💥Binderary Bind # 3 💥

A collection of 15 stories by @greygerbil.( Highly HIGHLY recommend their fics)

For the book title, I chose The Shield,The Spear, The Sword and chose another 14 of their stories (it was a struggle not to include all of them but i got tired of typesetting 😅)

I made individual title pages for all of them (pic doesnt include all)

I did keep the drop caps the same in every story as well as the same line break image (a cute little shield,spear, sword combo i made on canva) to add continuity.

I tried a couple new techniques this bind.

Did my first ever rounded spine as well as some (easy and fake) raised bands. This was heavily inspired by those old traditional leather bound books.

Progess pic before the faux leather.

In Room For Growth Mariner really does heavily imply that she'd finally do something to get herself kicked out of Starfleet if Brad's "Bold Boimler" antics got him killed.

See now that I have my tattoo I understand why nobody gets just one. First, it looks lonely out here on my otherwise blank leg. Second, perhaps even more important, is that I spent years looking up anecdotes of how much it hurts and trying to prepare myself and now I've done it and it's just. Huh! Yep that hurt. No I didn't really mind. And now I know what's possible.

ive talked to a lot of ppl who have taken vyvanse now and i think ik a bit more on how i need to live on it

"Hey, Boimler, focus," Mariner says, voice flat and staccato. She's usually pretty good at nailing those wheedly 'Listen to me and give me what I want please' tones, but she doesn't think she'd be able to pull it off even if she had the energy to bother. There's a good chance Boimler is still tangled enough in the post-meltdown haze that the effort would be totally wasted on him anyway. "I need you to lay on top of me."

Help

Alright my advice for "so you read the controversial dark fic people sometimes talk about and now you kinda need aftercare"

Get some fresh air if possible, get outside, disconnect a bit, it doesnt need to be for long, but a walk around the block if possible can help

Get something warm and comfortable, make some tea, some hot chocolate, some soup, warm and easy to hold.

Detox it out of your mind. If you're like me you struggle to let go of thoughts unless you can vent them or express them. Gossip with a friend about it, ask to rant about it. While this doesn't help everyone and if you aren't careful could make it worse, I personally find being able to go "LOOK AT THIS BULLSHIT" to be a good way to make my brain move on from a topic

Self care, have you taken a shower lately? eaten? hydrated? you may just be lacking some biological function and it's merging with your unease, so making sure youre clean, fed, and watered can help reduce it.

Read some fluff, listen to some happy music, watch a calming minecraft lets play, let your mind settle down, look at cute shipping art of the, remind yourself that it's a story and they are fine, pet a cat

Alternatively, if you aren't the kind of person that works on, switch to dark content you already know you like. Listen to that heavy metal song about the devil, watch a horror movie you know you like, read a spooky story that you know won't make it worse. Hell, play something like fnaf and get jumpscared a few times to get your brain onto a different less upsetting kind of lingering anxiety.

Vent content, this is similar to the detox, but more creatively focused, write an alternative end to the story, draw a picture of kokichi looking cool and powerful, make a new ending, a new story, one where it ends how you want it end, where it gives the closure you want for the characters. Hell, write about your super cool oc going into the story and rescuing kokichi! Even if it makes you feel a bit silly or self indulgent, that's good! that means youre having fun again!

Not all of these will work or be appealing, but doing a few should at least help take the edge off it. I said it kinda jokingly but it really is similar to aftercare, you read a really dark story with sexual themes and you essentially safeworded, you're going through a similar crash. You aren't being dramatic, or weak, or silly, or overreacting, or anything. Intense emotions over a period of time, even if it's just a few hours of reading, can cause crashes in your brain due to chemicals going a bit funky. It's kinda like how if you get home from a super fun party you suddenly feel really down and unhappy, that's an endorphin crash!

So even if it sounds a bit silly to say it about reading a fanfiction, but if it's fucking with your head still, you need to give yourself aftercare

Heyyy im back at it crush posting again :DDDD

One of the first things I liked about him was his smile- like whenever he's happy or laughs he smiles so big and genuine and it's hard to describe without showing a picture of him (not gonna do that ever) but it just makes me love making him laugh more cuz whenever I do that (today I showed him quartet sheet music I found for Im Just Ken) he looks me DEAD IN THE EYES and smiles so big and I LOVE IT

Still thinking about the time I had such a severe reaction to the typhus vaccine that I essentially had a mild case of typhus that caused me to know my body in a way I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy
