#you get to exhale now

[poorly-drawn-mdzs]

At rest, your lungs wish to deflate, and your ribcage expands outwards.

#better drawn mdzs #mdzs #wei wuxian #yiling laozu #Happy Friday the 13th! #This is scientific fact btw! #Ventilation operates through a series of active and passive forces #The active forces being muscular contraction with inhalation and exhalation having their own set of muscles. #but the interesting part is the passive forces at work: #The lungs have a certain level of elasticity to them - meaning the more they expand the more the those elastic forces are functioning- #-to try and return the system to rest (exhalation passive forces). Your diaphragm is the main force - pushing against the lungs at rest. #Your ribcage on the other hand is under a state of being pulled outwards. It *wants* to be as open as possible. #These to contradicting forces create a constant push and pull which assists in the ebb and flow of air. Most significantly with exhalation. #Now that being said - the primary action of inhalation ventilation is through control centers in your brainstem. #If you lose connection to that due to trauma you're going to need ventilation assistance. #Small note: Respiration is the cellular event of chemical exchange in the alveoli. Ventilation is airflow and pressure. #They are both important but also very different things. Sadly used interchangeably. #My anatomy nerd brain is screaming over the inaccurate ribcage...but its...recognizable. I will get it right one day. #Okay nerd rant over (I cut out a lot of stuff about pressure gradients. They are cool. To me.) #This is a redraw of an mspaint doodle I made back in april. I yearn to make the Yiling Laozu eerie as he deserves #Tear that bitch (affectionate) apart! #Been playing around with hatching for a while and its amazing how many styles there are! Not sure I'll stick with this one (but it was fun)

A potentially unpopular Barbie opinion that I HAVE to get out of me so I can stop thinking about it

I found the line "it's impossible to be a woman" kind of condescending and unhelpful, and, at most, not the most powerful line they could used.

What Gloria really should have said (since the writers were running out of time to make the point of the movie so they gave her a monologue) was that "Barbie, every woman is supposed to be like you, and it's impossible to be you!"

Which is when Barbie should have had a moment of realization that that she has every job under the sun and has to look perfectly flawless 24/7, has to host girls night every night, and never complain about anything. There's no negativity or reality allowed, (i.e. Pregnant Barbie is shunned). Living that kind of life is actually a lot of pressure. This is evidenced by the fact that there are so many Barbies girlbossing in Barbieland, taking up more space than the Kens. She can't just be one Barbie, she has to be every kind of Barbie, thriving at absolutely everything. Ken’s job is just “beach”.

To that, Barbie should have replied, "Yeah, "It IS impossible to be me!" This would give her more reason to experience raw, "human" emotion, because to the audience, it seemed like she was just crying whenever Gloria was sad. They could have also had her say, "I'm so sorry I did this to you... I thought I was helping. I thought I was a good role model."

"You are a good role model, Barbie, and you have the chance to make things right... blah blah blah..." [insert the final part of the movie].

Basically, Ken is incomplete because he only exists to matter to one person, whereas Barbie exists to matter to everyone. I think a change to this line would have explained both their problems, as well as made Barbie more relevant to her own story. Otherwise, the story that ties a doll into the real word kinda falls apart.

#ok I can exhale now #you can let me know what you think and if the notes get annoying I will delete this #Greta sure had fun but the plot itself was slapped together with duck tape and dreams #barbie movie #text

#and i KNOWWWWWWWW noah's relieved scared speechless surprised thankful face is going to make me sob even harder go d. GODDDD #and considering how many times those two have made me cry throughout the series and how hard i cried to the jonwill scene ....... #girlies i will be a mess!!!! a MESS i tell you!!!!!!!! #they play off of each other so so sooo well i am . i am vibrating at a frequency tht can shatter glass rn jus thinking abt it #l0ve simon was not a perfect movie but jennifer garner's 'you get to exhale now simon' speech delivery fucking Killed me #i'm sensitive !!!!!!!!

sometimes I wonder how psychic damage could ever kill anyone and then I remember something I did when I was 14 and I understand

