Okay challenge mode. You are a therapist and Eridan Ampora from Homestuck has just walked right out of his intro page into your office. How do you fix him?

put him and karkat in a room with a pile of stuff and tell them they can't leave until they've jumped into it and talked about their feelings

#realtalk therapy doesnt work unless the person getting the therapy puts in the effort to make it work #eridan starts the comic in complete and utter denial that he's in need of help #so there's really nothing i nor any stranger could do about that #HOWEVER he does talk to karkat often about his feelings (and vice versa) and #the reason they didnt hang out during the game seems to be #1) they were on separate teams and didnt realize the teams were the same team until later on #2) by then it was too late and eridan had aggro'd all his angels #3) gamzee was deliberately keeping eridan away from karkat and vice versa (likely bc gamzee had a palecrush on kk)#4) karkat was too busy falling victim to his own insecurities abt being a leader to pay attention to his actual friendships #4a) eg. it shouldve been the time player doing the frog hunt with kanaya & not the blood player #like im not saying moirallegiance with karkat would have fixed all of eridans problems but i am saying #what eridan really needed was a friend who took his problems seriously and could see past his bullshitting #and karkat already WAS that friend - they just never hung out #so by the time the meteor rolls around eridan has spent WEEKS feeling abandoned anxious and alone on his death planet #and karkat has gotten used to not thinking about eridan too much #so karkat - who is basically eridans only actual friend at that point - isnt able to get through to him & eridan snaps #like the thing about sburb/homestuck is that it really stresses the importance of friendship and working together #letting each other help with each others' problems #thats why the smallest viable game is still two people by necessity #so when we see things like gamzee snapping or eridan snapping or vriska snapping #as much as these are the 'fault' of the person snapping they also need to be viewed as comprehensive team failures #the people who should have spent the game together didnt and the people who shouldnt have spent the game together did #vriska was allowed to bully tf outta tavros and nobody intervened #eridan was left all alone and nobody tried to help him #and everybody was mean to gamzee and nobody tried to connect with him #and you know whose job it is to make sure the right people are hanging out together? the blood player #and unfortunately our blood player was so insecure that he was doing jobs that werent his to do #im not saying pale erikar would fix homestuck but i am saying pale erikar is a symptom of things being fixed in homestuck

Your style really fits Fields of Mistria to a tee

Lil ol' me???? My style? Thank you so much ! It's a relief to hear that it fits!

(I definitely plan to draw more for it/the cutie patootie townspeople! So I'm glad to hear that my first attempt was fitting enough!)

#moe talks a lot #im currently torn between three things which are #fom and stress from job hunting and an anime #which sadly the stress from job hunting is making it really hard to have ANY energy for art #so ive been zoning out rewatching an anime that i now would like to draw fanart for #but alas that requires energy which is why i havent drawn more for fom so like big shrugs #BUT i do have lots of ideas and a very specific agenda that i would like to push that i might be the only person to appreciate #but trust me there are ideas !

Adulting sucks but at least the magic of online shopping gave me some awesome Fraggle Rock merch

#Things have been so damn stressful like I just wanna rest #Job hunting is still on the go and it's getting to me #But then I came across two awesome Fraggle Rock merch pieces so that's pretty cool #Made me feel a lot better #Sona #Palettes art #My art

I need to try harder to get out of bed but augh

#🤖.txt #aghhfjg i really need to catch up on sleep. but i also want to do stuff but idk. this is dumb but nothing i do really feels worth the effor #anymore. Thinking like this is sad bc drawing is one of the few things i like doing and make me happy but idk #i might just go back to the way things were before. Just wait for the weekend and spend as much time drawing then #genuinely dont want to do anything at all this is so frustrating and im so tired and sad all the time #i know i should be using my break to focus on studying but with what time #Idkkkk i just really hate living like this #thinking about dropping out again but that would just mean house chores + babysitting full time while job hunting and idk if i can handle #that. I cant handle anything anymore and this is making me so sad . I want to be useful and do so many things but i reached my limit months #ago. I just wanted a week or two to just rest its all i need . But i know im never gonna get that again and at this point i might as well #just die but i cant do that neither bc i have shit to do #Everyone is always talking about how i have it so easy and how things are just gonna get worse bc they think me being home = me not doing #anything and idk. I cant take anything anymore and i think the most upsetting part of this is that i know theyre right #im not doing barely anything and i dont know. How to do more im just useless and ungrateful for the things i have #Really stressed and tired and literally nothing happened. Its gonna be 2pm soon and im supposed to wake up Earlier #But yeagh. this wasnt supposed to be this wall of text i just wanted to say that i might give up on art again for a while #aughhh i dont know how to do anything right idk how to live or take care of myself how am i supposed to raise someone .#this is. too much i think. I reallyyyyy need to relearn how to just talk to myself . I cant keep dropping these everyday and being . This t #evsryone around me. Everyone in my life deserves so much better than ill ever be #vent

#i never talk about my own life on here anymore which is ironic bc it’s my own blog but anyway #new job is stressing me the fuck out i feel completely incompetent and the people training me seem to think i can handle a lot of shit on #my own that i feel sooooo not confident about #not sleeping well at all because my body cannot handle ‘normal’ circadian rhythms so i’m starting to unravel emotionally #on top of all this shit i’m in the middle of apartment hunting/trying to move so that’s a whole other pile of stress #and the looming sense of dread that i’m not going to be able to take care of myself and be completely on my own because of my own mental #health issues is scaring me #AND ON TOP OF THAT i have health issues that are starting to get Actually Concerning that i’ve been putting off getting checked out #anyway…….live laugh love (i want to ***)

i always want to say please never think i'm ignoring you. sometimes i'm slow with messaging on tumblr ( and on discord too tbh ). and rn i'm kind of buried in the consequences of my procrastination so i've been kinda quiet.

