#it is 1 am and I have a migraine

[sineala]

In case you are looking for canonical evidence that Tony Stark has migraines, this is Darkhold Alpha #1 (2021).

Of COURSE I would be fine for a while and then get a full-blown migraine during DragonCon.

I wanted to take a second to say thank you

Specifically for all the really sweet "asks" and tags I've gotten just to tell me how much you guys like my art and AUs and such. I'm sorry I haven't thanked those of you who have sent those messages directly, I just try to not engage with people I don't know on a level as personal as that anymore. It's nothing against any of you I promise, I've just had a lot of bad experiences with stalking and harassment that originated from parasocial people who started out "nice."

But it's been very healing after spending years in the FNaF fandom and on twitter in general with nothing but toxicity and entitlement from others, to just be around so much excitement and positivity and encouragement.

I honestly didn't draw much at all last year due to dissociating so bad, I hardly remember any of it, and I'm only just getting out of a 2 year long suicidal depression. But even though I still have to be gentle and have patience with myself when I can't work, I've been so much more motivated and happy working on my niche little Homestuck AU in the past month alone.

And seeing people so supportive over something that was basically only supposed to be self-indulgent, and I never thought so many would care about, means more than I can honestly express.

I'll have more for your guys soon hopefully, though I'll be keeping things at my own pace. For now here's a Mituna for your Tr☢︎ubles™ as he's been my most current brain worm in the pendulum that is my Megido&Captor hyperfixation.

showing your friend your current favorite show (after many failed attempts to show anybody your show) and your brain is like. "you took your dog outside and the sun was too bright. go fucking limp. get confused. die about it. headache." and of course my ass tried to postpone going to lay down so bad it took me 6 entire minutes to walk 10 feet to my bed and not fall and then take off my clothes one armed (had a binder on for the record) [staring at the sky] am i a joke to you.

The human brain really is designed for cooking up batshit theories

[ilovedthestars]

currently feeling like I’m caught in the middle of a three-way battle between my finals season workload, my personal expectations for myself and desire to make art that I’m genuinely proud of, and the physical limitations of my body which is still in spoon debt from being sick for like three weeks and then spending spring break doing makeup work. I’ve been feeling like this a lot in the last several weeks and every time I’ve managed to find a burst of energy or the willingness to cut some corners and rest or some other way to compromise, but god i am so ready to stop having to deal with all of this at once

my random sleep timings and procrastination abilities need to be studied why does this work every time im scared

Sketch of my progens!

I'm "participating" in NaNoWritMo this year - by writing lore for my clan! I'm not aiming to get 50k words or a coherent original novel, but I really miss writing and my friend was considering doing nano this year, so I said I'LL DO IT TOO, but my goal is to just... write. It's gonna be lore snippets (both for my clan overall and for individual dragons), stuff for my Neopets, maybe some fanfic ideas that have been percolating - whatever comes to mind. Have some fun with it, y'know?

I already got a nice little prologue written about how Magpie (Fae, custom progen) and Veil (Mirror, random progen) meet, and gives a bit of a setting introduction. c:

It is weird to have the overall structure of my life going really well. And also be on my 4th breakdown of the past two weeks. I keep writing dramatic things like “the beautiful structure of my life is scaffolded on my suffering” and then sighing at myself

I am very successful now. And I have loving partners. And a place to live. And medications. And friends, if I had the time to talk to them

But I am so, so exhausted due to a string of unfortunate events preventing me from having a real break for 6 months. Also the daily migraines are getting to me. This should be better in a couple weeks hopefully. At least my partners get to trade off handling the breakdowns

[ratcandy]

oh god where am i

I hate that I'm held at social gunpoint to never EVER be anything but picture perfect niceness while doctors and nurses bully me and treat me like shit. It drives me insane. I tried being transparent with my last nurse about how my dietary problems, thyroid probpems, and chronic pain treatment was really going to interfere with a procedure and that I wanted to schedule it AFTER my other appointments and procedures. She told me "well, I can't do anything about that. The doctor wants it done." I tore the instructions she gave me right in front of her. They were salvageable. I could tape them together. But she looked at me like I called her a fucking slur.

"Oh but think of the doctor/nurse/receptionist you're doing that to! Every time a patient loses it, more medical practitioners leave the field!"

I.

Don't.

Care.

You're DOING this TO ME. I have the right of being the victim here. If someone is pushed and forced and coerced and bullied and assaulted enough times, they have a right to treat their offenders like shit.

I'm fucking sick of it.

small Halloween treats for me: migraine aura but no actual migraine, previously blogged-about vampire-themed fragrance actually DOES work with my skin chemistry

[neocaridina]

I forgot my migraine relief pills have caffeine in them .

[emeraldraccoon478]

so when I have songs stuck in my head for a long time, my brain just makes up new words, it rarely makes sense

a few favorites include things like

“A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down, medicine go down oh medicine go down, yes a spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down in the edison museum!”

“Son of man look to the sky, lift your spirt set it free. One day you will walk with pride, son of man your mind is full of sheeeeeep”

“Oh below me I feel no motion, standing on these mountains and plains. Far away from the rolling ocean, still my dry land heart can pain”
