tomorrow I bet I will see the meme that I see every year and this year I don't necessarily finally understand it but I remember it at least so if I see it I'll be like "oh I actually know what that is this time"

Something I really loved in Dungeon Meshi is the amount of research put into the monster biology with parallels to real-world biology, and i have to point this out in regards to the kraken.
Of course, many people consider squid to be delicious (I am one of them), but not all squids are the same. In the dungeon, it turned out, that of all the monsters they could find to eat, the kraken, theorized to be one of the tastier monsters out there, turned out to taste...absolutely awful.
As it turns out, giant squids in real life, well...
So there you have it. Kraken really DOES taste awful. Well-researched!

It's being angry at Book Curtain time again! Today it's about the fact that SQ's boots have gaps in the toes in TPD. Curtain has enough time to purchase Fake Ambulance Supplies and enough money to pay the Ten Men to purchase a bottle of $300 cologne a day what do you MEAN he can't spare $20 and 30 minutes to take SQ to Goodwill.

I've always had chronic fatigue. I remember being twelve, and an adult mentioned how I couldn't possibly know how tired they felt because adulthood brought levels of exhaustion I couldn't imagine. I thought about that for days in fear, because I couldn't remember the last time I didn't feel tired.
Eventually I came to terms with the fact that I was just tired, and I couldn't do as many things as everyone else. People called me lazy, and I knew that wasn't true, but there's only so many times you can say "I'm tired" before people think it's an excuse. I don't blame them. When a teenager does 20 hours of extracurriculars every week and only says "I'm too tired" when you ask them to do the dishes, it's natural to think it's an excuse. At some point, I started to think the same thing.
It didn't matter that I could barely sit up. It was probably all in my head, and if I really wanted to, I could do it.
When I learned the name for it, chronic fatigue, I thought wow, people that have that must be miserable, because I am always tired and I cannot imagine what it would feel like if it were worse.
Spoiler alert, if you've been tired for a decade, it's probably chronic fatigue.
Once I figured that out though, I thought of my energy as the same as everyone else's, just smaller in quantity. And that might be true for some people, but I've figured out recently that it absolutely isn't true for me.
I used to be like wow I have so much energy today I can do this whole list for sure! And then I'd do the dishes and have to lay down for 2 hours. Then I'd think I must gave misjudged that, I didn't have as much energy as I thought.
But the thing is - I did have enough energy for more tasks, I just didn't go about them properly.
With chronic fatigue, your maximum energy is obviously much smaller than the average person's. Doing the dishes for you might use up the same percentage of energy that it takes to do all the daily chores for someone else.
If someone without chronic fatigue was to do all the daily chores, they would take breaks. Because otherwise, they're sprinting a marathon for no reason and it would take way more energy than necessary. We have to do the same.
Put the cups in the dishwasher, take a break. Put the bowls in, take a break. So on and so forth. This may mean taking breaks every 2-5 minutes but afterwards, you get to not feel like you've run a marathon while carrying 4 people on your back.
Today, I had a moderate amount of energy. Under my old system of go till you drop, I probably could have done most of the dishes and wiped off the counter and then been dead to the world for the rest of the day.
Under the new system, I scooped litter boxes, cleaned out the fridge, took the trash out, cleaned the stove, and wiped off the counter and did all the dishes. And after all that, I still had it in me to make a simple dinner, unload the dishwasher, and tidy the kitchen.
It was complete and utter insanity. Just because I sat down whenever I felt myself getting more tired than I already was.
All this to say, take fucking breaks. It's time to unlearn the ceaseless productivity bullshit that capitalism has shoved down our throats. Its actively counterproductive. Just sit down. Drink some water. Rest your body when it needs to rest.
There will still be days where there is nothing to do but rest, and days where half a load of dishes is absolutely the most I can do. But this method has really helped me minimize those, which is so incredibly relieving.

I still cannot get over how "average" is a common and essentially negative descriptor for Reynie
How many people passed him over in the orphanage simply because he didn't catch their eye? How many times was he left behind because a teacher forgot they were supposed to be minding him? How many days, weeks, months did it take for him to get used to the fact that his family loved him because of his traits, not in spite of them?

Just. Reynie Muldoon getting ignored as a child.
Not necessarily maliciously, but definitely a lot of the time. People looking him over when picking children for activities or stuff.
Horrifically, what if there was a family that took him home for a "trial". And they returned him like a broken toy, not really bad but definitely not good either.
Do you think he knew? Knew that it was just he didn't stand out enough? Or did he think he'd done something wrong?
I can see him being used by parents who aren't sure they want a kid yet because he's so low-maintenance; people who might want to adopt but aren't confident yet using him as a test for how their family would function with another human being and then giving him back and taking the kid they really want.
Reynie is so used to being not good enough, he's constantly used as a placeholder. Placeholder sibling to the lonely kids, placeholder parent to the younger ones, placeholder when you can't get what you want you get Reynie Muldoon, he's average enough that he'll fit any role in a pinch.
Reynie Muldoon, the kid who gets blamed for everything because he's been there the longest, the kid who is substitute whipping boy for when other kids misbehave.
Just. REYNIE MULDOON!!!
