Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven't lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn't matter. It's okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.

That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you're struggling with, and it'll come up with what you need + other related how-to's:)

If you're having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:

How to clean dishes by hand

How to make your bed (with visual demonstrations of each step!)

How to fold clothes (with visual demonstrations of each step!)

How to take a shower & dry yourself off (also provides ways to shave beards, armpits, legs and genitals)

How to shave legs, armpits, beards, pubic areas, etc. (a more in-depth guide)

How to mop the floor

How to sweep the floor

How to swallow pills

How to make small talk

How to make eye contact in different situations (or how to avoid it while still looking natural)

It's also perfectly okay if these don't help or aren't appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.

God, I can't tell you how much the "there's not enough enrichment in my enclosure" joke has helped my mental health. Because, for some reason I can't comprehend, pretending that I'm a zoo keeper caring for an animal (which is also me) just makes everything easier to comprehend. Like "Your head gets screwey when you're apartment is messy" just doesn't carry as much resonance as "The tiger becomes agitated when its enclosure is cluttered" because then I'll be like, no shit? The tiger? I've gotta keep things nice and clean for the tiger.

Okay, like... Hot take/random thought.

So like, hi. I want to become active in this community here, so I'm just gonna start posting stuff like this.

Moving on, I've been reading a lot of fanfics and comics lately, and one thing I've noticed a lot of is Remus being envious of his brother. While yes, I agree he would be jealous of the attention Roman gets, its not for the soft reason others like to portray him as.

Remus isn't upset that Roman is seen as the "good" creativity, or that he gets major creative sway over what is done, it's that he gets more attention then him.

Remus is intrusive thoughts, so his goal is to be as nit picky with C!Thomas as he can be. He wants to have every chance to insert himself into his life, and be the spotlight! With Roman being there, it's harder to get into C!Thomas' mind with a creative view here already.

Now, moving on from that, another thing I see is people portraying Remus as deviated when Janus said his very major line to Roman:

"Thank God you don't have a mustache Roman, otherwise, between you and Remus, I wouldn't know who the evil twin is."

Now, while this would seem like it would hurt Remus, coming from possibly his best friend, it's not. He would love this comment.

Now, I get if you want to portray Remus like this in your comics, fan fics, whatever, that's great! Still will love your work, support you, and all that. I just wanna point out why he wouldn't respond that way.

Now, why would Remus like this? Because he'd see it as a compliment. Think of it, he's intrusive thoughts. He wants to bug C!Thomas any way he can, and this is an amazing way to do it. Why? It's straight up saying C!Thomas is a bad person.

That statement directly tells Thomas he's not a truly good person all over again. Yes, he got that from DWIT, but now he has been bluntly told a part of him is evil, and that only serves to make Remus stronger.

Remus gets his power from bothering Thomas, and this is his biggest step up. After a moment where he was told the truth from a side named deceit, he knows that this sentence is true. Thomas is then left with this line and must come to terms with what he is. And that's hard when your morality is already thrown into wack.

That line is one of the major stepping points in the series that I think will play a major roll in this upcoming finally. Remember, Remus said he had a big surprise coming for him.

That's all from me. And remember, this is just my opinion. You're free to think anyway you want, do what you want, I am not saying everyone has to do things this way. I'm more so saying this as a way to show people how I think. My apologies if someone has posted this, not my intention to copy them, I just haven't seen something like this and wanted to voice how I see our local rat man.

Man, I love scrolling on AO3 and finding a book with like... 400 words max, 1 chapter, get a wall of tags. Like an absolute bucket load of them just dumbed out on the table for someone to play a weird version of Scrabble with, and when you go reading through them you find the most absurd tag in there! Like "Rignle is fixing the spongus, as a treat." So you just sit there with the most... Wtf face ever because there's like no other context! I guess Ringle can fix the Spongus! I dunno!
