based on this post!

So you don’t have to watch the video every time you need one of these hacks immediately:

1. If you feel nauseated, smell rubbing alcohol.

2. If you feel like throwing up, start humming.

3. If you have a runny nose, put your tongue to the roof of your mouth and press your thumb to your forehead for about 20 seconds.

4. If you have a headache, pinch the webbing between your fingers and rub it back and forth for about 1 minute.

5. If you’re lightheaded from standing up too quickly, clench your butt cheeks.

6. If your arm’s dead/has the pins and needles feeling, rock your head back and forth.

7. If you need to pee badly, think of sex to trick your brain and relieve the pressure.

8. If you have a migraine, stick your hands in ice water.

9. If you wanna calm your racing heart, blow on your thumb.

TW: Abuse

So far at least for me Tadashi has been the most intriguing character in the entirety of Sk8, and I’m quite surprised so little people are talking about the developments we got from the most recent episode, especially what’s happening in the preview. 

It’s pretty obvious that Tadashi is being abused, be it from a relationship dynamic or between boss and secretary. Adam consistently threats violence, refers to him as a dog, and cares very little for Tadashi’s well being considering that he plans to have him take the blame for Adam’s own wrongdoings. 

It’s obviously had a huge impact on Tadashi’s psychology as we’ve seen in Episode ten, where he calls himself and his previous passions “the worst” and projects that onto others as well. I speculate that it’s because he associates everything regarding skating with Adam and thus hurt, yet fails to blame the inflictor himself. He also considers himself the reason that Adam is inflicting so much pain onto others, the skaters he’s hospitalized and Reki and Langa. 

It wasn’t always like this. We got a glimpse of that in episode eight, but actually an animated scene of it in episode ten. It’s up to the interpreter, but to me it seems like the two were romantically involved. I judge this based off of that scene where he touches the two hearts embossed on where Tadashi taught Adam how to skate and Adam’s interest in Tadashi despite them not being allowed to interact with one another on friendly terms. There’s this one scene where Adam is peaking at Tadashi from behind the bushes all shy, almost like he has a crush he’s too afraid to talk to, and smiles when Tadashi invites him over.

So it’s more like what the fuck happened to corrupt Adam so bad? There was obviously the abuse from his aunts and most likely his father that distorted his sense of love, but I don’t suspect that’s all there is to the story. 

I suspect we’ll find out more from next episode, probably the climax of it in the season finale, just judging from how concerned Tadashi looks in the episode preview with whatever Adam’s doing, most likely planning to inflict more harm on Reki who in the most recent episode reminded Tadashi of why he previously loved skateboarding until Adam ruined it for him.

Episode ten honestly surprised me with the narrative turns it took just coming from a background in writing, but if I were to guess, Tadashi is definitely going to do something big in order to prevent Adam from hurting Reki. I don’t know what, but my guess is taking Reki’s place in racing Adam instead of Shadow and beating him, which I legitimately think he will do.

Out of all the screenshots I shared, the one that stuck out the most to me was Tadashi isolated where he and Adam used to skate while being called a sacrificial lamb. I’m always a sucker for biblical imagery, but what stuck out to me the most is how isolated he looks. He’s really been left in the mud by Adam, and his mind is so fucked up because of it.

Anyway, point of this post is that Tadashi deserves better and next episode he’s gonna come full circle and beat the shit out of Adam, thank god.

If you’re healthy you probably don’t realize how demoralizing it is to spend all day in a hospital gown

But now a new collaboration is designing fashionable hospital gowns to encourage sick teens that they’re not “just a hospital patient.” See how they react when they try their new robes on.

Has anyone else noticed how, when you have a chronic condition of some kind, that there’s always the basic assumption from people around you that you’re not already doing everything you can?

Finally had my surgery a few days ago. Turns out the cysts were in my Fallopian tube and not my ovary so the ovary was able to be saved and just the Fallopian tube was removed. My mom saw some pictures and said the cysts were three times the size of my uterus😳😳 I had the biggest panic attack/psychosis/meltdown or whatever I’ve ever had when I woke up and I’m glad my mom was there to explain to the nurses what was happening to me and the best way to respond. With all the pelvic and lower abdomen pain, I immediately assumed I’d been r@ped again and when I saw the incisions and blood on the sheets, I damn near lost my everloving mind and I was moved to a separate room from the recovery wing bc of all my screaming. My nurse called after I got home to see if I had peed yet(my discharge orders originally were that I needed to stay until I peed but when my doctor saw the state I was in she said I could leave as soon as my ride could get here) and said that she could see the terror in my face and eyes and she could tell I was so scared and she’s glad I was feeling better at home.

Recovery is turning out more difficult than expected, I still have a pain pump in me with local anesthesia in it but it’s mostly been annoying since local anesthesia doesn’t work very well on me bc if my EDS. Today’s day three and I’m starting to hurt a bit less tho(knock on mf wood) and damn I’m thankful to work for myself so I’m not having to worry about my job while I’m out of commission.

I was able to pay 1006$ out of the 1578$ copay which is great, I got some money from my dad and some of my moms friends pitched in to help me get closer to the full payment and I’m so thankful alhamdullilah

Happy Black History YEAR!

[firecrystaline]

I ask Allah to remove all bitterness and envy from within me. I ask Allah to allow my happiness for people to be pure and genuine. I ask Allah to cleanse me from all feelings that are in even the slightest tainted with pride and jealousy because it is these feelings that make the heart rotten and a rotten heart is too heavy for me to carry. Ya Rabb, purify me.

Allahumma Aameen 🤲❤

Like yes I take care of my clothes and every now and then my family members pool their money to get me something nice for my bday or xmas and like I really don’t like having that held against me like I’m sorry I don’t look like whatever caricature you think poor ppl look like.
