gillion tidestrider deserves to be viscerally horrifying more often. like he would tear a guy's throat out with his teeth if he were pushed far enough. he would have fun doing it too.

i wish we had gotten more of kugisaki nobara. i just watched dis vid and all my contained RAGE abt dis topic suddenly HIT ME LIKE A TRAIN GOD IM UPSET

ive talked like 32893882 times already (and its still NOT ENOUGH) abt how upset i was abt nobara's death cos she was such a good character, with so much potential!! i really REALLY liked her. she was funny, strong, confident and kind!!!! i loved her char design!! her cursed technique and weapon were cool as hell!!!!!!

and her (recently SOMEWHAT(?) confirmed(?)) death sucked so fucking much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

she was just. fucking fridged. as much as it pains me to admit it. from a narrative standpoint, she died so yuuji would get upset and further develop his character & then move the plot along. even mahito admits that he wants her to die to make yuuji suffer. like yeah he also recognizes her a strong opponent (ofc. cos she is) but at the end of the day he wanted to kill her just to wreck yuuji. and he succeded.

nobara has no say on the way she dies. she's just.. slapped, kinda. its so sudden. its so... weird. not that she's accepting of it (we already know that she knows she can die at any moment and she's ready for it (cos she's a freak like the rest of the sorcerers lol)), but its weird bc its like its not a personal moment for her. yeah we get a flashback & her speech about how, even tho she always was a person who refused to let other people affect the way she is and decides to live, there still are people who, by being accepting of her, managed to gain a place in her heart... and she's happy for that. its rly beautiful.

but its the impact her death has on yuuji what the story really cares about here.

and like. thats fine! im not even saying killing nobara is a bad choice or that its bad if her death also developed yuuji's character. but the way it was done, its like her death only had that purpose. its a way too transparent device, that's what i dislike abt it. i dont mind being upset bc a character i love dies? i like feeling strong emotions when i engage emotionally with art/stories.

but i think she was killed off too soon. we didn't get to properly say goodbye to her. both her character arc and her death were rushed.

she could have been developed so much more! it feels like she was taken away way too soon in the story. i wanted her to fight sukuna along the others. i wanted her to use her cool technique to help yuuji nail sukuna's soul. i wanted to see just how much stronger she could get. i wanted her to finally meet saori. I WANTED HER TO HAVE A COOL EYE PATCH!!!!!!!!!!!

why is she barely mentioned after she dies??? she was one of the 3 main, dude, are u kidding me? yuuji's the only one who mentions her but he's almost afraid of talking about her. its like the whole world forgot about her!!!!! and what about maki?????? werent they girlfriends?

what is nobara's LEGACY? why did gege not make her death matter in the narrative? even if she (for whatever reason) came back(??) at the end, id still be rly mad & sad abt it cos i wanted to see her DO STUFF!! i wanted to see her kick some ass!!!! i wanted to see her grow!!!!! to open up with others!!!!! I WANTED TO SEE MORE OF HER. IM SO UPSET I WANT OUT

There is something really beautiful about amazing authors who cannot for the life of them write a realistic ab*se scene. You read such absolutely heart wrenchingly realistic portions of how characters interact and love each other, how a mothers love can get you through hard times, how friends can make you stronger and feel more confident in yourself, how nature grows and bends to time, but then you get to a scene where one person acts deplorable, doing illegal acts or just simply demoralizing and immoral and the scene is just so, so bad.

And I don't mean like "hard to read because it makes you sad," I mean "hard to read because you know personally that that isn't how the mind of someone who would do these things works." Its made me stop reading fiction before because I simply have to step away, but for all the reasons I've closed a tab that has to be the one that makes me the happiest.

It makes me happy to see the innocence of someone who's only exposure to that kind of pain is through the lenses of the media they've consumed. I am happy to know there's still people who cant fathom both how it could happen or how it would feel to be there.

As much as I enjoy reading them, I wish that no one knew how to write painful, tragic scenes.

Hey man, I was doing some research for transmasc folks dealing with polycythemia and came across your post (this one tumblr.com/blackat-t7t/738252703648661505/cw-medical-talk-self-harm-mention-as-a-hyperbole?source=share) and I was wondering if you ever found a solution or experienced an improvement with this? I know at least one person has tried anti-allergy medicine with some effect, but polycythemia is one of my main concerns going on t (which is potentially on the horizon).

I really hope you are feeling better btw!

[link to original post, for reference]

Hey there. I'm not sure how helpful it will be, but I'll tell you my experience. I was able to find a solution in the past, but in the last year it stopped working.

I started T in 2016, and started having those symptoms about a year later. I also read that antihistamines helped, so I took benadryl as often as the label allowed. It helped but didn't eliminate the symptoms, and it wasn't really healthy to continue long-term. I also read that while polycythemia was most common in people taking injectable testosterone, it could also happen to cis men not on HRT, mainly when under massive amounts of stess. I ended up starting antidepressant/anti-anxiety medication and going off T for about a month. When I started my injections again, I had no more problems.

Until part way through 2023.

I was still taking the antidepressants, but under some major stress. At the time, I was putting 100% of my income towards 100% of rent for a 3 bedroom apartment, and dipping into my savings for everything else, with no support from the people I lived with. However, even after I moved into a much better situation, the symptoms continued.

I did have a blood test run looking for signs of autoimmune disorder, because I thought that if antihistamines helped it might be related. The initial test was out of range, but not any of the follow-up tests the lab automatically ran looking for specifics. I had ordered the test myself and didn't have a general doctor to suggest further tests or next moves, so that didn't really go anywhere.

For the last few month I've been taking my T shot only once every several weeks, instead of every week like I'm supposed to. The symptoms clear up after a few weeks, but come back when I do my next shot.

The last 2-ish months I've been changing my medication, cycling off the antidepressant and onto a mood stabalizer. I also started ADHD stimulants less than 2 weeks ago. I'm hoping all that will help lower my stress levels enough that I can go back to my regular dose of T, but I don't know yet.

Ultimately, the symptoms have such a negative effect on my quality of life, I've decided that if I can't find a way to permanently get rid of them, I'd rather go off testosterone entirely. In June I'll be exactly 8 years on T, and most of the changes I wanted (bottom growth, voice change, facial hair) won't be undone if I stop taking it (hell, it might even improve the bald spot!) My biggest concern is starting to menstruate again, but even that would be less distressing than the itching.

I'm sorry I don't have any more answers for you. For what it's worth, I've never heard anyone else talk about this, at least not with symptoms as bad as mine, so it must be a very rare side effect. I hope you're able to get whatever medical care you need to have the life you want.
