“-stuff from last year-
Thousands of likes on this is crazy. Using a 10 second clip to purposefully spread misinformation and lie is so disgustingly vile. I did not “admit to doing horrible things”, at all, literally the exact opposite happened. Here’s summarized context for those that want to see what was actually said;
“No one was groomed. She lied about taking legal action, she lied about providing more proof later, and lied about almost everything that was shared. It’s been over a year since she said she would provide proof. I have and will be releasing the Snapchat data, Instagram logs, twitter history, and timeline, which proves by a matter of fact that she deleted certain messages, lied and hid context, and that she never provided these easily obtainable logs because they contradicted some of her own words.
I primarily used Snapchat as a messaging platform before I revealed my face because I was hiding what I looked like and everything else about my life IRL. I had many people from online games & content creation on it, and used it for everything, so I didn’t look at Snapchat as a big deal. I changed my mind on that before this even happened and made a private Snapchat for close friends.
Her story contradicts itself many times. with her saying that we planned a local meet up, while I was faceless and would literally leave the state just to go to the dentist, and hadn’t shown my face to even my best friends yet. with her liking and replying to tweets of mine and defending me from criticism, only a week before she posted about how horrible I was. with her not posting a single screenshot, video, log, or ANY BIT of evidence of anything that she claimed, other than that we had friendly conversation. With her DMing me from her IRL Instagram, with no fan posts and only her real life info, deleting posts, and actively hiding that she was currently a big parasocial fan.
On top of that, she had something in her bio insinuating that she was an adult, so I had no reason to even think about her age. Nothing inappropriate happened so I wasn’t looking into whether she was 17.9, 18, or 30. It doesn’t even matter if she wasn’t an adult, because we were just having short friendly conversation, she wasn’t groomed, and we weren’t even friends. I even (provably) tried deleting her from my Instagram inbox multiple times but Instagram doesn’t let you unless you block someone.
I did not reply in detail publicly (besides denying the accusation immediately) at first, due to waiting on her claim that she was taking legal action & providing more proof, and advice from a lawyer. She never did either. I did not lash out publicly in frustration, because I had to be very careful and think about how my response could impact future victims willingness to come forward against an abuser. I’ll be going into more organized detail later in a video on one of my channels, with far more than this, and just uploading all of everything for anyone to go through. but there’s a lot to say and it’s a delicate thing to talk about in general.””

My Vaporeon keeps drinking dr pepper. I'm not giving it dr pepper, I just buy a few liter bottles for me for the week and no matter how I store it, well, life finds a way. The upside to this is that it's bubble beam attack seems to do insane amounts of damage due to the carbonation, the downside is, everyone thinks I don't give my Vaporeon regular baths because it looks extra muddy from the dr pepper coloring.
Is soda gonna mess my Vaporeon up? I don't like looking like an irresponsible Pokémon owner, which I'll admit I probably am, but I'll kick the habit and keep it out of the house if it's hurting them. But at the same time, it's bubble beam is fucking lethal now, but I'm not sure dr pepper Vaporeon is League legal...
WHAT is with you people and your vaporeons
Listen. I don't know what the long-term health effects of letting a pokemon that's 99% water drink soda all the time are, but I can say with some certainty that if it's drinking enough soda to change its color that it's going to have issues related to super-high sugar intake. Take that thing to a vet, or a veterinary dentist, or something. Ask the people at your local pokemon center.
Or I guess you could switch to lacroix and lord over everyone with your poison/water vaporeon ig

Why is everything medical so expensive (aside from the fact they want us dead) like $1.5k to get my lungs tested, $880 for fucking blood work and my endo surgery??? My endo surgery to remove pieces of uterine tissue throughout my abdomen and off of my organs??
Tumblr media
People say I’m lucky for being on Medicaid and receiving the bare minimum of SSI aid (I couldn’t live on it at all, I cannot save because of bills) and I am so privileged to even have these services. I am SO thankful that I can get help for free, but I am not receiving adequate care; my body is trying to, quite literally, kill me again.
I am so fucking blessed to have no medical expenses, it is something I will forever be grateful for because I’m probably never going to get off of it. I’ve been on Medicaid since I was 3 when they declared me “legally” disabled (yes, really).
Also the government is so horrible with disabled people. The only reason I have this is because my mom fought for me as a kid so hard just so I could be okay. I appreciate her always and I can’t express it enough, the level of gratitude I have for this.
I would die without having Medicaid, but I cannot get certain aids, I cannot have access to doctors unless they approve it, I cannot have any medication they don’t approve, any braces medicaid pays for fall apart and lose their stability because it stretches too much. I cannot go to doctors outside of my main hospital without a referral and approval. I cannot afford to be sick, that is the biggest problem.
Free healthcare seems like a dream, but it is not. Yes you get coverage, in exchange for only being able to have $2k at any time for any reason, not being able to marry your partner, you cannot choose a doctor on your own or where you need to get treated, you don’t have access to eye or ear care, you cannot get into a dentist because there are such few places that accept it and it is full because everyone is fucking poor which means the waiting lists are so long that by the time you’re able to see a doctor, they send you to a new one since your symptoms got worse and out of their field. There is a reason I’m on Medicaid, and it’s not because I have thousands of dollars in my bank account.
Although it is absolutely a privilege, without financial aid I would die. And I fucking hate that this is a reality for so many people. It makes my blood boil knowing we have enough resources to take better care of people, but the government literally refuses to do anything unless they think you’re bad enough. And when you are bad enough to their standards, it’s a whole other type of price to pay.
Tl;dr: people deserve low cost or free healthcare and it is incomprehensible to me how the American health system can just charge you whatever they want for whatever reason when all you want to do is live

Some Christian Borle works that I hope vox fans will know about !!
