly been modified against a child, 1/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, not cancelled but absolutely MURDERED on the internet to hell and back

Von Kaiser - the most you can get him on is screaming at a 17 year old boy, 2/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, also made fun of on the internet for getting his shit rocked by children three times

Disco Kid - not much you can accuse him of, 0/10 on the cancellable-ness scale and pretty loved on the internet

King Hippo - taping a entire ass manhole to his stomach, probably causing some people to fall and clubbing a child with his fists, maybe a 4/10, not loved but not hated either on the internet

Piston Hondo - Literally nothing, he bows, he reads manga, he cooks, he punches, he runs and he does it all respectfully, 0/10 on the cancellable-ness scale and loved a whole lot

bear hugger - taking a squirrel into the ring and also clubbing a child, 3/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, Just a lot of "is the squirrel okay" stuff

great tiger - cloning himself while fighting a child and having tiger skin on his corner (old ref to past game and i needed to include that because why not), that Tiger skin rug ramps him up to a 4/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, 2/10 if you dont include it

Don Flamenco - chucking perfume bottles on the floor and bragging to a 17 year old that he gets bitches, 3/10 on the cancellable-ness scale, a point lowered because he loves carmen and the internet loves power couples

Aran Ryan - putting horseshoes in his gloves, headbutting a child, using a flail also loaded with horseshoes, stealing macs gloves, headbutting the ref and having a bad haircut probably gets you at least one angry rant, 7/10 on the cancellable-ness scale (that was a big jump from "yeah this dudes done some questionable stuff but hes ok" to "bring me the pitchforks and torches")

Soda Popinski - using steroids publicly, going apeshit on a child for knocking out his bottle out of his hands, that lands him at a 5/10 on the cancellable-ness scale

Bald bull - being a generally angry person, chucking a entire ass dumbell into a crowd, charging at the ref and hitting his head in the corner, that lands him at a generous 8/10, unless he gets therapy, its staying high

Super Macho Man - as a breath of fresh air, you can only point out the fact that hes dilfbaiting, And for that im giving him a 3/10 on the cancellable-ness scale

Mr Sandman - totalling a entire building is the only thing you can get mad at him for, And tbh its kinda fair for him to get pissed off, 4/10 on the cancellable-ness if you count the destruction, 1/10 if you dont

hi maeby! its been a while, im sorry this took too long and I don’t know exactly when you’ll see this but know that i’m writing this on december 16 for reference hehe (this will essentially be a 2023 recap but ill try to be as short as possible)

last time i was here i think it was the end of june or beginnings of july and a lot has happened in my life, on august i turned 21 and i also went to the eras tour!! definitely one of the best days ever in my life and maybe top 3 on best days of 2023  🤍

talking about my birthday its little sensitive topic, for the past five years or so my birthdays has kind of been something that I’ve dreaded so much and i'm just the opposite of happy, its like those posts you see everywhere of people crying in their room during their birthdays and this year wasn’t  the exception, this years birthday..lets just say it will be memorable but leaving that aside august was kind of okay

the concert experience may be on of my favorite memories just because it feel so cathartic, it was just so beautiful talking to strangers and us bonding over music and art, listening and singing to my favorite songs, getting to go to a concert for the first time on my own, traveling with my sister (just the two of us) for the first time, all the beautiful pictures and videos and people that i keep with me because of that one experience it just something that I will eternally be grateful for (also, so. many. friendship. bracelets.)

i remember looking back at my life and my lowest points in it and thinking (and hopefully it won’t get too sad) “well maybe someone out there was right, i just needed to hang on a little tighter, cause imagine missing out on this” 

september was filled with delicious food and me going out a little more often

in october was my sisters birthday, so she held a halloween costume party and i got to dress up as an elf/fairy, i also went to one of my best friends birthday party and felt amazing seeing a couple of familiar faces after months, and some of them even years, waiting. also yes, this means i ate a lot of cake on october (my moms birthday was also on this month hah). i also took a ceramic class. i loved it (I made a small bowl :))

november i went out a lot, bought new clothes, bought christmas decorations, studied korean, went to the doctor cause i thought i was going to die (turns out im not, even far from it : im as healthy as a horse) 

and as of december, planning christmas dinner with my mom and sister, got a bad haircut that made me cry so hard and then got it fixed at another salon, had dates with friends, retook ceramic classes (i made two cups, three heart shaped plates and a little jewelry organizer), scheduled one more therapy session before the year ends after months of not going, took more buses this month than in my whole life and i guess im slowly figuring out my stuff a little more. 

