I am once again encouraging you to play Psychonauts
#spitblaze says things#psychonauts#and then play/watch rhombus of ruin#and then play psychonauts 2#i saw a blazed post asking ppl about what they want to see#and one of the options was 'guy goes into peoples minds to give them therapy'#that is psychonauts. that is quite literally the base premise of psychonauts#its much more compassionate in 2 than in 1#but 1 is still shockingly compassionate for a game from 05!

Hear me out: Ikrie in HFW
#if they ran out of bunks in the base she would've just put up a tent up next to the sunwing perch#and called it a day#anyway. i miss her.#and will forever be sad she didn't make it back despite a glaring lack of banuk in the game#but that also means i can spend my sick leave despairing over blight leaves between physical therapy appts#got another two weeks left so i might take colour to this piece#provided the knee keeps improving as it is currently#we'll see.#for now have a million lines!#ikrie#hfw#hzd#horizon fanart

I was thinking about the crack trip that is the PokĆ©mon ScarVio TCG manga and how it compares with the depressing plot of the base game, and Iām still not over how in the TCG manga, Turo and Sada just adopt some feral child in the woods and just leave it with their non-Arven child, Retto, because they thought it was cool they shared names.
#I headcanon Retto would NOT be able to handle the base game plot#Still they have to put up with the feral child their parents plopped on the floor so I guess they need therapy.#pokemon arven#trainer arven#arven pokemon#professor sada#professor turo#pokemon tcg manga#pokemon tcg#pokemon scarvio#pokemon scarvi#pokemon scarlet and violet#pokƩmon#pokemon#art#artwork#doodle#character art#artists on tumblr#illustration#pokemon violet

I think Taranza would want to be a dad, and has wanted this since childhood.
I'm now realizing this kinda conflicts with my shipping of Taranzalor/Magoranza, since Magolor doesn't seem like he'd want to be a parent.
I only realized this while writing a Magoranza fic. How do I do this to myself?
#taranza#kirby taranza#taranza kirby#magoranza#taranzalor#kirby#kirby headcanon#kirby games#kirby series#kirby franchise#kirby fandom#maxxie talks#pages in the tags#he would've played with joronia's baby dolls while she played with his fake swords#dude trained his whole life to be the perfect dad. and then his best friend died#and i like the idea that taranza's family probably sucked. but they sucked in the rich person way#so like... his definition of ''the perfect dad'' was ''don't be a dick to children''#and he kinda was a dick to children (kirby)#but he probably would be a good dad after years of therapy and forming healthy coping habits and making friends#magolor just has fun uncle vibes#he also needs therapy#therapy is free in dreamland. magolor is just convinced he deserves to punish himself because the universe isn't punishing him anymore <3#can you guess what time it is in my timezone based on the rambling in the tags? :D

fuck, I hate telehealth, but ya know, I think Iād actually like it if it was in minecraft instead of a video call. Letās do therapy in roblox or something.
#having a relationship with your therapist is unethicalā¦ but what about running a dungeon together in world of warcraft??#today weāre going to talk about my abandonment issues while we build a mountain base in minecraft together#shitā¦ I was just joking but this is actually sounding kinda rad#but wowwee do I hate telehealth#I hate professional video calls#I always feel like Iām saying the wrong things or Iām not talking enough#my last psych appointment was telehealth and it suuuuuuucked#oh man I donāt even know if I ever posted about this#it just felt so awkward and I was always worried someone could hear me on the call through the apartment walls#and he was like basically ājust try to think positiveā#fuck you fuck you fuck you and also think about my butthole and fuck you#thanks for the meds but never say that shit to me again#likeā¦ my therapist is a cool guy. I ālove him. or as much as you can love your doctor in a distant platonic way#heās always so cool about āyeah your chemicals are all messed upā and heās doesnāt shut me down at least not without actually understanding#but my psych who works in the same office does telehealth and seems very distant and not great at talking about deeper issues#which is fine. really. I just needed a doc whoād give me a fair shake and help me with the medication side#but I have to do telehealth for him and it feels so awkward and shallow#canāt we just do a 5 minute phone call? āhello. can we up the dose of my meds? yes? okay thank you.ā#I see you typing on your computer a lot. Iām not saying anything interesting. if youāre on neopets just say so#anyway I only thought about this bc I guess I COULD do telehealth therapy today or something#but like I said. telehealth feels awkward and I wouldnāt be able to open up over it#itās cool tho for likeā¦ I dunno. people who canāt go in person or need quick visits or whatever#Iām not saying itās not useful or a viable option. I personally just hate phone calls and video calls.#and I love video games bro š#and I love you#goodbye forever#text

