I think what I’m getting beyond annoyed at is I’ve been telling everyone that my brain has been having a harder time than normal, especially within the last three to four years with specific things but people didn’t really believe me on it. I’ve just been called lazy, unmotivated, someone who wants to stagnate when I’m literally fighting against that internally. The fights so hard that I’ve just been exhausted all the time, I started to notice a sharp decline in what I could get done what I found think of. I only started to do things that kept my mind busy, not that I enjoyed. I enjoyed the company that I had more while doing it, but I didn’t work to making that permanent and a reality. My brain just fought me on getting started so much because I was convinced I didn’t belong, I’m still partially prone to thinking I don’t belong anywhere and that I don’t have anything to offer except disappointment. It’s such a vicious fucking cycle and I just want help from a specific person but I know that is not possible too. So I just keep on telling everyone else to help and try to understand who is in my life but there’s a limit to what they can truly see me as — in terms of how I struggle and there’s also a limit to the things I can put them through with what I’m dealing with too. I don’t want to be burdening them but the nature of this disease in my brain does just that. I crave external responsibility but fight against it out of stubbornness. There is so much wrong with me that I just want to yell, I didn’t choose to be like this and noticing my symptoms more and more now is just so frustrating. I’m so sorry I put you through all this and I put you through what I’m going through,
I genuinely just wanted to keep things so simple and love you and make you happy but I feel like I make that/made that impossible too because of how I am.

Really fucked up that two ppl can care about each other and make their best efforts to communicate and still end up hurting each other so badly they cannot stand to be in the same room.
#my stuff#i feel soooo bad talking to my therapist about the same topics over multiple weeks#like i feel like they're sooo sick of it like damn can this bitch get Over It alreadyyyy#hi yes actually can we talk about the near catastrophic sense of betrayal and loss that has haunted my soul for over a month?#can we talk about how I overcompensate for other's possible feelings and emotions to desperately mask my terror at feeling out of control#can we talk about how even when I know ppl acted with logical reasons necessary for their situation it still hurt me?#and that this pain fills me up with so much anger and frustration that I'm powerless to put anywhere that won't hurt someone#so it just cooks me inside and makes me grind my teeth constantly for weeks#im so angry i did not deserve to be treated like this it's not fair and I have no capacity to fix it or control when it feels better#i just have to survive and wait until i forget about it and hope they don't decide to reach out and fuck it all up#cause i can see that happening#i'll finally be free of thinking about them and generally going about my day unbothered and they'll ask to get coffee or something#and I have no idea what I should do in that scenario. because I don't think we can be friends.#and you have not treated me with the compassion and warmth I treated you#i would want to say mean things. hurtful things. I would want to bite back for once.#and that's not me. that's not who I want to be.#i don't wanna see you. go away. don't talk to me if you're not going to make the pain go away.

Alliance, Sep, guerilla, partisan front. One of them. Isn't it all the same? It is to me. I think it's all useless. It's better to live. / I know guys like him, guys with causes. Causes that get people killed.

[attaches my izzy hands apologist pin to my vest] kind of fucked up that some find izzy Irredeemable when we have seen him do next to nothing violent or even particularly mean, whereas we know ed made fang shoot his dog and then shrugged at him while he cried about it and also, apparently, regularly forces people into autocannibalism for the smallest of transgressions. which is not hate towards ed! he is a pirate and this is typical pirate behavior, and if ed wasn't prone to violent behavior then that would make his path towards self acceptance and kindness weigh less than it does. but it does seem as if izzy has only ever been the enforcer of blackbeard-slash-ed's Rules and Regulations, and while ed seems happy to abandon all that and turn a new leaf because he fell in love, izzy is left with the harrowing memories of what he has done For Blackbeard, in blackbeard's name, and wondering what the fuck happened.
#our flag means death#izzy hands#like. imagine you are a pirate and yr captain says to you. hey. i need you to kill for me.#and i need you to stand witness to all the horrible things i will do to maintain my status and power#because that translates to (relative) safety and wages for you & all the men under you.#and i need you to enforce my rules - which means execution if necessary. and it often will be.#and you say ... okay. because he's your captain and you're loyal to him above all else.#(and how rare is that? in a culture of mutiny and dog eat dog. a captain who's worth the weight of being loyal to him.)#(a captain so respected and feared that all other ships tuck tail and run at the sight of his flag.)#so you kill for him. and sacrifice your men for him. and when he says to burn a ship full of sailors you burn that ship full of sailors#and watch to make sure there are no survivors.#& then one day ... he decides he doesn't want to do that anymore. he's not into the killing and the torturing and the#overwhelming violence that pirating often requires.#and so you're left standing there thinking. okay. but what about all the killing i did for you? did that mean nothing?#what am i supposed to do with all of this blood on my hands?#on both of our hands?#but you're not allowed to mention that. it's impolite to do so in the face of your captain's new lifestyle#full of people who have never had to bury their sense of morality in order to survive another day.#they might get squeamish. they might think poorly of him. of you.

