I don't want sympathy, I just want to call people wankers and take valium in the bath and eat crisps

This is going under a cut because it is a grumpy inarticulate mess primarily derived from being too fucking hot all day at work and forgetting to take decongestants.

Occasionally I feel like I'm turning into weird lesser version of you but you know what I'm weirdly okay with that.

I only wish I was that awesome, though. You're one of the only people I don't hate on the internet because you don't pretend you are all goody goody and clean and perfect and ~ACCEPTING~

You'll all FUCK YOU I'M A FLAWED PERSON AND A MONSTER AND I LOVE IT. Er, I hope you can take that as a compliment as it's sort of meant to be.

apiphile October 3 2011, 19:31:08 UTC

THIS IS ALL WONDERFUL EXCEPT THERE IS NOTHING LESSER ABOUT YOU, PUMPKINHEAD.

Yeah he did rather miss a trick there, and TBH the main problem I had with his original post was STOP TELLING PEOPLE HOW TO FEEL ABOUT THEIR BODIES. What is the worst possible thing you can say to someone who has issues with the skin they're in? TELL THEM THAT HATING THEMSELVES IS RUINING THINGS FOR OTHER PEOPLE. Yeah that'll DEFINITELY make it easier for them to deal with dysmorphia, dysphoria, misery, and self-hatred. What a fuckwit. (Also really, "don't tell me to stuff it up my cunt as I am not a woman"? So it would be okay to say that to a woman? Good show. Double standard! Keep on trucking, Charles).

Not that you play by *my* rules, but I know it and don't expect otherwise and don't scold you for your word choices. I know you know what they mean, after all.

Yeah, everyone has their own idiom. I've been thinking about this a lot recently due to the magical inability of internet bods to grasp things like "hyperbole", "sarcasm", "litotes", and "anything other than Srs Bznz". Which is hard for Old Guard Brits where you have to ( ... )

Oh, it's probably a good few pages back now but it was something along the lines of "people mustn't talk about hating their bodies because it makes other people hate their bodies and you* are A BAD EXAMPLE!!11!!11!!1111@

* general rather than specific.

And also posted that spectacular thing from the Fat Nutritionist, which, were this tumblr, I would reblog the fuck out of.

Re 1a, yeah, but you're in a fuckload of pain, so it doesn't really matter if it will go away or if someone else's won't, because fuckloaf of pain. Load. Re 1b, dude, I like that kind of pain, and can take quite a bit of it, but I cried like a little girl when Sarll squeezed a spot above my top lip. So.

apiphile October 3 2011, 20:24:38 UTC

I like to think that a fuckloaf is very sexy bread, btw.

And yeah I figured that other dirty pervert weirdos like thee and me would understand, but there is that contingent who make those idiotic comments "you like pain hur hur you must like it when someone trips you over hur hur" and you always want to reply "you like it when people touch your wang you must like it when i punch you in the cock". morons.

puzzled_anwen October 3 2011, 20:41:08 UTC

Yeah, well, those people can fuck off, they ain't getting my sexy bread.

apiphile October 3 2011, 20:41:54 UTC

I wonder if it's possible to compromise on a snogbun.

Bathing, eating, and calling people names is precisely what I want to do now. If by "people" you mean my racist, annoying, crotchety old grandpa, at whose beck and call I am living. If you get to a bathtub, eat some snacks on my behalf.

apiphile October 3 2011, 20:41:13 UTC

Oh man, one of my friends is juuuuuuust escaping from well over a year of grandparent sitting - same deal, racist, crotchety, demanding, and in this instance also violent toward the support staff - and ugh :( I will also drink some wine on your behalf.

arseaboutface October 3 2011, 20:44:01 UTC

I appreciate it. :} No violence here, thank God.

1. Unwanted pain sucks donkey balls, and you don't need to have a particular diagnosis to have the pain be real and serious and bad. (Except for when I get menstrual cramps, which don't count for some reason that lives in my head. That is the one exception in the entire universe, and it only applies to me, so you can't have it.)

2. Sorry about the food thing. Eating until full works for a lot of people, but every single approach to eating I've heard has at least a few people going "No, this is making me feel worse."

4. I know I tend to get creeped out by all of that "Look at me, I'm an ally!" stuff, because most people who announce stuff like that are usually more interested in language-policing than decent behavior, and often have the Grand Theoretical Construct explaining the One True Way, and denounce everyone who is intersexed/trans/queer/disabled/female/etc., wrong.

6. Isn't the fun of fantasies that you can do whatever and erase all consequences? Yeah, in actual reality, there are reasons to have precautions and limits, ( ... )

apiphile October 3 2011, 22:17:22 UTC

1. Ah, I see we are of the same school of "no, no, everyone else's pain EXCEPT MINE".

2. Shockingly, people are all different! On the whole it is probably better for me, I just need to pair "stop eating when you're full" with "eat when you are hungry, instead of angrily telling your body to go fuck itself". I HAVE A HISTORY OF EATING DISORDER. Stupid brain.

4. YES THIS THANK YOU THIS. Thank you for putting that into much more intelligent words.

6. One would think. Full disclosure: I suspect the imaginary conglomerate of remembered bloggers in my head who police EVERYTHING I SAY OR DO are more harsh than the real ones.

wolfy_writing October 3 2011, 22:36:43 UTC

1. I'm actually not like that about most things. It's just part of me keeps insisting that it's deeply ridiculous to act like menstrual pain is a real problem, and that part of me is only responsible for passing judgement on myself, and even when I have a really nasty one with vomiting, part of me is still going "You're being silly thinking this is serious." (Other people around me, preferring not to be vomited on, tend to look at me warily when I'm pale and crampy and urge me to go take painkillers, a hot bath, and a nap ( ... )

apiphile October 4 2011, 08:46:33 UTC

1. Hah I remember you telling me that someone told you that cramps were down to internalised misogyny - I posit that your lack of respect for them as a Thing is down to that, instead ( ... )
