Carrie is fat in the book. Learning that completely blew me.

The use of pigs blood makes so much more sense. The reason she was bullied so relentlesly, even though she does nothing to nobody, makes so much more sense. The relationship with her mother makes so much more sense.

I know they aren't going to, but I wish they would cast someone fat in this new Carrie adaptation. From the articles I've seen, they are already speculating which skinny actress it's going to be.

How many times can they tell the story the same exact way? The answer: endlessly.

I don't know what's worse the total erasure of fat people in movies or the only story we get to see ourselves in are the love yourself fatty movies.

thats my fat old man!!

Yo this goes out to all hollow knight fans who want to play similar games!

I am not far into the game yet, but i recommend the last faith!

Its also a side scroll metroidvania with the kinda cozy/depressed vibe and an infection/abandoned world kinda trope.

It has a pretty similar fighting and playstyle, great art and nice music.

Its more dark than hollow knight tho, its usk 16, has some gory stuff (pixelart so not THAT bad) and overall is really gothic so be aware of that!

lmao me

I was being attacked by a giant stag beetle and my cousin (who is a biologist irl) kept telling me cool facts about it instead of helping.

Ah yes, the 3 genders. Male, female, and “what the fuck are you, a cop?”

Deeply fucked up that this game (real life) forces you to play a crafting mini-game (cooking) every time you want to replenish your stamina bar.

You can skip the crafting game by using a pre-made consumable if you have them on hand, but high level players will constantly nag you about it and tell you that it damages your character's stats in the long run.

I just thought about that one time in middle school when two girls tried to bully me by telling me that I was so flat chested my male cousin had a bigger chest than me and I got really happy and thanked them and bragged to my friends about it and in hindsight I don’t know how everyone didn’t know I was trans before I did because I don’t even think I was in the closet, I think I was just staring out an open window thinking no one going by could see me

Nervously checking the news to see if any famous people die within 24 hours

This is so true. I had a REALLY bad phone addiction & was unable to watch TV at all. Now i can watch multiple 45 min star trek episodes (they're low stimulation to me) in a row without it feeling boring or exhausting. We have to train our brains.

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free