i discovered new artists this year, feel in love again  with old ones that I had forgotten about, learned new cooking recipes, got a little more out of the house than last year, made amends with my body and established boundaries even though it hurt :)

turning 21 this year essentially meant a lot, i don’t want to go into more detailed as to not make this any longer but lets just say im planning on getting 21 tattooed on my next year haha

i hope the rest of the year was kind to you, if you feel comfortable to answer with maybe your favorite parts of 2023 would be great! if not just know that i love you and missed dropping by here, hopefully starting 2024 i'll be back here regularly <3<3

take care, stretch, rest all you need, take your time, and remember that im always right here rooting for you and hugging you 🩶🩶🩶

happy holidays :) love youuuuu

-🧸anon

hiii 🧸anon <3

it has been literally so long, i was taking a break from tumblr, honestly i didn't even think i'd come back but seeing this upon logging in literally brought joy to my heart knowing you're still around! :)

i've read everything, from your birthday to your christmas dinner with your mom and sister. starting with your birthday i'm glad that 2023 you had a memorable birthday after dreading it for so many years, and i hope 2024 also brings you joy! onto the concert next, i know exactly how you feel, it's something that you don't feel often and the crowds are just so amazing because it's people who share the same love for the same artist, and it's like you are in your own little world for a few hours. next, september & october, i'm glad it was filled with food and another birthday, it seems so fun to have a halloween themed birthday honestly!! november, i'm glad it was a good month besides the scary doctors visit >.< december seemed to have been a busy month for you, and hopefully your hair is okay now :( hopefully the therapy sesh went well. I'm glad your year was overall not too shabby, and I'm glad that you had a lot of character development. Hopefully 2024 brings you absolutely nothing but joy! 🖤

now onto my year, i guess i'll go with the highlights. i essentially had a relatively good year, i was able to do a lot of things, and uni was not too stressful, but it's a little harder this semester. starting with my august, i didn't do much except get ready for the semester, signed up for my september classes etc etc, it was relatively boring. my september was a little more eventful, i took a marine biology class which was so fun, and i'm not even majoring in marine bio, we got to talk about sea legends and a lot of the lore behind mermaids and other stuff. in october i did the same thing, but i made one of my best friends ever, except uhhh we're not really friends anymore as of recently, but my heart goes to them, they meant alot. in november i built a new computer, a little nerdy but i actually really enjoyed it except i had a mental breakdown trying to do cable management LMFAO 😭😭in december i had a good month, except the basement flooded so that wasn't very slay but regardless it was a good month filled with nothing but holiday spirit and gifts.

now with a short little update on my 2024, because it's been awhile. in january i went back to school for the second semester, and it's been tough i'm not going to lie. i also got a boyfriend so like !?!??! kinda crazy, he's not too bad but like every relationship we definitely have our downs. in february, it was a short month but nonetheless eventful this is the downfall of me and bestie tbh, but it's okay he was like a life lesson or something!?!?! now this month, it just started and it's been great, it's midterm week right now so i'm a bit stressed, but i also suddenly got motivation to go back on youtube and write on tumblr again, so i'm super happy about that :)

i hope 2024 is kind to you and gives you a lot of joy! remember to take care of yourself, just as you always say to me, stretch, rest all you need, take your time, and remember that im always right here rooting for you and hugging you as well! ❤️❤️❤️

have a great year, and i hope to see you again 🧸❤️

[bazooka-overkill]

ive been working on actually tallying each boxer's infraction count becuz i don't really think that rlly popular video does them justice. i'm still working on it so any suggestions to add or change one are welcome /gen

list under cut :3

i was considering adding that none of the boxers are seen shaking hands after losing a match but then i remembered theyre probably fucking dead due to little mac

infractions will count in total between contender and td. i.e. glass joe kills a man or some shit in contester, and then hits the quan on little mac's body in td. in total glass joe has 2 infractions, rather than contender and td be two separate characters 

THESE R DEFINITELY SUBJECT TO CHANGE, WHETHER THAT BE ADDING OR REMOVING. I AM NOT A REFEREE SO I NEED TO FACT CHECK THESE LMFAO

little mac: 9(?)

