THEY CANT JUST GET OUT OF MY HEADDD

Theyre going to commit arson together (very romanic)💞💞💞

I inspired in this image I saw on Pinterest:

Idk why...

Any thoughts on Emo blue? Blue with wild black hair? Emo Blue wearing clip on earing and wearing under the eye eyeliner? Any thoughts?

Nah, I think subcultures are for the elite/

His childhood was too harsh to dye his hair and get piercings (I think this applies to everyone in DS)

mostly he thought only about how to behave quietly so that he would not be beaten. I think he was just a quiet downtrodden kid.

Is it OCD or is it a real thought?

"Maybe it's not OCD" "Maybe I do need to think/do/avoid this and I'm just using real intuition" "What if I'm wrong and calling it OCD is making the problem worse" You're right.

The thought might not be OCD. It might be real. It might be something you need to deal with.

But if you have a thought, and it plagues you with such dread and fear and pain that doing compulsions to make it go away is the only way to feel relief?

Then it doesn't matter what the thought is. You are having an OCD response.

"What if I'm gay or trans and the discomfort around thinking it is just my identity trying to find itself?" Treat the OCD first. You have a life to find your identity. But OCD is not the reason you're going to start. This journey should be done for your own growth, not out of fear.

"What if my parter IS secretly cheating on me and I need to check right now?" Treat the OCD first. If they are cheating on you then there is nothing you can do about it. But you're not confronting a situation because you want OCD relief.

"What if I put bleach in my baby's bottle?" Treat the OCD first. Trust that the bottle is clean and your baby is fine. You are a good parent, and you will not be controlled by this fear. You are okay.

There is always a WHAT IF in life, and with OCD there are so many what ifs. But life is not meant to be lived by what if.

You must treat the OCD first. You must reach a point where those thoughts are not making you sick with terror.

Then, if they are true? You will be able to handle them.

You are stronger than OCD.

friendly reminder that during the height of the ace discourse it was very much a thing that exclusionist would pose as ace people posting shit about the other sexualities to make ace people look bad

we don't know if they ever stopped so if you see a screenshot of tags from an "ace" person talking shit about other sexualities or kink, don't take for granted it did come from an actual ace person

Was Steve Harrington named for Steven Harrington aka Steve Strange of the band Visage and the New Romantic scene?

Can't be a coincidence given his taste, right?

I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "beyond the human range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other things. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp morality", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that humans can never comprehend

learning that self deprecation isnt cool and just makes the people around you uncomfortable unironically improved my mental health a lot. like if you just stop saying negative shit about yourself you will genuinely like yourself more and other people wont be repulsed by your attitude and you will have more friends. it's true.

DP x DC prompt [15]

Danny accepts that because of his half dead status he won't be able to become an astronaut and he has to find a different way to feed his space obsession.

He decides to get really into astromancy (yes, the magic. He already knows everything about astronomy). He gets himself the more spiritual star charts, old surprisingly authentic tomes about the art and divination cards to go with it all and gets to learning.

Tbh he kind of went into this not expecting much but it turns out he had homo magus heritage from his Nightingale roots and he actually manages to call upon the power of the stars.

He figures he can blame the vaporized wall on ghosts.

Meanwhile, a foreboding feeling like cold shivers run down the spines of several magic users that they can only describe as "a child having figured out they need to switch off the safety on their mini nuke launcher in order to fire it"

The JLD is scrambling to locate the source of the surge in magic power before someone with bad intentions can get there.

rhaenyra and alicent clashing with their sons over responsibility and duty and rhaenyra assuaging jace’s fears by trusting him with aegon’s dream and affirming him as her true heir and beloved son for his eventual ascendancy of the throne vs. alicent telling aegon that the most useful thing he can do is nothing because he will never grow into his throne and can’t be trusted with anything.

I'm sorry, brother. I'm sorry I let you down.

[inkskinned]

we were sitting on the floor and i was cutting out tiny pictures to make a collage for a friend's birthday. you were on your phone and you laughed about something, and i was still in love with you then, so i asked what had you giggling.

"sorry. i was just..." you took a moment and went back to texting. "i was telling someone about how you're afraid of the dark."

i'm afraid of the dark because something bad happened. "oh." i felt a little slinky of shame crawl down my throat.

you glanced up, and maybe it showed on my face, because you rolled your eyes and held the phone to the side casually so i could see the group chat. "what? was it a secret?"

i looked down to the scissors in my hand. "i just..." no, it's not a secret. it just felt like something private, something serious. saying why would you tell someone that just feels like an accusation. it's unfair. i honestly am not even ashamed of it, it's just a fact about my person that i don't usually share.

what a strange experience. is this a human thing or a generational thing? for our grandparents: did they need to worry about how quickly someone can just... share your personal information? again, i didn't even really have a true objection. what could i say? i want any person in my life to feel they can be honest with their friends. it's not like i said don't tell anyone this.

i cut out another letter to complete the rainbow happy birthday, started hunting for the exclamation mark. i heard you sigh dramatically.

"don't make a big deal about this," you said.

this entire conversation was a pattern for us, and this was when we got to my least favorite part of the pattern. i would get my feelings hurt in some oblique not-technically-terrible way, and then it would be making a big deal about something. you'd get frustrated for me for being soft, but i was born soft. you knew i was soft when you pierced me. it's one of the things that made controlling me so easy.

"i'm not," i felt my voice crack. the question came without my wanting. "why are you guys talking about me?" and why are you saying that thing? why not like - i'm telling them how you're generous and kind and pretty.

you let out this low, tragic groan. "oh my god." you tossed the phone away from your body. "there, see? i just won't talk to them if you don't like it."

the rest of the hour went the way it always went, between us: i said i don't actually mind if you talk to your friends but -, you found a way to call my minor expression of discomfort "being dramatic." you got upset that i had been offended. i ended up apologizing, even though i hadn't actually done anything.

afterwards, you picked up the phone again. after texting for a little bit, you snorted. "okay," you said, "but it is kind of funny you're afraid of the dark. i mean, when you think about it."

So we all know by now that Dazai is comfortable enough around Chuuya to show nervousness/worry.

Enough times for Chuuya to pick up on that pattern. The pattern, may I remind you, that doesn't have evident correlation to either nervousness or worry to most people. One that can even be interpreted as misplaced given the situation.

Which means that Dazai has done this in front of Chuuya so often, that Chuuya at first was hella confused, before he finally made a connection between when and why it happens. And still remembered that connection after four years of separation. Which gets us to my point:

What if this isn't the only emotion Dazai displays weirdly?

What if he has multiple unconventional patterns he displays for sadness, frustration, content, or disgust? The times he really feels them, and they become too strong for him to just deal with normally? What if these are the only times he's actually being genuine with his emotions?

And Chuuya is the only one who is familiar with them all?

Dazai would be jumping rope and Chuuya would be like, "quit sulking, let's get icecream"

Dazai hanging upside down on the couch and Chuuya going, "It's okay, mackerel. You can cry."

Dazai actually crying, full on heart-wrenching sobs, and Chuuya unironically going, "What, good news?"

It's just... comforting, for one person in Dazai's life to read him like a book. Everyone else would look at him like he's crazy, displaying wrong emotions/behaviors at the wrong time, but Chuuya knows that it's just how he processes feeling properly, and thus he's the only one Dazai can count on to put things into context and understand, which makes him display them even more openly.

Because Chuuya never shamed him for his quirks, as much as Dazai never did his.
