I'm not normally one to do anything more than lurk on social media. But 2 days ago I got properly introduced to omegaverse content after being to intimidated for a while, yesterday I discovered Let Me Try, and now I am tearing through LINK content like a rabid dog.

So uh

Thanks?

I still wanted to ask some questions if thats okay.

What are canon ages of the boys at the time of Close your Eyes and Lock Me In?

Do you have an idea of a time gap between those two stories? They seem to be the main points of reference of the timeline

Hello! Yayy, LINK's caught another one!! You're very welcomee heheh<3

Like all the other specifics for the stories, their ages / locations / accents etc. are a bit vague on purpose. I like to leave the room for everyone’s own imagination based on what they’re familiar with. It makes things a bit fuzzy for the timeline sometimes, but I just prefer having the blurred reality instead of basing it on real places and tracking a firm timeline.

But generally, I eyeball the gap between CYE and LMT to be maybe a couple of years.

The later on in the timeline we get with the newer published parts, I’ve been thinking that Kizzy, as the oldest of the four, are now getting closer to the mid-twenties mark and maybe over. 

The age order is: Isac as the oldest (by two critical weeks🤺), then Kit, Liam’s a year younger, and then Nathan. -> Nat’s age difference to the others & the gap between the stories could technically vary +/- an extra year or so, depending on whatever length of uni you’d want to imagine.

So basically, the canon is vague and they are all twenty-ish something in CYE and LMT xx

I looked at my fanart of War Crimes with Anduin holding himself dying with Chromie, and I decided I wanted to draw more Anduin trauma with dragons...(wip)

[foundfamilyhq]

Below is propaganda submitted in support of why this character should join the tumblr found family:

Like other characters in the game, he takes inspiration (both visual and thematic) from a disney villain. As such, while he is heavily Judge Frollo coded, he himself is not just bishiefied Frollo. Instead of being a racist prick, his beef with the other characters is their use of magic (which he has as well). This is because before he unlocked his magic, he had a brother that had unlocked fire magic (similar to Rollo here) but had less control so the fire consumed him without any of the adult mages stopping and saving his brother. As such, he wants to eliminate all magic (including his own) to spare others a fate like that which befell his brother. So the boy needs a hug and some damn therapy, both of which we can give him should he become part of the tumblr found family. (Also he's got a great work ethic and various skills such as event planning, cleaning, and dress making. So we can get help with that from him too if he joins.)

I’m still rewatching doctor who slooowly with my mom and the like. Ridiculous obsession with women being mothers and that’s just the most important thing!!!! is driving me crazy and reminding me of why I eventually stopped watching in the first place lol

[sheogorad]

you know i've got it bad when i come back to tumblr to rant about my fucking stupid baka life. i am just. i'm chewing and munching and crunching on my own limbs. i had therapy where i talked about [redacted] and that seemed to help it a bit. but i feel like a big stupid idiot that talks too much and lets too much info slip. i feel so vulnerable and i don't even get to be held and loved. i'm getting nearly all the anxiety and pain of being vulnerable and honest in love WITHOUT THE LOVE. i literally want to fucking choke myself out. i want to run into the woods and bite trees like a fucking beaver. i hate how much bigger he is than me because every time i think about it i feel like i'm going to die because i KNOW. i know. how good it would feel to be his little spoon. his hugs are already insanely good. they already make me feel small and held. i just lay here every single day. every single night. and just fucking Yearn bro. i just. imagine. being spooned. and i feel like crawling out of this 3rd story window so i land head first on the concrete. then i might be put out of my gay misery. i shouldn't have to suffer like this, during PRIDE MONTH. catching feelings is homophobic

feeling so much better. appreciating some parts of my transition i did not expect to, and it helps alleviate some of the discomfort of being misgendered quite often at work, but it isn’t getting to me too much (i think i was expecting this, so it hurts but I knew it would happen and i have ways of coping) and the shame i felt towards the parts of me that society made me hate, like how naturally hairy i am everywhere, that i had half a goatee on my chin even before T that i shaved constantly because my ex made fun of me for it, my macro clit that guys in high school laughed about after sleeping with me because it looked like I had a tiny dick or something, that now feels like parts of me that I love.

I don’t feel such hatred towards myself. I think in part it’s just helped me deconstruct what I thought I had to be to be desired and attractive, and accept them as part of myself, and something I want to embrace. And as my belly grows and i enjoy eating, seeing the hair on my stomach darken and thicken makes me smile, more at home in my body. and even with completely changing how I present and live my life I feel more attractive and desirable than ever, the shame lifted and finding joy in the parts of me deemed ugly, and being wanted and loved for it.

more than anything i feel whole for the first time in my life, not searching for something to fill that void and constant voice that something is inherently wrong with me quieted. the pieces snapped together and i feel able to fully be present in my body and life not consumed by thoughts of How Fuckable I Look.

