#i don’t even exercise

[bakudekublogblog]

the funniest part about coming to mha late, was I knew bkdk was extremely controversial and had seen some of the discourse about from the outside, so when I finally decided to watch it I was shocked to discover just how much of the plot revolved around izuku having a huge crush on kacchan

#bakudeku #bkdk #chases him down with a broken arm to tell him his secret #gets powers from all might bc he saw his beloved was the boy being attacked by the sludge villain #ochako: isn’t that the kid who bullies you? izuku: YEAH HES AMAZING #I WANNA BEAT YOU BC YOURE AMAZING KACCHAN #copies all his moves #only decides to take the tournament seriously when kacchan does #just the entirety of kacchan v deku part two #trains with kacchan shares his top secret meetings with all night with kacchan #watches him longingly as he saves to win during the training exercise #goes into a bloodlust when kacchan takes a hit for him #only returns home when kacchan pleads with him to come back #kacchan gets murdered specifically because izuku loves him so much #izuku takes the fight with Shigaraki to the ground to protect kacchan’s dying body #longingly staring at him as kacchan saves all night #little baby izuku chasing him around and staring at him bc he’s just that besotted #kudo teasing izuku by bringing up kacchan #and that’s all just izuku don’t even get me started on Our Gaylord and Savior Kacchan

i know travis guiding them was 100% travis and not in character as chet bc he didn’t even have the voice going, but i also would like to imagine that chet did exactly that.

i like it generally bc he has moments like that where he drops the chaos when things get serious (i’ll never forget watching him and orym talk about will and realizing that oh god, under all those layers of whatever the fuck is going on with him, he cares so much).

but i really like it in this specific situation too bc i’m pretty sure imogen was the one to step up after his confession and immediately say they weren’t going to leave him, and i can totally see him avoiding the conversation in the moment but then stepping up to guide her and taking it really seriously out of appreciation.

#idk something about chet and the way he acts when things get serious is FASCINATING to me #like he says he doesn’t get attached but oh he is soooo attached and it shows so much when shit starts going down #even if that shit is just an unexpectedly terrifying team building exercise #yknow like it’s inevitable that a piece of the player always ends up in the character #and i would Love if this is a travis trait that chet inherited #bc like. you might think it’d be fjord who would get that #but really when you think about it fjord is (with nothing but love for my boy) not always the best under pressure #like i can see him being good at it but also potentially really bad at it #vs chet who like. isn’t the obvious choice but if you pay attention!!! i don’t think it would be out of character at all #idk man i have so many thoughts about this #at first i was like yeah that wasn’t chet at all but then i was like wait. but what if it WAS #c3e79 #c3 spoilers #cr spoilers #chetney pock o'pea #bells hells #critical role #c3

The most terrifying question a person with tummy troubles can get: what food can you eat?

All thoughts immediately leave my head. What? No food. Don’t do that. Me, my food? You’ve probably never heard of it. You don’t want me to answer that. I’m moving to Antarctica.

#short answer: no garlic onion gluten or high fructose corn syrup #long answer: you don’t want the long answer. i don’t even want it. you’d have to become an amateur dietician to even get the gist of it #you’d need to pay for an app. and memorize a bunch of stuff and amounts #you’d have to read every label on everything. ​you’d have to learn that the FDA and the USDA have different rules for listing ingredients #do you want to know what a galacto-oligosaccharide is? do you really? #there aren’t even good infographics about it they’re all terrible #please just tell me where you want to get dinner so i can check the menu #please just ask me ‘hey what chips do you want’ or ‘where can i find a spice mix that works for you?’ #those have simple answers #‘what food can you have’ does not have a simple answer #i love that we’re humans and we show love through food but consider: #loving me through food is an exercise that requires in depth research and dedication or i will be up all night vomitting and shitting myself #sepulchritudinous #fodmap stuff

i find this shit sooooooooo fucking annoying and frankly unworthy of respect… obviously advertising and branding are powerful and that’s why companies invest in them but i genuinely have no fucking patience for grown ass adults acting like corporations are standing their holding a gun to their heads and forcing them to spend money on their stuff. it’s genuinely pathetic to me. grow the actual fuck up please

