As if the Specialists aren't sleep deprived.

The Specialists are known to be one of the protectors of Magix. To get stronger, they train under the supervision of the Red Fountain authorities. Everyday, they wake up four in the morning to practice and train themselves.

The boys probably wake up four in the morning just to be ready for another day of training, getting prepared under ten minutes in an early morning to spar and drive their wind riders. Heck, they might still be half-asleep or unfocused after they just woke up, still they continue to practice for the realm's sake.

And since we know they do not use any sort of magic, the boys must think quick and strike their opponent quickly. They are still under training of Red Fountain, so some Specialists are struggling to get on track to follow through.

Do not forget they have their own exams and tests, too! Whilst training their physical combat skills and practicing to use the winder rider, the boys still need to keep up for the papers. Who wouldn't be exhausted from all that?

Not only do their train and answer exams, but go in actual missions where their lives are at risk. Some of the things they do are keeping monsters captive, fighting against anomalies, and encountering risky scenarios that may lead to instant death. Even training a dragon is highly hazardous—do one wrong move on the creature and you are suddenly in the afterlife.

Then you remember their ages. They are either sixteen or seventeen years old! A year or two before they become adults. For boys in their late teens, this type of training can still be considered as tough. During the nights, they can possibly encounter awful nightmares or insomnia. It is considered a miracle for the Specialists to have a peaceful slumber, so it becomes unsurprising that they will be tired in the mornings. A cup of hot coffee or tea will keep themselves together.

Despite the possible cons of training in Red Fountain, the authorities still ensure the students are in good shape and they are both physically and mentally well. They all know that it is useless to fight when you are physically fit, yet your mind is slowly falling apart. Saladin keeps reminding himself to be firm yet considerate of his students, especially for his pacifist grandson Helia.

Just a headcanon, but Red Fountain might have a private room where the students who are experiencing panic attacks, immense anxiety, meltdowns, burnouts, and etc. will be comforted. It is like a room for therapy purposes and nobody in that room is judged for how they feel and/or react about a certain event.

Red Fountain must be very good at handling its students; in training, academics, and mental stability. It is rather difficult to control them all at once, but if it's for Magix, they will do everything. Red Fountain keeps a constant reminder that the students are not emotionless robots, but young boys with various feelings and reactions. They also keep in mind that some have neurological and/or mental disorders.

With this, Red Fountain and the Specialists need the respect they deserve from the people. All those sacrifices and trials were worth the battle.

Wow this is possibly my longest post yet. Anyway, salute to all the Specialists! 🫡

I think a lot of people are frustrated sometimes when somebody expresses that therapy just "doesn't work" for them, and I used to feel that way, too, until I realized that the therapy that I was doing just wasn't right for me.

When people think therapy, I think many just assume it's all cognitive behavioural therapy and that that is the only kind of therapy out there. However, this isn't true, and CBT can absolutely be ineffective for certain situations. If you are confused by this idea, here's an example: when I was in the midst of my most recent abusive circumstance, not only was my therapy weaponized against me by my abuser, but also, the therapists I had were ill-prepared to treat ongoing abuse. They had the tools common for CBT, but there is only so much a victim can do before their circumstances are completely out of their control. In a case like this, CBT can be an unhelpful tool alone, which is why you have people who blanket statement say that all therapy is unhelpful (understandable why one would say that if they haven't had any helpful/good experiences).

It seems like people see this idea that "therapy doesn't work" as an automatic red flag, and certainly, I can imagine why one would think that. However, in a healthcare system that generally prioritizes CBT therapy as the "only therapy," it's helpful to remember that CBT isn't always the best option or the best option alone.

Pac's fawn response will be the death of me. Cellbit holds a bitchy grudge for 8 years about something that was absolutely his fault and this mf just full on agrees. "I shouldn't have left him on that island" and do what instead, pray tell? Get killed by Mike? Kill him?

Maybe, stay with Cell, somehow.

Get consumed to let yourself feel loveable and loved or something. Give up your life for the facsimile of intimacy you seem to find oh-so familiar, if mind-numbingly terrifying. Cry with fear and choke on panic and pain as the guy who whispered sweet words in your ear eats from you yet again, ultimately uncaring and only taking what he likes best until you are a helpless, hopeless heap of unwanted parts on the ground, getting colder with bloodloss.

Sometimes it feels like Pac really doesn't value himself much, and him actively (though briefly, thank you jvnq) begrudging his survival instinct was... sure something

[marklikely]

this is so cool did you guys know they invented a type of doctor that can help you with more than one extremely specific issue

[blueheartedwolf]

I wish I could find a doctor that wants to find out what’s actually wrong with me instead of recommending prescriptions to address the symptoms. I’m so tired of being recommended ibuprofen for debilitating pain. Tired of relaying my medical history to a new doctor and getting the same furrowed brow and shrugging shoulders I get every time. Tired of having so-called medical professionals ask why I need a cane if I’m able to walk down their clinic hallway without it. When will someone fucking help me?

[feralthembo]

the fancy pants guy at my psych clinic had a fancy shirt on last time i went and it was a delight to see him as always

[tonysdumplings]

I'm a trailblazer in my family. after like 4 years of freaking myself out and a preemptive 'most likely yes" from a psychologist acquaintance I am taking a risk of going to a psychiatrist in my small town in hopes I won't get told to drink some water and find a wife or something

let's goooo officially diagnosed era

There’s gonna be a full post on Specialists (along with Paladins and a few other groups) but I wanted to post the Red Fountain uniform design and the full armour I came up with now bc I’ll probably forget about it.

[wishmemel]

everyone say they’re proud of me - i had a doctor’s appointment today to talk about me wanting to get tested for adhd / possibly anxiety too?

IT HAPPENED AND IM GETTING REFERRED TO A PSYCHOLOGIST ON MONDAY
