This is everything I never knew I needed

Most annoying thing to remember is that you're litterally just a homosapien. You're just a very smart animal. If you feel like shit, imagine you're an exotic pet for some alien species and do what they'd do to keep you healthy. You gotta be well cared for. Animal abuse is a crime for a reason

"My pet human, Greg, hasn't left his bed in a long time. He's just scrolling his phone all day" Greg needs enrichment. Add enrichment in his enclosure and take him on walks

"Greg has been super lethargic and sad recently for seemingly no reason" Greg need vitamins, take him outside for some vitamin D and fresh air. Perhaps a picnic

"Greg won't sleep even though he's been super lethargic" Greg needs a schedule, especially for the lights in his enclosure.

"Greg has been super distant recently and keeps crying to sad music" Humans are pack animals, he needs to hug another human and hang out. Perhaps pack bond with a rock together

"Greg has been flailing around and panicking, his breathing is way faster than it should be" Greg is overwhelmed. Take Greg out of the situation and give him time to calm down. Perhaps somewhere cozy with tea and a movie

"Greg won't do what he needs to do" Train him. Humans do great with positive reinforcement, give him little treats when he's doing good

"Greg he's been super anxious and tired, he can't seem to enjoy his days" Humans needs to move around. Give Greg something to exercise with. Things like stretching, weight lifting, walking, or even dancing will help

"Even though I've taken really good care of Greg, he still has been having issues" Greg is ill, take him to the doctor. You might need a specialist (therapist, optometrist, oncologist, etc)

I know it feels patronizing, and I know it feels embarrassing or that you're "just giving into the clichés", but you are literally just a creature. You need to sleep/eat on time, you need enrichment, and you need to take care of your social needs. Humans are complicated animals, but they are also beautiful and all deserve proper care. This obviously isn't a perfect analogy, nothing is, but if you saw your friend taking care of their pet the way you take care of yourself, would you be concerned?

I hate periods. Fucking hate them. But sometimes it feels like I don't have the right to complain. So, I guess imma give some love to those whose symptoms might not get attention.

Obviously, sympathy to those who get debilitating cramps. I'm lucky mine are average.

Shout out to those who have mental disorders who symptoms get worse with their periods. My depression and anxiety always seem to spike when I'm on mine.

Shout out to those with chronic illness who get flare ups and worse symptoms when on their period.

Shout out to those who are like me who get upset stomachs and digestion problems when on their period. I know for me, it feels like having a stomach bug on a good day. I've had times where I've questioned if I ate something bad because my stomach is rolling like it did that one bout of food poisoning I got. (It was minor food poisoning, don't worry)

Shoutout to those who get strong cravings, but I also want to shout out to those who lose their appetite or desire to eat when on their periods. Sometimes, I feel like I'd rather die than eat anything.

Shout out to those who experience hot flashes. I don't get them often, but they suck when I do.

Shout out to anyone who gets a period. There are so many symptoms we don't talk about that make things suck.

Your issues are valid. Even if they aren't the ones mainly talked about. Even if they aren't "severe enough." Even if you can function fine but are still experiencing discomfort. You are valid and your discomfort or pain is valid. You can complain even if you aren't one of the people who get extreme cramps. It's okay. You are valid.

All the love and sympathy to you.

Feel free to reblog with any other symptoms you experience that people don't seem to talk about.

(And sorry if this seems too much like a vent. I am, probably obviously, on my period and suffering.)

i wonder how long it took for charles to get out of his habits and depression after dofp

putting my problems on charles lmao

charles not wanting to change but knowing he needs too because nothing beneficial will come out of staying in his sad little bubble of alcohol and the serum.

i find it kind of unrealistic to just be able to get out of that hole. he would be going through two different types of withdrawal and his ex kinda broke his heart again

the main reason he got out of the house was because logan told him about the future and that his sister was going to be tortured and experimented on

he would also have to get re-used to not using his legs AND telepathy

bro stronger than me damn

i feel like mental health was also definitely not treated the same way it is now compared to the 70s so he pretty much just has hank as a support beam

change is an incredibly difficult thing so i bet it took at least a few years for charles to heal from all those years of drinking and taking too high a dose of the serum and depression. even then he still clearly has some lingering habits as we can see in dark pheonix he resorts to drinking whenever he struggles with something (and this is 20 years after dofp)

this guy crazy forreal

okay you know what? reading through rp blogs has become my new source of entertainment. It's like the multiverse but messier and like fanfiction but unpredictable and also like anonymous asks bugging characters about when they're going to kiss other characters and the characters telling them to go fucking die

Hey sorry I will not post for a long time I had several problems, had to go to the emergency and now I will be in the hospital for a long time for my mental health.

Hope y’all are doing good guys 🫶🏻

The irony of the male loneliness epidemic is that so many men have isolated & distanced themselves from the progression of gender equality, yet somehow want the company of women & don't seem to understand that holding sexist or discriminatory views Is the very thing pushing women further away.

Where can I find a man who will let me lay my head on his lap and play with my hair as he tells me how much he loves me? 💗

Stanford Pines & Eating Disorders

TW for eating disorders. Obviously.

So a while back it occurred to me that it might not be totally out of the question for Ford to have an eating disorder. It's not a headcanon of mine, but after researching a little bit about ED in men, I was surprised just how well it could fit.

Ford talks in the journal about how he "hated physical activity" as a kid but has since developed a diet and exercise regimen that he describes as "rigorous" and "extensive." A very common thing that men will do is starve themselves in conjunction with excessive exercise in an effort to look better/more muscular. I can absolutely see him engaging in that (this possibility, to me, is only further evidenced by the fact that he points out Stan's weight when he comes back to his own dimension) especially to distance himself from the person he was before college. And, perhaps, to at least subconsciously prove that he has some measure of control over things in his life.

(Feeling cold can also be a telltale sign of an eating disorder. I’ve talked in the past about how Ford’s coat and turtleneck could be something he wears for comfort, but it also fits in this context.)

I also read an article about one man’s struggle with an eating disorder in the 70s, and he had this to say:

The one part of the eating disorder that has been the “stickiest” for me is social isolation. The secrecy and privacy I needed to practice my routines and rituals turned out to be the last and hardest symptom to fully unwind. Even with greatly diminished routines around food and exercise, I remained somewhat of a loner and relatively isolated socially.

Six years alone in Gravity Falls - years in which Ford didn’t interact with people to the degree that nobody even noticed when Stanley replaced him - would have made it all too easy. And then thirty years struggling for food in the multiverse… staying in the basement when he gets back.

Of course, nothing I’ve mentioned here is clear “evidence” that Stanford Pines has an eating disorder, but it is a very interesting lens through which to view his character.
