#the strain rant

[ipledgeawaymysanity]

Imagine you fall in love with a god. His eyes always peer at you through your son and for his safety you give up everything. EVERYTHING. your dreams. your safety. your relationship. your potential. your love. you tolerate a horrid HORRID man and his addiction and his abuse and the pain...for him...your son. the one who smiles like the sun and has the eyes of the ocean.

AND THEN everything you have kept him away from, comes rushing for him at the bloody doorstep and not only do you have to let him go to his father's world, you also have to leave him not knowing if he'd actually stay safe...

THIS is why i loved that detail in the books that Sally was against sending Percy to camp...because she had given up everything for him. Despite all her strength and motherly love you have to admit there was also a co-dependency between them. Only she could keep Percy safe and Percy could only trust her because he was a 'problematic child'. They loved each other but it was bound by desperation too...

While the show could not express it in the detailed way the books did I still love how that tension was so palpable. Especially when she was struggling and stood in the rain listening to music...because not only does the water soothe... it hides away the tears too.

#im not staying this is a strained relationship...because it is not #but also...had percy not found a home when he did #had sally not had her space when she needed it #they would not have grown into their potentials and fates #they grew when they were away from each other tied by love #not together tied by desperation and fear #sally jackson #pjo #percy jackson #pjo show #im so sorry for the rant...but not really?? hehe #annabeth chase #percabeth #grover underwood

No offence to writers who uses the very, very, small fonts/writing style on Tumblr but y'all have me like:

#cod z rants #Like I want to see the fic I'm reading- #Straining my eyes to see if the pp went into the v #Let me read smut without looking like I'm about to sneeze

I’ve never been so obsessed with a character so bad that I literally can’t do anything else I’m like the squidward meme watching SpongeBob frolic outside the window stretching a hand out to all the pretty paintings and animations and comics I see in my head but being unable to feel any motivation for it . If only i could use the energy spent to create 20 kon doodles to sit down and concentrate on a single finished full piece I used to be able to make like 5 page comics what happened to me

#sighs yes before anyone says anything IK it’s probably adhd related 😭 #BUT ITS GOTTEN SO BAD I CAN FEEL THE DIFFERENCE IN MY BRAIN HOW DID IT GET WORSE #it’s probably a mix of burnout too but I don’t get tired of drawing ? #it feels like when u get dizzy or change glasses or so #and it’s either everything is wayyy too in focus and you can see literally everything clearly that it hurts ur brain #which doesn’t help given how saturated w information the world is always #and simultaneously somehow everything is blurry or out of focus and I physically have to strain myself to hone in on one thing #I JUST WANNA READ COMICS AND FINISH A DRAWING AND HANDLE WORK AND SCHOOL AND TALK TO MY FRIENDS #ALL IN OME DAY #BUT MY BRAIN IS LIKE. TODAY IS ONLY FOR COMICS. YOU CANT DO ANYTHING ESLE #😫🫶 I’m deleting this later I’m just ranting LMAO #I’m highschool it’s crazy bc I did okay and then honestly i just think my ability to concentrate has deteriorated as the years have gone by #free me!!! #either way I want to lessen my social media and just pick One bc girl I have an Instagram a tumblr and a twitter this is horrible for me . #honestly I’ll probably pick instagram and just post on tumblr when I have art #I already do that #I mean when I have Good art. #IM RAMBLING IDK

ok lemme talk about somethin real quick

The way the ibuprofen tablet I take has this imprint on the pill’ says “1-2” on it. Now why would I comply to that. bitch you know damn well im not taking 1-2. I’m a 3-4 girl at least and will continue to be that girl forever as I am in an amount of pain in which 1-2 pills will not adequately do shit for. Like all the time lmao.

