#could do chores with no issue

[doxiedreg]

Realising I'll need to wait out processing and recovering from my mental health turbulence before I can get back into creative endeavours and working on my characters makes me go grrrunmmmphh internally because time is limited and I got a glimpse of heaven in that 4th week of may when i was possesed by the art muses and had so much energy and 0 blockage and so much inspiration and then everything went to shit and i want it back so bad *cries*

Time until art fight is so limited please brain, please get yourself together. I know you've been through an immense amount of stress and I need to be kind and patient but not having any oc thoughts at all makes me really sad and i want to see my children again and work on my world and draw and *sobs more*

sorry for aqualad posting at like 2 am on a thursday morning BUT he is literally the only character ever. ive read a lot of comics w the young sidekick/inexperienced parental figure superhero dynamic and aquaman and aqualad is by FAR my favorite.

aqualad, at the start, is introduced as a child who is deathly afraid of schools of fish, to the point where aquaman has to step in and offer to help him get over his fear after learning about his past.

[ID: Two comic panels from Adventure Comics #269. The first panel shows Aqualad surrounded by fish and clearly panicked. Aquaman reassures him. The second panel shows Aquaman holding a very frightened Aqualad, who pleads for Aquaman to send the fish away from him. /end ID]

this really sets up their relationship a lot through the next issues, as aquaman is trying his best to deal with parenting but is largely unprepared but aqualad loves him more than anything else in the world. aqualad doesn't really have any other adults in his life, as basically he was sent away from atlantis for his purple eyes, which are seen as a sign of the infant being unable to live underwater. hes been an orphan for five years and despite the fact that he can breathe underwater, the proximity to fish made him much too panicked to continue living in atlantis so he was shipped up to surface.

aquaman is SUPER patient with aqualad as he tries to get over his fear of fish and aqualad gets attached to him super quickly (honestly i feel the complete lack of anyone else who really is a good figure in his life really adds to this). but the big difference here, between a lot of the other stuff ive read that follows this trope, aquaman wants aqualad to go back to atlantis after he conquers his fear of fish. he LOVES the kid but he wants him to be in a place where he can thrive. even as aqualad is heading back to atlantis, aquaman is thinking about how much he misses him and how much he cares about him. aqualad ends up using fish to trick aquaman that he went to atlantis and then returns and is taken under aquamans wing. i think a lot of the first issue really stands out as different to other characters like this, but honestly the biggest thing is just how there is depth there in a specific way. they both kind of help each other out (and while that is present in other versions of this dynamic, it comes off differently here).

however, one of the most interesting bits comes in the issue after, Adventure Comic #270. This is Aqualad's second ever appearance and the issue focuses on Aquaman saving a fortune teller, who predicts that someone who he has recently met will cause him harm and take over his position as king of the ocean.

[ID: A panel from Adventure Comics #270 that depicts Aquaman and Aqualad eating birthday cake underwater. Aquaman brings up that he doesn't have a home for Aqualad to live in, and Aqualad doesn't care, as long as he is with Aquaman. /end ID]

He is in denial that it is Aqualad at first but Aqualad keeps doing kind of fishy (pun intended) behaviors that make him convinced that the boy is out to hurt him. The end of the issue reveals that for Aquaman's birthday, Aqualad has been doing all of this to make them a home. what specifically is interesting about this to me is that neither of them have a home: aquamans mother was banished from atlantis and aqualad doesnt want to go back. and that in contrast to a character like batman, aquaman isnt providing for aqualad, aqualad is providing for them both. not saying this in the way of aqualad is forced into a more responsible role, more that they are moreso equals in the process of their partnership, which is something i find deeply interesting.

another example of this comes from Adventure Comics #278, where Aqualad goes to school for the first time. Aqualad is at first hesitant about school because of how much he wants to help Aquaman, but it is clear Aquaman wants what is best for him and wants him to have a more balanced life. Once he is reassured that he can still help Aquaman, he gets adjusted to school pretty quickly, until about half through, when helping someone, he gets hit over the head with a pipe (not even the first time this has happened). aquaman is SO concerned about him passing the exam to be able to fully participate in the school that he gets fish to help him jog aqualads memories. which imo just really shows the fact that they both really want to do all they can to help each other. and idk it means a lot to me because neither of them really have a ton of people in their lives and just really lean on each other.

aaghh I hate health anxiety ocd (or whatever you call it), it's literally doing nothing other than contributing to make my health worse

... wait actually, does anyone have like, tips/advice for that kind of thing? I really think I need some help with this one

[camgoloud]

i simply feel that if you burn shit in your roommate’s skillet you should then feel the obligation to be the one who scrapes it out and cleans up

[gifti3]

Nightbringer should have completely changed the mechanics of the game

oksies hi starting a new thread of get to know you

haii I'm moth and also thea you may call me any nickname as well <3

I love musicals so so much (niche and popular!! basic-shaming is lame)

I am superhero obsessed (augh pied piper)

doctor who is my autism (yay river sonf!!!!)

good omens heoughhhhhhhh

super excited to meet you <3333333

Hi moth!! You can call me tetra. Don't worry that's not my real name or anything tho. I took it from the concept of tetrachords in music.

