what others say about you aren’t facts. they are only looking at you from the lens that they have, and lenses can be coloured.

the point is, you’ll never be perceived absolutely the same by two people. therefore, there’s no point trying to earn the “nicest person ever” medal because it doesn’t exist. there’s no point trying to convince others of your worth.

the only one who needs to believe in it is you.

Have you ever consumed so many devastating TLOU fics that you your heart was at risk of being permanently broken? Does the thought of Part 2 being filmed right now and our collective timeline inching closer to *that scene* airing on HBO with Pedro and Bella make your palms sweat? Same!

My prescription for you is to read today's spotlight stories and remember that, actually, we can stop torturing these two at any time we'd like. (Personally, I won't, but reading Joel and Ellie father-daughter fluff once in a while is good for general mental health.) I'm always reading and writing angst and @becomethesun's fics always feel like a breath of fresh air - and, of course, makes me even more heartbroken at all of the what-could-and-should-have-beens that TLOU I promised and TLOU II used to torment us. She is currently writing a Sam and Henry live AU (Collaborators) that is an answer to my prayers. The two stories linked here are favourites of mine:

true blue by @becomethesun 18,505 words || 5 chapters featuring: family fluff, Ellie adapting to life in jackson, good dad Joel Miller, Ellie gets to be a kid

me and my dog (and an impossible view) by @becomethesun 6055 words || one shot featuring: family fluff, good dad Joel Miller, Ellie gets a dog

from @march-flowerr: "If I had to pick one fic only to re read for the

rest of my life, becomethesun’s “true blue is (it feels good to be known so well)” would probably be it. I’m hard pressed to think of a story that I hold dearer than this - five chapters, short but flush with all the small details and nuances of life in Jackson that we don’t get to see in the game. “True Blue” offers such a sweet catharsis while still holding to canon. Becomethesun gives us these compact, bright glimpses into Ellie’s daily life in Jackson: we get to see her goofing off with Dina and Cat, learning to relax into her relationship with Joel, finding her footing in her new family and community. It paints such a tender and clear picture of Ellie as a girl - not Ellie, the ex Fedra cadet, or Ellie the cure - but Ellie as a kid, with friends and questions and ambition and insecurities and a love for her little world so big that it is breathtaking.

In “me and my dog (and an impossible view)”, we’re introduced to Strelka, Ellie’s dog. She finds her as a puppy in an abandoned book store and brings her home to Jackson. Strelka sees her through her through her first rough days of school, sick days and snow days. I don’t really think much more needs to be said about this fic to illustrate just why it’s so good - Ellie gets a cute little dog that makes her happy. What more do you want, people??"

Re-reading these fics feel like coming home. There’s a lyrical cadence to becomethesun's words that I am drawn continuously to. I love the feel of her fics: the syrupy sweet way the story wends itself through from beginning to end, the way that all these intense emotions and elements are whittled down into simple, intimate moments, like making paper crowns with a friend or curling up with your dog after a long day. The real beauty of these fics is the way that becomethesun has chosen to take the small things - the mundane, the day by day - and has chosen to let them shine. To remind us that amidst real horrors - and let’s be real, TLOU has a lot of those - there is still good to be had, that the little things that make up a life well lived - the things we take for granted - are the most important things. That even when it feels like your world is ending, you can still sit on a porch with your family and feel safe. That at the end of the hardest days, you can always come home."

If you read and love this, please please show the author some love and leave a kudos / comment!! Happy fandoming y'all.

Joel Miller isn't dead if we keep him alive y'all.

I mean... At the very least I can add a TUA fix-it fic to my drafts right?

[seriousturd]

Another batch of silly doodles hehe

[sweetybaty]

I think my fic is not good but somehow people like it, so to cope I call it Flippaky Twilighty fanfic

Maybe it doesnt make any sense, but it takes me out of the thought

"This is the skin of a killer Flakyyy😭😭✨✨✨"

i have this awful thing where i don't really notice how much money I've made, i only care if I've made a net gain from when i last looked

You two seem rlly comfortable with eachother... How long did that take?

The way this is worded, I mean come on--

(Two months 28 days.)

Fuckin-- Okay! So specific-- howdoyouevenremember--

R-right, so, it was a process. Obviously the... goopy, weird reptile stuff was a huge psychological hurdle to get over. I didn't like it touching me or being too close to me. But one day this guy just...

...I dunno, I forget how it happened, but he gave me my first hug (from him). I didn't protest right away so that was incentive enough for it to do it again, and again, and again, at least once daily so I'd get used to it, and even if I made a fuss, it... Well, it...

...I could feel your ease.

Yeah. That. You've got this weird... "6th sense" thing for my emotions.

One day, I ran out of my anxiety meds and couldn't get a refill right away. I still had to work. There were a few really horrid customers that day. By the end of my shift I was shaking like a wet little dog.

Then Oni just takes me to the back, does his weird goopy puddle shit, and lets me just kinda sink into him.

I was too frozen to do anything, so I just laid there for an hour, doing nothing. He was... warm, and there was this constant white noise of this rumble thing he does-- I think you guys have heard it-- the "Rrrrr" thing. So it calmed me down considerably.

From that point I've been really indifferent to his goop stuff, his touch, all that. I associate him with "He is coming to Make My Day Better", instead of "WEIRD CLONE WANTS TO MAKE MY DAY WORSE," so my mind's definitely changed since we first met.

I still slip back sometimes, because anxiety, but still.

I’ve seen people say that if it was one of the girls doing this we would love it which is just so hilarious because are you new here? There’s just so much hypocrisy surrounding this whole ordeal it’s amazing. Like it’s ok for Ash/Tal to make these decisions but we have to be ok with them because it’s there game and the cast is friends and isn’t mad or annoyed with anything. Like be so fucking for real rn.

what's hilarious about that take is the girls would never do anything like that and we all know it so it's a moot point lmao

also this is not new behaviour from ashton like??? he's had many moments of self-absorption where he tries to one-up others who have suffered as if he has a monopoly on it. he inserts himself into situations where he isn't required and tries to take charge in situations where it's inappropriate. what he did with the shard lines up with all of that.

Why isn't therapy working for you? Or does counselling actually work? I get these questions a lot. The truth is therapy is not a one size fit all, and there are many types of therapy from CBT to DBT to Parts Work to EMDR and so many more. Furthermore, there are therapists and counselors who specialize in different items you may have experienced or are suffering with. And so if you find yourself asking does therapy work or why therapy isn't working for you or does therapy actually work, the truth is you may need to change your approach to therapy. In this video I'll talk about the 5 reasons therapy may not be working for you.

What you will learn from this video: The significance of the therapeutic relationship in therapy effectiveness. The importance of honesty and authentic dialogue in therapy sessions. The necessity of actively engaging in the therapeutic process outside of sessions. Understanding and aligning personal goals with the purpose of therapy. Recognizing and addressing internal resistance to change in therapy.