I assume that there are many hazbin fans who are discovering CBorle or my tiktok has just been fueling this misunderstanding. Anyway, live laugh Christian Borle
Spamalot (OBC) - Historian/Prince Herbert/others
He is so funny in this, especially as Prince Herbert and not-dead-yet Fred. Being ragdolled and shaken around by the king as Prince Herbert or insulting Sir Robin with his tambourine as a minstrel
Legally Blonde (OBC) - Emmett Forrest
I know this is one of his most iconic roles but Emmett deserves more love literally the sweetest character and CBorle played as him so well. His "little miss woods comma Elle" AH and the little things that makes Emmett RAHHHHH
Some Like it Hot (OBC) - Joe/Josephine/Kip
Did you know that he does most of this show IN HEELS. Not only that, TAP DANCING IN HEELS like are you kidding. He also wrote some lines for the show! I love the whole show in general, it is so funny and so real in how they talk about identity and how you present yourself. I can write a whole essay but that'll be for another day. I love this show with all my heart
Little Shop of Horrors (2019 off-bway revival) - Orin/others
Speaking of heels, he too was in heels for this production, but much much less than SLiH. Still, the talent is there. Especially when he plays all the different characters, from a crazy dentist like Orin to Skip Snip. He is also super unhinged and likes to drag out his death as Orin to make the audience laugh. I recommend watching the tiny desk concert first if you are not familiar
Thoroughly Modern Millie (Replacement) - Jimmy Smith
There's not much for this show, just a video of him singing What do I need with love. I liked his singing in this and the small details he does during this song to show that Jimmy has fallen for Millie is cute
Mary Poppins (Replacement) - Bert
He may claim that he was the worst tap dancing Bert but he was still a champ for learning all that choreo and even going upside down in step in time. Another one with crumbs :" Gosh what I would give for a boot cuz rn its just the disney on Bway videos and jolly holiday. He did it with Laura Michelle Kelly :)
Me and My Girl (New York City Centre) - Bill Snibson
He did this show with Laura Michelle Kelly too :))) AND THE SHOW IS SO FUNNY it's so underrated and has very funny lines. Someone said that it was basically 2 hours of CBorle being silly. I also love his and Laura Michelle Kelly's dynamics as Bill and Sally. Speaking of this couple, Bill and Sally are literally as healthy as Emmett and Elle and i love that for them
Peter and the Starcatcher (OBC) - Blackstache
Literally my favourite show of his. His blackstache is so animated and silly I love him. And his agility sliding over the trunk and running around. His moments in Mermaid Outta Me ༼⁠;⁠´⁠༎ຶ⁠ ⁠۝ ⁠༎ຶ⁠༽ silly lil guy. Similarly to Orin, he likes to drag out his hand pain to make the audience laugh. AND HIS CURLS omg this era of CBorle hair is the best imo. And he won his first tony for it! That goes to show something about his portrayal of Captain Hook and how it needs more love !!!!!
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (OBC) - Willy Wonka
A lot of people seem to see this role as the role he went bald for. We joke about Borled Egg a lot but he brought such beautiful unhingeness to this role that really brought out the joy of this show.
Footloose (The Muny) - Director
He also directs! Though there is no boot for this production, he talks about his experience directing and working on the show in some interviews and a reunion zoom call. The cast talks about how he allows them to be free in their portrayal of the characters while giving advice and proper directions, especially since he was in Footloose for tour and bway. I would have loved to watch it since footloose is a show I like too. NaTasha Yvette Williams is also in this!
Anyway, he has done a lot more shows, he's been in the industry for nearly 30 years so he has a lot under his belt and I wish he wasn't just reduced to Vox's VA, Marvin or Shakespeare. He's a brilliant actor with impeccable comedic timing and seriousness. He's not a two-time Tony award winner for nothing!

What Representing Men in Divorce Taught Me About Fatherhood | Marilyn York
I'm six years old, and all I can think about is getting the pink Barbie Corvette! I need five more dollars. Luckily for me, it's Easter, and I know that my dad always hides one coveted five-dollar egg. I also know the best egg is the hardest to find.
This year, I'm ready! Before long, I spot it, right in the middle of my sweet '70s swing set pole! You know, the one that runs along the entire top of the set. I scramble to get the ladder and the yardstick and duct tape it to a broom handle.
I fish it into the pipe, and I shove at it hard. It flies out the other side, and by the time it hits the ground, I'm waiting above it like an expectant father.
The egg cracks open and inside … is the very opposite of my grand prize. Instead, a perfectly formed dog turd rolls out.
I burst into loud hysterics. At the same time, my father explodes with laughter. I run as fast as I can to my room, but he's not far behind.
It's time for one of his talks. "Honey, it was clear that you already learned the important life lesson: the harder you work, the better the payoff. So, it was time that you learned another valuable lesson: sometimes, no matter how hard you work, you just end up with shit!"
And who better to teach just this sort of hard-hitting, direct, and painful life lesson to six-year-old me than my father?
I'm a divorce attorney. I've been practicing for over 20 years. I began in Los Angeles, but I've owned my firm in Nevada since 2001. My firm has a particular sub-specialty: men's rights. My nine female employees and I specifically represent men in divorce and custody battles.
And guess who runs the business end of my law firm? My father.
In my practice, we've represented over 2,000 men, 650 of whom are fathers.
My expertise not only comes from my career but just as much from my personal life. I'm a mother. My children are 23, 15, 12, and barely 3. They come from two different mothers and three different fathers. Hooker!
Let me explain. I helped my ex-husband raise our 23-year-old son, whom I didn't birth, from age 5. I share custody of my 15-year-old daughter with the same father. My 12-year-old son sadly lost his father to suicide when he was just 7. And my 3-year-old is being raised at home with his father and me. I literally live my work every day!
So, what has 20 years of representing men in family law while living my own reality show as a wife, mother, and daughter taught me about fatherhood?
Allow me, if you will, to start with the second thing I learned about fatherhood: men parent differently than women. Big surprise! But their influence is crucial in the development of their children. Do you know any mom in the world who would put dog shit in an Easter egg?
Okay, maybe that's a good thing. Let me better demonstrate this point from my legal experience.