note: his tank top is allowed in minor circuit, known as a “singlet,” but he’ll have to remove it in major and world circuit. i’m counting two infractions for that. also has a coach in his corner (doc)

no mouth piece (birdie had one in super PO so idk why they removed it?)

underage (ban until he’s legally allowed to box)

im iffy on his star punch as he jumps(?) to do it. (jumping isn't mentioned in boxing rules, but you will get warned by ref if you jump and attack)

faces his back towards opponent when he does a star punch (does a little spin teehee)

ducks so his head is below opponent’s waist/belt line(? might just be a perspective thing)

tank top in major and world circuit. see note

too young to hold a belt/title, so three infractions(? not sure if this is an infraction or something else entirely)

glass joe: 2

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

glass joe TD: 2

did some research and headgear isn’t allowed period. +1 infraction for joe

his hair also peeks out of his headgear. even if headgear was allowed, he can’t have his hair poking out

von kaiser: 6(?)

no coach/trainer in corner 

no mouth piece

improper wear (pants, boots)

hits with inside of glove during his attack attack thing

may or may not have some sort of ptsd regarding children so um. yeah. would probably be banned until he got therapy sooooo

mustache is more than 10 cm in length(? someone fact check me on this please)

von kaiser TD: N/A

yeeyee ass haircut (placeholder)

disco kid: 3

note: i love this guy. im also not counting his disco ball becuz it’s really just theatrical intros and gives a little swaggah to his fights

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

honestly the only thing i can get him on are his headphones. even though they’re audibly playing music, they’re still against the rules

disco kid TD: 1 (so far)

leotard. no clear line between waist and lower half

too cool (placeholder)

king hippo: 7

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

no weigh in and most likely no actual license

head covering (crown)

ear clap move

indecent exposure (? can i even write him up for this or is this a legal issue)

shoes are not boxing approved, seem to be slip ons

king hippo TD: 2

BRINGS A MANHOLE INTO THE RING???

bandages are allowed in the minor circuit, but not at the world circuit

fat /j

piston hondo: 4

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

head covering (head band)

unsportsmanlike behavior in the ring (bowing w/ eye contact. it's subtle but i'm still counting it)

piston hondo TD: 0

nothing! at least that's what i think.

bear hugger: 5

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

improper attire (overalls give no clear discern between his waist and legs, so low blows are hard to tell. plus his boots)

beard (needs to be clean shaven or well groomed)

does an ear clap move (need a hug or whatever the fuck he says before it i dont care)

bear hugger TD: 2

bringing a squirrel into the ring (im gonna count this as bringing someone into the ring willingly, as the squirrel has boxing gloves on and isnt trying to run away from the ring. the squirrel is willingly fighting and understands what is happening)

head covering

great tiger: 10

note: his head covering is for religious reasons, so it doesn’t count towards infractions. i also won’t be counting his magic carpet as he only uses it during intermission to entertain the crowd and it isn't seen in his actual fights.

another note: his clones, in my mind, act like actual people. great tiger is shown controlling them, but during intermission they can be seen lounging around and talking. this may just be theatrics for the crowd, but i see it as they’re all separate people. 

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

leaves his corner of the ring

5 infractions (for each clone he spawns, 5 being the max he can spawn. i also want to point out that a boxer can only have three corner men at a time, so great tiger having 5 people/clones, much less while he’s boxing, is basically cheating within cheating. aran ryan much lmfao)

pants go below the knees

mustache is longer than 10 cm(?)

great tiger TD: dead

did little mac kill a man in this fight (placeholder)

don flamenco: 5

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

spraying perfume on himself between rounds

head covering (toupee LMFAOAOOOAOA BALD ASS)

personal branding on his shorts

don flamenco TD: 2

turns his back repeatedly, which counts as being knocked down

emo /j

backhand punch

aran ryan: banned (12, still counting)

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

loaded gloves (DQ)

due to the fact that he was able to load his gloves, i’m willing to bet his fists aren’t properly wrapped and weren’t examined.

