I know vampirism is often used as a metaphor for the drain of the aristocracy but I think it would be fun to have more vampire characters who were just some guy before they got turned. You seek out the most ancient vampire in existence and find out he was a 40 year old wheat farmer in ancient Mesopotamia when he was turned 7,000 years ago and he hasnāt been doing much since then.
some new designs for Wild Life!! :}
joel left the series spamming ender pearls and zipping around, mad about his trap not working? guess he went out... fast and furious
I can just send you pictures from the hairdresser if you want.
Normalize drawing friends with haircuts before they get them
Hey y'all. It's International Holocaust Awareness day Both of these books changed me. Consider reading them or please share for someone else who might. It's never a bad thing to learn more.
Inside the Gas Chambers: Eight Months in the Sonderkommando of Auschwitz by Slomo Venezia This is one of the only books I've found that touches on the living conditions and viewpoint of a Jew from Greece. Reading it, the author felt like a friend. It was horrifying.
Nazi Doctors: Medical Killing and the Psychology of Genocide this book explained people were taught to completely separate Jews from being human in people's minds in the years leading up to the Holocaust- especially in the medical field. It has interviews with some of the doctors who did these things. The site for the books also has an archive of images, films, objects, publications, recorded sounds and documents. You can find information on many communities. Thank you
I need another life series after Wild Life where Scott and Etho team up from the beginning and I need it viscerally
SAME I need to study the way Etho behaves around Scott. He rarely talks to Scott on camera, and yet heās so comfortable around him. Heās always looking to make Scott laugh. Scott is always looking to make sure Etho is as comfortable as possible. Etho calling Scott āhandsomeā when Scott was disguised as Etho even though this was not the first time weāve seen Scott in Ethoās clothes.
I want them in a lab. I want to put them through scenarios. I want a whole season of them being allies. I want to see them make each other laugh. They rarely talk, and yet Etho can make Scott laugh so hard he canāt breathe without even trying that hard. I want Etho to team up with Scott and realize that he doesnāt have to sneak out and make secret alliances with other teams because Scott ALSO wants to make alliances with other teams. I want Scott to be on a team with only people who donāt pick fights with other teams, and by āteam with only peopleā I mean āteam that is just Ethoā. I need them isolated. There cannot be unaccounted factors within the immediate faction.
I want Etho to say āYou know first hand that Iām not a great teammateā and for Scott to say āI donāt need a great teammate. I need a good friend. I need someone who hears me. I need someone who looks out for me.ā I want Etho to feel so much thoughtfulness and earnestly from Scott. I need them either to make it to the final two and for Scott to sacrifice himself in some dramatic way or for them to go out together, each one rushing to protect the other.
I have so many delusional ideas for them. I want them to have languid mornings together, and I want Scott to paint Ethoās nails. I want Scott to teach Etho how to dance, and I want Etho to show Scott quiet affection. I need them to be soft and safe and secure.
After the Wild Life finale? I need a fic where Etho shows up to Scottās door, sweating and panting, with a bouquet of blue hydrangeas - meaning ādeep remorse/apologyā. I need him to explain that it was an accident, and he wouldāve never let that arrow fly had he known.
Wildlife session 7 out of context
It really really frustrates me when some people, disabled or not, say "well I can do [x thing] because I was forced to" in response to someone saying they can't do something.
"Well I had to eat whatever was for dinner or else I would have starved."
Me too! And I became severely malnourished because I could not eat what was put in front of me.
"My parents hit me if I didn't get good grades so I had to."
Mine too! Except I could not get good grades in a mainstream class no matter how hard I tried or what was at stake.
"I have to mask because I need to keep my job."
Me too! Except I can't even pass an interview because of my limited ability to mask.
"I can't have meltdowns around other people or else I'll be bullied/abused/mocked."
Same here! But I can't hold in my meltdowns.
You need to understand that some people will never be able to do the things you can, no matter how hard they're pushed or what the consequences are for not doing it. I'm really sorry that you were forced to talk, but someone else being unable to speak does not mean that they could if there was enough pressure. Stop assuming that everyone who doesn't mask/speak/etc. grew up in a safe and supportive environment. There are people who would (and do!) die because they're neglected and can't learn to just do things themselves.
I really don't want to be the "other people have it worse" guy or come across like I don't think people are allowed to complain about something just because it's less extreme than someone else's situation, but some of you need to have more compassion for people who are not like you. Just be kind. And if someone says they can't do something, don't assume that it's because they were coddled or whatever.

Hey, unpopular opinion, apparently. But people donāt just āhave pain for no reasonā doctors say this all the time (especially to women and chronically ill people) and the truth is, Thats literally not possible. Even if your pains are psychosomatic (a word I hesitate to even use because of the way its used so often) there is a reason you are having those pains whether its mental illness, abuse, etc. If your doctor consistently tells you that āwell some people just have pain for no reasonā get a new doctor. Thatās a doctor who is not going to give a shit what your actual symptoms or experiences are.
