because i am suffering from pollen. tf2 mercs and allergies.
Scout: peanuts. If he has peanuts he will get very itchy and his throat itches, if it's bad enough, to dangerous degrees. Spy carries an epipen for it
Soldier: Pollen. His nose gets runny and his sinuses feel like they're exploding. Also shellfish. He didn't know this until he had shrimp for the first time with the team. It wasn't fun.
Pyro: also pollen. They increase the filtering on their mask when spring starts. They aren't allergic to water but they avoid being submerged in it as if they were.
Demo: No allergies, but he does get a headache when spring starts. He just deals with it. Dust allergy but everyone is allergic to dust. Slight chickpeas allergy but he ignores it.
Heavy: pollen. He grew up in Russia where it is too cold for plant life 90% of the time so he never had that exposure. Also shellfish. Discovered this the same time Soldier did. It was a fun night.
Engie: no allergies. Smug about it.
Medic: cats and dogs. It's why he never owned any and he currently owns doves. Distributes the allergy meds like candy.
Sniper: is allergic to chickpeas but he doesn't care. Also allergic to sesame and does not care.
Spy: Dairy and peanuts. Is smart enough to not eat any cause he knows his allergies will be exploited if known.

The British government says that inflation isn't "that bad".
I have coeliac disease and am physically unable to digest gluten or wheat. I have to eat food made of corn flour, and it's already four times more expensive than food made out of wheat flour. Inflation has made it damn near impossible to find ordinarily priced food that I can actually fucking eat, because all the cheap alternative stuff designed to help people save money have a shit ton of wheat it.
Next time the government wants to tell me that inflation isn't "that bad", I want them to live on a gluten free diet for a week with an average weekly wage. Maybe then they'd fucking understand that just because abled people can cope with inflation, it doesn't mean disabled people can.
Fuck the UK government. Fuck the monarchy as well.

Mildly disturbing Tsumugi fanart (CW: blood, could possibly trigger scopophobia)
Posting for the first time on an account that I definitely haven't had for a while. Golly gee I hope I make a good impression

Comic Expo haul!
As usual I went in with a whole list of recs and tbr books to find and found basically zero of them. The expo was smaller again this year, due to our convention hall being under renovations, which meant fewer booths and fewer book options (alas!). Ah well, I improvised and found a bunch of cool new stuff anyway! Mostly manga this year, bc the manga booth by far had the best selection. There were tons of comics booths, but as usual older Marvel/DC stuff dominated and I couldn't really find anything that interested me.
Anyway, I found:
1. whole bunch of manga! Box of Light was a cover buy (it's gorgeous), Blue Morning looks interesting and was selling like hotcakes so I nabbed the first 3 volumes while I could. Peach Girl and Hyper Dolls were at a random booth for 5 for $20 so I couldn't resist them lol. Princess Jellyfish I finally picked up after years of going "hmmm maybe..." and it's an absolute delight (it's the only one I've read so far), my only regret is not grabbing a couple more volumes. And finally Evangelion vol 1, which I owned years ago, but for some reason got rid of when I moved. I do want to finish the series someday, though!
2. DEATH NOTE BOX SEEEEEEET AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. I'm SO excited, i always wanted to read the whole series but I'm very bad at keeping up with manga and didn't buy all the volumes before they went out of print. My hometown library had it when I was a teenager, but someone (presumably an extremely religious, scandalized parent of some other unfortunate emo teen) had ripped out all the pages with violence, sexuality, or satanic/goth imagery....so yeah, I didn't get to read very much of them after all. I'm sooooo excited to have my own copies with ALL the pages that NO ONE can deface!!!!
3. The only comic I actually bought at the comic expo lol: Sex Criminals vol 4. been lowkey meaning to finish that series for a while, though this was kind of a pity buy bc I spent 45 mins hiding from the crowds in the Redd Skull Comics booth (they put down nice plush carpet, and have tall bookshelves, so it makes it a good booth to decompress in) and felt like I should buy something in return for the hiding spot.
4. DRAGONLANCE ART BOOK!!!! YES, A BOOK FULL OF MY FAVOURITE 80s BOOK COVER PAINTINGS!!!! I love it so much. So, so much. It was expensive as hell, but WORTH IT. I usually don't bother with art books bc I never remember to look at them, but I've opened this multiple times to stare at the gorgeous paintings of Raistlin, so it was a good buy. (also I know WOTC is in hot water again, so disclaimer: I bought this from a secondhand comics booth, it's just in extraordinary condition. WOTC got 0 of my dollars this weekend).
