i swear tae fucking GOD if i have to keep smelling cigarette smoke i'm gonna go focken FERAL. feral little bastard man coming through.

[Espy]

My dad quit smoking practically overnight bc my mom was pregnant w me and I super appreciate that

For the sheer volume of complaints I have about my parents, they’re not terrible people, but oh boy does Taiwanese culture not understand mental illness

actually just asian cultures as a whole

[Stabbsworth]

yeah, i've heard. it's not much better over in the UK. we don't really have the resources for that shit, either?

like, to get a therapist, you still have to pay. we're basically america-lite in that respect. but physical issues, you get treatment but have to pay for prescriptions, you know? (good thing the acne meds are like, 9£ odd.)

[Espy]

mate i gotta pay for therapist, psychiatrist, AND meds

because I have that motherfucker MTHFR gene defect which means something along the lines of SSRIs and SNRIs being only half as effective as they should be, so I neglect to take special methylfolate supplements for that

something something folic acid

at least the MTHFR defect I have only cuts efficiency to 50%; one of my friends has the version that cuts it to 10%.

[Stabbsworth]

oh jesus christ.

genetics are a fuckload of shit that i ought to learn about tbh.

[Espy]

Genetics is fun until you inherit a boatload of shit

also genes from your dad’s side which mean you’ll never have a particularly androgynous physical form

[Stabbsworth]

i mean, i got a bit lucky in the genetics department with being short + stocky.

and fairly hairy hjkhkj

thing is, i get awful amounts of acne.

[Espy]

Hah, I bet I’m shorter than you are.

Unfortunately I inherited a butt and thighs.

[Stabbsworth]

got glorious leggs.

[Espy]

They’re not even glorious haha

Long torso (for my size)

short leggy

[Stabbsworth]

leggys

i don't like having emotions very much.

[Espy]

Presumably if you get brain trauma in the area that controls emotions, you’d rid yourself of some of them? But obv you’re v likely to fuck a lot of other things up.

[Stabbsworth]

gestures in an excessively vague manner.

i do not like having emotions. i'm supposed to be happy for this person that is getting with their own crush and yet.

i'm supposed to be goddamn happy.

[Espy]

Ohhh, that. Yeah, that happens.

[Stabbsworth]

happens too often.

[mdom]

part of you can be happy for them and other part sad for you
if we could control our emotions rationally they wouldn't be

emotions
