I know it's more common to depict the Terror lieutenants as the strugglers and the Erebus lieutenants as the ones who have everything together
But they actually have so much angst potential. Please let my guys suffer and cry and be there for each others
#give me erebus lieuts hurt/comfort !!!!#once i have more free time and energy it's over for you all#im gonna hurt them and then patch them up#i have a vague idea for a scenario/fic where the terror lieutenants are the only well-adjusted ones#while the erebus ones are each having their own mental breakdown and its sooo good#one day ill talk about it... unsure if people want to read that tho

ehmmm its almost 3 am and im getting deadly overwhelmed so ill just. write about my ordem paranormal au and pretend someone will actually read it lol
first of all iâd like to explain that itâs an au from a brazilian tabletop rpg game but iâll try to translate the terms and etc in the best way i can, itâs an universe that happens in real world, except that thereâs...paranormal.. lol
ok so them
i like to use he/they for him but yk yk just he/him is also fineÂ
(theyâre 15-16ish here just to clarify)
theyâre an occultist who got caught by ordem (an organization that fights against the paranormal, occultists are people who work with the paranormal in a âpositiveâ way, to make it stronger and just fuck up the world lol), especifically by Grandark who is a real human here âcause oh my god his human design is SO COOL why kog dont use ittt, but Gran just didnât âfeel rightâ by arresting a child so he justÂ
âoh well do you want to be my sonâÂ
ânoâÂ
âalright idc youâll be anywayâ
Uno is a VERY annoying asshole teen, he likes to bother people on purpose, he also steals A LOT of food as a coping mechanism for his past trauma living on the streets and just having to deal with the paranormal with such a young age, he also have some trusting issues, so he donât really have a good relationship with Grandark or Zero (who lived with Grandark even before Unoâs arrive but thatâs history for another day *wink wink) and donât really pretend to like them, but deeeeep down on his feelings he likes them
thatâs his clothings!!!
his shirt is stolen from Grandark, The Pression is a 1980-1990 band (that actually exists on the ordem universe lol) and Uno is completely clueless, he just wanted some red shirt, his crocs are stolen from ZeroÂ
their second clothes are his work clothes! he work at a flower shop with Ryan (whoâs 17-18ish), theyâre not very... a good seller if i can say?? theyre always with the â-â expression and dont really care to learn about the flowers to yk... sell them...??? theyre just âyeah go ask RyanâÂ
Ryan tho is very patient and really likes Uno and is always trying to make him care about and learn more and just feel comfortable in general
their hair is naturally black, but they got the white parts with his affinity (itâs when the other side a.k.a the paranormal chooses you and makes you more paranormal than human, he have blood affinity) and the blue part is dyed by Grandark
Uno also know A LOT of occultist rituals, having it tattoed on his body
he have this one on his hand!!! (just for his gc actual tattoo lol), the ritual is the black part but Hwarin (who have a similar story of messing with the paranormal in a young age and working with ordem instead of getting arrested) thought it would be cool to do a drawing above it, at first Uno absolutely hated it but now he just âhehe :) dragonâ
this ritual symbol is called âDescarnarâ and im kinda unsure on how to translate it but itâs somewhat in the likes of âGetting Fleshlessâ, which... yeah! removes your skin and makes you bleed A LOT
he also have a giant other ritual symbol on his chest which he removed with the same descarnar ritual because it was craved on him and he didnât really..had a choice or consentment on getting it, i didnt really think when he got his neck tattoo but yeah it exists as wellÂ
also his eye thing isnât a tattoo, itâs actually makeup (eyeliner) he learned with Asin who does a âšglamurousâš eyeliner everyday (also Asin and Jin are like 25?? not quite sure about an official age but theyâre more old than canon)
he used to go on missions with Veigas but they were prohibited of staying together alone after...an accident...where they kept using rituals on each other until Veigas back was completely in raw meat and Uno had third degree burns [since Veigas is an energy occultist]), so now he usually goes with Ryan and Lass (who is 18 but heâs kinda childish as a coping mech- i wont talk about other characters today ok i promised that to myself), since Grandark is uhh âtop tierâ is the best term i can think of now on ordem so newbies canât go with Granâs team (which is consisted of Grandark, Werner, Grandiel, Baldinar, Serdin & Kanavan. wowie a bunch of homossexuals) (Peter was part of it but heâs retired)
also a fun fact heâs a dog person (in canon i think he would be more a cat person but yk yk au) and he used to call zombies as dogs, and he once tried to convince Grandark on getting a dog and,,,,,,,,he came home with an alligator,,,,,,,,,, ainât he so silly
#not really daily uno but also not-not uno related#again lmao sorry for these kind of posts#also i never posted any of these arts on twitter so!!! exclusive tumblr art!!!

I know you posted it days ago but you said something about wanting to rant about either karl or his fanbase and its been itching at my brain. Ive no clue whats happening or what is happening at all cause no one seems to be making clear points?? Or explaining anything?
Obviously you do NOT have to talk about it im sure it might be a sore point to rant because people can get SO needlessly rude to others over it. But if you want to idk explain? Just rant? Im definetly curious what it was over or about.
The "you dont need to talk about this" is amplified by the fact i am DAYS late and you are probably over it by now.
okay hi yes im happy to talk about this but i think i should preface with two things:
1) even tho it may seem like im biased towards him or being very defensive of him im actually a super casual karl viewer and the only reason i am super defensive of him sometimes is bc we act a lot alike irl and that is mainly because of our neurodivegency. when i say a lot i mean we share traits like "annoying" stimming (jumping around, making loud noises, repeating the same phrases until everyone is sick of hearing them), the difficulty reading situations, the very obvious issues with volume control and not just bouncing from subject to subject to subject as we fucking please. basically anything you've seen karl do on stream that is Very Neurodivergent ive done the same in my own way which is why i get defensive when i see people calling him annoying or saying they dont like him, usually for these types of reasons. that being said, when i say im a very casual karl viewer, i fucking mean it. i usually only watch him when he's streaming with other ccs i like or when he's doing chill alt streams bc even with the annoying donos, he's pretty relaxing and comforting when he's just fucking around by himself and he isnt trying to get as hype as he would on a main channel stream. so yeah, it may seem like im biased and sure, i guess i am on some level, but it's not coming from a place of me hyperfixating on him or me even loving him as a cc, it's coming from me being a neurodivergent who likes him just enough to get upset when i see people basically being casually ableist towards him.
2) i dont have all the facts or even a great understanding on what the fuck has been happening recently with his "drama"...mostly bc he talked about it on his priv, which im not on, and people are gatekeeping the tweets, as they always do, and basically making you "dm to see them" (which is already a problem in and of itself bc apparently in these tweets he said he didnt want them being ss and shared, yet they are being shared thru dms over and over and over again like. at that point just stop withholding the information and post the fucking shit, you clearly dont care that he said "dont share"). additionally, most of the threads ive seen on this situation havent actually explained the initial issue, just talked about his apology (a lot of people have said "it's bad" but havent said why and with no screenshots ((i havent asked for someone to dm me them and i still havent seen them posted, which is mildly surprising, but incredibly frustrating at this point)), i only have a few basic details i can actually assess it on) or they talked about the initial issue in very vague details so um. excuse me trying to explain this now, but ill try and make it make sense with how little ive actually pieced together.
