Episode 7: Beignets!

I rewatched S2E2 of Helluva Boss ("Seeing Stars") and got hit with that BANGER of a line from Loona about dads having issues and messing up all the time but still caring. VIVZIE, I am sensing a THEMEEEEEEE.

And thank you for all the lovely comments thus far! I'm so tickled to see how many folks connect with this, whether you're from the American South or not. Food is such a core love language for so many people.

Description under the cut!

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION: Radioapple comic

PANEL 1: (Lucifer sits atop a barstool-like chair on his balcony at the hotel. He's curled up in on himself, quietly crying with his head in his arms as he slumps over the marble balustrade and his tail curled around his ankles.)

PANEL 2: (Alastor gently sets a large platter of fresh beignets next to Lucifer's arm, and Lucifer glances up, looking miserable.) Alastor: (offscreen) You're not a bad father, you know.

PANEL 3: (Alastor strikes a jazz-hands pose as a canned laugh track emanates from his cane.) Alastor: Granted, YES you did fail spectacularly! You fail A LOT. But...

PANEL 4: (Closeup of the lower half of Lucifer's face as more tears fall down his cheeks.) Alastor: (offscreen) ...you're consistently, SINCERELY trying. And that is incredibly important.

PANEL 5: (closeup of Alastor's right eye in profile) Alastor: It's certainly more than my father ever did.

PANEL 6: (Alastor reaches over and places a hand on Lucifer's, which is still clutching at his upper arm. Though we can't see Lucifer's face, he's sitting a little straighter, looking up at Alastor.) Alastor: (offscreen) Or yours, for that matter.

Inktober No. 9 - Omniscient + Bruises

This is unfinished. It is not at all what I had in mind for how it should look like in the end.

I messed up and accidentally painted it all on the sketch layer (again - *eye roll*). Fixing it would mean start from the beginning. I am a mess because my depression is pretty bad at the moment and I guess this work reflects that. I couldn't get myself to giving it another try.

The plan was a watercolour piece - in colour, with a proper background, but...

Prompts from @bluebellofbakerstreet's amazing prompt list and the @whumptober prompt list for Inktober 2024.

I am flattered if you reblog, but do NOT post my art on other sites/social media or use in any other way without my written permission.

Cover my mouth and take my breath away

You killed the life inside of me

You walked away and left me to crawl

Open your wrists, I'll let you bleed on me

Don't live another day

You walked away and left me to crawl

Life is too short to be sad. Eat up.

I'm not dead, guys! I'm just a mentally unstable adult who decided that making a cute davekat lyric video would be a good idea 🤠

It'll take time... But I'll finish it

Depression go brrrrrr so yall get some Peng comfort cause I’m struggling with bedrot!

(Also, this is mostly just for me, but mental health is important! Take care of yourselves and stay safe!)

~<3~

🪶 - Peng’s would gladly drag your ass outta bed the minute they see you bedrotting.

🪶- But, that doesn’t mean they’re gonna be nice about it! They’re insulting you the whole time they’re making sure you’re taking care of yourself.

🪶- If you need sunlight, they’re opening the blinds or taking you out for a walk. If you haven’t drank water, they’re tilting your head back to make you drink some. And if you haven’t eaten, you better believe they’re stealing your phone to order dinner and scaring off the delivery driver so they don’t have to pay.

🪶- And once all that’s done, they’ll drag you to the couch and cuddle up with you. You’ll have to work the TV, (mostly because they don’t know how) but they’ll let you pick the movie.

🪶- And even though they don’t show it in a normal way, you can tell Peng cares about you. Every insult is accompanied by a caring act, and once you’re curled into their side, their arm is wrapped around you protectively.

🪶- Don’t say anything, though. Because they’ll deny it no matter what.

tbh i feel like i have zero control over my life. and i cant entirely blame my parents either. anytime i try to make any sort of chance i can be consistent for a week at most and then i go back to normal. every day i wake up, do schoolwork and chores, watch Gabe + roleplay to distract myself, and then go to sleep. i do very little to improve myself or actually benefit my situation. emiyah can but he can front for a limited time consistently before getting front burnout and needing a break. every time i hear 'you just gotta push yourself' i lose a bit of HP because I HAVE pushed myself. ive done everything i could think of and nothing is working. im the sentient equivalent of a dirty pile of laundry. cant wait for my future roommates to eventually realize this

Love.

Happy of the End showed a lots of real life offences that are never or very rarely talked about in media, the topics that are often often swooped under the rug.

And still have us a happy ending. That's something else totally.

