in all seriousness i know the shorts are only semi canon at best BUT. i think it's 10000% plausible that this shows just how rock bottom blitz's confidence is. like - he was riding high, teleporting all over the place when he was running on the pre blitzo sucks adrenaline high, & now ??? the crystal that is the literal symbol of how much he hates himself & everything he lost ??? he's gonna have trouble using that bad boy.

every time some relative tells me that i shouldnt be gay because god said no and that they "hate the sin love the sinner", a friend will ask if im okay. and the answer is probably no and i'll process it later, but i'll be damned if on the surface correcting these bitches' bible quotes and telling them im not in the business of sainthood aint one of the best feelings on the planet.

TLDR: do not read a loved one’s diary.

During Hurricane Helene while the power was out, I was rummaging around in the garage looking for rechargeable battery packs. They happened to be housed in a plastic tote with a number of small notebooks. I decided to take the notebooks and look through them while I sat in my car waiting for my phone (and power bank) to charge. They were mostly blank. Some were mine.

One was my mother’s therapy notes from 2016. I should have closed it and put it back when I noticed what it was. I wish I had. I didn’t. I read it. I’m fucking evil. I invaded her privacy and I read it. Most of it was things I knew she had thought and felt at the time but something hurt me. She called me selfish and self-centered several times. This wouldn’t bother me if she was calling 2024 me selfish/self-centered but I was a SUICIDAL FIFTEEN YEAR OLD at the time.

I spent the ages 12 to 18 essentially locked in my room. My parents had an extremely toxic relationship and whenever I left my room, I ended up in the middle of their arguments trying to mediate and trying to get my mom to leave my father. When I was 13, I remember her busting down my door to take my phone to call her boyfriend because my father had taken her keys and her phone and she had no way to escape the house because we lived in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors. She left that night and LEFT ME WITH HIM.

I didn’t leave my room because my parents would both get drunk and scream at each other and my dad would PUT HIS HANDS ON HER IN FRONT OF ME.

I begged her to leave him for years. I begged. She kept going back. She finally left him when I was 14 but by then I was already traumatized, actively suicidal and failing school due to the stress at home and my worsening mental health. She was not good with my suicidal ideations and spiraling mental health. She didn’t neglect me medically, I saw several different physiatrists and therapists and was on so many psychiatric medications that I cannot remember what I’ve tried and what worked and what didn’t. But whenever I reached out for help, looked to her for support, told her I was suicidal or too anxious to leave the house, she treated it like it was a manipulation tactic on my part. She treated me not like I was faking for attention but like I was faking to hurt HER. One time, when I was 14, I told her I was contemplating suicide and she DROVE AWAY AND LEFT ME ALONE IN OUR NEW HOUSE.

So I locked myself in my room and essentially greyrocked her. I didn’t listen to her problems anymore. I didn’t tell her my problems anymore. I told my problems to 20 and 30 somethings online on Skype and KIK. And she called me selfish and self-centered because I pulled away.

I understand she was an extremely emotionally injured, traumatized and abused woman but I was an extremely emotionally injured and traumatized child. A 15 year old child. A little boy who couldn’t trust and confide in either of his parents. But to her I was selfish and self-centered. Because I did not want to play psychiatrist anymore.

Our relationship only really improved in senior year/into my adulthood. My mental health improved and I learned to cope a little better. I still keep an element of emotional shallowness between us but we don’t fight anymore. I love my mom. I have no doubt my mom loves me. I just cannot trust her with my mental health. That’s okay.

But reading her therapy notes, which I only saw because my ass was snooping and violated her privacy, reopened some horribly healed wound within me and I’ve felt myself disconnect from her again? I don’t know how to explain it. I felt it but I don’t think I really realized what it was until she broke her foot on my birthday while I was home alone an hour and a half away. It’s like this emptiness. I’m struggling to respond to her texts and show appropriate concern and love and pour from that glass within me. I’ve withdrawn back into that snail shell, back into the safety of my own little sphere. And it shouldn’t be something I take out on her. All because I’m hurt by something she felt/wrote 8 years ago, something deeply personal that she expressed privately to a therapist and in her journal. Something I shouldn’t have read. This is so fucked up. I’m so beyond fucked up. I hate myself.

You know how i said nightmare can copy the noises of baby animals and stuff

Do you think after he best the fuck out of killers cats and made him get rid of them he sometimes copies their meowing and purrs just to fuck with him

My genuine reaction to reading this.

I can picture him trying to do this, but the second Killer catches on, he stops reacting completely. Goes blank, as if he didn’t hear a thing, and blatantly refuses to give any response or reaction—because that’s what Nightmare’s looking for here.

And he won’t give him that power. It’s actually really easy to stop caring and disengage—eventually Nightmare may find it boring enough to move on to something new or leave him alone temporarily.

