Funny how Doechii gets left out of most conversations about the Grammies despite winning one of the major categories… Funny how when people claim they’re just dedicating their attention to queer artists she still doesn’t get mentioned despite openly and blatantly stating that she’s bisexual and loves women… Funny how *I am immediately shot by a white queer tumblr user with suppressed anti-black sentiments as they sob into an open mic about how it’s totally not because Doechii’s a black woman and she actually just hasn’t accomplished as much as her other peers this year… somehow*
#I know we’ve all talked about this but. fuck you I will never stop talking about doechii#im so sorry my queen I will lead them back to the right path#doechii#grammys#chappell roan#billie eilish#sabrina carpenter#<- tagging them because their fans all need to see more posts like this. sorry gang call it exposure therapy

Good news everyone, someone dutifully uploaded the entire TJLC Explained catalog to the Internet Archive back in 2021, including those now blocked on YouTube!
#rebs blogging#literally thank you from the bottom to my heart whoever did that that's a weight off#wish I had known about this sooner but#going to update my table of contents post and then hopefully never think about it ever again#or you know start trying to exposure therapy myself at some point but that doesnt sound very fun now does it

Stabby stabby time 😌✨
(Original meme audio source can be found via this YouTube video!!)
#once again I’m so bad at putting silly short meme stuff onto my main channel without thinking it’s gonna humiliate me HELP 🥲#l’ll get over it this is my exposure therapy hour#it doesn’t help that I told classmates in college about my YouTube channel and didn’t think about how that would fuck with my anxiety lol#like ‘OH NO WHY DID I DO THAT THEY’LL KNOW I’M CRINGE AND WEIRD NOW’#listen if people can’t tolerate you at your cringiest and you feel like you need to mask around them 24/7 then it’s not worth#you gotta be your authentic self and enjoy your interests regardless of how people view it#trying to people please the masses is only going to wear you out and make you feel disconnected from yourself#‘fuck it we ball’ mentality saves lives tbh#….I don’t know I’m still trying to pep talk myself into it being socially acceptable to post sillies :’)#for now this will be a Tumblr exclusive until I stop being a baby about it✨#(also wouldn’t it be funny if my channel has a running joke of everyone not knowing what Puzzles age is? Just a thought)#(first Meggy asks him about it and now I’m asking too)#(no wonder the guy pulled out a knife people won’t shut up about his age lmfao)#mr puzzles smg4 meme#mr puzzles animated#smg4 girl how old are you I’m getting nervous meme#girl how old are you I’m getting nervous mr puzzles meme#hplonesome art

Lee with baby. Pregnant Lee . That’s all thank you

He is s t r e s s i n g Gaara o u t
I personally hc Gaara as the one more likely to physically carry a pregnancy for many reasons but mainly because Lee would be unable to hold back on training and heavy lifting and put poor gaara (and probably midwife sakura) into a constant state of anxiety
#autumns disaster art#gaalee#leegaa#fanart#fan art#ask#gaara x rock lee#gaara#rock lee#mpreg#did you know op(me) is scared of and grossed out by pregnancy in most contexts#this is exposure therapy lol#I usually hc gaara as afab#but tboy lee is underrated methinks#cw pregnancy

What if after crawling out of the harbor Kaz made sure he knew how to swim, and how to swim with extra weight, because he didn't ever want to rely on someone or something else if he ended up in the water again.
It's one of the things that started the rumors that Dirtyhands wasn't human. Fisherman would see him walk out to the docks in the dead of winter, fully clothed in his coat and all, and then dive into the water, no matter how rough it was. They all assumed that he was dead, because no one ever saw him get out of the water, yet he was always back the next day.
They assumed that he would stop when he broke his leg and started using a cane. But he didn't. They watched the scrawny kid, cloaked in mercher black clothes and a heavy wool coat, limp down the dock, take a deep breath, and jump in the water again.
At some point someone suggested he might be a tidemaker, but no one ever saw him control any water. He'd just dive in. And it's widely known that he wouldn't have made it this far in life if he was using tidemaker powers visibly. So they all just assumed that Kaz Brekker was a non-human entity incapable of dying.
#my headcanons#six of crows headcanons#six of crows#kaz brekker#kazzle dazzle#let me clarify#this doesn't mean that he doesn't have panic attacks when he gets in the water#actually they're probably worse than they would be if he hadn't done this#but he views them as weakness#and taught himself how to at the least keep his head above water with them#because you can't tell me that Kaz Brekker wouldn't be the type of person to force himself to push off a panic attack until he was alone#and there were in fact plenty of times#especially in the beginning#where someone saw a kid flailing in the water and had to pull him out before he drowned#he simply threatened them into not talking about it#idk#i just know nothing about this man is healthy#lets give him another bad coping mechanism:#forced exposure therapy

I used to avoid watching wreck it Ralph bc turbo would make me feel new emotions that I couldn’t/refused to process
you and me brother... that's how i was for 7 years and then I let the floodgates open
> Hyperfixation trance state
> Wake up 9 months later in a parking lot
> I'm in a tracksuit covered in dirt and grass stains
> Strong urge to check my computer
> 2-hour video on my hard drive

