#just slight discomfort

[lycanr0t]

i feel very frustrated about the trend of giving chil body hair bc if it was any other anime twink i would be thrilled its just that it seems to only be because people are SO afraid of him looking young they have to make him hairy to justify liking him in ships.

meanwhile it does directly go against canon (he literally is supposed to look like a child. this is integral to both his character and his race's lore as a whole and it makes no damn sense that he would be mistaken for a child if he has body hair i mean. cmon.)

and it's like. some men are hairless. some men look young. when youre a trans man in your 20s-30s its especially common to be mistaken for a teenager, even more so if you're not on t. and short. these traits do not make you less of a man or an adult. :/

#rot posts #listen its like. i just wish ppl werent doing it for the reasons they seem to be #you NEVER see tiny little men get body hair in fanart i should know ive been in multiple fandoms where i was the only 1 givin bitches hair #but it also sucks when its like. clearly from a place of discomfort and not wanting him to seem young #rather than actually loving body hair #for example where is laios with body hair. wheres kabru. mithrun. literally any other character #(senshi us a slight exception on account of semi canonically having hair) #it just feels like a performance for no one. ok yeah good job you made chil look like a hairy 30 year old #did you pay attention to how that totally disregards his story and how he canonically looks like a child and that IS an important aspect #half foots face infantilism to an extreme and his appearance is a part of this. the discrimination he faces is partially BECAUSE of looks! #so changing him to erase such a HUGE important aspect of his race's lore just bc ppl seem uncomfortable with him being young looking feels #idk the feeling. its frustrating to me #i just wish there was some self reflection here. i guess. some actual acknowledgement of his canon struggles #do you even like chil if you cant accept one of his core canonical traits... #whew anyways this is HUGELY a limited edition post bc im deleting it as soon as my husband reads it ❤️ #i hate drama i hate discourse so like always if you try to start shit i will ignore + block you soo fast dont try me

so I've got some In Stars and Time thoughts. spoilers up to act 3 I think. I'm on pause as we SPEAK.

1. mirabelle my beloved. I love her story re: romance and how she Doesn't Want It but feels forced to have it and, loving her religion so much, just can't fathom leaving it for JUST THAT even though it makes her so uncomfortable and feel so bad. like I love the resolution tbh with how Siffrin just sort of tells her to Change by Changing the tradition instead of by forcing herself into it, the way she once told him housemaidens did sometimes (if re: clothes in that instance). it's just really cute.

2. I also love how you can kind of make a contrast between her not wanting to change bc she's so happy the way she is and this conflicting with her Change beliefs, and Isa joining the House of Change because he WANTED to change; Mira is happy with herself/at odds with the House's traditions, and Isa is at odds with himself/happy following the House's traditions.

also cis aroace/trans allo lmao

3. I SWEAR TO GOD I'M SIMULTANEOUSLY PUSHED BY THE URGE TO COMPLETE THE GAME ROMANCE INCLUDED, AND MY COMPLETE AND UTTER DISGUST OF ROMANCE BEING DIRECTED AT ME/THE GUY I'M PLAYING AS. EVERY TIME I'M ALONE WITH ISABEAU I'M SHAKING WITH FEAR HE'LL GO ALL ROMANCEY ON SIFFRIN AND I'LL JUST HAVE TO PAINSTAKINGLY SIT THROUGH IT AND MAYBE EVEN SAY YES. I'D GO INSANE. compulsion to avoid romance vs compulsion to absorb all gameplay available. immovable object vs unstoppable force. fight

4. i don't think the head housemaiden is a real person within the game. either that or she's responsible for the time loops and even the king. and definitely the island. I can feel at least one of these things is true in my BONES. she's just too nice and too respected with too much authority. and also she didn't fight the king herself which is a red flag.

but we'll see I guess! I'm really liking the game thus far. might even draw about it

#i mean I'm hopeful I won't have to react to Isabeau's crush because one source i found kinda by mistake said it wasn't known if sif is aro #so I'm hoping their reaction to isa's crush is a nonfactor #but i feel that's unrealistic by how often the crush keeps coming up #anyway we push through the slight discomfort though fr fr #bc i do like isabeau otherwise💔 i just wish i wasn't in the pov of his beloved lmao #also i really liked the odile and bonie scenes but I don't have that much to say about them yet so! #rly loved them though they made me smile #so anyway tags #isat #isat spoilers #isat mirabelle #isat isabeau #isat head housemaiden

[spoofy-drawings]

I won’t lie, still not an editor, but damn Remus is kinda fun to edit- that and I also wanted to give y’all SOMETHING instead of just tv static bc my iPad shat itself- so have another goofy Remus edit! (This one didn’t eat my storage as badly as the other one I had planned BAHAHAHA-)

#sanders sides #spoofy edits #remus sanders #slight flash but still #tw flash #tw flashing #flashing tw #just making sure #better safe than sorry imo! #I don’t wanna be causing discomfort #or worse a seizure

Kaeya is rather touch averse, cringing away from casual contact people give him under the guise of being distracted or idle movement. He's used to it, the Ragnvindrs and Adenlinde got him used to frequent affectionate physical contact, but it can still be entirely Uncomfortable if he's touched by someone outside those he is close to or someone he's otherwise Allowed to touch him.

