Episode Thoughts…

That was a great episode. Much better than yesterday I think. It’s nice seeing Robert about the village more and settling in.

The nightmare at the beginning made me so sad for him. I like that they’re still showing it though. That gives me hope they’re going to continue to explore it and I still want my prison flashback episode. But no, I loved Vic coming into calm him down. And that hug 😭

The faces Robert was making while Vic was inviting him to lunch with John were amazing. Definitely reminiscent of him in the White’s kitchen during the break up era. Very fun.

The lunch would have been ten times funnier if Aaron was there and I really need it to happen at some point but obviously it was the right thing to do not to include him. Haha. I like that Vic knows they’re just playing along for her. The synchronized smiles bit was funny.

But ugh…fuck you John. Trying to making him feel bad about not having money and asking Gabby about a job at the Hide knowing that wasn’t what he wanted and knowing she wasn’t going to give it to him. Especially when you’re the reason he doesn’t have the job he’s good at right now. John’s stupid little “be confident, you’ve got this”. Robert should have punched him again.

I feel bad that Robert has to deal with Vic begging for work for him though. But to his credit, he did accept the farm job. He is accepting help, which feels like growth. I did kind of like the Jack mention of him saying Robert wasn’t cut out for farm work and that being the one thing Robert could agree with him on.

That said, I support farmer Robert. Bless him though, only wants to do farm work if Aaron’s around. Haha.

I do like that he keeps winning over the new people though. First Caleb with his tenacity and business sense and now Mack with putting in a hard day’s work. Because they both and pre written him off based on what other people had said but then he’s able to prove his worth. I’m so proud of him. Look at our boy making friends.

Kind of reminds me of 2014 with Aaron a little. Aaron had heard all the Robert stories from people but he got to know the real Robert because he gave him a chance and the rest is history.

I loved that little Mack scene at the end though when he started be sarcastic about John and Robert perked up and was like “finally someone doesn’t worship him!” And his smile when Mack said it was nice having him around. I just want them to be besties at some point. Please!

I do think it’s interesting that they’ve brought up Vic feeling responsible for Robert being in prison twice now. I wonder if they’re going to go more into that if they’re digging into his trauma or if that’s just some establishing stuff to tie things together and remind the viewers why he was in prison.

Anyway…it really was a good episode for him. Big fan.

transwheelchairuser tips pls?

TransWheelChairUser Tips

Includes both tips on getting a wheelchair/being given a wheelchair medically and tips on how to get a wheelchair without medical reasoning. This is basically a full transition tutorial lol.

Getting a wheel chair; medically advised/using insurance

- Weaken your legs but without making major differences to yourself, if you go to the gym slowly stop. Spend a majority of your time sitting down, if you dont have to move: dont. But the key part is ro make it seem like you havent changed at first; dont let yourself gain weight from not doing anything physical, still walk around when others(especially family) is around you. But just start sitting down more and leaning on things. But still work out your upper body! Lift weights with your hands. You do not want your upper body to become weak.

- By not moving a lot you can cause yourself fatigue, which can will further weaken you legs if your blood starts slowing down.

- Though someome may notice you arent moving as much, this is your time to start acting. Create a reason, the best one i can think of is: „My legs randomly started hurting a few days ago! I dont know why!“

- You want to get it to the point you actually cant stand up without feeling some sort of pain in your legs. Its even better if you can or start getting bruises on your legs.

- Once you get to the point where it starts to become painful you want to have some sort of injury to show that your weakness is starting to become a daily problem. And im not saying to break your leg or something extreme like that, im saying randomly stumble or collapse(make sure to practice while you are alone so it dosent look like you are faking it, though it may just come naturally!)

- At this point your parents(if you live with them/are a minor) may take you to the doctors, continue the act that the pain started randomly and you dont know the cause. If your parents dont take you to the doctors you should start going to the nurse at your school if possible. The nurse will be a convincing force that will make your parents take you to the doctors. If you are an adult, simply go to the doctors.

- The doctor may just recommend excerise. But when you start doing excerise keep acting, or maybe at this point its real, that you are in pain while trying to move your legs, now like the first tip here your upper body should still not be weak; this is your way of showing its just your lower body(legs) that are the problem and its not the lack of excerise that is the problem.

- You should by now be advised to get a wheel chair by the doctor! Overall id say this whole transition can take a minimum of a few weeks to a couple months. Just fake it til you make it

and a small side note: Insurence can pay or help pay for a wheelchair! All you need is to be prescribed a wheel chair by a doctor.

Getting a wheelchair; nonmedically

- Honestly, the easiest way is just buying a wheelchair! They can go for as low as 120$ USD new and maybe even lower if used on websites like facebook marketplace or craiglist.