If we're generous about what we call superheroes, then maybe most of the things I like are superhero based. I mean obviously there's marvel and dc, but then there's stuff like dpxdc, sonic the hedgehog (idk if I've ever heard him called a superhero but he kinda is), if we count magical girls then like. Sailor moon and madoka magica

I haven't seen any episodes of good omens, but I read a really good fanfic of Crowley going to therapy a while back, and a couple funny ones with like yelp reviews of Aziraphale's bookstore. Plus I love the good omens analysis posts on here. I feel like maybe I half know some of what's happened in the show but also probably haven't scratched the surface. I'm kinda bad at watching TV shows, so there's a lot of stuff that I know from fandom but haven't seen. For another example of that, I've only watched one or two episodes of Sonic Prime. I reblog posts for it and it sounds good but idk. Just bad at it.

I'm a much more casual fan of musicals, I think for the same thing as above where I just struggle to sit and watch something on purpose. But I listen to the music from them sometimes, I've read transcripts online of a couple, and i swoon whenever I see a post analyzing the meaning of a musical song, especially when they go beyond lyrics and start going into the music theory in the tune. I don't have the skills or knowledge to do that myself but I love it so much

(when the singer changes their technique to enhance the meaning,, when this or that chord is a step outside the key to symbolize change or isolation or anything,,, using instruments as symbols for this or that character,,, tbh it doesn't have to be a musical even shout out to that youtube video by Scruffy on how fnaf's audio and sound effects make it scarier)

Lately I've been bouncing back and forth between Sonic and DPxDC. With hints of Slay The Princess in there bc I saw part of a playthrough of that awhile ago and loved the concept. I reblog madoka magica stuff whenever I see it (except magia record bc I know next to nothing about it) because that stuff makes me lose my mind. The love the pain the hope the despair!! Homura is probably like my ultimate blorbo but I love all the five girls they're so cool. I actually read the manga instead of watching the show though so I'm not as familiar with all the music. Plus I think the show had some extra scenes. Although it's a little confusing bc I think some of the extra scenes I see are magia record so idk.

Also I'm a fan of arts and crafts and will reblog that kind of thing once in a while, along with cute cat stuff.

Super excited to meet you too!

I never claimed to be the responsible one in this body *takes a sip of whiskey on a completely empty stomach, having last eaten 11 hours ago and it only being half a bag of chips, no breakfast to speak of*

[zenithpng]

Y'know I expected this to happen but I think my food binging issues are just disappearing pretty much on their own. Like, while I was still at school and living in dorm, I wasn't eating much most of the week. We didn't get good quality food in my dorm so I had to skip meals a lot, I didn't always have the money to buy myself food to school so I didn't eat anything between breakfast and going back from school, and most of the time I didn't eat any snacks for a bunch of reasons. So, when I went back home for the weekends my body kinda needed more food after being low-key hungry all the time, which lead me to binging food almost every weekend for at least two years. And I expected it to get better after I move out of dorm and back to my home, since here I have constant access to food, and an easier access to snacks, so I won't have those times of constant hunger that I need to make up for. And it's been about a month since I moved back home, and it's already better. It got worse for the first week or so, but it's better now. For example, I bought a bag of chips and instant noodles a few days ago, planning to eat them in one sitting. I didn't even open them on the same day, I ate the noodles a day after I bought them, and then today I opened the chip bag and at one point felt full and just. Put them away. Didn't force myself to finish the entire bag as usual. Just decided I'm good and I can eat it later, or maybe even tomorrow. It's a very small thing but I'm really happy about it

Pleas update on roommate situation when you talk dudjdn i need to know if they are mad about the shoes thing

ok so this is where things are right now:

1. after asking if she was upset with me she said no and since then she has been normal again towards me, which makes me think she was afraid of me over the shoes thing ? no talk tho but i don't think there ever will be one which is whatever

2. i wanted to speak to her over the shoes thing but she did not even come into the house when she returned them--she opened the door and tossed them in and left so i didn't get a chance (and i drove 5h there and was about to drive 5h back so i didn't bother texting/chasing her down bc i was like whatever i'm annoyed but i'll be over it by the time i'm back and hopefully this will have taught her not to take my shoes without asking)

3. was just informed by my other roommate that her version of events is the exact opposite, she says she came in and tried to speak to me and i wouldn't look at her or respond

4. she also told my other roommate that when i got back she tried to speak to me again and the same thing happened, and unless she choked on her words while scurrying out of the room whenever i came in that did not happen either lol

but anyway, seems like she was scared of me bc of the shoes thing ? which is slightly better i guess than being mad at me but still ??? and things between us seem to be fine again so that's good but don't love that she was literally lying about me and making me sound like i was the problem when i wanted to talk it out and she never gave me the chance
