Important.

Life as I know it is over.

I'm not going to be able to live at home anymore. My grandparents are basically going to disown me now and I won't even get to live with my aunt anymore, but I don't know when that's going to happen. Possibly in February, possibly sooner.

I don't even remember what I said in 2023 when the cops took me down to the station, but I was recorded and apparently what I said is enough to convict my grandpa in addition to what my sisters said. So, my grandparents now definitely hate my guts. My grandma is the only person I ever greatly respected and loved in this family, and she now hates me. Apparently I had "lied" about saying that I didn't say anything when I remember fucking telling them that I don't remember what I said and I wasn't even allowed to go visit them at all, so now they're also going to be in trouble for that + my aunt thinks she's getting in trouble too for allowing it.

Nobody in my family wants to take me. My aunt no longer wants me living here because she claims she does not have the room, even though she has both an attic and a basement, and I know for a fact my mom lived in that basement before, so it's not like it's unsafe. My aunt will be taking me over to the house tomorrow to clean my ferret's cage and clear my room. I'm never going to get my babies back either.

There's a chance I will be sequestered for court, and I have no idea what that entails. My aunt was discussing with someone she knows about getting me committed to a hospital/mental health ward because APPARENTLY that will get me a social worker or something along that nature, plus an evaluation to see if I qualify for anything, in order to get me to a halfway home/assisted housing.

I asked about what would happen with my job since I know that a lot of people wind up losing their jobs since you can be held from weeks to months, and she didn't tell me if this would be an involuntary or a voluntary commitment. She said its "up to your boss" if I kept my job or not. Because fuck me I guess! I know I didn't matter but this feels like a new low.

I also got what I feel was a beratement of "if something was going on why didn't any of you tell CPS, or the therapists, or Grandma, or anyone else-" as if the first time shit happened with another family, I tried doing JUST that and was never believed and treated horribly for it. And of course even now, everyone is siding with grandpa.

I have no idea what's going to happen from here. I don't even know when any of this is going to kick off. If I ever disappear for a long time, you'll know why. I'm going to start packing my things tonight just in case they try to spring the rest of this shit on me unexpectedly because nobody ever tells me anything.

I will still try to remain active for as long as possible online.

In totk when ganondorf is like "haha yes... Yeet the molduga at them" can the molduga even... Move through the ground in Hyrule? Like imagine the molduga getting out of the desert and they just start galumphing like seals

Like they swim through sand. Hyrule is rocks. That's rocks down there, or at least tightly packed dirt just absolutely chock full of roots and such.

Pictured: a molduga coming to fucking get you but you're in Hyrule where there's no sand for it to swim through

But as my friends in the science department assure me, correlation does not imply causation. “Past performance is not a predictor of future results,” as the old saying goes. We can’t assume a cause-and-effect relationship just because two events are obviously totally related.

btw if youre young and scared of doing adult things without your parents ive learned that like 90% of the time you can just tell the doctors office or the dmv "haha sorry ive never done this without help before... can you show me how to do this?" the employee will not care. if that means anything to you

I am begging you. Please learn about stress/discomfort tolerance. Practice raising it. You need this to survive. If someone online can ruin your day with a throwaway comment, you desperately need to understand discomfort tolerance and consciously, systematically build that shit.

Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!

Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.

No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.

It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.

Letting your discomfort dictate your actions and beliefs about things is a great way to become a terrible person. Learn. Discomfort. Tolerance.

Love me a character that goes "Don't just internalize your trauma. Externalize it. Make your trauma everyone else's problem. Murder some guys about it maybe. And whatever you do, never ever stop being interpersonally unpleasant to be around."

Give me a bitch that sucks and I'm all over them.

Most non-Minnesotans have no idea what this means, but to put it plainly: we're raised with not just the expectation but essentially -programming- to assist others who get stuck during the winter. We'll help people we'd otherwise punch on sight if they're stuck in the snow and ice, for zero reward.

This is the level of rage we're at with ICE. I'm not joking to say it's almost physically painful to not help someone stuck like that, and it's worth it because the people stuck are ICE.

The only way we have to express how mad we are above this is channeling the First Minnesota all over again.

The Scandinavians who settled in Minnesota brought with them their Norse understanding of the laws of hospitality: you do not fuck around with winter, that if someone needs help in the winter, you help them as long as they don't actively try to hurt you or your neighbors. Food, shelter, labour, whatever, if you can help in winter, you do.

ICE has violated the "actively try to hurt you or your neighbors" bit of the laws of hospitality, and thus the hospitality has been revoked. They are free to feel winter's wrath against those who would bring harm to the community.

I like to think that Lady Skaði would be proud of her distant children.

God what i wouldn't give to have the sheer stamina and work ethic of my next door neighbor. Every morning, 8am, the hammers and drills come out. he's putting up shelves. he's feeding cables through walls 6 inches from my pillow. He's putting together furniture. He's making smoothies. He's 74 years old. Does it piss me off? of course. But i have to admit that he is clearly also the superior being. I need The Substance but to turn me (anemic 20-something with the constitution of a consumptive Victorian child) into this absolute beast of a man

Met this same neighbor today as he was effortlessly hauling his bike up 4 flights of stairs having just finished a 20 mile bike ride and i (masked and bedraggled) explained that I'm on the tail end of a cold but venturing out as I've run out of food, and he was like "Aww no!! 🥺🥺 If you ever need me to pop down to the shops and do some shopping for you just let me know!!" like Steven, that is SO kind, truly, but I have to draw the line at you doing Meals on Wheels for me right now. what i actually need is for you to come with me on a Back To The Future style adventure and somehow make you my biological grandpa because my current genes are simply not pulling their weight. can you leave me your zest for life in your will, Steven. Steven please

Koume and kotake are supportive parents but there parenting styles clash so hard that poor gan has to dual mediate between the two when they go at it and they inadvertently taught him how to manipulate situations better
