#doing the best i can

I’m on meds, yes they have side effects…but I like myself on them better. So, please just remember that we’re all doing the best we can with the cards we were dealt. So if you or a loved one has to take meds for mental health care just support it. We’re all just doing our best everyday.🫶🏻

I went forty eight hours without torturing myself watching the last twelve minutes so that’s something.

if anyone wishes for me to tag something please tell me! I remember someone asked me to tag specific stuff but I do not remember after all this time, I'm sorry

Trying to be happy and positive but mental health isn’t really in the best of places. I’m frustrated, I’ve had a lot going on at the moment and it’s not going the way that I need it to. I’m trying to not have an absolute meltdown. Im trying to keep myself happy and get through it. Smile through the pain.

Seriously can’t wait until the little things don’t hurt so much anymore. I just know that’s not gonna be anytime soon and that’s so frustrating.

But I covered my tears, silent all day. It's out of my hands here. In my distress. well I wanted someone to blame me. In my devastation, I wanted so to change. In my way, disaster was the only thing that I could depend on. But it's alright, baby, I'm doing the best that I can. Yes it's alright, baby, I'm doing the best that I can. Because fate causes fortune and fortune takes it away. And then fortune cause nightmares, nightmares that make you crazy. It's alright, baby, I'm doing the best that I can. It's alright, baby, I'm doing the best that I can. Oh he says, well I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the best that you can. Well he says, oh, I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the best that you can. Ooh she says, it's alright, baby, I'm doing the best that I can. Yes it's alright, baby, I'm doing the best that I can. Oh and he says, I hear you're doing fine and you're doing the best that you can. Oh and he says, ooh I hear she's doing fine and she's doing the best that she can. Oh and I paid a price for it. I'm doing the best that I can.

I personally believe that;

The cover art from the Vengeance Saga will be red / yellow, and it will be set on a shore looking at the sunset through the ocean, while something moves and emergence (portraying the moments before the showdown between Odysseus and Poseidon at the end of the Saga), something like this:

While the ‘Ithaca Saga’ cover art, I think will be a parallel to the ‘Troy Saga’, and similar to the first shots of Ithaca we got on the first animatic of the ‘Wisdom Saga’, (it will probably look like these shots, with big inspo from the Troy Saga cover arts);

Or maybe it will feature the Olive Tree using a similar structure to the Troy Saga covers, like this;

But that just how I think they’ll look like.

What do you think the colors will be for the vengeance and ithaca sagas?

I think black and red. Black for vengeance and red for ithaca.

I think Vengeance might be a maroon type color, and Ithaca might be either an olive green, or a brighter purple!

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

identity reveals are always fun

[laughingcatwrites]

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
