yes i did fanart of my own fic it's called self love (here is the fic)

Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

[ID: a digital, sketchy comic of sklonda and pok from fantasy high in four pictures. in the first, a beer glass is in the middle, and around it snippets of sklonda's thoughts. one is of her doing paperwork, another of her holding her head, another hectic one of a gun, her looking back and her terrified eye, and the last one of her face angry. in the second, sklonda is sitting at the bar and looking to the left as someone off screen says, is this seat free? on the other side of the bar are the bartender's legs and an ominous shadow extending from them. in the third, pok is leaning with one arm on the bar and looking flirtily; the hand on the bar is fidgeting, and the other is in his pocket. in panels next to it, sklonda looks him up and down with a neutral expression. in the fourth, pok smiles cutely and sklonda finally returns the smile, motioning to the barstool next to her and saying, as you can see.

I ride the dolphin, guided by the ocean's rhythm. As I move through the water, I feel my connection to the sea. The waves are my intuition and the sun is my awakening. 🐬🌊🌞

hey, did you know that there’s a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will?

Your soul knows. It will always tell you when it's time to distance yourself from those who no longer align with you mentally, emotionally, physically, or energetically.

thinking about kid feeding the puppy and sita telling him not to “give her hope”

and then the rest of the film shows you that hope is the point. maybe it doesn’t immediately change things, or even save you entirely. but hope keeps you going.

hope is what it’s all for, no matter if, when , or how it ends

so in typical tdp fashion we get a motif set up more as a joke - Soren leading a blindfolded Opeli to a super secret council meeting (6x01) - only for the same motif to return in a much more thematic and serious way - Callum wearing the celestial elf blindfold, seemingly for some kind of test or transcendental experience and. i really Can't with this show anymore it's too good

notes to self: existing delulu land edition

knowing yourself and your needs and accepting then instead of ignoring them or forcing yourself to change is the first step towards most of what you want. once you understand that, you can work around it, you can work with it.

your need is connections. human connections that are authentic and warm and present. you don't like people who are absent and those that are inconsistent in their communication. it makes you anxious and triggers your overthinking qualities. you want to feel secure in the connection you share with the person and presence, consistent communication, and actions aligning with words are the basics of that.

so you don't force yourself to not want connections. you just make sure your life is full of wholesome, fulfilling, beautiful ones. you pick the good ones and you say bye to the bad ones before they develop into sources of unnecessary agony and hurt. you realize how to limit the impact of a connection with someone and how to deal with disappointment.

feeling good about yourself and being at peace with yourself, at least a little bit, is what will help you have clarity about what you want in a relationship and in your life. because then you won't be using people and situations as maladpative coping mechanisms or a way to soothe your insecurities or fill holes instead of fix them.

what do you not feel good about right now? the lack of stability across most aspects of your life? you're working on it, I know. and it's hard, I know. but you have to continue. for yourself. and to also form the kind of connections that you seek the most with others in life.

you have to lower the volume of social media and all these cross connections. meme culture and reels and echo chambers that make you feel like being delulu is the only solulu and that everyone is depressed and everything is fucked and adulting is the worst. because the truth is that it may make you laugh and humour helps but subconsciously you start believing these narratives and then it becomes the normal. but when the fuck did it become okay to normalize feeling tired and sleepless all the time? girl dinner and sad boi hours? situationships and casual dating when such intimacy means something to you? if you were 19 maybe you could let all this be a part of your vocabulary and life. but at 26 when you're seeking a balanced, healthy, good life and future, you have to reduce your consumption of the internet content and really protect your brain.

davrin and rye ingellvar's dynamic continues to be unmatched. davrin invites rook along on the training trip with assan in arlathan forest as a sort of extended hand of peace because they've been getting off on the wrong foot a little bit (rook is gamely like HELL YEAH sounds fun! :) while sweating nervously), and then davrin spends the whole walk squinting at rook -- prancing around in his fancy little mourn watch silk robes getting caught on thorns, gawking at common plants and critters like he's never seen them before, stumbling over roots and laughing awkwardly about it even though davrin hasn't even said anything -- like 'who the fuck is this weird indoor kid, how have they survived this long, and more importantly why are we trusting them to save the world'. all while rook is going 'goddd I'm looking so dumb in front of the cool kid and he already questions every second thing I say or do this sucks'. but. they are both trying, and will keep trying. and this is what matters

extremely sucks that like once a week i'll be interested in Bideo Jame (generic) because it looks extremely cool and fun and then i'll look into it even slightly and everyone like "yeah its great it's just too bad all the writers got laid off right after the script was finished and it's full of bugs because production was crunched so badly also there's 12 different DLC packs and they each cost an extra 20 dollars but the game is basically unplayable without them like most of the content is not included in the base game and then as soon as it released the studio shuttered because it didn't gain 12 thousand million dollars in presale and now no one's allowed to produce anything more because the studio owns the copyright. besides that it's a great game though" BLEAK. this is not a post trying to shame people for playing games with problems nor is it even about one specific game. it is just extremely bleak that the video games industry is at a point where you're paying upwards of 80 dollars for games that, let's be HONEST, barely work out of the box (not due to dev skill but due to mismangement and crunch), and the people who worked on those games never see your money and have 0 job security. hey maybe it should not work like that. maybe this is real bad.

and don't tell me to buy indie games (a thing i already do). this is a criticism of the industry. no amount of voting with your wallet is going to change policies and regulations, which are the actual things that need to change
