wait are people really saying buck *wouldn’t* do keto? this is the same guy who was obsessively measuring his body fat percentage in the first two seasons, who clearly works out a lot (and you don’t look like that eating ‘poorly’ without monitoring you diet). I know he likes cooking and seems to favour pasta dishes, but come on, buck would absolutely try different diet/workout plans. I’m not saying that’s necessarily a good thing, and maybe I’m just projecting here, but buck having body image issues and trying out fad diets feels very in character to me

lol i think it just kinda goes with the general fandom tendency to make characters perfectly adhere to their own worldview. like WE know keto is for dumb fitness influencers, therefore Buck would NEVER do it.

but in fact buck is the EXACT type of person who would be susceptible to the dumb fitness influencers 😔 and we must accept this about him & love him anyway 😔😔😔

Some people really gotta learn that other people being happy is not a crime.

For all my talk about Labour not being worth voting for this election, my candidate is a member of the Socialist Campaign Group so I will be voting for them, because a stronger left of the Labour Party is worth voting for. Remember you're electing an MP, not the prime minister.

Me already sweating because social cues are hard to read. And I'm a dumbass.

Mmhhh gotchu especially if you read it it can be tough. Some ROs will be easier to read than others. And I will also add POVs for the ROs so that you get some better hints and insight.

Que?

mmmmmmmm sad

i was really excited about my CoS game yesterday but a few of the players seem to be very fixated on getting to the next combat/room they can steal stuff from? and getting annoyed when my character expresses caution? I got interrupted once or twice while looking through some of the lore-related stuff or while trying to find an alternative means of doing something besides "charging right in." Like, not just the character taking off to do their own thing - the player interrupted me to tell the DM that we were going down a hallway. Like. Okay.

we were told this was going to be a roleplay/exploration/mystery heavy game and I'm feeling like that's only fine if it fits in the span of six minutes. And so now it feels like I'm the one making the problem.

some brief tumblr meta analysis: a lot of responses to the "but are you normal about x, y, and z?" post format take issue with it on the fact that normal is not equivalent to good, respectful, or moral. this is true and a good point. i think people writing those posts know that though, even if they haven't consciously considered it; what this phrasing attempts to establish is not the normalcy of wider society but the baseline of social conduct expected in this particular setting. to post or reblog it signals to one's friends and followers that they may be judged for failing to meet this standard of conduct, even if it would be a 'normal' occurrence outside of whatever small tumblr social circle we're operating in.

it's a lot like critiques of the DNI which fail to recognize the social function it can serve beyond the obvious ineffectiveness of hanging a sign on your door telling racists to go away, assuming all racists will identify themselves and comply, which is to signal the DNI owner's stances and maybe to present yourself as 'safe' for certain demographics. i do think there are better ways to go about getting whatever message you're trying to get across than borrowing the normal=moral thing, but the impulse to frame it this way is revealing of how shame as a social force functions in general

I just got to the Alex's sendoff ep and I'm feeling all sorts of things and I love him, I do, he grew so much and I'm so mixed about how they chose to make him go but all the while I'm thinking 1) Izzie is still my babygirl and she's never done anything wrong ever in her life, I'm happy she's happy but sad it had to come at his and jos expense, and 2) I'm mad Alex got a proper (ish) sendoff, mixed and controversial as it was, while Callie got like 2 scenes, a humiliating defeat and practically no one caring that she left at all, or the circumstances in which she did. I'm so mad callie had practically no one in the end for her, her platonic soulmate was gone and her marriage was done and even her daughter was technically gone, her relationship with penny lacked substance and she just barely had mer? no other friendships to speak of?? There's not even passing comments about her as a doctor, not even when the Ortho head position was presumably open for a good while. God, Callie deserved better, I shout from the fucking rooftops every time I think about this show

peeta will lie with the straightest face on the national tv about his unrequited love's pregnancy not consulting it with a single person in his PR, damage management team, and the love interest beforehand, and I love him for that. this is the ideal I want to aspire to.

having some sort of chronic pain and tiredness issue and joint problems and whatnot but not knowing exactly what the problem is is really good at leading you feeling like you're faking it or making a big deal out of nothing or making it up. especially if there's a good day where it's not as bad and you can walk straight without limping for the first time in a year. but then you can wake up the next day and can barely walk and wonder why you can't just walk normal. it's hard to not guilt trip yourself into dealing with pain by trying to ignore it and force yourself to walk "normal" all the time
