I AM FIGHTING FUCKING GOD THIS MORNING

[fullmetaldevil-blog]

It's officially been a solid year since I found myself rushing to urgent care for severe ankle pain from what I thought was a simple stumble over some material (aka I tripped). An injury I didn't think much about and neglected for a month and a half before seeking medical attention. Something I thought was small only to be told that not only had I sprained the hell out of my ankle, but there was also a free floating chunk of bone where it shouldn't be (likely broken off at the time of the sprain). Now a little a bit over a year later and am regrettably still feeling it.

As with any injury, there are good days and bad days, and that certainly applies to my left leg. For those unaware, I sustained a knee injury on my left leg that is 15 years old now. Then, to add on top of it, I now have the injury to my left ankle. The ankle now being a larger source of pain and limited range of motion. My left leg as a whole has been compromised, leaving me with times of somewhat unhindered mobity one minute, then severely reduced mobility the next.

In short: take care of yourselves folks. You have only one body, and if you mess it up, it may not necessarily go away. Don't neglect warning signs of bigger problems. What seems small at the moment can easily snowball into something far larger.

Hey so uh, never scratch or get a paper cut on your eyeball. Shit sucks. I'm in pain. I kinda aggressively grabbed my sticker sheet at work, the one that has all the sale price tags on it, but due to air and it being paper the paper curved straight into my eye. (I work in retail) If I look the wrong direction I'm fucked up for a solid minute. I do have eyedrops but this shit is awful.

the problem is that being single is seen as the consolidation prize, and not the natural neutral state of being-a-person. at the end of the movie or the book or the poetry, there is a person waiting for you at the altar, and they love you. if the play is a comedy, everyone gets married. the metaphor is about how you are not-whole. the metaphor is about how everyone is going to be happily-ever-after. the metaphor is that romantic love is the most important resource on the planet, not just all-love. all-love is not a thing, that is a disappointment. the treasure is not the friends we made along the way. the treasure is the girl you landed.

the metaphor is that you cannot be alone, that means you are broken. are you getting over someone? that is acceptable, you can be getting over someone, but not for long. you must be single because you would rather not be single. you must be single and looking to not-be-single. you must want to date, eventually.

friendship and community are never seen as being equal-to or even-better than romantic connection. that person is your one! you need to find them. you need to hunt through the sand particles until you can shift out some kind of gem. this is regardless to your own experience of the beach and the sun. you need to be somewhere with someone.

if you are taking this time alone to heal, that is so sad. everyone gives you this little pitying look. the understanding is that you are not actually happier than you were before you were single. it is seen as a sort of pity - oh, you are choosing yourself, making yourself the priority? - that isn't quite right. you must mean that you are making yourself ready for the right person. you are just laying the bed better this time. open up your heart. you'll find them, we promise!

what do you mean you're really-truly genuinely-very happy? you are probably misremembering what it was like to be in a relationship. and besides, once you meet your person, that time will look grey and bland and wasted. your person is the only way for you to see in color. so what if you have taken this time - for the first time in your entire life - to actually-for-real do the fucking work. you can be proud of yourself, sure. but the way we need to know that you got better is that you get a partner. you're healed enough for the next bad part!

people don't choose to be single, they just say they're choosing to be single - they actually mean "nobody wants to date me." it doesn't matter how many people you have gently rejected or how many times you've talked it over carefully in therapy. what matters is that you are single, and by all accounts - that means you are something worth our pity. your successes and life all seem pale in the sunlight. sure, you have done amazing things and finally found your way in life. what matters is that there wasn't a person in the room with you while you did it.

you want to tell them - that's the whole thing. i didn't know how to be alone in the room. i didn't know how to handle the silence. every moment was so sharp, and i kept choosing the wrong way to close the door. i have spent my entire life in the empty well, living in the ricochet of someone else's cruelty. for once i have built myself a ladder. for once everything i taste is all mine, every bite of sunshine and laughter. i have learned how to sleep out in the open with my memories. recently, they have started to purr.

your father rolls his eyes. listen. this isn't about you. i just want a grandchild in my future.

I drew the same comic twice because I didn't think the first one was funny enough. I don't know if the second comic is funnier though??

Here's both of them

Side by side because i couldn't decide which one to put first - knowing the punchline changes the experience?? pick your adventure. read either one first.

which ones funnier i honestly can't tell

First off this absolutely cursed AU was inspired by Lemonomelette and a post they made -X Secondly I imagine it all being about bots and cons trying to one up each others factions and not actually helping in any serious way because their too busy with their own faction bs.

Think of two rival car dealerships across the street one upping each other to get business and instead of business with cars its interstellar robot fairys trying to woo sm children to let them grant their inconsequential wishes (which may or may not be worth it) instead of the other guy next door.