(oh, also, here's my first rant about the ableism in this fandom which is way more broad. this is a pretty different rant from that one, but they're both pretty big reasons why i hate this fandoms treatment of karl)
so basically the problems started with mr beast being apart of a charity stream that donated either to autism speaks or to a similar company, im unsure on that part. im also unsure on if the people participating in the stream actually knew of this or not bc, from what i remember, the money was being donated to a separate organization that was like. under the bad company or some shit like that, idk how stuff like that works and also i read about this shit months ago bc this originally happened months ago and just sorta came to a head recently.
anyways, i think karl was supposed to be apart of this stream but pulled out of it right before (that or these were two separate streams and karl was supposed to participate in the first but pulled out while mr beast did both?? idk. regardless karl did not actually participate, just mr beast). from there people started doing the guilt from association bullshit they always do, this was also doubled by the fact that the chris being racist stuff came out sometime around then and basically he got dragged all over twitter for "being ableist" and "supporting racists" and i cant remember if he actually apologized when this originally happened or not. i vaguely remember him apologizing about something back then but i genuinely dont know if it was this or something else.
basically that died down eventually, a good chunk of people unstanned him but him and honktwt didnt end up getting the lovely lil technotwt treatment and they still havent yet, surprisingly. good for them honestly ajsksk
but now we get to the past few weeks and apparently something happened with him "laughing at someone saying the r slur" (it was mizkif, i believe), specifically when it was directed at other people, which is a big yikes, obviously, but when karl was called out for this a lot of people kind of. made this into a situation that it wasnt bc um. basically karl didnt laugh at it, he gave a few nervous giggles, as people often do when in a situation like that (and karl specifically said he does this in the one part of his apology tweet which i did stumble upon, although it wasnt the important part of the apology thread bc why would it be) and people fucking crucified him for it. they quite literally dragged a neurodivergent man for supposedly "laughing at the r slur" when he can literally reclaim it and also he was just nervous laughing.
and this is where the situation just gets really bad because they. basically forced him to admit that he was autistic on his priv to apologize for this. i havent seen the screenshots of him saying this, but i saw people discussing it and i am frankly so fucking pissed about this because sure, it was a bad situation, and i understand people wanting an explanation, but an apology? for a neurodivergent man nervous laughing at a slur he can reclaim? and then forcing the man to admit something he literally said in that tweet he didnt want people to know which is why people were being so gatekeepy about it while also LOUDLY discussing the situation, as if that wouldnt drive MORE PEOPLE to look for screenshots and ways to get ahold of this information? and then people had the audacity to call it a "bad apology" when they had quite literally just violated his privacy by forcing him to admit something that he shouldnt have needed to share in the first place if he didnt want to, which he didnt.
and this is why im so pissed off. karl is already constantly picked at and made fun of and called annoying for his neurodivergent traits, things which he literally cant help, things which are generally harmless, and now he was forced into a situation where he can now be further picked at and made fun of and called annoying bc they forced him to admit something private instead of just understanding and accepting that he had been nervous laughing at someone using a slur he has definetly been called for his neurodivergency.
tldr of my thoughts: yes i think karl needed to address this situation, it definetly looked bad, but twitter stans have this sense of entitlement with their ccs and because of that, they consistently take it way too far and harm the people they claim to care about so dearly. we've seen it happen time and time again with dream, but this is the first time ive seen them basically force someone to out themselves to make their apology "valid" and most of them still seem to not want to accept it anyways, which just makes me feel bad for him bc now that info is out their and people are just disregarding it to continue "holding him accountable".
anyways, i think that's all i can really say on this topic rn tbh, if anyone else knows this situation better please feel free to lmk clarifications and ill add them in since, like i said, i know fuck all thanks to twitter being so goddamn hush hush about the important details while simultaneously being the loudest mfers about how much they hate karl now instead of just fucking unfollowing and moving on.
thanks for the ask and im sorry if this is confusing!! i just think this is one of those weird situations where like. i think karl deserved some criticism for what happened and how he handled it or at least he shouldve been asked to address it but that just. isnt what happened, at all. he was harrassed. karl got harrassed and because of that he handled this situation even more sloppily than he probably wouldve and exposed private info about himself that he didnt feel comfortable doing and it just. fucking sucks tbh.
#shit self#asks#karl jacobs#discourse#fandom critical#mcyt fandom critical#dsmp fandom critical#ask to tag#ableism#only reason im even saying what he said in those tweets is bc this situation literally makes no sense otherwise and basically everyone on#twt already fucking exposed this shit to people in and outside the fandom by bitching#long post#bangerz

okay im posting my first and most important syndicate!dream propaganda !! if people are interested ill def post the rest
and because I'm delusional all of this hinges on that I want dream to actually be upset and brocken đđ„ and desperately needing help and not wanting to let anyone help him because connections bad blah blah but I know cc dream doesn't have the range and is also a coward so I have to do everything for himÂ
its under a read more bc its 1.4k words lmao
I think it takes dream a while to process being out of prison even though he should be taking advantage of his new freedom and new space. he spends a lot of time in his room just laying in his blankets or curled up under his bed or memorizing all the shelves of stuff techno left in the spare room. And philza and techno silently agree to make sure dream is getting socialization - knowing that he desperately needs the connection but is unsure how to go back to being ALLOWED to be around others. So they take turns going to his room at night and just finding literally anything to do in his presence. Phil likes to read the old books techno left in there. And when he sees dream peeking over he'll mutter something about how ""reading it out helps me think"" and will quietly read allowed to dream. Or he'll go sit at the desk with a creaky chair and write letters to the woman he loves, gushing over memories and sharing snippets of stories to dream. Phil sits there with a dopey smile and blushy cheeks and dream sits there letting his words sink in - knowing too late that he should never have convinced himself that pushing everyone he loved would somehow save him.Â
Technos more pacey- he likes to go in there and ""reorganize"" the miscellaneous objects he left in what was supposed to be a storage space turned bedroom. Sometimes it's stacks of pages ripped from old journals sometimes it's failed blueprints and plans sometimes it's old potion bottles that definitely got left a little too long and should NOT be opened - but whatever it is techno will grab it and ramble on about what he was thinking what he was planning why it didn't work and scramble to find an excuse as to why he's chosen to hoard whatever the object is rather than throw it away like a normal person. But dream just sits there and listens and asks questions or asks to hold whatever it is - honestly whatever he can do to keep techno from going to bed and leaving him in his room alone.Â
Lol okay the actual real important one that started all this is that dream eventually starts outwardly showing signs of distress when alone. At first he reeled when others would try to be around him. He still dealt with the conditioning of never being allowed to have regular visitors and being told everyone he ever knew wanted him dead. But once he realized Phil and techno were not only safe to be around but were happy to be around him he couldn't get enough of them. Dream lingers in the kitchen while philza cooks them all breakfast. He follows techno around while he haphazardly goes through chests looking for a specific enchanting book. He cracks his window so he can hear techno and philza laughing together while they sharpen their weapons on the porch :*) . And on especially bad days where something reminds him of the scorching lava flow or he gets turned around in a space too suffocatingly small he waits up because he knows philza or techno will come and wait with him at night.Â