I just. Have no words.
Make no mistake that the UN is facilitating this genocide in concert with the rest of the West. If this doesn't break the UN then nothing will. If this isn't the last straw for Arabs then nothing will be.

2024 year of charlie gets a fucking break (hopefully. maybe. tbd.)
#ctxt#i'm on medication that's reduced my post-hysterectomy pain by about 70%#i have an intake appointment with a physical therapist in march & a referral to start trigger point injections#to hopefully finally recover as completely as possible from the nightmarish neuropathy that's plagued me since uuuhhhh#going on 2 years ago. holy shit. genuinely can't believe i've been surviving & functioning as well as i have for this long#while suffering a disabling & extremely painful surgical complication. fuck my original surgeon for brushing me off during that time#but the new provider i'm working with is so responsive & thorough in her approach & seems genuinely committed#to helping me finally get relief after all this time. she listens to my feedback & is flexible in her approach#and her assistant is a great communicator who's been handling most of the logistics of care coordination for me#and what a huge fucking relief that is. to not have to drag my doctors kicking & screaming towards maybe treating me eventually#i wanna cry. i finally feel like i'm being taken seriously and cared for. and i'm not BETTER yet (might never be the same as i was pre-op)#but i actually feel optimistic for the first time in over a year that i won't just have to deal with this agonizing pain on my own forever#i might actually see enough improvement that i can start to get back to living my life instead of just surviving it#money is tighter than it's been since i got laid off during early pandemic and that's stressing me out#but i promised myself that i would put my health first in 2024 and that means only working the bare minimum needed to pay my bills for now#genuinely i so fucking needed a break. i felt like i was trying to swim through a meat grinder last year#and it wasn't until i ended up in the ER about it that i finally was able to take my own pain seriously enough#to put my foot down & make some necessary changes that are now letting me focus on Getting Well With Myself at last#in hindsight it's like. really freaking me out how thoroughly i was able to compartmentalize & dissociate from how miserable i was#bc nobody who had the ability to help me would take me seriously & my shitty boss was like. extremely textbook emotionally abusive#and on one hand that was a survival mechanism that kept me on my feet during one of the worst times of my life. so props to myself there#but it was also very maladaptive how long & unnecessarily it went on before i snapped out of it & escalated things for my own safety#it was the same helpless frustration i often felt as a kid of like 'well nobody is on my side but me so i gotta suck it up & help myself'#and i think the family trauma shit that was going on last year definitely contributed to that. idk sense of doubling across time?#and things had to get Extremely Bad before they were bad enough for me to realize that although i felt like it#i am no longer an isolated & parentified island of a child who is beholden to the whims of ignorant & indifferent adults#i actually can and should take action to advocate for myself bc i am an adult and i CAN now change my circumstances as needed#instead of just enduring them as if i'm stuck there with no agency or chance to change things#and i have a really solid support system who helped me feel like it was possible to stand up for myself to get the help i desperately need#chronic blogging

