#I wish it were different

[beargyufairy]

In my defense, I have none

For never leaving well enough alone

But it would've been fun

If you would've been the one

[askcupcrossovers]

sorry guys. hiatus

The ask box is now closed.

I sadly no longer hold the same love in my heart for Cuphead, this blog will now be going on a TEMPORARY HIATUS

An explanation for why i'm doing this under the cut

TW/CW FOR EATING DISORDER. PASSING OUT. INSOMNIA. HEAVY AMOUNTS OF STRESS ETC

I've been way too stressed with the amount of asks in my ask box.

My motivation has been drained to the point where I try to get something done and fall asleep or pass out trying. I almost always end up staring at the wall with guilt at not getting anything done and for working myself to the point where this happens.

It's also not helping my depression, eating disorder or my insomnia, yes, I love to create, but I can't just work all of the time.

I often try getting an ask done but get distracted halfway through and then work myself even harder for hours at a time, trying to make up for it.

many of these times I've forgotten to eat for sometimes up to a few days.

I have enough stuff going on at home, at school, I have too much schoolwork to keep up with.

I apologize for all of this.

Until we meet again

so excited for the people on Twitter who are bashing the warrior nun fandom for no good reason and saying “they’re all like in their 30s, get a job” to reach their thirties and be told not to enjoy the things they enjoy. truly bonkers that we have this idea that once you pass a certain age, you can no longer have fun. also they are all of a specific fandom that just screams under 20… and I’ll let y’all have a guess at that

UGH I WANT TO WRITE BUT MY BRAIN HAS UGLY THOUGHTS IN IT AND NOT THE GOOD ONES THAT I NEED TO WRITE MY FICS…

(more under the cut, but yeah…. I’m really having a tough time.)

I basically feel very old gross fat ugly unlovable right now and to write that Billy Knight or Eddie Munson loves me is difficult to picture - never mind articulate.

I wouldn’t believe either of them should they try to convince me otherwise.

I hate this feeling and I have to wait until it goes away before I can write again.

I even tried reading some of my old fic to find inspiration/comfort there.

Nope. Still feel like I’m too old, undesirable, and unwanted.

I wish this gloom would lift.

But right now, I feel like any Joseph Quinn character (or even his RPF version) would take one look at me and laugh.

Silly fat old lady. Not one of us wants you. How dare you have dreams.

Sigh… another wasted weekend.

She marinated in the grief of lost friendships, longing to escape the weight of it all.

Ghosts seemed to surround her.

People still present, yet distant.

Visible, but untouchable.

She couldn’t bear it any longer, yearning for a different way of life.

“You don’t get to mourn me! When I was alive, you didn’t care, but now you profess love over my corpse. You couldn't spare me a single glance then, yet now you can't tear your eyes away."

oops not me comparing every sci fi show to the superior expanse

[teacher-with-bad-handwriting]

I binged Lost because a cute guy in my speech class I was talking to did a presentation about his favorite show

I watched all of Game Theory on YouTube cuz my Tinder match said he was obsessed with it

I know about Dwarven Forge because I listened to my first boyfriend talk about what he played

I have been to so many sporting events because my man wanted to do something “we could both enjoy”

No one’s ever watched my favorite movie with me

No one’s ever read my fan fiction when I told them what I do for fun

No one’s ever taken an interest in my hobbies to get to know me better…

Only during heartbreak I can write.

reminder that the only reason the "ADHD is actually demigod BATTLE STRATEGIES" and "dyslexia is DEMIGOD BRAINS HARDWIRED FOR ANCIENT GREEK" things exist in the PJO universe is because it's a very direct reference to early 2000s teaching/parenting techniques for neurodiverse and disabled children, which aimed to frame childrens' disabilities and hardships as a "superpower" or strength so that the children would feel more positively about their disabilities or situations. This technique has fallen out of favor since then for the most part since more often than not it just results in kids feeling as though their struggles are not being seen or taken seriously.

Yes, demigods are adhd/dyslexic (and sometimes autistic-coded) in the series. This is extremely important and trying to remove it or not acknowledge it makes the entire series fall apart because it is such a core concept. Yes, canon claims that their adhd/dyslexia is tied to some innate abilities, which is based on an outdated methodology. It's important to acknowledge that and understand where it comes from! But please stop trying to apply it to other pantheons in the series like "oh, the romans have dyscalculia because of roman numerals!" or "the norse demigods have dysgraphia for reasons!" - it's distasteful at best.

A better option is to acknowledge the meta inspiration for why that exists in the series, such as explaining potentially that Chiron was utilizing that same teaching methodology to try and help demigods feel more comfortable with their disabilities and they aren't literal powers. In fact, especially given Frank, there's implication that being adhd/dyslexic isn't a guaranteed demigod trait, which means it's more likely to be normally inherited from their godly parent/divine ancestor as a general trait, not a power, and further supports the whole "ADHD is battle strategy" thing being non-literal. It also implies the entire greco-roman pantheon in their universe is canonically adhd/dyslexic - and that actually fits very well with the themes of the first series. The entire central conflict of the first series fits perfectly as an allegory about neurodiverse/disabled children and their relationships with their undiagnosed neurodiverse/disabled parents and trying to find solutions together with their shared disability/disabilities that the kid inherited instead of becoming distant from each other (and this makes claiming equivalent to getting a diagnosis which is a fascinating allegory! not to mention the symbolism of demigods inheriting legacies and legends and powers from their parents and everything that comes with that being equivalent to inheriting traits, neurodiversity, and disabilities from your parents).

anyways neurodiversity and disability and the contexts in which the series utilizes representation of those experiences particularly during the 2000s symbolically within the narrative is incredibly important to the first series and the understanding of what themes it means to represent. also if i see one more "the romans have dyscalculia instead of dyslexia" post in 2023 i'm gonna walk into the ocean.
