I always loved the texture for the MacLachlan contacts I made years back.

Brightened them up as an update.

I woke up three days in a row with the chorus of "behind these hazel eyes" stuck in my head, looping as soon as my eyes opened. I have not listened to this song in years

Soooo uhmmm... Hi?

First of all, I know there have been people trying to reach me over the past year and to all those I want to say: I'm really sorry for not responding when you reached out to me. It is not excusable in any way, but I want you to know that it wasn't out of malice or because I just didn't care enough. It is not an over-exaggeration when I say that all of you weighed on my mind and regularly showed up in my thoughts because you were such an important part of my life when I needed you most, which makes the way I handled everything even worse.

For the sake of transparency: I have been severely depressed since the beginning of last year, it's kind of hard to pin down exactly when it took a turn for the worse. I had phases where I thought it wasn't too bad, especially in the beginning but also throughout summer. In the fall, I went to study abroad for a couple months, which made everything even more stressful and hectic. Then the anxiety crept in and the thought of opening my Tumblr or Discord would almost send me into a panic attack because I knew I had let people down and I just couldn't handle it.

I stopped writing for the most part, which really really sucked because I thought I had gotten to a good place 2021, but alas, I just couldn't. I'm only now slowly picking up the metaphorical pen again, which I'm happy about. But I missed Tumblr, I missed my Fandoms, I missed my friends and Fandom-friends, and I just need to do something to get out of this shitty hole.

I want to start reblogging again, and commenting and messaging people that live all over the world, but I just couldn't do it without giving you a heads-up because that's the least I could do.

I know this is probably not enough to make amends and I don't expect it to be, but I want you to know, again, that my love goes out to all of you who have reached out, who have shared moments of their time with me, because I am grateful for that.

I can't promise that I won't just fall off the face of the earth again, because mental illnesses are kinda unpredictable--at least for me, still--but I will try to handle things differently from now on.

(I still haven't opened my Discord and it will probably still take a while until I do it, but I will do it at some point.)

I am very open about my mental illness and the way it has impacted my life and the people around me, so if anyone is interested or wants to share their own experiences or literally anything else, don't hesitate!

Thank you, and I'm sorry.

Love, Rain

I’m back in the Jackie Chan adventure fandom and lowkey disappointed the app looks like a damn period tracker and that there aren’t any ship names

Self Soothing

I was forced to self soothe as a child

Because my mother couldn’t soothe me

There was no space for anyone next to her.

I had my first panic attack at five

I thought I was dying

But there was no one I could turn to.

As I aged the heart palpitations and the cage of my mind grew

In severity and in causes

But my reactions grew smaller

To the point where you wouldn’t even know it’s happening

Now I know

Any time I think about anything

I have a blind panic

I for the first time in fifteen years know why I panic

It’s my mother’s voice in my head

Ridiculing me for not being perfect

I panic in an effort to get it to stop

And I withdraw into myself

Because in me is the safest place I’ve found

And I’m saddened that a little girl ever had to learn that.

[dxringred]

i don’t care how long it takes, as long as i’m with you, i’ve got a smile on my face

[skiaskai]

i couldn’t resist

buckle up lads we're going BACK INTO THE BOOK

Since I’m not seeing many posts about what’s happening in Venezuela, I will make one myself. Please do not turn a blind eye to their ongoing crisis.

First I will put you into context, please note that all this information is taken from posts, threads and statements made by Venezuelans so I will hyperlink each one of my sources.

From 2002 to 2013, Hugo Chávez was the president of Venezuela. Not only did he ruin the country’s economy, imprison people and remove liberty of speech in the country, but he also changed the constitution, allowing unlimited reelection. His regime became a dictatorship disguised as a democracy. Here’s an entire page about this period. (And you can read more searching “chavismo”)

After his death in 2013, Nicolás Maduro took the presidency. Venezuelans started protesting and, as a response, they were repressed and killed, universities were burned down and Venezuela became massively poor, people lacked basic needs (supermarkets were empty, increasing famine and malnutrition), hospitals lacked resources and, consequently, illnesses spread and infant mortality rates increased severely.

This Sunday, July 28th, 2024, elections were held and Venezuelans voted for Edmundo González to be the next president of the country. Exit polls expected him to win the elections.

Later, the revealed results were that Maduro had won with the 51,2% votes, while Edmundo González had only 44,2%. But, as of right now, already 75% of the electoral records confirm that Edmundo González was, in fact, the chosen candidate, meaning that Maduro once again cheated on the elections. This is electoral fraud. This is not a democracy, this is a dictatorship.

Now, Venezuelans are protesting and the government are once again repressing them. Civilians are being persecuted, attacked and killed. Innocent people are being arrested. The government is cutting their communication and are planning on cutting the electricity next.

I urge you to check this thread on Twitter by @/postmortemria. Her account is full of information about Venezuela and their crisis, please check her posts and share them to spread the voice. Try to raise Venezuelans’ voices and donate to them if you can.

At the moment, there aren’t many ways to help other than speaking up, but under this tweet you can find many talented artists and commissions are their way to make some money to pay for basic human needs. If you can, think about commissioning a piece or donating to them.

In addition, here’s another tweet with information to donate to the people affected in the protests. They’re in desperate need of assistance so anything can help.
