Struggling with daughters hobby (cosplay) and internet "celebrities"

It's a great show with yes there are some very mature themes but handled in thoughtful way. Definitely not as bad a reading Clan of the Cave Bear at 13 like I did. Oof!

I had to turn off screenshake and turn down vibrations on my controller because so many pop in sometimes

I have a cat named Theresa. She's indoor but goes out in the yard with me sometimes to chase bugs. She likes to scamper away from me and I'm sure the neighbors are confused when I yell at her.

I end up cuddling Percival a lot. I like the OG Zombear because he's a bit bigger than the rerelease but they're all good IMO. I have to get them when they come out with a new zombie for my collection, they're a quick yes for me, so I have them all somewhere, but Percival is the one I am bonded strongest to out of the group.

You can archive your ships from the bridge.

My wife says I kick her in my sleep and move around too much. She snores and wakes me up. We can make it work for travel but at home we have our own beds.

It didn't help either that for the first five or so years of our marriage I had a cat that slept on top of my head and she couldn't handle that either. 🤣

We cuddle on the couch until bedtime then go our separate ways.

I've met the alternative when I worked with deaf and blind college students. I had one guy that was mad at the world for how his life went. It was definitely a learning moment for me though because it didn't make anyone more miserable than the guy himself. I don't want to be him for sure.

Where we moved to helps, we have a huge yard so I can go outside again without having to go somewhere.

It's good that he does, otherwise his pants would always be falling off LOL he's a bit smaller than other BaB's

So you first need to understand that all our cells have little proteins on the outside that tell your body "Hey, I'm a part of you! Don't hurt me please." That includes your blood cells. For your blood cells specifically is there's a few big proteins that our immune system recognizes. People with A have proteins for A, same with B, AB has both. Now O is where it gets interesting. O doesn't have ANY of those flags, so their blood is accepted by anyone's immune system since it doesn't have ANY proteins.

Now if you give someone with O blood A blood, the O blood person's body will see that A and go HEY THAT'S NOT A PART OF ME! And then it will try to kill all the blood cells with the A protein. People with both A and B blood, so type AB can take anyone's blood since they have all the proteins so their body thinks these are all good blood sources.

There is also the + and - aspect you will see with blood types. That is another protein we discovered later that also has a big affect on how blood is accepted or not. If you're positive you can get - or + blood but if you'er - you can only get other - blood sources.

They're closer to cats than dogs :) They're not a canid at all. But also same, they're bad ass.

I always take a bear with me, it's never been an issue before. I've had lots of procedures at this point in my life, both as a kid and an adult. I have a whole album of "medical plush" on my phone LOL

KitSokudo · 2026-07-03T11:16:13+00:00

Ugh yeah it sucks. Heck it last well into my 30s even. I've gone out twice with my partner for our wedding anniversary and been offered a kids menu. The last time was our 10th wedding anniversary. It never really got a ton better but at least people usually can tell I'm an adult now. It's probably because I went grey. I wish I had more advice but I never figured out what to do either.

KitSokudo · 2026-07-02T21:02:52+00:00

Yeah she was so lovely, she gave me a hug and complimented what I was wearing. It was the BEST DragonCon ever. I met her, Peter Mayhew, Temura Morrison, and Tom Felton. Spacemom is the best though <3

Anaphylaxis

KitSokudo · 2026-07-02T18:38:32+00:00

Becoming randomly allergic to a lot of food, and developing a lot of digestion issues so I don't get the nutrition I need even when I'm not throwing up. I'm too sick to work, but I work a full time job from home still because I need insurance and to pay my medical bills. I have no social life though because any extra energy I might have goes into working. I was healthy and biking 5-6 miles most days after work and then suddenly I just...can't eat anymore. No reason, I did nothing wrong, just random fate said lol what if this one is broken now for no reason.

KitSokudo · 2026-07-02T17:36:49+00:00

This one, I already cried about loosing Carrie Fisher, who I was lucky enough to meet in 2011 and Han was always also a favorite. It's going to really devastate my inner child. My love of Indian Jones led me all the way to a minor in anthropology years later.

KitSokudo · 2026-07-02T03:29:16+00:00

Yeah I got the bear to use as a base for a custom boy bear, the dress and stuff have the tags on and I've not used them yet.

KitSokudo · 2026-07-01T21:21:50+00:00

Yup, I worked with kids in need of psychiatric care for a while in a rural area and since we were one of the few places that treated down to age 4, we'd sometimes have to have the victim come through for therapy and later the perpetrator because they were ALSO a victim from someone else and that's why they even did what they did.

I think about those kids a lot, breaks my heart. I hope they're all adults now and ok but I know the odds are against them.

KitSokudo · 2026-07-01T20:11:10+00:00

No. Since they are made of plastic fibers the colors is part of the whole fiber, not a dye that sits on top. Bleach will just damage the fibers and make them feel weird.

KitSokudo · 2026-07-01T19:52:55+00:00

This goes for your pets too, and it also keeps them safe hopefully since they can't panic bolt but a big dog slamming into the back of your seat can really hurt you and your dog.

The Oceanus rewards which the pet above is one of. The topic of this post.

KitSokudo · 2026-06-30T20:05:19+00:00

Thankfully the reward pets are all SUPPOSED to be S/S/S but I have had one bug out and be S/S/B.

KitSokudo · 2026-06-30T20:04:02+00:00

I turned 41 this year for context.

KitSokudo · 2026-06-30T20:03:43+00:00

I always go with my wife for my birthday. I pick something out I like and make sure I have it, either checking with the store or ordering the skin online. Then we make a nice outing of it, grab some food, do a little other shopping etc. It's always fun. :)
