was reading one of the posts @crierofcarcosa made abt og noel and charlie and it got me thinking, charlie was around when the first all quiet on the western front movie came out. the book too. i wonder what he wouldve thought about it. if he wouldve been able to bring himself to see it in the first place, if he wouldve walked out halfway thru because the memories were too much to bear, if he wouldve avoided it all together. hes never seen it through, no matter if he tried or not.
#im a big fan of the og all quiet movie my heart stopped for a sec remembering when it came out#+ with malevolent being my main interest i was bound to crossover them eventually#i wish we got more info on noel in the war#though given his main coping mechanism as of yet is to compartmentalize and move on it makes sense why we didnt#lowk giving me fic idea tho#idk guys ive just been thinking#malevolent#malevolent podcast#noel finley#charlie dowd#noel malevolent#charlie malevolent

Yeag...
#boniji#bocchi x nijika#hitori x nijika#am I allowed to be cringe over a rare ship on tumblr dot com in the dwindling months of 2023?#like I didn't expect this pairing to become my recent comfort ship in these trying times#one time I got curious and decided to read some fanfics back in February (?) It didn't click to me yet. I just think it's cute and moved on#but months later it came back to me full force in July and the next thing I know I went into a gay trance (just like Bocchi in ep10)#and starts searching for fanarts and obsessing over them#this ship is seriously my coping mechanism during a stressful time#sometimes a ship is what keeps a fixation (sanity) going#gathering the crumbs from both anime & manga 'Mmm...scrumptious~ 🤤😋'#episode 8 my beloved 👐💕#fr what's with me and rare pairs. I'm not that even big of a shipper#but this is actually my first time where the tag of the ship (on tumblr) is basically inactive#or only sometimes gets tagged when other ships are involved 😭#like I know there are some great art in the tags but it's just...not enough#it's tough to fixate on smth that's barely have any content for it#well there's one way to fix that... ◉‿◉#I'm about to be annoying on the tag of this ship#I was gonna tag the main tag but I chickened out. I'll just stay in my niche corner brainrotting over a rarepair 🤐�� however...#btr#<- using this obscure tag instead lol#my ramblings

Man it is a bold choice for the second game to just pepper in little asides that oh yeah btw Edgeworth's fucking dead. Yeah no he died off screen between games. No, you don't get to know how. Phoenix is too fucked up about it to tell you anything
#like I know he's not really dead bc I have heard rumors about future cases where he's present#but if I were playing this game when it came out? without spoilers?#I would be RIOTING#also lmao 'Please don't say that name in front of me ever again'#bro you are Fucked Up#and not beating the griddlehark similarities allegations#yes harrow very literally redated Gideon's name from her memory#but I think if Harrow had died before Gideon she would also be like 'hey yeah never mention that name again'#'bitch went and got herself killed with her stupid pride. she's gone. don't mention her again. bye.'#this is a healthy coping mechanism (not)

there's something that just rlly fucking sucks about burnout. like? i'm not even doing much. 5 hours of class a week where i sit down at an easel and draw. then i have an assignment over the weekend that's less than 2 hours long. and i'm still exhausted. i can't draw like i usually do because my imagination + ability to craft compositions is used up. it really makes me wonder if i'll ever get anywhere in life, if this is what gets me down
anyway. i have a bit of a buffer of posts but after that idk how long it'll be. just an fyi
#rambles#sorry to vent on main. might delete this later#an art degree is most definitely unattainable if i can't handle a beginner's drawing class#i like to draw and i'm good at it. but somehow it still wipes me out#yesterday it rlly came to a head when i set up my easel and just. could NOT. make myself draw#art burnout is probably the worst cuz it turns one of my best coping mechanisms into a stressor#actually autistic#<- sorry guys lol

