So, I finally tried The Flavor. It was genuinely bizarre, because there is a taste but it's not really anything that's meaningful. It is like drinking "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously".
Which, actually, brings me to my conclusion of why it is like this. It's genuinely kind of interesting. There are no real disparate elements between the two beverages, nothing that would expressly taste bad if mixed. But, also, cranberry and cucumber aren't really good together, or bad, just weird. Then there's the makeup of it all. Salt, sugar, and alcohol. I genuinely think that when these things combine in this way they actually do sort of short out your brain and get NULL as a response. Because you do taste something, it's just nothing.
My primary reaction to it was that it was heavy. Not the way cream or oil is heavy, but the way a small weight in your mouth would be heavy. My brain prioritized the mass of The Flavor before it could work out what it tasted like.
Like I said, this is "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously" of drinks. There is nothing wrong with the actual composition of the beverage, but it is incoherent nonsense the second it has to stand up to actual review.

Dear my brain,
please stop hurting. we are supposed to work together and be friends and you are giving me a lot of trouble. i think that we can come to some sort of mutual understanding where i give you what you need and you dont make my vision white out every time i stand up.
your pal,
chords

*holds your face in my hands* if you're going to write it, ill write it with you
as someone from massachusetts myself i thought there would be way more ny/mass in this fandom considering i was raised to give someone walking around Boston in a Yankees cap a death stare but also going on vacation there and loving the people and the sights
i WILL draw them and i WILL help you write them (i would write a fic on my own but i cannot finish anything i write on my own kalsjfd)
-yeti <3
good to know the massachusettans themselves cry for more ny/mass. i, a *cough* humble californian *cough*, will do my best🫡 (if i do even attempt to write).
if only i was into baseball. then i could really write their dynamic. alas all i know is hockey and the rags/bruins rivalry isnt as big as the yankees/red sox rivalry but its something . appreciate ur willingness to help i will let u know if i need help . or i might just post abt it. who knows!

Chronic illness life is all about learning to just roll with stuff.
The Hubs just walked back to find me sitting on the floor slurring “POTS flare! Ooh Oooh ooh!” to the tune of the Duck Tales song while half-conscious.

I keep loads of basic supplies in my car because there are so many homeless people in my city. I'm leaving the gym, and this dude stops and asks for a light. While I'm handing him my lighter, he asks if I have any water. I say I only have Gatorade right now, and move to my trunk and tell him he's welcome to anything he needs back there. He picks up some soap, sniffs it, and says, "This is all garbage. Nobody wants this," and left. And, like, I'm not sure if I need to rethink what I'm stocking my car with or if he was just an asshole.

realizing that my friend's parents actually like me and are actively trying to make sure they see me when they come up to visit for that friend's birthday is making me almost cry they're so sweet

dont get me wrong, gatorade is always necessary and good, but it is at its best when you have to hoover it as hard as you can from that hard plastic gatorade nipple. the open screw caps will NEVER compete

ok but this really is hittong so hard and it means so much to me. gerard is like the reason i felt i could experiment with pronouns and think about gender and be weird and vague and fun and not worry so much about words or anything and i had a very long 6 hour shift at the misgendering factory today and clocking out and seeing gerard so happy and light feeling free in a dress spinning around with their friends and like. the video of them singing the world is ugly. idk its all getting to me a lot
