"Ariel Flounder Eric"

yo ho ho, you sent two in a row!

"Ariel Flounder Eric"

Ariel: Where do you think you belong, and why?

I belong onstage in front of an audience, because that’s where all my stories make sense and have a purpose.

Flounder: Something that surprised you and frightened you.

That pushing me to suicidal ideation could be justified in someone else’s mind. 

Eric: Have you ever helped a stranger? What happened.

All the time! Normally they just say “thank you” lol

"Do u feel good adding that comment"

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Do you feel good about being passive aggressive?

"(Same anon) I also find myself slipping back into my disordered habits, which makes me want to pick up the phone and call him to talk about it, but I have to resist the urge. I don't have anyone else I can personally confide in about these things, too. I'm sorry I'm rambling to you, I just don't have anyone else."

Don’t feel bad! You never have to apologize for coming to me for advice. Falling back into your old, unhealthy habits makes things more dangerous. Since this is happening, I would recommend calling him. If he cares about you and knows your situation, he should be able to talk to you about your eating disorder. Your health is more important than whether something is “awkward” or not. You are important. You have to let yourself and your health come first.

"So my boyfriend of almost a year (we were friends and were interested in each other a couple years before this though) broke up with me over a year ago and I still have feelings for him. He's tweeting about how he's in love with a girl and my heart dropped to the floor. I've been focusing on myself and doing things I truly love, but I can't seem to escape these feelings. It's also very difficult because he was the only person I could talk to about my eating disorder and now I can't. I miss him!"

I’m sorry you’re going through this! :( I’m glad you’ve been out using your heart in different ways. I think him being the only person you could talk to about your ed is definitely a big part of it. If you feel like you can’t keep your feelings inside anymore, you can just tell him so you can get it out and start to move on, even if it is awkward. Doing this kind of just gives you a clean slate in a way. You can try to maintain a friendship with him if it isn’t too painful and complicated, but to be honest, is almost always is more trouble than it’s worth. You can also start thinking of someone else; one of your friends that you trust or someone else you feel close to to form a closer friendship with and to tell about your eating disorder. Having somebody else to talk with will be good, as well as having another person you feel that safe with besides him. 

I hope this helps. <3

"Next to Normal, Pippin, The Addams Family, Aida, Last Five Years"

Next to Normal: Biggest mistake?

I honestly don’t know; I don’t have one huge regret ready in my mind that I constantly think about.

Pippin: Favorite show?

Oh gosh, so many for so different reasons. I’ll say N2N though. 

The Addams Family: What relative are you closet to?

My immediate family is extremely close since it’s just my wombmates and our parents. I guess my dad.

Aida: Single or taken? Or somewhere inbetween? (Sorry Amneris)

Single af

Last Five Years: Weirdest deja vu moment?

Tasting something that reminded me of my childhood but I didn’t remember when, what it was, what it was called, or why. 

"wtf who is that psycho that is so rude and mean about white people? I just checked out their blog and the things that this person says ("white people have awful features") is really disgusting. Fuck that person, rock that voluminous lion's mane, girl."

That is the infamous Redd, a rabid tumblr “social justice warrior.” Huge hypocrite, tells people to kill themselves multiple times daily, plays the Oppression Olympics, etc. Pretty deluded and most definitely disgusting. Thank you Sarah, you know I will! ;) 

"Wait. How DO you do your eyeliner with a spoon?"

This video is friggin hilarious, but it works.

"Well I see the true you and you're beautiful in so many ways"

Thank you so much for your kindness! It really means a lot :)

"So the first one on your Pokemon team would be a Ninetales, because I believe you are wise beyond your age, the second would be a Suicune, because it's said to purify water, just as you try to make the world better, Beautifly, because I believe you are beautiful, but strong, you'd have a Mismagius because it's said to have "a happiness giving power, Leavanny is next, because you seem like the type to take care of people, and last, a Meganium, because you've flourished, as this Pokemon has."

:’) You are the sweetest EVER! I love all of these! Thank you so much!!

"Mr.mime"

I hope you have a really good reason because Mr. Mimes are creepy af

They laughed at my splash, I splashed in their blood

"Is gymnastics a hard sport to follow or get into the fan base? You always reblog these things and it seems so interesting, I wish I could understand them! Are the events televised often?"

Gymnastics is kind of hard to follow in that there are only a couple major meets that get televised on American TV, and then only American gymnastics is shown with a handful of routines from America’s biggest rival, which is normally Russia, and the broadcasters are biased. Gymnastics is an international sport, and the vast majority of it must be followed on the internet. The fanbase can be a little hard to get into because it’s really easy to fall into the category of a “four-year-fan,” somebody who only watches gymnastics every four years for the Olympics, but talks as if they know everything, and the gymternet (the gymnastics fanbase) gets very irritated with those people. Normally, the only televised events are the American Cup, which is in March, Classics, which are in July, Nationals in August, and Worlds in October. If it’s an Olympic year, Olympic trials as well as the Olympics are televised. Of course, there are other just as important events, but because Americans aren’t there, they aren’t televised, so you have to watch it on the internet. Of course, you can always watch older meets on youtube, including past Olympics! The sport’s really quite complicated because of the scoring system and the requirements, but once you start to learn and know what you’re watching, it’s really exciting. :)

"What about the clinic where that doctor gave birth to live babies and proceeded to snip their spinal cords? What about how they were 7 months old, yet brutally murdered by this abortion doctor? But I guess it was okay since it was the woman's choice? There are terrible people on both side of the "choice" spectrum."

Where…where did you come from? I never denied that there are extremists on either side. I’m going to take a wild guess and say that you’re probably referring to Kermit Gosnell. Let me tell you something: NOBODY likes Gosnell, and what he did was illegal. It’s not like pro-choice women wait until the 23 week cutoff, freak out, and then run to Gosnell’s clinic to murder their children that could have survived outside the womb. 98.5% of abortions are before 20 weeks. The latest cutoff is 23 weeks. Before this time, the fetus cannot survive outside the womb, and even at this time, the odds of a fetus at 5 months of gestation surviving outside the womb is very low. Sometimes late term abortion is needed if the mother’s life is in jeopardy, if the baby is a stillborn, etc. Late-term abortions are only done when WANTED pregnancies have gone horribly awry, and a late term abortion is a horrible choice for a mother to have to make. Nobody WANTS to have a late term abortion. 

You can stop painting pro-choicers as heartless baby killers who wait until the last second to skip on over to Kermit Gosnell, because that simply isn’t the case.  

"I remember hugging like that all the time. ;n;"

I think I’m doing alright and everything’s all cool, but then I remember that stuff and think of how long it’s been and I just