hi fellow neurodivergent people
i hate to jump on the "i think i might have adhd" bandwagon, but if i think i might have adhd, how do i bring it up to my care team as a 28-year-old cis woman who was a massive overachiever until i couldn't keep up the ruse anymore?
#idk what happened when i got laid off it seriously is like my brain BROKE i cannot do anything#i have not done much of anything in a year. and i think it's bc my coping mechanisms were 1. self-medicate but ESPECIALLY do that while#2. overcommitting. because it kept me busy and distracted. i excelled in school because i could focus on it without it giving me anxiety#school was honestly almost the only thing that didn't give me anxiety as a kid. and i never felt quite Right like i didn't feel like i fit#in with my peers. i've always felt like a human being that isn't a person. like something's not quite right. i excel but i feel like i'm#doing it wrong because it's SO hard for me. i graduated my BA and BS programs with a 4.0#but it came with the cost of alienating all of my friends and family and becoming really reclusive and weird and distant and anxious#but i really just wanted to do well at the one thing i felt i was good at. which doesn't seem like something i should take note of#idk. my life feels like a claustrophobic box. i feel like i'm buried alive and i can't get myself out because i can't work#because i can't focus. but maybe i'm just stupid and lazy and want everyone to take care of me forever so i can continue laying around doin#fuck all. which i do a lot because i'm chronically ill. idk. like is there ground to stand on here. i literally have zero friends rn#and i feel so so so sos so anxious any time i am working because i worry i'm going to do something wrong or forget to do something or make#lots of mistakes that get me in trouble. i'm so scared of making mistakes it keeps me from doing anything at all. but i get so anxious bc#i'm not doing anything! i'm wasting time! and i can't focus on anything when i AM working because i have to get up and pace#like i HAVE to move around or i start to feel like i need to peel my skin off like i'm an orange#like. is it anything at all. or is this just me being someone who has Other Stuff going on

Of those who went to Playful Land, Vil came out of it with a surprising aversion to all things puppets. And a constant Urge to scratch at the right side of his face, fearful of feeling wood rooted in there rather than human skin. Even months afterward, he'd still feel a certain ick when dealing with anything related to puppets and will have a blatantly obvious fear response to finding even stray sticks in his hair.
He wasn't really able to stomach having ribbons on his wrists or even wearing harnesses for commercial or modeling gigs he did that year for a bit either. He'd tossed the clothes from Playful Land in the back of the Film club's costume shed, as he didn't want them to go to waste even still. He'd even asked the other's willing to give theirs up to store them in there too. He doesn't think he would be able to use them for anything, though, as just the idea of wearing that ensemble again is Abhorrent to him. Even the mere thought of Epel try one on left him feeling nauseous.
#hc; vil#//Couldn't sleep alone for a bit. Stayed w Rook bc if he woke up in a Panic; Rook would be THE ideal person to calm him & not judge or pry#//Ace and Jack in particular also left with a bad impression of the place; even if grudgingly admitting Some of it was fun#//Not that they'd Ever want to go through all THAT again; they both swore on it & to Never let the other Freshies get such ideas either#//Both also 100% had their fair share of scolding from actually scratching at their faces where the masks were rooted in#hc; ace (twst)#hc; jack (twst)#//Kalim thought it was fun; tho he did feel a familiar numbness over it for weeks after; the same way he usually did after being kidnapped#//Naturally; he didn't tell Jamil or anybody else that; bc to him it was another experience he had to suck up and bear like always#hc; kalim#//Floyd and Jade both were more amused by the peril they experienced; and even told Azul in great detail how they actually fretted over#never seeing him again; had Fellow been successful in turning them all into puppets and selling them off to the highest bidder#//They have no idea why Azul of all people got more stressed about that than they were#hc; jade (twst)#hc; floyd#//Ortho came out of it adding Fellow's personality & motivations to his database and learning to be more conniving out of it; so he's chill#//Though now he Also knows a great deal about experiencing 'fear' than he ever had before. It's just puzzling!#hc; ortho#//Leo; like Vil; ended up utterly unable to think back to his time at Playful Land as fun; considering Everything#//And likewise does also scratch at his face a little on occasion; tends to dig his claws into his skin more though#//As if he's actively feeling for any remnants of wood to be buried deep in there; and to ground himself that there aren't#//For him in particular; he got terrible episodes of sleep paralysis for weeks after; forced back into the feeling of his body stiffening#//He of course fronts everything is okay; but he Hates the feeling that he actually wound up more affected by it than he'd care to admit#//Esp considering Jack was in danger--that's the part that GOT to Leona the most. Even kept a careful eye on the lad more afterward too#hc; leona#//Lils brushed it off like nothing; considering his life experiences. More than anything; he felt guilty in not being able to DO much to#prevent the youngins from being taken or frightened by the experience; since he'd gotten captured so early on#//He did try to check in on everyone after with the subtlety of a freight train; but didn't exactly Pry further when refused#//Not like he has any better coping mechanisms than the others do; he'd take their words of handling things themselves as truth#hc; lilia