- But of course, you need the people around you to believe you need one. So you can simply do some of things i said before; leaning on stuff, starting to act as if standing/walking is a pain, spend most of your time sitting. Overtime people will connect you to not being able to stand normally and so if you get a wheelchair it wont bw suprising. This will also help if you live with your parents and they are against or confused about you with a wheel chair, if you keep the act up they will start to realize you need one and this isnt just laziness.

- Overall for both ways you need to keep in mind that you should still have it so your upper body isnt weak; Lift light weights, do arm stretches, etc. Simply neglect your legs!

I hope these help! I tried my best to make this as detailed as possible whilst keeping it simple

Their face seemed to lit up even more as it spoke about Valentina's behaviour. Almost fond of such silly thing as knowing what it was talking about. That was Valentina they knew. It surely is in right place.

"right, right, she complained like... A LOT about them fucking up, you know? But you give that vibe of someone who knows what to do. So I have high hopes for you." They winked, being sure their words were rather reassuring then anything else.

"im still hella impressed with their work, you know?" Rambling continued as they started walking again, mentioning for it to follow. "I was trying to watch them work but it just made my head hurt. So many switches, lights, all that electric stuff. It's intimidating!" Genuine, friendly giggle.

"oh! I'm Shrimp by the way. Figured you might want to know if you come here again." Saying that, they turned around, now walking backwards, just to be able to look it in the face as they extended their hand.

( Peanut uses it/its pronouns )

Peanut was nervous about college internships, they seemed intimidating.

What it didn’t expect was being invited to the New Avengers tower to work on and learn more about their tech systems. Which are both out of date, while also being ahead of their time.

Props to Tony Stark, it guesses.

It looks thankful for the tower being easy to access, not used to professional buildings like this being ground level without steps leading up to it. Nothing for it to hobble up with their arm crutches. That’s a plus.

It’s already exhausted enough from having to take the bus to get here.

Now do find someone to show it around.

If anyone was even told it was meant to be here.

\\ First roleplay with this new OC! Don’t want to tag anyone since…

Well, I’m nervous about how people will handle interacting with a physically disabled character.

Projecting how I feel about myself lmao. //

I think the Gomes 2 ending just killed my GPU .

Like since I saw the ending I kinda obsessed over it and watched it a bunch of times and started doing facial studies of the expressions and stuff and now my GPU is just fried. I didn't even stress it the last few months. That beast was rendering and computing long 3D animations and liquid/physics simulations like a champ for 3 years now. It practically was on vacation for now but suddenly it just fried itself after being used by me for feeding my angst obsession????

I mean I understand why it probably did it, if I wasn't such a sucker for angst and getting hit right in the feels I'd probably wanna do the same if somebody forced me to live through the same thing over and over again.

Anyone out there got a solution for when you're feeling really stuck with your art and everyone and their mother tells you the solution is to do studies and figure drawings and other such things but even just thinking about doing those things makes you Spiral and want to Kill Yourself?

Update on my Whumptober thoughts: Not all the prompts will be posted, I have all 31 planned out but I found out that you don't have to post all 31. If a fic is finished, I'll post it but there's some big beasts that I want to write properly instead of rush. Also, I might not even write all 31. I want the completionist title but I don't have the time nor energy to force myself to write all the prompts and I did it last year and it wasn't like life-changing. I like Whumptober because the prompts help my creativity, spark some inspiration (talking about my Delancey Brothers Fic) but the perfectionist in me just beats myself up about not getting enough fics done before October or not writing enough each day to get them finished and then writing fics that all sound the same or the ideas being kind of shitty because I'm forcing them. I want to do my ideas justice rather than mass produce shit I don't like because I feel I need to, it's a constant line I walk between "I want to write something well and that I'm proud of so might be inactive for a while on AO3" and "I want to get this idea out there so need to post a bunch of stuff now"

therapy was interesting she kinda just out of nowhere asks if i like writing and i was hesitantly like….yes……and she got all excited she was like you should really pursue that. i think that’d be great for you. and i was like thank you but why are you saying this. i don’t remember exactly what she said cause i think i blacked out a little but basically said im very well spoken and deliberate with my word choice and she said she’d have been very surprised if i said i don’t write at all

My primeval special interest has been reawoken. My thoughts are like at least 80% about primeval. And dinosaurs. Yay! I missed having a special interest, I was so burned out by work that I only had hyperfixations that left me frustrated! Now I can just think about my favorite thing 24/7 even while I'm doing and thinking about other things and my brain gets happy brain chemicals from it! I want to write and feel like I could! I have energy! I have my comfort show! The only thing I'm sad about is some older fics have been deleted/wiped/lost which is sad, or at least I can't find them anymore with how fucked Google is. But besides that!!! Yay special interest!!!
