victor kain chronic pain nation rise up (credit to @transdankovsky for this idea :-D)
/ id: two digital drawings. the first image shows victor kain and daniil dankovsky sitting together; daniil is taking victor’s pulse. inside a speech bubble above victor’s head is a screenshot of a question from the duolingo russian course, in which the sentence ‘я – хороший пациент, у меня всегда всë болит’ is translated as ‘i am a good patient, i always have pain everywhere’. the second image shows daniil looking politely horrified. end id. /

i love how every single month, around the same time, i think something cataclysmic is happening to my mental health and then i realize it's my period. so i probably don't need to be researching like, ketamine clinics, bc i'm fine. every single month this happens. like clockwork, i am gripped by panic over how depressed i suddenly feel. it's routine! and yet i never fucking remember that.

I have one friend who is usually the only person who ever actually calls me around this time so i didn't bother checking caller id so i just answered an unknown number by reciting the opening narration of the bee movie. They hung up

15. something you learned this year (while researching for a story)
Thank you!
So I opened Sunset to see when each chapter was posted because I did a ton of research for the earlier chapters, including watching all of Troy (2004) which I do not recommend under any circumstances, but this just ended up with me spending a good chunk of the day rereading Sunset and not answering your question at all.
Sadly, I didn't do much research for the chapters that were published this year. For Agua Caliente, I did look up the names of cactuses in Anza Borrego, and the names of the different camp grounds and various camping rules. I also looked up whether San Diego has eucalyptus trees (yes). I ended up on some incredibly unhinged smoothie sites and learned that smoothie people can be absolutely bonkers. Oh and I watched a bunch of videos about cat birth, ahahah.

lots of carefully written fics of civilian touya building a relationship with shouto, not enough of civilian touya finding a path of healing and deciding not to pursue a bond with his youngest sibling. nowhere near enough touya todoroki in so many words saying what amounts to "i've reached a place where i recognize that the pain and rage that i felt growing up comes from how endeavor treated us, and you bear no responsibility for it, and are, in fact, another victim of our father. i know that none of it is your fault. but i also cannot deny that looking at you makes me feel sick to my stomach. through no fault of your own, you are a reminder of a past where i was constantly angry and helpless and in pain. i do not hate you, but i have no love for you either. i have no desire to be your brother at this point in my life. for my own well-being, i am leaving this house and i am never coming back and i will probably never see you again. i hope you find some sort of peace from all the abuse our father has put you through. goodbye."

I first read and watched FMA in grad school while involved in a riled up graduate student government and watching multiple rounds of undergrad student government undergo scandals which is probably why I developed a very intricate college student government AU with just as much drama and betrayal. Now that I am involved in college governance as an employee I realize I undersold the drama actually.
Anyway as I continue my reread I am going to be incredibly self indulgent and post about this AU because a) I think it's hilarious and b) I need something to distract me from the pain suffering and indignity of having braces again.
