cw stressed reader, crying and mental breakdowns, little bit of angst & comfort

✉️ I'm so sorry to hear that nonie :( some days are hard, but you are so loved and things will get better <3 I'm always here if you need to chat with someone

You’d been having a hard week.

It hadn’t even been anything in particular, just little events and an icky feeling that left you feeling drained and in much need of some TLC. But no, instead, you had to finish assignments for your classes, and you had to go to work, and you had to find a good gift for your friend’s birthday, which was in two days. The list seemed never-ending. And it was overwhelming. 

You had been so go, go, go, that in this first moment you’ve gotten to yourself, you instantly break down. 

At least you were in the safety of your room and not somewhere public. You sniffle, sobs wrecking through you as you curl up on your bed. Honestly, it felt good to cry, to let everything out in a way. You just wish that you didn’t have to pull everything together to get back to work after this mental breakdown. And God forbid if anyone saw you right now–

Your phone rings.

You let out another sob, frustrated at the fact that you’re just so busy as you flip the electronic over to see who it is. The word ‘Wookie <3’ stares back up at you as you continue crying. Fuck, you were supposed to see your boyfriend today. Your thumb shakes a little as you answer the call, knowing that he’s going to be able to tell that you’re crying.

“Hello?”

The other side of the line is quiet for a moment. “YN? Baby? Are you okay? You sound like you’re upset.” His concern makes your chest ache with love, and you sniffle softly. 

“I’m just… having a hard day, that’s all. But we can still go on our date, I’ll be fine–”

“I’m already here,” Gunwook interrupts, and in turn, you hear a small, distant knock on your apartment door. You sit up, and a rush of dizziness washes over you from how hard you’d been crying and also probably from dehydration. “Will you let me in?”

“Of course,” you whisper before hanging up the call, getting off your bed to go answer the door. When it swings open and you see him–the epitome of your comfort and happiness, you feel yourself crumble again. It’s like it’s second-nature to fall into his open arms, his soft shushes meeting your ears as one of his large hands rubs up and down your back soothingly. 

“It’s okay… Take a deep breath with me, come on, baby.” He gently guides you back inside your apartment while still keeping his arms around you, and when you’re sitting back on your bed, Gunwook places one of your hands on his chest so you can feel his heartbeat. So you can line up your erratic breathing with his, slowing the air rushing in and out of your lungs and ultimately calming you down. “Now, tell me what’s wrong, okay?”

You nod weakly. “It’s just… I feel like I’ve been overworking myself. I have so many things to do and no time to do it, but it all needs to get done and– I have no time–” You cut yourself off as Gunwook takes a deep breath, subconsciously following his movements. “I’m really stressed,” you finish lamely.

He unwraps his arms from around your trembling frame, opting to hold onto your arms and to rub them softly. “You have all of the time you need. And you’re not going to get anything done if you’re so worried, baby. You need to rest.” He’s right. You know he is, but you didn’t want to rest. Resting was for when everything was done. It’s almost like he can read your thoughts. “You can rest for one night. We’ll do it together, okay? I’ll always be right here for you.”

If someone told me last November that a year from then I’d be procrastinating doing anything BUT continuing my playthrough of the newly released dragon age game I’d call them crazy. I’m extremely tolerable to bullshit. The amount of objectively bad media I am able to enjoy is really high. I have been willing to forgive BioWare for a lot of bad game dev decisions. But not for the bad writing. So here we are.

I have not opened the game in a week now. Something broke in me when after 50 hours I finally reached act 2. So many people said it’s supposed to get better starting from that point. But I’m sorry, what exactly got better? Why is the story suddenly just ‘go do your companion quests!’? Where’s the freaking plot???

I can’t get rid of the feeling as if the game has been chopped into pieces at the last minute, rearranged by throwing out like 3/4 of the writing bits and then hastily sewn together.

i had this old man teacher in middle school who basically was Charles Xavier. i mean, he looked the part, he sounded the part, he acted the part- really the only difference was the lack of telepathy and he could walk. and the name i guess.

well i ran into him the other day and his recently wedded husband. they met when he was in the military forever ago and reconvened and inevitably tied the knot.

his husband’s name?

Erik.

i am being dead serious. a part of me evaporated.