#this isn’t the worst example i’ve seen but i guess it’s a straw breaking the camel’s back moment #bc this mentality is everywhere and it’s fucking annoying every time #by grow the fuck up i don’t even mean stop spending money on disney stuff #i mean stop acting like you are being helplessly oppressed and incapable of exercising choice #also i feel like going to the parks is actually qualitatively different than listening to a soundtrack #bc of the labor stuff…. not that i think going to a disney park makes someone like evil #but it does kind of gesture to other limits of this sort of ‘corporate helplessness’ style analysis #reminiscent of AHP being like ‘i’m burned out bc i HAVE to grow tomatoes because of Culture’ #you literally don’t. grow up

Believing in rom-communism is all about believing that everything is going to work out in the end... Now, it may not work out how you think it will, or how you hope it does, but, believe me, it will all work out.

#ted lasso spoilers #ted lasso #otp: you liven up the place #mine #m*ne: lasso #i like don't want to tag this with anything i'm having a thought exercise lmao #this is the tip of the iceberg for real i really do think it's their movie #and on an emotional level i'm devastated by this and on an intellectual level i'm just. fascinated #if we take the end as endgamey (though i'm partial to hannah canon ha) #within that endgame the universe gives her a consolation prize of a ted #and i don’t even think that’s my biased reading like his name means the same thing he also is from another country is also divorced also has #a child who evidently can be moved around more easily maybe cause she’s younger and amsterdam is closer #plus all the other similarities we’d talked about after amsterdam #and all the little moments that fatefully lead rebecca to this moment are moments with ted #ted walks away from her and she walks out the door to find this man again #it wouldn’t have happened if she didn’t need to say goodbye to her soulmate #with all of that idk it seems like they added this man not just as love interest but so that he'd be specifically #filling the void ted left in her life and in their romcom #to invoke sleepless in seattle like that when there is a very clear fated soulmate relationship at play #and then to give the ending to another character #like no shade to matthijs he's a fine man but #it just seems intentionally to say the hero of this story has to leave #so 'god's gift' is this substitute #is it the 'it just doesn't happen twice'?? is ted like the maggie of this situation??? #is it 'the dream of someone else' which kinda seems like hannah's reading?? #you can't always get what you want (the romcom ending the way you think it's going to) but you get what you need (them ending up with their #respective families and possibilities for the future)??? #it's just that isn't it. just a completely heartbreaking realization of ted's romcommunsim speech #it's bananas and on purpose and i'm in pain

30 Day Writing Challenge - Day 3

Use the words: kitchen, date, music (from this list) ➸ this could be canon-verse (ish??) or it would honestly work for any AU of mine too. choose your own adventure!

“This doesn’t count as our big date night, for the record.”

Foggy actually pauses in the middle of pouring the wine and gestures around him in bewilderment. “What? Why not?”

“We’re in the office kitchen,” Matt says, leaning back in the uncomfortable plastic chair. When they’d moved into their new office—after a much longer time than either of them had counted on working out of the back of the Nelsons’ shop—money had still been tight enough that most of their furniture was secondhand and largely donated by well-meaning friends and family. They’ve been slowly replacing things to make the place seem less ramshackle but it takes time and they’ve obviously focused their early efforts on the spaces that their clients actually see. The pathetic little kitchen table with its two chairs is not a high priority for replacement, all things considered.

“What’s wrong with our kitchen?” Foggy asks. “Kitchens can be romantic.”

“Kitchens in general can, sure, but this one cannot.”

“And I’m asking why not?”

“For one thing, it’s not really a kitchen,” Matt says. “It’s a coffeemaker, a few cabinets, and a microwave.”

“And a sink,” Foggy replies, cheerfully. “Don’t forget the sink.”

“Oh, right. The sink does make it more romantic.”

“Thank you!”

“A date needs ambience,” Matt continues, undeterred. “Candles, or mood lighting, at the very least. Music or…something! We have none of that.”

“I can get that wind-up lantern we have in case of power outages, if you think that would help,” Foggy says. “And I think I have a kazoo in my office.”

“Why do you have a kazoo, of all things?”

“Marlena’s daughter gave it to me last time they were here. I think it counts as our payment for that case, by the way.”

