The Surprising Truth About Showering as We Age

Hey there! Have you ever stopped to think about something as simple as showering? It’s one of those everyday things we do without much thought—hop in, wash up, and off we go. But here’s a little twist: as we get older, showering might not be the same old routine it once was. And that’s okay! Today, I’m going to share some surprising facts and easy tips about showering as we age. It’s not just…

Me, Yesterday: I should write a '5 times Margo and Sergei went to bed together (g-rated)' story. Nah. No one wants to read just domestic fluff.

Y'all, commenting on Convenience today...

Increasingly tempted to make some sort of Komaeda autism meta since I keep discussing his diagnoses with people and like the autistic Komaeda HC (comorbid with, not instead of FTD). I relate a lot to the symptoms he has that overlap with my own nonsense, but I'm looking through the ICD-11 criteria right now and I think he actually doesn't meet a bunch of them. It'd be fun to do a point-by-point analysis at some point.

Okay so old timey people didnt shower every day and didn't wash their hair all the time but they were still clean. Like they were obsessed with the idea of bad smells causing disease. And like. They didnt have perfume showers and call it a day, like... They still cleaned themselves and were clean. So what am i getting at. Let me cook. Walk with me. What if being chronically ill and disabled didnt mean that your self care had to fall by the wayside and that you had to languish in being dirty etc. what if you employed historical self care techniques in order to be able to then do things like wash your hair or shower less frequently and still be clean. What if you could have it both ways.

i feel like the original series was red guy centered, the first season was for yellow guy, and i am BEGGING AND PRAYING that season 2 will be more about duck!! i will probably cry if anything happens to him though lol 💀 everytime writers break a comic relief character i just OUGSHGS.. it gets me.

h well I don't think you're wrong about that! Webseries being Red Guys time to shine, S1 of the TV show being for Yellow (esp the last two episodes I think? Even thought outside of that, he does get a lot of focus/he IS the one who talks to the audience the most directly). From what I remember hearing, the pilot was pretty Duck-centered.

But I think even if he GETS his big moment in the sun, so to speak, it's NOT going to be as emotional as the other twos. On top of him just not being a very um… let's say sentimental character, he's just not the make-you-cry type! It's just not him imo!

IDK, I operate under the opinion that… in his weird little head, the most important thing that he values over everything is keeping the three of them together. Both because he thinks of them as a weird little family AND because he really doesn't have anyone else outside of the trio. We also know from the interview, and you could maybe argue from the Family episode ( Who do you love?/Anyone who loves me back., I asked every member of my family who they loved the most, and they all said me ) that being loved is something that he actually values QUITE a bit! More than you would assume on first glance! He's weirdly upfront about it haha!

In that way, I imagine that if they were to TRY to pull something to put him in the spotlight in the way you're imagining (i.e. something emotional and focusing on his issues like they did with Yellow & Red) it would either focus on his desire to be loved OR his dedication to keeping the three of them together. But I would argue they both already did that in the Family episode AND put him through the worst case-scenario in regards to those more emotional aspects of his character ( here I think the worst case scenario to him is the other two rejecting him, harshly, unambiguously and to his face, multiple times and the three of them separating ). AND THE THING IS… THAT ALREADY HAPPENED! THAT DIDN'T BREAK HIM!

He had his little pout over it in his dress and was like FINE! I DON'T NEED THEM ANYWAYS! So, I really don't think that big "character-breaking" moment is coming. If the Family ep didn't get him I honest to God don't think there's anything else the house could throw at him that could get under his skin.

sometimes i like to hc young trevanion with a superbly terrible bowl cut. like ages infant through 20 anytime he needed a trim he'd go home and his mum would get the bowl out. he just walked around like that his whole life. and bartolina still fell in love with him

Rethinking Routines: Creating a Life You Don’t Want to Skip

Daily writing promptWhat part of your routine do you always try to skip if you can?View all responses What Part of My Routine Do I Try to Skip?

Vincent, did you met Sun/Moon? If so, what do you think about them?

Hm.. I think Vince has maybe met them once or twice during maintenance work. He immediately thought they'd be a walking lawsuit by themselves but figured they just weren't properly transferred to daycare stuff considering how aggressive Moon comes off, surprisingly Moon and Vince get along great while Vince can't handle Sun's energy in the morning, especially without some coffee.

is it fucked up and silly of me to say that this change in season is triggering my homesickness again and making me feel like all the progress I’ve made is gone

Genuine question for neurodivergent people out there:

I’ve been trying to figure out if I’m autistic/neurodivergent or not, and recently had more friends (who are on the spectrum) tell me that they assumed I was too. So it’s made me want to look into it again. I exhibit some traits (stimming, hyperfixations, infodumping, and some sensory sensitivities, plus a history with anxiety. Also a ton of my friends that I feel the most comfortable and happy with are neurodivergent), but have never felt like I have major issues with socializing or eye contact? If anything I feel pretty advanced at socializing. I was a gifted kid and am pretty socially aware, and and AFAB girl (so I know that could contribute to high masking). I know autism is a huge spectrum so everyone is different, but I wanted to know more about other peoples experiences since that seems to be a major commonality that I don’t relate to.

Long winded way of saying if you want to interact with this post in replies or my ask box, I’d super appreciate other peoples perspectives!

It’s nothing crazy he’s followed about 2-3 new girls the past 2 weeks?? and we know it’s just gonna end with him just unfollowing them within the next couple business days 🥱