Quick Quiz and a Question Pinky 1.Why is Claire so Loyal to team and to Jim
2. if Blinky learn about Jim Training earlier how do you think their interactions Would be Like do you think that Blinky Would stop the training Like he did in canon. or Something else would happen
I think Claire's loyalty to Jim is the reason she has any loyalty to Jim's team lol. Although I don't believe she was loyal to Jim until he risked everything to save her baby brother. THEN and only then was Claire 100% loyal to Jim and his team.
I think Blinky in Canon caught Jim training with Strickler and Nomura at the worst time lol. If it was earlier it's hard to say, as Jim was training for a possibly at least a month or more, but I doubt Blinky would have been impressed. Probably disappointed and guilty in himself for not having time to train him. And a little hurt and jealous that Jim sought Strickler out instead and didn't tell him. I wouldn't say in Canon Blinky STOPPED the training, just stopped the gravesand high Jim. I think Jim would continue to train with Strickler actually, even if it was not shown on screen, because Blinky still didn't have time to help Jim, and when Jim became half-troll he fought like a changeling (albiet a REALLY strong and powerful one). Clearly Strickler and Nomura's training style improved Jim's fighting capability quite a bit.

I played Season over the weekend, which if I had to condense "thematic meandering" into a videogame is probably what I would most closely end up with; but it was still a cozy chill time that targeted my very specific niche of robust cow petting mechanics. Followed by journaling the heck out of them.
I do think cute indies living and dying by their sincere desire to paint the human condition should never ever ever fall into the temptation of obtuse and nebulous worldbuilding that desperately needs to explain itself so it can function as an aesthetic blanket for their vignettes. Just keep it loose and metaphor-heavy, fellas.
Cause if you're not extremely, painfully specific about your intention with a story that centers ignorant tourism and historic preservation, you're gonna beef it, bud
#season a letter to the future#I have so many nitpicks but it feels mean lmao. in a very subjective sense I had a good time with it. I am a boring playstyle guy#scrapbooking and cycling in a pretty world is right up my alley. wish it wasn't so#man idk if I can call it what I want to call it cause it's so unclear of its own optics. the intention feels pure#for whatever good that can do in a context this god damn loaded :D but at least I recorded the froggies on my tapes#(a game like this does not need elaborate lore that it then fails to adequately explain anyway. that is a barrier to many of season's#emotional high points. shit just lacks clarity of purpose and happens as a given and banks on its aesthetic and melancholic context to#provide the necessary backbone for that punch. but then you end up revealing your hand and general flippant disposition towards this#nebulously coded cultural backdrop that you've constructed for ultimately shallow purposes. especially irt to the core ethos#like the game ultimately asks us if dispassionate preservation of a dying culture is more valuable than the vicarious experience of it but#then that binary is never meaningfully weighted since the protagonist survives and succeeds in either option BECAUSE of the journal and?#it all fizzles out in thematic incongruity. maybe it's my own hangups with glorification of legacy to such a manic degree#or maybe it's really just meant to be sort-of aimless and 'human' in that way. which again negates the need for this lore-brain barrier#just keep it simple without the oddly pedestrian mechanics of the literal apocalypse and the mass amnesia prayers and tell#the exact same story. with a tighter grip on the context of who the protagonist is in this land. there's your game)#text

Maybe I’m making more of this than is actually there but ZYS is not a character I like until she also gets knocked down a peg in the finale…like nearly every interaction she has with another character she’s manipulating them including the girl, how are you? convo. Like maybe it wasn’t supposed to mean anything but when Auntie shows Stede Ed’s body she’s grinning in the background. She just got done saying she doesn’t let people go on and on about their feelings she’s NOT interested in how Stede is feeling…like absolutely girlboss simp but she gets her ass handed to her because she always assumes she’s the smartest person in any room. Idk it just feels like everyone wanted to jump on her bandwagon (at least what I was seeing) and I’m like nah she doesn’t care about anyone new but Olu and only in a selfish way so…🤷🏻‍♀️

Me, BooBoo the Fool: I hope Izzy finds love next season and becomes the new captain of The Revenge when Stede and Ed inevitably quit/fake their deaths to run off together.

yesterday i also watched the movie "poor things" and i have several thoughts about it , most of them not enthusiastically positive, but i have a soft spot for franeknstein-like scientist/doctors with a passion for giving a new sort of "life" to creatures and who are misunderstood as "monsters" despite doing what they do for a pure unadulterated Lust for Life. thats just something im Always drawn to. That's dragica, and to some extent, salice as well

does anyone know if there are any solid rules regarding underwater animals in the sonic universe and if they need water to survive or not? i know later issues of archie sonic had a lot of characters who were from the ocean but i cant remember if this was ever clarified or not because my memories on some parts of archie sonic are a bit fuzzy