headbutting (DQ. also uses the ropes to gain leverage for said headbutt, so two for one combo there)

hits with elbow

once knocking little mac down, does not go to farthest neutral corner while ref counts

refuses to make an attempt to fight at certain points (his taunt)

breaking of WVBA property (seen in his contester win animation)

personal branding on shorts. unless a clover is his sponsor’s logo, it isnt allowed

attacks the ref in his intermission cutscene (banned)

i KNOW theres more i just cant THINK OF THEM GRR

aran ryan TD: 4

brings a fucking flail into the ring. im counting his flail as two infractions, both for bringing a foreign item into the ring. one for the rope and one for the glove. i’m willing to bet that the purple glove is still loaded, but im not sure of that but im counting it so FUCK YOU

steals little mac’s gloves. idk if this is a criminal charge or an infraction

tries to get a hit in right as he’s going down

soda popinski: 7

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

improper attire

doping (the soda)

foreign object (soda bottles)

also giving him an infraction for drinking the soda during his matches 

mustache is longer than 10 cm

soda popinski TD: 4

foreign object (soda crates. im giving him three infractions, one for each crate of soda he brings in)

hits the side of mac’s head with a punch (DQ)

bald bull: banned (4)

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

anger issues, would have to get that sorted out before anything else

attacking a ref (perma ban)

bald bull TD: N/A

uhh

being bald

super macho man: banned (9)

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

as much as i want to keep looking at his ass (WHO SAID THAT) i gotta write him up for improper wear. also adding that he has personal branding on both the front and back.

COLD CLOCKED THE FUCKING REF HELLO??? (PERMA BAN)

also didn’t follow ref’s instructions to go back to his corner; can be seen in the little cutscene between rounds

uses camera to take selfies

wearing jewelry (gold chain and earrings)

i also want to point out that he may have some tanning lotion on due to how FUCKING SHINY HE IS COMPARED TO EVERYONE ELSE

super macho man TD: N/A

racist (placeholder)

mr sandman: 2

no coach/trainer in corner

no mouth piece

thats it. thats literally the most i can get on him /srs

note: this is the BIGGEST fucking stretch i’ll make on this document but maybeeeeeee the way he’s stretching the ropes in his contender intermission could be an infraction??????? not really becuz he doesn’t break them but ugh idk it might just be more of a “the ropes r very fragile so plz dont do that mr sandman world champion sir” than an infraction LMFAO

i also noticed that when he gets knocked down, a subtle song that sounds like what those little carousels that go above a baby’s cot starts playing. cute and its a nice reference to his name 

mr sandman TD: 0

note: the "make up" under his eyes are eye bags, not eyeshadow. mr sandman may be emo in td but not like don

nothing!

my references

“According to rule 4.2. 5.2. 2 of IBA Technical & Competitions Rules, “a boxer can have a beard and mustache, but either must not cover the neck and must not be longer than 10cms.””

[more-thoughts-than-money]

Born “gifted”; grown chronically depressed

// long, personal post. basically a tutorial on express therapy (and by express I mean 10 years of rationalising, learning psychology on myself and fictional characters + 48 hours of not sleeping)

When I was grieving I spent 48 hours sleepless

it’s not that I couldn’t sleep. I’ve been on insomnia medication for 3 years now. I just had to “have a reason” and time to actually acknowledge my emotion and thoughts which caused my body to struggle with setting a “proper” circadian rhythm

Living with a 5 person family in basically a studio flat for 13 years of my life low-key harmed my ability to think and “feel” without privy eyes

this accidentally sent my brain into survival mode where I could only “think rationally” at night

So when we moved out and I got to have a room of my own

that’s when *serious* sleep problems started

my brain would just REFUSE to shut the fuck up

first off I was used to tv noise while falling asleep

i fixed it up with some rain sounds or watching ATLA when I was feeling funky

it distracted me enough

still I wouldn’t fucking sleep.

because my brain didn’t feel like it

probably hyperactivity which I could never “treat” with sport as an asthmatic kid

also an outcast but it is what it is

unable to name the cause of my insomnia I would just head to sleep at 10pm. Two reasons for that:

a) you know what they say! Don’t trust your thoughts after 10PM

b) 8h of sleep is THE healthy amount. And it seems like my brain likes waking up early for whatever reason!

yeah also I went through a fair share of medication before they got it right

anyways whoops I’m depressed now. Very depressed and even more anxious. Day by day my brain is giving me more compulsive behaviours and thoughts! Yaaay!

so I went through a 3 years worth of antidepressants

also a lot of unintended research (thanks, tiktok.)

