Me constantly sick from 20-25

Yeah, accurate

There's a bunch of adhd advice out there that's like "people with adhd tend to work better under deadlines due to the anxiety so here are ways to artificially induce a stress response in order to get you to get work done" and it's like well what if I don't want to be stressed out all the time in order to function

This! And that's why it's gonna hurt like hell when his inevitable betrayal comes in, especially regarding his desperation to free his soul.

I like to think Alastor does want to help Charlie with her dreams genuinely. It's clear that he has ulterior motives and doesn't actually believe in redemptjon, of course, but if you look at the things he actually does for Charlie and the way he talks he clearly does care more for the Hotel and its residents than he cares to admit.

He was willing to go out of his comfort zone and create a video commercial, even when he explicitly said multiple times he does not like television and doesn't like being on camera, just so Charlie wouldn't be upset

He actively protected the Hotel on multiple occasions, and while it's technically his job to do so, he didn't have to then help with the cleanup or step up to protect them as much as he did

When Mimzy, a dear friend of his and one of the few loved ones he had left from when he was alive, brought danger to the Hotel's doorstep he hadn't even hesitated to kick her out. Even going so far as to tell her that he "can't" have the shenanigans she brings to his life at the hotel.

When Adam attacked, he didn't hesitate to fight against him. Call it hubris if you want, Alastor isn't an idiot. He had to have known that he wasn't stronger than Adam. Yet he still stood his ground and only retreated when he was mortally wounded.

He verbally stated, twice, in the Finale that he was developing a fondness for the Hotel and its inhabitants. Both before the battle and during his breakdown.

He had every opportunity to abandon Charlie and the Hotel once the threat of the extermination came knocking on their door. Vaggie said it herself, she would not have blamed anyone if they had left the hotel during that time. I believe that includes Alastor. Alastoe may be an Overlord, but there's plenty of evidence both in the series and pilot that most Overlords are just as afraid of the Exorcists as the average demon and even though Alastor knew they could be killed, he did not know how.

Instead of abandoning Charlie he helped her find a solution, supported her through Cannibal Town, and when given the opportunity to gain the soul of the Princess of Hell for his collection he instead chose to ask for a favor.

Multiple people who are close to Alastor, Mimzy in particular, describe him as being a sweetie. We see it in the way he interacts with Mimzy, Rosie, and Nifty as well as how they themselves describe him

Basically, Alastor is secretly a softy who loves his friends but refuses to let anyone else know because Ew, Feelings!!

I love this talk about how much Charlie swings back and forth between being angry and remorseful. Also, Rosie being such a kind and understanding character makes me excited to see more of her! It makes me wonder if she would've taken care of Frank when he snuck in.

I FINALLY CAN AUTOMATICALLY FILTER OUT AO3 TAGS ON MOBILE

Only works for android, sorry ios users

Tutorial here

The extensions I'm using are AO3 enhancements to help filter out fics with many fandoms tagged and ao3rdr which can filter out words (I use this to block the word RPF for example)

Please, for the love of god, please don’t be this person. No matter how long it’s been since an update, no matter how many unfinished stories are sitting on their account, no matter what - do not be this person.

Not only is it insanely rude, but you also do more damage than you think be being such a self-entitled ass about something someone created for free and for fun. “This author” can see what you say.

RIP decency indeed.

I'm a bit tired of people calling asexuality 'not a big deal.'

Here's the thing, I never thought it was a big deal either. I didn't have a big angsty coming out about being aro or being ace. It was difficult in a sense to think of the future I'd imagined for myself not coming true, but I didn't mourn that future. I was happy that there were others out there feeling what I was feeling and going through what I was going through.

But it's become a big deal. It's become a big deal because as I have grown older, I have realised the future is still fucking blurry. I have no idea what to expect from it. Society was not built for those who do not or cannot follow its rules. I've realised just how MUCH people say aphobic stuff on a daily basis. I feel constantly othered by comments that carelessly remind us we are out of the majority. That remind us again and again that we are NOT the norm and will never BE the norm. I rarely see myself on TV and in books and in movies. People feel weird about it, so they just never bring it up like an unspoken secret. I'm constantly doubted and told I'm mistaken about my own identity, which causes anxiety and self doubt so many years later. People make a variety of assumptions about me and tell me it's 'sad' and I'm 'missing out.'

It's not just about 'not having sex.' It's about feeling like you're the only one at a concert that doesn't know the words. it about society making you feel like you're just a little bit off. My sexuality/romantic identity doesn't define me. I don't WANT it to be a big deal.

But it is. It is a big deal because all of you make it a big deal.

about a month ago, my uncle asked if I had a significant other. I appreciate his gender inclusivity, of course.

I'm used to the question. it's not like it's something outrageous that he's asking. so I simply said no, that's not for me.

he looked at me and said "well, someday." not someday maybe, just.... someday.

of course I'm not quick to anger, but there's a part of me that's a little more defensive about my aroace identity. so I jumped to my defense.

my uncle isn't a bad guy, he's quite nice and tries his best to be respectful in the current political shit storm by supporting queer people. but apparently that does exclude me, an aroace.

I reiterated that I'm just not interested in a romantic or sexual partnership, and I really do not ever see that changing.

and he said something to the effect of "it's okay if you don't want that now."

and I said, "no, it's just okay that I don't want that."

and he said that I was pessimistic. as if I was secretly searching for a relationship or a partner, but was rejecting love because I could not find one.

I calmly (with all the rage in my veins) told him "no, a life without love or sex is something optimistic for me."

he had the gall to look horrified.

I'm sick of aroace people not being seen as normal human people when they don't want the outcome of their life to look like everyone else's. I'm sick of the white picket fence, I'm sick of the assumption that everyone has another half out there.

I'm whole on my own.
