Turns out three years of hyperfixating on TF2 are the only job requirements to get hired as an underpaid and overworked Mann Co. employee. Who knew!

And for their first ask of me, it was to make a rentrys of all things. Best not to question it though!

────── ⋆☆⋆ ──────

You can now find RED and BLU rentry pages, with pictures, quotes, bios, headcanons, links to fight songs, links to Meet The videos, and just fun things related to the mercs! There might even be some fun changes for you to discover between the sites...

────── ⋆☆⋆ ──────

And if that wasn't enough for you, worry not! Mann Co. has left me in charge of their very own rentry where YOU, yes YOU! Can contact them! Or contact an overworked employee or two. And maybe even find a way to apply to become a mercenary yourself.

Also worry not Miss Pauling fans, I made sure she wasn't left out of the fun. All the cool stuff above can be found for her as well <3

────── ⋆☆⋆ ──────

All and all, roleplaying jokes aside, I'm really proud of this project. I ended up finishing all of it in 2 and a 1/2 days. It would really mean a lot if you checked them out and let me know what you think!

I hope you guys enjoy my big "3 years of tf2 hyperfixation project" and thanks again for making these 3 years in TF2 some of my favorites in fandom ever. Love all my fellow tf2 fans. I'm going to pass out for a week now that I'm done with this lol.

Big thanks also to my best friend @neptr-the-alien for giving me the idea to make this, or at least the push to finally commit to making it. And a huge thanks to stars site Grave Disrespect for making my job 100x easier. Go check that out too if you're not too busy.

You are in a kitchen, opening a pantry door. It contains every brand of cereal in existence.

Libido- How hungry you are

Sexual Attraction- How appealing each cereal is to you

Sex-Repulsed- The mere act of eating cereal disturbs you. You flee the kitchen to watch Netflix instead.

Sex-Indifferent- Someone brings you a bowl of cereal. Even though you don’t crave cereal, you decide to eat some anyway. Maybe because you want the person to feel happy you’re eating something they provided you. Maybe you’re just that hungry. Regardless, you’re fine with eating it since it’s already there. If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t care either.

Sex-favorable- Though you don’t particularly crave cereal, the act of eating cereal is enjoyable. So enjoyable, you go through the trouble of picking a brand to eat.

Asexual with low/no libido- You are rarely hungry, and none of the cereal appeals to you.

Asexual with average/high libido- You are often hungry, but none of the cereal appeals to you.

Aegosexual-  Eating cereal sounds fun in theory but not in practice. You certainly have no interest in eating cereal yourself. You’d rather fantasize about other people eating cereal, thankyouverymuch. 

Gray Asexual- You only like Lucky Charms and Apple Jacks. And maybe Fruity Pebbles but you’re not quite sure.

Demisexual- You see a box of Trix. You are familiar with the rabbit on the box, due to the commercials you’ve seen. You always sympathized with the rabbit for never getting any Trix. There are things in life you’ve wanted but have never gotten. You feel a bond with the rabbit. Suddenly that box of Trix looks tasty.

Fraysexual- You see a box of Cocoa Puffs. You have never heard of Cocoa Puffs in your life. But something about it is oh-so-appealing. You pour yourself a bowl. As you start to eat, you catch a commercial for Cocoa Puffs on TV. You now know what the mascot on the box is like. You lose interest in Cocoa Puffs for reasons you cannot explain.

Lithosexual- You notice a box of Fruit Loops. You feel an urge to eat it. Toucan Sam comes to life and asks you to eat them. This makes you uncomfortable, so you leave to watch Netflix with the sex-repulsed ace.

Reciprosexual- You have no interest in any of the cereal. Not even that box of Frosted Flakes. But Tony the Tiger shows up wanting you to eat the Frosted Flakes. Now that he wants you to eat Frosted Flakes, you want to eat Frosted Flakes. 

Cupiosexual- You want to eat cereal, but none of the cereal looks appealing. Maybe if you grab that box of Corn Flakes, it’ll become appealing to you later? It’s happened to other people. You consider grabbing that box of Corn Flakes, just in case.

Orchidsexual- Some of the cereal looks appealing, but you have no interest in eating cereal.

Aceflux- None of the cereal looks good, so you close the pantry. A few days later, you decide to open the pantry again. Now, some of those brands look appetizing. You check the pantry again the next day. None of the cereal looks good anymore.

Sex-Ambivalent- Sometimes the thought of eating cereal repulses you. Sometimes you don’t care. Sometimes you might even want cereal, even if none of the cereal looks good.

Inactsexual- The thought of eating cereal is upsetting and downright repulsive. But oddly enough, you want to eat cereal. Some of the cereal may even look appealing. And yet, eating cereal is icky. How is that possible? Not even you understand.

Bellussexual- You find the act of eating cereal interesting. You can certainly get behind the aesthetic. However, there are no brands you wish to eat. Come to think of it, you actually don’t even want to eat cereal. What the hell?

Cogitarisexual- When you think about it, Cheerios sound pretty good. You grab the box, take one look at it, and suddenly lose interest.

