Please don't send spirituality tips to people who are actually psychotic it will worsen they health if they try to use them instead of going to specialist. It's really dangerous. I'm sorry. This ask comes from someone who was sent to exorcist because of accidentally misunderstood mental illness and the exorcist told me I wasn't possesed and I had mental illness.
How about: don't tell me what to fucking do. How about that? I beat all my mental illness with very little meds, to tapering off, and with God.
Psychotic people tend to be ritually abused and targeted for bullying even more because of their fragile mentality. If you're psychotic, learn patience. It is the virtue of Wrath within the seven deadly sins. Wrath is the most deadly of the seven sins. Learn patience, and just keep learning. Do breathwork/meditation. Every other person with psychotic tendencies is tired of having their sanity tested to no ends, regardless of who, what, how, or why the sender is doing it. Most mentally ill people aren't senseless and evil like the ignorant, "normal", never-been-diagnosed tend to think 'we' are. That said, degeneracy does and can lead to mental illness as well. Good/Evil also lies on a spectrum within mental illness.

I get that calling white lotus lbh a sticky little 'sheep' is a canon translation and stuck in the fandom now anyway, but I do feel the intended spirit of the original word wasn't the sheeple/dumb herd animal that's more common in the western world, but instead something actually conveying sweetness, innocence, purity and youth - lamb.
Famous for being utterly adorable and following around their mothers, gambolling in sunny meadows, curly white wool shining.
And NOW we can talk about black sheep/wolf in sheep's clothing metaphors.
#Picturing Sqq sweetly calling lbh a little lamb 🥺#Him calling lbh a sheep never felt quite right but LAMB???#And lbh following him around all bright and gangly and moon eyed ToT#Did you know the phrase originates from the wool of black sheep being much harder to dye and thus being undesirable in the wool industry?#That's why sheep are white and not like. Tan or brown or w/e like more natural colours.#But the black fur gene still pops up sometimes so you get white wool parents and siblings and a tiny black lamb trotting along#Who's wool you can never sell and who can't risk having offspring of their own#Also where the baa baa black sheep rhyme comes from! The wool was often sold at a very cheap price because it was so undesirable!#Ngl if someone called me their lamb idk what I'd do. Something desperate for sure#Theyre also sometimes a symbol for Jesus especially around Easter. So. That's a. Thing. That Sqq would most certainly read far too deep int#svsss#mxtx svsss#scum villain#luo binghe#luo bingge#luo bingmei#scum villain's self saving system#scum system#bingqiu#bingyuan#Idk but considering I'm talking about their pet names I'll count it#Gosh lbh calling Sqq shepherd in response... Crook around his neck metaphor I'll go wherever you lead us my guiding star mmm#Sleepy? Yes. Right? Also yes

(Click for better quality)
#first time properly drawing these guys#Hello Walten Files Fandom#the pumpkin rabbit#witch sheep#the mysterious house#the walten files#twf#my art#I haven’t thought about or engaged with twf in a good while#lowkey forgot about it ngl#but upon seeing that PR got a plushie I had to get it#had a brief fixation on tmh thanks to being reminded of its existence#I rewatched mysterious house for Halloween and i still enjoy it#pumpkin rabbit is still my favorite character#why is it always the murderous yellow/orange rabbits that end up being my favorite#anyway so I learned he apparently would wear black lipstick if he were human and his first design had it so. i gave him some#on his bottom lip bc top lip looked a bit weird#I never want to draw a spiked collar ever again#do not question me on the anatomy.#I know it’s a bit wrong#but I like how this turned out overall :)

i think a lot about hot sauce and jeannemary. two young girls so ready to kill and to die. a comparison made all the worse when you recall that hot sauce lost all her family to the cohort, that she can specifically recall fourth style necromancy (using corpses as bombs). a fourteen and thirteen year old that could easily have been on opposite sides of the same front line.
#the locked tomb#the loss of childhood! senseless violence!#opposite ends of the propaganda machine#eskildit posts tlt#all of nona the ninth#how am i supposed to tag hot sauce#jeannemary chatur#ok to rb#edit: okay im actually gonna use these tags to ramble a lil#in many ways i feel alecto the ninth is gonna be the hardest book to actually pull off#first for the obvious reason that its an ending and endings are always hard#but second because nona the ninth was by far the most political book of the series#books 1 and 2 following harrow and gideon mean we're following characters on the outskirts of the empire#gideon is individually oppressed by the ninth and even harrow is considered a black sheep outsider of the nine houses#but they are still WITHIN the houses gideon has dreams of the cohort harrow has dreams of of revitalizing her house#nona was our actual introduction to the real consequences of the empire that characters like judith like jeannemary like corona herself#have their livelihoods and status entirely built on the imperial violence we see first hand on new rho#anyway i say all of this to say it means coming back to these characters might be kinda tricky!#the cost of the empire is no longer abstract its extremely palpable!#how does one return to our core cast we've know for multiple books now that we understand that#idk. interested to see where we go!

