“I cant not be a person and live my life and love the person I love” Can somebody PLEASE explain what this means? English is not my first language and I haven’t been able to figure out wtf this means since august

of course! in the most simple terms she says she does not want to hide her relationship with tom anymore even if it means that sometimes an intimate moment (a hug, a kiss, etc) will be caught on camera and shared with the world

it must be exhausting to deny yourself the simple things like holding hands or going on dates if you are in love with someone, as we all know Z is a very private person but she's accepted fans will be interested in her relationship so she's living her life the way she wants to and does not hide who she loves anymore, she and tom are at a place in their relationship where they are comfortable and secure enough to let the world in a tiny bit while still keeping most of their relationship completely to themselves

hey I don't know if this is allowed on here but I think I may possibly have covert NPD but I don't know if I'm trying to make myself seem 'different' or if I WANT something to be wrong with me.

I took a test that seemed to be pretty reliable and credible and I got 'very high possibility' but I'm still not sure. I'm also under 18 so I can't really get officially diagnosed and it would be beyond embarrassing if it turned out I was wrong so I don't want to reach out to anybody just to save myself of the embarrassment and humiliation.

I sorta just wanted to vent/rant and if you have any advice it'd be helpful..^^ thanks

First off. All kinds of cluster B are allowed on this blog. I do not cherrypick. You are allowed here.

It's okay that you're a minor, and if you make a mistake. Especially when it comes to self diagnosis, I know that well. But if you think you have it, you have it. You can't accidentally fake a disorder, I promise. The healthcare system is horrible anyway with people like us, so it's okay to never get an official diagnosis. Just do what you feel is important and right.

This is probably a silly question that makes no sense, but I wanted to ask, how do you write Rodrigue? I know you probably follow his canon actions in the games and take some of his dialogue, but what exactly *is* Rodrigue like when you write him? 👀 i kinda have a hard time visualizing him talking in my mind for example ^^U

Honestly I ask myself that every time I have to write this man, because the short answer is "I write him like a dad I think ???", and the longer answer is "fuck if I know, it depends on the scene, the characters he's talking to, the situation, the mood--"

so okay these are the rough steps I go through when I write Rodrigue:

I try to keep Rodrigue's in-game voice and speech patterns roughly in my head. Sometimes this means rereading the screenshots I took, and sometimes I actually listen to his voice lines to try to get a better sense of his intonation. I don't do this before EVERY chapter (or even that often), but I always like being able to hear the character say the lines I write.

I try to get a clear sense of what emotional state I want to portray for him at the start (and middle, and end) of the conversation.

I figure out who he's talking to, and what role he plays in relation to them. Example: although Rodrigue cares for both Felix and Dimitri, given Dimitri is his king, Rodrigue wouldn't joke around with him the same way as he would with Felix. He WOULD still show affection with Dimitri, but it would be a more respectful/low-key sort of care than making Felix wince with dad jokes.

Then I put all of those things together, start from the basic personality of "warm and affectionate (but respectful) father-figure who often provides guidance to others, but who can crack jokes or be more blunt around those he's comfortable with", and yolo it

I hope that helped! Also for comparison here are the steps I go through when writing Shez:

usually when you go to the doctor they write you a note for the day of the visit, but sometimes will write one for as many days as you'll be contagious. at all of the jobs I've worked (and I work in nonprofit/social services/higher ed, was a server for many year before that) your sick leave is separate from your vacation, but people will take their vacation for doctor's appointments or procedures (my experience is that vacation has to be asked for in advance). my last (horrible! despicable! haphazard and traumatic!) job doing medical social work didn't separate sick and vacation and lumped all of it under PTO ("Paid Time Off"), which means if you were sick often enough (we worked in hospitals) you just didn't get vacation. we also did not get paid holidays -- they were scheduled ahead and taken with PTO. (this is different for other places, which will close during holidays and not take hours from your sick or vacation bank, and usually if you are forced to work holidays you get extra compensation. this was just a particularly awful job.)

at jobs that are not salaried/are service jobs, you don't get either. if you don't go to work, you don't get paid, and it doesn't matter why you miss (you can get fired for missing, and most US states are "at-will" states, which means legally you can be fired for any reason unless proven in court to be a protected instance). service jobs also don't have holidays, which is not really related to sick leave, but relevant to how US time off works (set up to have us working all the time no matter what)

I think adults need summer vacation. Like let's just close down all our jobs for three months and play outside. Please. I'm so tired.

I don’t have a lot of experience with words of encouragement, but I want to try.

Drdt is legitimately the best fangan I’ve seen, and it inspires me to work harder for my own writing, be it danganronpa related or something completely original. I don’t mind waiting if it means drdt can keep being as good as it is, take all the time you need.

I could keep talking about how I loved everything about this chapter, about how I even liked the parts a lot of the fandom takes issue with, and about how I admire the strength it takes to listen to the critics despite the anxiety that comes with it. Like I said, words of encouragement aren’t my strength, and so I’ll end it here, but just know that I am glad you’re prioritising yourself over your work, you’re entitled to it by virtue of being a person.

As you may know, Chapter 2 of Danganronpa: Despair Time has finally concluded, after a long 3 years since the end of Chapter 1. Thank you to the staff members who made this possible and thank you to everyone who has stuck with me during this long journey! I was very nervous about a lot of things, so I hope that chapter 2 has been received well.