#dnd #shitpost #this post brought to you by. just remembered something I did when I was 14 and physically stopped moving to exhale and wince #and all the other times I remember things in which I have to physical do something (usually make a face/sudden movement) #to get rid of that energy #thank GOD i'm a better person now #but alas. in 5 years I'll be cringing at this version of me probably #fondly. but still cringing

hmm. had an actual conversation with nightmare coworker today that seemed mutually productive. she apologized for saying some bullshit that hurt my feelings and i clarified that my intentions are to help not to undermine her, and we both agreed that there's no competition against each other and that it's the lack of growth in our role that's the problem. it was...productive.

and further cementing for me that it is time to begin making my Exit. i will be sending out my resume to a few places this weekend.

i'm still processing the conversation, and am struggling to place myself in where i am responsible to better my behavior. because i genuinely don't want to be an ass, even though i really don't like this lady and will jump for joy the day i never have to see her again. she stated that she knows my intentions aren't to hurt her, and that she thinks i'm very kind. i apologized for if my behavior came off as undermining her, and said that my intentions are only to better my own growth—and that i know she's trying to succeed too. i validated her feelings, and complemented the effort she is putting in.

where i'm struggling with is: am i in the wrong/causing harm and needing to change if the issue is that her feelings are incongruent with what she knows of my intentions? her feelings are her responsibility (WOW i almost typed "her feelings are my responsibility". i feel like that's a freudian slip) and she states that she knows i don't mean to hurt her. i'm going to try to be more clear in wording my intentions with her (she feels like me trying to take work off her plate is to undermine her. when really, i'm caught up and see her getting overwhelmed, and i want to help and also have something to do since i'm bored).

but i'm really struggling to look at my role in this and pass judgement on myself. i can and want to do better, and i don't think i did anything wrong, but i'm always so hesitant to say it's not my fault or i didn't do something bad. like i can't trust my judgement on that. my intentions were good, her bad feelings are ones caused by her insecurities, which she more or less has expressed to be aware that they are not true—the hurtful thing she said to me, she acknowledged was said out of hurt and not what she actually thinks. so, is it fair to say i'm not the bad guy? i'm not in the wrong? i know good intentions that still result in harm don't absolve anyone, but when the things that are clashing are insufficient communication and reactive insecurities... i'm not a monster, am i?

#well. i AM probably a monster for how much i dislike this lady #but i don't ACT on it #and i genuinely couldn't care less about her. i participate in decent human pleasantries because i am a decent human. #and at work we're stuck together #the thing that's irked me so much about this conversation is just.. her self centeredness #that she thinks everyone is out to get her. to undermine her. whatever. #bitch nobody cares about you enough one way or the other to put in that kind of effort. i sure don't #i empathize but i do not sympathize. to feel that pit that makes you feel like the worst kind of center of attention #i get it. but genuinely you are not the main character and no one is going to spend their limited time and energy to slowly attack you #you are not the cat with all the knives pointed at it #it's a terrible feeling to feel like you are! but when it influences your behavior to the point that you are making snide comments #to people who have no option not to interact with you then uh. then you're in the wrong buddy #and the people around you (who cannot easily leave! bc work!) should not have to bend over backwards to assure you #that they're not pointing knives at you. to protect themselves from your feelings making you say mean shit #like yes. i can be more clear with my intentions. i'm generally not the greatest at that. but my baseline that i want to #modify my behavior from is NOT one that a regular well adjusted person would take as anything but kind #and if a regular well adjusted person got a little offput by me volunteering to take work off their hands we would've had a very chill #3 sentence conversation about it MONTHS AGO. #i understand and respect (even if i find it annoying and overbearing) the need for me to announce my intentions like im working in a kitchen #and saying 'hot water' or 'knife' as i move around other people but we shouldn't have reached this conclusion this way #and frankly who's to fucking say me being more clear with my intentions will only feed the flames of her thinking i'm out to get her! #'i caught up on my stuff and your plate looks full. i'm bored. anything i can do to help?' could be a pointed knife for all i know!! #and if it is- and my actions still hurt her in that scenario- am i still responsible for the hurt caused?? #like WHERE DOES IT FUCKING E N D ? #personal #*exhales* okay i feel better now #i just hate talking about my interactions with her bc i just want NOTHING to do with it. i want her out of my head!! #but until i process it i can't let go #and i'm still going to have to go over all of this with my shrink tomorrow #it just makes me mad how much of my time this bitch takes up. i'm not getting paid to think about work right now!!!!

