Absolutely infuriating that Etsy drove away service dog gear makers because they can’t prove that the gear is going to an actual service dog, but are absolutely fine hosting service dog-style vests and patches as long as they’re for ESAs.

I feel like the main reason I'm still doing TO shit is that I wouldn't have much of a sense of purpose or routine otherwise, but like honestly more often than not it's not really rewarding at all and I'm typically totally checked out after an hour. so like there's probably a good argument that I should just bounce but I would go insane if I wasn't able to trick myself into not feeling like a neet for one night a week
it really can't be overstated how much ESA turning me down and then subsequently imploding has taken the wind out of my sails with this stuff, and beyond that I perpetually feel like an outsider within the community. I don't need to be besties with people but some level of recognition that I exist and put time into these things would be nice. like it's petty as hell but it always feels really bad that none of the players ever even think to ping me when they have a technical issue or something. idk what proportion of it is just not being on twitter vs. not being very assertive vs. being a weird faggot lurking around the scene, but it's really depressing.

if i had the time or brain juice i would write a series of one shots set in a modern day au for hsr where by some circumstances bronya ends up in serval's care
like serval and cocolia are exes who had a bitter break up after college or something but cocolia still put serval as bronya's godmother or something so when cocolia dies (under mysterious circumstances) a teenage bronya shows up at serval's door
it would include bronya learning more unsavory sides of her mother from serval's left over bitter feelings (that she tries to hide but fails) and trying find a reason behind cocolia's death and bronya also coming to terms with the fact that her mother had a past gf
also bronya dealing with going from some kind of rich private school in a high class city to a middle/lower-middle class public school in a less-to-do city where she naturally meets the punky loud girl seele who she decides is Bad but secretly starts to crush on her, so there's that to deal with too
other main ships would be gepard/sampo (gepard is a police chief who is always chasing petty thief sampo, who flirts with him all the time which gives geppie Weird Feelings that he shuts away in a box), lynx/pela (college freshies who are bffs but big sis serval can see pela's crush a mile away when they come visit for spring break; they're also roommates), and serval/natasha (an almost blooming relationship between serval and a clinic doctor she meets by chance; there's subtle flirting but neither are sure they're fit for a relationship due to work or past experiences)
and on the side is platonic foster parents himeko and welt who take care of march (a sweet girl who came to them a few years ago with no memories of where she came from) and dan heng (a mysterious boy who showed up recently and they figured needed a home) but there's also stelle (who march brought home like a wet stray dog one day) but she has a "family" (her adoptive mom kafka, who is very enigmatic and ends up having a strange rivalry like relationship with himeko)
idk how silver wolf, blade, and any of the other characters would fit in tbh but this idea keeps haunting me
maybe i'll write someone for it in the distant future when i have a fully working laptop lmao

AHSJSJ in reference to https://at.tumblr.com/weaselishmcdiesel/idk-if-youre-being-serious-in-the-tags-but-if-you/b7me6xnnx57f (i was the anon in question)
its definitely less “official” than proper therapist, but the letter of recommendation for an emotional supper pet you get is in fact from a Real Certified Therapist (at least mine was, i checked), and it carries no indication of being provided through the website, so i doubt people would be like “oh this isn’t legitimate”
in general is it cutting corners? certainly, but it is a good option if you dont have access to/funds for a proper diagnosis, and if you genuinely think an emotional support animal would make your life better, its worth researching. i dont know if i’d call it “fake” per say, but it is for sure easier to fake than yknow a proper diagnosis, so i see why this would be an issue nonetheless. two sides to everything etc etc
(if youre curious to know more or see my letter i’m happy to send it through dms or whatever)
oo, erm, please take the rest of my response in the context that i really have, maybe a collective of 3 hours worth of research on this topic as i was originally planning not to use an ESA site at all, and im not aware of the specifics of any experience using official, medical, therapy options.
im really glad that everything went smoothly for you, and i hope that more people can have access to treatment just as easily and with just as much documentation to prove it.
But the conduct surrounding the treatment of mental health is unfairly complicated so it's not unwise to be picky about which route one takes to receive the documentation and care they require. ideally, no one would have to worry if the letter they acquired IS legitimate and they could collect the proper benefits. unfortunately, i dont know if my school cares about my mental health more than their precious building so much so that they would dig around and find some critical loophole to keep my pet out
the research i DID do uncovered reviews stating that people had their pettable letters denied and in some cases there was fine print that prevented them from getting refunded. the question at the end of the day is do i trust the ESA site to give me valid documentation MORE than i trust my school to be OVERLY, even MALICIOUSLY nitpicky about the legitimacy of my paperwork.
and, i personally would have to be cautious since it's more than a simple drive my cat would have to endure but a plane ride too, and another one back if he's suddenly denied an ESA position, so i can't risk the letter having even one pitfall. i do hope you understand everyone's apprehension ^^ I will continue doing my research and hope that in the end i dont give my school one more reason to be even more strict with ESA especially for people who need them more than me (because there are, probably, people who poorly fake the papers and then make it harder for the rest of us as the other user is calling attention to)
