okay i’m going to be a bitch for a second but hear me out. i hate posts like this. i hate them so fucking much. they’re branded as “self-care” but they just assume so much. and if the things they’re assuming as givens happen to not be true for you, they make you feel even worse.

“everything that has ever felt like a hurdle, you’ve passed through”. except what if you haven’t? what if life has knocked you down, and you still haven’t figured out how to get back up? what about us?

i’m still afraid of the same things i was afraid of ten years ago (and five years ago and two years ago). i haven’t overcome anything. i haven’t pushed through. i’m alive, but that’s pretty much all i have going for me in terms of survival. i’m actually probably worse off than i was ten years ago.

posts like this have a place in the discussion of mental health, i’m not denying that. if this kind of thing makes you feel better, that’s great. i’m genuinely happy this resonates with so many people. i’m just exhausted with seeing this kind of message presented as The standard of mental health everywhere. this “look how strong you are! look how far you’ve come!” message just rings hollow to me. idk i just think when it comes to mental health we need to get more comfortable talking about people who genuinely aren’t progressing and “overcoming” too.

Huh. If my life was a quote, it'd be "one of those sad ones with a deceptively happy tune"

barton being awkward at first or even completely throughout a whole interaction whenever he's trying to comfort people is so in character for him TBH and let me tell y'all why because i think it's important to his character:

he can fake a lot of things. barton can fake being nice to people, he can fake being innocent, and he can even fake having a much stronger sense of morality around people if he wants to — but whenever it comes to empathizing with someone on an emotional level... barton finds himself often struggling with faking it because of the nature of it. and this is due to it being different than whenever he's trying to feign something easily comprehensible like innocence. but empathy is something that's usually viewed as innate in us as humans and has to do with love, which doesn't depend on logic. it's something that comes from within, so it doesn't have clear parameters as to how you should do it, so whenever barton tries to fake it in the event that he's trying to make someone feel better; he'll stumble. and so although barton can cognitively empathize with someone, his efforts to actually put himself in other people's shoes fall flat, as he just can't physically imagine himself being in someone else's position probably more than half the time.

so if your muse were to ever come to him seeming upset, barton would likely not know what to do / how to comfort them, at least for a bit before referencing back on how he's seen other people do it. because i hate to say it (i don't, in reality, but y'all know what i mean LOL) but barton does actively mimic behaviors that he sees people do whenever he feels the absence of a certain emotion. he especially does this whenever he's trying to appear charming to other people, but like i said, he'll also try to use what he's seen his peers do as a guide as for what he should do in regards to empathy. and sometimes he may even seem a bit flustered before he's able to do this because he knows that it is expected of him to be able to empathize with people and can identify it in other people BUT knowing how to approach faking it has always been sort of hard for him even as an adult.

but yeahhh, that's just my own two cents about how barton sometimes break character that he is quote unquote ' normal, ' though he does try to mask this around people who aren't really familiar with him as simply being social awkwardness. however, it is part of a larger thing with him as despite the fact that he can blend in with the population REALLY well and also is pretty good at manipulating others, i suppose you could say that barton is still not an expert at ' constructing empathy ' because whenever someone is visibly hurt in front of him... he is more liable to act like he isn't sure what to do, than to put on an act immediately since he is likely to feel nothing first before anything else. and i realize that that is a rather unsettling thought, but i think that he is a lot more suspectible to doing this with people he doesn't know well / who he isn't particularly close to, as he's got a lot more practice with being falsely empathetic towards friends and/or sometimes even family members.

I'm both excited and terrified about Thanksgiving and Christmas. On one hand pvrging is fun, on the other what if I can't pvrge and everyone looking at you while you eat. At least I get school off, thank goodness.

closed starter for shen qiao !! @masqce

"y'know.. you really made me feel like my old self- powder.." that name fell so bitterly off her tongue- "-but I can't help but to feel like i'm deceiving you- and usually that'd be no problem. -but here's the thing- i actually like you.. -you're like the big bro I was missing.." she was rambling- trying to ignore the invasive delusions.. she was horrified to chase him off- but surely he was here to stay- something deep within her told her that. "-i, guess what im trying to say is- i'm scared if you knew - jinx.. the real me, you'd run off like everyone else does-or you'd want me dead.. -if i told you- i killed before- would you- still look at me the same?" she asked looking up at the other; feeling her heart pounding against her rib cage- trying to bite her lip to hold back the tears that begged to fall.

Sigh... sometimes I forget where my heart should actually lay in the wonders of horror art instead of my obsessive need to draw stucky. I refuse to live in 2024 istg

Anyways !

Little horror doodles, I did try to play with the new TikTok trend brush, 'bromine' I believe it is called which is also a chemical! 🤓☝️

...and then I got a little bored and went off script and started adding smaller doodles... oh hey and Rain made it in!

I need to mention my OC's more.

...How was I listening to Ayesha Erotica and still took it so seriously? Goddayum
