I think the funniest difference between book and show lockwood, if you have a screwed up sense of humor like me, is their reaction to death. like:
*show lockwood is having a panic attack on the roof because a man with a family died*
meanwhile, book lockwood in the exact same scene: *stabs a man, rapier (and man) fall out of window*
lockwood: fcking damnit
Lucy: what happened
lockwood: my sword fell
another example:
show lockwood, staring mesmerized at carvers death glow with a haunted look in his eyes: he's dead... another life lost....... meaninglessly.....
book lockwood, who just finished going through carver's pockets for cash, tea bags, and a sharpened pencil: WRITE THIS SHIT DOWN LUCE WE COULD BE IN THE PAPER
#ok I know the carver part is an exaggeration but still#I think the main difference is#book lockwood is “go go go no time to dwell on the past!!” and show lockwood is “stop stop stop I'm trapped in my head again!"#slow down! wait up! all that jazz#all different coping mechanisms#lockwood and co#the whispering skull

*forcibly breaking the Avatar comics into tiny, usable pieces and taking what I can to reconfigure them into something resembling a setup for this comic because it seems like it will be fun*
#ursa just hooked up with someone else while she was on her own#maybe she did lose her memories#but also she definitely killed azulon herself#and she and ozai had a fairly healthy relationship#and she was evil too#but she found a good life with her memories erased#maybe she realized how terrible of a person she was when she wandered outside of the Fire Nation or among the peasants#and had her memory wiped to cope#changed her face#settled down#and then decided to bravely come back and face who she was#......dangit I'm so mad because that would have been SUCH A BETTER DYNAMIC#give Zuko's family a FOURTH messed-up person#just have them all be a quartet of Balanced Mental Health#Narcissism Denial Perfectionism and everything else is zuko#ashes of the academy#ursa#meanwhile zuko and mai broke up because mai just wasn't ready for the ROYAL SPOTLIGHT#she's seventeen or eighteen years old being co-ruler of an empire was something she wasn't supposed to worry about until her thirties#at the earliest#she's just figured out that the fire nation is evil#how is she supposed to be ready to help that nation out? the heck???#she's lived in privilege she's not ready to accept the consequences

Wait crying again bc I was rewatching The Intruder today (episode 4 of season 1) and I realized that like. The glyphs represent a few things in the narrative but one thing that's consistent is they're always there when Luz doesn't feel like she's good enough on her own. They appear to her as comfort in moments of self depreciation or self doubt, or she coincidentally learns them in episodes where she faces her fear of rejection or makes a mistake (at least this is true in terms of the first four base glyphs she discovers). It's the titans way of saying "you may have to do things differently, but you can do anything they can do" to Luz bc he cares about her
AND THEN. IN WATCHING AND DREAMING. WHEN THE TITAN PASSES ON AND THE GLYPHS DON'T WORK ANYMORE. IT'S BECAUSE NOW LUZ FINALLY FEELS LIKE SHE'S GOOD ENOUGH, ALL ON HER OWN. SHE'S LEARNED THAT SHE HAS INTRINSIC WORTH AS A PERSON AND SHE DOESN'T NEED TO MAKE UP FOR WHO SHE IS. SHE MIGHT DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY BUT SHE CAN DO EVERYTHING ANOTHER WITCH CAN DO- THIS TIME WITH HER OWN, MORE PERSONAL ACCESSIBILITY TOOL (HER PALISMEN) INSTEAD OF THE ONE THE TITAN GAVE HER. MAN!!!!!
#ramblings of a lunatic#the owl house#toh#toh meta#luz noceda#the glyphs are there for everyone who doesn't feel good enough#eda and lilith after losing their magic...the kids overcome with exhaustion and fear in watching and dreaming#hell you could even argue that philip uses them to cope with the unspeakable horror that these non-person witches-#-could be better than him at something! gasp! the audacity!#he uses them to harm and co-opts the titans language to make sure that no witch could have a chance of thinking they're better than him#(bc again. philip is not afraid of witches. he hates this. his background is not a literal investigation into Christian superstition-#-it is a non-literal parallel to modern day conservatives.)#(they're afraid of what they don't understand but much more than that they hate it-#-that's why you can't change their opinions solely w/ rhetoric and argument)#ANYWAY. I've heard some ppl stressing over the amount of ppl being vocally negative in the maintag recently#and i see it too. think it's just a thing that happens when shows end? ppl pop out of the woodwork to be like#''well i never liked it in the first place!''#like. okay. good for you ig#anyway i hope this sparks some joy in the maintag instead#that's all I'm here to do#i stopped watching the episode to type this post i should go finish it