Something that really unsettled me about it is this- how can you assume that any dosage is the right one for everyone.. to the point of literally imprinting it on the pill? Meds affect people differently and to generalize a single dosage like that feels dangerous to me. That’s kind of basic fucking common knowledge…especially for those who work in these fields and distribute these medications

#signed your local Ibuprophet #rant incoming: #actually this post essentially is a rant so.. rant continued: #the fda is lacking #1-2 doesn’t work bitch!! not when you’re me lol #yes I know it’s imprinted to avoid cases of overdose or damage to the body from someone taking too many but still.. #ibuprofen #OTC #OTC pain meds #pain meds #Forever of course meaning until I spontaneously combust immediately after taking ibuprofen for the 31st day in a row #NSAIDs #over the counter #medications #medical #chronic pain #body pain #advil #Motrin #what y’all want us to do? #genuine question.. what happens to the people-of whom there are TONS- that have chronic pain which lasts obviously for more than a month? #Like k been a month of ibuprofen better go buy some heroin #girl… (girl means pharma I suppose in this context hagsgsgsgs) #girl you try having the body pain weakness atrophy strains aches and pains of an 86 year old in a 25 year old body #Then try to tell me to take 1-2.

wattpad is so crazy because users will leave comments expressing nothing but pure disdain and anger for whatever reason (y/n’s characterization, the decision to include original characters, temporary ships and subplots, etc)…like at a certain point i start to wonder if they realize that no one is forcing them to read anything 😭

#this is mostly about endure actually #that story got way too popular considering how inexperienced i was when i wrote it #it haunts me #but also it was never meant to be read by anyone but my best friend so a lot of things are just random or silly in it for no reason #‘they had makeup remover back then??’ #idk but mikasa s1-2 was swinging around in that nyx butter gloss shade 05 crème brulee so shit they sure must’ve!! #also sorry y/n at the ripe age of nine wasn’t down to commit murder w the besties 💔 #and that she had a crush on reiner…CRIME PUNISHABLE BY DEATH. #(literally) #there’s several wonderful people on wattpad and i’ve met some of my fav mutuals on there #but the user base overall is the reason i stopped posting on it #anyways sorry for the rant but long story short #i am by no means a perfect author but like. i’m going to write what i write and you can either choose to read it or click away #but there is no need for you put either of us through the strain that comes from leaving comments complaining abt what i choose to write :) #m’s thoughts

To be fair kidnapping Chay wasn't Vegas's fucking plan, Tawan is just insane. Agreed though I think Kim and Porsche are decent in-laws

I know it was left a little vague, but in canon, Tawan went off Vegas’s plan by accelerating it.

Vegas and Porsche make a plan to pick up Chay the next day so he can join the two of them on the run. while that itself wouldn’t be kidnapping, Vegas’s entire plan was to. y’know. frame Porsche as a sell-out and kill him and Chay to cover it up. kidnapping Chay and holding him hostage is still part of that plan, it was still going to happen—Tawan ruined it by kidnapping Chay before Vegas could.

also, even if it wasn’t, Tawan kidnapping Chay in the first place was to help Vegas. this doesn’t necessarily put that blame directly on Vegas, but who the fuck would blame Porsche if he were really fucking pissed at Vegas for it anyways? bros don’t kidnap other bros little brothers, not even tangentially >:(

but Porsche doesn’t hold it against Vegas! he might’ve let it go because of unusual circumstances and how he was short of options at the time, but Porsche overall has astronomical reserves for forgiveness. he quietly works through his feelings when he’s upset with people and usually comes out the other end having forgiven them—see Arthee, see Kinn, see Vegas, hell even see Khun! the only person he doesn’t forgive is Korn (who killed his father, kidnapped his mother, forced him into the mafia, and fucking more) (fuck Korn). getting back to my point—Porsche doesn’t hold grudges against people, and he most certainly is going to start with Kim.

Porsche just plain isn’t going to hate Kim for any of the mafia shit, or even anything that went down in Kim and Chay’s canon relationship. they’re dumdums in love, but Porsche will let them sort it out themselves (may I remind people that Porsche only punched Vegas once for KIDNAPPING AND TORTURING HIS FRIEND even while also giving him the chance to talk shit out with Pete—Chay might be more of a hot button than Pete, but Kim only hurt Chay’s feelings and ran away, Porsche is not so irrational). sorry nonny, I did not mean to go off on a rant here, but I despise this trope where Porsche hates on Kim because it:

a) completely disregards who he is in canon and massively distorts Porsche’s character into this irrational piece of shit hypocrite

b) overrules Chay’s feelings/choices/decisions just so the author can be mean to Kim

c) Porsche’s gaydar got replaced with a nongdar. the only person who adopts more little brothers than Porsche is Tankhun—Porsche 100% sees angry little bitch Kim and goes free brother! without stopping to ask permission

