#I think I lost my mind somewhere

[mercifullymad]

i feel passionately about the need to enfold people experiencing (or diagnosed) with "just" depression or anxiety into the mad pride project. the more people who view themselves as mad, the better. much as the rhetorical move from "neurotypical" to "neuroconforming" emphasizes the artifice & social construction of "neurotypicality," so too will expanding identification as "mad" expose the sane/mad dichotomy as a false one.

it's true that (some) people with "just" depression and/or anxiety have an easier time navigating the psych system than people who have more stigmatized diagnoses. but this is not to say that they necessarily have an easy time — the carceral psych system is hostile to everyone subsumed by it, even the most "privileged" patients. we should of course critique & examine how our experiences are shaped by various intersections of privilege, but we cannot forget or ignore how someone with "just" a depression/anxiety diagnosis can still experience the full force of the carceral psych system brought down upon them (including but not limited to involuntary institutionalization, police intervention, & forced medication or other forced treatment).

we must encourage, if not insist, that those with the least-stigmatized diagnoses view their difficult experiences navigating the psych system as bound up with the liberation of people who have more stigmatized diagnoses &, often, a more violent experience of the psych system. we need more people to drop the "i have anxiety/depression but i'm not crazy" line and say loudly, "i have anxiety/depression & i am crazy. my access to just treatment is linked to the conditions of all other crazy people, who are my allies, peers, & friends. we are united in our cause & we all deserve a more liberating system of care."

I get where you are coming from on some level but sexualizing your tattoo artist is REALLY weird. They were just doing their job, don't be fucking weird about it

I wasn't weird about it, I barely spoke 2 words to him while he tattooed me cause im pretty shy in settings like that, I paid him, I left, then I made a one sentence silly tumblr post saying "yeah I thought the dude that tattooed me today was kinda hot" when i got home, i was never sexualizing or demeaning towards him in any way. ive also thought construction workers are hot while walking past construction sites. i thought my senior year english teacher was hot. i think the singer for my favorite band is hot. are yall not attracted to real people or is it only cartoon characters? the call is coming from inside the house, yall are the fucking weird ones lmao what even is this ask. why is every dweeb on tumblr so adverse to being attracted to real life people. just delete your account and become a catholic monk at this point.

re: selling sunset my sister is trying to get me back into watching the show and you're absolutely right romain is the only one who has his shit together. f1 is kind of like office drama - you know about it and it compels you and everyone chooses a side even if you never talk about it and you can chat with your coworkers about it over drinks bc you don't have skin in the game. and selling sunset is like watching plane crash compilations - irrelevant, you know it's probably not going to end well , and yet you can't look away bc it's not something you see every day

tldr i will be staying in my little f1 corner but it's a silly little coincidence that you watch selling sunset as well

yeah it’s objectively a terrible show. i’ve seen the whole thing before. katya and i just finished season 2 or 3 (mary just got married) and yea i forgot how tame the beginning seasons are compared to the later ones where like people are threatening to sue eachother left right and center. we need more of romain. only guy with his shit together. and and tarek in that one episode where he like went the at christine and surprised everyone that was iconic.

drive to survive tried to be like selling sunset and they failed in a funny way

Why making friends is hard

at least for me

[synonymroll648]

hey guys what if guilt tolerance levels were at least somewhat inherited. what if alden’s kids were more susceptible to mind-breaks since he’s been shown to have a breaking point met that many elves haven’t ever reached (total mind break). what if it’s not violence that pushes them (given della’s higher tolerance to violence than average shown in book 4) but nonviolent mistakes. things anyone could do. what then

[gilgil-machine]

What headcanon you have for Gil? I know you already write a post about that, but is good have an update time to time.

(Valid to Enkidu too)

Actually, I don't really have a lot of new headcanons which I can add to my small pile but I still have couple of those.

Gilgamesh is weak to strong alcohol like whiskey, rum, etc. and gets completely wasted after like a shot or two and that's why he always drinks only beer/wheat ale or wine (And those drinks should be of high quality as well. Naturally.)

Gilgamesh has a low tolerance for extremely hot weather. Hot and humid summers in Japan are his worst nightmare. Even though he's from Middle East which known to always have dry and hot climate, but still 4000+ years ago it wasn't so hot like it is right now. So during summer you wouldn't see him going out somewhere during daytime (maybe that's another reason why he enjoyed staying in dark halls of the church🤭)

Gilgamesh sleeps naked. I think that's more like a canon thing rather than a headcanon especially knowing Gilgamesh's antics. I think that he has this philosophy that during sleep body should rest completely even from clothing and on most high quality sheets as well. Naturally. So if you gonna have a chance to share a bed with him be ready to get used to this, also he would demand for you to get naked as well because he would also prefer to feel the warmth of your body without any barriers between the two of you.

Ngl it's so funny to me when i see people wondering why on earth i ship those two so much like, oh buddy your guess is as good as mine

[demonbloodenthusiast]

91w deancas is so delusional cause they been making heart eyes at each other since day fucking one, calling the other sweatheart, thinking of kissing the other innocently just for the sake of the other being kissed, because they deserve that softness in the midst of all the chaos around them and the minute they actually get to it (motherfucking 200 pages in mind you) they try so hard to revert it back into something purely phisical with no emotions involved AND THEY KNOW THAT IT'S MORE BUT IF THEY BOTTLE IT UP AND IGNORE IT THEN ALL THE REVERENCE OF MOST OF THEIR LOOKS AND TOUCHES WILL JUST DISAPPEAR which is the epitome of the dilusional repressed gay way of doing anything

self indulgent got concept.

Ned brings Jon home, Cat hates the boy, everything stays the same... until Robert Baratheon is charging through the halls of Winterfell looking for the babe, ready to butcher the poor thing where he lay helpless in his cradle.

in a matter of moments Catelyn learns three things:

The babe was never a bastard, Ned had only lied to her to protect Jon, and that she would die before she let Robert lay a finger on the babe she'd previously wished death upon.

cue Catelyn Stark snatching Jon from his cradle, holding him, protecting him, loving him as she would her own son, risking it all to keep him safe, all care for herself thrown to the wind.

like they say, what a mother's love holds no bounds, and what it makes her capable of had no limits.

to be honest with everybody I don't think I'm supposed to be here. I think I'm supposed to be somewhere else

[empty-cryptid]

When someone asks a kid, "what you want to do when you're older?", the kid answers with enthusiasm and excitement, no matter how niche the occupation is.

"I want to find dinosaur bones!"

"I want to be president!"

"I want to go to space!"

The adult answers with something to the effect of "wow, that would be a cool job!" (Would be. If it was something you could attain.)

When people ask an adult what they want to do for work, the answers are contemplative. Considering finances and the chance of finding a job that supports their lifestyle.

"I guess I could get better pay if I go for a trade like carpentry. I'd rather make pizza, but it doesn't pay well enough."

"I'd like to go for archeology, but the job market isn't good and I guess it isn't practical. Maybe I'll go for a business degree instead."

"I'd really enjoy the carpentry trade, but I don't really have the funds for that, so I guess I'll just stay here at my cashier job."

Everyone deserves to have a job they enjoy, and I wish the world supported that.

Going to university/college for fun should be easier too.
