I Was Talking To My Mom The Other Day, And She Said She Was Going To Start Going To The Gym, Because

I was talking to my mom the other day, and she said she was going to start going to the gym, because its important care for your body. I’m disabled w/ multiple chronic illnesses, so going to the gym is impossible for me. She seemed to realize this, and started to backtrack, saying like - its part of taking care of herself, and I interrupted and said, “Its okay mom. You and I taking care of ourselves look very different”. And thats what I would like you to know.

Taking care of yourself looks different. 

For some people, taking care of themselves looks like fruit smoothies and gym visits, cutting out sugar and weight training.

For some people, taking care of themselves looks like hospital visits, feeding tubes and ports. Needles and tests.

For some people, taking care of themselves looks like taking medication and lying down in a cool dark room.

For some people, taking care of themselves looks like getting any calories in their body that they can.

For some people, taking care of themselves looks like adding in more vegetables and trying to go outside to get sun more often.

For some people, taking care of themselves looks like seeing a therapist, keeping symptom journals, and practicing mindfulness, meds, or grounding techniques. 

We all have different needs. Please don’t feel bad about how you care for yourself just because someone else is able to do “more”, or their care is more performative or obvious. Please don’t look down on someone for caring for themselves in a way that you do not. Medication and rest are just as important as exercise and vegetables.

Keep doing your best to care for yourself, the best way you know how. Your self care and health is important, no matter what it looks like.

post all ur lotf headcanons rn. go.

Ive written down as many as I could a few weeks ago so I wouldn't forget them... here goes nothing.. Gulp!

CW for mentions of suicide and other stuff

Starting off with Jack

Born early-1940 (oldest of course)

Born in England w/ Irish heritage

Catholic

Picked up on his parent's accents but his comes out usually when he's angry or upset

Born into wealth, a little spoiled too (the most I can support this with is his father owning oil tycoons/factories or something)

Early bloomer (voice is deeper than the other boys and his acne gets really bad)

Insecure as a result ^

Parental / mommy + daddy issues (pick a struggle bruh🥀)

Got held up to high expectations by his parents, and was punished by his father if he ever acted out of line

Punishments got worse the older he got ^

Can play the piano, but is a bit rusty since he's skipped lessons

Writes in barely comprehensible and exaggerated cursive

Post All Ur Lotf Headcanons Rn. Go.

Ralph

Full name: Ralph Erlich

Born mid-1940

Born in England w/ French heritage (mother's side) and Jewish heritage (father's side)

Child of parents that should be divorced, but ultimately stayed together for Ralph

Papa's boy <3

Has a lot of distant family members and cousins..

Another early bloomer, though he isn't affected by it too much (deeper voice than the other boys but his acne isn't super prominent)

Long time nail biter, gets worse post-island

Insomniac, again made worse post-island

Gets dark circles around his eyes as a result ^

Adores desserts, candies, and sugary things

Avoided meat, Jack's hunters (not including Samneric), and other things that reminded him of his time on the island ever since being rescued

Atrocious handwriting

Post All Ur Lotf Headcanons Rn. Go.

Piggy

Full name: Hans P. Weber (Pfaltz)

I AM AWARE HIS NAME IS PROBABLY PETER BC OF CORAL ISLAND BUT I DONTBLIKE IT IT MAKES ME THINK OF PETER GRIFFIN OKAY

Born mid-1940

German immigrant of 5 years

Could speak both fluent German and English, with a defined/distinct accent

Moved from Berlin to England with his auntie after the death of his father, and the suicide of his mother

His auntie, having lost a son in WW1, cared for Piggy like he were her own child. She often gave in to spoiling him sweet (big emphasis on the "sweet" part) in fear of treating him like how his own parents would've before their deaths.

Misinterpreted his admiration toward Ralph as a crush, leaving him quietly flustered and upset after being around him (though this quickly went away after Ralph was SUCH an asshole to him at the start for no reason)

Had lots of really good friends and classmates back in Berlin, which he was forced to leave behind when he and his auntie fled the country.

Adored every school subject, was especially a big math nerd

Congested voice due to his ass-mar

Allergic to peanuts

Simon

Full name: Simon Cortea

Born mid-1941

Slovak immigrant of 6 years

Romani/Catholic

Had two sisters, one older (19 yrs.) and one younger (4 yrs.)

Late bloomer (voice would've remained high-pitched and his height short for years to come)

His big sister acted as a sort of "second mom", since his real mother was often away working. She'd enjoy her time taking care of Simon, from reading him bedtime stories to cooking him and his sister homemade meals

Had a small circle of friends back in his home country, as well as having to leave them behind and making a few new friends upon settling in England

Apologized excessively out of habit

A few of the hunters went to him to make them vine bracelets, plant crowns, and designs for their body paint in secrecy

Back in England, he would often base his drawings and paintings off of the colors and designs of traditional quilts, clothing, and decorations around his house

Post All Ur Lotf Headcanons Rn. Go.

Roger

Full name: Roger Marian

Born mid-1940

Born in England w/ partly Romanian heritage

Romani/Catholic

Born into wealth, though his family isn't as wealthy compared to Jack's

Only one sibling, a 16 year old older brother

As well as a handful of cousins that would visit his house (and piss him off) during the holidays

Became best or close friends with Jack post-island

Also occasionally found himself with a soft spot for Simon while on the island..(not to be confused with a crush)

Shitty posture + nail biting that he'd get told off for back at home.

Lots of moles and marks on his back and arms

Despises haircuts

Atrocious handwriting pt. 2

Post All Ur Lotf Headcanons Rn. Go.

Maurice

Full name: Maurice Barclay

Born early-1940

Born in England w/ partly Irish heritage

Comes from a poorer family compared to the rest of the boys, with lots of siblings and other relatives that live both in England and Ireland.

Has 4 siblings - two older brothers (both in their early 20's), one younger brother (10 yrs.), and a favorite younger baby sister.

Whenever he was cruel or mean to the littluns, he quickly felt bad afterward in remembrance of his little siblings.

Crooked teeth (tooth gap, open bite, and missing teeth give him a speech impediment)

Does get braces later on ^

Big fan of animals, especially dogs and horses

Really bad at lying 🥀
