I thought this would be fun to do!

Depending on numbers or COMPLEXITY I may have to limit slots, for the moment they're just open to anyone

her knife exists to punish those who hurt people who love them. it is an artifact that is just like tyranny herself, very old and very new.

"she is here to save that which can be saved. and if she cannot save it, she is here to punish those that destroy it."

tyranny was shaped by the shadow of suffering and has something inside of her far older than her physical form that deeply understands the pain that kattigan has suffered. the pain of losing his family.

Not to mention how EASY it is to get accommodations in MH. There's no fight. You mention you struggle with something and the reaction is almost always "oh really? Okay here's something that may help."

It's all tied to the diversity of monster types and their different needs of course. But it can resonate with people IRL too.

I've wanted to do a video on MH and disability for a while because I think it's really interesting. But I'll probably never get around to it.

every fat person you know for the most part probably has a story like this, of medical neglect. many of the stories i've heard personally are when the complaint or the doctor wasn't related at all, like being told to lose weight at the ear nose and throat doctor or at the dentist. it's straight up just bias. it's such a thing that in the show Shrill it's portrayed, when Aidy Bryant goes to the gynecologist and her doctor suggests she get gastric bypass.

the studies on health and fatness are simply not that black and white and there is basically no research that shows that more than an incredibly tiny minority of people can lose weight and keep it off for more than like 2 years. bodies have set points that they gravitate towards, it's not a personal failure. this also is how the weight loss industry succeeds so well - repeat customers.

some of the harm associated with fatness is also due to weight cycling, which is very hard on your body and is even worse if you get off a GLP1, which according to a recent study causes weight to be regained at a rate that is 4x faster than without taking a GLP1.

you don't have to hate yourself. you don't have to hate other people for their body type either. it makes me so sad to see the thinspo tag going around again in 2026 a lot like it was back in the day.

This means:

If you draw a hard line between "drug" and "medicine" based on current legality where you live (or any other criteria) you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to do massive harm to someone's body, mind or well-being you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to contribute meaningfully to someone's healing, function or happiness you've gone wrong somewhere,