#hc; kaeya #//Mentioned before; but am Elaborating on other aspects since Aven get brain juices flowing for this #//Unlike Aven; he's FAR more tolerable of people who touch him unprompted. & more willing to indulge for himself outside his comfort people #//Unless he himself had actively given the indication he doesn't want it; in that case THEN he's likely to anger & retaliate #//But yeah; his response is usually Discomfort & trying to get away from it one way or another. Can tolerate it to appear friendly; sure #//But would rather not want people to touch him so easily. Is decently okay with brief touches tho; like shoulder pats or the like #//Will actively lean into it & encourage further touching ONLY as a means to an end; adjusting any wandering hands only when going too far #//Esp if he can use that like a carrot on a string–if they concede to what he wants; they can touch him more. Maybe MORE than just that too #//He won't initiate any touch unless he deems it Absolutely Necessary; WILL internally scream if they Immediately reciprocate the contact #//Uses it as a 'reward' sometimes; a little pinch of the cheek; a hug; getting right into their space; if he sees they'll react favorably #//Maybe more if they have connection enough; like Huffman or one of his longer-running liaisons. Is p ok w/ sleeping w/ them as reward #//Sometimes he forgets some people don't like that he does this; like Rosie. Tries the tactic to get a favor then Remembers #//Absolutely apologizes; feels mortified when she scrutinizes him for it. Esp since she'd be one of few ppl who KNOWS just how Averse he is #to it in the first place. Him slipping up like that in front of HER is smth he'd STRESS over. She could hold over his head for all he knows #//How can he even joke abt it? Worse if she asks abt his way of doing things or indicate she doesnt Like that he uses himself as bait #//Has absolutely accidentally tried to seduce/bait sb like that who he absolutely should Not have. Like Jean. Ended up playing it off like #a joke between friends; but damn near had a panic attack from the guilt the moment he was safely in his office. bc Jean is SPECIAL to him #could he treat her like THAT? How could he almost let her SEE that side of him? His casual charm and facade are ONE thing #//But him actively doing something like THAT; esp for Jean of all people; is COMPLETELY off-limits; no matter his feelings #//Actually; especially BC he harbors feelings for her. Ppl like Lisa on the other hand; he is VERY comfortable doing this with/to #//She GETS the flirty habit & dishes it back without losing image of him in the way someone he regards at Jean's level possibly could #//And as far as Lisa knows; it's Only a playful habit; not a means to an end. The ones who prolly Know might be certain folks in the church #//But that's just bc he gets frequent checkups after every lil Rendezvous of his. Which is why he's got dirt on Every Single Person There #//Except Barbara; but he absolutely makes SURE she's not the one he's dealing with whenever he goes. Wants to spare her his messes #//Damn; veered a little but it's alright. 'A little'; HA. Nah; my tags are but the cluttered corkboard of my thoughts jhdbfjdf #//Diluc; Addie & Jean are the people he most Fears finding out abt his methods. Doesnt wanna THINK abt how they'd feel/regard him after tha #//Knows for SURE it'd be painful if the way they treat him changes even a SLIGHT. ESP Addie; he can bear the other two; but Addie??? #//Nah; he'd be fucken DEVASTATED. That's the ONE person he knows hold true unwavering unconditional love for him; no matter what #//To do anything to damage that? He'd be so fucken GUTTED. He expects everyone to get fed up with/disdain him at some point. But not HER #//Keeps this shit on the down low by always having dirt on the people he gets Involved with; if not using keeping it up as an incentive

me coming home after a 13 hour shift, socially, physically , and emotionally exhausted and ready to crash and never speak to anyone ever again

me: eughhhh mom you’re not gonna believe this shit

#i then proceed to complain about anything and eveything that crosses my mind until i’ve completely exhausted every event of my day #i tell her about every bruisd bump and lump that causes me even slight discomfort #she’s so tired of me #i just spent 30 minutes telling her about how someone tried to break into mg car and now i have water damage #she sent me 5 sex trafficking videos after #moms #listen we might not have the best relationship all the time but i will always complain to her about everything #shit post

okay genuine question especially for those who had their wisdom tooth extracted or even have some experiences with it, how do you realized that you had a wisdom tooth being grown out and how you experienced the discomfort of it?