Narcissistic Abuse Recovery: Reclaiming Your Life with Trauma-Focused Therapy at New Chapter Counseling

You've survived the toxic grip of narcissistic abuse, but the emotional scars still linger. You may feel lost, powerless, and uncertain about how to break free from the manipulation and emotional damage that has held you captive. But here's the truth: you are not alone, and you don't have to face this journey alone. At New Chapter Counseling, we understand the profound impact of narcissistic abuse on your mental health and well-being. Our trauma-focused therapy is designed to help you reclaim your life, rebuild your self-worth, and rediscover your personal power.

Key Takeaways:

Trauma-Focused Therapy is necessary in helping individuals break free from the emotional hold of narcissistic abuse, addressing deep emotional wounds, and promoting healing.

Professional Support is vital in navigating complex emotional trauma, rebuilding self-worth, and reclaiming personal power, with options including individual and group therapy.

A Personalized Recovery Plan tailored to each individual's needs is critical in achieving emotional freedom and healing from narcissistic abuse, making it necessary to choose a trauma-informed approach like New Chapter Counseling.

Here is the text for the chapter 'The Devastating Impact of Narcissistic Abuse':

The Devastating Impact of Narcissistic Abuse

Before you can begin to heal, it's vital to acknowledge the profound impact narcissistic abuse has had on your life. The experience has likely left you feeling shattered, confused, and uncertain about your own worth and identity. You may struggle with anxiety, depression, or PTSD, and feel like you're walking on eggshells, never knowing when the next emotional blow will come.

The Emotional Toll on Survivors

Beside the obvious emotional scars, narcissistic abuse can also affect your physical health, relationships, and overall well-being. You may feel like you're losing yourself in the process, as the abuser's constant criticism and manipulation erode your confidence and self-esteem.

The Importance of Seeking Professional Help

Narcissistic abuse is a complex issue that requires specialized guidance to overcome. You can't do it alone, and trying to may lead to further emotional exhaustion.

This is where trauma-focused therapy comes in – a safe, non-judgmental space where you can confront the trauma head-on and begin to rebuild your sense of self. With the help of a trained therapist, you'll learn to recognize the patterns of abuse, develop coping strategies, and regain control over your life. By seeking professional help, you're taking the first step towards reclaiming your life and breaking free from the toxic grip of narcissistic abuse.

The Role of a Psychotherapist in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Little do people understand the significance of a psychotherapist's role in guiding survivors of narcissistic abuse towards recovery. A trained therapist can provide a safe and non-judgmental space for you to process your emotions, confront your trauma, and reclaim your life.

Creating a Safe and Non-Judgmental Space

Abandoning the feelings of shame and guilt, a psychotherapist creates an environment where you feel comfortable sharing your story without fear of criticism or blame. This safe space allows you to open up and confront the emotional scars of narcissistic abuse, taking the first step towards healing.

Guiding Survivors through the Healing Process

Behind the mask of confidence and control, narcissistic abuse can leave you feeling lost and powerless. A psychotherapist guides you through the healing process, helping you recognize patterns of abuse, rebuild your self-worth, and reclaim your personal power.

Creating a personalized recovery plan, your therapist works with you to identify triggers, develop coping strategies, and practice self-care techniques. Through this collaborative process, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself, your strengths, and your resilience, empowering you to break free from the emotional hold of narcissistic abuse and start anew.

Individual Counseling for Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

For individuals seeking a safe and personalized space to process their experiences, individual counseling offers a unique opportunity for growth and healing. Through one-on-one sessions, you'll work closely with a trained therapist to explore the complexities of narcissistic abuse and develop a tailored plan for recovery.

Fostering Self-Awareness and Empowerment

Among the most significant benefits of individual counseling is the chance to develop a deeper understanding of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. As you work through the emotional aftermath of narcissistic abuse, you'll gain insight into your strengths, vulnerabilities, and values, empowering you to make informed decisions that align with your true self.

Developing Healthy Coping Mechanisms

Around every corner of your recovery journey, you'll encounter opportunities to practice new skills and strategies. Through individual counseling, you'll learn healthy coping mechanisms to manage triggers, regulate emotions, and maintain boundaries, ultimately replacing old patterns with empowering habits that promote resilience and confidence.

