me writing dialogue: “what is man but a vessel through which a higher entity may see? what is his purpose? must he find a purpose? we are but stardust; the universe comprehending itself.”
me writing action: they ran real fast from the bad men aand legs hurty
me writing action: Her legs pounded against the earth, the familiar jolt grounding her like nothing else could. Magic, gods, royalty—she didn’t know anything about that. But running? That’s something she’d been doing since day one.

The generic Adrenaclick will cost $109.99 for two doses, compared with $649.99 for the same amount of drug in an EpiPen. That’s good news, both for financial and safety reasons: STAT reported last year that some parents and institutions had begun filling up syringes with epinephrine as a cost-cutting measure, a DIY solution that could pose great risk to the children who may have eventually needed injections. A more affordable alternative will help ensure safer epinephrine injections.
That’s assuming, though, that the people who need these devices know exactly what to ask for when they’re sitting in their doctors’ offices. Otherwise, they’ll still be stuck with the overpriced product. Here’s why: The mechanism by which Adrenaclick injects the drug is slightly different from EpiPen’s mechanism, so the Food and Drug Administration has ruled that the two are not therapeutically equivalent. That distinction is important because it means a prescription for an EpiPen cannot be filled with Adrenaclick. If you want the cheaper option, you have to have an Adrenaclick prescription.
You must ask your doctor for an Adrenaclick prescription!
I also found a coupon from Impax on 0.15mg and 0.3mg epinephrine injection, USP auto-injectors, which appear to be the generic version of Adrenaclick; these coupons cover up to $100 per pack for 3 packs of these injectors (6 total injectors).
Let me make something clear: this is not calling out anyone in particular, because you know who you are. You know exactly who you are, and it’s more than one. It’s many.
This is about creators and usage of their creations in fan contributions when given permission, and their reactions when something is represented incorrectly.
When someone works their hardest to ensure your character is written and is represented correctly, that’s more than enough. When they try their hardest to ensure it’s satisfactory as much as a human possibly can, that’s more than enough. When we flip through hours and hours of past history related to said character and study for days, that’s more than enough. When they even consider your character for anything, that’s more than enough.
When you give them shit for not writing or representing it correctly after they’ve poured their heart into trying to get it right: that’s not, under any circumstances, mature or okay for you to do. When you’re passive-agressive about their representation and writing after they’ve studied for days and asked you questions upon questions before it’s finalized: that’s not, under any circumstances, mature or okay for you to do.
It’s not growth. It’s not feedback. It’s being disgusting; don’t you dare try to disguise it.
Appreciate the people who care about trying, because continuing to force perfectionism on others who have tried hard enough to get it perfect for you or another person will leave you alone with your own thoughts and cold, pointless anger in the end.
We’re in this fandom together. Don’t put others down or verbally abuse them because someone who tried hard “didn’t do enough,” to do your or another character justice. They tried, perhaps they got some attributes here and there wrong, but they tried and that’s what matters.
You, however, have not tried enough to be a decent enough human being if you’re being abusive and need to start taking your attitude seriously and considering the impact of your words and actions on others when representing and writing history on the most important character of all:
do you ever get into one of those moods where your heart aches and longs for something so deeply but you dont know what and your heart is like a stubborn toddler screaming i want it !!!! please give it to me !!!! And you’re desperately like i don’t know what kind of emotionally fulfilling experience to give you at 3 PM on a Wednesday !!!!!!!!!
It helps everyone to be fair. There’s lessons about life, love, and pain and how to handle it throughout the series.
I’m writing this to talk about the difference its been making with my daughter and I.
My beautiful, charming, and very kind 9 year old daughter has autism and ADHD. From a young age I was aware of it and she’s had the advantage of attending a special preschool for children with disabilities. While she doesn’t have the melt downs she used to thanks to speech and occupational therapy she still has very strong emotions we’ve been trying to teach her to gain control of.
One of the best tools I’ve had of trying to address her behaviors has been through the Steven Universe song <i>here comes a thought</i>. She’s learning to identify her feelings, watch them pass, honor them, and let them go without holding onto them and thinking it’s the end of the world because let me tell you, when this child thinks she’s in trouble, she feels like she’s messed up her entire life, often times over things as simple as me asking to shut drawer she left open or pick up her things. It often depends on the day she’s having, my own emotions and how I convey them, and the over all emotional atmosphere of the house.
Today we talked about one part of the song in particular that my friend Addy told me about that is literally perfectly timed to take coming breaths in and out.
inhale but it’s not, but it’s not, but it’s not, but it’s not, but it’s not.
I saw the lights go off in her eyes in understanding and we practiced it together to the song to help her.
I really don’t know if this is something that’s been shared or addressed before as I’m not a participant in the Steven Universe Fandom, but being able to see my amazing child under stand a healthy way to address the emotions that so often consume her brought me to tears.
Maybe it’ll help someone else out there with their child.

You know what I don’t get? When fanfic authors apologize for long chapters. It’s like? You gave me bonus content, for free, and you’re sorry about it? Bruh. I have already named my firstborn after you. Dude.
You know what else I don’t get? When they apologize for short updates. It’s like: look at these new words I gave you! Sorry I didn’t give you even more free words. Bro, that’s at least two words that I did not have yesterday. For free. Dude. Thank you.
And another thing: when people drop out of nowhere with a surprise update and then apologize for it taking a while. Like, dude, I wasn’t expecting anything, and you gave me words. I thought this fic was abandoned, but wait: there’s more. You just popped in and reminded me that this is a Good Fic that I should probably reread. You made my goshdarn day.
Basically fanfic writers are under no obligation to publish anything so when they do update it’s always a net positive because the story is longer now, and I have something to read, so thank you so much to everyone who writes fic at whatever pace or quantity they want.