Ok so I need to rework my Wendy skilltree concept because klei heard ppl complain abt the combat and went alright then time to completely rework combat but very slowly one update at a time so no one realizes until we straight up give Willow spells
#rat rambles#starve posting#this is abt the new dst beta btw willow and wigfrid are getting skill trees#now I have complicated feelings on parts of their skill trees but this is a beta so Im fully expected attempted improvements at least#<- this is mostly abt the beefalo stuff on wigfrid's since it just feels. so out of place with the rest of her skill tree#but burnie desperately needs better buffs especially since youre required to take a lot of them for the lunar and shadow branches#I also have some complicated feelings on the direction theyre taking the comabt but at the same time it is a necessary change#but at the same time one thats only necessary because of them deciding to take a more boss heavy approach to game progression#basically this is their attemtp to get out of a whole they dug themsleves in#which means that as time goes on dst is becoming less and less of a survival game#which some ppl might like but its still a bit disappointing for a game that caught my interest because of the survival elements#its not terrible tho it just means that the devs have decided upon a new direction for their game to give it more heavy story elements#most of my main issues have come from how clumsy the change has been and how it very much means we're losing the original feel of the game#but original don't starve still exists so its not like I think its the end of the world that theyre differenciating the two more#anyways since the devs are clearly trying to make actual combat classes a thing within dst I think this completely recontextualises things#as in I have to throw all of my past predictions and expectations out the window and look over everyone again taking thin into account#since now theyve shown that theyre fully willing to make completely new mechanics for these skill trees including straight up magic#which reminds me god I hope they dont give wendy spells or some shit#I really really REALLY want wendy's skilltree to mostly focus on abby buffs and sisturn buffs#because if they dont thatll just completely fuck over wendy's whole playstyle and I desperately dont want abby to become obsolete#I also need them to give the sisturn actually good buffs like for the love of god pls its only worth anything in super early game#at Least make the boosted abby regen a worldwide buff it wouldn't even be worth using most the time still but itd be Something#also god Im so scared for walter skill tree. please have it not fall into the same trap as his base kit of being too all over the place#the wigfrid beefalo branch is what makes me worried since thats a very concept over function thing already#same with like. most of wormwoods skill trees#tbf they fixed at lot of the weird wormwood stuff and hopefully they'll fix the weird wigfrid stuff too#most of willow's problems just come from the bernie skills being too weak which is especially funny cause previously burnie was the only#notable stength willow has pre tree#I mean tbf burnie has always been the weaker support between him and abby (imo) so its not like hes been like amazing anyways#but willow is just such a nothing character that burnie is basically why you use her

#i keep thinking about that post about insulin on&off and i think its bc it makes me feel hypocritical to be so affronted by it#seeing as homegrown medicine is like. my whole Thing&the reason why im alive lol.#but i think i finally figured out what bothered me so much&i guess i kind of noticed it immediately too bc i kind of mentioned it.#i had to learn medicine to survive which means all my experimentation was done entirely on myself.#&it was traditional medicine that was being made w/o western tools or help for literally centuries.#&i did it to keep me alive long enough to get LIFE SAVING medicine. the kind of medicine insulin is.#&i have never been anything other than openly disgusted w the fact that i had to do all that to survive.#i do practice on ppl now when i can but these ppl ALSO have no other options&im not prescribing life saving meds.#&most importantly like i said in the tags on that post it feels v condescending to use insulin as a point#when you yourself do not use homegrown insulin-- or insulin in general.#i obviously know anarchistic medicine is necessary&lifesaving. but i also think that the medical advances weve made thus far#as a species should be readily available to the ppl who need it w/o having to risk dangerous methods to potentially get it.#it does not take a huge margin of error to kill someone w bad insulin. not by any stretch of the imagination.#downplaying it to 'but its so easy to make' feels incredibly inappropriate from ppl who DO NOT need it to survive.#idk maybe im just looking for reasons to justify myself so i dont feel like a flatout hypocrite lmao.#but in my head somewhere this makes sense lmao.