Matt shakes his head, refusing to be amused. “We’re drinking bodega wine and eating…God, what are we even eating?”

“Your choice of—” Foggy is interrupted by the crinkling of plastic—“frozen breakfast burritos or…pizza bagels.”

“We’re grown men,” Matt says, scandalized, but somehow his smile escapes his attempt at containment. “This is pathetic.”

“I don’t know when you suddenly got too good for convenience store fare, but I’ve never made any such claims.”

“Your mother would kill me if she knew this is what I let pass for a romantic dinner.”

“Believe it or not, Matt, I don’t report back to my mother after every date,” Foggy replies, sounding like he’s very much resisting the urge to laugh. “Where on earth would you get the idea that I did?”

“I don’t know,” Matt sighs. “I’m being irrational, I understand.”

Foggy pats his hand where it’s resting on the table. “I’m disappointed too,” he says, gently.

Matt sighs again, even more dramatically. They’d had big plans to go out tonight, to finally take a night to themselves after cases had taken up most of their nights and weekends as well as their days. It wasn’t like they could afford to say no, not when people needed their help and when they needed to pay rent, so they’d been steadily working themselves down to nubs for the past few months. Tonight was meant to be a small reprieve, and Matt had learned enough to know he might not feel the need for it as much as Foggy claimed to but he did still need a break now and then, whether he could recognize it ahead of time or not.

Then, of course, a trial for one of their clients had gotten moved up, which meant they had to get all their prep done in a very small timeframe and their plans for a night off had dutifully been thrown over in favor of work once again. Hence the late dinner of whatever Foggy could find at the nearest bodega, because of course he was the one to remember, amidst the tidal wave of work, that they still needed to eat something, at least. Matt really doesn’t know how he managed to stay alive before Foggy—though, now that he thinks of it, “before Foggy” is such a distant time in the past for him at this point that he struggles to remember it at all. Which is its own kind of alarming.

“You’re not going to break up with me over this, right?” Matt asks, and again, it’s a real sign of growth that he can say it out loud at all, that he can even admit to needing the reassurance.

“God no,” Foggy says, rubbing Matt’s knuckles with his thumb. “First of all, this isn’t even a little bit your fault—”

“It was my idea to start the firm in the first place, though, so technically—”

“And secondly,” Foggy continues, ignoring him, “if I broke up with you, I’d never find someone else who would put up with this kind of thing on a regular basis. You’re the only person who understands. I got very lucky. Breaking up with you would be like hitting on a 17 in blackjack.”

“I don’t know anything about gambling, but I’m guessing that was very sweet.”

Foggy laughs. “It was, thank you for noticing. If we ever get a moment of peace in our lives, I’ll take you to Atlantic City and teach you everything you need to know about blackjack.”

“I have a set of Braille playing cards at home,” Matt says, feeling his face heat for no real reason. “I mean, just in the interest of setting more reasonable goals.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Getting as far away as New Jersey is pretty unrealistic, for us.”

“I appreciate that you want to take me away someplace nice, though.”

“Of course,” Foggy says. “Only the best for you.”

“Exotic vacations to New Jersey, fancy dinners from the freezer aisle, six dollar wine…” Matt muses. “Who says you can’t have it all?”

“You haven’t seen anything yet, baby,” Foggy quips. “If you think dinner for two in the office kitchenette is uninspiring, wait until you experience making love on the office couch!”

Matt wrinkles his nose, even as he feels himself blush. “Yeah, that’s going to take some convincing,” he says, though he doesn’t admit that it probably won’t amount to all that much. Foggy can talk him into almost anything, because a major component of being in love is being dangerously stupid for another person, he’s found.

“I think I’ll let the cheap wine do the talking for me on this one,” Foggy says, reaching across the table to top off Matt’s glass—or, well, paper cup. “Drink up!”

Matt does, and it’s a pleasant surprise when it turns out to be better and sweeter than he ever imagined. There’s probably a metaphor in there somewhere…

sharing today’s journal prompt and answer with you: what are you most proud of?

recovering from my depression and eating disorder. getting third in my year at university. getting my C1 in german. having such strong friendships. being able to unashamedly do things alone. my poetry. being myself. all the different sides of who I am. being a good friend. taking the time to get to know myself. not settling for less than I deserve. going to therapy for my sexual assault. myself every time I admit that I’m not okay or ask for help. the positive effect I have in others, especially encouraging others to get help. that I can let myself sit in silence without being scared of where my mind will go.

