This. You know what's helped my depression more than anything else? Making plans for something I can look forward to.

Yes, those plans often include spending some money, but, after it worked the first time, I found ways to rearrange my budget or share the cost with a friend to make it more doable.

Find things to look forward to.

the secret to life is always having something to look forward to

#rent a movie #have friends over #go for coffee at a new place #take a class #see a play/musical #hint: see if you can get discounts for opening night. mine are only $25 for the first three nights #go to the library #go to a park youve never been to #have a taste testing contest #(my family does 5 different brands of soda every thanksgiving and we alternate ginger ale and root beer)#plan a movie that you watch every season #October is Over the Garden Wall #Im inviting a couple friends over and we're all bringing a food #im making soup and grilled cheese #just find everyday cozy comfy things that will make you feel like a person

I feel that during the first coffee date walk through the market, rye has a fraction of a millisecond's kneejerk trauma freakout of '...wait. wait. am I really catching feelings for a rich boy again. with how that went down last time. am I truly that stupid' (once derogatorily referred to quite openly at a party as 'young master anaxas' pet mortalitasi' to which the young master anaxas only grinned and shrugged and STILL you don't break up with his smug controlling ass for good for six more months because you have a desperate bottomless yearning pit where your self respect should go, twice shy lol). and then he actually looks at lucanis standing next to him getting harding spearmint to help with bad dreams and generally being so quietly thoughtful and sweet through the prosaic yet necessary medium of grocery shopping it makes me feel a little unwell to truly contemplate. and rye is like '*the softest fondest eyes anyone has ever turned on anything* ...you know what. I suspect we don't have to worry about that repeating, I think we're probably safe. I am comfortable being this level of stupid. (slowly dawning marital intent even at this stage)'.

(part of the reason rye buys NONE of illario's bullshit at all right from the beginning is that he's basically vaccinated against this exact type of dude after that relationship lol. charming suave guy who in the beginning pays you a lot of lavish attention and takes pains to make you feel special every time you're in a room with him -- but shallowly and mostly, it slowly dawns on you, when there's something he wants from you (and he's often doing it at the expense of someone else, raising you up to put someone else down and you won't believe this... it can turn into a seesaw at a whim. yay). and beneath that there's just a seething pit of resentment and inferiority complexes and bitterness left to fester until he can make it everyone else's problem and that IS going to start to bubble up between the cracks with you too if you stick around for long enough. no thank you been there done that wasted my youth and potential on it and all I got was this lousy shiny set of new emotional intimacy issues haunting me for life! trust me illario I HAVE, as it were, chosen the wrong dellamorte before, which is exactly how I know I didn't this time. go get him lucanis I've got your coffee

hilarious mental image: rye and illario sitting quietly together while everyone else is busy milling about during a cursed dellamorte family dinner (the vibes are so bad. you know the vibes are bad. sitting as still as you can and hoping for calm skies is your best bet without lucanis or teia favourite child privileges to work with) and rye out of the blue gazing thoughtfully into nothing over the edge of his glass with half-lidded eyes to go 'you know. you remind me a lot of my ex. not in a good way' and illario with absolutely no shame and hilariously also something that's the closest he ever gets to real sympathy going 'yeah, I get that a lot'. best talk those two ever had, unironically. their bond leveled up to its final form that day. *soulsborne boss defeated text* MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING REACHED)

#idly trying to decide what nevarran great house rye's shitheel early twenties boyfriend was part of #(possibly as one of the piddliest side branches of that house too b/c between that and the youngest son thing..... bad news)#there would be something especially delicious about him being a van markham of course. adds some Layers #to the baron van markham situation. but maybe that's TOO neat. nobles can just suck as a Class (as they do). I must Contemplate #I do really love the idea I'm going with here that it could be the youngest son of the duke of cumberland (so an anaxas)#(perhaps grandchild? slightly unclear how the numbers work out there we have too little information to go on I think)#who made so much trouble back home in cumberland they basically sent him off to the capital to raise hell over there lol #the classic 'god idk send him off to an aunt and she'll either straighten him out or they'll kill each other #either way he won't be my problem for the duration' move. oh the tribulations of an afterthought of a son no one really needed #(funny headcanon to make that the pentaghasts can't come up with a solid direct heir to king marcus to save his at least #seven-fold resurrected ass. while the duke of cumberland has heirs. maker help him but does he have heirs the house is full of them #where are they all coming from. his wife staring directly into the camera like she's on the office)#dragon age #dragon age: the veilguard #dragon age: the veilguard spoilers #dragon age spoilers #oc: Ellaryen Ingellvar #Lucanis Dellamorte #rook x lucanis #rookanis #illario dellamorte #doing coffee with the crows after the city choice adds quite a bit here lol. among other things it opens the distinct possiblity #that rook has overheard lucanis talk about wyverns in banter and the dagger is a more purposefully chosen thing #much like lucanis' cake choice is dependent on rook's beverage preferences later on. their freaks match #gifts to give your special person to tell them you've done deep research on them but like not in a stalker way #this post went off to places I hadn't expected. but love the rye and illario stuff that turned up here lmao like yeah that feels about righ

i survived my first day at my new job <3

#it was a ton of really boring meetings lmao #tomorrow i go into the office & i'm gonna pet some dogs!!!

