For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, "Couldn't be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?"
Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of "hungry" sensations before they get to that point.....
They what
Yeah, I don't get it either, but apparently this is a Whole Thing.... Like they somehow detect blood sugar dropping and go, "Ooh, time for lil snack!"
See also: there is a feeling of "oh, I need to pee" that happens before "fidgeting around in my seat to finish this thing before running to the bathroom"
I read this and was like, "this can't be real" and then I looked for sources and like--
"This can be very harmful for neurodivergent people, as many neurodivergent people struggle to feel internal cues and bodily sensations, including hunger and fullness. An emphasis on “only eating when hungry” can result in neurodivergent people delaying eating until they are so hungry that they are shaky, highly irritable, or even on the verge of passing out. A focus on “stopping when full” may cause neurodivergent people to overthink every bite they take and scrutinize whether they are truly hungry or truly full. To modify Intuitive Eating for neurodivergent people, it may be important to focus on eating enough and eating consistently throughout the day, rather than eating according to one’s hunger and fullness cues. Neurodivergent people may need more of a structured meal and snack schedule than neurotypical folks in recovery, as well as some guidelines around a minimum amount of food. This does not make their eating less intuitive or their recovery less real - it is an important way of honouring their body’s needs and unique ways of functioning."
WHAT??????
what the fuck
so we all agree that the chantry's real problem with blood magic isn't that blood magic is more dangerous or mind control is more dangerous or that abominations are more dangerous, but that it's a form of magic the chantry can't attempt to control through its monopolization of lyrium access, yes?
like when Connor is possessed by a demon your options are to... directly petition for the first enchanter of the circle to personally come perform the ritual himself or... ask a young and untested blood mage to do it?
ONE SIMPLE LIFE HACK THE CHANTRY CAN'T FUCKING STAND
Didn’t he have to kill someone though?
yeah, but he was one single, inexperienced person operating entirely outside of the support of the largest political institution in southern thedas, performing, with no preparation time, a task that the chantry widely claims is entirely impossible (reversing a demonic possession). who knows what the cost could be otherwise?
the only legal way to reverse a demonic possession is to be a wealthy noble family with the requisite social standing to directly petition the chantry and circle to make a one-time exception to their party line that demonic possession is irreversible (and thus the entire reason why structures like the circle and procedures like the harrowing must exist). that's not nothing.
the other alternative is also to kill someone. the child.
Listen, I don't care if you don't understand Hindi. You HAVE to listen to Hindi Ballister's delivery of the "Let's break stuff" (toh ho jaye tod-phod) line. Sexiest line in Nimona.
translation:
ambrosius: giraftaar karo (arrest them) ballister: tum janna chahte ho yeh kaun hai? (you want to know who this is?) nimona: oh ho ho, ab yeh hui na baat! (oh ho ho, that's more like it!) ballister: chalo dikhaye hum inhe? (shall we show them?) nimona: bade shauk se! (with [lots of] pleasure) ballister: toh ho jaye tod phod. (then let there be destruction) nimona: bawaal! (lit. uproar)

STOP BEING FUNNIER THAN ME ON MY OWN POST
I have to trust you with AR-15's, but you can't trust me with my vagina?
A glimmer of hope for y'all: my boy children ages 11 and 13 loved the Barbie movie.
I asked 13yo after what he thought about Ken's whole arc and he thought for a minute and said, "I think it makes you realize that what's best is not men in charge OR women in charge, but something more equal."
“French is such a beautiful, romantic language.”
“Cat, I farted.”
No no no it's worse because it's a hard t at the end. Chat as in cat has a silent t. Chat with a hard t at the end is slang for pussy. It's "pussy, I farted". Or in other words ChatGPT is a queef.
No one wants to admit this but you don’t actually have to eat eggs and dairy for breakfast. Farmers just did that because they’d milk the cows and collect eggs in the morning. You can literally make a sandwich or a bowl of pasta or really anything you want for breakfast. There isn’t some medical reason you have to eat cereal and milk or fried eggs in the morning—our idea of “breakfast food” is an entirely artificial construct. Do what makes you happy.
I relate with Ballister here because I too would hijack a car in broad daylight in a crowded marketplace just to avoid an awkward conversation with my ex
...someone save him...
the tumblr webcomic you started reading as a closeted high school queer when there were only 5 chapters published becoming a bold celebration of identity and netflix's most watched animated movie after 7 years in development can be something so personal
