originally i was going to wait until my health stopped freaking out before i wrote a more cohesive and coherent post than the last one so this is essentially just That Post but with more information, but apparently my health decided to nosedive rather rapidly so i’m just going to bang out what i can in this clear spot between like, 30 different medications that all make me feel tired and complications that leave me sore and itchy.

through mostly pushing myself to run errands even when i physically felt i couldn’t and through monetising my hobby as a nail tech, managed to scrape together a full £2700+, enough for my mother, our two cats, and i to stay in a relatively clean budget hotel that lets you keep your animals with you under the express promise from my family that my grandmother’s house would be put up for sale in june/july and sold by august and we would then get our inheritance and we would finally finally be financially stable and free of this family. i was manipulated into spending £2000 of my saved money on doing the house up to selling standard, but assured i’d be paid back within the week at the latest.

six months later i have yet to see hide nor hair of my money back from them and the house was only put up for sale at the end of august, forcing my mother and i to spread ourselves very thinly to keep our bills paid and ourselves fed.

the good news is the house is finally being sold, albeit for a lowballed number, but the bad news is that because my family has….basically robbed me of my money (and are consistently lying and trying to run rings around us that they can’t afford to pay me back my own money while they do things like ‘take loans to go on luxury holidays’) we now don’t have that money to stay in a budget hotel, let alone to save for a deposit.

in response to this final fucking bastard move my family is trying to pull, my health has absolutely shattered in the past month. my chonic illness has flaired MASSIVELY and PAINFULLY to the point where i am honestly considering surgery to end it, and i have been struck with three stress-related conditions which all require medication that makes me exceptionally tired, and i’ve been back to hospital a further two times in two weeks, though thankfully not A&E again.

usually i would offer writing for money as i do in fact have a writing blog with a ko-fi but with my health as it is all i can do is mostly bedrest and attempt to get my strength back.

the ideal target we need to hit for moving is about £3300, which covers a two week budget hotel stay, moving vans, storage, and bills with a small amount to put toward a deposit, and currently i have about £800. honestly though, i’d settle for just my £2000 back. 

i hate asking for money, i hate having to beg strangers for help even if they’re willing to give it, i hate the uncertainty, which is why i worked so damn hard to get that fucking money in the first place but i have to accept that i’m not going to be paid back and that my physical health is absolutely the priority for once, so i can’t push myself to work like i usually would.

if you can help with money my paypal is here

if you can’t help with money, please just boost this post, i know we’re all poor and tired.

and finally please just keep me in your thoughts if you can because i have been in so much pain the past two weeks, i’ve cried more than ever over my health, and i’ve been genuinely scared a few times.

i can….just about cover the deposit and 6 months in advance and moving van (we dont get money from the sale of the house until another month after that date), but i can’t cover estate agent fees (anywhere between £500 - £950), so again, any help would be appreciated.

which means that our search for a new home is postponed.

which means that me getting my money back is postponed.

which means i have to waste more money on staying here and on storage.

i know it looks like a lot of notes on this post, but a lot of them are me queuing this post like 50 times a day.

The title screen, which is around a minute long, is constantly flashing

The end scene, which is around 10 minutes, is also filled with flashing, almost without a pause

There are several instances of flashing during the movie as well, either because of the animation style or because the of the plot (sometimes both)

But just like in incredibles 2, the plot relies heavily on flashing and there’s a LOT more than in incredibles

PLEASE be careful because there is a LOT of flashing lights in this movie (and no warning)

Watch out for people saying any of the following:

Aces aren’t a part of the LGBTQ+ community.

People who use the term MOGAI make the LGBTQ+ community a laughingstock.

Trans women are biologically male and trans men are biologically female.

Queer is a slur that no one should ever use.

You need dysphoria to be transgender.

Lesbians aren’t lesbians if they have relationships with trans women and gay men aren’t gay if they have relationships with trans men.

Transtrenders hurt the trans community.

People who identify as <asexual/aromatic/transgender/bisexual/insert non-standard pronouns here> are stealing resources from the community.

Watch out because the people that say these kinds of things are trying to convince you to cut off ties from your community and believe only what they tell you to believe.

That’s part of the nature of authoritarianism. They need to spread their ideas to feel safe so they either need you to believe what they believe or they need to attack you for not agreeing with them.