Size chart for (some) Cyberverse characters!

(Note: The size and conversions into feet will be done below, typed out for convenience.)

So I was scrolling around on Seibertron's discussion threads about cyberverse (somebody was trying to bring some political figures in the conversation and I was so confused) to try and ignore my real-life responsibilities and I stumbled upon this post!

It's a (probably) official size chart for certain characters from cyberverse! I posted another version of the screenshot below. Also, here is the original video from where the size chart came from, and it is also in a playlist, including other videos about this cyberverse magazine.

Note: I suggest you click on the picture or open it in a new tab, as tumblr murdered the quality pretty badly. I also suggest you all to watch the video, because my computer is kinda crappy, and idk if taking a screenshot murdered the quality.

HEIGHT AND CONVERSION INTO IMPERIAL SYSTEM:

This is by the order from left to right, top to bottom. Please note that this isn't exact, as I'm just trying my best with eyeballing the heights, and I'm using google conversion to change this in the imperial system, and I'm also rounding the numbers to only two decimal places. Also, the poses they're doing are really weird (seriously, what are you doing, Acid Storm?), but I'm assuming that wherever their heads end is how tall whoever put this chart together wanted them to be, and they didn't have access to any official art that had everyone standing straight.

By the way, please don't chew me a new butt if I'm off by around 0.10 meters or something. I'm trying my best here, and I don't really want to break out the rulers and grid and do math to find their exact height. I'm just doing this for fun :]

AUTOBOTS/TOP ROW: Bumblebee: 4.75 meters, equivalent to 15.58 feet. Optimus Prime: 5.75 meters, equivalent to 18.86 feet. Windblade: 4.75 meters, equivalent to 15.58 feet. Grimlock: 6 meters, equivalent to 19.69 feet (nice). Hot Rod: 5.25 meters, equivalent to 17.22 feet. Wheeljack: 5.50 meters, equivalent to 18.04 feet. Blurr: 5.50 meters, equivalent to 18.04 feet. Ratchet: 5.65 meters, equivalent to 18.54 feet.

DECEPTICONS/BOTTOM ROW: Megatron: 6.25 meters, equivalent to 20.50 feet. Starscream: 5.10 meters, equivalent to 16.73 feet. Shockwave: 5.75 meters, equivalent to 18.86 feet. Thundercracker: 4.65 meters, equivalent to 15.26 feet. Shadow Striker: 5.65 meters, equivalent to 18.54 feet. Acid Storm: 4.65 meters, equivalent to 15.26 feet. Soundwave: 5.65 meters, equivalent to 18.54 feet. Slipstream: 4.65 meters, equivalent to 15.26 feet.

Below the cut is some stuff that I found interesting, like the average of heights, orders from shortest to tallest, surprises I had, and other thoughts. Take a look!

AVERAGE HEIGHTS OF AUTOBOTS: 5.39 meters, equivalent to 17.69 feet (nice).

AVERAGE HEIGHTS OF DECEPTICONS: 5.29 meters, equivalent to 17.37 feet.

AVERAGE HEIGHTS OF BOTS WITH LAND-BASED ALT-MODES (there were 11 of them in total; 7 Autobots, 4 Decepticons): 5.61 meters, equivalent to 18.40 feet.

AVERAGE HEIGHTS OF BOTS WITH AERIAL-BASED ALT-MODES (there were 5 of them in total; 1 Autobot, 4 Decepticons): 4.76 meters, equivalent to 15.62 feet.

-----

Height re-order; Tallest to shortest, all bots: 1. Megatron (6.25 m // 20.50 ft) 2. Grimlock (6 m // 19.69 ft) 3. Optimus Prime and Shockwave (Both 5.75 m // 18.86 ft) 4. Ratchet, Shadow Striker, and Soundwave (All 5.65 m // 18.54 ft) 5. Blurr and Wheeljack (Both 5.50 m // 18.04 ft) 6. Hot Rod (5.25 m // 17.22 ft) 7. Starscream (5.10 m // 16.73 ft) 8. Bumblebee and Windblade (Both 4.75 m // 15.58 ft) 9. Acid Storm, Slipstream, and Thundercracker (All 4.65 m // 15.26 ft)