#no but these 2 days rn i'm having a slight discomfort at that wisdom tooth area in my teeth #and idk if i said that there's a minor ulcer at that area as well because i assume that the wisdom tooth come out idk #but just now i check in my mirror and i just noticed a small white bump at the back part of my teeth #assuming that it's my wisdom tooth growing out rn #but yeah it's just idk.....is it the time for me to get that extracted or something else #iz being too random

The discomfort of not eating all day bc you don't feel good and have no appetite vs the discomfort of viscerally feeling your digestion after eating a scoop of mashed potatoes and gravy

#i only ate bc of The NotEating Discomfort #now im subjecting myself to the gurgling stomach which is not helping me feel better #I've had a slight undercurrent of nausea for like all of today and. this isn't helping 😭 #but i was cold and uncomfortable i needed to ingest SOMETHING #at least im not in pain i guess. no stomach pain w this sickness so that's a win #but god i just Do Not Feel Comfortable

[cruelsister-moved2]

maybe ive just had more interactions with italians than everyone else but italy absolutely did not “just” go fascist 

#sending love to everyone this affects etc #i get that the election makes it official but ive been like Concerned abt italy for ages #and i do always have a slight discomfort that like #just touching the news cycle for 30 seconds when a hard right gov is elected and then then back to ignoring #is like not a great way of addressing this stuff #like sweden i was more suprised they actually made it into govt #but like after reading that article its like #yeah the warning signs were there FOREVER #n we only get interested after its way too late

Eh, I’m annoyed so I’ll say it on main: Dogs may be man’s best friend but guess what? They’re also dangerous!

Socially, we love and accept dogs, but any perception of harmlessness probably comes from the fact that a) we see dogs as universally lovable and human-loving and therefore unwilling to harm people, b) we expect dogs to be trainable and to need to be taught rules, c) we only see specific dogs or specific breeds as “problem” dogs, and d) we excuse harm or mess that dogs engage in because “they didn’t mean it” or “they’re not usually like this.”

Because guess what? Dogs have claws. Blunter than cats, but they still have ‘em. If they jump on you, they can scratch you. If they’re big and they jump on you, they can knock you over. More than that, dogs have teeth and can have very strong jaws capable of causing major injury. When they’re young, they often play by biting things. If your hand gets in their mouth, they will also bite you because it takes practice and developmental coordination for them to know to bite softly or to avoid your hand instead of the toy in it. No, most pet dogs don’t want to hurt you! But that doesn’t erase their capability.

Other dog behaviors that we make light of or accept rather than seeing as a “species-wide character flaw” the way we do with cats include chasing things/people and barking at unfamiliar, interesting, annoying, or threatening things. These are not moral behaviors any more than a cat messing with a christmas tree is done to spite you, specifically. But to be honest, they “feel” dangerous to me regardless of how many times a dog’s owner says “oh, he’s not usually like this!” or “oh, he’s being naughty!” or “oh, he didn’t mean it.” Meanwhile, a not-so-scary quiet and still dog might be very dangerous but seem calm and fine. 

It’s on me to get over my discomfort around dogs, but it would be great if we acknowledged that dogs can actually be quite scary for people, and that those fears may be unfounded in the case of this specific dog that barks or chases but has been trained not to hurt, while they may be perfectly be grounded in reality when it comes to other dogs, and I have very little way of knowing how much I can trust your dog to respect my boundaries! You, as someone not uncomfortable around dogs, might not be the best judge of how comfortable others might be. And I don’t just mean maligned breeds, I also mean the “friendly” kinds of dogs like golden retrievers or labs.

Dogs can make great pets. They can also be a nuisance once they’re bigger than a housecat and have a lot more energy than their owners anticipated (don’t buy a puppy unless also you’re willing to work with an adolescent and care for an adult). Dogs are also capable of causing major injury, harm, or property damage, especially if not trained and socialized. They can also be scary without being harmful, or be dangerous while seeming innocuous. People can also do a great deal of harm by trying to “train” dogs without respecting their nature as a living being, e.g. physically punishing them when they do very regular dog things (so, you shouldn’t expect to train a dog out of being a dog, such as to never, ever bark or never, ever chew anything ever, or never need a walk). These are all statements that can coexist.

#like...societally we do kind of know this. we just think that feral cats are harmless while feral dogs need to be rounded up #but i think maybe as a consequence most USers anyways have never been chased by feral dogs? #and then you have stuff like puppy mills and getting rid of dogs because you thought they'd be cute forever #and didn't think they'd have needs or be capable of causing problems (which of course they do and can! they're living beings!) #and look dogs can very very much be trained to hurt. it's historically a significant part of their value to humans #does that mean they're inherently hurt-ers? also no! just that they have the capacity #and we need to respect that capacity #and that being said; discomfort around your dog doesn't have to be a slight against you personally

Sometimes I wish I could just pop my jaw off and spray some WD-40 where the hinges are supposed to be because man sometimes (but rarely) does it bug me.

#my stuff #rambling #Feeling alrght right now #Just a slight bit of discomfort on the left but not much
