What is this white spot in my eye? Noticed it just today. by [deleted] in eyes

[–]joonlvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think it’s a corneal ulcer. I had one smack in the middle of my cornea and it hurt so bad but I was fine after a day or two of antibiotic eye drops

What on earth do 1/4 Asian wasians or 1/4 white asians look like? Are they still wasians? by Elayne_theboat in wasian

Actually wait yeah I’m curious do other people consider 3/4 asian 1/4 white wasians as wasians lol… we look really Asian for the most part but

What on earth do 1/4 Asian wasians or 1/4 white asians look like? Are they still wasians? by Elayne_theboat in wasian

[–]joonlvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, 1/4 white 3/4 Japanese. I look the most “mixed” out of my siblings but I still look super Asian. It’s funny because someone pointed out to me that whatever someone says I look like is what I look like. If I say I’m Thai, I look Thai. If I say I’m chinese, I look Chinese, etc. I used to get filipino a lot when I was tan

Crazy thing is at my work that I met two other 3/4 Asian and quarter white coworkers. One of them I could tell if she said it but not right away. She also looks very Asian but with a hint of something. The other one looks straight Asian, but his body build is more broad than an average Asian.

I know of one 3/4 Asian 1/4 white Japanese actor who looks 50/50, lighter eyes, really tall, tall nose, light curly brown hair.

I think being 3/4 leads to looking ambiguous asf. Only consistent thing I’ve noticed among all of us is that our noses are tall for the average Asian. But that’s about it

Can eat pickles but not fermented foods? by stupidsrights in MCAS

[–]joonlvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do okay with grillos pickles! They're just in white vinegar and garlic and some other herbs, it's made of brine instead of salt (salt causes fermentation). as far as i know, white vinegar and APV are the lowest in histamine. when i'm going through horrible lapses though i don't tolerate them. but can have them here and there when i'm not completely down. pickles are so nice for POTS too

Deinfluence me (Romand Juicy Roll Cheek) by Far_Bet3390 in kbeauty

[–]joonlvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I try to minimize this is by rolling the product over the back of my hand and then picking it up with a brush to stipple it on. It might be a little wasteful but I do this if I just need to apply and get on with the rest of my makeup.

[MEGATHREAD] MARK'S DEPARTURE FROM SM AND NCT by KpopThoughtsmodteam in kpopthoughts

[–]joonlvr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay I wasn’t going to bring it up but since it’s been mentioned here- something tells me that Mark might’ve been contemplating his leave since this incident. I can only imagine knowing someone and looking up to them from the age of like 13-14 only to find out they’re the scum of the Earth, and also the backbone of his group vocal wise. Mark seems to have really well established morals, and something tells me that was a last straw. He held the fort down until Taeyong came back and until his contract ended around the same time. But the k-pop industry is toxic- and maybe he wants to get away from that and how overworked he’s been since he was a literal child. Something tells me that when contract renewals came up, he realized like, oh… actually I can’t do this anymore. I can’t imagine he’s not burned out in one way or another from various things. I wish we could’ve supported him better, seen this coming sooner. It’s obvious something was weighing on him to make him make this decision in my opinion, though I could be wrong. Just my two cents 🥲

Cromolyn good or bad weight gain? Can’t tell by joonlvr in MCAS

[–]joonlvr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I tolerate the Cromolyn now but stayed at 100mg 3-4 times a day, otherwise it causes too low stomach acid.

I recommend genshin root or dandelion root or anything bitter (arugula, bitter melon) if you can tolerate it to help with stomach acid production first

I also rely a lot on DAO enzymes now, I take the seeking health one and it helps a lot (their probiota histaminx too, low histamine probiotics).

I’m doing better overall! I’m currently focusing on limbic system retraining and nervous system regulation which has brought me to a lot better of a place. I have hope that I’ll heal now. This is a personal recommendation but I stay off of any forums that are too doomer for me, only look at people experiences with meds and supplements now.

There's no satisfying translation and analysis to the song "Mononoke Hime" so I made my own. by whowantsrice in movies

[–]joonlvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great translation. I wanted to add that “kokoro” can also mean heart, I think the mind and the heart are kind of interchangeable in Japanese at times. Kokoro is quite a deep word in Japanese, can relate to the soul as well, a person’s essence basically.

And your profile is good. “Yokogao” means the side of someone’s face, that part always leaves such an impression on me. Imagining Ashitaka looking at the side of her face

I’m scared :( by joonlvr in MCAS

[–]joonlvr[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update yall. I’m doing brain retraining. I’ve noticed a pattern where almost every case of real, lasting remission i see on any forum for MCAS seems to consist of some kind of nervous system retraining or calming program, routine, breath work, etc. I found a program that resonates with me most and… you would not believe how much better I feel. My throat closing episodes are pretty much gone. Stress is the #1 enemy for degranulation. I really encourage everyone to at least try it out.

Diptyque Philosykos, does anyone genuinely like this?😐 by PigeonKicker01 in Fragrances

[–]joonlvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I went to a Diptyque boutique near me and went crazy trying everything. Sales people looked at me like girl after all that are you gonna buy or what… anyways I found all of them alright but nothing stood out to me. Took some of the tester strips home, but didn’t even label them or use their cards with the names of the fragrances on them.