Heads-up for new followers
We are anti-endo. If you are pro-endo do not interact; it's right there in our pinned post. We don't want to interact with supposed systems who claim not to have a mental illness. Period. This also applies to anyone who supports Radqueers or is "neutral" towards them. Radqueers literally welcome pedophiles and zoophiles into their midst - if you are anything but against this we'd advise seriously re-assessing your view of consent. Our DNI goes both ways. If we've blocked you recently and you're circumventing it to find out why, this is probably why. - Terry & Dr. Brewer
#We check new followers' blogs because we like to follow back if you make fun posts#But every so often it turns up something like... this#I'm not really the best at coping with these feelings but I'm trying my best to try and help my co-fronter - Dr. B#I really appreciate it - Terry#Shit Terry Says#Steaming Cup Of Science

It's interesting to think about how the Problem might unite the different Christian denominations. I don't know if it would erase all the problems/conflicts/arguments on doctrine and so on and so forth, but I'd like to think that different churches would come together to help the larger community against this new supernatural threat. It would be interesting to see new collects for child agents in the Prayers of the People in Anglican liturgy, cross-denominational fundraisers for orphans and widows, new systems for adopting or taking in those who've lost parents/spouses/siblings/caretakers, church basements turned into shelters, the way priests might bless houses, how the exorcists might function within the agency frame, Catechism classes adapted for the young agents' schedules, adjustments and changes to prayer books, the added weight of mourning during Lent and Advent, what services during Holy Week and Hallowtide would look like...
#lockwood and co#perhaps i'm thinking too deeply on this but i DO think religion has a place in this universe#and it isn't your general 'people can't cope with reality and so they turn to faith' sort of angle#writing adventures

#super freaking out cos my friend who is a vet has offered me a job at her practice as a care assistant#so my job would just be to do all the little jobs. help looking after the animals. cleaning. sometimes calling patients etc#it's a fantastic opportunity but it looks so much more difficult then anything i've ever done before#and on the one hand i'm like ''yes! i love animals! i need a steady income! this is perfect!''#but on the other... i haven't been at my current job that long. so it feels like a dick move to up and leave.#i don't know if i'd be able to cope with the animals dying all the time. some of the stuff i'd have to do looks really technical#and i'm scared i'll do it wrong (eg put the wrong label on the wrong medicine) and it'll lead to an animal dying#like it's a proper full time monday-friday 9-5 kinda gig#which is great cos my current job is a ''are we gonna give you more than 2 days next week?? who knows! it's a supprise!!''#and that situation is stressing me out. so i do need something different#but this is like a proper serious job. and idk that's scary#plus my friend would be my boss. which i don't mind. but i dont want her to vouch for me and then i'm terrible at it...#cos that's not fair on her#they've offered me a trial shift next week. so i guess i could do that and just scope it out..#it also feels like nepotism which doesn't super sit right#but it's not a sure thing. the other vets and practice owners have to agree and they may not like me. it's not like i have experience#and it's only a low paid position so if its nepotism its not like... super beneficial nepotism...#sigh. i know i should go for it. just last time i went for a big different job like this it ended badly#and i ended up back in retail.#so i don't wanna go thru that all again#but i also dont wanna stay working in this shop forever. it wouldn't be too bad if only i had regular hours. .#and i knew what those hours were more than a week in advance#i know this is like.. a non-problem. i'm just stressing about it#plus its making me feel guilty whenever i go into my current job. like i'm cheating on them#i do need that regular income tho#screams in anxiety