So basically: Killer knows how to greyrock, and he does it well. Of course, it’d be a significant struggle to try and do this in Stage 1 and Stage 3 is just more likely to lash out in response to stress or any perceived threat, but if he’s in Stage 2–piece of cake.

How do you combat the anger? I know it's not fair but at times i feel angrier towards transwomen than towards non-trans men, just because their infiltration and control feels even more insidious and selfish. I have real compassion for people who transition in part due to homophobia but most of the out trans women I meet in my circle are straight and I can't help but greyrock them. It feels unfair to feel even angrier at a small minority but I guess it's the claustrophobia of it.

there was no need to apologize for this ask in your next one :) you're being quite hard on yourself for your feelings, which is basically convicting yourself of thought crimes. it's not a crime to feel angry. it sounds like you have great insight on where some of this anger might be unreasonable if you applied it to your overall worldview, took actions based on it, or formed opinions that didn't account for the nuances of the actual situation. but the anger itself doesn't need to be combatted. it's okay to be angry, and there's a lot to be angry about. you also don't need to not be angry at agps and i think it's a great instinct to shut them out in an easy and neutral way. it is claustrophobic, they are inherently sexist at baseline, and many of them go much further than just the inherent sexism of a man identifying as a woman in their behavior and treatment of women. so basically you're not doing anything wrong by having feelings, you're not doing anything wrong by withdrawing your energy for men who are inherently disrespecting your personhood and sex as a class, and you don't have to apologize for reaching out when you're feeling bad and wanting a kind word

Meghan pr released that the BRF WOULD tell her happy birthday officially on social media. What happened next? Greyrock……..! Poor Meghan. She only communicates by pr releasing to the tabloids…And the BRF wants nothing to do with her nor Harryhttps://https://ift.tt/Pn5OiCN archivehttps://archive.ph/0g4Bx post link: https://ift.tt/NZafFbw author: Ruth_Lily submitted: August 05, 2024 at 05:43PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit disclaimer: all views + opinions expressed by the author of this post, as well as any comments and reblogs, are solely the author's own; they do not necessarily reflect the views of the administrator of this Tumblr blog.

What if during ROs love confessions to MC, MC just sort of greyrocked them? Like 'Mmhh...anyways-' and went back to talking to whatever they were before? And later it turns out that MC thought they were being mean-spirited and asking them out as a joke, which is why they reacted like that? Maybe MC just has been burnt like this in the past many times 🤷‍♀️

Jewel would take it as a rejection and would never bring it up again, even if she had an inkling that MC didn’t mean it. She’d think about it all the time, though, entertaining all the reasons as to why MC did what they did

Reed, since they know each other like forever, would know if MC had a situation like this in the past, but he’s also stupid when his feelings are concerned so he’d take it as a ‘no,’ too, and he’d be glad to see MC is acting normal afterward, bc at least they can return to the status quo and act like they did before (he also thinks MC already knows he’s into them, so nothing much would change)

Laurent would be so confused, but he’d assume he misunderstood something and his confession must have inconvenienced MC in some way, so he’d keep it to himself from there on out

Nino would ignore & avoid MC afterwards, bc it’d cost her a LOT to be/act vulnerable, and if MC just brushed it off, she’d be super ashamed and super gutted

Flavio’d be like ‘fair enough,’ bc he knowssss it’s a stupid idea to confess so just it serves him right for taking the plunge

Alan, kinda depends on the confession and circumstances, bc he could be just pikatchu face and try again, or he’d be hurt like Nino, and react similarly to her

Ramblings about mental health. Feel free to skip.

It's insane how little I allow myself to talk about myself and my interests irl. I think it's because I've always been made to feel bad/evil/selfish/sociopathic for wanting to share the things that bring me joy.

I love music and concerts but people in my life legitimately think I don’t listen to music. I love painting but most people are surprised I can draw. I never under any circumstances talk about my love of history with people irl because the second I do, I get the most negative reaction imaginable.

I've gotten so good at hiding myself that no one in my life can name a single thing I like. When asked what I do like, I greyrock and parrot their own interests back to them. This satisfies most people because they love hearing about themselves, and it means they stop paying attention to me. It gives them less of a reason to hurt me.

Hiding myself full-time is exhausting, and is why I'm so severely burnt out, but I know deep down it's just not safe to be myself around others. I just can't trust others with who I am at all. This is not from paranoia, this is from severe physical, sexual and psychological abuse that has shaped how I interact with others.

I use tumblr because it's pretty much the only place where I'm not being made to feel guilty about breathing everyone else's oxygen. Yet I'm still anxious every time I think about posting stuff to do with my fic because who tf wants to hear about that? Truly? Idk I'm barely human at this point anyway.

Analysis ( Spin off Rookie Season Epsiode 11: Iron Tanker ) RANT!!!!!!

This is ONE of the reason I consider the rookie season is bunkers!

Twisting Tiger, North Shaw and Big Bo are total assholes!!!!