unfortunately for everyone involved im hitting the exact right combination of summer melancholy + extreme mental illness spiral + late july/august + insomnia that makes me rewatch shadowhunters. sorry in advance
#it was the only thing that got me thru 2017 i always associate it with the second half of summer specifically..#i started watching it in march but s2b was coming out in july/august so that's why those stuck#im doing so badly. lol#i think everything just kinda came together coupled not leaving my room for anything other than my daily walk for#1.5 months and counting but oh my god. hello#im spiraling into shit i havent had to deal with in like years can i LEAVE. I THOUGHT WE WERE OVER THIS#it's not paranoia if im literally right 🙏 this is fine. it's fine <3#it's literally FINE if i repress everything far enough it wont bother me. im sure using that as#a coping mechanism for my entire life hasn't lead to an insane backlog of horrible shit that im gonna have to deal with at some point.#at least my brain helpfully doesn't let me remember 90% of my life so ion have to worry about all that. yay♥#guys it's direeeee tv show save me. i cant even work or go riding coz the weather is so hot i constantly feel ill#MAN whatever it's fine. at least i dont have scurvy i guess#barking

the constant emphasis on the can of alcohol though… it’s like it’s telling us that yuko’s too deep in her vices/self-indulgence that she’s completely oblivious to how much her younger son loves and cares for her…
#in other words… maybe shibasaki yuko was *the* yoidore shirazu after all—#though come to think of it… the lxl movie only ever showed us the worst interactions between aizo and yuko. so.#maybe she’s a better mother when she’s sober off-screen or something? idk. it doesn’t absolve her of all her misdeeds but. still.#lowkey feel bad for her though. bad divorce coping mechanisms really do change you for the worse… maybe.#especially when you’re not the main one at fault for the divorce… but still. taking it out on your kids is going way too far.#the cans kind of gave me flashbacks to my own yuko-esque parent though… sigh. time to never listen to hahaoyatte ever again#i have many thoughts on it but. yeah. no. i get the feeling that i’ll venture too far into projecting territory if i continue lol#but ngl i absolutely love how neither of the brothers bother to try to redeem shibasaki dad lmfaoooo i hope he’s rotting offscreen or sth#anyways. that’s all from me. next time you see me i’ll be with my kawaikute gomen manga bc it finally came in ayayaayayayayayayayyayayayyyyy

I dunno, I kind of want Season 3 to have skipped over a bunch of stuff so we can start with Aziraphale in heaven, plotting to overthrow all of it from the Metatron down, stop the second coming, and move back to earth as soon as possible. He's assembled a secret army made up of a bunch of other like-minded demons and angels, who, he has discovered also just want to have niche hobbies and play at the boundaries of humanity. They only needed to be slightly tempted into it and now they all have their own little human obsessions and have promised that when they go to earth, they'll only be working the smallest of miracles and curses which Aziraphale is quite confident will inevitably all just cancel each other out.
Crowley's mostly worked out his Point, and has begrudgingly made friends, some drinking buddies that he can rile up and call names and it's not quite the same as having Aziraphale around but he's no longer passively suicidal all the bloody time. He probably coaches a junior football team, or volunteers at an animal rescue a day or two each week, and runs multiple twitter accounts stirring shit up online. He's got a job, one he takes quite a lot of pride in, running the Alnwick Garden where the collection of poisonous plants has tripled during his tenure and the number of humans passing out has only doubled. There has also been a remarkable increase in the number of both meet-cutes and divorces occurring within the gardens that the Times once tried to report on but the journalist and all her notes disappeared before going to print. Crowley organises small expeditions to the unexplored corners of the world, always able to find some underground cavern or lush rainforest or barren desert that somehow all of humanity has missed. And within them, new plants for him to catalogue and, on occasion, vaguely eldritch, albeit thumb sized, new beasts.
So by the time we see them coming back together, they've done their personal growth and we can see that and, importantly, they can see that, and so all that's left to do is communicate with each other properly, which will likely be screaming for about twenty minutes, making out for about another fifteen, and then a lazy hour of quiet apologies, confessions, and secrets. Then they stop the second coming (while holding hands, and kissing, and flirting and beaming) and live happily ever after.
#good omens 2 spoilers#good omens headcanon#good omens 2#ineffible husbands#evidently i am still being too lazy to actually work out the personal growth parts#because like just go and get therapists you guys#its a lot because its 6000 years and your complicated multi-dimensional beings#but also its not that hard to just go and do some growing#it would actually be delicious if crowley worked out how to handle his anger issues#and aziraphale came back angrier than him#and crowley tried to teach him some coping mechanisms mid fight#and that just made Aziraphale more angry#they all work it out in the end

Bought Tetris on Steam about 12 hours ago. Apparently I then played it for 10 of those hours. I am the calmest I've been in weeks.
#went to urgent care yesterday#for gi issues#everything came back normal#doctor thinks it's my anxiety#and I don't disagree totally#so I checked out Tetris as a coping mechanism#had to take a break because of hand cramps#might have to switch to a controller or something
