Unfortunately, yes.

They’re not trying to frame you that way, and if it bothers you so much why don’t you make your own videos and articles or, like, Iunno, turn down interviews. You can do that. You can turn down interviews. I do it all the time.

I mean, same, nebulously. (Also? Hell yeah. Feels good. Feels organic.)

Don’t ask me, I just think it’s funny.

Yeah, it sucks that they’re beating a dead ponyta and all, but what about the disabled kids that were able to start journeys after you actually for real inspired them.

those stories arent written for disabled kids. half the time they dont even interview me for them, im just the subject of some article for hearing people so they can wonder ‘well.... if this poor child can do such a great thing, why am i not doing all those great things?’

A Lycaenid butterfly found from India to Japan. The males are fairly dull, but the females have a deep violet-blue spot on the wings.

The caterpillars eat Stone Oak (Lithocarpus) leaves, and are guarded by ants. That latter association is common among the Lycaenidae. Doesn't protect the eggs from older caterpillars though, who will cut off any section of leaf with unhatched eggs on them and let them fall to the ground.

The other 200 species in the genus are found across much of Asia and down to Australia.