This is unfortunately where I have to talk about some bad news. DRDT is going on hiatus. In fact, it will probably be quite some time before I even begin work on chapter 3. I know this is probably disappointing news for many, I am terribly sorry. I will talk about some of the reasons behind why.

I felt as if there was a lot of mixed response to this chapter. Please know that I take your complaints seriously, I want to produce a work that can be enjoyed by everyone. In truth, I have no experience or education in writing or producing, and I do not even consider myself a "writer" or "producer." This is the first story I have attempted to write. I hope you can acknowledge that it is a long learning experience for me, and be lenient with the amateurish first work that is full of flaws. Even though DRDT has become a popular Fangan, it doesn't mean that in turn I have become an experienced creator. Because of my lack of experience, I have little confidence as a creator. When fans are dissatisfied with something that happened recently in DRDT, I worry about how they will respond to future episodes of DRDT. It is difficult to maintain faith in the decisions I make and I keep second-guessing myself, worrying about how something will be received. Working on chapter 3 in this state is too difficult.

I am also burnt out from working on DT. Even though it was once possible for me to draw multiple sprites in one day, now it is a struggle to even make a single sprite of a small face modification. Nearing the end it was difficult and painful to draw such things like the execution or closing argument. So it will probably be a while before I am even capable of writing or drawing for the DT main story again.

TL;DR: I don't foresee myself even beginning to work on DT Ch3 (including bonus episodes) for a very long time. I apologize for delivering this disappointing news. With this in mind, I will be working on and posting things that are not DT CH3. Some of this will relate to DRDT and some of it will not. I ask for your patience as I continue to create and gain experience as a creator. I hope that you can support these works too.

Thank you again to all those who have supported me and enjoyed my work. Please support the amazing staff who worked on DT as well, I am eternally grateful for their work. If my work was able to inspire you or move you or bring you enjoyment even a little, I would be happy.

the memes and jokes about biden dropping out are all great but PLEASE dont turn away and forget the victims of him directly funding a genocide. these are real people that are still being impacted by his cruelty, their tragedies are still ongoing and they need our support more than ever.

if I can suggest a Palestinian family to support, I'll highly recommend Yusuf and his family—who has been vetted for [here]. The GoFundMe breaks down the costs, including the urgent need for an eight year old child to have a kidney replacement, but only €8,404 is currently needed for his family to pay crossing and coordination fees!!

I Saw the TV Glow is such a uniquely, devastatingly queer story. Two queer kids trapped in suburbia. Both of them sensing something isn’t quite right with their lives. Both of them knowing that wrongness could kill them. One of them getting out, trying on new names, new places, new ways of being. Trying to claw her way to fully understanding herself, trying to grasp the true reality of her existence. Succeeding. Going back to help the other, to try so desperately to rescue an old friend, to show the path forward. Being called crazy. Because, to someone who hasn’t gotten out, even trying seems crazy. Feels crazy. Looks, on the surface, like dying.

And to have that other queer kid be so terrified of the internal revolution that is accepting himself that he inadvertently stays buried. Stays in a situation that will suffocate him. Choke the life out of him. Choke the joy out of him. Have him so terrified of possibly being crazy that he, instead, lives with a repression so extreme, it quite literally is killing him. And still, still, he apologizes for it. Apologizes over and over and over, to people who don’t see him. Who never have. Who never will. Because it’s better than being crazy. Because it’s safer than digging his way out. Killing the image everyone sees to rise again as something free and true and authentic. My god. My god, this movie. It shattered me.

Isha following Jinx to protect her during a suicide mission where Jinx to tries to get her away for "ruining" her plan.....where have i seen this before?

this is a poster i made for my call to action assignment in humanities! it's a bunch of basic and easy stretches for people who sit and work at a desk all day (me)

the idea is that you'd put the poster up above ur desk and do the stretches every 30 minutes or so,, the whole routine won't take more than about 6 minutes to complete and when done regularly it can prevent wrist, shoulder, neck and back pain! :)

all these stretches can be done while sitting (although i HIGHLY recommend you stand up and move around while taking a break from working)

you can get a free digital copy of this poster here on my gumroad!

and you can order a print/poster here from my inprnt!

When Senshi was young in the dungeon the majority of the adults he were with ostracized him. All except Gillin, who died to make sure Senshi had something to eat: unseasoned boiled meat that may or may not have been one of their comrades.

It really puts into perspective why he was so nurturing towards Chilchuck. When Chil reveals he’s 28 to the party, Senshi responds by telling him that he thought he was older. Senshi was in his 30s when he and his comrades got trapped in the dungeon, so it’s safe to assume that he thought Chil was at a similar age.

He met a young boy who was, from his perspective, forced to do dangerous work in the dungeon just like he was, and so, Senshi made an effort to look after Chilchuck in the same way Gillin looked after him.

Mind you, when Senshi was young in the dungeon he had to starve for weeks, eat the horse he loved, and finish it off spending the next i don’t know how many years wondering if he committed cannibalism.

Senshi understands first hand the value of nutrition and proper eating, so when he’s with the party he makes an effort to make sure they’re all eating a full and balanced diet. Not only that, but Senshi INVOLVES them in the process of getting food to eat, always preparing it in front of them and narrating every ingredient in the process so that there’s no doubt about what they’re eating.