When getting my father clients ready for court, I prepare them for this kind of interrogation:
"Who's your children's doctor or dentist?"
"What's the name of your school principal or even their teacher?"
"What grades did they get on their last report card?"
Nine times out of ten, they miss the majority of these questions. Seriously. Does this mean they don't care or love their children as much? I bet it makes you wonder.
But please, hold your judgement. Here are the questions that my father clients can easily answer:
"If your son could be a superhero, what would his power be?"
"What kind of monsters do your kids fear?"
"How high does your daughter feel comfortable flying in a swing?"
"What makes your son feel defeated?"
Yet, in my experience cross-examining hundreds of mothers in family court, these are the harder questions for them.
Most of us know, motherhood brings with it a sixth sense and an unspoken bond to our children. But what about fathers? Even fathers feel insecure about this reality. After representing 650 fathers, I can count on one hand those that felt secure in their instinctive role and significance to their children.
What's interesting is my anecdotal legal experience suggests otherwise. In 20 years of practice, I've had over 100 men take a paternity test - like Jerry Springer. Seriously. Do you know how many were wrong in predicting their biological relation to the child? Two.
This shocked me and taught me my third lesson: fathers, too, have a genetic bond and instinct about their children from infancy.
Forget where you are for a moment, seriously, and close your eyes. I'd like to ask you to feel. Think about your childhood. Picture your father, his smiling eyes, his strong hands. Hear his deep voice. What did you love about your dad? Did he throw you high into the air? Teach you to ride a bike? Carry you home when you got hurt? Push you when you tried to give up? What did it feel like to have a daddy? Secure? Fun? Challenging?
Now, go back in your memories and erase your father from every scene. This is what the other 40 percent of people's childhoods look like.
Just under half the people listening to me, including my own 12-year-old son, felt sad, angry, or blank during the peak of your joy, while playing along. Eye-opening, isn't it?
Nearly two of every five children in America are growing up without their fathers, or 17 million, according to the 2016 census. Other sources estimate as many as 30 million.
In 2011, I joined the board for a local charity called Nevada Youth Empowerment Project, or NYEP. NYEP is a housing program for homeless girls ages 18 to 24. As board president of this small charity, I've been closely involved and gotten to know the girls and their tragic stories over the years. Hundreds of otherwise homeless girls have come to our program. Their backgrounds and what they have endured would haunt you.
Do you know the one thing all of these girls have in common? They all come from fatherless homes. Sadly, these girls aren't the exception; they're the rule.
My fourth lesson about fatherhood came from the data. According to the Center for Disease Control, children from fatherless homes account for 90 percent of all homeless and runaway kids, 71 percent of high school dropouts, and 63 percent of youth suicides.
While you listen to me speak, you have to be wondering, "What makes fathers so crucial?" Honestly, the answer is complex and better explored by psychologists. What I can tell you is that the data unequivocally tells us fathers are vital and yet laws and society undervalue their importance, making it harder for them to be in their children's lives. Even fathers underrate their own value.
I know this data upsets a lot of mothers, me included. But advocating for fathers isn't about diminishing mothers.
While children deserve both parents whenever possible, this crisis is specific to fathers. The occurrence of fatherlessness is epidemic, the effects are catastrophic, and the causes are male gender specific.
Nearly 30 years ago, leading child psychologist Michael Lamb reminded us: "Fathers are the forgotten contributors to child development." Yet, researchers have found that children with involved fathers have stronger cognitive and motor skills, elevated physical and mental health, become better problem solvers, and are more confident, curious, and empathetic.
Sadly, we've had this data for 30 years, and fatherlessness has only continued to rise during this time.
The main contributors to fatherlessness are divorce and out-of-wedlock births. Every 13 seconds, someone in America gets divorced. That equates to almost 2.5 million divorces a year. Lucky me!
Currently, more than 40 percent, or 1.5 million babies, are born out of wedlock each year in the US.
And this brings me back to the first and most significant thing that my career has taught me about fatherhood: family court is one of the critical places where fathers are disadvantaged, and this hurts kids.
Historically, this maternal preference was solidified in the tender years doctrine, which mandated custody of children under age four be awarded to mothers. This doctrine was in use until the 80's.
As the laws progressed, visitation for fathers improved, but it took a lot of years before the law was finally gender equal. In fact, it wasn't until 2017 that Nevada finally adopted a presumption for joint physical custody.
When I began my practice, and until 10 years ago, the best my father clients could expect was every-other-weekend visitation and maybe a dinner on the off week. While significant legal progress has been made, this long-standing bias against fathers still occurs in the enforcement of custody orders, in child support rulings, and it exists in paternity laws.
All the while, the number of kids growing up without dads continues to rise. Between 1960 and 2016, the percentage of children growing up with just mothers nearly tripled, from 8 to 23 percent.
Paternity laws desperately need more reform to protect the 40 percent of children born out of wedlock each year in the US.
Right now, once custody has been ordered, it's illegal to remove a child from their father - usually a felony. But it's perfectly legal, in all 50 states, for a woman to conceal her pregnancy, leave the father's name off the birth certificate, and never tell him he has a child, ever! How is this not kidnapping?
Just as horrible, a woman can knowingly list the wrong father in a child's birth certificate, deceive him, and a short while later, in many states, the wrong man becomes that child's legal father forever. He's obligated to a child that isn't his. And that child just lost their real father with little to no recourse. This is a betrayal of the worst kind. And the law not only allows it, it creates the opportunity.
This is what we know. Every bit of data we have tells us children need their fathers! The law, its application, and society at large disfavor fathers. The law is improving, but the statistics are not.
So, what can you do? We are the change makers, all of us.
If you're a father, make the effort, do everything you can to be in your children's daily lives.
If you're a mother, encourage and facilitate the relationship between your children and their father instead of trying to interfere or control it.
If you're a child, spend time with your dad, ask him to do something, seek his advice and guidance.
If you're an employer, grant the fathers you employ the ability to be at their children's events, to help in their schools, to take sick days to care for their kids.
