Hey y’all! It’s finally Fall for NorCal. Crisp 53F mornings.

My friend convinced me to do StepBet. I really do not like games like that but I agreed because I needed to resume a daily run routine and I wanted to support her. I’ve been at it for 2 weeks. She dropped out day 4. 🙄

My anxiety has been off the charts with my job. Understaffed so I’m picking up all the extra work for the entire team. No relief in sight before mid Spring. I’d make a lateral move but the grass is not always greener. So I guess more running will have to do.

Hall🎃ween is almost here. Time to kick off the holidays. I’m traveling in November and December. I’m finally going back to Europe after 4 years.

Keep going, Bunnies. It feels heavy now but we will persevere. Find joy in the little things. Eat the warm bread. Listen to the wind. Smell the rain. Feel the cool morning fog. Watch people and their pets from a cafe. Drink coffee while the sun comes up. Rest your mind and soul often. You deserve it.

💋

I really feel like there’s an interesting way to tie demonism to wh but not in the “THESE PUPPETS ARE LITERALLY DEMONS” way but in the “unfounded satanic panic” way

#welcome home spoilers #wh spoilers #the timelines don’t add up bc satanic panic happened in the 80s #but there is an idea there if we pair it with show sentience theory..#wh characters (Wally mostly? Home too perhaps?) show that they are sentient. show producers let their fear over shadow their reasoning #satanic panic esque pandamonium ensues. puppets are all written off as demons. insert Christian religious trauma metaphor here #in their fear the show’s producers go through with a ritual to exorsize the show’s entire concept from our world #now nobody remembers this show (except the question answerer apparently but well this theory is just a brain exercise really)#previously mentioned characters are still sentient but they are trapped. ideas cannot die. they are forever #they are stuck in stasis for 50 years until the whrp begins. they can finally interact with the outside world again #etc etc July 22nd site update you get the point. whps is a sentient idea & relies on memories (physical or mental) to exert its presence #& gets written off as evil/demonic bc people do not care to truly understand it. there’s an autism metaphor in there somewhere I think #txt #welcome home #welcome home theory #don’t take this too seriously bc this is more of a mental exercise #than a theory. like I’m just fucking around here #lrb

I did NOT spend five fucking years breaking my back and my brain getting a degree in this for people to say that musical theatre is corny and useless and inherently shameful.

#YOU get through a two-show day with 9 intensive dance numbers!! YOU learn a sondheim score!!!! YOU sing an emotionally intense song that #hits a little too hard without crying onstage!!!!!!!!! YOU do all the work of singing a song in a strange style in a consistently healthy #way that doesn't ruin your voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#YOU do the vocal stamina exercises and sit in a practice room for 50 minutes each day going over the same phrase to figure out #how it sits in your voice without losing your sanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#EVERYONE SHUT THE FUCK UP #In the Vents #oh I am BITTER today my friends #it is a BAD chronic illness day #do not MAKE me pull out my 10 minute stephen schwartz presentation do not MAKE me scream about the instrumentation in #the deathnote stage musical do not MAKE me live-stream a practice session of trying to learn how to sing 'stupid with love' without #sounding like a dying rabid animal #NOBODY WANTS ANY OF THAT BUT I WILL DO IT IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES TO MAKE YOU UNDERSTAND™#WATCH RAGS! WATCH LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA! WATCH PASSION! WATCH PARADE! WATCH THE COLOR PURPLE! IF YOU'RE /SO/ INSISTENT THAT EVERY WORK HAS TO #DEAL WITH BIG SOCIAL/PERSONAL ISSUES IN A COMPLETELY REALISTICALLY SERIOUS WAY TO BE WORTHY OF ATTENTION #SOMETHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE GRITTY AND JOYLESS AND GRIM TO HAVE ANYTHING MEANINGFUL TO SAY ABOUT THOSE ISSUES #WICKED HAS THEMES OF OPPRESSION THAT ARE ARTICULATED MORE ORGANICALLY THAN A LOT OF '''''SERIOUS''''' WORKS BUT NOBODY WANTS ME TO TALK #ABOUT THAT

Seeing myself in photos truly makes me want to die.

#I hate it. I put so much work into losing weight and keeping healthy and then?#I reacted SO badly to the forced vaccines and gained 50 pounds in 2 months despite exercising daily and eating under 1600 cals/day #And no matter what I do I haven’t been able to like. Shed the weight again #Seeing myself in photos other people took truly just has me going ‘holy FUCK’#And then I spiral.#I don’t know why but it messed up my hormones badly. I didn’t get a period for over six months #(INSANELY unusual for me as I have been regular like clockwork my entire life no matter my weight)#And then even once I started getting them again it took another two years for them to stabilise/get back to being like clockwork.#During that time no matter what or how much I exercise it’s just been a steady weight gain #Until I saw myself in a photo someone else took and yeah holy shit want to die I’m so fucking ugly it’s not even funny #text #chey.txt

which is worse, twilight or 50 shades of grey

Oh 100% 50 shades. I might have a bias given the twilight special interest, but I think even without my bias 50 shades is infinitely worse. It's literally like. twilight but without the vampires (and much hornier). like??? why would you not want the vampires!! if you're gonna write something horny vampires are so much fun for that

I will concede perhaps if you read 50 shades without having read twilight, it might fare better in your mind. but I have read twilight, and all I can see when reading 50 shades is how reliant it is on Twilight. It has the same characters (though some of them are a little switched/altered), but it also literally has the same plot.