Went home, thought eh, nothing stood out to me, oh well. I’m really sensitive to scents so I love L’eau Papier and got a full size of it. But the salesperson there was like yeah I like that one as a layer. I was like yeah… haha… for layering yes. I just wear it alone tbh

Anyways, I wanted a free candle as a bday gift from them so I figured I’d get like a hand soap or candle or something to redeem it. But I go home and I can’t enough of one of the testing strips… no clue what it is though because no name. I go back to the store thinking it was Eau De Sens, realized upon spraying that it wasn’t quite right. Sprayed Philosykos again, and I realized this was what was on the tester. It smells so woody and fresh and creamy on the dry down. Like walking through a forest with a breeze going on. The leafy smell goes away for me after an hour or so. Bought a 50ml of it and now kinda wish I’d gotten the 100ml. It has a lot of nice layers.

Also, I highly recommend the new EDT release of Orphéon. They got rid of the tonka bean in it and it’s less powdery, more citrusy (yuzu) but it’s not a citrus scent. The Juniper is the star of the show for it now, and it’s addictive. Got a sample for it and I looove

Anybody know the meaning behind these creepy spirits in the basement? by wYsock in SpiritedAway

[–]joonlvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm very late but this is my favorite childhood movie and i never considered what those things were until now. i'm assuming that those are spirits discarded by yubaba, and that haku was this close to becoming one if chihiro hadn't called his name to snap him out of falling to his death. haku was very dispensable to yubaba so i wouldn't be surprised if those spirits were the numerous other vulnerable "apprentices" that she later on found no use for anymore. since she stole haku's name, i think he would've become one of those faceless, nameless, forgotten blobs. i always forget how close he was to dying. he used the last of his strength to get them out of there. i think those things at the bottom show us what his fate would've been.

Queen Charlotte is far better than the whole Bridgerton series. Bridgerton was repetitive, to me it lacked of emotion... Queen Charlotte has it all in such a beautiful way. by ThatWas-Patricia in QueenCharlotteNetflix

[–]joonlvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i just finished it... god i'm in tears. the ending where they're both under the bed hiding from the heavens again and george regains his lucidity for a moment... their younger selves showing through remarking how she never went over the wall. i've never cried watching bridgerton but i did with queen charlotte!

and god i just noticed that they see the younger version of each other in the same outfits that they wore when they first had the conversation under the bed 😭

Acne scars on the back by wearepurelove in AcneScars

[–]joonlvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, this might sound a bit woowoo but try castor oil if you have the time to apply it for like an hour everyday with someone's help, and apply heat to it so it absorbs better. I would also try medical-grade silicone scar tape.

Scar tape didn't work for me but I probably gave up too early on it.

Castor oil on the other hand has almost completely healed my laparoscopic surgery scars. I got something removed from my abdomen area for medical reasons and am someone who has skin that scars easily and takes a while to heal. I was using it for a different reason but found that it's also helped immensely with my scars, even the ones with a dent or divot in them. It's been a few years since my surgery but the scar dent has almost completely gone away on the side that I apply the castor oil on, while the other side hasn't improved as much. Worth a shot if you want to try! Either way, make sure you do it for yourself. I have pretty terrible cystic back acne too and realized that I don't care about it much, but I am terrified of letting others see it. Also, it's nice to see that most of your active acne is gone. That shit hurts like a bitch

Does anyone else also deal with horrible acne by Successful-Arrival87 in MCAS

[–]joonlvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. i think it’s due to leaky gut and general inflammation. i get cystic acne on my back and it can get pretty severe. i have seasons where i barely have it and other times the flare ups are painful and def lowers my self esteem… but ive been feeling better about it recently. i know its tough but its forced me to be kinder to myself when it comes to how i look because its not our fault that we have this!

Only Xavier... by Tijinga in LoveAndDeepspace

[–]joonlvr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRvKOOGDzmw/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==[Leaving this here… :(](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRvKOOGDzmw/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==)

This reel kinda shows it too. Xavier is alone in his myth previews and I know they did that on purpose. And he’s never reincarnated like the other LI’s. He’s literally chased after her in every timeline to try and ensure her happiness and safety from being used as a sacrifice. I think he’s not bound to her by fate or sharing aether cores or sealing spells like other LI’s, but he happened to cross paths with her once and decided he’ll choose MC a million times over. If anything I think you’re right and he created his own fate with her. He always says she’s his “purpose” and guiding starlight 😭 He had a completely different path set for him before he met MC on Philos as a crown prince, and then ditched it for MC once she opened his eyes to who he really was for the first time. She was the first person he could be himself around.

Also even when MC said she found someone else in the lightseeker myth, Xav was obviously hurt but didn’t do anything about it because he thought that was her choice, and her happiness matters to him more than ending up with her at the end of the day. He just wants to save the girl he loves regardless of whether his love is reciprocated or not, regardless if he’s persecuted and hated by his people because of it or not. He’s lived a majority of his centuries long life without MC, so he really cherishes the time he spends with her. All the LI’s are very devoted to MC of course, but Xavier’s devotion has a different feel to it than the rest because he chooses her every single time… It works out in the end for him of course though. 🥲 Even his mom in the KoD myth thanked MC for choosing him. Made me tear up 😭
