#tadhg talks to themself

[disast3rtransp0rt]

A guy I interviewed at work today "crossed me off his list" when I told him about my Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (we were talking about in-person vs. remote jobs and I mentioned I preferred remote due to my disability). I was incredibly confused for a few moments before he realized how rude and weird that sounded and half-shouted:

"Sorry!! I'm a biology and physiology major!!! You're an incredibly rare specimen and my friends will be jealous I talked with you!"

I almost snorted cause I certainly wasn't expecting that. And just to make his day told him, "Wanna know the best part? I did contortion with a travelling circus."

He legitimately squealed.

Sometimes working in HR is pretty fun.

IN THE NAME OF THE MOON!

Thank you to the boytoy for getting us tickets, and thank you to Robbie Daymond for being the sweetest celebrity ever. I appreciated the "girls' night" joke when I instinctually half-crouched for our group photo and the compliment on my shirt.

To @shou-jpeg Robbie says: "YES! This comic is so cool and the style is adorable! I love it!!"

Everything hurts both physically and existentially. So if you need me I will be laying facedown in the woods, slowly but happily getting consumed by moss.

So OP must have blocked me or turned off reblogs, but last week I had the following interaction with an RPF author (no shade to RPF authors who can behave like normal people btw, we're all in this together):

And as if like magic, Swell Entertainment made an excellent YouTube video regarding the very same subject:

I think she sums it up best when she says: "If you wanna write fanfiction about me, fine, but never include another real life person. Not even other YouTubers, I don't care if I'm friends with them, they did not consent."

This is about CONSENT. It always has been and always will be. Real people deserve real bodily autonomy, even within fandom. I've been writing fanfic since the late LiveJournal era (around 15-16 years at this point) and that's ALWAYS been the standard. Twitter really did ruin some peoples' understanding of boundaries and it's a damn shame.

Cool things about hEDS: When I was undiagnosed I got to work at a circus.

Sucky things about hEDS: My jaw just dislocated because Animal Cracker Too Crunchy, and now it hurts.

"Cool gender, where'd you get it?"

"Boss Chaikamon's trash can."

I suddenly remembered eagerly awaiting an ASMR recording of the original (Grimm-esque) Nutracker story by YouTube medical content creator Dr. James Gill. Maybe last year or the year before? I don't remember.

But it was so good and worth the wait despite being kinda random from a doctor. It's also become a cool sort of series on the channel where he reads classical literature between posting resources for med students. He’s built a nice blend of information and art in one community.

Idk where this was meant to go. I just really love seeing people enjoy their unexpected talents and be appreciated for sharing those talents. Even if that particular skill set doesn't "fit their brand" or whatever.

We gotta Decommodify joy. I'm begging.

I saw someone else do this and figured it's the perfect time to whip out my wild anime backstory.

Nobody:

Not a soul:

Not even Me:

My Brain at 2am: Remember when we saw Billy Idol in concert and everyone yelled "Get laid! Get fucked!" during the downbeats between lines in Mony Mony? That was fun. More concerts should have nifty secret lyrics that you add yourself.

I want to embroider something cool on the back panel of my late grandfather's old denim shirt but I don't know how to start.

Me, standing in the middle of my kitchen minding my own business:

My brain, slapping me violently across the face: ObiKin Miraculous Ladybug au even though you haven’t watched that show since season one.

[disast3rtransp0rt]
