#abt something that hypothetically MIGHT happen in the future that i might not even see lmao

[thebendsbyradiohead]

ugh so my friend has been struggling to find the right ADHD meds for him bc they either interact with his anxiety or SAD & give him disrupting side effects after taking them which i sympathize with bc he's been in this transitional period between graduating/finding an internship to graduate/start his career & it's not easy navigating all of that with unmedicated adhd

however, bc of this he started going down these rabbitholes of researching all kinds of psychiatric meds that might work for him to suggest to his doctor but on the flip side, he keeps asking me when i'm stopping my antidepressants, did i know i can build tolerance to them, do i still feel good on them etc & even tho i've reiterated that i still feel good on them & my doctors check in with me periodically he literally just sent me ANOTHER youtube video about "the dangers of building up anti-depressant tolerance" & now i'm actually pissed off

a) i literally just passed the 6 month mark of starting (the lowest dose of) my anti-depressants, considering they take 2 months to properly work idk if i'd even have the time to build up tolerance by now, b) i have a medical team of 3 professionals that follow my progress & my gp took my BP & asked me if i've seen my therapist since + scheduled my 1 year check in during an appointment for an unrelated issue (this is important bc dutch doctors charge by minute & u have to make separate appointments for every little thing) and c) i myself am a trained psychologist & would be able assess if my symptoms were coming back

i appreciate his concern for me & i understand he's frustrated that he's unable to find meds that work for him but christ alive don't project that shit on me just because i got lucky & my meds work. not to mention one of the massive reasons i started taking my meds was bc the intrusive thoughts about my health were so intense i was going into hysterics on the daily so i really don't need someone second guessing the effectiveness of the medicine that saved my life rn lol

[cozymochi]

gonna dig up a toxic habit to kinda talk about a post i woke up to see on my dash that has me kinda side eyeing for a sec. And i don’t rly appreciate how the OP of said post unintentionally frames the artists as being in the wrong for wanting to get rid of their work because “b-but but think abt how others feel ☹️☹️ what about them i promise someone else likes it” “how are u not distressed etc etc” “Thats ur [insert simile here] how could u do that dont these artists think about how i feel”

homie, it’s not like artists dont think about that but maybe JUST MAYBE i value how I feel about my past work more now that actually exist than the hypothetical feelings of someone I don’t even know. Call me freaking callous I guess but gaaahhh something about the wording got me so miffed at 7 am. Im solely only speaking for myself cuz it struck a nerve. And that nerve has been strongly debating wiping certain stuff away for a while.

Like yeah, sure, i’ve also been in the position as the consumer who gets bummed if an OP purges their stuff but it happens. If i find something new only to learn OP is gone it happens!! Im bummed but it hAPPENS. If me an artist wants my stuff gone be it for some personal matter, lack of interest, or some such other thing then I shouldn’t have be seen as some awful unfeeling person because of that. It’s not like I know why they the hypothetical artist got rid of their stuff, and as much as I’d like to know why it’s not my business to know. And it’s the same vice versa. Or hey if i wanna be as melodramatic as OP i shouldn’t even call myself a person then, i’m just a content machine and god forbid the machine get sentience. I see this all the time from people even IF an artist announces they’re gonna purge their stuff and it’s so. Frustrating. It’s stressful enough posting so imagine the pressure of feeling like i HAVE to keep all of my work up regardless of how i feel about it personally because some subset of hypothetical people i dont know who MIGHT see it in the future would be upset if i did it.

Why do OTHER people have to dictate whether or not I can remove my work? Why do i have to consider every freaking hypothetical in the world first before my own feelings at present that are very very real. Even if my feelings shift somewhat purging isn’t exactly a light decision and i dont imagine it is for other folk like me.

As soon as something is posted that thing is already forever out of my control, and if me getting rid of art i no longer want strongly attached to me gives me some level of control back then i’m gonna take it. As futile as it is in the grand scheme.

