i would kill for the confidence of novelists who write genius-poet characters and then actually write samples of the “genius” poetry in the book. if i were a novelist writing a genius-poet i’d just be like “trust me, the poetry’s real good.”
At 50 notes I try to drink at least 2 cups of water a day.
at 75 notes i eat two actual meals a day (lunch doesn't make sense, ok?)
at 100 notes, I ask my friends or family to ask me before physical contact (not both!!!)
at 500, I explain my gender identity to my grandparents
at 1000, I promise to ask a friend for help if I'm having a depressive episode. (if you get it here, I will personally come after ya'll with a knife)
at 2500, I tell my parents when I'm having a depressive episode
at 5000, I tell my therapist mayyyybe I should get tested for depression
at 100000000 I ask my therapist for an autism evaluation (I will fuck ya'll up if you get it here its not possible ha)
Edit: y’all may notice I changed it to therapist. Due to a few recent developments (aka my parents are ableist zionist shitholes) it would be pretttttty unsafe for me to do that. So uh. Yeah. Sorry!!!
Edit 2: YOU DID IT. YOU FUCKING DID IT. HOW. FUCKING GOD. JFKDIVKNGRBHJVIJDFKSN *SCREAMS*. NICE TIMING LOL I THINK IM HAVING A DEPRESSIVE EPISODE FUCKING GOD HOW JUST BGHFVDNUJNCJDKSNDCJNDKMSL YOU ARE INSANE YOU ARE INSANE *SCREAMS AGAIN* YALL ARE SUPERHUMANS FUCKING GOD
sorry we put your morally complex black female character in a fandom. yeah they're vilifying her for making difficult decisions under severe duress. yeah no it's too late, they're already writing porn about the random white guy with 30 seconds of screentime who did all the same bad stuff that she did but for worse reasons. yeah. yeah no. not really anything we can do at this point. sorry
Ok now the actual thing I've been working on GOD
SO THE RISE COMIC RIGHT. Future Raph having these huge fucking spikes towering over his head implies they grow, but in the show two of them have flat edges. SO I WAS LIKE,,, DOES THAT MEAN HE FILES THEM DOWN??? DOES HE NOT LIKE HAVING ALL SHARP EDGES SO HE TRIES TO MAKE THEM FLAT AT ALL TIMES?? Is it bc he doesn't want to look scary?? Do they poke his brothers when they climb on his shell or throw their arms around him when they're sharp so he has them flattened to avoid hurting them??? Those are the ones where they'd be in the most contact with,,,
I then got silly with it and went hog. Animation. OUGH. Enjoy

Hello Tumblr!
I'm Jabbage, I'm making a game called the Beekeeper's Picnic. You play retired Sherlock Holmes trying to assemble the perfect picnic for Watson and solving cosy mysteries! Since this is Tumblr I need to tell you that you can decide the direction the relationship between Holmes and Watson will take - friends? found family? Queerplatonic partners? Romantic partners? Also there's a dog and you can tell him he's a good good boy. You can play an extended demo for free, and the game is currently funding on Kickstarter. Thanks for checking out my project! <3]
Check out the Kickstarter & Demo here!
You can follow this account for game updates, and reblogging super dooper appreciated!
I'm writing a bigger post about my experience with the new PT yesterday (my head's still full of fog), but aside from being a generally positive experience where my pain was kept to a minimum and she let me guide the intensity of the session, it was also a relief to finally be around someone who understood EDS and wasn't afraid to explicitly roll her eyes at the gatekeeping that goes on with diagnosing people.
We talked briefly about how POTS isn't officially in my health partners file because I "don't meet the criteria" (diagnosis requires a change in the heartbeat of over 30bpm. Mine presented as 29 the one time they tested me while I wasn't in a flare. lol, lmao even.)
But specifically, we were talking about how I don't always present as typically EDS either because I've grown increasingly stiff in parts of my body, and without missing a beat, she said, "Of course you are; pain stiffens the body. It's an inflammatory response."
Like it was the most obvious thing to her and not something I'd need to hedge my way around explaining lest I become An Annoying Patient.
She then went on to detail how a lot of patients referred to her by rheumatology for fibromyalgia are actually hypermobile and are likely good candidates for hEDS screening, but because they're "stiff," they're being missed. But it's not like you, a lowly PT, know better than a rheumatologist (who shouldn't really be diagnosing EDS because it's not a rheumatic disorder), so the patient goes on not getting the full extent of the help they need.
And I remember how it was taking everything in me at that moment to just not to just cry with relief because oh my god. You. You get it.
