started painting again 🫠 sometimes you have to force your own hand
#I’m going to do the bedroom in almost the same color as the office/dayroom (pictured above)#different paint brand but almost identical shades#bedroom color might lean a little more blue-grey than blue-grey-green but tbd#I find it so soothing#and I figure it’s safer to go with something I already love than dive back into endless sample swatching 🤷♀️#my carpal tunnel is so bad that I think I might have to go wall by wall#and take a couple days off between each wall#but I’m determined to get rid of this didn’t-work-out green

When irl pisses me off, I rewatch the Honda Odyssey scene to relax
#and it works#rewatching a movie because murder is wrong#i find it too easy to live vicariously through those gays in fact#logan especially#i love logan baring his teeth like a pug or a bulldog 99% of his fight scenes#i love how he enjoys swiping at wade. they're both little shits#i love how wade fights back. that backseat camera zoom holds a special place in my heart#the Homoeroticism of it all#it soothes me#deadpool and wolverine honda#deadpool and wolverine honda odyssey#deadpool 3#deadpool and wolverine#deadpool#wade wilson#wolverine#poolverine#logan howlett#deadclaws#deadpool 2024#buy a honda odyssey now and resolve your marital spats today!#“I haven't had this much fun in so long!” ahh grin

max & daniel + eye contact
#aka maxiel ignoring everyone and living in their own little world#second one is giving renaissance#it's not much but it's honest work#it really isn't much and I have no reason for this; I just miss them#I feel like I've said this a million times already but it's true#and it started out as something completely different but I like this version#the amount of photos I saw from 2024 is painful#it wasn't the whole year and he was supposed to be wearing different colors in half of them but it is what it is#the more I look at it the more I hate it; it looks so silly#I was going to do it with less photos but I kept finding new ones and lost track of time editing them#because there was something strangely soothing about contouring daniel's nose :)#aaaahhhh whatever I spent hours on this#daniel ricciardo#max verstappen#maxiel#daniel#max#my work

sometimes I think of all the on-the-surface warm, well-meaning but deeply ineffectual advice and attention john gives harrow through harrow the ninth (make some soup and get some sleep! get a hobby! don't be so hard on yourself! self care harrow! as long as I need take no actual responsibility in this relationship whatsoever I would have loved to be your dad!) set up against the stark truth that with his other hand he has been staging her attempted horrific murder again and again and again like a living nightmare on the logic that it will 'put her down or fix her'. and then I find that I wish there is a hell. a special hell where twitch streamers turned necromantic death emperors go
#the locked tomb#harrowhark nonagesimus#john gaius#harrow the ninth#this is why I don't buy john as misunderstood and initially well-meaning AT ALL#this is a pattern you see with him again and again and again -- right down to his interpersonal relationships#(and indeed it's in the more grounded interpersonal relationships you can most clearly see him as he is I think#the fantasy death empire of a thousand years doesn't register quite as viscerally because it's like. heightened; not quite real#but the emotional violence and manipulation that surrounds him? oh boy that is EXTREMELY real and scarily well-observed)#there's a premeditation to so much of what he does (contracts with planets that only end 'in the event of the emperor's death' anyone?#yeah john we get it you're hilarious and I wish you weren't)#the greatest trick john ever pulled was making anyone think he's just a lil guy. what does he know he's only god#when you first read the book the complete callousness of the other adults is so horrible that john seems like an oasis of care#(though you start to get this uneasy feeling when that care never seems to translate to like... relief or soothing or resolution)#and it makes it feel almost obscene when you find out what's actually going on#it's the mercy & augustine enabler hour but at least they're completely honest in their cruelty there#while john is -- well he sure is being john huh#this is just me being angry with him btw philosophically I don't think this is how the story will or should end#(with john slam dunked right into hell that is)#it's just... harrow is so vulnerable. and what he does to her is so insidious and fucked up#john is very deeply human. unfortunately the capacity to quite simply suck so much is deeply human too

a hc i have is where Coruscant is still not a very good posting, but the Guardsmen try to make it as enjoyable as possible for the visiting troopers. they scout out good party/relaxation/dining spots for clones, they personally get supplies that troopers normally would never have (usually small things like nail polish, high quality shaving cream, a music box, etc.), and they just like to improve life on the planet in general for themselves and by extension the other troopers, which can add another reason for Fox and his commanders to be so busy & secretive so often (especially if you want to make the ways they make this possible very angsty and/or complicated) and another chance to make all the clones more connected despite their differing views/experiences.
#radio.static#i don't like thinking of ALL the other clones thinking of the Guardsmen negatively‚ so I tend to just try to find happier alternatives#i've been thinking of this for a few months‚ and then i came across a nice fic that had explored the same idea! made me happy#A very specific thought i've been having regarding this is where i tie in the hc that Jek has a garden & Rys can really soothe anxieties#so Jek invites stressed troopers to help or relax in the garden‚ and Rys can get them to talk about their issues in the safety of the garde#coruscant guard#commander fox#star wars#the clone wars#star wars the clone wars#sw#tcw#sw tcw#clone wars headcanons