If you work in the legal field, help us continue to progress, change the laws, and ensure that they're enforced to protect fathers and their children.
The importance of this pursuit cannot be overstated. The fate of nearly half of America's children depends on it.
I'd like to close by asking all of you to do one final thing. Please, stand if you are able or raise your hand - I'm serious, please - if you grew up without a father, if you raised or are raising a child without a father, or if you are a father who's been separated from your child.
Now, look around: the people really affected by fatherlessness. Really, look. Those of you standing and raising your hands aren't numbers. You're real living and feeling humans. You're the children scarred by fatherlessness.
Now let me tell you who can't stand.
The 1,000 fatherless children who were murdered last year.
The 3,000 fatherless children who died from drugs.
The 3,200 fatherless children who committed suicide last year.
And the 14,000 fatherless children who were incarcerated.
Everyone, please, stand for them! And do everything you can to help the remaining 17 million fatherless children avoid these fates.
Thank you.
==
The statistics on fatherlessness and the impact on development and society as a whole are remarkable. And we've known about them for decades.
https://www.baltimoresun.com/opinion/bs-xpm-2014-10-08-bs-ed-child-custody-20141008-story.html
The negative impact on our children is dramatic. For instance, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Census Bureau, children raised by single parents account for: • 63 percent of teen suicides, • 70 percent of juveniles in state-operated institutions, • 71 percent of high school dropouts, • 75 percent of children in chemical abuse centers, • 85 percent of those in prison, • 85 percent of children who exhibit behavioral disorders • And 90 percent of homeless and runaway children.
If you worked on just fatherlessness, you'd do more good for kids - including and especially black kids - than any bogus woke "systemic racism" campaigns.

Of course, activists don't want to do anything, both because it undermines their grand oppression narrative by admitting that there are other problems, and because it means the problem could actually recede and make their activism and ideology obsolete.
You might wonder who would be against shared parenting by default. NOW, the National Organization for Women, has spent decades fighting shared parenting bills.
"[Presumptive joint custody] creates an unparalleled opportunity for belligerent former spouses to carry on their personal agendas or vendettas through the children -- and with the blessing of the courts." -- NOW Executive Vice President Kim Gandy.
That is, fathers only want custody of their children to harass and control their ex. According to the experience of an activist.

my life is so cringe rn. i had like 4 seizures after starting lamotrigine for bipolar. which is also an anti seizure medicine. and is just straight not supposed to do that. it should not cause seizures. but i would have them right before i was supposed to take the lamotrigine, and correlated with dose changes/timing. but it was working so well i felt so good!! i didn't want to stop
so i went to the neurologist and he was like "u probs have an underlying seizure disorder. try taking it around the clock instead of just in the morning" and so i do that. and i have 2 more seizures.
and so i go back recently and showed him a video of me having one hes just like "yeah thats a really bad seizure. definitely not to be taken lightly. i have never seen anyone react like this to an anti seizure medicine before. we already did multiple eegs and other stuff, u gotta go to the epilipilogist" (specific epilepsy doc idk how to spell it). so i guess thats where im going next. all the way in may.
ill just stay on keppra. the worst medicine ever that makes me more depressed than when i started and destroys my appetite. while weaning off the medicine that made me feel really great and motivated. in my first semester of college where im already struggling with an accelerated class that has a final in literally 2 days.
this is so cringe tbh.
side note: ambulatory eegs are SO ASS they put glue on your fucking head in ur hair and then don't even remove it all and im STILL finding tiny glue pieces in my hair. it's been like 2 weeks dude stop.
side note 2: there's so much medical shit i hate doctors. my mom got permanently ill, lost her job, our house (main breadwinner) and has energy, confusion and speaking problems after taking something that will not be named for legal reasons. NOBODY believed her ever so she has just slowly recovered some over time (enough to work again and stuff) but without any help from doctors.
i can't even get a fucking root canal done correctly.
which is obvs nothing compared to that but still. i specifically say "hey, my mom had really deep really complicated roots. please make sure to be really thorough." and they were like "sure"! anyway i didn't get a crown put on immediately because i had a gut feeling they fucked it up. guess who can still feel in that tooth. it doesn't hurt much but still. i even told the dentist and he was like "well theres no pain. we classify this as a successful root canal :)" like dude.
AND THEN I've had so much shit going on w the seizures that i haven't been to the dentist and now the tooth about the root canal one is getting a cavity probably bc the sharp edges of the root canal tooth is right below it piercing it. luckily it doesn't hurt (no idea why) but like oh my godd

Bracket D thoughts:
"This Day Aria" and "The Devil's Song" are both very good, but I ultimately decided I liked the latter more.
Damn, "The Executioner" goes hard. Although I get why it might not win, considering it's going against everyone's favorite revenge ballad.
ALL OF THE VILLAIN SONGS FROM THAT SERIES GO SO HARD, AND THIS IS NO EXCEPTION. I LOVE THIS PETTY PIECE OF SHIT AND HIS JAZZY TUNES.
Screw Hawk Moth, I'm voting for that Voltaire bop. It makes eating brains sound so fun!
Both of these are so good, but I decided to vote for "The Torture Tango" over "It Has To Be This Way" because I love the polyphonics at the end. Also it's one of those songs you appreciate a lot more with context ;)
Damn, I did not expect "Dentist" to have those vibes. I like it though.
"Ready As I'll Ever Be" has Jeremy Jordan singing about justice and I'm a noted sucker for that.
"Holding Out For A Hero" is an amazing cover and it's so gleefully ironic how she's basically rubbing it in everyone's faces that she's won when her downfall is approaching. Also that white guy rapping makes me cringe, sorry.
Watch the ending of "Our Love Is God" live and you'll get it. This is when the mask falls away and it becomes disturbingly clear who JD is and how much danger everyone--even Veronica--is in from him. As far as he's concerned, he's the asteroid and everyone else are the dinosaurs. That ending when he clutches Veronica and she frantically repeats "Our love is god" because she's terrified of what he'll do if she doesn't--fuck yeah. Macavity is also very good, but "Our Love Is God" is just really good narratively.
