a note on my tagging for CWs:
i may be a little slow to tag for CWs, particularly as i look for ones that may be new to me but common on mastodon.
i promise this is not the token cishet being ornery or stubborn; it's me having a moment. the various medicines i take for my illnesses (including pain meds, etc) mean sometimes i don't brain so good.
i promise it's not malice, and i will always be happy to put cw on things if asked, feel FREE to do so and TELL ME if i've forgotten!
q-word discourse, in which a wigglytuff outlines what she is going to do for now and asks for patience
so, i will say that in tumblr i have gotten pretty used to 'queer' as umbrella term of choice. the social circle i was in was emphatically pro-queer, and as token cishet, i tried to use the language they thought most appropriate (and that i was used to seeing academically).
however! if you are following me and need/want me to cw it, PLEASE LET ME KNOW and i will do my best to cw it for you!
in which a wigglytuff is stressed out by medical procedures done to family
so my mom was scheduled for her heart cath procedure at 8:30 this morning. they woke her up to begin preparing her at 4am.
it is now 2pm, they still haven't started lol.
i'm guessing this means another day lost to stress, they might keep her overnight, and it's a good thing i stocked up on groceries.
YEAH I HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT EITHER, i went to my doctor all panicky and worrying that it was actually like idfk, fucking lupus or some shit, but nah. it's just that shit
it's not even a big deal. it's just that there is a lil yeast buddy that normally lives on your skin and causes no problems whatsoever, but every so often your immune system UTTERLY FLIPS THE FUCK OUT ABOUT IT so the anti-fungal creams are the fix to get said immune response to also calm the fuck down.
oh hey i might know something helpful for this
are you sure it's dandruff? bc i had what i thought was very upsetting bad dandruff into my eyebrows but it turned out that why the dandruff shampoo wasn't working is because... it was seborrheic dermatitis, which sounds far more dramatic than it actually is, and is pretty simple to knock the fuck out
you can test that theory by getting an antifungal cream on there to see if it helps (also creams are easier to wangle than shampoo around eyes tbh)
ok, i think my cishet ass would not be an appropriate audience for Femme's Guide to the Universe, but as an girl who is not that gr8 at girling, i am well tempted to see if any of my femme/sapphic/etc. friends would like a copy that i can quickly flip through when i'm over to visit or something.
because how tf DO you get a garter belt on but panties off
the next scene i need to write
is harry and ginny potter having a married couple conversation about if they should buy a trash incinerator, and whether to watch 101 Dalmations or Lilo and Stitch that evening with their chinese takeout.
so you know
VERY exciting, INTENSE ACTION kinda fanfic,
anyway stay tuned if "and then harry potter as an adult running on too much coffee and cigarettes as really bad coping strategies for ptsd ends up head detective on a case of trying to figure out who murdered these people who happen to all be stepsiblings with their dad being voldemort; takes a small detour to chat with a nice snake in a parish garden" is an idea that appeals to you, because oh boy guess what i'm writing
anyway i guess it's just more motivation for me to actually continue writing all this harry potter fanfiction, because sometimes your motivation for writing fanfiction is marching up to a creator and going NO NO NO NO! YOU'VE MADE SUCH A FUCKING HASH OF IT, THESE ARE ALL MINE NOW. I'M CONFISCATING ALL THIS UNTIL YOU LEARN BETTER.
so part of me is very angry at the racism on display, but another part of me is continually going apeshit about how it seems like everyone went out of their way to write in a far more fucking boring time. like it's not just morally wrong, but it's storytelling that expends a lot more effort in order to be incredibly bland. the flavor, the meat of it, the exciting stuff was RIGHT THERE, and there was a heavy detour to AVOID THE INTERESTING STUFF????
ETERNAL SCREAMING. I DON'T FUCKEN GET IT YALL
