So I know this isn't anything that like actually needs an apology but it'll make me feel a bit better to say it. Oof whoops this ABoT chapter is super late. Timing kinda sucks since I wanted to have some updates out while s3 was airing but
Been kinda mega busy and stressed since October with the whole condo buying thing which rolled right into immediate day 0 plumbing and boiler issues I had to get fixed and general moving hassle and financial commitment stress and I kinda just fried myself hard. Plus then acclimating to a new place without my familiar street or familiar grocery store or familiar room or any of that. Like there's no "just go home and take your mind off it" to this cuz home is the "it". So I'm just kinda enduring until I can calm the hell down.
And anyway I definitely have progress on ch47, like 7000-ish words of it, but it's the kind of like "there is writing there" and hasn't exactly hit the "there is substance there" that I want ABoT chapters to be. Like this in particular is a chapter I want to be good, not just be done. So it's taking time to get my brain somewhere that can do that.

This isn’t Johnny discourse but it is kind of discourse about the discourse about him balding (which he isn’t).
What would it matter if he took off his hat and he was a shining beacon?? The dude canonically fucks (well not canon-canon but I feel like there’s implications of fucks-ing)!! At the most, he would be a Pitbull reference and that would be cool because good for Daisuke. Listen to Timber by Ke$ha (feat. Pitbull).
It kind of felt like they were making jokes at the expense of people loosing hair. It’s like that thing where you shouldn’t make fun of people for ‘X’ because then your friends who ‘X’ will know you think that about them.
John E is cool. I think he’s lame but he’s cool.

Idk anything about Pitbull, to be honest, but my GOD does he look like he's having the time of his life in the Timber video hahah Been a while since I heard that song...
Anyway, Johnny totally fucks. There's no way a man that toned, running around shirtless all of the time, with that slight yeehaw accent, couldn't find someone DTF with the tiniest bit of effort. He's absolutely gettin it rofl He could still get it if he was bald too, or receding.
I've complained about it on here a bit already, but yeah I don't think people making fun of Johnny because they think he's losing hair realize that a lot of people in real life are going to lose their hair as they age, and their jokes at Johnny are also jokes at these people. It's not even just an issue cis men can have either, everyone's hair thins with age, some just more (and sooner) than others. To make fun of someone, fictional or otherwise, for losing their hair is digging a trench to fill with future self loathing at one's own hair loss. And hair loss in >2023 isn't even that bad anymore!! There are so many ways to manage and style it now.
Johnny's a babe. Big fan of his "dad trying too hard to be cool but is actually somehow still really cool despite that" energy

What was your thesis about?
I don't really talk about it because it's both a niche enough topic (in our country) and field that I'm paranoid somebody will identify me based on my previous pursuits, no matter how unlikely.

the pixielocks video i was watching: my friends were so kind, they made me feel safe when i was panicking and said i didn't have to do the thing with them even though that meant they had to do it by themselves
me, who's friend repeatedly asked me to do a thing with/for them when i was actively having a full month of Real Bad panic, anxiety so bad i couldn't move for hours at a time, could barely get out of bed to eat once a day, was having health flares, was so so terrified of leaving the house for many reasons but one was monkeypox bc my eczema kept giving me palm size rashes with scabs bc the skin was splitting open everywhere, and that would've made it much easier to get monkeypox, ALSO the thing involved her family who chronically doesn't wear masks, and that friend after asking me to do the thing AGAIN and i communicated all the above, made it about herself and then afterwards STILL asked me AGAIN to do thing and added "we can get boba🥺" and when i said "um. i am still scared to leave the house and also very mentally and physically flaring up plus i don't wanna get sick like i said" she said. and i quote. "well the boba was more for me": is that??? how friends are supposed to be???

Tip I’ve learned firsthand for anyone out there that struggles with drinking water, especially trainers. If you have issues with drinking soda or other caffeine related drinks and not water, get a water bottle and keep it constantly filled with water. You can even have another drink with it, just think of it as Drink Storage. Put a tea bag in there if you want. Genuinely helps so much and I wish I did it when I was a trainer.