Height re-order; Tallest to shortest, Autobots only: 1. Grimlock (6 m // 19.69 ft) 2. Optimus Prime (5.75 m // 18.54 ft) 3. Ratchet (5.65 m // 18.54 ft) 4. Blurr and Wheeljack (Both 5.50 m // 18.04 ft) 5. Hot Rod (5.25 m // 17.22 ft) 6. Bumblebee and Windblade (Both 4.75 m // 15.58 ft)

Height re-order; Tallest to shortest, Decepticons only: 1. Megatron (6.25 m // 20.50 ft) 2. Shockwave (5.75 m // 18.86 ft) 3. Shadow Striker, and Soundwave (Both 5.65 m // 18.54 ft) 4. Starscream (5.10 m // 16.73 ft) 5. Acid Storm, Slipstream, and Thundercracker (All 4.65 m // 15.26 ft)

This whole list was pretty interesting, although I do feel like the animators weren't all that faithful to this (heck, I don't think they had this, and were just told general guidelines to follow to make each character a certain height.) Also, I'd have thought the seekers (and Windblade) would have been taller than most of the other bots that have land-based alt-modes, like Bumblebee or Hot Rod. I guess not in this continuity.

Considering that the other bots that are the same height as Shadow Striker or taller are either SUVs, tanks, large trucks, dinosaurs, etc, while Shadow Striker is just a sports car is pretty interesting.

I also like to imagine that the only reason why Starscream is taller than the other seekers listed is because he made some sort of mod (maybe something that has to do to his rockets at his heel/foot?)

It's too bad that there doesn't seem to be anything with the rest of the s1 characters (Because I swear there were more Autobots first shown in background scenes during season one, but I could be wrong), and it really is too bad that we don't have anything for the season 2, 3, and the movie specials.

Still, I hope you all found this post as interesting as I did!

not to be sentimental on main but life literally gets so much better when u grow up

#if you know me irl don’t @ me for my sappiness but i am having so many emotions waking up at 7am in our new apartment #for the first time and my love is still sleeping and i made us both coffee #we put up shower curtains yesterday ?? and cried afterwards because we’ve finally moved in together?? after wanting to for years #literally life only gets better ?? i used to be seventeen and terrified of the future #and terrified that i was going to carry all the anger and fear of my family home into any new place i lived but now #i’m putting the bowls we had ice cream in last night into the dishwasher the next morning and everything is good #and i am safe and loved and not seventeen anymore #i. ah #op

y'know how y.akuza protagonists usually have a drunk gauge on the side of the screen? and you know how my s.ugiura fankid grows up to be protagonist of her own game that I made up? i think it would be so funny if she has a caffeine gauge instead

#ash rambles 💚#mask off 🎭#she falls under the Tired College Student With A Caffeine Addiction trope i fear #i guess she is technically old enough to drink.. barely. i don't think she likes to though #and y'know how every y.akuza game takes place during winter?#'guys my hands are cold 😭' Emi my dear that's because you're drinking iced coffee in december??#i love her #i think it would be so funny if coffee just. spawns in her hand during cutscenes #or if we wanna go super silly #an idle animation where she reaches into her jacket and pulls out an iced coffee ajdhsjdjs Y.akuza games are pretty stupid after all-#alcohol mention #oh right #happy new year #hope everyone has a good one #I'm not much for celebrating it #i just played games last night and went to sleep early #new year same ash

horrible nostalgia for my old airport routine and realizing i will never take that train or walk down that long ass hallway or order at that coffee shop ever again…

#just realizing that like. I don’t know where to get coffee in this airport #obviously there’s a lot of places but that’s what stresses me out #at my old airport id go to the same one every time and i knew exactly what id get #sorry for being weird and dramatic but it’s just one of those things like. damn #life changes so much and you don’t even realize how many last times you had #:(#i think im just really coming to terms with the fact that i am in a new stage of my life #it’s not just another year of university or whatever. it’s like completely completely new and separate #and i think before i was so stressed about everything and like. the very obvious changes in my life #that i didn’t actually process. everything else #it was like NEW SCHOOL NEW CITY NEW PEOPLE #and I completely missed the fact that I’ll never have those old routines again…#sucks #what can you do

Oh that coffee idea is very fun

it is!!! it's also so so fun to get out and see new places, so it's enriching I think like, it's wild what you get sometimes. one time someone gave me an espresso drink with root beer and a cold foam top. it sounds dubious but genuinely i've become a regular at that place, it was so good

#i keep coming back so the owner can test new coffee drinks on me #and it's cozy!! it's really cozy!!!! a local place but. ngl getting out like that has helped me so much #it's also really fun in general when they start asking you questions about what you like or get really excited about their go-to drinks #and it's such a small thing that like #it's a safe method to step out of your comfort zone (at least for me)#either way. would recommend #frost talks