#kinnporsche #i swear I’m not mad or annoyed at you anon! #i just rly rly RLY hate this trope and thinking about it makes me rant-y 😅 #anyways porsche adores kim I will beat this drum forever #and eventually write feral raccoon duo AU #EVENTUALLY #i deleted this part of the rant but the other facet I hate in this trope is that *grabs soapbox* #Chay doesn’t hate nor blame Kim for the mafia shit #but he’s absolutely pissed at EVERYONE ELSE for it #Porsche left him to join the mafia #Vegas embroils him into mafia plots #Kinn keeps Porsche in the mafia #Khun’s coping mechanisms seem callous and cruel at first glance #it’s going to take A LOT OF WORK for Chay to be okay with any of them #the only one he’s willing to forgive right away is Porsche and that’s only because he cares about Porsche more than anyone else in the world #but the mafia still puts a strain on their relationship #i have many feelings about Chay’s relationship with the mafia #maybe even as many as I have for Porsche & Kim

tbh there is something darkly comedic about the Neurodivergence Discourse that's like ... all symptoms of neurodivergence are a) perfectly common things that most everyone experiences at the same level of severity or b) too niche and annoying to accommodate into Internet philosophizing exist at all, there's no condition that ever causes [widely acknowledged diagnostic criterion].

#it honestly feels like this strain of the discourse starts at its conclusions and any evidence of anything will be contorted to fit it #which yes is poor reasoning and deeply annoying #but the total inconsistency /is/ weirdly funny at times #anghraine babbles #anghraine rants #rare breed of attack unicorn

Can't even mention that a store near me is clearly using abusing the TFW program because they refuse to pay little more than minimum wage in a high cost of living area (also you won't get benefits and you'll only be part-time) because the fascists and right-wingers will jump in to say it's about immigration and white replacement.

No, it's because rich white people want to hoard even more money and found an intentional loophole to both make more money (via paying employees less) and also have more power over employees, employees who may or may not know Canadian employment laws (or safety laws) and even if they do, don't have the ability or support to try to hold the company accountable.

You can absolutely criticize the federal government for keeping the loophole open but it predates Trudeau by decades and it was Harper who both expanded the program and added a way for companies to fast-track TFWs. It was also under Harper that companies started firing Canadians (or not hiring them) and then requesting permission to mass-hire TFWs instead.

But the way the right wing talks, you would think Trudeau started this whole thing and the poor multi-million and multi-billion dollar companies are being taken advantage of. Also that housing prices, lack of new developments, and zoning issues started with Trudeau and are the fault of mass-immigration he has a boner for instead of being an issue for decades and experts warning this would happen if governments didn't act ASAP.

Instead the neolibs and cons kept cutting back and kicking that can down the road, a can that started being kicked by Mulroney and the Conservative Party.

#as a 90s kid i grew up with warnings about healthcare and housing and how we needed mass immigration or a massive baby boom #because of the utter lack of federal support and an aging workforce #the systems were already being strained to their limits and there literally weren't enough millennials to replace retiring workers #*or* bring in enough taxes to fund said systems when the system needed it the most #not even increase funding just keeping the same funding that was already not enough #also the right conveniently ignores (or doesn't know about) the extremely predatory recruitment industry #that targets people overseas while lying and charging large amounts of money to bring tfws to canada #you could even blame chretien for expanding it to include 'low-skilled' workers which is what companies are abusing it for #hell even trudeau sr for creating it in the first place even though it was originally made for high-skilled or niche jobs #but no the blame is always trudeau jr with a ton of racism and brownnosing capitalists #because all these problems sprang up suddenly under him #and in no way did harper start/expand/not end/be complicit in any of this /s #though i guess for some of the fascists it seems that way 'cause they weren't personally affected by it until now #and companies have stopped trying to pretend they aren't grabbing as much money as possible because fuck anyone else #even though it's been like that for decades and capitalism itself encourages companies to skim money off the top #while not having the checks and balances to limit just how much #for that you need governments to regulate things and that doesn't work when you have leaders who are anti-regulation #and who believe in trickle down economics #just... the whole thing is not happening in a bubble and involves multiple people and both the neolibs and cons #because it's been building for decades #but you can't bloody say that because the moment you mention housing/jobs/healthcare and/or tfws #you get inundated by fascists who think you're one of them and hit you with some of the most unhinged shit #or who don't even care about you and just want someone to rant at about how it's the evil left's fault for everything #hell you can't even say you don't like trudeau because same thing: fascists think you're one of them or someone to bring into the cult

