#more memories

[nightmare-from-heaven]

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.

If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.

Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.

That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.

Give your brain a Daily Dose Of De-Frag.

Day 26- Lanayru Mountain

Perhaps dragon song sounds familiar. No matter; it’s time to get to business.

On that note, magnesis is reacquired! Purah’s still working on the other glyphs.

(“We’ll find a cure by the end of this year, I promise.”

“I hope we do, Mimi. I really, really hope we do.”)

((This is a totk au called familiar familiar! Zelda doesn’t go back in time, history is forever changed, and link is beset by ghost memories from his magic arm as per usual.))

AU idea: PV never regains memories, ancients don't reunite and the beasts are freed. Soul jam's powers are weak so SMilk aims to forcefully make PV remember and takes him to the spire (Little does SM know he'll get attached to this little compassionate Healer)

More details about this AU (currently called Slumbering Truth AU): Basically it starts off with Smilk being terrible and basically doing what he was doing in the 8th episode, trying to make PV remember and playing with his mind for his entertainment. He knows who PV used to be but PV knows nothing about him or his own past. He's confused as to why would this powerful cookie need him but decides to submit in exchange for the village being safe.

At first Healer is uncomfortable and nervous but gradually despite Smilk's intimidating look decides to play along his games and get to know him better. Smilk is surprised by the other's behavior (and unexpected wits and trickery) and what started with the urge to break PV down slowly became an urge to keep the other close since the other's intentions to know him were genuine and comforting and SMilk hated the thought of losing that (not that he'd admit that. he needs that Healer to see him suffer, right?).

Now he doesn't want Healer to remember, he doesn't snap at that cookie as much, he wants him to stay in this blissful lie because if PV knew the truth then he'd definitely leave Smilk and lock him again. If Healer knew the truth he'd turn against him instantly, Smilk was sure. For the first time in a long time, Smilk felt like he found someone to who he was connected and he wasn't going to let anything ruin that.

(It's a wip so I might change some stuff along the way)

Empurata!Prowl tries to actually communicate for the first time

What if he wants to say something but he can’t. What if he has no voice to speak, no face to emote, no hands to write. What if every attempt to communicate a message is essentially a puzzle of wit and creativity and yet, the first thing he goes through all these troubles for. Is to say “I love you”?

Don’t ask me how did they get in this room. I have no idea. They escaped the battlefield somehow haha

memories unlocked!

I know they say hindsight is 20/20 but goddamn, if I had been my parent when I was visually struggling in school due to what I now know is ADHD, Bipolar, and honestly probably some Autism (All my brothers have it and my sister shows signs. Don't do heroine when your pregnant kids). I might have had a chance. Of course back in the day Autism was worse than death cause we didn't understand it. And we still don't know everything about it cause it's on a spectrum and it shows itself differently in different people. And sometimes not even until they well older or even into adulthood. Of course many of those adults are not equipped to be adults at all and were most likely forced to just do it and if they didn't they wound up traumatized by parents who thought they were just "lazy" or "don't care".

Thinking back, man, I sure had a lot of tantrums-- not tantrums, melt downs. Normal kids don't break down into tears from simply hearing the word NO. And if it was over toys or something, then yeah. Probably a bit of a spoilage happening. But, when something as simple as being told not to sit on a pile of snow because it will melt and make your butt wet, a 10 year old should just kind of "oh okay." and move on.. not start bawling her eyes out and feel like she's the worst kid in the world for sitting on snow. That's not normal.

I didn't get any help mentally until I was 12. And that's because I was bullied so badly at school that I told the teacher I wanted to kill myself. Oh and this was after going to a complete strangers house and saying I had been kidnapped just so I get out of school. (Cops were called, my mom had already reported me missing, they connected the dots and took me home. Mom was sobbing and I was PISSED. I remember shoving her off of me and going to my room. Just a warning from law enforcement aka little white girl privilege's in America.) I was put under a 5150 Involuntary hold at a little place called the Loma Linda Behavioral Hospital. And if you want to fuck up a kid, then you stick them in on of those without explaining what the hell is going on. I was used to normal hospitals where my mom would stay with me. Suddenly, I was without my parents, in this strange place, by my self where I couldn't even go to the bathroom alone. (And this was only the first time I was put in there.) I was crying so hard I couldn't breathe. I wanted out. Under any means. So I lied. I lied my little ass off. Told them there was a girl at school threatening me and that's why I didn't want to go. At the end of the 48 hour hold they put me on zoloft and sent me home. That was my first anti-depressant induced manic episode.

Linktober day 10: the fire temple

Ghosts cry too, you know.

(The desecration of a loved one vs the undying determination to help preserve the future… a tale as old as time memorial. The sage of fire had sealed himself in his temple, preserving his soul in preparation for the day Rauru’s seals were to break with Mineru’s technology. But the Malice does what it does best— corrupt and twist, until nothing was left except a dying wish.)

Unfortunately, nobody knows ancient Goronese. So that story’s sort of going right over their heads and nailing rauru’s weepy ghost in the skull.

This au is called Familiar Familiar, and is totk without the time travel! I’m basically building my own lore at this point.