love it when you become familiar with a piece of media not through consuming it yourself but because your friends/family love it and talk to you about it to the point where you have a working knowledge and favourite characters (mainly the same as the person who told you about it bc thatās who they talk about most).
Your hyper fixation? I think you mean OUR hyper fixation.
#based on actual events#no because why do i want to kiss a fictional character i do not know#this level of familiarity with a strangerās trauma is not normal#and its always the tall mean scary ones too#itās a bonding activity and next up we go to therapy together#fandoms#formula 1#formula one#cod#call of duty#ghost#gaz#soap#price#anime#video games#baldurs gate#heathers#movies#tv series#and sometimes they send you fanfics#smutty fanfics

I really am just thinking about Monika a lot today. Lot swimming through my brain. That dream was prophetic.
...about me thinking about Monika a lot.
#in retrospect despite not having much basis for monika having a stutter when she was younger i really do like the idea#speech impediments aren't really something you completely get rid of with something like speech therapy either generally#idk i'm not the most well-versed because personally my autism makes me hyperverbal but monika does strike me as well-passing nd#to the point where i think she wouldn't even imagine herself as nd but looks at some memes or like one of the girls says something#and she's like 'wait but i do that. i did that as a kid.' and the others are just like '... :O'#but of course most of my thoughts right now are on base game monika and like.#dude. i just want her to be happy.#*your new home blares in the background*