And it's the evening that sam knocks on their door that sends dream into overdrive. The second techno opens the door and philzas eyes fall on Sam's armour Phil places a gentle hand on dreams back and ushers him to his room. Techno stands with his frame in the door physically keeping a barrier in-between sam and their home and eventually gets Sam to begrudgingly leave. But when philza goes to check on dream before bed it's obvious dream sat there listening to techno and Sam yell and threaten each other over his life. So Phil skips whatever ploy to keep dream company that he had planned and just sits on his bed with him. He doesn't even say anything besides the classic "it's alright please don't be scared" and "he's not taking you away from here" and "you're safe here, with us, you're safe with me and techno" and blah blah and with every passing whisper dream just drifts closer and lets philza be there with him and philza let's dream lean against him because he knows how badly dream needs the comfort and he's more than happy to be there for him ( -sobs- can philza become a better dad in canon we could've have had it all ) . God okay and finally the important part all of this had been leading up toÂ
And after sitting there and letting dream lean on his shoulder and dodging dreams pleas to tell him how techno got sam off their property dream eventually quiets down. Every time dream stirs to break the silence philza squeezes his arm and let's him settle closer. Dream can barely keep his eyes open but when Phil tries to say goodnight and shift to stand up dreams eyes shoot open and asks if Phil's actually going to leave for the night because a million things are running through his mind. What if Sam only left to not cause a scene and plans to return after the others go to bed and take him with no one there to protect him. What if Sam only left to tell everyone where he is and return with a mob filled with the people dream himself made hate him. What if techno made a deal with sam - to return with diamonds or precious items in exchange to step aside and let dream he hauled away. But Phil only smiles softly and tells him that he's just gonna move to a new spot and dream just sits there and watches Phil settle at the headboard. Dreams eyes follow Phil's hand as he pats his stomach to becken dream to come lay down. Like okay guys please hear me out so dream settles with his head on philzas stomach kinda surrounded by Phil's legs like a little nest :-( while Phil just tells dream to relax and get some sleep. Phil's hand is a weight on his back and dreams just kinda melts. And as dream finally let's himself wind down he thanks Phil for being there with him. philza takes in a breath and whispers "of course" and after a silent beat as if saying it out loud would bring him back in time he tells dream "me and wilbur used to do this when he was younger"
And dream just tells him that he's sorry and that if he "could go back and change it he'd give anything, sorry for letting it go so far with wilbur" and philza tells him that he "knows wilbur is sorry too" and he knows how mentally unwell wilbur got and that he "wished he'd checked up after the letters stopped sooner" and dream doesn't want philzas to blame himself there's nothing he could have done to stop what wilbur and dream had started between each other but there's nothing dream could say to make philza understand that. So he just tangles a fist in philzas shirt and hopes a "none of this is your fault" in an exasperated voice will convey that enough. He gives philzas one more thank you for being here and with philzas hand tracing little movements on his back dream finally feels safe enough to drift off. Lol lol lol ooooooo okay
:*) Loool what if techno used to have a weekly routine of weapon care like just keeping them clean and sharpened and polished. but after he rescues dream from his isolation and torment from quackity, technos sitting in the living room and goes to grab his axe and dream starts panicking and immediately goes to apologizing and begging techno to tell him what he did wrong and promises he'll try better next time (even tho he didn't do anything :-( ) and techno does his best to assure him he didn't do anything, that he's doing perfectly fine and even if something came up his first instinct would not in fact be to pull an axe out on him and techno puts his stuff away and they just sit together :-( after philza gets home he and techno talk and agree it would be best they keep the weapons out of site unless it's absolutely necessary.
theyre sitting like this L

Creek
send me ships!! u didnt specify which heart u wanted + i probs wouldve thought about all of them anyways so ill just do all of them ^_^ (under the cut bc its a little long)
â€: who is more affectionate in public? in private? its hard to say tbh! i think they both try not to be overly affectionate in public beyond hand holding and wrapping their arms around each other when theyre sitting next to each other! but when theyre in private, craigs deffo more affectionate <3 he'd deny it to hell and back but hes a big fan of cuddling and being all sweet on tweek when theyre alone
âĄ: who is the bigger romantic openly? secretly? i think tweek usually Seems like hes the bigger romantic, both openly And secretly, just bc craigs more reserved, but i think craigs super romantic in his own silly little way that other people dont really pick up on
â„: who is more likely to plan something big for valentineâs day? 100% craig. tweek deffo Tries to do big plans for valentines day occasionally, but it very quickly becomes too much pressure to plan some huge suprise!! tho i think craig only ever does big valentines day plans every once in a while - he'd much rather just exchange nice little gifts and spend the day alone with tweek!
áŠ: who is more likely to initiate hand-holding in public? i think it tends to be pretty equal! sometimes craig reaches first, sometimes tweek reaches first, and other times, theyll both reach at the same time n surprise each other !!
đ: who is more likely to make huge declarations of love in front of other people? craig, he 100% gets up on a table and announces to the room how much he loves tweek but Only when tweeks insecurities are getting the better of him. otherwise, he doesnt see the point in announcing an obvious fact to everyone
đ: who developed a crush on the other first? oh god this is a toughie... part of me thinks craig, bc i read this really sweet fic a while ago where craig admitted that he developed a crush on tweek back when they got into that fight in tweek vs craig... but the other part of me thinks tweek based off how badly he wanted to get back together in tweek x craig.... i think it could go either way, tbh!!
đ: who spends more time (possibly overthinking) what presents to get the other? deffo tweek! i think craig is just a really excellent gift giver when it comes to tweek, so he never really Has to think much about it. meanwhile, tweek always gets super stressed out about if what he bought craig is Actually something he'll like or not, and then he wonders if he should Make something for craig instead of buying him something, and then he wonders if the wrapping paper he picked was the wrong choice or maybe he did a shoddy job at wrapping it, but then craig opens whatever gift it is and his whole face lightens up n tweeks like "oh thank god"
đ: who initiates most physical contact? it depends on the situation tbh! i think tweek typically does bc he tends to try and seek out that small level of comfort that comes from having physical contact with craig. but whenever tweeks freaking out over [insert Anything here], craig will initiate bc he Knows that contact calms tweek down a lot
đ: who is more likely to send cutesy texts to the other? deffo tweek! he loves spamming different heart emojis and sending cute little memes bc he knows they make craig smile :) i think craig tries to Match his levels of cutesy-ness sometimes but he gets in his head about it a lot so he only manages to send a couple of hearts sometimes and the occasional sweet little meme (tho he Is the king of sending good morning and goodnight messages that always make tweek smile super hard)
đ: who spends time reading their zodiac compatibilities? i think tweek Started doing it bc he got panicked over the concept of them potentially being incompatible, but then craig was like "babe. our birthdays dont have anything else to do with how much we love each other" n so they just started reading them Together to laugh about all the things that all those websites say about their zodiacs
đ: who is more protective? i think craig tends to Seem more protective bc he can be so imposing, but theyre both Equally protective over each other
đ: who tends to get sick more often? who is better at taking care of the other? i think tweek tends to get sick More, but i think craig gets sick Worse and for Longer periods of time. n i think they both are really good at taking care of each other! tweeks really good with things like making craig soup and consistently checking his temperature, meanwhile craigs really good with things like making sure tweek is comfortable and getting him medicine
đ: who said âi love youâ first? or, if neither has said it yet, who is more likely to say it first? i think tweek would say it first, but Completely on accident. i picture tweek forgetting something at craigs house one day n panicking about it, and when craig comes over to bring back whatever it was, tweeks all mindlessly tells him that he loves him for it, n then he panics and slams the door shut in craigs face and goes n hides in his room (<- i gotta write a fic around that tbh)
đ: who believes in soulmates? tweek deffo believes in them!! craig is unsure about the whole concept, but whenever tweek talks about them being soulmates, craig tells him he agrees because, well, if Tweek thinks theyre soulmates, then maybe theres something to the whole idea!