...Yeah the DK songs have been fun but not that good, sorry.
"A Professional Pirate" is a very fun jam, and also Monika is legally obliged to lose all the time.
WHO THE FUCK DOESN'T LIKE GREEK MYTHOLOGY CYBERPUNK NOIR TO THE TUNE OF "ROCKY ROAD TO DUBLIN." VOTE FOR "FAVORED SON" NOW.
I think my perception of the original has been ruined forever, so I voted for the surprisingly menacing "The Boys Are Back in Town (To Kill You)".
Octavio's beats fucking slap.
...I'm a filthy Homestuck, sue me.
"Cruella De Vil" is so jazzy.
I'm surprised you voted against This Day Aria. That's an MLP classic.
Not the Hawk Moth hate! He needs something after being beat by literal children so many times. I commend the bold move of releasing that song.
I agree that Ready As I'll Ever Be and Dentist are both amazing.

I'm fully aware I could just look it up, but I kinda wanna hear your pitch: what's Beyonders about? Adding another book series to the to-read pile
okay im legally obligated to drop the simplified video version i made (should link to the correct timestamp) bc my ass spent way too long on it as a whole buuut.
so there's this kid named jason and he's the most Just Some Guy ever. likes baseball and animals. probaby is going to be a dentist someday bc his dad wants it. he gets hit in the head with a baseball and then swallowed by a hippo in that order but not immediately consecutively mind you and the hippo turns out to be a portal into another world (lyrian) where he promptly witnesses a band's group suicide and accidentally gets involved in a quest to bring down the evil wizard emperor, maldor. in lyrian he's called a beyonder bc he's from the beyond (which does not Just include earth but that's not important unless you want to read the other mull books, namely five kingdoms. i digress) and he meets another beyonder, rachel (homeschooler rep for the win) and they set off on this quest to get the magical way to defeat maldor together. there's a giant crab, but no more hippos. this book anyway. basically it's your typical kid falls into another world and ends up fighting the evil ruler to save said world story, except the worldbuilding is super fun and funky and all the magical races are SO cool (there's seed people who can live theoretically infinite lifetimes if you replant their seed that falls out when they die; there's dudes who can just take off their heads and put them back on and such; there's these guys that are just covered in plants? also?) and there's throat mold which will haunt me forever. you got such excellent places as: deadly swamp, deadly jungle, haunted sunken city within the deadly swamp, random library in the middle of the forest, a restaurant that spins in circles for little to no reason, and more!
in the second book it really starts to get into the magic of lyrian and you learn about the history and the interspecies dynamics and stuff. they start a proper rebellion and go on a quest for a prophecy and they blow a lot of things up which i fully support. the whole thing is this wonderful celebration of friendship and how kindness can save the world, and what heroism and sacrifice really mean, and if it's possible to change what others and maybe you see as your nature, and whether it's all worth it or not. in the end so many things happen simply because jason (and rachel) chose to be someone's friend and believe in them and oh my god it makes me want to sit down and cry sometimes. it's about the power found when you come together to make a difference and also the power just one person can have by choosing good. and it's also really heartening to read a story about characters who have absolutely no obligation to this world, to these people, who are still saying no i'm going to fight for you because it's worth it. because it's the right thing. i know a lot of stories have that but sometimes i just need it again y'know. fighting not because you must, but because you choose to.
also there's like excellent levels of snark and banter and jason does some of the most absurd things (like, besides being swallowed by a hippo) and it shouldn't work but it DOES. and lyrian is such a grim world for a middle grade series. maldor's seriously devious in very subtle, fun ways, like how he toys with his enemies and tempts them to his side to the point where people will fight him not to fight him, but only far enough to get an invitation to his pleasure palace where all the heroes go and give up fighting for luxury. i just really really love the worldbuilding which has gotta be Some kind of endorsement bc i'm literally a fantasy hater most of the time (shut up about lotr and narnia those don't count they're classic i hate Most fantasy okay) and i usually think it has too much worldbuilding. idk it's just great! it's great!!!! and it's not perfect and has weird bits and things that make me go eeehhh but at the end of the day. i love it. even when it murders like most of my favorite characters and made me cry a lot. like a lot.
ahem. that's beyonders. give or take several hundred pages.

My dentist has literally traumatized me. I can't stand to be around her after what she did, and I'm now afraid of dentists in general. I lie awake thinking about it, unable to sleep at night.
I have tooth pain all the time, I have for like years now and a succession of incompetents have only made that worse. I used to face my endless appointments with weary resignation and a vague sense of pride at how little dentistry bothered me, but now I struggle to even call for an appointment.
I'm poor as shit but I have to pay for private appointments, even tho as a recipient of disability benefits I'm legally entitled to free dental care. Because I can only change my registered NHS dentist by switching to another NHS dentist, and not one in the city has been accepting new patients all year.
People have told me i should sue, but I'm so sick and exhausted all the time. I don't even have the energy to figure out if I have a legal case, or if I've left it to long already.

you're always stressed about money. how come your disability money doesn't cover anything outside rent and food? how is it legal?
it's not disability money, it's 'jobseeker benefit with medical exemption'. it's essentially when you have chronic or medical issues, but the government has decided it's not bad enough for the disability benefit, called the supported living payment (which still only really pays the same amount, but the government doesn't hound you as much about finding a job).
and long story short, in the 90's national (our main right wing party) gutted the government benefits system, and while they increase the benefits once or so a year to try to keep up with inflation, it's not meant to be comfortable living, they (the government entity of work and income) state that the very point of it being low is to try and force people off of it as soon as possible. they don't want you on it, they want you working no matter your circumstances. and national wants to make it even worse, their leader pledging that if they get elected (which seems increasingly likely in the 2023/4 elections), they will force up to 2000 people under 25 off the jobseeker benefit a year, whether by 'getting them into employment' or if not, just kicking us off it because we're 'not willing to get job and stop taking government money'. he literally called people on benefits 'bottom feeders', and thinks we're all lazy tax takers lol.
things are a little better now, but after weekly rent, groceries, and the necessary money to the side to save up for the monthly power bill (plus phone bill), i have $0. and this is the case for virtually everyone on the benefit. some have it even worse. around 1/5 of nz children are in poverty, can't afford shoes, and are often malnourished. this is still better than the 1/3 of kids it was in 2010, but it's more that they base poverty on earning less than 50% of the median wage, and the median wage has stagnated and fallen behind inflation and cost of living, so there is essentially no middle class anymore, most of us have no money in savings, and can't afford car repairs or a dentist visit.
new zealand is heaven to visit but hell to live.

