Thinking about the whole complaint that so many characters these days are too self-aware about their mental health, or use modern therapy-language in an unrealistically casual way.

I think part of this is we've forgotten that it's possible to write about characters (to use our modern language) healing from trauma without using therapy language to describe their experiences.

But the thing is, people have been writing about mental health for thousands of years. Thomas Hoccleve describes himself having what we would call a mental breakdown. Margery Kempe's book of visions opens with her going through post-partum depression. But the language they use is different because of when they lived.

So in light of that, I think it's important to consider what language your character would realistically use.

This just hit me. And this is just about hair and eye colors.

Tomura has red eyes and used to have blue hair. Dabi has blue eyes and used to have red hair.

When Tomura was younger he had black hair. When Dabi was younger he had white hair.

When they got older, they switched hair colors. Dabi had black hair and Tomura has white.

Now, both have white hair.

What if by the end, Dabi chooses to have black hair again and Tomura's somehow goes back to black?

the best way i can describe fyolai is that they just so happen to be a compatible brand of weird and that's why they perceive each other in a way that literally nobody else does, yet at the same time they are so fundamentally contradictory to each other as individuals that there is no possible path for them other than mutually assured destruction

I can't think of any stupid jokes for today's Mushy May prompt so I'm trying to choose one of the bonus prompts. "First Kiss" is calling to me...

Orrrr I'll cheat and reblog one of the Lucifer's Hollow drabbles I posted a month or so ago hehe

Every single 15-year-old is actually the most singularly oppressed, misunderstood, troubled, and unique person to have ever lived and nobody understands you or will ever understand you. And then you're not 15 anymore and all of a sudden maybe everyone isn't so different after all and there are people who understand you and maybe we all have more in common than we think and maybe the people you pass on the street each have just as much of a complex and interesting life as yours, and maybe, just maybe, this inevitably complicated web of human relationships and commonality is a thing of beauty.

blankie needs only a cozy corner and mini corn-dogs and blueberry fanta 2 live a happy life, o great ruler of da dreamy sea also oooOHOHOHOOO I see I see!! another question, the whole....sleep paralysis demon thing from our childhood (read da prologue) ive gotta say its so....its SO fun, taking the whole like, woah person in ur room not doing anything watching u 2 a whole new level, i just KNOW if i encountered an entity similar to that from my childhood in my dreams i would be. weirdly ecstatic because childhood horrors are always just....more fearful? because you were younger and it felt more deadly and dangerous and like the world was ACTUALLY going to end due to the intense adrenaline and instinct responses so like, the idea of meeting an entity similar to the thing that haunted my childhood but seemingly....different, perhaps not even the same? Id get such a big nostalgia trip in the weirdest and fondest way possible like it'd be a bit into the whole dreaming with traum and id go u know u remind me of this terrifying sleep issue i had when I was kid and honestly its kinda cool :D!! uuuhhh, oopsie i went on a tangent! how do they feel about horror media :0?? -blankie

hmmm. That is a very neat way of looking at this! To be honest I have not thought about it this way before. This gives me ideas.

Oh They would love that. "Really? You think I am cool?" Traum just hugs you and snothers you in their quilted cape.

I love horror. Especialy supernatural and paranormal stuff. And to no ones surprise at all I am really into cosmic horror. Ever since I discovered the Cthulhu Mythos I have been fascinated by the concepts. Just things beyond our comprehension that are so much bigger than us and we are to them but ants on a dirt ball flying through space. I also enjoy fantasy horror a lot. I am really into Fae related stuff. Tricksters and pranksters. They lure you in with promises and then rip your heart out. Traum was inspired by fae and by old German fairytales. A friend of mine once comparen them to the story of the Wolf and the seven goats and honestly that fits so well.

Wait wild thought but remember that panel of jian yi's mom holding baby jian yi while talking(?) idk to someone with bloody hands, presumably jian yi's dad? well now I'm thinking he might be in jail somewhere since he's shown to actually care about being the bad guy and how auntie sees his "job", maybe he tried to redeem himself that way so that's why he's gone for the time and auntie now has to deal with jian yi's grandfather who is still very much in that business

Currently designing Prefect's overblot form... Apparently the hardest part is figuring out the patterns on her face. I don't really have that much ideas here. Most characters had their ink patterns somewhere on the forehead, but her forehead is already covered by the iron headband/diadem/whatever the thing I'm drawing is...

The next thing is that it probably won't be as delicate and elegant as other characters have it, purely because of the style... Since Prefect is the representative of an ancient entity, the aesthetic of her design reflects that and is more rough around the edges.

It's valentine's season but I just went ahead and posted an angsty au 😂 and i don't even have any valentine-themed fic lined up... well i have one but it's plotless and literally a blank page so idk when that will happen 🤡

I forgot to put in the tags for that au fic but I finally made Gaku cry ↜(ˈ╰ •ω•)╯

Idk why but I just have this feeling that I wanted to make him cry, which is why my first fanfic was abt Futaba's death, but Gaku didn't cry there or maybe he did but he did not do it on my fic bc Futaba (I) told him not to,,,,, uhh I think I contradicted myself a bit there,, anyway I managed to make him cry although just unconsciously, but still tears.

Guess I was just curious abt what would make Gaku cry or idk I feel like I wanna bully him (affectionately)

Assuming my parents' families were anywhere near each other in whatever part of Africa we're from...I wonder if I lived THERE would I still have allergies?

I think about that often.

Of course a lot of it, like cedar fever (which isn't cedar at all but a non US native juniper) is due to INTRODUCED plants (thanks, Eurotrash) but considering I'm an introduced people...like...

no bc it's not too late. i found your heart, it's still beating. there's still time. come with me. life doesn't have to feel this way. it's not supposed to feel this way. the person you want to be, the person you're capable of becoming has been inside you this whole time. look inside, open up; you're not hollow or empty you are full of life and love and color and everything you thought you could be and so much more. and it's not too late. you can still find yourself. there's still time. you're not gone. your heart is still beating. but you're dying. you're dying slowly, and quickly. and time isn't right. and you're so much more than this. you were so much more than this. you ARE so much more than this. you can escape. we can escape. you don't have to be alone, none of us do. we can be free and ourselves, away from the shackles of where we once held ourselves, of where other people kept us. there's still time. but time is moving fast. and time is moving slow. time is moving constantly. everything is shifting, moving. nothing is stagnant. except for you. but you don't have to be. you are everything. you are nothing if you don't try to be. you are whole. and you are wonderful. and you could be everything you could've ever dreamt of. and there is still time

If you ever needed to know the extent of how the I/P conflict is fandomized, there is a popular post going around with a Sailor moon sticker saying Free Palestine and all the comments are talking about how it's their aesthetic and they totally need to buy it

Because this doesn't matter to them, it's just the cool hip and trendy thing