Earth, Wind, and Coffee: Chapter Two Analysis
chapter one analysis
welcome back to another installment !! idk if many people are reading this, but i enjoy analyzing my writing so iâm gonna keep doing it :) letâs get started, shall we?
some fun stuff before we start!
the first scene i wrote for this story was the dock scene
usually, when i write, i kind of just start with whatever is the first thing that comes to mind. iâd had the bulk of the story outline in my head, not written yet, but i knew i wanted this reveal about the red lotus attack. so i started with it and wrote as far as i could before deciding i should start the beginning of the fic. most of the original content is there, with some stuff added on, but i took a turn from my dialogue as it didnât fit the narrative of the story anymore (well get to this point in a later chapter analysis, donât worry)
not me being heavily inspired by LOVE WITCH by bisexualyoda
around the time that i started this fic and was really writing for it, i found this story on ao3 and literally read whatever chapters were out at that time in a day. it was a story that also influenced me to write in asamiâs pov, as a majority of the story is from hers. (this isnât the only reason tho, but bisexualyoda is a writing god and what else could i do but try to honor them?) itâs a stellar korrasami fic that you should read if you havenât yet and if you havenât yet, what are you doing, please go enjoy that masterpiece
and into the chapter we shall go:
i kinda thought it was cool to play off this idea of a barista who canât sleep but itâs not because of the coffee like youâd expect.Â
now, being a diehard korrasami fan, i knew i wanted to apply this to my girls. and, i knew from the get-go i wanted korrasami to meet as if it were more book four, where korra has gone through something really terrible and asami is a really good friend whoâs there for her. so i thought it might be cool to put the two together and korra is a barista who canât sleep. then it was getting to what exactly the trauma was that korra experienced. i didnât want anything as severe as what korra went through in the series (our poor girl was wrongfully put through the wringer for four seasons) but i wanted something that would stick with her and still haunt her, even after a period of time. my favorite book is book three and i loved the red lotus antagonists, so i played around with their concept and turned it into whatâs in the story. i was really pleased when i came up with this and only made some minor changes (i had originally explicitly given korra insomnia. i decided to change this and keep it more ambiguous because i didnât want to inaccurately describe insomnia and somehow offend anyone who does experience it, i hate doing that) and then i was set to really start the fic.
more about povs:
so, when i first started writing this fic, the idea of multiple povs was an option. in the end, i chose only asami, for a number of reasons, but mostly for one in particular
just like asami, i wanted you guys to gradually learn about korraâs situation. sure, i couldâve went through korraâs pov and been all secret secret about it, but something about that idea doesnât sit well with me. i liked the idea of gradual connection and in turn concern. i sprinkled some little stuff here and there, to hint that somethingâs up, but i feel like thatâs the hook for you lil fishies to grasp onto. even in that very dock scene, i donât give it to you right away; i dance around it, just like korra does by talking about tenzin and the temple and i mention the water and korraâs jacket and anything but the reason why korraâs called asami at 2 in the morning to come see her. this kind of tension, this kind of urgency to know whatâs going on, i just donât think wouldâve been achieved had i had alternating povs.
something i really love about this chapter is how the first section and third section ends
Makeshift Boardrooms ends with korra being a complete angel and going above and beyond for asami and this presentation:
Asami is speechless. Inside, the tables and chairs have been set up as if itâs a long boardroom, fit with the donuts in the center of the table no one can ever reach. At the far end, a projector screen is set up and a loading screen is displayed on it. Asami stares at the girl, unsure of how to convey how appreciative she is for the gesture.
âKorraâŠâ
âI know,â she quickly speaks up, her fingers behind her back fidgeting even faster, âitâs a lot, but I thought you should get the best kind of practice! And, we hosted a movie night here a while back, I wasnât sure if Tenzin left all the equipment here but I found it all in one of the cabinets in his office and I,â sheâs looking at the ground now, âis it all right?â
âAll right?â Asami questions, truly confused as to how Korra could say such a thing. She reaches out, slowly, gently, placing her hand on Korra. The girlâs hands fall to her sides, Asamiâs fingertips slowly linger down from the bundled fabric of Korraâs rolled up sleeve to her forearm.
now, A Turn of Events ends like how we know:
Asami falls back onto the couch, ill prepared for the unexpected burst. Korra continues huffing, gasping for air, clutching at her chest and running a hand through her hair. Asami reaches out again and thatâs when Korra flinches again. She starts to sob.
âKorraâŠâ
âGet out!â
Asami sits, staring. She isnât sure if she heard right or not. Korra begins shaking, sobbing inconsolably. Asami just wants to reach out.
âGet. Out!â
Asami grabs her things and rushes towards the door, taking one final glance behind her shoulder. Korraâs hands cover her face, her body flinches and shakes, her sobs ring loudly in Asamiâs ears.Â
In between each desperate gasp for air, she can hear Korra whisper, âPlease, please, stop, stop, please, stop, please.â
Asami feels her heart sink and she opens the door to leave.
iâve bolded what i love most. it was actually unintentional, iâd only noticed after i finished the chapter and was reading through to edit, but itâs kind of beautiful, bittersweet even. there are parallels here, some less noticeable than others, but parallels nonetheless. the lingering of korraâs name is direct and the events after are strikingly different but in a way connected. in Makeshift Boardrooms, after the mention of her name, korra is sputtering word after word. in A Turn of Events, after the mention of her name, korra only says two words. itâs two sides of the same coin, showing how korra is unfortunately spiraling out and losing control of whatâs going on with her. typing it out is kind of hurting me, seeing how korraâs in pain, but im the author and i know what happens later so i shouldnât worry too much.
now getting onto asami in this section, still, the lingering of korraâs name is the most noticeable parallel. but, in Makeshift Boardroom, after korra responds, asami reassures the girl with physical touch, sheâs able to reach out to her. in A Turn of Events, after korra responds, asami doesnât react, she doesnât know how to. korraâs in front of her, clearly in pain, and she just yelled at asami, and still asami just wants to reach out to her. once again, unintentional that this happened, but sometimes itâs the unexpected things that turn out for the best. the diction i have here, in repeating the word reach, i think it just further drives home how heartbreaking this chapterâs turned out to be. (shout out to the section title, cause things really did take a turn here) it had all seemed so good, korra was opening up to asami, they were getting closer, and then all of a sudden BAM korra has a panic attack and in a moment of utter fear, she pushes away asami. i know i put angst in the ao3 tags, but now going over it as the author, i see my angst has really gone above and beyond, but hey, i really liked how this chapter turned out
honorable mentions:
in LOVE WITCH, asami and kuvira are basically besties and i loved the idea of their friendship and i wanted to have a go at it myself! finding kuviraâs place in the story, however, was a lil tough to navigate, but when i came up with the bodyguard idea, i really liked it. i hope you guys do too :))
idk if you guys noticed but outside formal fic/writing settings, i pretty much only type in lowercase. however, i do type in complete sentences and the only abbreviation i really use is idk so donât mind me lowkey projecting onto korra here. anyways, i know most phones have the default setting for texts to be first word already uppercase. i have mine turned off but figured korra would have hers on cause 1) she prefers it this way and 2) even if she wanted to turn it off, she doesnât know how to. plus, i liked the idea of her enjoying emoticons better than emojis. i love emojis but i always do a lil sideways smiley ( :) ) and to me itâs super cute and iâm sure korra would see it the same way
the end of this chapter is not what i had first intended! truth be told, i didnât know what exactly was going to happen at the end of the chapter, but i knew what would happen after it, i just needed a bridge. in my og timeline, i had a couple different options: the one i almost went through with was asami suggesting they move into together (which is admittedly super soon and super fast so like, it would scare off korra), another was something intimate that would still scare korra off (this one wasnât too elaborated on, perhaps a forehead touch, or super close faces, idk. obviously this doesnât happen, but it had been in consideration), iâd actually even considered something physical, but that was quickly cut off the list, as that is NOT how i wanted this story to go. anyways, because of how this chapter ended, the whole rest of the story changed and i couldnât be happier.
