#it'S A BAD CYCLE

people being shocked and frustrated by Alicent not comforting Aegon is funny because they clearly haven't been following the same "child bride, married by 14, two kids by 18, routinely martially raped, emotionally repressed, guilt-ridden" character that I've been following for the past two years.
#“She didn't comfort him!”#have we...considered that she literally doesn't know how to??#“She could've just hugged him!”#are we talking about the same woman who is approached by physical touch as a sexual/abusive transaction??#“She's a bad parent!”#yes?? we know??#sometimes the cycle wins guys. sometimes. the fucking cycle wins.#Alicent Hightower couldn't get out. and now she's stuck looking at the mirror every time she looks at Aegon.#and so. she won't look at Aegon.#hotd#house of the dragon#alicent hightower#aegon ii targaryen#text#team green

during the summer I was isolating and depressed bc of it and craving social interaction so bad being stuck in my room for weeks on end. but I have attended 4 Halloween parties this month and my desire to touch grass has never been so low and I want to retreat back into a hole and disintegrate. why is it so hard to find a reasonable medium
#its like jumping at the chance to socialize and accepting all invitations with no regard to my social battery bc it felt so bad having none#then getting overwhelmed and falling back into the cycle of self isolation and blocking out irl friends again. rinse and repeat#i love seeing my friends dont get me wrong but my autistic ass can only handle so much People Time per week

probably the best parallel between bluesey and pynch is that for Blue and Adam, this story is Pride & Prejudice level rivals-to-lovers - each of them going “fuck, him? really? him??” every step of the way - whereas Gansey and Ronan were both immediately and irrevocably in love

are you guys seeing this shit
#ouoohgh the parallels#like they knew right#they knew from the start these two are just the same guy ideologically speaking#because they ARE the same guy#just one got assigned a talent and the other didnt#and guess what#the guy who got the talent still doesnt think he is talented enough and resents himself#becoming a mouthpiece for the academy's harmful ideology#because its still the only worth he sees in himself#and its also the coping mechanism to him being cursed by god#which is also attributed to his talent!#vs#the guy that literally did sell himself body and soul for the academy#in order to achieve a talent#and the monkey finger curled inwards#and he became a disconnected test subject#that probably wasn't even built to last#and he on top of that was used as a bargaining chip to cause the apocalypse#like isn't that basically the good luck/bad luck cycle?#anyway#he's just like him fr fr#apoca.log#danganronpa#danganposting#sdr2#hajime hinata#nagito komaeda

consumed by the inevitable
#messyr#you know- I kept thinking: One day. The cage will be open but I feel like I'll stay. Because if I run- I'd wind up dead from their bullet#so I just- tend to- follow as much as I want to rebel and put sense into this fuckass household. I hate seeing the others in pain as well#and it hurts more that it feels like I can NEVER be the one to break this cycle of abuse- when I knew from the start- when I knew too much#but here I am ending up like the rest of them- helpless and unable to do jackshit about the situation. I cant say or do anything at all!#I dont want to end up like them- if anything I want to BREATHE- i want all of us to LIVE without this pain that has existed for generations#I want to help so bad no matter how much I know I am unloved.#no matter how much hate i carry- no matter how much burden- Underneath it all- I'm devoted to them- that's how fucked up I am#i know i'll never be enough. I know how often I think of death and wish it.#But I have a dream to achieve and I am not planning to die until I reach it. Not yet. If pain is where I strive best then so be it.#doodle#vent art#artists on tumblr#bpd#toxic behavior#learned helplessness

What we now know:
Ronan's snake scales are on his right arm apparently, according to the art accompanying the short story
The story is from the perspective of Casey, who lives somewhere coastal where everyone is having the same collective recurring dream
Blue and Gansey are gallivanting around doing ??? and they tip Ronan off about weird dream stuff
Ronan is wandering around (with Chainsaw) addressing said weird dream stuff
He stays at the Airbnb-ish thing Casey's parents have to look into the collective recurring dream
He apparently still doesn't have complete control over what he brings out of his head, because he does bring back part of the collective dream that starts growing on his arm
The Bryde dream mask thing makes an appearance when Casey helps a bro out so Ronan can dream something to address the dream stuff growing on his arm
Theme: Do you stay in a place and try to make it better, or do you leave to save yourself?
Adam is mentioned by Gansey in passing: "If my friend Adam was here, he’d have some science.”
You can preorder f(r)iction here and the digital copy is available for download now when you preorder the physical copy or when you buy it on its own. Physical copies look like they'll ship November 15th ish.
#the raven cycle#ronan lynch#blue sargent#gansey#adam parrish#maggie stiefvater#recurring#this is a really bad summary but i tried to not be spoilery#it was a short thing that gave a snapshot of post-canon life

zero's pressure
#running out of gas. running out of money. out of time. out of energy. i'm running out of everything#and ofc my solution is to. avoid it. ignore it. do nothing productive.#zero's pressure turns into zero pressure#i'm trying to be kind to myself. i really have been trying. but it's hard when youre still headed to 0 on everything with no solution#because of yourself#i cant get a job. my art doesnt bring enough. i cant keep producing new products on the regular. i cant finish major comms on time#what CAN i do?#vent#just some adhd things#and maybe anxiety. and bad stress management#sorry for being so raw on main. its therapeutic even if it doesnt really lead to anything. it does force me to confront my feelings ig#i tend to get a burst of motivation after hitting a low like this but its a constant cycle that in the longterm really doesnt improve.#ill probably get some products done and do some quick comms. just one of those alone can cover gas for me#anyway some positivity to toot my own horn: i love the palette of this piece. went harder than i thought

ive been watching the dog motif show... why is no one talking about this guy. isaac lahey come home from france,,,, sweet boy,,,, we miss you,,,
#teen wolf#fanart#isaac lahey#x#there is actually so much to his character that it makes me wanna gnaw my fingers off#what do you mean he dug his own grave and accepted the bite with the assurance that it would save him from his abuse#but in reality he just traded one angry man for another#and he never escapes this cycle#and there is no other ending to this story#because he gets written off the show but he doesn't even get a tragic death bc the actor wanted to keep all his options open#daniel sharman when i fucking catch you#ugh#also i think this post is very on brand for me#sorry falsettos fans another niche no-demand fandom inside a fandom was calling my name#god i love bad television#punica granatum