One thing about being an immigrant from a 3rd world country is the experience of disconnect there is between your daily problems and that of your acquaintances in your residence country (especially if it's a Western/ """"developed"""" one).
There are days that I have to go to work after having spent the entire night doomscrolling and witnessing from afar a catastrophic, life-changing, generation defining event. And it is expected (not legally, but socially very much so) that I don't bring these up because it would be a buzzkill for the Europeans. As an example, there have been way too many times that I went to work sleepless because I watched the news all night because some (insert political catastrophe, natural disaster, fucking war here) happened only to endure my colleagues whining all day about a less than comfortable dentist appointment or a rotten apple (this is not a joke or exaggeration btw, a colleague literally whined for A WEEK that her apple was rotten). Meanwhile I'm looking at them all 1000-mile-stared thinking "Yesterday we had an election the results of which probably doomed the next 3 generations" or "My country just had an earthquake that reportedly killed 50,000+ people but it's probably much much more because my country is not necessarily known for its honesty or transparency when it comes to this things." And it's not for lack of trying that I can't connect with these people or their problems, I tried, all the time. As a response they look at me all sheepish and quickly change the subject because it made them uncomfortable.
Some examples from JUST THIS WEEK:
An old friend of mine back home got arrested in the middle of the night for the horrible crime of being a journalist. He's not allowed to talk to a lawyer or anyone for 24 hours. When I told this to a coworker, not unprompted, but as an explanation as to why I'm a bit less than super cheerful and enthusiastic to be at work, he replied "I get it, there were some people who vaped right before getting on the train and I was nauseous from their vape-breath the entire way here". Sidestepping the fuckery here that there is no such thing as a vape-breath here, but even without that, MY DUDE, how are those 2 things equally worrying or frustrating in your mind?!
Second thing, my brother, DESPITE BEING TOLD HIS VISA WOULD GET RENEWED BY THE IMMIGRATION AUTHORITY, got a rejection for his visa application. His options are, 1) find an incredibly high paying job in 7 days (and also somehow do all the paperwork in this snail-speed bureaucracy) or 2) return to the literal hell hole we call home. The response I'll get to this tomorrow at work is, "oh shit that sucks, my kid also has the cold :(((((".
And this is a double-edged sword. Talk about it and you will be labelled "refusing to integrate" because I happen to not care if an apple happens to be rotten OR keep silent and have a lonely as fuck life where you pretend to care about the rotten apple your coworker happened to eat a month ago.
Rant over, Europeans don't come at me, not a good time.

survey #095
(taken december 29th last year; uploading surveys taken while gone)
Have you ever given someone flowers? Yes; I remember one specific Mother's Day I took a jar and went walking down our path collecting wild flowers to give my mom. I'm also pretty sure I've given Jason roses before, but I'm not entirely positive. I want to give Girt some someday, even though he's said he thinks flowers are kinda a dumb gift, since they're just dying plants and all but honestly, I feel like if someone he loves like me actually gifted him flowers that he'd probably be really touched and cherish them.
Are there any lamps on in the room that you’re currently in? Yes, I have a guitar lamp in this room that's always on because I like its warm, orange glow.
Is there a place that you will never return back to? I've made it a point that I simply will fucking not EVER go back to the local mental hospital here if god absolutely forbid I need one again. I'll die before I do. It's literal hell and pure, rancid garbage of a facility.
Does your grass need to be cut currently? Nah, it naturally stays dead/real short this time of year.
What’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to you? A very abrupt and just overall traumatic breakup with a long-time partner I'd completely, utterly, entirely lost myself in. I had no self-autonomy; I lived for him, and suddenly he was gone, so I lived for nobody until I finally started to build myself and decide who I was in 2017. It's a journey still in progress today, because I still don't feel like I've entirely found myself and I definitely don't love myself like I should at all. I would wish the experience on absolutely, positively nobody. It changed me forever.
Would you ever want to get married? If so, why? Yes; the primary reason is I just really like the symbolism and general drive to always be and work together, but I also find it appealing for legal and financial ease when it comes to various processes.
Have you ever abused an animal? Hell fucking no.
Do you think animals are less important than humans? If so, why? Nope. They have just as much right to life and kindness as humans do, and you cannot change my mind. We came about existence and (varying degrees of) sentience the same way they did, so what the hell makes us better? And hey, at least animals don't consciously make evil decisions like we do...
Have you ever been sectioned? I am honestly STUNNED I haven't even HEARD this phrase before I just googled it, because I've been admitted to psych hospitals many times. The term "involuntary commitment" was used instead.
Are you on any medication? I'm on so many meds, and I hate it. I very much hold just how many meds I have been and also am still on as being responsible for my extreme memory problems. They're also why I have tremors in my hands. And why I have a chronically Sahara-dry mouth, like I'm supposed to carry a moistening spray for my mouth with me as instructed by my dentist because just how horribly dry my mouth is actually contributed to cavities in very difficult locations, like around the gum line and in difficult cracks.
Have you ever been homeless? Technically, yes, but I have Colleen to thank for ensuring I had some place to stay during this time. She, in her core, was not a very good person, but bad people are still capable of doing nice things. People are absolutely not merely black and white.
Have you ever had a steady job? Nope. Just three humiliating, very short-lived attempts.