Iamvanosexual- You don’t want to eat cereal unless someone comes along and offers it to you on a spoon. Not because you are lazy or inconsiderate. You simply have no interest in giving anyone else cereal for unexplainable reasons.

Placiosexual- You don’t want anyone feeding you cereal. However, you can easily get behind feeding someone else cereal. That sounds like a fun time.

Requisexual- You have no interest in eating cereal. You find no cereal appealing. You are emotionally exhausted and out of spoons.

To the Person Who Asked If I Was OK

Hi! Hello! This month was very rough with my laptop dying and car having problems. So I'm opening commissions!

Here's my Discord for communications - .miauta Or you can DM me~

https://wheelofnames.com/kch-gkt

this is a really really cool idea! Thanks!!!

You can't do this for a week!

It has some great articles and resources and while written by people with ME/CFS, it keeps all disabilities in mind. A lot of it is specific to the USA but even if you're from somewhere else, there are many guides that can still help you. Some really good ones are:

How to live a great disabled life- A guide full of resources to make your life easier and probably the best place to start (including links to some of the below resources). Everything from applying for good quality affordable housing to getting free transportation, affordable medication, how to get enough food stamps, how to get a free phone that doesn't suck, how to find housemates and caregivers, how to be homebound, support groups and Facebook pages (including for specific illnesses), how to help with social change from home, and so many more.

Turning a "no" into a "yes"- A guide on what to say when denied for disability aid/accommodations of many types, particularly over the phone. "Never take no for an answer over the phone. If you have not been turned down in writing, you have not been turned down. Period."

How to be poor in America- A very expansive and helpful guide including things from a directory to find your nearest food bank to resources for getting free home modifications, how to get cheap or free eye and dental care, extremely cheap internet, and financial assistance with vet bills

How to be homebound- This is pretty helpful even if you're not homebound. It includes guides on how to save spoons, getting free and low cost transportation, disability resources in your area, home meals, how to have fun/keep busy while in bed, and a severe bedbound activity master list which includes a link to an audio version of the list on Soundcloud

Master List of Disability Accommodation Letters For Housing- Guides on how to request accommodations and housing as well as your rights, laws, and prewritten sample letters to help you get whatever you need. Includes information on how to request additional bedrooms, stop evictions, request meetings via phone, mail, and email if you can't in person, what you can do if a request is denied, and many other helpful guides

Special Laws to Help Domestic Violence Survivors (Vouchers & Low Income Housing)- Protections, laws, and housing rights for survivors of DV (any gender), and how to get support and protection under the VAWA laws to help you and/or loved ones receive housing and assistance

Dealing With Debt & Disability- Information to assist with debt including student loans, medical debt, how to deal with debt collectors as well as an article with a step by step guide that helped the author cut her overwhelming medical bills by 80%!

There are so many more articles, guides, and tools here that have helped a lot of people. And there are a lot of rights, resources, and protections that people don't know they have and guides that can help you manage your life as a disabled person regardless of income, energy levels, and other factors.

If you're feeling suicidal or feel the need to self harm it's important to reach out for help.

Your doctor isn't going to send you to a mental hospital for having suicidal thoughts. It can actually be extremely important information that they need to know. Medications can have a side effect of causing suicidal thoughts. Your doctor needs to know this information. They will ask you questions. They are trying to assess you aren't actively planning on taking your own life. They aren't trying to throw you into a padded cell, they're trying to make sure you're safe, and they will work with you to understand why you feel this way.

This is also true for self harm. Your doctor is not automatically going to send you to the mental hospital for self harm scars or self harming. They aren't your enemy.

Your therapist isn't against you. They want to work with you. Your therapist will not send you to a mental hospital for having suicidal thoughts. This is a normal issue in their line of work. They will try and come up with a safety plan for you. Your therapist will work with you to understand why you feel this way. They are only required to step in if you are actively attempting or planning on taking your own life. Which is a decision that REQUIRES medical intervention. They will also not try and lock you away for self harm either!

Medical professionals aren't trying to punish you for your mental illness. That's not their job. Please do not lie to them about the mental health episode you are having.

I'm not saying every medical professional is the same. But I am trying to tell you that on average you will not be locked away in a mental hospital never to be seen again if you communicate that you're struggling. And the idea that you should lie to your therapist or doctor to avoid this is dangerous.

Medical malpractice happens, medical abuse happens, and this is a large reason as to why people become anti psych. This post isn't mean to disregard these people's experiences, but it is meant to highlight that it is disingenuous to portray this as the "standard result" of speaking up and asking for help.

Be honest with your therapist, be honest with your doctors, and be honest with your friends.

We lose so many people to suicide, and so many people suffer in silence with self harm. The world is a better place with you in it, and please don't ever let yourself be convinced that reaching out for help is too scary so suicide is the only answer.

Please stay alive, stay clean, and stay safe.

[ALSO TO NOTE:]

[This isn't meant to dog on people who are anti psych. I disagree with them completely but I also understand they are victims themselves. I don't think calling them names or being rude will help anyone.

I think they deserve kindness and empathy and space to heal, but calling out the fact that this is dangerous misinformation is also important and not an attempt to disregard them as victims.

So yeah please don't think anti psych ppl are villians or purposefully evil because of this.
