Story of my life people. You know what’s real ? The struggle.
Happy Pride Month ♥
People who are in self quarantine really have no idea how weird it is to be a base level essential worker through this whole thing. I don’t mean a doctor or a nurse or someone else working round the clock to put a stop to it or find a cure. I mean a truck driver or a gas station attendant or a retail clerk. Because everything is basically normal, only a little bit off, and then again not as off as it should be.
Every day I get up. I go to work. I sell people things. There are fewer people coming through and they’re buying more because they’re stocking up or they haven’t been shopping in a month, but there are still lines, like always. There’s plexiglass between the cashiers and the customers, and no dividers, and we have to continually yell at people not to put their items on the belt until we’ve finished the previous transaction, and they ignore us or argue with us, same as always. The more rules we have, the more rules there are for people to ignore. And the longer it goes on, the more normal it gets. Pretty much no one thanks us for coming in to work anymore. People are starting to act like we should never, ever run out of an item. It’s just blanket assumed that we will have hand sanitizer and soap and toilet paper and people are shocked when we say we’re out. But there are still ads on the TV in the break room telling us all to stay home and the more the customers ignore social distancing, the more management puts pressure on us to set a good example, until we’re expected to follow standards that are physically impossible.
The longer this goes on, the less ‘essential’ I feel.
And then I come home and get online as always and there are all of these people asking what you’re doing while you’re stuck in quarantine and coming up with fun things to do when you’re in quarantine and talking about what you’re going to do when this whole thing is over and you can finally, finally leave your house. Everyone just seems to assume that you, the person reading their words, are in quarantine, because everyone’s in quarantine. It’s like this big, international, universal experience that you’re not a part of.
It feels like fifteen years from now everyone in the world will be looking at each other and asking “Remember what it was like to be cooped up in the house? Wasn’t it awful?” and I’ll just be sitting there going “…….no, I don’t. I didn’t do that.” And people will look at me and wonder how I could not know.
Just got some time off from being an Essential Worker™ and I managed to create a loaf of bread. This is my proudest achievement yet.
Don't buy into overpopulation theories. The Earth has enough for all, and we have the capabilities to provide for everyone.
Demand is not the issue, supply chains are.

If I may add;
The whole train arc. (Which I know appeared in the 03 version, but still.)
The Führer showing up in Dublith in a Hawaiian shirt and a straw hat.
Sig and Major Armstrong flexing st each other. (Again, in the 03 version, but it's just so good.)
Mei's first meeting with the Youswell miners, lending more impact to her return to Youswell.
Lust's extended dialogue with Dr. Marco in his clinic.
Dr. Knox telling Mei and Lan Fan about the Ishval war, concluding with the line "Don't fight. I'm tired of seeing dead children."
some of my fav manga scenes that were left out of the animes in no particular order:
tiny baby ed in oversized plaid pajamas and tiny baby al in his too-big slippers holding on to ed’s sleeve
al telling the devil’s nest gang that they’re lame while they’re holding him hostage
ed getting jumped by another dog and al utilizing his big scary appearance to save him (let my brother go, ‘kay? *grrs* KAY? *lightning strikes in the background and the dog runs away in fear*)
that one surreal panel where winry and ed prance down the beach while she chases him with a chainsaw
Roy and Riza meeting the elrics because there was a typo with their ages in the file
Riza making a time travel joke about said typo
envy walking in on ed in the shower and al’s like brother cover ur butt -_-
ed and al’s primary school teacher throwing chalk at them for not paying attention to the lesson
Roy attempting to blackmail ed because he knows about the human transmutation and ed immediately shoots back that he knows about Roy’s pyramid scheme ‘cause he didn’t even act worried when ed tried to spear bradley
Then Roy pointing at ed and being like Riza can u believe this kid and rizas just like u could at least PRETEND you care sir :////
Ling trying to court winry and ed’s just like wiNrY!!!!
Selim calling ed a small bean
that time Hohenheim casually fathered the hell out of ed while also sitting on the toilet
mei fantasizing about her and al skiing and snowboarding
ed nearly having a conniption when he found out Ling was younger bUT TALLER than him so he told Ling he had a freakishly adult face
the one (1) time Roy called Riza by her first name
Al and Hohenheim running into each other and Al’s like DAD?! and Hohenheim’s like MY VINTAGE ARMOR?!
Alan Dracula is definitely the star of season 2
Who are you? said Om. The small god stirred. There was a city once, said the small god. Not just a city. An empire of cities. I, I, I remember there were canals, and gardens. There was a lake. They had floating gardens on the lake, I recall. I, I. And there were temples. Such temples as you may dream of. Great pyramid temples that reached to the sky. Thousands were sacrificed. To the greater glory. Om felt sick. This wasn’t just a small god. This was a small god who hadn’t always been small… Who were you? And there were temples. I, I, me. Such temples as you may dream of. Great pyramid temples that reached to the sky. The glory of. Thousands were sacrificed. Me. To the greater glory. And there were temples. Me, me, me. Greater glory. Such glory temples as you may dream of. Great pyramid dream temples that reached to the sky. Me, me. Sacrificed. Dream. Thousands were sacrificed. To me the greater sky glory. You were their God? Om managed. Thousands were sacrificed. To the greater glory. Can you hear me? Thousands sacrificed greater glory. Me, me, me. What was your name? shouted Om. Name? A hot wind blew over the desert, shifting a few grains of sand. The echo of a lost god blew away, tumbling over and over, until it vanished among the rocks. Who were you? There was no answer.