#hj #thought it was really interesting how it segued from accomplishments to who I am and what I am to others #a lot of what others see as my achievements don’t mean very much to me so this was quite a cool exercise #even if I put it off for a while #what are you most proud of? <3

#like why it’s so embarrassing and so annoying #i go through genuinely multiple boxes of tissues a week and not in a hot way in a sniffly annoying way #like can you have exercise induced runny noses if the ‘exercise’ is sinply shifting your posture … #don’t even get me started on if i go outside and walk around #it’s like standing up triggers it

Watched the first episode of dungeon meshi even though it’s a futile exercise for me. Marcille I love you I give u a little kiss

#it’s a futile exercise because (fun fact about me) I actually have read 80 some chapters of the manga #and I think it’s good! technically speaking and I would talk about it and rec it except for the fact! #that discussion of cannabalism and adjacent topics squicks me the FUCK OUT #IM SORRY WEIRD MEAT AND CANNABALISM MUTUALS #so at some point down the line I have to tap out #and I’ll probably skip whole episodes that deal with topics that make my stomach turn. alas #and yes #I know. it’s not even really cannabalism. but it is. ok. you know it is don’t lie

[carpathxanridge]

won’t comment this on the same post because it’s probably not what they want to hear rn but i know that some people HAVE “cured” their CFS, or rather have been able to manage it and return to moderate activity levels, by essentially “gradually building stamina.” but the approach and mentality behind the pacing approach is SOOO different than what the average person assumes “gradually building stamina” must look like, and always errs on the side of MINIMUM activity because of the seriousness of PEM. like it sucks to have the 3 mile walks you were once accustomed to suddenly make you bedridden the next day. that’s why pacing would mean, for a very long period of time, going on… a five minute walk, if that’s where you’re at. a one minute walk around your living space a few times a day. or ten seconds of standing, if completely bedridden. but if you’re not bedridden and are doing things around the house, even just if sitting up to work at a computer, pacing ALSO means laying down flat and having a full body rest multiple times a day, scheduled throughout the day. it means not just allowing rest, but ENFORCING it. the barrier to people with CFS slowly building their stamina back up is usually this idea that part of that endeavor involves willpower, that if you can just will it hard enough, try harder, the CFS will go away. how could you possibly need MORE rest when you’re doing nothihg? when this mentality is the opposite of what CFS needs. people who’ve successfully gotten their old lives “back” after CFS have done it by respecting PEM, erring on the side of caution, being so gentle with themselves and careful not to send themselves into a flare-up.

#i don’t have a CFS diagnosis #but dealing rn for a very long time with mystery chronic pain and fatigue #of which PEM is an aspect #and which has responded to pacing #i know what it’s like for the walks you once enjoyed and which once gave you energy #to suddenly be The Activity that day #and potentially make you insanely fatigued the next day #like since starting college again #i structure my entire day around MINIMIZING the amount of activity i do #even if it means more limited food options in my area of campus #even if it’s a nice day and i want to go on an actual hike! i know the next day i’ll be completely bedridden and in immense pain #even if the PT is telling me how badly i need to build muscle and strengthen my joints #i KNOW but it’s just impossible to sustain any kind of exercise routine that would accomplish anything more than #maintaining my current levels of strength and mobility #but it’s actually not truly impossible #but rather—i cannot have the exercise routine of an unfit but otherwise healthy adult trying to get back into shape #it’s the suuuuper low impact unweighted strength exercises #that actually help me #but also with all of my workload and just the burden on my body of walking to get around campus #i struggle with consistency #and have had so many flare ups #that if i didn’t give myself grace to not be pushing and pushing to make strength gains #then i’d truly fall apart

[aurumacadicus]

I have had three nights worth of excellent sleep and I am absolutely FURIOUS to know that getting enough sleep was one of my fucking problems I feel GREAT I have ENERGY and I COULD HAVE HAD THIS THE WHOLE TIIIIME?!?!