To reiterate what i said first, im SURE this message was not intended by the OP (obviously it speaks mostly to a specific group of consumers) and if i can hazard a guess— probably written in a state of emotional stress but holy shit. The fact sooo many people are just…in silent agreement just speaks volumes to me

you can’t win anywhere, huh

[jimin-of-mine]

Hypothetical situation here,

What if in the nxt 10 years jk and jimin find their people, settle down , get married and have kids and you guys haven't met yet. Isn't it a better choice to move on and continue with your life because I read in one of your asks that you will be loyal to them no matter what. I'm not trying to be unkind but I'm just genuinely worried about you , thinking of the emotional toll it might have on you if you intuitions by chance aren't right...

I think it's great that you believe it in the way you do but doesn't it scare you because there's a slight chance they might not feel it like you do. Because beleive me when I say that I had the same feeling abt a guy , I even guessed what his name was , which had to be the worst part because he doesn't see that way neither did he ever feel anything close to this

My intuition has never been wrong regarding Jimin and yes I have said I will remain loyal to them no matter what, but that is because of my unconditional love for them.

Jungkook is the only one I can't speak for, since he's been feeling farther away as of late- but that's only due to how his choices and decisions are leading him down another path and I have come to terms with that.

Jimin still remains though and our twin flame connection is the strongest it's ever been.

I am sorry to hear that such a thing has happened to you, but that doesn't mean you need to try and come to my blog and project your own experiences onto me.

Jimin won't get with anyone else- whether that be in a platonic manner or not and this is something I know.

You are free to believe me or not, but Jimin has never let me down in literally any sense and I will only do the same for him back in return.

Telling me to do these things, only tells me that you have never experienced something like a twin flame connection and I am deeply sympathetic towards you.

It's the most fulfilling and rewarding connection out there and there is no life for me without my other halves.

I hope that you can open your heart to future relationships of your own, so that you won't miss the golden opportunity of crossing paths with such a person whom belongs to you in such a profound and meangful way.

Coming home to yourself is the most thrilling amd incredible kind of experience after all ❤

[ajokeformur-ray]

hi! not the same anon as before, but now i'm curious :o Would you ever get in a committed relationship with another ace person? or nah? (hope this question doesn't come off as weird lol, feel free not to answer either way! And you right abt too-low ace rep in popular media. until i got on tumblr, i didn't even know abt it! had to ask my friend what "Ace" meant lol) <3 !

Hiiiii ~ nonnie!🥰🥰🥰

The short answer is no. I’m aromantic as well as asexual, so I don’t experience romantic or sexual attraction (as previously stated, this is not the case in fiction. There are, again, some fictional characters I would happily be in a committed relationship with, but if they became real then I wouldn’t feel any attraction at all).

I’ve been in relationships before and even if I felt affection for them prior to dating, as soon as it became official, I slowly began to feel trapped and resented them and the relationship. I was very unfair to those people in my past, and not to excuse my past actions but I didn’t know any better back then, I was just a teenager who thought she was broken and needed to fix herself by forcing herself to do things she didn’t want and wasn’t comfortable doing.

I just have no interest at all in relationships, sex, marriage etc. I’m happier now with this truth than I was as an eighteen year old, though of course sexuality is fluid and what’s true for me now might not be in the future (shout out to @meandmanonthemoon for his tender guidance in this matter! I appreciate you so much🥺❤️).

I’ve had… friendships in the past which have been borderline romantic but nothing happened because I enjoyed the dynamic as it was. I think that’s called a queerplatonic relationship, or something similar. I like the idea of that. But again, would I like it in reality? Who knows. At this stage, I’m not prepared or wanting any kind of emotional entanglement. I have too much going on in my life and I don’t have the time or the energy to find out if it would work out in reality, and it’d be highly unfair of me towards the hypothetical person to start something I wouldn’t be prepared to see through. I have a tendency to run hot and cold in real life friendships, relationships etc. Which is why I haven’t willingly had any irl friends since I was eighteen. I’m just not all that interested. Maybe I’ve just been surrounded by the wrong people, idk. I’ve been focusing on me and my life for the last seven years and I love it that way.🥰💗

Hhhhh your question isn’t weird at all! My sexuality does confuse me sometimes so I appreciate being able to puzzle it out like this.

