Ooh, Very Interesting Dynamic!

oooh, I wanna join in.

I did both C's and Shed's:

no bingo here, but I did get one with Shed!

and here's the one I made for Seigmun, what I am calling my world:

gently poking @nerdexer and asking if he wants to play.

Writing Trope Bingo!

I was tagged by @simonnebethel, I tried my best but no Bingo unfortunately

Tagging @illarian-rambling (getting you back), @peresephones, @abalonetea, @patternwelded-quill, @foragedbonesblog and open tag to anybody else who would like to join!

Bingo for Testaments of the Green Sea Book 1 and 2

Congratulations!

Im hoping to recreate these recipes myself oneday

300 Followers!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Recipe Poll!

Thank y'all so much! Its really encouraging to know that people are interested in the world and the characters that I've made!

When I reached 100 followers, to celebrate I recreated my MCs favorite food, kipsha and then for 200 followers I made Otilia's favorite food, daropaka.

Now that I have reached 300 followers I am making this poll with a list of the favorite foods of a few of my OCs so that I can show y'all a little more about the foods and customs of the Green Sea! Let me know which y'all would be most interested in seeing, and I will make it and post about it with a recipe and a bit of a history on that particular dish!

These are the favorite foods of Ninma, Wadikir, Istek, Dati, Shela, Akard, Zenit, and Penetinos (in that order).

Thank you again everyone, and here is to hoping that one day I'll get the chance to show you all of these recipes. In future polls I'll start adding some of the dishes from characters in the other books. And if this is the first time you've seen something from me on tumblr, vote too if you want and take a look at some of the other stuff on my blog!

Reblogging so i can remember to buy this book

"There's only room enough for one of us"

From @evan-collins90

*say cheese*

oh! new pfp btw!

he probably went to go fuck with gran

so the thing about my family is that we have two ancestors on my dad’s side who were buried in france, where I currently live. one died in the spanish civil war, and one died prior doing…we don’t know what. but he somehow managed to get buried in père lachaise. 

so anyhow, my gran sends me a message like “pls put flowers on ur uncle samuel’s grave because he’s gone over a century with none and it will make the ghost mad if he hasn’t already” because my family spends time in europe but never long enough to go all the way to père lachaise and give ya boy samuel jr. his death rites. so im like “ok gran I can do that” bc im a good grandson and you do not fuck with gran she doesn’t DESERVE THAT 

i figure out which plot he’s on and ask someone specifically where you can find uncle samuel jr. and they tell me where and so I arrive at the junction and. 

HE GONE. 

WHERE DID YOU GO UNCLE SAMUEL. 

*celine dion’s smash hit “my heart will go on” playing in the distance* 

in other words either someone stole my entire great great uncle samuel or he has risen again, ready to party in paris for all of eternity. 

conclusion: a vampire is the next evolutionary step for pirrahnaas

So, I read this and went down a bit of a research rabbit hole, and these are the articles that I thought would be the most helpful/ interesting/ compelling.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6526283/ This is an academic article from the NIH that's more about SZPD in general and is what I started with.

I looked into @i-am-a-dragon-dragon suggestion of Esme Wijun Wang's book The Collected Schizophrenias, and while I couldn't find a (legal) place to download it for free, I did find this interview that Esme did with PBS about her history with her diagnosis.

I found this book Self Study: Notes on the Schizoid Condition, and this website has a link to a free pdf https://press.ici-berlin.org/doi/10.37050/hs-01/index.html

This old NYTimes article is more of an overview/case study about a man with an unspecified Schizoid disorder. I found it really compelling because it does have a happy ending so to speak

https://www.brightquest.com/schizoid-personality-disorder/caring-for-someone-with-schizoid-personality-disorder/ This is more of an outsiders manual for helping people live with SZPD, and giving some overview for therapy options.

If you want more reading, I recommend going to the References section of the Wiki article on Schizoid Personality Disorder. There are a lot of links there and while they are very high-brow academically written, they are very thorough.

I hope this helps! good luck.

I know this is something of a long shot, but I feel like of all the Tumblr users I know of, you’re the most likely to have an answer.

Recently, I was diagnosed with szpd (Schizoid Personality Disorder), which explains a decent chunk of my life struggles.

Do you have any stories, advice, or resources that you can share with me?

I actually know very little about SZPD or related disorders, so I'm going to turn this out to the floor to see if someone has recommended reading for both of us.

At least the democrats are self aware enough to have a sense of humor about this

On the one hand I would prefer a functional government, but on the other, the sheer comedy and Schadenfreude of the House Republicans descending into petty, humiliating chaos while the Dem folks are showing up with literal popcorn and chanting for their own Speaker nominee like this is a high school sports game is filling me with manic glee.