Counseling provides a supportive environment to explore and experiment with various coping techniques, such as mindfulness, journaling, or creative expression. As you develop a personalized toolkit of healthy habits, you'll become more adept at navigating challenging situations and responding to emotional stimuli in a way that honors your well-being. By integrating these new skills into your daily life, you'll build a strong foundation for long-term recovery and personal growth.

The Power of SPECIALIZED GROUP THERAPY in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

Many survivors of narcissistic abuse find that individual therapy, while incredibly valuable, can be enhanced by the support and camaraderie of group therapy. Specialized group therapy offers a unique opportunity to connect with others who have experienced similar trauma, fostering a sense of community and understanding that can be profoundly healing.

Building a Community of Support and Validation

Among the most significant benefits of group therapy is the chance to build relationships with others who truly understand the complexities of narcissistic abuse. You'll find comfort in knowing that you're not alone, and that others have walked a similar path, allowing you to feel seen, heard, and validated.

Sharing Experiences and Gaining Perspective

Powerful connections are formed when survivors share their stories, revealing the common threads that weave together the experiences of those who have been affected by narcissistic abuse. You'll gain new insights into your own situation, and develop a deeper understanding of the tactics employed by narcissists.

Consequently, as you share your experiences and hear those of others, you'll begin to recognize patterns and behaviors that may have previously gone unnoticed. This newfound awareness will empower you to break free from the emotional hold of your abuser, and reclaim your sense of self. Through this process, you'll develop a stronger, more resilient you, equipped to navigate the challenges of recovery and beyond.

Here are the paragraphs for the chapter "Trauma-Focused Therapy for Abuse Survivors":

Trauma-Focused Therapy for Abuse Survivors

Not all therapy approaches are created equal when it comes to addressing the complex trauma of narcissistic abuse. Trauma-focused therapy is a specialized approach that acknowledges the profound impact of abuse on your emotional well-being and relationships. By working with a trained therapist, you can begin to unravel the tangled web of emotions, thoughts, and behaviors that have developed as a result of the abuse.

Addressing the Root Causes of Trauma

Beneath the surface of your symptoms and struggles lies a deeper story of pain, fear, and survival. Trauma-focused therapy helps you explore the root causes of your trauma, including the abuse itself, and how it has shaped your sense of self and relationships. This process allows you to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and the abuse, which is imperative for lasting healing and recovery.

Reclaiming Control and Agency

Above all, trauma-focused therapy empowers you to reclaim control over your life and emotions. You will learn to recognize and challenge the negative self-talk, self-doubt, and shame that have held you back for so long. By developing a greater sense of self-awareness and self-compassion, you can begin to make choices that align with your values, needs, and desires, rather than being driven by the expectations of others.

This process of reclaiming control and agency is not about erasing the past or pretending the abuse didn't happen. Rather, it's about acknowledging the abuse, processing your emotions, and developing the skills and confidence to live a life that is authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling to you. With trauma-focused therapy, you can break free from the grip of narcissistic abuse and start living the life you deserve.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in Narcissistic Abuse Recovery

After experiencing the emotional turmoil of narcissistic abuse, it's imperative to rewire your thought patterns and behaviors to regain control over your life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a valuable tool in this journey, helping you identify and challenge negative thought patterns, develop resilience and confidence, and ultimately, break free from the emotional hold of your abuser.

Challenging Negative Thought Patterns

By examining the distorted beliefs and assumptions that have been ingrained in your mind, you can begin to recognize the patterns of self-doubt, fear, and anxiety that have held you back. Through CBT, you'll learn to reframe these negative thoughts, replacing them with more balanced and realistic ones, empowering you to make healthier choices and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

Developing Resilience and Confidence

Therapy provides a safe space to explore and strengthen your sense of self, helping you develop the resilience and confidence needed to navigate life's challenges without the burden of your abuser's influence. As you progress, you'll become more adept at setting boundaries, asserting your needs, and cultivating a deeper understanding of your values and desires.

Indeed, as you work through the process of developing resilience and confidence, you'll begin to notice significant shifts in your daily life. You'll feel more grounded and self-assured, better equipped to handle stress and uncertainty, and more capable of forming healthy, fulfilling relationships. By reclaiming your sense of self and developing a stronger, more resilient you, you'll be able to live a life that truly reflects your values, desires, and aspirations.

Summing up

Summing up, you now possess a deeper understanding of the devastating effects of narcissistic abuse and the transformative power of trauma-focused therapy in reclaiming your life. By acknowledging the patterns of abuse, rebuilding your self-worth, and reclaiming your personal power, you can break free from the emotional hold of toxic relationships.