#txt#wir#turbo#ijm kind of always in a trance state though#ok but in all seriousness i did have a 1-2 week long period of me trying to exposure therapy myself into not being scared of turbo anymore#in October 2023#which was actually quite difficult and he would show up in intrusive thoughts#but then after that I started drawing him (because I did always like him) and then got a disgusting little crush on him#because when you're an ace kid#instead of openly developing crushes you just repress so it becomes uncomfortable and scary 😏because you don't understand#and then those feelings actually stay WITH you until you're an adult. and then you have to work through this really silly trivial thing tha#could end up in an explosion of repressed feelings and emotions that manifest as I NEEED HIM I NEED TO DESTROY HIM I WANT HIM DEAD I HATE H#I also did a shit ton of “”research“” (it was me obsessively crawling tumblr for fanart but it actually was research)#and then I was like. I need to make a video on this guy. I need people to fucking KNOW. MY INSANITY#Obsession is a great motivator#Anyways your ask was very relatable. Everyone has their Turbo awakening

okay i don't know if the hyperfixation will hold long enough for me to actually write this but au where everything is the same but the waylon house is just a bit more structurally sound. max doesn't die and is like 'thanks for this guys, is that the whole party or?' and everyone just sort of looks at each other like. well we don't want to anger him so what can we say but yes. and so the nerds and max end up hanging out for a night in the waylon house and the worst thing that happens is grace chastity is tempted to have a beer for the first time (she doesn't though. but with max offering it's very hard for her to refuse. or focus lol) max keeps giving them weird backhanded compliments like 'wow you guys are way cooler than you look, how'd that happen' which is not the best but it's way better than being beat up for daring to be in his line of sight, so they'll take it.
so they all hang out for the night, max is like weirdly chill and friendly, eventually he leaves and they're left standing outside the waylon house like. ?? what the fuck??? did we just befriend max jagerman???? the nerds are still apprehensive considering pete still has a black eye, grace is still boiling with religious zeal and repressed lust, and steph still doesn't really like him, but they can't help but remember how he said that trying to prank him was the nicest thing someone's ever done for him. and that just can't be true, considering he's literally the star quarterback and the main character of hatchetfield high, but.... the fact that he felt like it enough says a lot, doesn't it?
so they decide to leave the prank footage to gather dust and figure this was probably the best outcome they could have hoped for. who knows what they'll walk into at school tomorrow? maybe max will become a friend.
#and he does :)#nerdy prudes must die#npmd spoilers#npmd#i just. the brainworms. they're in me#if anything it would just be a oneshot i'm not trying to rewrite the show or anything#but like yeah max joins the friend group :)#do you ever think about how genuinely touched he was that they basically made him his own haunted house?#that shit was exposure therapy and they didn't even know it#and like dear god 'this is the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me'??? lines to go crazy about forever!!!!#bc like he's popular he's a star everyone knows him but no one's nice to him? do we know anything about his family?#and like obviously he's an asshole so like yeah why would people be nice to him if he's such a dick#but like.... consider this: babygirl#he was really endearing in that minute between being pranked and dying ok?#he was like a totally different person the minute the social pressure was gone#ok ok enough tag rambling. if enough people want this i will actually write it#*speaks

Event Horizon AU but instead of grabbing the child.
Imagine, if you will, for maximum angst and found family (the angst is mostly just ways these could go bad).
He is tougher in that form. He knows he is tougher in that form. Siffrin curling around his friends in times of danger or stress.
Sif stressed? Curl around your friends. Having a task may help with the stress (or at least get his mind off of it). Task obtained: protecc.
Friends in danger because (I am making something up on the fly) of a forest fire or an earthquake? Sif in the way of the threat.
Tent Sif in hail.
I think he would.
(He would also likely get lectured later.)
Another thought. Sif just. Getting climbed on for a quick team getaway from a threat. Or even just he is large and can't help it. Someone makes a Steed joke. Sif laughs.
(Gentle exposure therapy. Reassign the big size with keeping his family safe. He'd be less stressed about it, at least.)
(Sorry I just. Like transformations. They make the brain think very hard and it's fun.)
YOUU. YOU get it. transformations fucking rule and i am having a field day with this ask. honestly i might even end up doodling a bit more after responding lmao
#snickart#dragon cave's mailbox#in stars and time#event horizon au#siffrin isat#everyone is here but theyre not really major so. im not sure i should tag them#BUT youu. you see my vision#LOVE the concept of it being an exposure therapy of sorts. youuu. you should keep talking#no id#ALSO i 100% assure you riding in siffrins cloak like shown in the final 2 photos is the most comfortable thing in the world#i know this in my heart

this is a meme but this idea is key to ocd treatment. genuinely

#bolo speaks#like that's actually something you learn in exposure and response prevention therapy.#I would know because I've done it.#completely avoiding your triggers because they set you off is capitulating to your fear#...and so is feel obliged to trigger yourself to make sure you have the ''right reaction!''#many such cases

The idea that comics are constantly rebooting, or have too many characters, or are too lore-laden to be accessible to new readers is a statistical error. Legion of Super-Heroes Georg is an outlier and
#and actually let me say#it's not really that bad#LoSH is exposure therapy to this mindset tbh#because yeah you'll see a character for the first time#and everyone will act like you've known them forever#and then you just roll with it!#and it turns out fine#in related news I'm enjoying my Legion read#I got through the silver age book and am now working on some bronze#the Great Darkness Saga is still a ways in the future#but it's interesting to see how this group grows (knowing where it ends up re: Legion of 3 Worlds)#chit chat#dc comics