In both, MC (Bella, Anastasia) meets a man who she's very attracted to (Edward, Christian) but is telling her to stay away from him, turns out he has a dark secret (is a vampire, is a sadist), they fall in love anyways. They break up after one book, leaving everyone shells of themselves until they get back together. They're being stalked by an unstable grieving individual who may hurt them (Victoria, Leila), MC is threatened to do something (come to a location, give money) because an individual important to them has been kidnapped (Renee, Mia). MC accidentally gets pregnant and Love Interest reacts poorly/isn't happy about it, but MC is fiercely protecting of unborn child.

I just. It's like when writing 50 shades EL James had a checklist of twilight plot points she was going through for her own novels. Which is like...yeah, you can do that, but the story doesn't stand on its own then. Like it's a little much at this point

And some of the qualities transferred over from one setting to another just...don't work the same. Like the post I made earlier about how Christian's anger and threats don't hit the same because he's literally just human. Yes, he's struggled with anger, but he's still human. Edward's a vampire. He can make much more important and impactful threats, and the threat of being near him is much more potent than being a sadist.

Anyway, point is I think, even taking into account my bias, that twilight's better. Because the characters and plot used in both were designed for Twilight. Everything fits and flows better, AND it's got vampires and werewolves. But this is only my opinion, so others may disagree :)

#50 shades trilogy #quil's queries #lola-legendary #also I have no clue where/when I saw this #but someone said something to the effect of 'edward would never in his life be a dom he'd start crying immediately'#and like. I think they're right #he's bossy and overbearing sometimes yeah. that does not equate to 'is a dom'#he is not. he is very much at bella's every whim #he could not exercise that kinda control over her he'd break down panicking

Oh my god could I stop being sick please? It's been two freaking months and I got shit to do!

#nasty bronchitis that ending up putting me in the hospital #I'm behind in doing real life things but also just so freakin tired #i wanna do dumb tumblr stuff #but i already have a post wrote up with links to all the info on shubble/wilbur situation so people don't have to look 50 different places #BUT I also don't wanna make every post I have time to make about... THAT #THAT'S DEPRESSING #but i said i would and I'm a person of my word so...#it's been over a month since I've been able to make a sound #you'd be surprised how bad it is sensory and emotion wise to not be able to laugh or make sounds when you cry or groan in frustration #I'm in PT too because I was so weak by the time I got in the hospital that I couldn't stand #was literally coughing so hard and so constantly that I couldn't keep down food #lost about 25 lbs in 3 weeks according to the doctors (I'm overweight but that is still a LOT for anybody that's not exercising to lose)#going to push myself today because my hair has gotten so thick and long that it's causing too many sensory issues #also a bit of gender dysphoria just to keep it interesting #the person who cuts my hair is aware of how sickly I am and is having me come in when she hasn't been doing a hair treatment before me #still there's a risk of an asthma attack or just collapsing from the short walk #literally do not care #my hair is thick and hot and too long #let me be an androgynous gremlin!#also my cat says hi (he is slapping my phone like No phone love me NOW!!! XD )#bluewind talks

Hi bunnies!

Post op week 14. Healing well. My surgeon has released me to run and exercise as I wish.

I have reduce my bra size from a 36E/F to 36B (full). Or 34C (which women know is the same size cup).

My belly and legs have gone soft and fluffy. So I welcome the Spring and being free to run again outside! But I wouldn’t trade a day exercise restricted to go back to this size!

Hope you all are happy and getting plenty of Vitamin D! ☀️☀️☀️☀️

💋

im aware that this is just like,,,the nature of food. but it’s kind of galling when something takes 5+ hours to make and the family member who had the least to do with its creation eats seventy five percent of it in fifteen minutes

#this is about my father eating like 35/50 of the pot stickers my sister spent all day cooking (there are four people in our family)#but it’s also about my father eating approximately the same proportion of the peirogis we make on Christmas Eve #(we being my mother sister and i while my father plays video games)#and also how my mother made him dinner and made me a separate thing i like very much the other night and he ate both #pretty much every day i eat five potato chips for breakfast and then like fifteen more for dinner lol #that’s fine no need to get fat over the summer #im buying a bathing suit from an asian company so i want it to fit my large American body lol #i wouldn’t want to have sons for many reasons but one being that men eat too much and it’s gross #And no men you don’t really need to eat that much sorry you’re not Michael Phelps and being male doesn’t mean you automatically need 4x #more calories than the average woman. It’s like maybe a little more than 2x + whatever’s needed when exercise is factored in #(Like 1200-1400 vs 2500-2800 i think)#If I had a husband and more than one male child I would need to make an honestly insane amount of food and then still not get to eat anythi #because it doesn’t matter how much you make. my mom makes a lot of food. If there’s still dinner and it’s something my father likes #he will just take all of it. I can’t imagine if there were other men in our family I think my sister and I would have starved to death lol

i agreed to participate in this thing called 'bike to work' for the entirety of june with a bunch of work friends because one of them was caught speeding and lost her licence and the other one thought we could do the thing in solidarity with her so yeah it's what it says on the tin, tomorrow i'll take the bike to go to work and i'm probably gonna die

#it's not TERRIBLY far it's two towns over and google maps says it's half an hour #and i have an e-bike (just not one of the very fast ones)#but i haven't done any form of exercise in like five years like i'm not joking my physical fitness it absolute shit #so this is gonna be very good for me but also i am GOING to pass away #(my goal is to get 50% of the days because if it rains or anything i'm not doing it)#personal

How I stay in shape over 50: The importance and illusion of the forearm

If you have been working out for a while you’ve likely heard about the illusion of the V taper. Basically the broader your shoulders are, the smaller your waist will appear. This creates the illusion of you being thinner then you actually are. This actually works, but there is a subtler, yet potent illusion men can use to increase attraction. The Forearm. To be clear, this post is meant for…