When time travel shows and chaebol shows can easily forget the money troubles of people falling in love, and that just being a self soothing entertainment, this show dove deep into every possible trauma that a money and protection less kid or man might face in the world and still showed how some unnamable attraction turning into dependency can turn into love and inturn make those in love better human.

The story telling, the cityscapes and landscapes, their clothings, the tender caretakings, the essentiality of friendships forgetting the harsh pasts and the necessity of letting go and coming back, both Chihiro and Haoren wanting to cook better for each other, the waiting and loving, the dreams remembered and the promises kept.

Haoren not wanting to take the boats on ride when the park is closed because it's illegal, when his whole life, almost everything that has kept him alive is illegal showed how deep down he is still a kind and regular citizen afraid of law. And after getting saved, him surrendering to the police to pay for his crimes still shows the same. I read the meta about un-registered population in Japan and probably Haoren/Hayato was one such kid and that makes me more sad.

How the new co-worker calls him Haoren because he no more needs the Keito name or anything else. And him crying on seeing Chihiro's photo, when he infact didn't cry on seeing that old lady/assumed mom dead. Haoren has come a long way.

How its Chihiro now, pursuing his dream, doing whatever he wanted and could do, is asking places from Matsuki and waiting for Haoren, is a whole circle but a non toxic one.

Final thoughts :

Love, perhaps, is a healing and hope giving feeling.

Friendships, in life, are important too.

I was really quite depressed today 😔 but came over here and looked at some of @nasa 's astrophotography and now I feel better enough to leave my house and go see my friend.

Thanks, NASA.

Seeing an image from Dreamscapers, where you see Stan's mind scape is both enlightening and heartbreaking at the same time.

Overall, the landscape is grey, while various memories behind the doors are all in color. I can promise you, as someone diagnosed with severe depression, this is probably the first to second most accurate description of depression I've ever seen portrayed in animated form.

At least my experience with it is an overall grey mind scape, with both dark corners I try to keep myself from going into, and bright moments I keep "behind closed doors" to retain as best I can. Giving it a little bit of a blurry resolution also is very accurate, as in my case, my memory is really bad.

Another little piece of this show, and Stan I hold close to me now 🥺🥹🥺

Adormeci sonhando e minha mente se perdeu em pesadelos confusos, acordei na realidade que me sinto mais impotente que tudo, parece que tudo que permanece é o pior, as piores experiências, memórias, sentimentos, não sei como me livrar do peso invisível que minha mente acumula e arrasta sem cessar e isso é exaustivo, sufocante, de vez em quando desesperador. . .

parece não haver saída.

- mas é só um sentimento, eu sei

I just received my package yesterday: an anal toy haul(beads, a set of glass plugs, a vibrating plug, and a new dildo), but I haven't touched my ass in over a month, not even with old ones, and still don't feel up to it..very low libido atm, depression.

First, your haul is amazing

Secondly, probably more important, don't beat yourself up about not feeling up to it. I know exactly how you're feeling and it sucks because we know how good it feels to play and there are benefits physically and mentally to having a session to ourselves but when our libido is low no amount of telling ourselves that will change the fact our brain and body are just misaligned right now

I said it above and I'll say it again, it sucks and depression takes so much more from people than anyone who doesn't suffer understands. All we can do is focus on what does make us feel good right now (mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, all the ways) and know that those shiny toys are gonna be there if and when we have a higher libido day

TW: Depression & Struggling Mental Health Rant ♡

Yall know how hard it is to fall back in love with school after being burnt out the entire summer? I've never fallen this behind before and it legit scares me. I've always been the overachiever, the student no one ever had to worry about, but now? I can barely see myself in the mirror.

I write fanfic as a distraction/procrastination/escapism, but now even that is becoming a chore. Plus I'm confronting so many anxieties this year that I've been actively and strategically avoiding. Im scared yall and I don't even feel like I can tell anyone in my life because I'm the girl that people go to for help. I don't want them to see me struggling, plus most of the people in my life would take my shit as a joke so it wouldn't matter.

Dw i have therapy on Friday, but I gotta make it there yk. Turning 21 has done nothing to help me. I feel like my body is rejecting me. At this point I feel like a soulless body just floating around taking up space. Shit I'm pretty sure this just my depression manifesting in new ways, but I don't know. I guess I should start taking my pills again. Is this why my appetite has gone down? I know I should've never stopped taking the pills, but I'm human.

sorry to dump all this on whoever read to the end. I just needed to get that out and off my chest. Life's hard. If yall have any advice on coping mechanisms or literally anything, my inbox is open and so are my dms. Nothing is too small.

I'll reblog in a few weeks to see how this month went.