basically I “subconsciously” KNEW what my problem is but “consciously” my brain refused I acknowledge it because haha living in the state of constant survival mode is way more fun! right?

right?

basically it was like being a doctor and being pretty certain about the diagnosis but having to go to some other doctor to objectively either confirm or discard my diagnosis

yeah anyways I changed medication, SNRI, venlafaxine

known to help some adhd folk with severe vegetative depression for “no reason”

Yeah basically my new psychiatrist kept on upping the dose until I got “a kick in the ass” so we know it works

and then my aunt died.

wELL my workaholic and emotionally constipated child brain would NOT acknowledge it

hell you’d catch me dead before I’d admit that I felt shitty but didn’t know how to deal with that because at the same time I “saw it coming”

No one ever told me she’s sick

I just saw her hair loss (or rather a sudden haircut change and awkward silence that followed) and had some foggy memory of someone saying her sister died of cancer

Mind you I don’t fucking remember my childhood that well

hell I don’t remember it at all but it is what it is

I just “know” some things and some are more of a “hunch”

I have this information buried in my brain but I can’t recall how it got there, ykwim?

yeah basically I was suspecting she’s dying of cancer but I was trying to stay optimistic and told myself I’m “overthinking it”

and I thought the mourning was “good enough of a reason” to stay up for 48 hours, write down my “thoughts” and wail all day long (yes, everyone gave me shit for crying growing up, how did you know?)

anyways yeah I did this and suddenly I “solved” the root of ALL my anxieties and minor paranoias.

as if it was a fucking riddle. Or a fucking house MD episode.

I hope you can understand WHY I’m so livid.

I SPENT OVER 3 YEARS ON ANTIDEPRESSANTS AND MADE ONE THERAPIST CRY JUST BECAUSE MY BRAIN WENT SO FAR INTO THE SURVIVAL MODE EVERY TIME I INTERACTED WITH A HUMAN BEING. IM JUST FUCKING AUTISTIC AND TRAUMATISED NOT “ANXIOUS” AND “PARANOID”

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE

Also I’m fucking dyslexic. But hyperlexic at the same time. I mean I’m hyperlexic in my native language, and I “remember” the spellings so I went undiagnosed

but I love technology. I want to be a CS student and then I’ll see where I can go from here. I’d love to work on an online learning platform for “gifted” children

y’know so they don’t lose their childhood but at the same time can associate learning with something nice and actually enjoyable

I think a lot of “gifted kid burnout” comes from the | dopamine <—> habit making | mechanism

so if children can learn they don’t HAVE TO be good at every subject and learn their “strengths and weaknesses” early on

Hardships later on won’t be as depressing

cause hey maybe I’m not the best at english but I know a lot about maths and I like maths and maybe when I grow older I can be a mathematician!!

you see what I mean?

at least this is what I’m trying to do for myself

generational trauma and neurodivergency running in the family made me develop some shitty coping mechanisms (example - perfectionism in order to cope with my actual time blindness and the “need” for structure while hating organisation and refusing “unreasonable” authority)

I wasn’t raised catholic, not really

nor was I raised queer lol

but my brain reacted to religion the same way people who went through religious trauma did

basically I put myself through religious trauma on accident!

fun, aye?

what I mean is, I grew up religious because that’s what “felt right”

tradition and all that

and then I realised the catholics hate me for no fucking reason

and then I thought “well fuck you too!” And called myself an atheist

later it went into agnostic

and a couple of weeks back I grew OBSESSED with religion

christian one I mean

Fuck I even started reading the nsrv bible in english (!)

and then I tried to interpret it “by myself” using some historical context and googling some stuff

WHAAAAAAAT! Turns out the bible is a product of its own time and is not to be taken literally!

That’s crazy innit?

