Moonlit Dream Keeper

“On silent hooves

he steps

night watcher

dream keeper

oh great stag

may the moon shine

ever bright

may you cradle it

in your antlers grand.”

A/N: watched Bambi the other day and it always made me sad as a kid when Bambi grew up bc i liked his spots but i also liked his antlers. you’ll never believe how excited I got when i found out Fallow deer existed

also @cozybirch @cupids-fiction made some more food for you hope you like <333

the only important question you should ask yourself every morning is whether it's a "take me to the lakes" or "take me to church" kinda day and plan it based on the answer

[dreamspring]

The morning after I killed myself, I watched the sun come up. Each orange tree opened like a hand and the kid down the street pointed out a single red cloud to his mother. The morning after I killed myself, I went back to that body in the morgue and tried to talk some sense into her. I told her about the avocados and the stepping stones, the river and her parents. I told her about the sunsets and the dog and the beach.

The morning after I killed myself, I tried to unkill myself, but couldn’t finish what I started.

hey reblog this with a piece of your favorite poem, please

[eastsidelovers]

brought the chair in.

sat it down, maybe a little further in than i was welcome to. he awkwardly moved a gift bag on a table, probably saw the confused look on my face. moved the bag again, saw a gun underneath. whatever. who doesn’t have one.

earlier in the day he mentioned his boyfriend liked ducks. that they have duck trinkets all over the house. i saw one, laughed and said i loved it.

“do you want me to show you around?”

“sure,”

so he takes me to his living room. its rural trans masc bliss. fishing prints. duck decoys. theres a christmas tree up. he excuses the mess, him and his boyfriend are getting the decorations up.

he doesn’t say much about his boyfriend. he brings him up occasionally, but not a lot. only found out his name today.

i notice a sculpture for a class we took together further back in the house. i point it out. i’ve accidentally invited myself further in. i know he has to leave soon.

“this is my ‘studio’ i guess,”

“you play guitar?”

i see a fender in the corner

he does. i just sold my bass, but i bought a new casio today. i wonder if i’ll ever pick music back up.

“my room is in the basement, i’d show it to you but its a mess right now,”

i wasn’t even thinking about that because i know that if i did i’d--

“i know you have to go soon, so i can start heading out.”

i’m known for overstaying my welcome.

i turn around and walk towards the door quickly. i’m starting to put on my shoes and he stares at me. quick jokes and half half subtle half flirting about how i feel very watched, how he’s waiting for me to fall so he can save me, right?

i stand back up.

he looks at me like he doesn’t want me to leave. its in his eyes. i have to look away, because i almost habitually reach in to hug him. kiss him? and i go blind momentarily. i realize i am at the back of my head. i say goodbye. walk out.

i don’t know. i think i’m fucked.

The wind was rushing through the trees again, and although it felt distinctly chilly when it ruffled Algy's feathers, there was something in the air that whispered "spring is coming"… and there was something in the light which agreed. Massive black clouds still obscured the sun much of the time, but when the light did manage to break through it was quite definitely stronger and bolder than it had been of late.

There was no doubt about it: the dark months – those black and gloomy eight weeks surrounding the winter solstice – were over!

But it was Sunday, and despite the invigorating effect of the brighter light, Algy still felt weary and little inclined to exert himself, so he decided that it was time for all good folk and fluffy birds to have a well-earned rest – or perhaps even to take a rest if they had not exactly earned it…

Observing that there was a most inviting carpet of bamboo leaves in a particularly sheltered corner of his assistants' garden, Algy collected a volume of verse from his own personal poetry library and settled down happily beneath the mossy stump of an ancient elder bush. And on the very first page that he opened, Algy read a most apposite poem, for the light had indeed "won a fraction's strength", and the day "put on some moments' length", even though in fact the zodiac was not yet approching the Fishes, never mind the Ram!

How do you know that the pilgrim track Along the belting zodiac Swept by the sun in his seeming rounds Is traced by now to the Fishes’ bounds And into the Ram, when weeks of cloud Have wrapt the sky in a clammy shroud, And never as yet a tinct of spring Has shown in the Earth’s apparelling; O vespering bird, how do you know, How do you know? How do you know, deep underground, Hid in your bed from sight and sound, Without a turn in temperature, With weather life can scarce endure, That light has won a fraction’s strength, And day put on some moments’ length, Whereof in merest rote will come, Weeks hence, mild airs that do not numb; O crocus root, how do you know, How do you know?

[Algy is reading the poem The Year's Awakening by the 19th century English writer Thomas Hardy.]