For anyone else who is gonna struggle surviving the next 3 weeks with the angsty and tense situation of Callowmoore here's a few things from the last 2 episodes that I feel were underrated and will assist in trying to keep me sane/emotionally stable: - Matching messed up hands built for holding - Fearne nervously playing with her hair as she approaches Ashton - Ashton wanted Fearne to be either the last thing they saw if they died or the first thing they saw when they succeeded - Fearne's admittance corroborates Ashley's 4SD revelation that Fearne is in love with someone in the party but doesn't know how to process the emotions - Fearne wanted Ashton to be happy, while Ashton wanted to feel whole so they would be worthy of the Hells - Ashton twice tried to lead a search for Fearne, and instantly clocking onto Chetney saying he followed Fearne - Fearne making herself look as radiant as possible before giving Ashton the cold shoulder - Ashton only rose to Chetney's provocations until he said 'You hurt Fearne' Use how you will
#godspeed my poor damaged psyche#critical role#bells hells#callowmoore#ashton greymoore#fearne calloway#fearne x ashton#ashton x fearne#strangely enough I don't enjoy having a dark and sad pit sitting in my chest day to day#3 weeks and we don't even get a cute M9 reunion in between to distract us? this was worse than Callowmoore's sistergate 3 week wait#also 'a little'? Sweetie people don't jump into lava for a little you got the big L and it's not Lesbian(s)#Feel like Laudna was a bit cruel this ep (Ash has been there for her a ton and she kinda villainized him) but we'll put it down to Delilah#much of Ashton's trauma has been overlooked or left to them to internalize but still nobody has told them that they are loved#and Ashton Greymoore needs to be told they're loved! (by Fearne)#but yeah time for more positive mental scenarios that 99% won't happen (but when that 1% does ho boy)#couldn't have just had Fearne go 'no talking' and sleep on Ash's chest to hear their heartbeat as her touch soothes Ash's pain could we?#or final fight scenarios where Ludinus is a walking harness and Ashton tricks them into absorbing their titan powers so he'd explode#they could've even had a talk in the woods because they wanted to find her so bad but was not gonna test Imogen's patience#I for one though will have at least one where Ashton seeks out Mori for advice (Fearne too but separately)#Tal I need you to use all your romantic arsenal in the feywild (Percy's worst travel experience) to win back Ashley's beautiful faun girl#bonus prompts for 'You will always be perfect to me' and 'Promise you'll come back to me' they pop up often in my scenarios#taliesin jaffe#ashley johnson

Parallels are so fun
#lads xavier#love and deepspace#セイヤ#xavier x mc#I'm personally in an angst mood I think Xavier is a tragic character#and I'm right bc his codename in this scenario is Hermit#everybody else is in the mood for fluff but my bf is planning stuff for our Valentines day so i'm full off that#this is a good angst starter! i really don't like the unrealistic fics like cheater or one of them finds something about mc to hate#that makes nooo sense to me at all but this is actually something to work with#he's like what's wrong don't you want to become me and I you and we become one and our souls travel the universe in an increasingly#desperate voice until he gets this strange alien glint in his eyes and pins mc down#shushing her soothing her like of course this is what we both want LIKE BITE ME BITCG#i get to update my Philos alien hcs off of this banner alone it's great

I want to read about Jamie courting the hell out of Roy, wining and dining him, bringing him coffee in the morning, leaving him pastries on his desk with a sweet post it note, buying him flowers, making him hella flustered and panicky at the lack of control because that's always been Roy's role when dating someone
#he also brings him soup and medicine when he's sick of course#and sometimes he'll carry his bag or the groceries bags#the first time Roy stays over at Jamies and Jamie makes sure he's got ice packs for his knee and the right freeze cream to give him a massa#he'll bump hips with him while walking and look him with those big smiley eyes#he lets Roy borrow his hoodie one day and then proceeds to be unable to stop starting at him cause he loves him so much in his clothes#he wants to do all the domestic shit with Roy#he smiles so big every time they brush their teeth together or go grocery shopping or hold hands in the car#I have this obsession with picturing Roy having a very shitty day with chronic pain and Jamie just finds him curled up on the couch facing#the back of it grimacing in pain wrapped up in a blanket#and he knees on the floor right by his head and wraps his arms around him like one going over Roy side but under Roy's arm then holding his#their hands over Roy's chest#slowly nuzzling his neck giving little temple kisses whispering soothing words#roy jamie#royjamie#jamieroy#jamie x roy#roy x jamie