Hot take but instead of CGI, anime should go back to more retro style animation, like we should totally bring back bold, dynamic animation and imitation cel-shading and bold outlines and rich details and unique designs because that’s what the modern anime scene needs more of and I just know that retro style animation would look absolutely amazing with modern technology

#my brainpoops #truth be told I’m having a little too much fun using retro style flourishes in my art lately and it’s making me think things #well I suppose a big part to play in the rise of cgi and the decline in 2D animation has to do with overproduction being a big problem #especially with the whole thing with seasonal anime and increasing demand for content #anime has become more of a product than anything and because of that shift in attitudes from the audience and major studios in accordance #the focus has shifted from crafting a work with effort and passion #to creating a product to be consumed #and that consumption and the desire to consume puts more strain on studios to keep up and continue making anime #you only have to look at not only the decline in overall visual quality in a lot of modern anime nowadays #as well as animators actively coming out and voicing their struggles #to see that #as well as the matter of homogeny and overall same-ness #with more deeper and more unique stories either becoming sleeper hits or being swept under the rug in favour of more mainstream fare #look it’s just my personal feelings/opinions #let’s just say it was the golden age of anime for a reason #and I don’t think we’ll ever hit that peak again #okay rant over #but I guess the same could be said for a lot of modern media too #90s anime

Day 6 of being sick. I have lost the ability to speak like a normal human being

#I fucked up my vocal cords because of work #my throat was hurting but I had to keep talking because we were so busy I had to be on register my entire shifts #and I ended up losing my voice #its not gone completely but its very strained #its also super uncomfortable to talk. if I talk too long my throat gets dry and I burst into a coughing fit #google said that can happen in the middle of a cold sometimes especially if you strain yourself which I did #and without medical I can't go see a doctor to get it treated so I have to work on it on my own #I have to try and not talk for the next couple of days but its difficult when people want/expect a verbal response #even if they're aware that I shouldn't be talking #sam's rants about life

The next time someone tells you that “Covid is gone” or some dumb bullshit remind them that flu is short for influenza, and we are still fighting a pandemic that is over 100 years old. Illnesses do not leave, we just find ways to believe that they’re gone.

#woosh quotes themself #mini rant #covid19 #influenza #as someone who has both gotten Covid and now has the flu I want people who have had neither to shut up #yeah it’s 2am. I can’t sleep because MY LUNGS ARE FULL OF GOO #literally fuck everyone who thinks Covid is gone #fuck everyone who thinks the flu is a little virus. ESPECIALLY this year where the strain is so bad it’s killing healthy adults #just. god

1) Biblically Accurate Bloom

Finally the top part of her wing has achieved freedom. Tbh I'm gonna to have to add three tier wings into one of the transformations. This fucks severely. If Daphne didn't have me so set on Nymphhood not having wings, therefore Harmonix having small wings, it would go there but c'est la vie. They'll have to go into the wind or the Stella-y transformation

2) Lovey Flora

She looks really pretty and cute. This makes me wish they weren't so on the nose with everyone's symbols, bc Flora with the hearts looks so beautiful

3) Basic Tenca

Just adding a bottom wing subtracts from her weird girl energy by half. This is horrible, take it away immediately

4) Eye Strain Flora

FUCKIN OW

Never mind I couldn't sleep again and instead spent that time searching bout what tf is this stabbing pain I feel at my left back side that spreads to my chest and after combing through several google searches of "You are gonna die" I have concluded that it's a pulled muscle ouuuooughhghg....

#aria rants #and now that ive sat up i manage to identify the position more as being my upper abdomen #and honestly a pulled or strain muscle fits cuz i only got this pain after starting to exercise so like-- fair #gotta exercise more slowly ig. no more exercising for me the rest of this week
