Clone is weirder to me because being autistic means I already feel like a robot
Like a common joke in our house is that I wouldn't pass the Turing Test
Finding out I'm a clone - why? I'm chronically I'll and disabled. What kind of science experiment am I?
Finding out I'm a robot - that kinda makes sense. Can I run Doom? Also I apparently need better maintenance.

As someone who has and does struggle with social interaction
I get where this is coming from and to an extent you are not wrong but also...no not quite
When I was 13 I hit my very few friends when I was angry
I trained myself out of it because I didn't want to lose my friends
This was something I did need to change about how I interacted with people
When I was in my early 20s and in a disagreement with my husband I would threaten to kill myself
He told me that it was cruel and manipulative for me to do that, which it was.
So I came up with a plan and trained myself out of doing that because I wanted to keep my relationship with my husband
I needed to make a change in how I interacted
No I don't need to change how passionate or weird I am necessarily
But if something I am doing in how I interact with people causes the other person real harm then it's my responsibility to address it and change. It's not reasonable to expect people to stick around if I am causing them harm
Now I know OP probably didn't mean things like hitting and emotional manipulation but there are people who read these and say shit like "my emotions are valid so it's okay if I do whatever I want and the other person just has to take it" so I'm writing this for them
We live in a society. We need to adapt to the people around us enough to not cause them real harm and we should be open to their foibles and quirks and imperfections too
Any relationship with another person is going to grow and change over the years and you're going to change in reaction to each other and that's not necessarily a bad thing
you shouldn't need to change anything about the way you interact! the right people will love you exactly as you are!!

Is there some reason why God is against me personally getting dicked down good?
And how do I punish him for it?

Tomorrow is the first day of spring break for kiddo and the rule in the house is no one is to wake them up. They will wake up when they are damn well ready. If it is 4pm when they wake up so fucking be it
After that we'll start poking them around noon but tomorrow? Tomorrow is "Let the Teenager Sleep" day

I'd like to introduce everyone to this horrid thing I created about a year ago but haven't shown many people yet (probably for the best).
Tumblr media
This is Baby. AKA The Monster. AKA Sight Tremendous and Abhorred, AKA Vile Insect, AKA A Thing Such As Even Dante Could Not Have Conceived, etc, etc. It's made from bits of scrap fabric I scrounged from various sources and is roughly the size of a human toddler. Its design is based on Mary Shelly's original descriptions of Frankenstein's creature.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But that's not all! Behold!
Tumblr media
You can dissect this little abomination to reveal a full set of crocheted, knitted, and scrap fabric organs, all hand-stitched by yours truly!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It has a heart, stomach, lungs, liver, small and large intestine, kidneys, bladder, and, of course, a brain! So it can ponder the horrors of its own existence!
Tumblr media
I used this pattern by Less Than Three for the heart. I ended up felting it because I screwed up most of the stitches (I was relatively new to crochet at the time). The result was a bit of a blobby mess, but oh well.
So yeah. This thing lives in my house now (my family hates it). I have yet to reap the full consequences of my hubris.

He's statistically above average but he's a 9 in a field of 12s
He's 6 foot but everyone else 6 foot 5 inches at minimum and MBJ is 7foot tall
I don't care if this is canon it's how I imagine it
He's teen drama "ugly"
Also he gives off "I need to check my wallet" vibes
I think I figured out what's been bothering me about learning that canon!SQH is not short.
Canonically Shang Qinghua is handsome, average height, sleazy-vibed, has an extremely high ranking important job, and is actually pretty terrifyingly competent as a peak lord when he wants to be.
He is significantly, objectively, far more than a solid 4/10.
It's just.
It doesn't feel right, because Moshang has such Malfina/Conneticut Clark vibes.
Like, who let this guy be statistically above average? The only thing he should be above average in is being exactly 3rd happiest man in his local area.

For people's attention
Via old colleague Cheryl Morgan: this warning.
(For reasons unclear to me, I seem unable to simply use the Tumblr link-to-post option here. So, please see below for the meat of Cheryl's message:)
One of the things that has protected trans rights in the UK over the past couple of years is that the Tories are too busy, and too cowardly, to actually repeal the Gender Recognition Act, even though many of their MPs very much want to get that done. The anti-trans lobby is unhappy about this, and is therefore taking matters into its own hands by taking legal action. Very soon, their case will reach the Supreme Court. Should they win, the consequences for trans people in the UK (and equality law more generally) will be catastrophic. The Gender Recognition Act says, unambiguously:
Where a full gender recognition certificate is issued to a person, the person’s gender becomes for all purposes the acquired gender (so that, if the acquired gender is the male gender, the person’s sex becomes that of a man and, if it is the female gender, the person’s sex becomes that of a woman).
However, as I understand it, the argument that will be put before the Supreme Court is that allowing a trans woman to be treated as a woman is, de facto, discrimination against cisgender women, and therefore illegal under the Equality Act. As the Equality Act is a more recent piece of legislation, its provisions should supercede those of the GRA. Hopefully it is obvious that, should this claim succeed, it will open the doors to equivalent claims such as, “letting Black people into my whites-only pub is discrimination against white people,” and “building a wheelchair ramp is discrimination against able-bodied people.” Thankfully such claims are less likely to pass the Supreme Court. But the chances of this getting through are very high. And if it does, not only will the GRA be rendered useless, it will create a climate of fear in businesses all around the country. Because it will be possible for a business (or school, local authority, etc.) to be sued for discrimination if they inadvertently allow a trans woman to be treated as a woman. This will lead to a lot of proactive bans being issued at places like public toilets, gyms, clothing stores and so on. Most of the people caught by this will be gender-nonconforming cisgender women, because despite what the anti-trans lobby claims, they can’t always tell, and neither can anyone else.
...And once you've been stopped going into a women's room because you don't look (pretty) woman enough... well.
Another writer has been funding the less humane side of this argument. The people funding the non-humane side are short of funds to assist them making the less toxic side of the case.
Please help if you can.

Me: I am being a good parent despite feeling frayed to the bone
My teenager: *does something that is at mostly mildly annoying and perfectly reasonable for a tired teenager and actually is really sweet*
Me gritting my teeth: I am being a GOOD parent DESPITE feeling frayed to the bone
In all honesty I was like: "I love you but I have had a shit week and am withdrawing a bit because I don't have the energy to do socialise or be super engaged like I should be." And then I gave them a hug and apologised and said I should feel better soon and I would do my best not to be a heinous bitch at them
So they're hanging out upstairs at the moment

Me last week in my daily log:
- did task 1
- did task 2
- did task 3
- did optional extra task!
- go me!
Me this week:
- I was gentle with myself when I needed to be
- I rested my body like it needed to
- I was kind to myself
- I did what I needed to to keep myself safe
- go me :)
My study schedule was kinda thrown by a very serious mental breakdown on Monday and my uterus deciding to remind me that it also hates me on Thursday
In between those events I also had to deal with the crushing weight of bureaucracy and the despair of knowing for certain that almost nothing can ever be done to reduce my pain
...so things could be better....
Honestly I'll get through this but this fucking week can kiss my ass

What I feel is the essentials of SVSSS Luo Binghe and Mobei Jun's dynamic
Luo Binghe brooding: I don't need friends. I just need Shizun.
Mobei Jun standing behind him: but I'm your friend?
Luo Binghe: Shut up Mobei. It's fine that everyone hates me as long as Shizun doesn't
Mobei Jun: but I don't hate you? You're kinda funny but not as funny as Qinghua.
Luo Binghe with his head in his hands: stop saying words please