anything i wouldâve wanted to change?
im still super self conscious about the length but at the same time, also not, idk how to describe it. anyways, i think what i actually wouldâve liked is keeping something from the Home Life section i took out. when i first wrote it, asami actually had a desk mate and he was flamboyant and sassy and i loved him. looking back now, i wouldâve loved to have kept him and the scene with him, but i took it out cause i was scared the chapter was too long. after reading everyoneâs comments though, about how they donât care how long chapters are/longer chapters are better, i gave myself some more slack with the last chapters. his name was ryuichi, rip ryuichi
surprise epilogue is out now too, so enjoy the rest of the fic! if you have any questions, feel free to ask :)))

Top of 2019
With 56 films watched and 27 favorited in 2019, I composed a list of my top. By pure happenstance, the list is almost an exact third (18) of the total films watched. Be aware that I donât have as much to say about some of these because I took no notes after.
Because Iâd be biased towards them, I donât count the National Theatre Live plays.
Since the list is likely to be altered between now and the end of February (to accommodate for films missed), check the Lettboxd list later on to see an up to date listing, but be aware that it intentionally lacks the details provided here.
EDIT (01/04/20):
Woke up this morning religiously re-reading this and caught some grammar errors. Itâs almost like staying consistently well-rested is actually beneficial. While Iâm at it, Blind Rating (BR) is how worthwhile the film is watching âblindâ (or knowing nothing). The scale is 1 (worth it) to 5 (you must). âEh is essentially a 0.5.
1. Midsommar (USA)
Saw the original and Director's Cut in theatres and discussed them with a group immediately after both times. Iâm somewhere between really liking it and loving it. Still unsure. Hell of an experience with a lot to notice, debate over, and pick up on during the second viewing. Donât even get me started on the Christian/Dani matter. Dat tension, tho. Blind Rating: 4/5
2. Us (USA)
Saw in theatres and discussed with a group immediately after. Iâm digging the allegories and the way (I think) it reflects on society. Dem reveals, tho. Blind Rating: 4/5
3. Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am (USA)
Saw in theatres and discussed with a group immediately after. Two things probably play a huge hand in this not being atleast 3 spots lower: my demographic and the fact that her older self constantly reminded me of my grandma and a certain middle school teacher. Regardless, itâs an entertaining, interesting, and lively documentary with its many personalities on-screen all giving their take on matters along with Ms. Morrison herself. Glad they managed to finish and release this 1.25 months before her death. Blind Rating: 0/5
4. When They See Us (USA)
Saw on Netflix over the course of a month. Yâall, this one hurt too much to watch again any time soon. Admittedly, part of the reason why it hit me so hard is because I could easily have been one of them. Dat ending, tho. Donât forget to watch the Oprah followup When They See Us Now after. Youâll ball (again). Blind Rating: 3/5
5. Parasite (South Korea)
Saw an advance screening in theatres and watched a live post-film Q&A. I really like it. This hit me in such a way that itâs one of three films Iâm writing an essay on. Planing on watching it a second time soon so I can finish with a sense of accuracy. This isnât one that I would recommend looking at images for. There are some that will spoil the experience of the second half. Seriously, block the âParasiteâ tag from your feed if you can. Blind Rating: 3/5
6. Luce (USA)
Saw in theatres and discussed with a group immediately after. This was is so~ good as a thriller and especially in regards to being Black in America. Wanted to watch it a second time but never managed to squeeze it in before it left theatres. Dem performances, tho. Dat tension, yo. Dat score, bro. Blind Rating: 1/5
7. Them That Follow (USA)
Saw in theatres and discussed with someone immediately after. I love it. Blind Rating: 1/5
A drama influenced thriller about a religious and somewhat self-isolating community that's effectively blanketing a realistic romance. (snip) âLetterboxd review
8. The Souvenir (United Kingdom)
Saw in theatres (partially because so many movie peeps were shitting on it). I love it, but I didn't fucking love it. Was tempted to see it again, but didnât get the chance. Dat ending, tho. While it was a movie peep telling me the whole plot that caused me to gain so much interest in it [Cabin in the Woods (2011) all over again, amiright?], I must say that the less you know the better. Itâll make for... a more immersive experience. Blind Rating: 3/5
9. After the Wedding (USA)
Saw in theatres and discussed with a group immediately after. I thought I really liked it, but I love it. This was a trip down unexpected lane, le'me tell ya. The trailer is a spoilerful lie, but the Landmark's description is very accurate. People's experiences will have a heavy hand in how they react to it and feel about certain characters. The way they made this feel like a constant thriller was excellently done. Dat cinematography, tho. Go in knowing nothing more than what the previous link provides. Blind Rating: 1/5
10. Joker (USA)
Saw in theatres and discussed with a group immediately after. I really like it. Blind Rating: 1/5
(slight spoilers)
This was difficult to watch at times, but hella captivating throughout. Arthur's reasoning is believable, his sanity is questionable, and his life is indeed one hell of a joke. Like watching an extreme example of what happens when people on the lower end lose access to social programs. This can very easily be taken as a commentary on mental illness kept unchecked. More than that, it's a story about a guy who accepts his "crazy" and transcends poverty, circumstance, and societal bullshit... at everyone else's expense. (snip) âLetterboxd review
11. Miles Davis: Birth of the Cool (USA)
Saw in theatres and discussed with a group immediately after. I really like it. Captivating documentary in a very similar style to Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am, but with Mr. Davis never joining the âtalking headsâ (as people like to call it) and instead being heard as a constant narrator of his own biography. Regardless of how I feel about him on a personal level, this shit was a great watch and the ending hit hard. Still need to get his autobiography, though. Thereâs a nostalgic factor for me here since I was partially reminded of my grandpa while watching it. Blind Rating: 'eh
12. Queen & Slim (USA)
Saw in theatres and discussed with someone immediately after. Fuck yeah, I enjoyed this one. Dat soundtrack and cinematography, bruh? đđż The throwback soundtrack, main charactersâ racial group, and fact that they went to New Orleans definitely play a hand in why this oneâs not atleast 1 spot lower. Blind Rating: 1/5
13. Dwelling in the Fuchon Mountains (China)
Saw in theatres during festival and attended discussion days later. I really like it. Was long, but in a good way. Similar to Ash is Purest White (2018) in that I kept thinking "please end here," but would be glad it didn't later. It's beautifully slothy and has absurdly long tracking shots. The cinematography during walking conversations is notable. Dat trick, tho. Blind Rating: 'eh
14. A Girl Missing (Japan)
Saw in theatres during festival and discussed with a group immediately after. Bruh~, this is a hell of a personal trial. Didnât expect it to go the places it did. Blind Rating: 1/5
15. Dutch Angle: Chas Gerretsen & Apocalypse Now (Netherlands)
Saw on MUBI on phone. I love it. This goes over his childhood (for 8 minutes), career paths, photography of 9/11/1973's Chilean coup d'etat, the 6 months he spent on-set photographing Apocalypse Now (1979), and him as a person. What I didnât expect was how much he would get into the details of things happening during that filmâs development. Along with those details are interesting photos presented excellently in a way thatâs reminiscent of manga at times. I like the way the photos take center point and are treated like the foreground. Itâs like the director and editor forced themselves to remain aware that the documentary was showcasing 15% of the total slides housed in the Nederlands Fotomuseumâs archives in Rotterdam and that most of his Apocalypse Now photos were never seen. Dat score, tho [Ex Machina (2014) vibes]. Blind Rating: 0/5
BTW, it had its official (Dutch national) release by EYE Filmmuseum on 12/19/19 in the Netherlands, so maybe itâll come to the USA soon. đ€·đżââïž Forgot to mention itâs been added as a special feature to the 40th anniversary 4K blu-ray disc of Apocalypse Now: Final Cut (2019).
