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

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

My tolerance for rom-coms has hit an all time low. Every time these idiots are like, "Let's move in together, it's the most romantic thing a couple can do to show they love each other!" I just feel that smoker meme in my soul.
Marriage, folks, the thing you're actually thinking of is marriage.
There's nothing more romantic than swearing to spend your life together. But admit it, you're too cowardly to commit to any ACTUAL romance in your life. :/
#this is so dumb#all these countries around the world wonder why the birth rate is so low#BECAUSE Y'ALL AIN'T GETTIN' MARRIED#“We need to legitimize the idea that you can have kids outside of marriage”#my guy#MY GUY#you are in for so many worlds worth of hurt you dang idiot#marriage is the only institution in which children can thrive#and allowing your culture to degrade that is just ASKING for every kind of imaginable disaster to fall upon your children and grandchildren#i need to find another action flick to soothe my ruffled spirit

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

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

He is a big idiot tomcat. so friendly!!#once we befriend him adequately he will go off to the vet for a gender affirmation procedure and then we will find him an owner

Need castiel to come and hit me in the head with a hammer
#not for harm reasons I think it would be soothing#my braon feels like flattened out cardboard right now#doing a masters degree takes so much wooooooork#(as cas would say: work. yes.)#he could heal me afterwards I just think it would be a) stimulating and b) sexy#don't read b don't look at number b shh sh shut up#him loosely swinging a hammer and then whacking it into my head with precision. need a gif of that but it's not real 😞#CUT AND PRINT!#cawis creates#< I'm gonna want to find this post again if I ever say I'm normal about castiel lmao

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

High protocol could fix qijiu

fatphobia becoming more rampant these days like the early 00s again means I'm only gonna fight back harder with romanticizing my chubby ocs and making even more chubby ocs as romantic leads
#im not saying fatphobia was completely gone years ago#but we're definitely slipping backwards bc of the popularity of the 00s trend#and it sucks its bringing back this bullshit too#i wont lie its been so hard for me lately#a way for me to soothe that and find empowerment is thru my art
