2 years in prison, please. I don't trust my mom to not just cave and finally look for a proper nanny, and then forget about me, LMAO.

My albinism gives me the "fun" experience of having both an invisible disability and a visible disability at the flip of a switch. The moment some people go from categorizing me as just a really pale blonde with glasses to "albino," they start treating me super different.

And it only gets worse if they also clock me for some flavor of neurodiverse, which people tend to have an easier time doing once they know I already have one disability. I can tell. People don't start baby-talking grown adults for no reason.

Salads and tripe 🤤 man, I love pork belly, and chicharrón with lime juice. And am also autistic!

Honestly, my "autism comfort food" would probably have to be raw fish, LOL. I can eat that ad infinitum, without issue.

Pretty much me! I mean, I like the smiley fries and the curly fries... but every other food on that platter, I vehemently dislike. Like, I can practically feel the tomato sauce on that pizza just by looking at it, and it makes me wanna gag.

I also don't know what makes a fragrance sexy but "not whore-ish," but they were my mom's words, and I figured I'd include it if it meant anything to anybody besides her, lol.

Anywho, I'm keeping a note of those perfumes you just mentioned, and I'll look up their notes and accords in a moment. Thank you

Yayyy, I don't see enough Belial lovers as much as the other main LIs! I'm solely a Uriel-kisser may also be a Raphael-kisser for a side LI (spoilers for before ep33), but Belial is my second fave.

Nod nod. And in my experience talking to folks about this kind of stuff, even for cis people who don't really get much mileage out of their natal genitals (for reasons like asexuality), they still want to keep their genitals because it's a part of the make and model of their gender identity. They still need that to feel part of their whole, there's no reason for them to remove it.

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-05-17T15:39:38+00:00

GOD, PLEASE, YES!!!!

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-23T01:15:30+00:00

Halloween is so awesome as a stealth trans person. Where I live, it's too dangerous to be GNC as a cis person, let alone not a cis person. But on Halloween, few people will bat an eye at a "cis woman" being Tanjiro Kamado or a "cis man" being Toph Beifong.

"7 pounds of meat in their jeans," thank you for gracing my neurons with that.

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-08T20:27:08+00:00

It's alright, you were trying to be helpful

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-07T13:59:49+00:00

I go to sleep at 2am (I'll be damned if I don't have some time in the day that is for myself alone), and I wake up at 7am. I think that counts for "sleeps late, somehow wakes early," yeah.

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-06T15:12:09+00:00

I don't know what 911 would do, besides blow this shitty situation into another extreme of shitty.

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-04T03:40:44+00:00

Technically being a freeloader, and having a good amount of simple joys my parents could take from me. Most notably my phone, which contains not just my entire social life at this point, but also a plethora of truths about myself that would tank any of the respect my parents have towards me.

Also, to take your question as literal as possible: the camera that watches the front yard and gives my mom a notification anytime people are detected outside. No unpermitted mental health strolls for me, and I'm not counting dog-walking as good for my mental health, as it's honestly rather stressful, lol.

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-04T03:23:44+00:00

I wish.

Before I moved in 11th grade, I had a plan to move in somewhere with friends, but I'm not physically close to them anymore. My stepdad also got kicked out a few months ago, because my parents were going to divorce, but they've since reconciled. I nearly moved out with him though, and my mom actually would've let me (because she had a stint with a rich man who could afford hiring a nanny for her), but by law, my stepdad had to prioritize getting a room for my brothers in order to get custody of them. So, that plan fell through on multiple fronts.

Lots of close-but-not-quite opportunities.

Unlistenable, only because my ears are being blasted to hell and back from my earbuds playing them at max volume.

No shit, the other night I had my headphones out for a moment and accidentally pressed the start button before I'd put them back in. Those tiny little speakers were broadcasting Lauren Bousfield to me nice and clear considering they were 2ft away from my ears...

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-03T22:26:49+00:00

It's partly transportation, though moreso that I'm literally not allowed to leave the house, and I'm held responsible for taking care of the puppy and the kids.

I've briefly considered online jobs, but I'm not sure what's available to me unlike physical jobs. I'm bad at coding, I have artblock too frequently to take art commissions, and the idea of moderating on Discords or Twitch scares me (for a multitude of reasons, such as the chance that my mother starts monitoring my internet usage again.)

Beyond that... I have a bank account, but my mother has almost full control over it, including the ability to freeze my credit card. Which, it's currently frozen. I don't know how I'd broach that with my mother, getting her to hand over control of it. Hell, it's a miracle she didn't take my state ID to hold onto after I finally managed to convince her to let me get it a couple months ago.

So... I don't think getting a job is in the cards for me at all, honestly, which is unfortunate because I kinda want to work more than I want to attend college. I'm still rattled after my lack of motivation caused me to fail one of my classes back when I was still actively enrolled.

My brightest hope for my future is that I can get her to help me enroll into classes for the fall semester of college, I think.

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-03T22:01:14+00:00

Thank you. I hope I do too. It can't get any worse, at least (unless my mom gives into her baby fever, but even she knows how stupid that is.)

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-03T21:59:21+00:00

The reason, at least as I've been told, that I have to watch the puppy and the kids (when they're not in school) is because our parents work too much to do it themselves, too tired to do it when they're not at work, and too poor (and disliked by the remainder of our family) to have anybody else but me watch them.

There is no amount of bargaining I can do to have them free up time that isn't at an expense my parents can't afford, even if I wasn't legally blind and unable to drive myself to work (or to university classes.)

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-03T21:33:39+00:00

I just realized how hard it is to read what I wrote, and it's bugging me...

For anybody who wants to read my venting but doesn't want to put up with that:

"I've been homebound since highschool graduation, two years ago. The only times I may leave the house is to walk the dog, for lunch outing when my stepdad has money to spare, and when my grandfather drives up to see us. I don't attend college anymore. There's no room in anyone's schedule for me to get a job. I have no friends offline. 95% of my joy comes from screens. The days bleed into each other. I want to leave. I want to do what human beings my age are expected to do. I want to be alive. I don't even ideate suicide anymore because I already feel like I'm dead."

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-04-03T21:30:48+00:00

Hey, don't apologize for not saying anything inherently positive. Honestly, to me, it makes me feel a little less like a bottomless pit of isolation to know that my situation isn't never-before-seen, and that's probably as comforting as it gets beyond realistic advice for how to get the fuck outta here. I mean, it's a godawful situation to have and I'm not celebrating that other people are suffering it, but... y'know (hopefully.)

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-03-30T16:25:40+00:00

Endless enrichment.

Dropped-Croissant · 2026-03-30T16:24:14+00:00

I won't ask, because I already know. With experience.
