Remember that, though the potato crop was devastated by blight, there was always enough food in Ireland to feed the people. The people simply could not afford to buy the food at the prices that Britain insisted they pay. The British were more concerned that the Irish people would get something without paying than they were about Irish people starving to death.

Don’t forget that the British also blockaded food aid from the Ottomans to Dublin, increased evictions, and mandated export of all staples except potatoes…. While also mandating that only the Irish Lumper variety be grown. A particularly bland and flaky type of potato, and highly susceptible to disease, it’s only saving graces being size and starch content

I mean I think people should curate their own fandom experience and whatnot and it’s perfectly fair to just avoid things one is uncomfortable with…

That being said. From personal experience? Immunizing myself to all my discomforts by browsing through pixiv and kink memes with raised eyebrows while searching for things I am interested in back when tagging was non-existent has really made my fandom experience much more pleasant nowadays.

I have preferences, for sure. But I have no fear. I have no cringe. The filthiest, grossest fanwork holds no powers over me. I am a god.

Like honestly dl;dr and block on sight is respectable and all but I genuinely think everyone could just benefit from purposefully exposing yourself to your nOTP and non-triggering squicks sometimes? (And obviously don’t go bother the creators for it.) If only so that it makes it easier/safer to search for content you like without living in fear of accidentally glimpsing something you hate and having that ruin your day.

Training oneself to be comfortable with mild discomfort is a highly under-rated skill in this day and age

I think its interesting that “desensitized” is a dirty word now. Like…when I did my therapy, being desensitized was the GOAL. It was the fucking dream.

But also, desensitization essentially gives you the agency to say, “okay so that felt bad, now I can either put it away, really explore and understand what that discomfort is trying to tell me, or discard it.” Idk…some of yall are so fucking distressed all the time and you call it “being normal” or “being a decent human being” but…it isn’t normal to be distressed all the time. It isn’t decent to be distressed all the time. And like…I have disords and chemical shit going on in my brain but if you don’t have all that….I think you need to look at your distress and ask why it is actually enduring and who benefits from you being distressed (lessons from a pre-bush era american).

‘PER SE’ NOT ‘PER SAY’

THANK YOU.

ever think about how deeply painful it is that cecil, the guy who thrives off of being helpful to the point it made him despise his brother in law for replacing him and his helpful duties, is stuck as a reoccurring spectator of tragedy— completely powerless against stopping it— and forced to just.. narrate these awful situations from his recording booth- watching it go down in all of its horrific and gruesome detail?

how he reiterates multiple times how completely powerless he feels? how he literally bursts into tears over it? how he spends every waking immortal moment of his unending life just watching these things happen- with zero way to put an end to it?

because I think about this. A lot.

I think a lot about how tragic of a character he is. how he literally fantasizes about death and talks about it on the radio, partly because he has nobody else to talk to about it- and partly because he feels he has to. he regards radio as, seemingly, the only real suitable profession (besides science) because it’s the only thing he’s ever known since.. however long ago his childhood was.

he doesn’t even remember his own birthday. this man loves birthdays and doesn’t remember his own. he talks about death so much but is simultaneously afraid of his newfound mortality- so much so that he scrambles to find a way to make himself live forever again.

he’s been stuck in this tragic loop of unceasing despair and torture and he’s grown comfortable with it. because it’s all he knows.

I’m inconsolable.
