Finally an updated biology post. Wanted to work out organs/skeletons for Corldaxians, decided to update them for zoronxie too.
As well as some more realistic textures for them. I will never draw them like this again but idk. That’s what they’d actually look like. Zoronxie are a lot more tarantula than bird, and Corldaxians look really dragon-esc. Which I really like bc that was the original idea for their Taysya and Kielni cousins.
little rant for those of u who don't know I'm a child its about to b painfully obvious from my syntax + diction
im absolutely sick of my sister lmfao she's the most selfish immature self absorbed person I've ever met. she's 19 1/2 years old. she has depression she is on medication for, and due to it she locks herself in her room all day with the blinds blacked out, and only comes out at night where she will inevitably order food with our parents' money that is not hers to spend. every. single. day. my mother reasons that since she is an adult and her (my mother's) credit card expires this month we cannot stop her from doing what she wants. how pathetic. she is also nonbinary, and frequently argues about it with my trans critical mother. i have no doubt this is a major source of her state at the moment. she does not speak to any of us, ever, unless she absolutely needs to. she recently got into a screaming match w/ me about keeping hair from getting all over the place in our shared bathroom. she told me to 'grow up' when i said it was disgusting, like I'm the one who's been living like a ninja turtle and draining our parents' finances for Jack in the Box and cheaply made, AliExpress-looking clothing that is not worn. she dropped out of college a year ago and i just wish she would go back and leave my life. i cant stand to think about her rotting away, detesting us because we won't conform to her fantasy. every time i think about her I'm filled with anger. I know im probably being selfish but she's been like this her whole life. never friendly, never open, never kind, never human. it's always irked me, especially when i actually used to try and be her friend. i would always be the one seeking her out. she never came to me. i felt defective, like there was some reason she hated me. there was, of course. i used to be a real brat when i was 3-7. a child. you would think she'd be over it now, over 9 years later. i suppose not. the day she yelled at me to grow up i had done every chore in the house imaginable while she sat on her ass in her room either sleeping or doing nothing on her phone. and i am the one who must grow up. i am sick of it.
TTM update: Broke the code. Almost there. Thanks for waiting. Finally got to the shit just got real moment. Rooster said something that almost made me throw my computer. Home stretch.
If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.
if you donate one single us dollar to the unrwa, you will have donated more money than you would have by clicking that stupid arab.orb link every day for four and a half years. yes, they do actually donate money to the unrwa, but even with tens of thousands of clicks, most of that money is the baseline $90 they send every quarter. from 2023 quarter 4, half a million clicks turned into $380.57. maths out to six hundreths of one cent per click. just donate to unrwa.
Also increasingly aware that a LOT of people "manage" getting through the 40+ hour work week by sleeping less than is healthy and relying on stimulants like coffee and energy drinks to keep them going.
For people who are unwilling or unable to do this...work really does just dominate your life. Like we really should not have to rely on unhealthy practices just to have a social life or keep on top of housework or whatever.
I know I post about this a lot but I'm so TIRED all the time and it's just so depressing that this is how we're expected to spend the one life we have.
