Max in the cool-down room was giving autistic who is anxious to make his friend feel better, but is unable to say anything socially acceptable so defaults to saying random positive facts

I feel like I should be sadder by now because of the break up but I just feel kind of ready to stop thinking about her. Like honestly it’s more annoying how much I still keep thinking about her even, rather than sad or mad or anything like that. Like I just want to be over her at this point.

there’s nothing more attractive than someone who doesn’t want to be with me 😏

As per usual, it’s DP crossover with (probably) DC, although you could probably adjust it for other fandoms

ANYWAYS

A little kid and his mother are trick or treating in another city, perhaps at some kind of event rather than knocking on doors, and the kid is dressed as Phantom. It’s very adorable, with his little ghost-shaped bucket and clearly homemade and already stained costume—listen, white only works if you can just fly over street grime or phase it out of your clothes—and his slightly I’ll fitting wig. The kid is SO happy to be out and about dressed as his favorite, and maybe even showed it off to Phantom back in Amity Park before his family left.

The hero, insert whoever you wish here, is probably in civvies and just enjoying the event. The kid, meanwhile, is so glad when people ask who he is so he can explain, and so- the hero gets to hear ALL ABOUT the local town hero who is probably pretty small time despite the kid’s clearly exaggerated stories. The hero certainly never heard of him, but the kid’s mom confirms that Phantom really was the town hero, despite some mixed reviews of the poor guy.

“Did you manage to show him your costume?” the hero asks.

“Yeah! We went down to the cemetery to leave flowers and I got to show him my costume.”

Wait. Cemetery? Maybe it was part of theme, because Phantom had to be named that for a reason, but… it sounded like…

The kid ignores the suddenly VERY still hero and instead turns to his mom. “Momma, do you think we should bring him candy? He doesn’t get to trick or treat like we do, and I can work super hard to get him a bunch!”

The kid’s mom just smiles. “We could, but maybe we should bring him something homemade. I bet he’d like something more filling, teen boys like him have a hollow leg.”

The kid wrinkles his nose. “Like Vernie with the pizza bagels?”

“Like your cousin, yes. We can make some cinnamon rolls and take them to his memorial, maybe bring some of the apples from your grandpa’s garden…”

The hero is pretty much forgotten as the two-part family wanders off, not quite intentionally forgetting the hero is there so much as the hero somewhat accidentally ended the conversation when they just froze and didn’t ask anything further.

Not that the hero didn’t want to. But they’d learn something very serious.

One—there was a small town hero they’d never heard of. Two—that hero was apparently a teen. Third—most pressingly, the teen hero was both beloved enough to have kids dressing up as him and dead enough to have a grave.

This… might require some phone calls.

Literally this!!!! Not everything has to be a side hustle!!!!

When we approach fun things in this way they become tasks and then they’re less fun and we don’t want to do them as much so we end up with dangerously few hobbies and things to take our minds off of our work.

That’s why we can wind up feeling empty and dispassionate about the things we once loved (a caveat to that is obviously that aside from that depression (and other things of course but I’m speaking from personal experience when it comes to depression) makes you dispassionate about things you love, so keep an eye on that) so it’s actually really important to just have stuff that you like to do, and do it for the sake of making your soul happy.

Don’t make your leisure time additional work time.

i keep seeing 21draw ads on insta and this dude is saying we won't believe how his new hobby (drawing) got him a raise at work and I wanna reach into the screen and shake him violently because what happened to having hobbies just because you enjoy them? What happened to having hobbies for hobbies sake? What happened to not monetizing every aspect of our lives?????

Rbr publicly ‘limiting’ Max’s time in the sim after he won in Imola wid even more hours logged in Iracing and less sleep, became like the 20th? top FIFA player in the world during COTA 2021 and wud famously play for hours every gp that season. They’re punishing him. That’s a punishment. wid Newey gone, a car they don’t know how to upgrade, a fractured team, and torger this close to an actual restraining order they’re choosing to antagonize Jos verstappens kid. Ok

Awesome idea, Kinito! Let’s work on the wording

[edandstede]

I grew up with debilitating anxiety and PTSD which continued through my teens and into my adulthood, and only in the past 2 years or so have I been medicated for it and actively trying to overcome daily challenges. Most days I couldn’t even check out in a shop by myself or go anywhere alone without being overcome by fear.

Happy, positive post under the cut:

Today I got 2 trains by myself and spent the journeys happily nose-deep in a book for an hour and a half, got food by myself in a big city and ate it contentedly swinging my legs in my seat while I watched a talented man play piano in the train station, made friends and travelled to a show together with them, exchanged details so we can keep in touch, and danced with the strangers around me at said show.

You might read that and think “I do those things all the time” and wonder what the big deal is, but to me it’s life-changing. When I say I couldn’t do those things before, I’m incredibly serious. I’d become tense, anxious, sweaty, in fight-or-flight mode with a racing heart at the smallest exchanges and situations so many others could handle in their sleep. I wasn’t a man who could just befriend people that easily, or order a drink at a bar without fumbling, or sit alone in a theatre with no friends beside me as a buffer — and even with friends there, I’d still have anxiety creeping in. It’s held me back for my whole life and stopped me enjoying things confidently and in full.

I navigated a solo trip, without any trouble at all, and did so with a huge smile on my face and a spring in my step the whole time, and I’m so unbelievably happy with the progress I’ve made. And I just really wanted to share that here, because I’m proud of myself for working really fucking hard not to let anxiety and trauma limit me anymore, and become a happier, fuller, braver person because of it. :•)
