I have the too much gene when it comes to managing my blood sugar i stg. I think i take enough insulin for my meal (usually when i’m eating too much) & i come up short. I take too much for a snack (but it’s something like chips or cereal so i assume i need more) & i send myself into a low (tonight i got to 45…scary for me)
Victor Frankenstein: I’ve created life but I refuse to put any effort into helping that life develop. I won’t teach him, love him, or defend him even though I forced him into existence with a fully operational adult brain lol. Peace, bitch.
The Monster: Am Eloquent Baby
Boomers: He’S NOt thE ViCtIM, HE’s tHe MOnsTEr
An ironic parallel considering the idea of “tough love” parenting that plenty of boomers like to use. If they buy into the idea that their kids just have to toughen up and face the real world without guidance or emotional support, I’m sure it does scare them to read a story where someone who wasn’t given any support began to resent their creator and turn on them.
it’s like that post that’s like ‘knowledge is knowing that frankenstein is the doctor; wisdom is knowing that frankenstein is the monster’. like the whole point of the post is that frankenstein’s monster is a victim of viktor frankenstein’s own monstrosity.
mary shelley did not lose her virginity on her mother’s grave just for people to misunderstand her best known work over a century later.
What did Victor Frankenstein think a man made out of DEAD BODY PARTS would look like?
#i hardly even read the book & understood that takeaway like wtf
Absolute cannot fucking relate I was so utterly disgusted by this medication my entire body - fed up with being prescribed this foul slime multiple times a year - became aggressively allergic to it and all other Penicillin based and derived medications.
When I say that this medicine was revolting I don’t just mean by taste but that every cell in my body agreed to a coup and tried to die when it was ingested.
Idk if this is just my Sickly Kid Aesthetic coming though but that bubblegum flavored amoxicillin fucking slapped
#i dont know if it was amoxicillin but i had some kind of bubblegum meds that i didnt mind #my whole body convulsed when i had to take my zyertec though #i can still taste it..
my dad–also a writer–came to visit, and i mentioned that the best thing to come out of the layoff is that i’m writing again. he asked what i was writing about, and i said what i always do: “oh, just fanfic,” which is code for “let’s not look at this too deeply because i’m basically just making action figures kiss in text form” and “this awkward follow-up question is exactly why i don’t call myself a writer in public.”
he said, “you have to stop doing that.”
“i know, i know,” because it’s even more embarrassing to be embarrassed about writing fanfic, considering how many posts i’ve reblogged in its defense.
but i misunderstood his original question: “fanfic is just the genre. i asked what you’re writing about.”
i did the conversational equivalent of a spinning wheel cursor for at least a minute. i started peeling back the setting and the characters, the fic challenge and the specific episode the story jumps off from, and it was one of those slow-dawning light bulb moments. “i’m writing about loneliness, and who we are in the absence of purpose.”
as, i imagine, are a lot of people right now, who probably also don’t realize they’re writing an existential diary in the guise of getting television characters to fuck.
“that’s what you’re writing. the rest is just how you get there, and how you get it out into the world. was richard iii really about richard the third? would shakespeare have gotten as many people to see it if it wasn’t a story they knew?”
any time I hear a song from RENT I get shot back into 2005 when I saw it with my gay friend (not out at the time?) and my mom being horrified when we started talking about what was going on in it lmfao
#it was my favorite for a while #still good but not my favorite anymore

it’s been a few days since I’ve seen our outdoor kitty Patches… I just hope she’s somewhere eating and drinking. it always worries me when she disappears for chunks of time
#gettin a lil tired of the memery of it all #as someone who is in the same city as the incident #also records have been made private now as agreed upon by her family & lmpd & idk what to think about that whole issue
ah yes they call me “No Queue” Jones because I post everything I reblog at once with no breaks in between and then vanish into the night for extended periods of inactivity
#i have queued something maybe once #but fuck that shit lmao
dude remember when USA tumblr used to go absolutely apeshit on the 4th of july and when people said “but america is terrible” we said “we know but let us just have this one day” but like ever since trump got elected it’s just been so bleak and chaotic that we can’t even pretend to be Ultra Patriotic For The Memes anymore. we’re just tired and angry.
since some of yall (mostly racist white people and c**ns) got upset with me the other day about supporting black fanfiction writers, i decided to explain to you all about why i said what i said.
Frank: Yeah. That’s what we’re doing. In our very limited free time, we took a class on a very outdated, unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you.
[Later]
Joe, to Nancy: That’s exactly what we did.