Have you ever wanted to go to space? I absolutely would if it wasn't such a long, daunting journey. I feel like I would ultimately and very easily just cry if I went to and truly experienced outer space. That's the home of our very genesis, like I don't think anybody WOULDN'T cry.
Do you identify as a geek? If so, explain. Eh I guess so, I've definitely got my geeky interests and aesthetics and stuff, but I ultimately just don't care about labels and whether I fit them or not at this age.
What has been the most exciting moment of your life thus far? Markiplier acknowledging my existence lmfao
Do you have a dog that is destructive? Nah, Cookie's totally harmless.
Does your mom like to burn candles? Oh yes, she's big on Yankee candles.
Where’s the weirdest place you’ve ever slept? Zero clue. Nowhere very odd, I'm sure.
Quick! Chinese or Mexican? Mexican, I guess, but I'm not big on either.
How many significant others have you had in your WHOLE life? I only consider three TRULY significant. I uh, think. What I had with Sara was nowhere near what I felt/feel for Jason and Girt, but it was still significant to me.
When was the last time you applied chapstick? Not long ago, actually. It's been every day for like a week or two now... They're just constantly burning and the top lip has a notably red shade above it.
All the people you’ve kissed, what did their names start with? J, T, D (or "G" if you go by what I call him), and S.
What did you and your ex fight about most? Jason and I I'm pretty sure fought most about instances where games came before me. I think. This was just so long ago that our old fights barely exist in my head now. Sara and I mostly argued about RP stuff, which is so fucking stupid and is just a reminder to me of how not worth it that friendship was, we could never agree on shit, shit that wasn't even real.
Have you ever purchased condoms? I personally haven't, no.
What brand is your camera? It's a Canon EOS Rebel T6.
Do you like raisins? I absolutely hate raisins.
When did you first kiss the last person you kissed? It was the first time he visited my house after we started dating the first time. As we were hugging before he left, he like shyly mentioned he wanted to but clearly wanted my permission, which I gave him even though at this time, I was not ready. No fault of his own, he was mannerly and considerate in seeing if I was okay with it and I SAID yes, so it's my own fault. Obviously doesn't bother me nowadays though.
Have you ever gone on vacation with your boyfriend/girlfriend? No, but that'd be super nice one day.
Would you rather be able to talk to animals or be fluent in every language? Talk to animals. I feel like it would ultimately be more beneficial, like others could translate my English, speaking to animals would be a major new thing.
What was the last thing someone asked you for advice on? Uhhhh... I can't remember.
What are some things that make others cry, that don’t make you cry at all? There is honestly probably nothing. I cry very easily.
Have you ever swam in a saltwater pool? No, and I'm cool with never doing that.
List three people you’ve had crushes on. I'm only gonna list people I never dated: Sebastian, Kyle, and Alon.
How old were you when you were first head over heels in love? 16, 17.
List three people you had a hard time forgiving. Jason, Dad, Colleen.
Is there someone you are currently struggling to forgive? I don't think "struggling" is the right word, I straight-up refuse to forgive Sara for invalidating my trauma. I could possibly forgive everything else, but not that. Never that.
[TW: EATING DISORDER, SIMILAR BEHAVIORS] Have you ever tried to starve yourself in order to lose weight? Yes, but it's never gone far. I handle the feeling of hunger quite badly, especially if I am super in need of food, so I've never been able to resist all that long.
If applicable, what form of birth control do you use? I use the Tri-Sprintec birth control pills, and condoms are mandatory for me. Maybe TMI but pulling out is also not merely an option, my partner is absolutely gonna fucking do it. I'm unwilling to do anything less than those three together.
What gender do you identify as? What gender were you born as? Female for both questions.
Have you ever gotten high off a prescription medication? No.
Do you prefer tampons or pads? Honestly, I hate both. Tampons are just uncomfortable and tend to just not stay perfectly in place for me, and pads are like bloody diapers, but ultimately I use pads these days anyway. I sometimes wanna try to use the cup, but I know I wouldn't handle it well for a few reasons.
Have you ever used a tampon? Yes, I think I've used tampons for most of my menstruating life. I only recently switched back to pads.
Did your parents give you “the talk”? No, I learned about periods and sex solely from family life/sex ed classes in school during 4th and 5th grade.
Do you think you are attractive? Absolutely not.
Have you ever accidentally overdosed on a drug? Yes actually, but it just made me very tired. Mom called poison control or whatever and they let us know I'd be fine, I probably just would be sleepy.
Would you ever name a child after yourself? No, I honestly REALLY dislike parents naming their children after themselves. It comes across as so self-important and like the child's identity isn't their own. I worry if I do have kids/a son, Girt's mom is absolutely going to want a Donald III which she will absolutely, positively NOT get. I don't even like the name Donald.
Is there a guy or girl you wish things had worked out with? Not anymore!
Would you rather have a daughter or a son? I would very strongly prefer a daughter if I have children.
Have you ever written to an advice columnist? No.
If you’re female, would you feel uncomfortable having a male gynecologist? Yes, I would literally refuse a male gynecologist, like I'm sorry, but a man picking a career of examining vaginas and pretending it's not something he gets some sort of sexual satisfaction out of seems REMARKABLY unlikely to me.
Do you like Lisa Frank? Yeah, I really enjoy her aesthetic. Kinda want a Lisa Frank-ish tattoo at some point.
Were you ever hospitalized as a child? No.
Do you believe that drug addicts and alcoholics should count as people? Are you fucking kidding me with this????
Will you vote in the next presidential election? Yes.
What’s your favorite zoo animal? Meerkats! Even though my zoo no longer has them. :(
Are you allergic to your favorite animal? I wouldn't know, I've never been in contact with one.
Did you ever have to take home a fake baby in health class? No, thank fucking GOD.
Would you rather wear ivory or white on your wedding day? What color will your bridesmaids wear? Well, I most want to wear black, but if that wasn't an option, uh... idk, it would really depend on the dress. I think my bridesmaids are gonna wear orange; I want a black-and-gold themed wedding and I think orange would work okay. I think gold dresses would either be very expensive or just distracting, or both.