Yeah and then I realised all of my recent hyperfixations (last two years) were a silent ways of rationalising ALL my “unreasonable” anxiety and trauma caused by; you guessed it

NOT UNDERSTANDING SYMBOLISM AND SOCIAL CUES AS IT IS

IN MY NATIVE FUCKING LANGUAGE

I can learn *any* language

I just need some books, movies, music in said language

But don’t ask me about any grammar. I don’t care about grammar. And you can’t make me. Idfk what present simple is but I can shove it so far up your ass your own mother won’t recognise you. so yeah

I’m great at learning languages cause they’re a “brainless” work for me

I mean

I learn languages for fun - it’s a tool to communicate with broader audience AND find more knowledge on the internet (I Google EVERYTHING in english)

and when someone tries to make it into an actual job of mine. This is when it goes downhill.

also english being coded as “language of knowledge” is my “main” language

my native language is way more complicated and I never really had to acknowledge my emotion in polish

I mean maybe I did but I just never wanted to cause I never learned that! English in comparison is simple. It allows me to communicate simple ideas without the need to “sound smart”

this and isolation from my peers (kids are bastards) gave me an actual “language barrier”

which isn’t the case really

it was just my overthinking

I started enjoying polish music way more recently cause I can never get the lyrics

so I listen only to what sounds “cool”

in english on the other hand the most of my music taste was built around midwestern emo and folk punk

cause I listened only to songs that felt “somewhat relatable”

yeah all of that understanding makes me want to write an essay but i kind of don’t care and I’m too lazy to do that!

so yeah this is how I “cured” my compulsions, anxiety, depression, irritability and perfectionism. By having fucking adhd and being a massive nerd. because I would hyperfixate on linux, customisation, open source applications, cybersecurity, programming

turns out I’m great at maths since I KNOW HOW to solve the problems

My brain is just too quick to do it step by step so I tend to skip and get lost in my own fuckin notebook 💀

schooling just made me believe I suck at maths and i should actually kms for trying to improve at it /hj /lh

And I suck at my own language. I know a lot of “complicated” words and can deduce what certain words mean (logically) but I have issues adapting my language to my listeners. I either cuss every other word (too comfortable; thanks mom LMFAO)

Or I speak like an university professor. To my peers. And they don’t know what the fuck is going on. And I end up isolating myself because of crippling fear of being misinterpreted. And people think I don’t have a sense of humour whatsoever because I don’t “get” jokes. But I joke a lot and am very sarcastic cause that’s just how I am. God damn it

When were y’all going to tell me not everyone thinks I want to use them and be a bastard overall when I need to ask someone for help. when. were. you.

icb I had to go to paid therapy, feed myself some subliminal messaging, deprive myself of sleep for 48 hours, force myself to talk to my dad about things I don’t understand or scare me, go manic for a week on venlafaxine, my aunt had to die and I had to have a reason not to go to school for 2 days for me to actually acknowledge my emotion instead of rationalising it.

also everyone in school + my therapist thinks I’m still manic and in need of hospitalisation. How do I even begin to explain it’s not that I have superiority complex, and I just realised I’m hella smart, just in a pretty unexpected way….. because thorough my entire life I never acknowledged it for the sake of being “humble”. bitch it’s not humble it’s the lack of self worth and being someone else’s doormat.

y’all think that if I say “house md and one tumblr post cured me” they’ll let me off the radar?

no honestly I have too much to catch up on (maths, c++, reading in POLISH, and learning German for fun) to actually care about “depressing” things of this world

I mean sure it does sound unhealthy in hindsight

but thing is

this is the first time in my life where I don’t feel hopeless both about present AND the future

and I guess that’s enough for now

I have “a goal” and that’s enough

Later I might catch a job as an actual university professor. Maths or computer science. Biology or physics maybe?

it gives me an excuse to be “eccentric” lol

cause the students are here to learn not to make fun of who I am and focus on that

sure it’s a funny anecdote to mention like “dude my physics teacher is fucking nuts but at least his lectures are interesting”

and that’s all I care about

I get to express myself instead of internalising anything

and the students get to learn

yay and yay

mutual benefit!

yeah anyway fuck I have so much shit to catch up on and I’m so lazy I actually have to reorganise my room and desk so I don’t try to do my homework in bed……. (Yes I was THAT depressed and lazy)

when I do my chores in bed I keep on losing my pens and I’m one minor inconvenience away from doing something I might not particularly want to do…….

yah

thats it I guess

If this post made anyone realise something (“connect some dots”)

congrats and I’m sorry you had to find out this way LMFAO

if not

scroll ahead, not the target audience probably

#neurodiversity #gifted kid burnout #mental health #txt #long post #personal #also you’re not “evil” but possibly have some developmental trauma. Probably. Who am I to judge. Have fun with the realisation! #hate crimes md #don’t take this too seriously #Im the last person I would take actual advice from #🦐🦐