#i’m suffering #except not really #I feel great even despite my period creeping up on me #I don’t dread getting up tomorrow morning because I’ll be sore #like wtf I hate when people are right #enough sleep enough exercise and enough food I could be unstoppable #except for my ed tho that’s not gonna change lmao

I don't really have an issue believing Jamie was a different player under Pep. One, he just had to have been. Man City is not the mess Richmond was, and Pep wouldn't have allowed it. But two, there was a manager BETWEEN Pep and Ted that Jamie had, who allowed and encouraged Jamie to regress. There's a lot of factors going on there - Jamie, a young player, suddenly becoming the best player on the team, which he wasn't mature enough for, so he really lets the "prick" part of his personality out, helped along by his father and the way his father wants him to play and be. Then you also had CARTRICK, who wanted Jamie to be the star and for all the players to get the ball to Jamie. That was their play style. So you've got both him and Jamie's dad feeding all of that.

I think the main question really, since we know Pep would have done a good job training Jamie, and that Jamie is very talented and wouldn't have behaved the way he did in S1 back at Man City, is how did the previous Richmond coach (George?) manage to fuck up and especially fuck up with Jamie so bad that he became an entirely different player.

Putting these asks in conversation because I think second anon is maybe answered by first anon? Like, Cartrick threw Jamie into being the "team star" so that Cartrick didn't have to bother with coming up with a real strategy and then it spiraled out from there (combined with Jamie's dad and Roy totally checked-out as captain, Jamie was not at all in an environment to thrive in s1, I think that much is pretty clear).

After all these asks I am starting to see the vision about how the Pep to Richmond transition makes sense. I am definitely picking up what ya'll are putting down. But I also think what Ted did for Jamie is solidify the line between how he can act and how he should act.

Basically, I think it does go beyond just Ted rolling back Jamie's regression under Cartrick and allowing him to progress back to the "team player" he'd already always been at Man City, if that makes sense? Because there's a difference between being a team player because you are self-aware enough to realize your place as a cog in a much larger machine (which is how I assume Jamie was at Man City), and another thing to be a team player because you realize the intrinsic value in it and want to facilitate that sort of environment for the rest of your teammates, too, while in a position of influence to do so (which is the place I think he gets to, in significant part because of Ted).

#Jamie Tartt #ted lasso #ted lasso spoilers #asks #basically I think the traits he exhibited in s1 had been a part of his headspace before Richmond #even if he wasn't exercising them on the pitch at Man City (because he simply wasn't in a position to) #so i don't think he became a whole different player at Richmond so much that circumstances allowed #a version of himself that had always been lingering there even at Man City to come out for the worst #I don’t think he valued his teammates at city or had those deeper relationships there like he’s built at Richmond #and I think he’d isolated himself behind different masks before Richmond too #I don't think I'm explaining that well but yeah

Just a wild idea I have but maybe the best way to understand the female characters of the feudal/classical-based societies of ASoIaF is not in fact “this one is an analog to the bad kind of modern political feminism” and “this one is the good kind of feminism.”

#cersei lannister #catelyn stark #sansa stark #a song of ice and fire #just…the whole point to me is that even in a past we view as offering little for women #they still had rich inner lives and exercised agency in ways you may not think #noble women didn’t just live to pop out babies and embroider #I don’t need my blorbo’s fate to represent some significant social victory for womankind #for her story to be worth telling to me

hm. having a mini gender crisis in the middle of my shift again

#pentababbles #good LORD is this getting annoying #got hit by a sudden dysphoria attack while talking to a girl and had to ask myself: #am I a trans guy or just really really butch?? #like I feel. othered. from cishet women with my alternate lifestyle in spite of both sharing space with them AND being attracted to them #even though I know they see me as one of them so immediately I am Not a Threat despite not performing femininity very well #and I feel no communion or comraderie with cishet men. despite longing to emulate aspects of their performances #I don’t really wanna be seen as a ‘man’ but I don’t wanna be seen as a woman either #to women I want to be seen as an object of attraction. to my friends I want to be seen as masc. to men I want to be seen as a threat #and these things don’t all automatically line up with being a man… #I think I would be more comfortable with femininity if I was at least allowed to be masculine first. #like.
