[any-otherkin-requests]

Heya there! Can I please have a positivity for one Gern Blanston from Critical Role? Y'see, I've been feeling very beaten down by everything the world throws at me. It's just one tragedy after the other and I cannot get back up. It has made me a very angry, aggressive, and pessimistic man. I'm not actually gonna hurt anyone because I don't want to, but this anger, this overwhelming oppression and suffering I feel is too much. I would be unbelievably grateful for an answer. Thank you!

Heya Gern! I totally get what you mean- a lot of the time life can feel like it’s just hitting you in the face with nonstop snowballs, and every time you get up BAM! Another freakin snowball. It SUCKS, and I think you need to let yourself acknowledge that it sucks. All of this anger- this pessimism is completely justified. The rage inside you- it stems from hurt. And just like a flesh wound, you have to treat a mental wound kindly. But I know that it’s way harder than it seems. But hey! You can do it! The fact that you don’t want to hurt anyone despite all this anger is more than enough proof that you are good, and strong. You must remember that there are so many things waiting for you on the other side of this blizzard. And if you need to shout, to yell and kick and fight this storm to get through it- don’t feel bad about it. You’re hurting, and when you hurt you fight. You descend from the mighty dragons, wings and claws bared to fight, to kick and roar- and they hurt too. And they too must learn to grieve. Let yourself grieve over what you have lost in whatever way it manifests, but the important part is to acknowledge and keep moving foreword, even if it might mean getting hit with another snowball. Know that you can get through this. Please be gentle with yourself, I know it can be hard to see past the rage, but please know there’s more to life than this. There is still magic in the world I promise, even if you have to make it yourself. Cast your spells onto the world. Please remember what a noble thing it is to save someone, even if it’s yourself. - Mod Heather