#tag games#warning i accidentally infodumped in the tags i'm sorry ignore me š ckjsdhdskj#made this based on relationships idk why jdksd. victoria is vesper's bestie 4 life & first gf. joelle & nina my fave wlw married couple#and then for the last one. listen. i've resurected a very old oc and i'm still not so sure but i miss skyrim so bad. they idea is that#they are related as in hiraeth is a descent of selene bc i think dragonborn=martin septim's child> family line going forward until we#have our little hiraeth. i never thought of selene & martin having a kid in canon (only stupid ideas of an au) but u know. what if. she#still ends up in the shivering isles tho and becomes sheogorath. hiraeth's bloodline having like an emperor & a daedric prince. OK KING!!#much to think about tbh. not sure if they/she(probably he too. thinking of their gender as therapy for myself) will stick as nord or maybe#wood elf too like selene. or maybe even dunmer?? it makes no sense fjkdfhk IDK. literally i HAVE so much to think for them#also their name came to me bc i read the welsh word Hiraeth that basically means 'a mixture of longing yearning nostalgia homesickness'#+ 'an expression of an empty desire and grief over a past life or place' and with drangonborns i like to push the idea of 'maybe they were#actual dragons in a past life and now human' u know?? so i thought it was sooo fitting. i also like the idea of the more dragon souls#they absorb the more their features turn..dragonesque?? draconic jkfdhfkdsj idk i love them very much (:#(i have no idea how dragon in past life + martin's bloodline can fit but i'm literally only vibing rn)#i want to replay skyrim SO bad but i need someone to hold my hand so tightly as they help me set up mods for this game bc i never played#skyrim with mods (collective gasp) and i have no idea of what to pick ecc especially bc everything..breaks with a snap of fingers so yea ri#SORRY for talking so much i get excited about new things (my oc in this case) so easily..#oc: vesper#oc: victoria#oc: joelle#oc: nina#oc: selene#oc: hiraeth#ALSO FUCK OFF JOELLE IS SOOOOOOOOO CUTE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Beasties of Greenhollow soundtrack! Some tracks on this are from older projects like elphame but all of them have been reworked in some way. Most of them are entirely new. Enjoy!
#soundtrack#music#indiegamedev#Youtube#beasties of greenhollow#indiegame#chiptune#elphame#hey again gang. Another scream into the void#Things have been getting more interesting tbh#I'm starting therapy again. I have learned from this that my anxiety is in the very very high end.#And I guess the only thing that surprises me about that is that it's an abnormally high amount vs the average.#I've had more intrusive thoughts this week than in a long time. (I almost said ever but that was 2021 where they woke me up...)#It's mostly about my mistakes and ppl I've scared out of being in my life because of the actions based on my anxieties.#Like āif i could go back in time I could fix itā... girl you'd be going back in time like 100 times. At that point it's not fair lmao#I think I shouldn't talk about who I'm dating here anymore. Friends told me to stop seeing so many new people and I took that advice.#I'm exercising incredibly frequently; obsessively so. It really doesn't change much in my anxiety. I walk for like 3 hours a day.#My friend group is... difficult. One of us had a falling out with another and the dynamic is just so awkward for me now.#it just seems like everyone else has moved past it though but I still miss him. I don't think this can be reversed#we used to talk on my stream and play digimon cards n jackbox and d&d... But now they're only interested in d&d which I don't love#For god's sake I've published a game and moved to a nice new place. why aren't I happy hahahaha#work is no longer enjoyable since BoG was publised. our new project is in an iffy category but it's not my place to argue#I want to write music and animate but I have to do my hours for this new project before I can do anything like that...#I ended up siding with my current boss in that ethical dilemma I posted about and rn idk if that was the right decision.#Okay what can i talk about that's good? We moved to a nice place. I'm celebrating BoG's release with family tomorrow.#Graeme's playing Iconoclasts- one of my favourite games! He's also returning to work soon so it'll be less awkward to have a lady over#Thinking about good stuff going on just draws the mind to holidays I've had before. I treasure my memories!#Okay so I've complained for a long long time bc life doesn't feel great rn. But rest assured I already know this is 90% my fault hahaha#Oh another good thing that happened!!! My elestrals card was printed and ppl are really happy with it. I have a card in a real card game!!!#don't tell anyone but there's another one on the way. Anyway that will do for now. I'm sorry about my... self.

I've been toying with a dragonformers au in my head. Not set in a particular canon, bit of a fusion of whatever I want.
So the transformers are dragons, obviously. But I'm torn between having it be about dragon riders, so Dot with Megatron, Raoul with Tracks, etc. Or a conservation area for wild dragons, with the humans basically being park rangers. Or a combo, a retirement area for dragons used for combat.
I'm sorry, I'm just tossing ideas about.
Hmmmm. Now, I'm not quite familiar with dragonformers as I've probably only read one? Fic with it, and even then i didn't quite finish the fic.
Buuuut, here's what I'm thinking here: a mixture, like you've suggested above. Some of them have grown up with humans their entire lives (or most of their lives) and have handlers. Some have had little to no human contact throughout their life up until this point. Some fall somewhere in the middle of this spectrum. I feel like it's exactly a good idea to suggest some are former military, but not all of them. Why do I suggest that last line? Hear me out, but
Dragon rehab.
#as I've mentioned before I'm still not entirely thawed out when it comes to the idea if [blank]formers but i definitely consider it#i myself like to keep them as sapient as possible just like they are in canon but hey that's me#dragonformers#maccadam#transformers#au#the picture i was getting in my head was mostly tfa and g1 but i definitely definitely couldn't stop thinking about the aligned predacons#or the game of thrones universe even though i have literally never watched a single episode or read a single book in it.#all i know about game of throwns is the fire and ice modpack and a youtube spec bio vid and ykw that's all i need#the only clear characters i was getting was hot rod and megatron#with hot rod having been raised with humans his entire life and he's here to drag everyone else into therapy (physical and other)#i was conflicted on Megs being 100% wild or if he's a veteran (tfp version for the first but tfa version for the second)#that's all i haveš
#hot rod would look so fucking cool as a dragon#he has phoenix based dragon vibes#oh right ig mtmte is also in the mix in my head but mostly the more lighthearted parts