Have you ever taken a poetry course? No, but I absolutely would've if it was an option in school.
What would you name twin girls? I can basically promise you I would selectively abort if I got pregnant with twins even if I wanted children, BUT if I did keep both for whatever reason, I'm rather confident in Alessandra and Anneliese.
Are you named after anyone? No. Well, my middle name is frequently used as a middle name in my family, if you'd consider that as counting.
Do you want to have a bachelorette party? Idk, probably.
Would you be scared to meet God? My totally honest, rather confident opinion? Even if he existed, no. Because if he IS real, I have a negative amount of respect for him so therefore don't respect anything he'd think or feel. The idea of going to Hell is terrifying, yeah, but even that fear won't keep me from what I so firmly believe in these days.
Have you ever questioned God’s existence? Story of basically my entire life.
Is there a Kmart in your town? There once was quite close to here actually, but it's been closed for a veeeery long time now.
Do you enjoy seeing wedding and baby announcements on Facebook? Of course! Those are exciting times for people and I'm happy for them.
What would you say if you found out your last ex was in a relationship? I wouldn't say anything, idc.
Would you go back in time if you were given the chance? When it boils down to it, no. I want to keep moving forward.

September
yet another late post LMAO the joke is i actually managed to remember i have to post something during the passing of September but i kinda procrastinated. also for real this time i had things to do and quite lots of stuffs going on (maybe, i'll pass on the judgement to you guys)
so, as usual: hello how are you? hoping everything's well, everyone's doing good and healthy, and living life most importantly! here's a September recap, finally served at October 6th lol
not long after i posted my August log, my dad made an impulsive decision (he's just like me fr (or am i like him?)) to bring the fam to Bali! the timing was perfect, he had a work call and seminars for a week, and it was held during his birthday week. why not go for a staycation when the office's paying for accommodation (god bless Central Bank of Indonesia) and flight tickets weren't that pricey?
can you really believe my dad made that decision only a day before his supposed flight? you can imagine the chaos especially having to pack out suitcases and then me and my sister had to use our annual leave days since we're both working adults now (how time flies) but thankfully we made it to Bali safe and sound.
it wasn't our first time visiting Bali, so we didn't go tourist mode and just kinda went to restaurants we haven't tried. we celebrated my dad's birthday by going to family favorite seafood restaurant at Jimbaran beach, trying some of the finest cuisines. we (actually more me lol) didn't waste any food the hotel sent us, i love to try everything that is on the menu, i call myself something like a hotel and wedding menu connoisseur hehehe. all we did was eat to be honest, our family is so heavily leaning on the culinary side of the trip, all of us gained weight even just after spending a week there, ha!
the highlight of the journey is actually me meeting my internet friends!!! two Balinese dentists i became friends with through EXO-L stan twitter and they were our tour guide for a day. i'm all about mountains and beaches and nature so they directed us to Kintamani, Badung, Panglipuran which is where the highlands are at the island. we had lunch, went to a cultural village, talked for hours as we drove around the island (Kuta is in the southern part, while the places we visited are literally strewn all over the other side of the island lol) my mum bought us three sterling silver rings with frangipani ornament, it's like a Hippocratic graduation gift and also friendship rings for us... it's a day like no other. we were so happy!
the whole week during sunset i just watched the shoreline and the faraway horizon... the sound of the waves was so relaxing and peaceful i kinda got reminded that's the reason (and the only reason, as a thalassophobic person) i love the sea. we stayed at Sheraton Kuta, which is located at the sunset road, directly on the outskirts of Kuta beach, so all these ethereal views i get to witness just by looking out of our room. i almost didn't want to go back.
OH AND the superstar of the journey is all of us went to Lovina beach to see the dolphins! not gonna lie i genuinely think this tourist activity is actually animaI abuse since it's literally speed motorboats, loads of them, circling the natural habitat of these dolphins... all those noise pollutions and breaking into their environment... just to see a few dolphins swam up to the surface for thirty seconds. i just hope this doesn't harm them to the point of irreparable damage 😭 but overall, driving from Kuta to Buleleng at 2 AM was worth it, we got to see breathtaking sunrise from the middle of the sea with mountains at the background. that's more my scene than the beach clubs that Bali is always so popular for.
then after a blissful week at Bali, i had to go back to work [sighs] seeing patients, prepared legal documents, supervise another house renovation, housekeeping, blah blah blah. same old, yet still giving me the anxiety downer every single time. to no one's surprise the weight gain i had from the Bali trip was gone in a flash lol not to mention i'm doing clean eating now, as per my dermatovenerologist advised me to do. that means bye bye Indomie, french fries dipped in McFlurry, takeouts... but well, for my wellbeing, gotta do what i gotta do, right? [insert me rattling the chains of my cage]
it's October already and wow. how time flies x2. i can't believe x2. it's like if you take a second to really see things, day to day life is so minuscule compared to the years we've lived, we've passed. a second is a second but there are moments where it can either be stretched out so long or just burst up in flames as it rolled. no matter how much i've planned or projected one or five years forward, i really don't know what's going to happen. kinda scary, uncertainty is always like that, but is it weird i start to enjoy it a little bit?
it's giving me the chance to truly live in the moment, carpe diem and seize the day thingies starting to make sense to me. it's charging on to whatever the day brings us with whatever we have on hand. this helps soothe my worrying habit, as i keep the only worry what we have to worry for the day mantra. it made me less scared yet more precise in decision making. i'm able to identify my impulsive and intrusive thoughts apart, and how to handle them. next month i'll be a quarter a century old, but i'm not sure how many days i can say i've truly lived in. hoping i can get enough to tell stories to my kids (and grandkids) later (ha.)
and that's it for September! did i have lots going on? maybe not much... but again, i'm all for boring days, remember? that's my comfort zone. fingers crossed for immersing ourselves in every second we live, with no regret and overflowing with what we need! see you guys soon :)
