contemplating the beautiful reality that is dan "all my contacts are first name last name regardless of closeness", "will not use an exclamation mark under any normal non-dire circumstance" howell being obligated by law to end all his communications with his grandma with an x or else she'll DEMAND to know where her kisses are. veronica loves her grandson and she knows how big a lover he is too and she makes him show it. fuck the doomed nihilistic narrative!!!! i love her.

We need to erase the light in a character's eyes more often. It's enriching for them to look completely hopeless and lost

I am aware this is going to be the phanniest post ever. but phil going i make you laugh! i make you smile! and dan then genuinely telling phil and the camera that phil is the funniest person he knows day-to-day, that he's a silly goofy guy, (in the gentle dan voice too), was actually like witnessing a love declaration.

something about how my childhood was full of Giants that constantly and consistently chose a kind of cruelty (disapproving adults, the religious community I was born into, the looming shadow of my gender identity and sexuality, emotionally and sometimes physically abusive family, etc.) that left this vast untraversed expanse of loneliness and discontent inside of me that only escapism (reading books, listening to music, thinking about dragons that are your friend) can fill by giving me a Giant (characters, songs, dragons) that chose kindness

childhood emotion of wanting a dragon that is your friend so bad that it feels like there is a vacuum in your soul that only a dragon who is your friend can fill

there has been a concerning influx of far-right viewpoints in my sponsored ads on instagram. This is all post-inauguration, and something I have never seen before at this rate, having previously had an algorithm that pushed out climate groups and other liberal media. I know there’s a big concern for censorship on TikTok currently, but it’s happening across Instagram too. This make me sick to my stomach.

I'VE NEVER DONE A POLL BEFORE

dnp shooting out parasocial joke after deadpan parasocial joke about their audience's investment in their relationship while simultaneously being more openly and generously affectionate with each other than they ever have in front of said audience are two sides of the same coin btw. and im just. I love that. for them and for us. this is the freedom era.

Okay so, I see a TON of people in the notes relating to that, and I don't see anyone else having said it recently so lemme tell you:

This is stock human behavior. You can be perfectly fine, neurotypical, having an okay day, and still have this happen. Lots of things can make it worse but post about that on your own time. Here's a thing that tends to help:

Keep your tablet on the same desk you draw on at all times, have it plugged in the moment your laptop is there. If the cable is too short to place it anywhere sensible, get an extension chord. Always ALWAYS have it plugged. The fuck. In. When you move your laptop you have to hook it up to your charger anyway so habituate jamming in another cable. Hell, some setups these days let you have a USB hub attached to your charging cable so you can have a fixed location with a dedicated charging cable that automatically hooks up your tablet the second your laptop is charging there.

"This is stupid, I could just-" No you can't "just", NOBODY can always "just", hear me out. There is this concept which I have seen referred to by countless ungooglable names like friction or whatever that can be boiled down to human executive function is a light switch, not a dial. If you try changing modes, you don't transition smoothly, there is a barrier. It takes a bit of force to push down the light switch and if you tap it lightly it will stay in the state it was in. If you need another example read the word vomit below.

If you constantly find yourself not reading that book or not doing The Thing, chances are there are too many little things piling that this barrier is higher than the "jerking off/playing games instead" barrier that you constantly find yourself hopping over instead. If you don't read the book because you have to get up and take it out of the shelf, never, ever have it in the shelf to begin with. Fix that. Putting That Thing away neatly is to your motivation akin to burying it. Most of the time people would immediately agree that keeping a book they wanna read under the sink in the bathroom one floor below their bedroom they like to read in is a surefire way to never read. But. In reality, once you get out of bed to grab the book it literally does not matter if it is in the shelf across the room or if they have to walk a minute or two into the bathroom downstairs and reach under the sink. Cause the mental energy expenditure is exactly the same and once you got the motivation to get up and walk there is literally no difference between 10 steps or 100.

anyone else been struggling lately