Hot tip that I just realized I do when I’m in my yearly MRI but some of you might not know to do.
Them fuckers is LOUD. So fucking loud. They will give you a pair of ‘headphones’ that aren’t electric or metal, but connected to the other room through a plastic tube that they can send both music or their voice through to ask you to stop moving or warn you about things.
This means that you will not be raw dogging that evil sound and if a tech ever tries to make you (tho idk if that’s even possible cause the headphones also serve to hold your head into place in the cage) then kick them in the gnads and run away. That can do some SEVERE damage to your ears and hearing!!!!
So what they do is pump music through the headphones, they’ll typically ask you what you wanna listen to. I go for classic because I’m already stressing over holding still lmao, and it’s not exciting but I find it soothing, ask for what you find most soothing.
Here’s the tip: don’t ask for loud music to cover up the machines. You will literally be doing twice the damage to your ears. Ask for the music to play fairly low. Even if you can still hear the machine, which you will, if you focus on that music your brain will try and filter out the machine sounds to the point where you’re doing less damage to your ears, are less likely to come out with a migraine, and also be more relaxed because your brain is taking the effort to focus on the music, and will relax your body as a response.
Also get a knee pillow. Trust me if you’re gonna be in that tube for an hour, you need something under your knees if you don’t want a backache.
#this post brought to you by a random note I saw on another post#where someone said they find the mri machine soothing and honestly it’s not bad#I like the small enclosed space but the inevitable backache mixed with the noise is what does me in#that shit kills my ears but it’s been so much better since I learned the quiet music trick#it’s like a lullaby if you have to force yourself to focus#I’m not gonna lie I’ve nearly fallen asleep in those things since#mri#mri machines

"shadows are inverted flames" -> wilsons hair is made of shadow -> YOUR BOYFRIEND'S HAIR IS MADE OF FLAME??? PETPETPETPET
also wilson can't leave the throne so he just has to deal with her doing this 24/7
#i cant believe i frankensteined this piece back to acceptability. wack.#dont starve#dst willow#wilson higgsbury#willowson#i kind of uh. hated the linework for this. so then i just. threw every trick i knew at the piece until it tuned out ok#still. dont look too hard.#real talk... it probably feels like thick clouds of smoke... incredibly soft... very soothing yes yes.#i will always come back to willowson. Actually Mad mad scientist x escaped asylum felon arsonist.#and its always a toss up as to who is going to be more unstable in any given situation.#they take turns.#usually wilson is Responsible. he likes feeling adult unlike willow. but sometimes he goes WACK and willow goes (sigh) guess ill clock in#what if we were both horrible people put in a situation where it didnt really matter anymore#could we find some kind of solace in the now-mundane insanity. could it become borderline domestic.#the closest thing to a home either of us have really ever had#i know wilsons parents canonically loved him very much . but#what has it amounted to for him? does he even believe he was loved at all?#his comments about nannies... they left you alone a lot didnt they poor boy. with nothing but books and bad ideas and worse thoughts#and willow. (gestures to the ashes of the orphanage and the Metaphor of 'seeing shadows')#wilson (haunted by his mind) (as in the threat is internal and the threat is Him)#willow (haunted by her mind) (AS IN SHE IS LITERALLY BEING HAUNTED)#(alternatively a metaphor for a vague and nameless mental illness. more of an allusion to the old 'asylums' than a specific diagnosis)#also they have fangs. ok goodnight#my nyart

nil + rendezvous
Horizon Zero Dawn (2017) | Horizon Forbidden West (2022)
#nil horizon#niloy#horizon forbidden west#horizon zero dawn#hfw#hzd#hfwedit#captions hard but it's about the growth. it's about the way he has a special spot in mind and an... activity in mind.#and in hfw instead of a duel to the death we are riding the edge of life and death. a dance that holds death close at the perfect distance#repeatable and therefore perpetual. they can race again and again. death is a one time thing.* before bringing up the mesa he mourns#the loss of bandits to kill and seems to not see any further... reason to be alive. he will not kill innocents. he invites aloy to the mesa#with the intention of dying by her hand. because she is his partner. his equal. instead she spares him.#saying she doesn't think he has a death wish and that she sees there's a need for him in the world. that is. an earth shattering#thing to hear. it's no wonder he feels restless after the battle of meridian. aloy has disappeared so there really isn't anything left for#him in the east (not yet anyway. i have thoughts about post-hfw progressions but i digress). he has a reason to stay alive (aloy)#but not a purpose. certainly nothing to fulfill his thrill-seeking itch. so he heads west. and finds the racers.#*he mentions wishing he could kill bandits more than once as well. he wishes for repeatability. sustainability. bc there is so much going o#in his head and i think killing soothed it to an extent. but also perpetuated the issue obviously. racing soothes his demons without the#negative repercussions..... i think i am done now

High protocol could fix qijiu

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
↳ Dennis + grabbing / squeezing his fingers
#iasip#it's always sunny in philadelphia#dennis reynolds#autistic dennis reynolds#ada's gifs#ada speaks#self soothing dennis my beloved#its always squeezing. always.#whether it's fingertips or knuckles or his palms#the more manic and uncomfortable he is the more aggressively he massages.#i think it says a lot that half of these were so predictably occurring i went straight to find them and wasn't disappointed#this is basically his default for when he's nervous or uncomfortable or upset. unless he's holding a beer or something else in his hands#anger/rage tends to have him doing more bombastic hand gestures or putting his hands on his hips defiantly#this hand wringing though. he's hunching. making himself smaller. effectively displaying an instinctual weakness while trying to soothe#he does the hand flapping a lot in nightman cometh too when he's dealing with his stage fright#i know there are a shitton more but if i sit on this any longer i will drive myself insane.#dennisisms