The amount of times there’s been an ace person in the media but they’ve been portrayed as a robot or someone cold and unfeeling is ridiculous and it always makes me feel icky. There’s a show called Slasher on Netflix and it’s so good and there was, in one of the seasons, an asexual girl who liked to have sex with her partner because it was something she was willing to do with him (valid and important rep about the nuances and fluidity of sexuality) but then she got bored and put a VR thingy on her head and he called her a robot (meant insultingly, while they were still having sex) and I 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

This got long lmfao but the short answer is no! I hope this was clearly written oml it’s important that I get the words right first time around.😂 I hope you’re safe and well, nonnie, and thank you for the question!❤️❤️❤️

[dishwater-blondie]

gfebkcejfgb i’m glad my questions weren’t bothering you! would you mind me popping in every now and again with any that come to mind in the future? idk if thats weird but i just really like the fic hfdavcfsv 🥺 i do have other questions if you wanna answer them at your leisure. what happens with ines in the future? what do you think abt her and nathalie’s almost-friendliness? do they (any of the sancouers, or even mariya for that matter) have any opinions one way or another abt the miraculous goings-on in paris? can you see nathalie and elaine ever reuniting, or would that relationship remain a missed connection? in a hypothetical world where angelika lived, how would nathalie end up in paris if at all? do you think angelika “had” to die for nathalie to have a “good” life, or do you think she would’ve found success in moscow too? do you think angelika would’ve *ever* come around to gabriel, or would she be skeptical and disapproving forever? i swear the questions i had initially weren’t this deep but now i’m thinking hard abt it gfshvsjhfs woops

By all means, pop in whenever! There's literally never a bad time to ask me.

Inès goes to school in Belgium studying economics and stays there after meeting her future spouse. As an adult, she harbors some guilt for the way she treated Nathalie and for cutting off contact with her despite knowing the abuse she was facing for the last two years she lived with Phillipe and Déborah. She actually remains estranged from most of her family for several years until having her first child, after which she comes back into regular contact with them, mostly her mother and Martîn. She sent an email to Nathalie once. Nathalie did not reply and Inès never pursued her again.

Nathalie came into her life when she was 11, and her cruelty originated mostly out of self-preservation, because Lauren switched targets from Inès to Nathalie and Inès didn't want it switching back. It wasn't until Lauren left home that she started growing out of that and calming down. By then, there was already so much resentment there on both sides that Inès couldn't bring herself to extend the olive branch completely, despite knowing her treatment of Nathalie was undeserved.

I don't see Nathalie and Elaine ever reuniting, no.

If Angelika lived, I don't think Nathalie would have ended up in Paris, at least not permanently. Her relationship with Angelika likely would have grown fraught, and she might have left to seek out her father in France as a young adult, but she would return soon enough. There's a chance that Nathalie would have still wound up in Paris if Angelika was perhaps imprisoned (something that is not entirely out of the question, because that woman has it in her to kill). If she managed to build a life for herself by the time Angelika got out, she'd stay.

Nathalie would have been successful in Moscow too. She'd have a different share of hardships, such as a fraying relationship with her mother and the responsibility of practically raising Mariya, but she is intelligent and driven enough to have made it anywhere.

If Angelika and Gabriel ever met, she'd be disapproving for a long time. I doubt the skepticism would ever fully fade. Even if she recognized his dedication to Nathalie, I think his personality would still put her off. She'd say nasty things about him in Russian while he was still in the room, and Gabriel would go demanding a translation from Nathalie who really, really wants to change the subject.

(There's a world where Angelika followed Nathalie to Paris and somehow discovered Shadow Moth's identity. And it's a juicy fucking world.)

[anxietysroomsupport]

I’m conflicted bc I’m kinda crushing but the girl I like doesn’t respond to my messages or like my posts unless I’m commenting on her stuff but I think it’s just cuz she talks to a lot of ppl & we haven’t even followed each other for a month so we barely know each other but then I’ve been sending her song lyrics anonymously & she really wants to know who it is & has posted that it makes her blush & then that she misses them but I’m not out & to reveal myself I would have to make an acc (1)+

(2)+ & I would have to make an acc for the app thing that the anonymous things are from & also she called those messages “sorta flirty” & just idk if I shld do anything bc it might change things & she’ll realize she does like me as a friend or smth & it’s just complicated bc I can kinda see myself being w her or flirting w her non-anonymously but I don’t wanna make it weird & idk if that wld mean we’d be “talking” or smth or just friends at first & I’ve been debating if I’m actually crushing+