either gonna remake again in the future and hand out the url privately or gonna clean out the followers list again me'thinks. so if you wanna stay mutuals and plan on writing w/ me in the future when I can actually dedicate time to doing so w/out any stressors or anxiety spikes then please, slap that heart real quick for me.
if not, it was a pleasure to write and talk for a bit and wish y'all good luck on your future endeavors 'n stuff.
#010 //: out of character.#am I trying to make it easier and less anxious on myself to write here? yes. why? too much trauma w/ discord rp servers to warrant trying#and tbh I shouldn't feel pressured or afraid to even post stuff here thinking that I'm gonna get harsh words or nasty side-eyes despite#the content not even being that bad or triggering at all compared to other things I've seen on my dash.#long story short i wanna be here but something is making me feel unwell/not be here but can't pin-point the cause so the solution is to wip#didn't I do something like this last month? yes. everyone has their coping mechanisms. mine is mhw and seeking the once a month validation#'cos it either feels like i'm just a number to most people or just the one partner they decide to write w/ 'cos their bored or something#I wanna be someone's fav. who they scream to @ 3am about muses and hcs not just another number to their follow count :(#all in all? I will reblog this the next few days just to ensure that everyone just a fair chance as this makes it's rounds before commencin#the purge/remake just as a /FAIR WARNING/.

oh so that's why my allergies are flaring up, it seems my dashboard is going up in flames!
very glad i'm not a part of that drama, and i hope my mutuals that are are doing well in the face of it.
#it's strange to think. i was very much thinking of joining that server since i first saw hexed and june co-owned one#would i be roped into this too if i had? i sure as hell wouldn't be able to cope with the stress if i were...#june- if you're reading these tags. you're an absolute legend for having it in you to write such a big response#to someone so aggressively accusing you and so many of my other friends of Being Bad for reasons i've skimmed past and will never care to l#and if the person/party that *did* the accusing is still following me... the next tag is for you.#now's a good chance to leave. i'm not taking that shit towards my friends. if what i've heard is true...i don't want you around here anyway#that's all i'll say on the matter.

i want to hear abt ur atla side characters rarepairs 🥺👉👈
OHOHOHOHOHOHOHO you WILL be regretting this ok SO
it all starts with jetko. because i love them. zuko is a pretty major character, so we're ignoring him <33 its jet that matters. he's such a guy. i love him. hes the worst. he's poor little meow meow personified. i mostly just ship the two of them together in the way that they get so codependent that the lines r super blurred and all they know is they hate eachother but CANNOT be separated. and they're pretty damn rarepair-y if the tag has anything on it (like. five new posts a week, compared to the. number of posts in the atla tag by the hour)
going off of jetko, the whole lot of freedom fighters together as a big ole loser squad that bullies eachother affectionately, similar to the divorce squad we have going on- and longshot and smellerbee can have smth if they want idc rlly. but THEN we throw jin in the mix. for chaos and funsies. her and smellerbee have not even heard of eachother in cannon. do i care though? NO because they deserve to meet eachother be weirded out completely then become friends and make fun of their respective losers together. and they do. in my heart
i call this friend group the ba sing se squad and i have a whole storyline in my head all about them because I'm obsessed with them. i will find a way to throw ty lee and mai in the mix too because longshot and mai would get along great. and jin would LOVE to meet/befriend/kiss someone who actually was in fact in the circus (cough unlike zuko cough) and ty lee would gladly reciprocate.
okay that's it with my incoherent probably ooc rambling.... for now.
#you asked for rhis. i simply delivered#gonna tag this as atla cos it is. hopefully not too many people will see it but eh. we'll cope#atla#hello atla fandom!!! it has been awhile! I've returned against my will and I've come back crazier#I'll tag tjis as jetko too cos i know there's plenty who have the ship blocked and thays fair honestly.#I'm just derangef#jetko#look I'm just very very unwell about the freedom fighters. i adore them so much#i guess i shoul tag the specific characters too?#freedom fighters#atla jet#atla jin#they're the ones i ranted the most about#if I'm lucky I'll be normal enough to actually post abt them in the future instead of just thinking and chewing on wood#so I'll make. a tag for this train of thoughts of mine#ladles ba sing se squad#has a nice ring to it I'd say. idk.#i apologize for going insane#ALSO IM SO EMO ABT LEE. THE LITTLE LEE THAT ZUKO MET THAT KID#GOD. GOD I WANT TO SEE HIM AGAIN JIST GOR A LITTLE BIT. SEE HOW HE IS#and I'm also very very emo about zuko and azula. god. I'm just. so insane about ig. like my god. the siblings ever.#AND LU TEN. THE GIRLIE THAT HAUNTS THE NARRATIVE#anyways bye. see you. later. aougohigohuogh *drowns*#ladle? atlaposting? after all this time? it's more likely than you think!

