i dont think we give karl urban enough credit for his acting in this extended edition scene of eomer discovering eowyn in pelennor fields because. my goodness
For anyone who's been tracking this journey of mine, my record was 40 days clean. I have officially broken that.
Tonight is hell.
I haven't had cravings this bad in over a month. And here I am. Telling myself I'm not gonna fuck this up because I didn't get this far to lose it on 41 days.
That's what I said last time I got this far too.
I'm not losing this just because I'm tired. I'm not losing this just because I'm lonely.
I'm not losing this. I'm almost always the alter who forces us to reset the clock and tonight I'm not going to be.
seriously if you step into any offline queer space for like two seconds you'll be staggered by the actual diversity of nonbinary people. I knew someone in college who was amab and balding and had a moustache and dressed like a dad and used she/her pronouns exclusively. I knew multiple people who you'd assume at first sight were cishet who used he/she/they. there are people you can't sort into amab and afab because it's literally impossible to tell because they've been playing 4D gender chess for 30 years.
like. none of it matters. you can make as many boxes and labels as you want, it's not gonna stop people from just being people.
This is the first time in probably over a year that I crossed three weeks. And, if I can be painfully honest and openly explicit about what this addiction is, at risk of causing a relapse...
TW for sensual content
This was never smoking or alcohol or drugs. It was porn.
It is something I've struggled with since high school, and I hear a lot that there's nothing wrong with it, but here's the deal
It's addictive, it can actually affect your life in negative ways.
If it doesn't for you, great! I won't stop you from watching it
But it fucked me up
I had, mostly, chalked up this addiction and my hypersexuality to ADHD. I couldn't remember any trauma that would cause it, so I didn't think it could be a trauma thing
I have since found out that one of our littles holds a trauma that none of us knew about.
We have not yet reached talking about that in therapy, but with how it's been going, it probably isn't far down the line.
It will probably cause a relapse.
But here's something interesting
We recently moved out and got to a safe place. The day we moved out, we lost all sex drive. All of it. Which is a bit jarring when most of your alters are hypersexual.
Simon was the most thrown and has begun questioning his sexuality
Others take it as a welcome relief
I'm not sure how to feel. I've always been the most hypersexual of all of us, and to have it just...gone? That's weird.
I can't even chalk it up to "I'm in a weird place and don't feel safe" because...I don't feel that way?
I'm more comfortable in my sexuality than I ever have been
But I don't have any drive anymore.
Maybe that's good. Maybe that's bad. Maybe it'll come back.
I'm just gonna take it as it is.
Because right now, I'm recognizing that something in that house traumatized me in a way that I didn't know about, and it wasn't just what I remember now.
I'll take my three weeks free from addiction, even if it means I've lost any drive I had. Who needs it anyway. I'm just happy to be here
I'm going to be posting something for every single prompt. That means that throughout the entire month of October I won't be posting any new comics since I'll be too busy with the prompts.
Remember, if you're taking part to use the tag #auctober or #auctober2022.
