not to be an asshole but i think a lot of disability discourse on this website cannot comprehend the idea of being physically disabled in a way which is like. not at all negotiable or flexible. like i think it's great that we're pushing people to understand that disability is nuanced and that there are disabilities which are not visible forms of physical disability but also like. sometimes you straight up cannot climb stairs. no not even on a good day not even when you "have enough spoons" it is just not physically possible. or you cannot get on and off a bus without struggling or without help. or it is physically not possible for you to bathe yourself. and it's not about "and you force yourself to push through it because of the internalized ableism" because you literally cannot physically fucking do it. like i am not trying to be mean but i feel like it frequently strikes me that people talking about disability seemingly do not understand the concept of I Literally Cannot Do This No Matter How Much I Want To Or Try Like It Is Physically Not Possible

the human mind is prone to catastrophizing when left unoccupied. And that’s why it’s important to always have a little Blorbo to rotate in your head. It acts as a protective charm of sorts to redirect your imagination away from harmful spirals

thoughts without Blorbo: oh my god I was so cringe in seventh grade why did I do that

thoughts with Blorbo: I haven’t considered the interactions with bleebus; I must rectify this immediately

hi gang. reminder that we are some of the best sweaters in the animal kingdom (second only to equines) allowing us to stay cool and keep moving in hot weather. we have 10 times the density of sweat glands compared to other great apes.

we are ALSO insanely good at smelling rain (specifically geosmin, found in the soil and activated by rain) with the ability to smell 10 parts per trillion. this is speculated to have helped our ancestors survive!

we ALSO have absolutely batshit diets compared to most other animals. caffeine and chocolate are completely toxic to most animals but we can eat it without even feeling sick. even avocados are severely toxic to many animals to the point where it can be fatal to eat, but humans love it!!!

we are ALSO the best endurance runners ON EARTH out of ANY other species. we beat horses in endurance running. you know, the animals that gradually evolved away most of their toes in order to be the best runners?? yeahhh.

and to top it all off. our lifespan is unusually long for our species' weight/mass. typically, the bigger a species is, the longer its average lifespan (e.g. domestic mice live for 1-3 years, whales can live over 200) but we're very small for how long our average lifespan is. big cats like tigers live around 14-15 years, brown bears 25 years, yet here we are expected to live around 75-85 years. that is NUTS.

humans as a species are so extremely cool. it's not just our intellect that makes us amazing. we may not be the fastest or the strongest in the animal kingdom but we're super cool in many other ways. next time you sweat you can go wow!!! humans are so cool I'm able to keep moving because of my absolutely insane number of sweat glands! thank you evolution!

The demonic cultivator Shen Yuan who spends his time adopting a bunch of little demons. At first he only takes in one orphan demon kiddo, then he ends up with three, five, then there are ten, then those ten grow old enough that his little cottage doesn't have room for them all. So they do what anyone would do: they cast evil spells on a mansion, make its owners desperate to sell it, and buy it for a bargain.

So now Shen Yuan has a huge house! And ten children. And maybe another five that he eventually adopts. And many more who join along the way. And obviously he needs babysitters to look after them while he works, so he hires nannies. And cooks. And servants. And teachers.

Then suddenly everyone is calling Master Shen, they bow down to him, and treat him as if he were a master of a demonic sect. And Shen Yuan doesn't care about reputation! He gets paid more when they think he's important, he gets more jobs, and that means more money to spoil his children!

What he didn't take into account is, of course, that Emperor Luo Binghe would arrive at his doorstep. Having destroyed all the cultivation sects, why did this arrogant cultivator think he would allow that one existed just because it was demonic? Luo Binghe is furious: his harem doesn't interest him, there isn't a kind Shizun out there for him who doesn't have another weak copy of him, and now this arrogant cultivator takes advantage of his absence to form a sect.

But Luo Binghe is benevolent: since the demonic cultivator did nothing to him, he will give this arrogant master a warning to dissolve his sect, or Luo Binghe will have it burned. If he is smart, the arrogant cultivator will know what to choose.

Except that the arrogant black and green-robed cultivator simply completely denies having a demonic cultivation sect, introduces the more than twenty demon-children under his care as his children, and even invites Luo Binghe to stay if he wants to prove that it is actually his family and not a sect.

And honestly, Luo Binghe has never seen such an effort to pretend that a sect is a family, but he can agree to stay. It will be nice to clear his mind. Even if everyone is calling this arrogant cultivator "Master Shen", this Master Shen is... kind, in a way that Luo Binghe doesn't know. Perhaps he should stay longer than a while. In fact, he's not at all sure that this isn't a cultivation sect. Some detail must be escaping him. He definitely has to stay.

This makes so much sense

STOP no more live-action remakes. We're going the other way now. Animated Casablanca. Animated The Godfather. Animated Oppenheimer. Animated Fight Club.

Secretive Plotter: Oh, me of the 41st Round, of all the different versions of myself you're the one who resembles me the most

Me, reading ORV: In what way? Because he is merciless and calculating? Because he is insane? Because he has lost all hope and doesn't care for his companions?

Me, reading Side Story: Oooooooh it's because he's a simp