i know the modern society has a habit of highlighting those who get a lot of done and have a lot of energy to do things and that it can feel overwhelming, and to be hard not to compare yourself to them.

but you are good enough even in the times when you're exhausted. you are allowed to take a break when you need one. you are good enough when you go at your own pace.

sending love to all of you today 💕

#today i'm having a tired evening #but also trying to get some rest now that i finally have some time for it <3 #i'm listening to rain sounds and cozy music right now #also deep breaths really help me slow down - inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth & both for the count of 6 #all of this is to say: if you're feeling tired and overwhelmed you are not alone <3 #lili’s rambles

'it did not go well. do not worry. i have spoken to him so he will understand—' 'so he will understand?' *laughs* 'incredible. i'm talking about you.' *pauses* 'wae? are you going to get someone to beat me up for talking down to a noblewoman like you? as usual you only think of yourself and your own pride. did you even think to care about how much pain Lee Jang Hyun is feeling? i hate that he is sad because of a woman like you. it drives me crazy that he is hurting because of a woman like you. if i were you, if i had even one sliver of Jang Hyun's heart... if that was the case...' 'why... why are you saying this?' 'you do not deserve him. you do not deserve to either receive his love or be ignored by him. you do not deserve any part of him.'

americans are sooo main character syndrome i saw this thing of some cunt living/touring in berlin like "staring back at the germans on the train" like as if it was a sick own.. they literally don't give a fuck go ahead and stare back

#like. in some places it's not rude to stare and if someone stares you can stare back #coming from a hostile country i get why you'd perceive everything as aggression but like. you can exhale now simon #it's not aggression ppl are just curious abt others

lord help me i'm about to become the patient every doctor hates and argue with my psychiatrist based on google

#listen the woman is very nice i'm glad she picked up on my polite hinting around my anxiety/possible pmdd and prescribed zoloft #but also she's so overly cautious that it's driving me fucking crazy #she made me get vitamin testing and an ecg. okay sure no harm in that #she wrote me a prescription for high-dose vitamin d supplements. fine it's actually cheaper than otc stuff #but now she's making me go to a fucking cardiologist because i have respiratory sinus arrhythmia?? #respiratory sinus arrhythmia is fucking good for you!! it means your heart is healthy and has good parasympathetic output!! #(admittedly my ecg just says 'sinus arrhythmia' and 'normal variant' so theoretically it COULD be a different type of sinus arrhythmia) #(but like. it's fucking not. i don't have heart disease and i've never had a head injury or taken digoxin #and also i can literally feel my heart rate change when i inhale and exhale and i've been aware of it for years) #and also!!! i cannot find a single goddamn paper that even suggests methylphenidate is unsafe in people with sinus arrhythmia!!! #also as dental students we send a lot of consult requests to cardiologists so i KNOW how much cardiologists hate doing unnecessary consults #like they are NOT nice about it they get extremely bitchy and passive-aggressive #anyway. i did make a cardiologist appointment so if she can provide me with an actual good reason for concern i'll keep it #but if not then i'm cancelling that sucker. sorry i'm not wasting my time and money just so a cardiologist can tell me #that i'm allowed to keep taking the medication that i've been taking for 7 goddamn years with no issues #personal post shut up

favourite ways so far that that tension that seems inherent to thasmin as a canon ship is being released in my post potd everybody lives au is 1) the doctor sleepwalking, and 2) the doctor having a giggle fit

#the circumstances in the second one make it even better but just #13 when shes being less self-monitoring is always when shes the most fun to watch #and to see her like that but it's purely because shes absolutely Losing It #it's just #it's so pure #like hello #i can watch this all day #like it's vulnerable it's her guard down #but it's JOY #it's beautiful #i love her #it's also just so nice to write them without the tension #i for real thought the tension was inherent to the ship and that if you resolved it that there wouldnt be one but thats not true #there is still very much a lot of interesting stuff to write in the wake of the tension being resolved #bc it gets resolved by trust right? #it gets resolved - at least in my interpretation - by yaz saving her life #and that flipping a switch for the doctor that makes her able to trust yaz fully in a way she couldnt before #so where before you'd be writing the tension of the balancing rope of trust #now you can write the rest of falling off and realising there was like. a mattress there. or someone to catch you #it's an exhale #it's like thank GOD ive been waiting for this for YEARS