Now, I am not the type of person that expects someone to be a ‘holier than thou’ attitude. Even I will be cringe out but damn, they made these three so damn unlikable!!

Twisting Tiger is supposed to be wiser! Yes, he made a valid point not to show aggression by not bringing up the spy episode but he supposed to know Skarra screams red flag instead of blaming Shakes for luring him to the tank!

Big Bo with his pretentious noble attitude. He guilt trip Shakes and gaslight him from the Hydra episode ( Still Rookie Episode ) about letting go and treat Shakes like he’s the damn instigator!!!

I hate how they make it as thought Shakes was a sinner by him recalling Big Bo’s gaslights ( not advice ) about his hatred for Skarra!

North Shaw, yeah, he’s kind of an asshole at times so I didn’t expect him that much but still he’s a Supa Strikas, who preached about brotherhood but now, yeah, look sus.

Wanna know something?? I expect these reactions from Cool Joe and El Matador! But from the last few episodes, they treat Shakes much tamer and formed much healthier bond with Shakes!

Automatic, yeahhh screw him. Sure it sucks that Supa Strikas Higher Ups considered replacing him but he treat like Shakes have a say in it. He’s a total asshole but I will greyrock him because we ALL EXPECT him to treat Shakes like shit but not these three!

I gotta say, Shakes is much forgiving than I will give credit but if it were to really happen to any complex and flaw individual, they will reconsider rejoining next season or just straight out analyzing who you like or you least like.

I need different people takes on this:

Omegaverse illnesses.

I already saw some, like the greyrocking by pack-the-pack and the allolfactory syndrome (I don't remember the blog name) but I need more.

I want see more of this. What causes disease X? Does it affects any dynamic or just one in specific? Does it just affects pups or grown-ups too? Does it have a cure? What are the symptoms? What are the treatments?

In short: I want to see more omegaverse illnesses/medical takes.

To the person who sent this ask first, I'mma do a big post to talk about diseases and disorders.

I probably won't answer every question you are asking in your ask, but there will be a general idea of what each ailment entails.

Keep an eye out, I'll post it eventually.

[dexalyys]

Hey! anon who kept asking about the askpsf blog now back with a actual lore question!!!😎

Since Willows been described as violate and would probably fight ya if ya said anything remotely hinting at a possibility that she isnt as good as he claims to be- would she ever actually get aggressive with sharkie if they said anything like that to her face or would he just like.. Ignore them or smth like that???🤔

oooohhhohohoo good question! i’ve actually thought about this scenario before—considering they do have an argument in the planned script—and i figured there’s actually a lot of different ways that it could go:

A) will brushes off the claim entirely and makes it out like sharkie is overreacting or saying things just to upset her and that they’re in the wrong for doing that

B) she becomes paranoid that they’re going to hurt her and either physically cowers by making herself look smaller than them (if in public) or stands on her tiptoes to tower over them with her shoulders raised like a cat fluffing itself up. she does this to other people too and it looks really fucking funny in a pathetic way from a distance. she yells back a lot but doesn’t act physically

C) if sharkie threw a punch, he would probably only scratch them or pull their hair/clothes in defence. he can’t bring himself to do anything more than that. this isn’t a sharkie-specific thing either, will is just a coward

D) greyrocking. lune just doesn’t react to them other than to insinuate that they’re making themself look crazy until they give up

tldr; she’d most likely ignore them, but otherwise she’s too much of a pussy to retaliate. he’s a more verbal kind of guy anyway. lots of yelling and empty threats

Patch's tail flicked as he listened, it did sound like a difficult task... but Gritt had chosen his brother for a reason. Patch didn't roll over. "I maaaaay have insulted someone's coat saying they should get a refund, after they called me a beast and dirty, and said the coat was worth several of my generations lives. I'll try greyrocking in future."

"Guess... I have at least one Goetia whos willing to work with me." Paimon, while an ass given their previous conversations... was giving him a shot. "I'm gonna be honest, I don't know what to make of you. But you care about Lucifer, and his family. You also care about keeping Hell safe... we might not see eye to eye on a lot of stuff, but I'm going to need yours and Lucifer's help to make some of my ideas workable. And alongside Lucifer, it was your idea too to give me this position."

Vine did ask him to be careful though, and he'd keep that in mind. "Gritt always said I was the more likeable of the two of us, I'll see what I can do. If... I need more advice, am I alright on coming to you?"

The plan: convince diavolo to make therapy part of the exchange program and that the brothers also need to do it so the exchange students don't feel singled out

option one: lucifer greyrocks the therapist for the entire session. he is participating in therapy, just not talking. he wins.

option two: therapy turns into his bitching hour. nobody's safe. the poor therapist has to do mental cartwheels, acrobatics and contortions to get lucifer back on track.

option three: family therapy or: how to break a therapist in thirteen easy steps
