this is not life-threatening, but also who wants weeks of diarrhea and a fucking parasite in them lol. if you suspect you've already had this and it's passed, i would see a doctor. you might need an antiparasitic anyway. if you're actively sick, see a doctor and they might be able to prescribe medication to help you get over it faster.

try to avoid eating raw vegetables, scrub fruit with a produce brush and rinse thoroughly with water. again, don't bother with premade greens or bagged salads. if you buy lettuce, remove the outer 2-3 layers of leaves.

I love those who imagine Eridian culture with no relationship hierarchy.

I love those who imagine Eridian culture with no distinction between romantic and platonic love.

I love those who understand that Rocky's love for Adrian doesn't diminish his love for Grace.

I love those who see Rocky and Grace as a queerplatonic relationship.

I love you those who see Rocky and Grace as friends.

I love those who think Grace realized his aroaceness because of Rocky.

I love those who think Grace knew it long before meeting him.

I love those who see Stratt and Grace as queerplatonic.

I love those who see Stratt and Grace as friends.

I love those who see that Stratt betraying Grace was devastating and important even with no romantic strings attached.

I love those who see both Stratt and Grace as aroace.

I love those who think Grace is aroace but never finds the words to describe it.

I love those who think Grace finds the term and everything clicks into place.

I love those who think Grace is sex or romance repulsed

I love those who think Grace is sex or romance favourable

I love aspec people who project onto Grace.

I love allo people who find Grace aroace.

So I am once again asking all allo people who write bloodymary to make it just a little bit less strictly romantic and/or sexual.

Look, you don't have to stop shipping. I don't like telling people what they can and cannot enjoy, because I think that trying to decide what is "acceptable" to enjoy sucks so much joy out of fandom. But please for a moment at least consider an aroace lense to this.

Make them platonic. Make them a qpr (and I do mean genuinely changing how they interact with each other, not just throwing the label on it and calling it a day--like for example maybe kissing is fine but they don't make out. Or maybe how open Grace is to physical affection changes based on the day and they figure out a rhythm.) If you're dead set on romantic feelings--weird hill to die on but okay maybe you just want to write/draw them being intimate--you could make Grace demi and highlight how unusual of an experience this is and how out of his depth he feels. I'm also a fan of Simon being some flavor of aroace too, and I can only imagine intimacy was something he never really got to experience at all, or pushed down in favor of his other duties.

Reblogging with my comment on another post because I had a lot to say. And I'm honestly scared to post this because I don't want to rock the boat or ruin anyone else's enjoyment of the ship, frankly feel free to ignore me and move on with your life. But this is also my Opinions Blog where I can say whatever the fuck I want.