Mossy Petrichor's healthy coping 101

Do you always dissociate from distressing situations, repress strong emotions or deal with stress by self harming? Do you have 0 idea what it means when people talk about "coping"? This post is for you!

I usually see this happen a lot in people who were emotionally neglected (like yours truly), which is unfortunately really common, but no less traumatizing

Psa: all of this is based off my own experience, as someone who also had no idea how to cope and learned it by themselves. This isn't medical advice!

So, what does coping mean?

When you go through a stressful situation, you can feel your emotions at a 10/10. To cope is to bring this down so you don't lose your mind. This can apply to anger, sadness, hopelessness, fear

I like to separate coping into two ways:

Expressing the emotions in a healthy way

Calming yourself and bringing the emotions down (when you can't express them, or when those emotions do more harm than good)

I usually go by 1, but 2 can be used for when, for example, feeling angry at someone who can't change. So you keep feeling this anger that you can't do anything about, and it'll just make you feel worse to keep feeling it whenever you look at this person

Here's some things to make sure to do if you're feeling shitty:

Drink water

Eat a meal

Shower/bathe

Take a nap

Move your body (go outside if you can)

Socialize, talk to friends

(think of yourself as an animal in the zoo. If you noticed them feeling bad, what would you do to make them feel better?)

Here's some examples of how to express emotions healthily:

Singing loudly, screaming, humming, stimming verbally, talking to yourself out loud about what made you feel bad

Acting, drawing, painting (it doesn't have to be perfect! Just express whatever those emotions feel like, in whichever way feels right)

Writing poetry, visual poetry, making playlists, writing (like projecting into a character, make them do the things you wish you could do to cope)

Writing about how you feel, crying, venting (can be counterproductive, so if you feel like venting is just making things worse, try something else!)

Dancing, jumping, running/walking, exercising, cleaning, stimming physically

Ripping paper, chewing on something

Baking or cooking, going outside, playing with animals, gardening, taking pictures

Here's some examples of how to calm your emotions when you can't express them:

Watch something that makes you laugh

Consume comfort media (make a list! Videos, series, movies, books, songs)

Play a chill game

Make a list of things that make you happy and read it

Listening to music

Taking deep breaths, tensing and relaxing your muscles

Engage with things that make you happy (a hobby, art, an interest)

Meditation, sitting and thinking about your emotions

This isn't an extensive list! Coping is a very personal thing, and all of these are suggestions if you don't know where to start! In the beginning, it can (and will) feel like it doesn't do anything, because you're used to immediate solutions to make you stop feeling unpleasant emotions, and healthy coping mechanisms don't work immediately - it's a long term thing

Some of these can make you feel worse, in which case you should just try something else. As I said, they won't immediately make you feel better until you're more used to coping healthily

Eventually, you'll reach a point where it feels more intuitive and less forceful and uncomfortable, but you have to get past this first phase! It's like building a muscle, and it takes work. With practice, you'll figure out what works best for you and what doesn't

I promise it gets easier :•)

Hey! I'm Petrichor/Petri, and I use he/they pronouns :)

I've been on Tumblr for many years now (different blogs) and I decided I wanted a fresh start!!

~about me~

I am a minor- over 18s are welcome on my blog, but no NSFW accounts please!! (terfs, homophobes, racists, etc. = DNI)

I am autistic- a lot of my posts will be related to this!! I also have a lot of mental and physical health problems, so be prepared to see a lot of vents :)

I have been battling a self-harm addiction for 9 years (currently not clean :/) and disordered eating for 6 1/2.

I am transgender FtM and bi-aroace (technically, I'm nebularomantic but, but I say aro usually as it is easier for people to understand).

~what do I like?~

My favourite film is The Imitation Game (my beloved <3), and I like shows and flims such as: Ghosts, Horrible Histories, Bridgerton, Heartstopper, Sherlock, Moomin, Good Omens, Bluey, Stranger Things, Shameless, Hidden Figures, Brooklyn 99 and Coraline.

I LOVE musicals. My favourites are Hamilton, Six, Dear Evan Hansen, Hairspray and Les Misèrables.

I like reading too!! My favourite books are The Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley

Music is my main coping mechanism, I listen to music every day and it helps me massively :)

>My favourite band is Bears in Trees and I mostly listen to indie/vent music and musicals

My hyperfixations are whale sharks, plants, stationery, writing, poetry, Hamilton, anagrams + word puzzles, birds, sharks, alpacas, space and The Imitation Game.

I have an ESSA (emotional support stuffed animal) called Ebony. She is a dragon palm pal and I take her everywhere!!