#vampires will never hurt you ! // ooc #if i follow you i want to write and plot with you #i'm just slow sometimes #and this week has been both stressful with job hunting #and i'm also sick #so there's a LOT #but i never intentionally ignore people

#is it normal that everyone feels sad and lonely most of the time #i cant imagine it being anything else #even when im surrounded by people or at events i feel disconnected #and is everyone just faking it or do they really love making plans going out #idk why im so nonfunctional it feels like whether or not i start feeling bad when i go out is 50/50 #and i tried to join as many things as possible in my earlier years of college but i think it only succeeded in distracting me #and making me tired and sleep deprived and i felt like i was too shallowly involved in each thing bc i was spread too thin #but now ive quit almost everything and im just sad. i get jealous when people have plans and when they have friends. when they just go out #its just so tiring and all i ever want to do is lay in bed. but if i stay in bed i feel sad and guilty about missing out and wasting my life #everything stresses me out so easily. i cant play games bc i get anxious. ordering drinks in front of others makes me anxious. anything new #and i fear my anxiety gotten worse this year for just zero reason #im so tired im never getting better. next year my bf is travelling for over a month and im stuck in classes and busy and job hunting #and about to graduate #and i just know im going to be so lonely and so stressed and so depressed #it just kind of feels like i’ve tried so hard for years to be happier and cope with things healthier but i haven’t gotten anywhere.#perhaps im even worse now because i don’t even draw or consume any media anymore. i just barely work (and struggle the whole time) and sleep #my rambles

#i've genuinely liked my job up to this point #but they fucking promoted me and now it's really stressful #i just want to do basic data entry or something i dont want to manage people!!!#i dont want to be responsible for anyone except me!#im hoping it will get easier bc i dont want to get cold feet and just leave again #ive done that too many times and i hate job hunting #but im at panic attack levels of workplace stress rn??? i keep making stupid simple mistakes that i have to clean up and it sucks so much #google how to work at stanley parable button pushing company

So Much happening, lots of it good but So Much

#i'm on track to finish a draft of one of my essays tn #so tomorrow morning I need to proofread and submit and then get cracking on my second essay #got a linguistics society event tomorrow and then going to the theatre with my flatmate :D #then thursday is crunch time to finish essay 2 that needs to be submitted on friday #heading to a sleepover with my friend who goes to uni an hour away and on sat we're doing a day trip to a nearby city #then next week is also A Lot but that's too far in the future for now #i also saw a job advertised at my old workplace today which i applied for so really hope i get that #the job hunt has not gone well so far #it would just be embarrassing if i didn't get my old job #also learned some exciting things about my module choices next year and my year abroad in 3rd year :D #and let's not forget that hot enby language summer approaches!!#but yeah if I get a job lined up for summer I can basically stop stressing about a lot of things #but waiting for that to fall into place is AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #i've put the most effort possible into applying so it's out of my hands now and all i can do is wait #this is just the same as waiting for results day last year lol #ellis exclaims

Writing is slowwwwly coming along, plot is good, themes are good - I figured out some thorny plot issues with late act 3 things, and husband/editor continues to go "ooh" and "oh that's fucked" with appropriate amounts of enthusiasm and shock, so feeling good about that - but I am just a bundle of anxiety otherwise. I feel like the evening in 2016 but all day long. This year has been so stressful my ability to deal with any extra anxiety is just fucked right now :///

Might shitpost a bunch tomorrow depending on how the evening goes, but it will be tagged appropriately so y'all can block tags if wanted. Fingers crossed I'm coherent by Wednesday and can get back to regular life 🫠

#I picked the best time to get back to job hunting can't you tell #and the house sale finally closed! It took that long!!! Which really says it all in terms of stress #did I mention I had a therapy appt and they canceled it 3 days beforehand bc I didn't have the consent forms done by friday 5pm?#that was communicated absolutely nowhere #so for mental health I am painting my nails the most lurid shade of toxic sparkly green #because I feel like a poisonous frog right now #and touching me will end poorly for everyone #delta.txt #wrong reasons fic #election 2024

i am doing not great today lads

#the talkies #job hunt is looking extra miserable and hopeless #not having a good body image time #spent last night torturing myself w old photos of what i used to look like #breakouts are not fucking going away even with my increased med dose so it makes me sad every morning when i wake up and look at them #mom is extremely stressed at work so the air in the house is getting poisoned and she’s starting to take it out on me #+extra sad abt the passage of time and all the things i still havent managed to progress on in the last few years #just not having a great time overall #anyways my emo rant of the day #hope everyone has something happy to brighten their day today

Spending almost $500 just to take a test that I'm soooo stressed about failing to study for (due to both time constraints and stress breakdowns and desperately wanting a new job)

#in theory *passing* the test will finish my certification which *might* really help with my job hunt #but also soooo stressed that i'm going to struggle to job hunt because of the studying. but i'm struggling to job hunt anyway so.#and if i fail this test then i get to pay $500 again 🙃🙃🙃 yay #work #ladyluscinia
