#and my mental problems in progress

[dxndeli-n]

Abandonment issues go brrr

[raining-its-pouring]

Five Pebbles is so funny. Shoutout to characters who learn to prioritize compassion but still have the same deep-rooted self-actualization and self-worth issues they always had. Shoutout to characters who use compassion as a bludgeon to hurt themselves with under the guise of self-sacrifice. Shoutout to the guilt that drives one to heap blame upon themself until they feel the only way to atone is through punishment. That’s just as much about inflicting misery upon yourself as it is about helping the person you hurt. Get therapy king.

The torture might just keep him hard, in which case, great. I’ve always wanted to read about HL’s cock coming like an intermittent sprinkler, every 30-60 seconds for hours on end. Just keep him hydrated.

Lol that's just a dumb smutty outtake from my Homewell verse where she's responsible for teaching him about normal human stuff, and he's using it as an excuse to ask her to fuck (for purely educational reasons, of course!), but he never lasts more than a hot ten seconds, so she's like, we really have to practice this self-restraint thing, don't we. Title is exactly what it says (link nsfw); don't ask me where she gets the courage to do this, I'm just the chronicler of events here.

Thinking about possible fanfic/au idea, where Paper after the end of second season decides to leave Hotel for a while to develop his own self-identity outside of his life with OJ, and OJ, living without Paper for the first time in almost a decade, realises how codependent with him he actually became and how much of his mental state were tied to Paper being by his side. Both of them learn to live without one another and find their own separated support systems and when Paper eventually comes back (because, still, all of his friends live here, duh) we're both self-sufficient but still appreaciate each other's positive traits and now are able to form functioning healthy relationships...

Yeah I think about them a lot

[vaguely-concerned]

my capacity to see a bad fandom take and just blithely say 'okay! I disagree' internally and move on because it's not my responsibility or concern that someone else thinks that has leveled up so tremendously over the years. I haven't quite escaped the pit of misery yet but I think I'm getting there

It seems to me like there's such a fine line to walk on this site when discussing recovery as a mentally ill and/or chronically ill person.

I think we're mostly past the "OK Karen, we can't all be neurotypical" kneejerk response to any mention that our own behavior and environment can impact our internal state. But it goes far beyond that.

I just want to say that for most of us: our minds and bodies can heal and grow in new directions. They may not be what we've been told it needs to look like, but we are capable of change.

For me, personally: I do have a connective tissue disorder and some weird autoimmune stuff, and that does still impact me daily. but some of the symptoms I attributed to it came down to prolonged and severe mental distress.

When things got worse, my circle and what I found on here led me to feeling like maybe it was hopeless--maybe that's just the degenerative, always getting worse, experience of having these disorders. That was not true for me personally.

And I am not sure how to talk about that. I don't think I'd have wanted to hear it when I was allergic to my own sweat, couldn't sleep more than 4-5 hrs a night, and in constant hyperaware pain. It would have felt dismissive of the very real things I was experiencing.

Starting to feel like the hospitalization that my friends offered wasn’t such a bad idea.

[toxooz]

I know the answer might be no but still!

Are you ever going to make or add your characters into character ai?

I think it'll be really cool to be able to talk to Ollie, or just talk to the whole gang!!

Also lots of love to your art and comic, I found this comic when I was at my lowest and it really helped me out when I was really sad in depressed! Thank you for making this comic and for doing all of this amazing work that you have put in to your characters and storyline!!!

look 🙏 i do see the possible appeal in that i aint gunna lie one bit and as the creator of these characters the idea of being able to seemingly talk to them sounds pretty cool! BUT i simply cant jump on the AI train to Any extent it just wouldn't sit right with me. I feel like it would unnerve me after a while plus the idea of my OCs being 'off' or having out of character dialogue that's out of my control kinda gives me the willies. It seems like one of those things that are simply too good to be true in a practical sense so any possibility of it happening just goes into uncanny valley like do i wish i could take my ocs out of my brain and talk to them HELL yes ( if i dont get killed first) but that should be an impossible thing to do unless im dreaming or hallucinating or some shit. It's like the AI images ie. i Could just type in a bunch of prompts and shit out like 30000 images of my ocs so that i could look at them but where would the yearning be after that??? The loving sculpting of them in my brain while im trying to capture their essence with my hands into a drawing??? One of the main reasons for my ocs to exist is so that its something for my brain to toy around with and wallow in like a cat in catnip, so the idea of being able to just 'lay everything out' so easily just ruins the whole ' i have mysterious little dudes in my head that i mold around everyday to try and figure them out' aspect if that makes any sense??? PLUS im pretty sure the chat ai basically takes paragraphs from writers so for me to be so abhorrently against ai images yet being on board with chat ai when its ~surprise~ stealing from real writers feels like the most hypocritical ass shit i could do sO long old head 'robots evil' rant short: its a no from me dawg

BUT THAT ASIDE im glad to hear u like wheel bitten!! That means so much to hear and may your life continue to improve and thrive!✨🌟

I know I've promised to share the Naruto meta analyzing key aspects of the series through several academic lenses that I've been writing, and I have shared the rough draft of the introduction. I'm posting this to let anyone who's been waiting for it know that I'm going to have to take an indefinite hiatus. I need to focus on my health, which has rapidly been declining, with no answers. All of the tests and specialists I've been through; MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, bloodwork (a LOT of bloodwork), urine testing, everything. I've been to a rheumatologist, a neurologist, a gastro surgeon; hell, the emergency room several times. I was fired from a job I really liked because I was missing too many days due to health issues. I had to withdraw from college due to my health. Everything is coming back normal, but my health worsening is NOT normal. I can barely even get out of bed without throwing up or needing to almost immediately lay back down because my heart feels like it's going to explode, so naturally, writing has not been my highest priority; hopefully you can understand.

At least I'm not so preoccupied with being terrified about death. But maybe that is just a new problem

[whentherewerebicycles]

maybe my new year's resolution will be Getting Evaluated (< won't bc doctors and i have beef)

[moe-broey]

Like something that Feels adjacent is the way it took me FOREVER. FOR FUCKING EVER. To Finally bite the bullet and finish Awakening, when I first played it. I just did anything else before finally confronting Grima. I still haven't beaten Engage. I can't bear to. ESPECIALLY after recruiting Veyle, actually (AND THE. SPOILERY STUFF. THE MAJOR THINGS THAT HAPPEN ONCE VEYLE IS WITH YOU). I cannot fucking bring myself to progress, now. Fates somehow found a loophole where I had to just trudge through three routes on spite alone and when it was over I was MORE THAN READY to beat some ancient dragon ass but like. Fates is the exception and not the rule, here. Three Houses does not count despite me never finishing that one either but I love you forever Edelgard. If I EVER return to Three Houses I think I'd just finish Crimson Flower and call it a day. Unfortunately I just never gelled w the game mechanics and limited/very restrictive character options in Three Houses. Going back to Fates if I had the choice to stay with Conquest Takumi in the beautiful dead realm I would have. In a heartbeat. Or not really? Because I'd be dead. But it's Fine.