16. Receiver (Ireland)
Saw on MUBI on phone. I really like it. A very interesting short film in three odd segments. First was disturbing; second was about activism, protests, and politics; third was about the person I assume the film was made for. All compose what I took as a film about the importance of having reliable sound and hearing. Needs to be watched alone with good sound quality (for immersion). Blind Rating: 'eh
17. Bacurau (Brazil)
Saw in theatres during festival. I really like it. This was some Most Dangerous Game shit with a hell of an ending. The whole game is an allegory of civilized people's obsession with hunting wild animals for "sport". I really like the portrayal of history here and enjoyed the racial matters it lays bare. I can only imagine someone watching this without knowing a thing. Kinda wish I didnât even read the description beforehand. Digging the soundtrack. Blind Rating: 1/5
18. Little Women (USA)
Saw on 35mm and discussed with others on separate occasions. I really like it. This was just warming and sad. I felt for the main characters and actually felt satisfied with the way it ended. Considering the type of film, there are handful of typical things for me to complain about. That being said, the movie earned its stars back. I mean, did you not see their attic performances? Shit was dope. Blind Rating: âeh

Tell me your opinions on BatB 2017 (it's one of those things where left to myself I'll dislike it, but I am capable of flipping a mental switch and appreciating a bunch of things about it. ("Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes."))
i know its been like 15 years since you sent this but here we go. I liked the beauty and the beast live action movie for three main reasons. 1.) more detailed individual character growth 2.) good updates to the music 3.) gastoni mean, everything that people complain about is totally right, theres a lot of wonky stuff in the movie but idk i still just think its funand as a note before i start getting into it, i realized one big thing i liked when i watched linsay ellisâs video on youtube when she complained bc there wasnt very much romance but THATS WHY I LIKED IT LOL. the movie is more concerned with belleâs and beastâs individual character growth than their romance AND TBH if this movie had gone the way of maleficent and purposely shunned romantic love for the power of platonic love honestly that would have been a MUCH stronger plot line. beast and belle had real bff vibes. ah what could have been...
ok so 1.) character plots. this was a very 50/50 split bc gaston and beast got well developed arcs, belle only got like half way through hers before it was dropped, and the servants was like.....you didnt even try did u.gaston ill get to later, but the beast i loved cause he had more lines where he was just being chill and not sad or angry, unlike in the original. his story was very much about unlearning toxic masculinity and stopping the cycle of abuse from his dad, and i thought that was way cooler than the âchanged by belleâs loveâ trope. they seemed a lot more like friends and shared common interests in books. and like. when beast scoffs at belle cause she likes a âgirlyâ book like romeo and juliet but then she catches him reading it and enjoying it later? thats good stuff man. thats gooood stuff.Â
and just like. the song where hes singing to his mom ânot until my whole life is done will i ever leave you.....â AND THEN HIS MOM DIES AND HIS DAD LEADS HIM AWAY reblog uf u crie evry tiem.... and then when they go thru the book thing and heâs like Oh Paris I Love Paris What Shall We See First!!! an absolute cutieBelleâs story really started going somewhere and im mad that it just ended like âfigured out my origin story so guess im cool nowâ like no. they had a really good line in the song that went âi was innocent and certain, now im wiser but unsureâ and then thatâs never resolved! like belle has always been such a cool character who didnt let beast walk all over her and when he finally figured out her boundaries, thats when they could start to communicate like hello?? awesome woman alert and you just let that drop?? and everyone says that belleâs backstory abt her mom wasnt needed and theyre probs right but the scene where beast is like Paris?! meanwhile belle brooding in the background. good stuff. belleâs song, the plague doctor, her dad being forced to leave his wife behind.........................good food man good foodand the servants everyone has talked abt. the whole âit was our fault the beast was abusedâ nonsense, plus in general their line abt âwhats a servant without servingâ, and that evil village lady reuniting with cogsworth and its played off as a joke, like why do you gotta do these good men and woman dirty like that2.) music?? good!!!! good music. days in the sun? good. gaston song?? good!! kill the beast!!! so good. it was all good.3.) Gaston!!!!!!!!!! a problematic fave wow!!! i think what really makes him good is the actor choice. i generally dont care abt actors so i dont know anything abt the man, but he seems like a good guy ya know. if the actor was sketch playing a bad character id be like ew but cause the actor seems nice and hes playing a bad character im like whoohoo!! is that weird? idk whateverGastonâs descend into evilness is like. the character arc of the decade my man. the way you expect him to do his douchey thing in the beginning like in the original, but heâs actually not that bad, and u know he DOES have a point abt spinsters not able to thrive in this time period, like guilt tripping not cool, but he didnt say âwomen shouldnt read!!â so thats a step upand he like. genuinely wanted to win her over by helping her dad. like he really tried but belleâs dad really pushed all his villain buttons man! so he did a bad thing like not cool dude. and then!!!! then heâs got to stick with it and defend himself against the townspeople. theyâre not madly in love with him so heâs got to MAKE them that way. the way he turns around that conversation was SO good and roping lefou in against his will and jumping on the kill the beast thing to save his own skin. and from there heâs just gotta keep going!! heâs gotta hunt down the beast not just for belle but for himself and his standing in the village. like i just thought that whole spiral was done SOOO well. best part of the movie tbh. and even tho lefouâs sexuality was problematic, it really added to his and gastonâs arcs of one person becoming evil and their close friend jumping ship on the situation bc they know that their loved one is wrong.so like. yeah. live action beauty and the beast, man.
#onceuponymous#beauty and the beast#batb2017#but yeah it was for sure a wonky movie in general#i feel the same way abt maleficent too#good stuff i liked but over all ehh

Okay letâs try this one more time.
Questions from this thingy that I saw a friendo do last year.
Introduction: Acey. Thatâs it thatâs the introduction.
Diagnosis: Iâm working on getting a Diagnosis but Autism and some form of attachment disorder.
As of 2019:
Neurocognitive and Cognitive Disorder due to Seizures
Major Depressive Disorder
General Anxiety Disorder
Social Anxiety Disorder
Personality Change Due to Seizure Disorder ( later confirmed by a second psychiatrist to be Borderline Personality Disorder)
C-PTSD symptoms ( still waiting on final diagnosis but symptons have been confirmed and disorder is very likely.)Â
Autism more or less confirmed by multiple professionals but still waiting to be able to afford testing.
