PTN SPOILER PTN CN SPOILER ATTIRE YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

*inhale* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OH MY GOODNESSS A HANDESOME KNIGHT IM CRYIN-

[emberglowfox]

looooove blacking out on staircases because me saying “i can’t do that, i’m going to throw up and black out” in response to being told that we’re going on a upstairs hike is apparently me being lazy and trying to get out of things

and then people are appalled and embarrassed when exactly what i said would happen happens. and then somehow it’s my fault, like me publicly throwing up in front of a bunch of joggers is my idea of a cheeky prank and good time

I love that Star Trek tos props come in one of two flavours: Nightmare fuel like this cunty handsome squidward mask that scorched itself into my child-brain when I was 5

Or Dick Rock

hang on, chengyao fake-dating for whatever reason would be fucking hilarious

well 😔 after literally 3+ years of masking and double masking with N95s and KN95s and social distancing and not going anywhere where i can't be assured i won't be in close proximity to someone with COVID ya boy got COVID , , , ,

miffed that there was kind of zero sympathy for my girl hyangi and that they ended it with a silly thesis about "living for oneself" like girl what about the capitalism. but aside from that pretty good ending and really well-written series overall. I love that every new development feels connected to past plot points and it didn't feel like they were just making new stuff up as they go. Also love that they didn't just forget about sanyoung's disability and they actually end it with her coming to terms with it, that was so so nice. Hyangi is still the most sympathetic and well-developed character for me though 🤷‍♀️

I think it's really funny when fundies are also super into the crunchy lifestyle like bestie your whole system is based on a dude with magical powers born from a virgin you can take a tylenol and stop feeding your infant raw milk now

Thinkin about the POTS episode I had at a weed shop once like 5 years ago (well before I knew i had it. I thought i was just dehydrated) in which I passed out in the arms of the cute desk clerk who actually happened to also be an EMT and he knew I was passing out well before I did.

I remember sweating and being embarrassed because of how bad I was struggling to get my sweater off, couldn't stand straight, I was slurring my words and not fully understanding him. Last thing I remember was him deadass leaping over the desk after asking me if I needed to sit down (really hot of him). I'm quite sure he caught me because when I fall I definitely feel it later

It's a super humiliating disability to have but he definitely knew how to make it easier and feel less awful. I was halfway through my sweater when I went down but it was folded next to me and he was holding a cup of water for me until I came to. He was really wholesome and just left the desk and sat with me, tried to make me feel normal about it and distract me from people's wandering eyes and was just really chill. I don't think I was out for more than a few seconds but I definitely would've eaten shit if anyone else was helping me check out. Most people would not in fact jump over the counter to make sure a guy they don't know didn't crack his head open. But he's probably seen horrible things happen to people who didn't have someone there to catch them

I hope he's doing well, I was way too out of it to remember his name but I remember him being really chill and funny, being lighthearted about it to cheer me up. I'd smoke a bowl with him idk. He seemed like such a genuinely good person, didn't go back to his shift until he was sure I'd be okay and even then told me to take my time and call him over if I needed anything (dispensaries are often very particular making sure you're in and out and control the amount of people in there at once). Told me how I should breathe, how I should sit, and it's stuff I do when I have POTS episodes to this day

I've been feeling really anxious for a number of reasons lately and all I can think about sometimes is how badly I just wish I could feel my butch's arms around me, how just their presence helps those thoughts disappear and me feel settled once again. If I could just rest my head on their chest for a minute, I'd be ok again.

You should definitely tell people that you have blood pressure issues that make you passout if they're being angry, but if that doesn't work, you are under no obligation to tell random angry people the truth, tell them you have hear issues and your heart will give out if you don't sit when you need to.

Your safety is more important than honesty to random mean angry people.

Oh I absolutely do tell them when people are being jerks. I mean, most of the time, I just say I have heart issues and don't clarify if I have to say anything at all, but if they are being especially awful I'll launch onto a medical jargon-filled explanation while looking as like small and sad as possible. Like "sorry, I have ideopathic tachycardia and postural orthostatic hypotension, and the cerebral salt wasting syndrome makes it worse."

turns out i never watched the last two episodes of lockwood and co [the series] and WOW I HATE NETFLIX EVEN MORE!!! THAT WAS THE BEST FUCKING SHIT IN THE WORLD AND THEY CANCLE IT

[angelnumber27]

not being able to breathe is one of the most terrifying things ever

[dreamsb0u]

I’m tired.

[thetomorrowshow]

ayo how are we feeling about that person in the fh tag on ao3 who posted a rant attacking folks for "romanticizing trauma"

[boag]

Update I’m getting another albuterol treatment rn and then they’re gonna send me home . Basically it turns out that I definitely have asthma like my mom and that’s why a simple cold is being so hard on my respiratory system and also why it’s taking longer for me to recover from it than it would take a healthier person 😭 gonna try and find a new primary care doctor so I can stay on top of the asthma and make sure I have an inhaler at all times… and I wanna try and get some help to quit smoking as well… thank u all for being sweet thru this and giving me advice it rlly helped having extra ppl to talk to ❤️❤️❤️

Dad: “You’ve never consistently walked every day how do you know it wouldn’t help?” (my chronic fatigue and perceived laziness for only doing as much as I need to and no more)

Me: “I literally walked (up the steep ass hill leading to our neighborhood) every day with 30 lbs of textbooks on my back for 7 years.”

Dad: “And you had more energy and were 100lbs lighter back then! See it works!”

like literally 1. no, I definitely did not. there’s (many) reasons I didn’t do homework and was failing every class bc of it, and a lack of energy was a big one. 2. lmao I gained like 30 lbs since I got out of high school if he really thinks it was 100 he’s deluding himself. 3. i only did all of that because i literally had no other choice. what was I going to do as someone who has a massive fear of punishment (in large part because of him), not go to school? skip class and get treated even worse? this is the man that cut off my access to running water for like 12 hours as punishment once. i can’t believe i ever thought that shit was normal