(3) + on her but then when I read her posts saying like stuff abt being flirty and blushing & just mentioning that anonymous person it makes me feel really happy & i even had a really quick dream of her where we were just together joking around abt smth & I just I’ve been debating my orientation & I don’t want to like jump from like flirting w her to then if I realize I just wanna be friends but the whole few weeks I’ve been crushing on her kinda & it’s just weird bc I think she’s the 1st+

(4/last one) +girl I’ve liked & usually I like guys who are older than me but I can just feel smth & ik that there’s different types of attraction & that you don’t have to jump to conclusions right away but it’s just weird bc idk what’ll happen eventually & how my parents might react since it’s online & I mean I think my mom kinda knows I’m bi but we haven’t discussed it in detail & I just talked to my counselor abt it yesterday & were going to figure out my identity but it’s just a lot

Hi there anon, It looks like you’ve got a lot on your mind! I would say take a deep breath and think about things one at a time. You seem to be stressing a lot about future hypothetical events and when I’m doing that I like to take a step back and then start focusing on the here and now, the immediate future. 

First off, you are still trying to explore and figure out your orientation, that takes first priority here, it can be hard and confusing, I would suggest reaching out to people you trust in order to talk through any anxieties you might be having with this. Unfortunately, there is no easy answer when trying to figure out your identity, and no one can tell you exactly how to do it, it looks different for everyone. Looking at online LGBT resources might help. 

Next, this girl. I would recommend taking it slowly, as it sounds like you are still working out your feelings towards her. Maybe make an account on this site and ask to be her friend, talk to her, get to know her, and re-evaluate how you feel. 

Then, the online issue, meeting someone, a friend or an s/o online can be tricky, many people meet great friends or s/o’s online, and as long as you are being safe (make sure you bring a friend/trusted adult if you ever meet up with someone, and do so in a public area) it can be great, I understand how it can be hard telling parents about this but I would worry about this only if and/or when something happens with anyone online. 

I hope this helps anon, good luck :)

[uniformbravo]

ok here are some of my Actual s2 thoughts (voltron spoilers below)

so back when i first watched s1 i guess i wasn’t totally 100% into it?? i dont remember if i ever really talked abt it on here but i remember being a little confused and trying to figure out why it was so popular bc i honestly didn’t think it was that great but idk i must’ve warmed up to it at some point between then and now bc i was way more into it this time around aaaaa

i rly did like s2 better than s1 tho??? idk maybe it’s just bc it’s new so it’s the hype of new content & everything but dang overall i do feel like i enjoyed it more

i rly like the art style and especially the animation style like this is probably just me coming to this show straight from lolirock but like... while lolirock has a really appealing art style im honestly not a fan of the type of animation they use so it felt really nice to come back to like. hand-drawn stuff idk just! voltron is a v visually appealing show in all aspects god bless

everyone is still super trans wow i can’t believe every character is trans

tbh i love shiro? but it’s weird bc i actually think he’s rly boring when it comes to his “leadership” kind of characteristics but like also he suffers a lot and gets a lot of the plot-heavy development and normally i might be annoyed by that but im just...... so weak

also speakin of shiro there was a lot of shiro/keith this season and like..... ok im gonna be honest i dont rly ship them or anything like at all im not too keen on the two of them that way but this person i follow has this au where they’re brothers and imagining them that way made me enjoy their scenes like 100% more so like Good Shit (but tbh keith saying “you’re like a brother to me” or was it maybe “father” i can’t remember but either way that line killed me pls i want them to have a rly strong platonic bond i want shiro to feel rly protective of keith and i want keith to feel safer around shiro aaaaa i love it so much)

pidge starting to adopt altean terms and phrases fucking killed me dude like with the time vocabulary n shit, even the others started picking it up a little bit it’s So Fucking Good im so happy aaaaaAA

i still love keith and lance i hope they never calm down w/ each other and keep fighting forever bye (like rewatching s1 when lance is like “yOU AGAIN” and keith is like “who are u” hfhdgd gOD that was so GOOD)

