Have I Told Y’all About My Husband’s Fork Theory?  If I Did Already, Pretend I Didn’t, I’m An

Have I told y’all about my husband’s Fork Theory?  If I did already, pretend I didn’t, I’m an old.

So the Spoon Theory is a fundamental metaphor used often in the chronic pain/chronic illness communities to explain to non-spoonies why life is harder for them. It’s super useful and we use that all the time. But it has a corollary.  You know the phrase, “Stick a fork in me, I’m done,” right? Well, Fork Theory is that one has a Fork Limit, that is, you can probably cope okay with one fork stuck in you, maybe two or three, but at some point you will lose your shit if one more fork happens.  A fork could range from being hungry or having to pee to getting a new bill or a new diagnosis of illness. There are lots of different sizes of forks, and volume vs. quantity means that the fork limit is not absolute. I might be able to deal with 20 tiny little escargot fork annoyances, such as a hangnail or slightly suboptimal pants, but not even one “you poked my trigger on purpose because you think it’s fun to see me melt down” pitchfork.

This is super relevant for neurodivergent folk. Like, you might be able to deal with your feet being cold or a tag, but not both. Hubby describes the situation as “It may seem weird that I just get up and leave the conversation to go to the bathroom, but you just dumped a new financial burden on me and I already had to pee, and going to the bathroom is the fork I can get rid of the fastest.”

“Please, Live On. You And I Cannot Be The Same Anymore, So, Build A New Future You Will Be Proud Of.

“Please, live on. You and I cannot be the same anymore, so, build a new future you will be proud of. Find a new family, find new goals but please… Don’t recall those memories tainted with selfishness.” Lulled the other in the girl’s mind. 

But even if she said that, this body they used to share was still belonging to “the other”. Those scars, those changes… it weren’t hers. Even if she tried to live a new life, she would end up only being the shadow of that old self, not just for herself but to others too.

No matter how hard she would try, in the end, the person called Emma would still haunt her.

posting niche fic on ao3 is like releasing a small creature into the wild and hoping it survives and finds sustenance

*No. I have no qualms about how it affects the story; I just don't like deviating from canon in works in general. **I like playing around with it in fanfics/AUs, but I don't think it should actually happen in canon. ***Yes, a thousand years of cattle children and the general demon population suffering should have been compensation enough. ****Combination of two or more listed options since tumblr won't let us have multiple choice voting.

Sort of a continuation of this poll from last year.

Victor: (Faints after seeing the giant corpse man he has created)

The Creature: Father is...evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

it should be illegal for reddit anime dudes to have Killua profile pictures because it contributes to the misconception that Killua is your average reddit dude anime boy like no no you dont understand. He's a gay twelve year old with infinite money and dresses exactly how you would expect a gay twelve year old with infinite money to dress. He has one of the best character arcs of all time in which at one point he does impromptu brain surgery on himself as an allegory for overcoming trauma. He has a trans little sister and aggressively corrects anyone who misgenders her. He fights with yo yos and a skateboard. He almost got killed by playing darts with an ant once. He spent a million dollars on robot shaped chocolate. He looks like tjis