Symptoms:Â
Autism/ASD : Canât read tone. Hard time with social interaction. Sensory issues. Adherence to routine. Stimming. Scripting. Childish behaviour. Â Meltdowns. Hyperfixation.
Attachment Issues: I tend to attach/get attached to people really fast. At the same time I push them away or tell myself I donât matter to them. I also have a hard time getting attached to people. Itâs either super quick or like pulling teeth. I want to be with people all the time. Codependence I guess is the word Iâm looking for. Â
Social Anxiety: Iâm...basically always scared when Iâm talking to people? Iâm scared Iâll say the wrong thing. I have my answers and messages rehearsed and proofread and sometimes vetted by someone else ( unless itâs sensitive info) Â and I still feel like something comes across in a negative way. ( like This is too cheerful, Thatâs too morbid, does that sound dismissive? If I say This I fuck up in this way but if I say THAT I fuck up in another) It couples with my autism since that...actually makes me say awkward/wrong shit all the time.Â
Has come down since starting Lexapro but still present.
Emotional Flashbacks: Feelings that were there while you were experiencing the traumatic event. Happen at random triggers. Incredibly strong. To the point that they donât correspond to the stimuli and feel freshly felt. ( tied to C-PTSD)Â
Hyper-vigilance ( tied to C-PTSD)
Anxiety attacks
Panic Attacks
Donât act as mature as other people my age/more at home with younger people.
Hypersensitive to any perceived rejection.Â
Brain fixates on bad memories and repeats them : C-PTSD
Constant fear of it happening again: C-PTSD
Black or White thinking: Iâll think someoneâs sick of me or canât stand me at stuff like being left on read while also deciding I love them and theyâre the best person ever when they do something nice to me. Intense but have some modicum of self awareness. ( i know on some level people dont dislike or hate me, i still spiral though)
âDuckling Syndromeâ ( is what i call it) : Iâll see someone be nice to me and all I can think of is how much I want them to adopt me, to take me home, to make me part of their family. Itâs too strong to be anything but disordered. It hurts. ( possibly part of bpd)Â
Has in the past put self in bad situations to not be alone ( connected to bpd/attachment disorder)Â
Other Stuff I either need to mention to my shrink and/or hasnât been tied down to any of my dx disorders:
I want things to be Just So. Like I want a certain kinda paper for certain kinds of mediums in art. I want my food in a certain order. I eat it in A Certain Order I get really uncomfortable otherwise.
I think Iâve depersonalized or dissociated at least five times..but..only when things get REALLY bad...like when I spiral. I still get those two confused even after reading the definitions but itâs likeâŠ.I donât feel anything? But Iâm weirdly aware that Iâm supposed to? Like I flipped a switch. Also mixed with this weird its not real feeling. I hasnât happened in roughly a year tho so I dunno if it counts? Its been happening again this year. Still unsure if disordered or stress reaction.
I tend to struggle with depressive episodes from time to time. Like Iâll just lay on the bed and not wanna do anything. I have games to play, I have hobbies I could indulge in but I just..donât want to. Donât see the point.
Have thought that Iâd be better off not existing. ( AKA suicidal ideation) Currently under control.
Iâve developed these like...weird paranoia spells? Like this one time a cop yelled at me ( to mess with me) and I was suddenly terrified of him following me and hurting me and my dad ( which yes can be attributed to the amount of police brutality you hear about, especially to people who donât speak english fluently but like I saw it in my mindâs eye and it would not stop and the dude left and I was still seeing in my head him like following me home and hurting us) or like just recently some man asked about my dog and how much she was worth and this weird ass alarm went off in my head to get the hell away from him and what if he follows me home? What if he takes my dog? What if he follows me home AND takes my dog? Theyâre pretty sporadic ( though not as much as I want them to be)  but theyâre also really intense. Have stopped since I started Lexapro.
Physical Self Harm in the past to ground, to punish myself, in times of high emotion. All of the above. ( has stopped as of last year. Even intrusive thoughts about it are at a minimum.)
Obsession with being âgoodâ: If I ever do something I think is a mistake I all but turn on myself. I beat myself up. I think of myself as a bad person ( thereâs only Good and Bad for me..but only in regards to myself) I have to be nice. I have to be kind. I have to be good in a way thatâs disordered. ( this compounds with my social anxiety and bpd to bind me into being a âgood personâ ( someone who never gets mad never talks back never does anything but niceness irregardless of the fact that..itâs impossible) I tend to think if Iâm âbadâ that people need to punish me, yell at me, or hurt me. That I need to Atone) ( could be part of CPTSD due to past abuse. Answer pending)Â
Intrusive thoughts: mostly about self harm but also about âlearning my placeâ and...calling myself things Iâd rather not say. Iâve so far at least managed to recognize theyâre intrusive ( might be related to any of the disorders listed above but also with past abuse but unsure at the moment. Shrink thinks its tied to bpd. Could be tied to past abuse I havenât discussed in therapy yet.)
Disordered Eating of sorts: due to my mother being paranoid about unhealthy food Iâve gone days where I canât bring myself to eat something because Iâm scared itâll hurt me. Thereâs times where Iâve needed my friend to tell me to eat. Thereâs times where I feel like if I eat I have to exercise it off. Itâs about control, itâs about fear, itâsâŠ.about everything but weight. Hella strong last year. More or less brought under control as of this year. But remain as intrusive thoughts and pop up as intrusive thoughts from time to time.
React badly to being alone, especially at home and not getting social interaction. Depression kicks up, sometimes depersonalization ( might have ties to childhood epilepsy -having to be on lock-down and kept indoors a lot due to my own risk of being hurt via seizure- but combines with bpd/attachment disorders)Â
Have Shown Signs/Moments of Age Regression ( more often than not with the emotional flashbacks but not always)
Literally all the symptoms act up at night/around bedtime. Mostly anxiety but some others that have now been associated with bpd. Causes sleeping problems ( I hesitate to call it insomnia because I do sleep but it can get as bad as 3 hours a night until i just conk out at the end of the week -or 2 weeks- out of sheer exhaustion. Has been present since I was a teenager.)Â
In The Past: Recklessness and disregard for personal safety and care.
Sometimes get this physical feeling like my brain is overloaded. Often with hypervigilance or spirals where my mind races.
Stigma:
âIâm autisticâ âIâm so sorryâ
âIâm autisticâ âAnd youâre sure you wanna go for that major?â
âIâm autisticâ âBut not that kind of autistic right?â
âI mean if you need accommodations to take a test then are you really cut out to have that kinda job?â
I consider myself a very patient person.
âShe doesnât know any better. You know sheâs specialâ ( I was standing right there)
âI guess you donât love anyone huh?â ( I was uh..I was nine years old)
âYouâre codependent as fuckâ ( that one my abuser said to me...after...making me codependent on her..yeah)Â
âYou talk like a robot. Itâs like you donât feel anything.â ( eeemotianl detachment due to CPTSD in my teenage years)Â
âYouâre choosing not to grow upâ ( when expressing fears of develomental problems/disordered behaviour that could cause lack of maturity. I was asking for help)Â
âYouâre a lotâ
âPeople with your disorder tend to be a problem for other peopleâ
âYou need therapyâ âI am in therapyâ âThen why are you still acting like this.â
âYouâre just making excuses.â
âItâs like you like to cause trouble.â ( circa 2013)
âYou just wanna hurt people thatâs why youâre doing this.â ( circa...most of the 2000s)Â
Multiple people in my family constantly make it a point ( or have in the past like..for most of my life) to tell me no oneâs wanna live with someone like me ( Iâm forgetful and before I figured out some ways to help it and the depression was bad uber messy)
Multiple people in my family try to discourage me from trying things because âyou know you have that...thingïżœïżœ
And I mean..the usual constant bombardment of Autism being something you have to Fix. Of it causing people you love pain, and them never being happy because of it, of it being a defect.