What in the reddit story…….. youre yanking my chain SURELY…. But if youre not has his husband ever expressed revolutionary ideation or—

to the next stage of our adventure! digimon survive week 2024 day 7: post-game / future personal thoughts under the cut - less about the artwork and more about shuuji and lopmon themselves. a long rambling containing major spoilers and heavy topics. will cause whiplash. proceed with caution.

other than the fact this may be boring and long-winded, cw and tw: there will be mentions of self-harm and suicide. if these topics make you uncomfortable, please step back. if you're sure, then alright. i'm aware this is a weird place to ramble about shuuji and lopmon considering the notorious highlight of their story would match the themes of day 5 (villains) and day 6 (dark & loss) better. unfortunately (ironically?) i never planned to feature them for those days, so... pretty sure i'm not the only one feeling this, but when i discovered that a good part of the fandom seems to loathe shuuji with utmost passion, even after they claimed to have completed the game, i was confused. the way his death happened and (understanding) the cause made me uncomfortable for a while, but never drove me to the point of hate... once i recovered from the initial shock, what i felt towards him was more pity, then respect (on truthful route). i feel shuuji should have been one of the most appreciated characters in survive. yet it was the opposite that happened. (between you and me though, knowing there was this discourse with the fact digimon survive is a visual novel, i'm not that surprised it turned out this way...) from my point of view, lopmon evolving into wendimon then killing shuuji symbolizes suicide, the act of taking one's own life. it was the climax of shuuji's mental breakdown, leading him to basically self-destruct, causing damage to everyone around him and ultimately himself. lopmon evolved, just like he hoped. but failed to do it like other kemonogami partners (maintaining control of themselves and fending off enemies). the next and final outcome was death, through his own partner actually eating him alive too. it reminds me how when someone thought they have prepared well for something important yet it failed spectacularly, the devastation and frustration would eat them in the same way from inside. and they probably would for one second think, "i'm better off dead". the more i pondered about it, the more it hit home, so of course, the last thing i could do is hate him, when his struggles sound similar to my own - having to rely on consistent achievements to prove your value, to feel you are worth living and not a waste of resources. the part where shuuji went all abusive on lopmon felt like the equivalent of pushing yourself to the extreme to reach your goal, to the point of neglecting your own needs. it's like a student so absorbed in their study, sacrificing food and sleep, until their body eventually snaps and shuts down for good (...this in fact happened to one of the students at my previous workplace. she was in her last year of high school. life was just about to truly start for her when her classmate informed us of her sudden death). even in truthful route where shuuji and lopmon survive that point, things aren't immediately nice and easy for him. you can see that he still has self-doubts, and what i think is impostor's syndrome. he could be making a great contribution to the team and still put himself down for having done "nothing". i have found it interesting that artists and writers tend to be especially fond of shuuji. so perhaps it's not just the matter of one's upbringing - whether you were raised in a harsh, competitive environment and/or with family with (unreasonably) high standards so you can relate more easily to him - but also whether one can see just what every struggle shuuji and lopmon went through symbolizes shuuji's mental state. out of all survive characters, i think shuuji and lopmon pulled off this thing called "surviving" the hardest, no joke. which is why i almost always gravitate to drawing them happy because that's what they deserve :') after all this, what i also would like to say is, it's okay if a character makes you uncomfortable. it's okay if you hate a character. but never, ever bring down the character to people who like them or even consider them their favorite or comfort character. if you must, do it in your own space and only with like-minded people.

ok so. i was cleaning out my pictures folder today. and i happened to come across a sketch from 2021 that may or may not be related to the same concept as this. but like a. darker, edgier version. if you catch my drift.

but the thing is i do NOT see myself finishing it, seeing as it's already been nearly 4 years since i sketched it out and i'm still fighting the burnout demons from hell and all that. but it IS very silly to me and frankly very good timing for me to have found this sketch right now

so basically what i'm wondering is would any of y'all be interested in like a dtiys / open collab type of thing with underfell papyrus as shadow the hedgehog

here's a hint of the sketch if it helps

i've admittedly already tweaked it a good bit & i'd probably clean it up a lil more just for clarity if i actually go through with this but for now i just wanna see if i can rope anyone else into being insane with me. its actually pretty fun messing with the design & proportions to try and fit the silhouette of a very cartoonish hedgehog and i'd love to see other ppl's takes on it

[lunarharp]

figured i'd do this again..bit early i guess..
