The beautiful thing as you get older is that you realize so many “rules” are made up and you can just do whatever. Posters can go anywhere in the house not just my room. I can sit down while cooking a meal or taking a shower. I can make the same thing for breakfast lunch dinner for a week straight. I can roam around the house shirtless. I can wear a dress with jeans. The world is my oyster key word my and I can live as I please embracing little things such as this
People keep saying Medic mains must suffer a lot but actually playing Medic is like being on crack. You get to borrow his god complex. The team would be lost without you. Their screams are music to your ears. Where was I going with this

Oh hey neat you’ll never guess why it’s called that!
the hardest thing about chronic pain to me is how it makes me doubt my own brain.
I have chronic pain. specifically chronic migraines. and the hard thing about that, or neurological pain in general, or really just so fucking many different chronic pain conditions, is there is no proof.
there's no scan a doctor can do to show my pain level or symptoms. you can't look at my head and go "huh, looks fucked up, probably a 8/10 pain." absolutely everything I experience, in order to be understood by a medical professional or even just anyone really, has to be self-recognized and self reported.
and that requires so many steps and levels of trust. like just to fucking start, I have to be aware that the invisible thing I am experiencing is not a thing everyone feels! which again, fucking invisible! Then I have to be aware it's happening at all, which sounds basic but with chronic shit is not. I had to explain to a doctor this week that I do not know if I ever experience "normal" or low-level headaches, because I'm so used to severe migraines that anything below that doesn't register. Sometimes it even takes hours for me to notice I'm having a migraine!
and then I have to be able to assess my own pain, judge how bad it really is, when after nine fucking years my scale is goddamn broken. and the longer I've had a migraine, the further out of whack it goes. I have to recognize and categorize my symptoms, one of which is fucking brain fog, and I have to communicate these very nebulous and abstract concepts to other people.
And then. And then they have to actually believe me. I have to convince them I'm not lying, I'm not looking for attention or drugs or pity or excuses. with zero hard proof, just my words. and then it cycles, because if people doubt my pain, I start to doubt my own experiences. I start to think I'm being a wimp, I'm faking it, I can try harder. so then I downplay it, so then I think it's fine, so I push through it, and this works great until I am fully fucking incapacitated.
and then people are shocked and surprised because I "look healthy."
it has taken fucking years for me to accept that what I am experiencing is real and people who doubt me can go fuck themselves. and it's still very much a work in progress. every single day.
but my pain is real. and so is yours. and people who doubt us can, to reiterate, go fuck themselves.
remember when u were like 11 and the only thing u wanted was a lava lamp
Yeah, I’d have killed a man for this bedroom as a kid
How did we all have the same brain?

reading a romance novel where the protagonist feels the need to stop and inform that audience that it's okay for her, a 27 year old, to hook up with a 31 year old because despite the age difference both of their brains are fully developed. the Discourse really has done incalculable damage.
that's...they're adults 4 years apart, who on Earth would think there's any sort of meaningful age gap
This is breathtaking
"I hate how American media will just make up a European nation rather than do any research, so I'm going to get back at them by writing a story set in a fake American state" like, do you have the slightest idea how much American media is set in a geographically impossible fictional small town located in no particular state and characterised entirely by some guy from Los Angeles' collection of half-remembered stereotypes about the American Midwest? They've already got the "lazily inventing fictional parts of America" bit locked down.
No, if you want to play the Uno reverse card on American media, what you need to do isn't to make up a fake state: you specifically need to wilfully misrepresent southern California.
theory 1: baseball curses are real bc look what happened to the cubs and the red sox
theory 2: baseball curses are fake bc no one has ever cursed the yankees
theory 3 (synthesis): no one has successfully cursed the yankees bc they employ a cadre of dark wizards
Too many curses, that's why. It's like fighting thru a giant crowd to get your curse in, and it'll be overwritten in seconds anyway.
the dark wizards got 'em
The most interesting part about Neil Gaiman On Tumblr isn't that he's on Tumblr but that he knows how to use tws and speaks in the tags sometimes. He's not just On Tumblr but rather knows how to actually use Tumblr. Disconcerting.
Hi Neil, I regret to inform you that my dog ate you. It was very sad. I hope Sandman season 2 and Good Omens season 3 are not impacted too harshly by your consumption
Whereas I just hope your dog isn't too badly affected by my consumption.

You're not doing anything wrong using ace/aro labels and then stopping and/or moving on to other labels. It's normal to try multiple labels before figuring out which ones are right for you.
