Also if you're still doing the headcanon asks, Lupgang and 10 (sleep)?
the-golden-ghostLupin sleeps for 1 hour a night for like 3 weeks and then crashes and sleeps for 48 hours straight. He has done this for years and he’s not stopping anytime soon
Jigen sleeps for like 15 hours a day total but it’s all catnaps. He doesn’t sleep through the night really. Gets up to smoke and walk around and then settles back down for another 2-3 hours.
Goemon pretends he’s a Hardened Samurai Who Can Forgo Sleep And Remain Poised And Fine-Tuned but in reality he misses like 1 (one) half hour of his necessary 8 hours and he turns into the worlds most whiny brat about it. You WILL hear about it all day. He is Sleep Deprived. How Do You Expect Him To Function Under These Conditions. Appalling.
Fujiko will get 10 hours of sleep every night bar nothing and if you try to prevent her from it she will simply ditch you in the middle of a heist. She needs her beauty rest this is IMPERATIVE.
“He knew about concerned citizens. Wherever they were, they all spoke the same private language, where ‘traditional values' meant ‘hang someone.’” - Terry Pratchett, The Truth
Every time I reread a Pratchett book it becomes all the more infuriating/hilarious/pitiful that transphobes tried to claim him as one of theirs, as if he didn’t have them pegged before they even knew who they were themselves. This is from 2000.
Edit: Obviously this applies to pretty much every sort of bigotry, but transphobia seems to be led by Brits at the moment, and so Pratchett’s fantastic ability to depict the specifically British form of bigotry that has dominated transphobic writing and activism is very useful. It’s the “just asking questions”, the entitlement, the faux humility, the “common sense” that tries to ventriloquise their hatred into the mouths of a vague idea of ordinary people, the Hot Fuzz arcane village council style meetings self deluding themselves into thinking they’re democratic.
Telling me that being upset by my intrusive thoughts is proof I'm a good person did jackshit to help me, ngl. In fact, all it did was make me feel like I HAD to go down a spiral of horror and self-hatred any time I had those thoughts in order to prove those thoughts didn't make me a monster. I still feel like that.
But the most helpful advice I got about them was genuinely just to treat them gently. Laugh. Roll my eyes. Go "not my brain acting up again 🙄" or "Bro, I do no want to do that, shut up 😩".
Like...Telling people their suffering is proof they're good people isn't really helpful, in the long run. Or at all, for plenty of us. We need to be working WITH our brains, instead of constantly fighting against them. I have this tiny section in my journal, where when I was feeling okay, I wrote myself a note on intrusive thoughts and hallucinations and there's a line I keep in mind:
"Having thoughts-it's like an ocean; shit washes up sometimes. And then, if you let it, it gets washed away."
You have to let it wash away. You can't pick up every piece of crap that washes up and study it, keep it in your little backroom, trying to determine why it's here and what its purpose is. Babe, you're not a marine biologist. Sometimes bullshit is just bullshit and you've gotta train yourself to recognize that. You don't have to be disgusted every time you run across it. You can just keep moving.
