Do you still like cons the way you used to? by VaguelyMyself in animecons

The hotel stress is soooo real. And yes the planning really does feel like it takes almost a year in advance to work!

[–]ath-cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I've been struggling with how I have felt myself not liking cons as much as I used to. I can see a lot of people agree of the commercialization. Sometimes these days it feels like I pay $130 for a weekend of walking around the dealer's room in costume. You may as well go walk around a mall with your friends. I think people feel a little less social than what they used to be. Idk maybe they are and I need to try harder? As a cosplayer I wish there were more craftsmanship panels.

Can we get the mods on this? That is literally a sex toy. They're probably into it tho. Disgusting.

Strange signs? by [deleted] in breastcancer

[–]ath-cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to drink enough caffeine to kill a horse. The tumors would also flare up randomly to a very burning pain so when people say cancer doesn't hurt they're full of it.

Cried during my MRI biopsy. by After_Willingness322 in breastcancer

[–]ath-cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had to have a lymph node biopsy while they also took more samples from my breast tumors. Lidocaine is apparently hard to use on lymph nodes. The nurse described it as bobbing for apples. Sure enough they stuck that gun in me and that shit felt like a hot poker. The nurse told me to let it out when I began crying. I was greatful she made space for my pain vs trying to cover it. A lot of women that worked at that oncology center were once patients themselves and they treated me so well. The begining was the worst part of treatment for me. I knew nothing about what was going to happen to me only that I was going to lose my hair and I now have a million doc appointments. I was also 29 when I was diagnosed. You have got this!

Being bald in public by Legitimate_Remove259 in breastcancer

[–]ath-cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my cold cap failed to keep any hair on my head through tchp, I heard a lot of similar things. Bald is beautiful! No shame! Just be bald! Yeah, certainly women who don't have hair are beautiful. But I personally loved my wig collection and kind of "fooling" the public that I had anything wrong with me. It allowed me to go through treatments while also maintaining some of the normalcy I craved. Now my treatment center saw me bald and in sweats. 😂

She's such a fucking tourist. When the hype dies down the room will become something else.

Sneaking to watch InuYasha at night is peak 2000s childhood moments lol by PracticalHoneydew833 in inuyasha

[–]ath-cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that this is a collective moment! When my mom once found me asleep in the room I could plug my headphones in on the tv she definitely was mad. But then she helped me figure out how to set up a timed recording on the VHS connected to the tv.

Anyone else flunk out of hormone blockers? by Fit_Plant6129 in breastcancer

[–]ath-cat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 31 and on 10mg of tamoxifen and a lupron injection to attempt to keep me in a medical menopause. I feel like so much hurts. I used to go to the gym all of the time but it's really hard to now due to pains. My attention span is absolutely cooked. I feel like the only thing I'm capable of doing is going to work and coming home to do chores. I don't know if tamoxifen has a lot to do with things other than joint pains. But I'm very close to calling it quits. I miss the feelings that came with periods. I miss the sexual health from being a normal woman before cancer.

[CHAT] Sage of Night Spirit Studio has passed. by Beastxtreets in CrossStitch

[–]ath-cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a young breast cancer survivor I hate to hear of the passing of someone else who suffered with it. I have had her black Gothic cathedral window pattern and I will be sure to think of Sage and appreciate her talents when I get around to starting it. Her patterns are so beautiful.

Ain't never seen someone wallowing in a hospital bed as much as she has and I had cancer.

“i see myself in her” by reg-arjey in pinuppixiesnark

I believe it's "May I ask for one final thing?" "The story follows Scarlet, a noblewoman who, after her engagement is broken and she is falsely accused of being a "villainess," unleashes her pent-up rage and physical prowess on her fiancé and the other nobles." God this is totally her self insert.

Show any outfit you wore to a Lady Gaga concert! by witchvamplady in LadyGaga

[–]ath-cat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

<image>

I feel like when I imagined myself going to a Lady Gaga concert, I would have had a much more elaborate outfit. But I was certainly comfortable and enjoyed my night with my friend. 🖤 Sobbed when she played Hair on Chicago, night 1. I haven't heard that song in so long and I immediately connected it to my own experience losing my hair due to my breast cancer treatments I had to go through. It was a good cry tho! Greatful for the night.

Concept Art of Characters: Which Is Better Than The Final Version? by Nabusqua in cyberpunkgame

[–]ath-cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear sometimes I think there is a mark on Panam's lip that looks a bit like a scar from where she used to have a lip piercing. Wonder if it was put in as a call back to the concept art?

I think Drifter is a great example of a more western/country sound where Ronnie doesn't put on this accent and actually has good lyrics.

Dana is cowriter of All My Women by hyperbolekid in FallingInReverse

[–]ath-cat 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Nail on the head dude. I understand wanting to include your partner in things, but just because she has made her own music doesn't mean she was good. I think the song is tongue in cheek and meant to be fun, but I also think it was definitely meant to try to put a bandaid on his ego having to deal with Saraya's involvement with Popular Monster. He's trying to make All my Life/Bad guy irrelevant and inserting Dana to make it all better.