I keep lingering on the fact that Chetney says that the only thing left when he came home was toys, because on its face it's such a strange detail.
He says it as though he feels like it was an indication that his family left the one thing that was associated with him, that he cared about, that he has essentially crafted his whole identity around, which indicated to him that they were left there because the family didn't want them—and by extension, didn't want him.
But what if there was something else? What if he'd misinterpreted? What if they were trying to leave them as a point of connection, like a coded note that they were thinking about him as they fled? What if a misunderstanding left Chetney alone for his entire life, and it was entirely his fault?
It's like, god, his confession feels so concrete (in a way that Travis is very good at when talking around backstory) such that it really starkly outlines what he doesn't say. And gnomes live such long lives that, yes, you could have relatives walk in and out of your life with some regularity and spend a lot of time independent and distant without ever severing the connection, and it doesn't feel like the circumstances in the family were so bitter that the family cared so little as to simply abandon him entirely, at least not without extenuating circumstances.
I just keep thinking about it and the more I think about it the more I want to know what happened, because there's something else there—but the thing is, a large part of Chetney as a character is that sometimes you do feel such resentment for so long that by the time you even think to reconsider, things (or people) have changed or passed, and there isn't always a satisfying answer to be had.
#kinda like. opposite of fjord actually.#with fjord you have the idea that you can change and things can change but sometimes you CAN go back and find someone who loved you#anyway like. yeah I keep thinking about how much the vibe also feels like how essek talks about his family.#just so distant and very much the black sheep of the family but there's still genuine caring even if there's not understanding#I do think about longevity so much okay. do not get me started about long-lived characters I will not stop#critical role#cr meta#chetney pock o'pea#cr spoilers

Winters doesn't drink and withstands the ribbing of his fellow officers while Nixon outlasts them all. They are perfect opposites, these two: Winters, the fair-haired, straight-laced all-American pragmatist there to discover and express his full potential; and Nixon, a swarthy, drunken, reckless, irresponsible child of privilege, free of his family and happy for the first time in his life. They are the middle-class Golden Boy and the upper-class Black Sheep, and they are irresistibly drawn to one another and to a mutual resolve to out-wit and out-fight the Wehrmacht. They are just beginning to know one another. from the BoB bible
#still can't get the“middle class golden boy and upper class black sheep” out of my mind#classic#bob bible#lewis nixon#dick winters#winnix

Realizing that Black Sheep as a story falls perfectly in place if I just changed the setting to being in the south near the city I grew up in and the rural college I’m in right now has opened my eyes in a way I did not think it would lol
#like yeah#it fits because it was written from the lense of a southern queer person#and now I realize how many of the themes I don’t have to write or research#because I *lived* them#I definitely think I was never meant to complete black sheep while still in college lol#talking dog#black sheep

came face to face with an ardennes horse on the other side of a fence on my walk today. nearly cried because i miss these big lovely creatures with my whole heart. i'm fine (most definitely not)
#pros of our new apartment: we live close to horses & several other animals (had a long chat with a flock of sheep and a very old goat)#cons: i am constantly reminded of my past as a horsegirl and the pain of not knowing when or how or if i will ever be able to return to it#ouch!#anyway. made eye contact with a big black horse with grey hairs in his forehead and his long mane was brown in the sunlight#i stood there for ten minutes and Looked at him and his equally big bay friend as they scratched each other and ate nonstop#if you even care#being poor + without a car + the only riding school you can imagine going back to being filled with people you'd rather not meet again ..#not good!#i keep having this thought that once i've moved somewhere else and am able to stand on my own legs .. then i can go back to the horses#it still hurts me that my equine therapist turned out to be like .. borderline abusive. at the very least a terrible person to have that jo#that could have been everything and more but nope :')#very ironic that the place i went to in order to deal with trauma created another trauma

Charr gossip about Leo probably goes crazy, im only saying this, bc i Am writing the ambient dialogue. Unfortunately a Lot of it is pretty negative but it does eventually. Get better.
Its mostly due to the fact its considered suspicious how much Leo is able to circumvent traditional charr power climbing. He never kills, he chooses mercy, He gains several ranks within a year. He loses the respect of his fellow charr over the years for his ideals. He practices magic, theres already an existing rumor about him feeling empathy for the ascalonian ghosts which makes people think hes weird. But when he starts getting/showing results of his unique view and leadership they start to quiet down.
#Leo is very much still a black sheep within the legions though and that never changes esp bc the majority of his time spent as tribune#is still following the dragon threat mainly.