writing a silly little fanfic story and making my self insert character elrond's special little guy protege lol
#what if a fictional highly respected father figure thought i was the shit and bequeathed his extensive library to me lol#i'm sure writing all this is some sort of weird coping mechanism cos i can literally feeling myself withdraw from the real world#like i did when i was a kid and i honestly don't know how to stop it and don't know if i even want to#so like... i dunno... i just sort of don't want to feel sad scared and confused all the time lol so going to write silly shit#also gave myself a companion so there's that too ha! wish fulfillment

DM literally asked my party if they're going to spend the one of the very few session we have (due to scheduling issues 🤣) arguing and blaming each other 🤣
^ she's specifically talking to my friends who play Rockerboy and Exec. And both of them were like "YES >:U " 🤣
The rest of us didn't stop them from arguing cos it's honestly funny how they try to stay in character, but they will always end up becoming petty and make irl jabs at each other 🤣
Exec says this is Rockerboy's fault for escalating the situation and telling everyone in the club that Exec is hosting a street race
But Rockerboy says it's Exec's fault for challenging the Wraiths leader NPC in the first place and he was just trying to prevent a shootout and make it hard to the leader to "play dirty" cos his pride is on the line now
As my Netrunner, I'm on no one's side. I know they are my chooms, but this is literally none of my business. I'm just here to collect my pay cheque from Exec (since he's my fixer)
^ I know he's annoyed that I'm not backing him up and the only thing I added to the conversation was reminding him what my rates are for helping him with anything
Rockerboy is also annoyed that I'm not on his side. But I told him he's my best friend, but he's an idiot. I don't publicly associate or side with idiots (unless he is offering to pay me to side with him)
#when am I getting paid#I need the money for therapy cos I'm lying to the party about my Netrunner's Humanity again#she's acting like she's okay but she's still struggling with her brother's death#therapy is the only thing keeping the psychosis at bay#she's really not okay#I'm playing up the coldness and sarcastic remarks more recently cos I feel like that's how she's cope with her self doubt and guilt :(#I think my friends who play Solo and Rockerboy are starting to catch on that my Netrunner isn't okay 😅#personal#cyberpunk red

good news!
you don't need to clean your room head to toe. you can just clean it a little. If you know where a trash can is, you can just grab some trash and throw it away. Not even all the trash, just some of it. You can gather your dishes in a pile. don't need to do anything with the dish pile if you can't right now, you can just pile it up. and look! now there's room on your desk to get some of the stuff off your bed, so now you can sleep without worrying about knocking something off.
sometimes brain gets stuck saying "I CAN'T clean my whole room right now so what's the POINT?" the point is if you remove a couple (just a couple) pieces of trash then your dresser looks nicer, and you get a little happier, and you get a tiny bit more energy. and you're DONE! you cleaned! you can even do that again if you'd like, energy permitting. another little trash or piece of laundry into the hamper.
if you're looking at this and thinking "easy for you to say, I Need to clean my whole entire room [insert some self-insult or piece of guilt here]" then I have a challenge especially for you! My challenge for you is to go right now and throw away 1 piece of trash, OR gather a couple dishes into a neat pile, OR put 1 piece of laundry in the hamper. (if the hamper's full to bursting it can handle 1 piece of laundry. 😉) AND THEN STOP. You're now free from having to clean!
see? you can just do a little bit. and it's still doing it. and it's still better than before and it still counts.
idk how to end this. I love u and I believe in u 😘
#this post sponsored by I have a cold but I finally managed to organize my trash and dishes after ignoring them for over a week#co-sponsors include I grew up with horrible executive dysfunction and now that I've figured out how to do chores on a normal day#I'm now finding out that I need to re-learn how to cope with it on bad days#anyway my bed's clean and I'm using my desk for the first time in a while! whoo