a lot of the character development was rly good but tbh im a little disappointed by the lack thereof when it came to lance and hunk like ?? at this point they’re still treated like the Joke Characters for the most part, i mean lance did have his one little moment of glory in that one episode but i would really love to see like. an actual full character arc w/ him. and i know hunk did have some stuff in s1 w/ like the balmerans & shae but this season it felt like he was just kinda pushed aside and i mean the same could be said of pidge, who did have a lot of story in s1 but barely anything in s2, so maybe i’m just being a little impatient lol i mean. if u take a step back and lay it all out, s1 focused on shiro, pidge, allura, and a little bit of hunk, and then s2 focused on shiro and keith, so maybe s3 (idk if it’s even confirmed yet but like hypothetically) will focus on lance and hunk more? and probably shiro again tbh  i mean it doesn’t really feel like anything’s been set up to go into a lance or hunk arc, but at the same time there wasn’t really any setup for keith’s whole s2 thing in s1 either, so there’s still the possibility that it could all happen in s3 but like. with the way s2 went and the unanswered questions it left about keith i can see s3 being very keith-centric, not to mention all the reminders we got about pidge’s whole family issue this season, so s3 will probably focus on that a lot too idk i mean at the end of the day they are pretty short seasons, it makes sense that they can only focus on a select few characters at a time, so i feel like at this point it makes sense to just sit back and wait to see what happens, & then if hunk and lance are still kind of shoved aside w/ nary even a mere setup then wtf actually

not to keep running w/ the negativity & criticisms but honestly what i really love in a show is complex characters written realistically and w/ voltron i feel like it /almost/ delivers but not really? like, not to bring up lolirock again but that show has fairly one-dimensional characters who are written relying more on their character type than anything with a ton of depth; the protagonists are Good and the antagonists are Evil; auriana is the goofball, talia is the responsible one, iris is the main character or the “pure good” one, mephisto is the clumsy villain, praxina is the irritable villain- like it’s all just very straightforward (most of the time). i feel like voltron is a little more complex with its characters than lolirock, but in the end it still kind of sticks to the same method of characterization; it’s definitely not as cookie-cutter, but each character does have one or two characteristics that blatantly stick out and make them.... i dont know, really predictable? like you Know that every time a girl shows up lance is gonna hit on her, and every time there’s some cool technology pidge is gonna fawn over it and every time there’s food hunk is gonna say some shit about being hungry, and keith and lance argue a lot and shiro gets the team’s shit together because he’s the Leader and it’s just like basically, with voltron it feels very “telling” rather than “showing” with most things, and besides manifesting in the story it shows in the way the characters are written, too. in most situations, the characters’ reactions are written based more on those few main characteristics they’ve been given than more realistic reactions to their current situation, and maybe that’s a little confusing but i’ll try to clarify actually im sorry but i just completely lost my train of thought and i can’t get it back, it’s currently coming up on 1am and im incredibly tired right now so i’m gonna have to cut this short but like. basically, the characters in voltron kind of have their main characteristics and it’s fine to have things like that bc it helps define characters but the way the writers use them feels a lot like those hogwarts house sorting quizzes that are like “what’s your favorite animal? a) lion b) snake c) raven d) badger” like it tends to be relatively straightforward and predictable in a bad way, and a lot of that execution has to do with the storytelling style the show has overall

ok ANYWAY let’s say something more positive now: the soundtrack to this show is absolutely phenomenal tbh i remember thinking this last time too, just the general sound it has, it feels like an homage to the older series and acts as a subtle way to bring that kind of aesthetic into it and i rly like it (i mean i’ve never seen the old show so idk what kind of aesthetic it has but u know what i mean. the kind of “old video tape sound” kind of thing. u know the game oxenfree, which has a similar music aesthetic. god idk how to explain this i hope u know what i’m trying to say. i rly like voltron’s soundtrack)

like i didnt mean to go on this big rant all “here’s everything i didn’t like abt voltron what a Bad Show” bc i actually really like it a lot!! the fact that im picking it apart like this is actually a good sign that i like it bc if i dont care abt something i won’t put in the effort, u know? if i don’t like it then i won’t be all “here’s what i hope to see from this show in the future” right

anyway it’s fuckin 1am bye, i love voltron goodnight