#Doodles#Webkinz#Webkinz hours! The cute lads have wedged their way back to the forefront of my mind haha#I'm honestly really glad I kept all my Webkinz plush over time and they've survived all the moves and whatnot#Some are still missing - most notably my horses for some reason - but I have the rest onhand and they're still cute and soft and I love them#Getting the opportunity to name and play with them as a young'un made them stick quite strongly in my mind ♪#And I still find some of my design sensibilities with their roots in the gameplay/game design/UI design/interactivity#I think it inspired some of my Video Game Design brain which is an aspect of myself I'm quite happy with :D#And I /love/ plushies probably now more than ever <3 So I'm doubly glad younger me didn't get rid of them haha#Got my lineup that featured in Tala's Requestober this year ♥ I left out a couple for what are probably obvious reasons ahem ahem#If you haven't seen what the Official design of the clownfish is in Webkinz... The plushy is arguably worse lol why that one of all of them#Hire me to design Webkinz fish I dare you#There are actually several cute fish - and several ugly ones! Lol I don't know why they're so inconsistent#It's not like the differences between Signature and Classic! Most of the fish are Classic or eStore! I don't know what gives lol#Anyway lol the other one I left out was my Night Mare since I couldn't remember his name either - which is a shame! I liked him#I still have some fairly clear memories of playing Webkinz with those lads <3 Of the different rooms and relationships and games#It's nostalgic! It's nice to reminisce on something so cheery and cute and light and fluffy :)#As for the rest hehe - I tend to pick up 'kinz whenever I find them at secondhand shops and the like - much like Lalaloopsies#They're out of production! Harder to find - rare and valuable haha totally#I haven't found any New With Tags so far but I'm on the hunt still!! Someday it'll be my turn...#But I Have found some really adorable fellows for cents on the dollar haha <3 Two Blue Whales and a Sheep and Duck!! So cute#My latest find was a Lil'kinz Lioness Cub and she is - So tiny <3 Really adorably constructed with a fluffy nose ahhh ♪#The Long Eared Bunny is my current Free 'kinz! I unfortunately lost the account with Baaby so I had to start over again but that's alright#This time I've got Embroidery and she's in a closet cosplay of Edgar haha - black-and-grey striped shirt with dark pants and round glasses#And angel wings! I was able to snag those from the Ganz website and they're perfect honestly haha ♥ She won an Open Beauty Pageant with it!#Couple of her with Sugar - my first Webkinz I got to play with since Diamond's tag was thrown away :') Sugar's my oldest 'kinz <3#And of her with smol's Free 'kinz since I convinced her to play with me off and on haha - her Leonberger named Borgus :D#And then one final one of what I'd really like - a Webkinz Spider ;;♥ I /know/ they've made spider objects that are really cute!#And April Fools' fake pets of a spider!! Give me the fluffy spider please Ganz even if there's no plushie I just need to pet the spider

Regularly frustrated by the fact that most of my fixations aren't mainstream enough to have much in the way of official merch, but for the sake of both my sanity and my wallet, that's probably a good thing
#GG ironically is probably the biggest#but a lot of it (or at least the characters I like) is still either really old and hard to find or requires a shitton of import fees#got into a bit of a rabbit hole of videos abt what smash bros characters have figures/plushies#baffling to see that Little Mac hasn't really had much of anything at all since the 80's#and those were of dubious quality anyway...#ARMS basically never got anything in general#katamari was pretty much always niche Japanese stuff aside from like two things that got released with the reroll series#I think psychonauts got a little pool of stuff from fangamer but that's still mostly art iirc#frontier is the black sheep of digimon so there's like nothing for that either#I suppose bugsnax had a little despite being an indie game#shoutout to my big sister for buying me the Filbo doll as a christmas present#sly's got zilch aside from the really limited funko afaik#I suppose my main vice is pokemon#no shortage there#but my favorite pokemon is fucking trubbish so we're not on the level of pikachu here#(yes I own the sitting cutie trubbish and he's my special little boy)#hmm.#street fighter is a pretty big series isn't it?#somehow I haven't looked much into its merch#outside of trying to find the little standee figure they made for bosch#perhaps I will regret it#christ even my favorite disney movie is the one that never gets any merch of it#I'm not sure if I'm very lucky or incredibly unlucky#op back on her bullshit

Yes, we hung them on the fridge too.
#this appeals to the 13 year old oc making girl who still lives inside me forever#“my mikusona is a Sailor Moon space loving writer who is also part sheep but she has a black hole in her chest to represent darkness#cuz she loves horror but also space and sheep#we have fun here#mikusona#Miku#hatsune miku
