Oh…. Oh…………… ;_; indeed. Wow.

Here’s the study for more info

And a quick reader friendly summary of the findings

It’s always kind of been a bullshit “symptoms syndrome,” “go away shut up ‘diagnosis’” to me, which was NOT helped by there being no treatment ever offered other than “exercise and improve your mental health you’re just lazy and depressed and anxious and feeling exertion makes you more anxious (saying ‘exertion/exercise intolerance’ makes you go to hell for real) go to therapy” so like. actually seeing solid well researched evidence that no I’m not just a pathetic stupid clumsy weak person with no distress tolerance as I’ve very much internalized…. I am undone.

Celestial Omens

Chapter 3: Speaking with Myths

You sail out to the spot you could last remember meeting them, disheartened when the mermen don't, finding yourself questioning all that has happened in the last week, and your childhood and the myth that saturates. Until one does show up, and brings the other, and suddenly there are two mermen on the deck of your small houseboat; one that is tired as the sunset but entertains your several questions, the other who prefers to scare you at any given opportunity and eat the entire bucket of fish you've brought, and both seemingly insistent that you do not leave, they do not leave you, and that there may be something else in the water. This is what you get for being friends with mythical omens of legend.

To get the eternal glory of a warriors death, you have to die fighting. You remembered this as the third village in a row surrendered before you could even draw your sword. You are a legendary old viking, and you’re getting worried.

Sorry boss, I need the day off. Yeah, looking at pictures of praying mantises again. Uh huh. Yeah. Yeah struck by the breathtaking beauty of life in the world in its infinite complexity.

Middle-aged magical girl.

She's been defending the Earth since the early 90s and she's very tired.

My name is Tominaga Haruka. I was chosen by a magical talking animal, and for the last 29 years I've been Earth's one and only... Wonder-Sparkle Princess.

she's been fighting the same villains for three decades and they are also tired of it. Most of them aren't giving it their all. Half of them are in a groupchat they've added her to where they schedule their evil plans to make sure they don't interfere with each other, or more importantly, with *her* Xalkrax the space demon from outer space decided to attack the city when she was taking her vacation time once, and now he's dead, because even the power of friendship and redemption can't save you if you interrupt her rare vacations

Demon Queen Eluria: Gonna fill the city people's hearts with hatred on thursday to cause mayhem and discord.

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: Can't, got a PTA meeting.

Demon Queen Eluria: Friday?

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: A birthday party.

Demon Queen Eluria: Damn. How about I fill just the mayor's heart with hatred then?

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: That'd be redundant, lol. Maybe fill his heart with a desire to fix the fucking potholes?!

Demon Queen Eluria: LMFAO love you, bitch. Stay strong.

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: You too, gurl. How's the husband? Still dead?

Demon Queen Eluria: Yep. Thanks for that, btw.

Wonder-Sparkle Princess: Don't mess with my time off :p

Why are people tagging this '#wonder sparkle princess' like that's a thing and not a name I made up exclusively for this post?

Congratulations on inventing a new tumblr deity!!

She isn't 29 years old. She's been a magical girl for 29 years. If she started at 14 (typical magical girl protagonist age) then she'd be 43.

After having gone up for vote, the pins are up for pre-order! However, there's just one stipulation:

Due to the cost of bulk shipping, I've got to make at least 50 sales of each. These can be bought individually or together, but each design must meet the minimum requirement. If not, though, then everybody simply gets refunded and we'll try again in September.

Per usual, they're U.S. shipping only and you can find them in my ko-fi shop here! Thanks!

Also, asking yet again! If you like these enough to like them, please reblog too! Any and all profits from my ko-fi shop sales are going straight into medical care, so I appreciate these posts getting spread as much as possible.

We're already halfway there! Pre-orders will be open for the rest of this week and through the weekend!

AYOOOOO 10 more of each sold and we will be ALL SET

If some of you remember the comic draft I shared a couple months ago- this is the final draft! Just wanted to say another thank you from everyones input and I really hope you enjoy the finished version. It’s part of a bigger project where i’ve interviewed multicultural people and told some of their stories relating to their experience. 

[Image Description: A seven page comic, done in grayscale with green backgrounds. The main narrator in the comic says, “I was born in Lebanon. I grew up in Nigeria. My family is Palestinian. But I don’t have a single one of those nationalities in my wallet.” There’s a wide shot showing that the main narrator is sitting at an outdoor café by a cathedral. The main narrator says, “On paper, I’m French.” 

Back to a close shot of the main narrator. They say, “My mother has Senegalese nationality which makes my sisters and I French. Sort of as an apology from France for colonizing it. But I’m not French. Even if I tried, French culture is almost impossible to integrate into.” There’s a close up of the main narrator’s drink. They continue, “It’s elitist. Conversation is a cycle of humiliation to prove who is smarter. And the way people complain! They feel entitled to everything. It’s no joke!”

Another wide shot of the café. The main narrator says, “I came to Montpellier to study medicine 3 years ago. And I know what you’re thinking, it’s just the people I’m around.” The person the main narrator is sitting with says, “Haha, I mean, you are in medicine…” The main narrator replies, “Haha okay I mean maybe that’s some if it… But because I didn’t grow up with this culture, it’s hard for me to understand a lot of social cues. Especially when it comes to people being ‘honest’.” 

There is a whole page shot of the café and the cathedral. The narrator says, “I don’t mean to offend at all, but you have to understand. It’s hard to be around people who have everything and complain about nothing. I come from a small town in Lebanon. We have one of any store that Montpellier has 5 of. One cinema, one mall, actually, that closed down. In 2006 we went through a war, my friends and I grew up processing fear, trauma and gratitude. We see things differently.”

The main narrator and the person they were drinking with are now waking side by side. The main narrator says, “For me, it’s incredible to be in France, to walk in a road that isn’t just dirt, next to cars that won’t run you over, and (underline) public transport (end underline)! France is so accessible, when someone comp,Ian’s about trams taking too long to be remodeled, I just want to shake them- and say: look what you are complaining about! In a way I completely understand. When your country truly appreciates art, culture, education, and loves it’s people… no wonder they turn out smart, and defensive of their rights.” The main narrator winks and says, “And yes, elitist, but like I’m saying - I get it!”

The panels slowly pan towards the main narrator’s shadow as they say, “I guess I mostly feel a gray at my own country for not loving its people the way I do, at the end of the day, Lebanon just isn’t a choice for us to live right now. All my friends there wish they could leave. Lebanese pounds have dropped like crazy, we don’t have any export… it’s unbearable.” The view goes back to the main narrator and they ir drinking partner. The narrator says, “I know how luck I am to be here.”

We go back to a close shot of the narrator. They say, “I am grateful that at least this country recognized me. I can’t claim any legal prof that Ik: front t,he country of my mother tongue. It hurts to be rejected from your home. But I also know that’s just not how culture is defined. Look at me, complaining and getting defensive.” The narrator smiles and finishes, “Maybe I am a bit French after all.” End Description.]