People around me use autistic as an insult.
General comments about how horrible living with my mentally ill family must be ( ignoring that Iâm mentally ill as well) and how my parents probably wish we werenât disordered ( ignoring that they are also disordered) and how basically thereâs no way for us to be happy.
I think at one point someone actually said to me something along the lines of âI bet your parents wish you and your siblings were born differentlyâ
âIâm so proud you can do this incredibly easy thing that I think is all you can really do and Iâm gonna talk to you in the most condescending tone about it like whoâs a good lil autistic person look at you, talkin and solving basic problems and everything.â ( obvs paraphrased but thats...usually the gist)Â
Define Your Disorders
Autism: a developmental disorder that affects communication and behavior.
Attachment Disorder: the condition in which individuals have difficulty forming lasting relationships ( it was the only one I can find that doesnât talk about RAD as I donât have the criteria for that. This oneâs tricky cause I donât have the proper diagnosis for it yet, for all I know it could be part of a bigger disorder)
BPD:a mental health disorder that impacts the way you think and feel about yourself and others, causing problems functioning in everyday life. It includes a pattern of unstable intense relationships, distorted self-image, extreme emotions and impulsiveness. Symptoms include emotional instability, feelings of worthlessness, insecurity, impulsivity, and impaired social relationships.
Major Depression Disorder: Depression is a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest. Also called major depressive disorder or clinical depression, it affects how you feel, think and behave and can lead to a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may have trouble doing normal day-to-day activities, and sometimes you may feel as if life isn't worth living.
General Anxiety Disorder.: Â Excessive anxiety and worry (apprehensive expectation), occurring more days than not for at least 6 months, about a number of events or activities (such as work or school performance).
Amnesic Disorder Due To Epilepsy :Inability to remember events for a period of time.
Myth about your disorders and the truth
Autistic people are dangerous
Autistic people are unfeeling
Autistic people are uncaring
Autistic people are all nonverbal
Autistic people are all mentally challenged. ( I ??)
Autistic people ar a burden on their families/a parent who abuse or even kills their autistic child ( which happens so much itâs an acknowledged problem)  deserves sympathy.
Autistic people are brainy and mostly male.
Autism is a spectrum disorder. People exhibit different traits and while some hyperfocus on things that help them academically some hyperfocus on things that donât or that even make their grades suffer like other interest tend to. ( my hyperfocus was fanfiction and I failed like five classes because of it) I have a friend whoâs autistic and likes to party and drink and hang out with people. I have another friend whoâs autistic who likes to skate and science. Iâm autistic and I like neither of those things. Weâre all over the place in every way even when we do share some common traits
Literally we all have people and things we care about.
Literally all of us have affectionate moments. Iâm fairly physically affectionate if Iâm close to/feel safe with someone.
Nonverbal and autism arenât always correlated. Further, some autistic people go nonverbal for a bit but can speak other times.
Autism looks different in girls/afab people because weâve been socialized differently.
Parents who kill their autistic kids are just straight up horrible people and I resent having to be told to have sympathy for them while simultaneously wishing I had âautisticâ written on my forehead so I could be angry without a guilt trip and also simultaneously hoping to god I never stop passing for neurotypical because apparently the moment you show too many traits no one cares if someone hurts you or worse.
The whole âautistic people are dangerousâ thing is mostly people showing videos of meltdowns which only happen under high stress and is something people use to demonize us and make us seem like burdens...and is actually why the whole âsympathy for an abusive/murderer parent of a neuroatypicalâ thing is fucked ten ways from Sunday. We arenât dangerous.
I donât...have a lot for the attachment disorder since Iâm still waiting to figure out what that oneâs really about and I havenât reallyâŠ.met anyone else who has anything like it or shares symptoms with me.
I think off the top of my head itâs when people think itâs âcuteâ that youâre super clingy or go the other way and say people with attachment issues are uncaring. The first one romanticizes a behaviour that youâre trying to work on fixing/curbing and that is honestly hell. The second one is...is just as untrue as saying an autistic person is inherently uncaring ( or any mentally ill person for that matter)
Iâve also seen people say that people with any kind of attachment disorder are broken and that I feel confident enough in saying that theyâre not...and Iâm not.
Iâve been told people with BPD canât be aware of their own disorder and have been denied testing due to this.Â
Iâve seen people say people with BPD are a problem to others.
Anxiety: Iâve seen a lot of people who think itâs fake. And also that the only way you can have anxiety if youâre rocking back and forth gasping for breath.
Thereâs actually multiple ways to have anxiety attacks.
Tips for those who know/love someone with same disorders/symptoms
Well, starting off with, and keeping in mind that Iâm not a proffesional or expert in...literally anything ever like ever ever....
A very dear friend of mine once said âitâs a whole lot easier to be supportive than it is not to beâ Let people with disorders tell you what they need, and then respect it. Open communication and making them feel safe is key...to everything. Being informed is important but at the end of the day, different people will experience things differently and what they need is really down to them. Donât assume that reading about their disorder means you know what they need better than them. Donât talk about how their disorder affects you. Even if you have good intentions, youâre going to make them feel bad. If youâre a parent, donât talk to others about your childâs disorder in front of them. And if they donât like a therapist, listen to them as to why. Donât assume itâs just because âtheyâre disorderedâ thatâs lazy parenting.
Take triggers seriously, talk to them about what symptoms they need help with, and which theyâd rather process or deal with on their own. Just..show that you have that initiative, that youâre there for them. Listen. Be patient. Establish boundaries gently but firmly. If someone with my attachment disorder is ringing you a lot and you need time to yourself, let them know. Explain. Donât go radio silent. People with autism can be bad at reading you. Again explain, be patient, but donât just....leave them there to guess what they did wrong. C-PTSD is traumagenic in nature so Iâd add to taking triggers seriously, be ready for Tragic Backstory drop behind disclosing some triggers ( and understand how much they have to trust you to disclose that.) but also be ready for âI just donât want this in my field of vision and I donât feel comfortable talking about it just yet.â Donât push for details. Donât push period.
And also just....treat em like people you know. Disordered people are still people, let them exist outside their disorders and do the things that people in that relationship that you have with them. ( whatever relationship that is) do.Â
How your disorder/s affect your relationshipsÂ
In the past -and before I was a bit more self aware- itâs made me uber clingy. I would call friends constantly, message them a lot. Think someone was my best friend or even closer than they really were because they were nice to me. It scared people off.
On the flip side I would also convince myself people didnât like me or I was nothing to them the moment I caught myself having strong feelings. ( which as said before would happen mcquicklike)
As one can imagine this would put a lot of pressure on new friendships. Often it would sour them, sometimes it would make people dislike me. Sometimes itâd make them unconfortable. Which as my disorder also affects how I receive rejection...was..really bad.
On the flip side of the flip side I was also incredibly ride or die and it left me open to a lot of manipulation and abuse from friends. I couldnât be mad at them if they hurt me. I couldnât say no to anything they said. I needed them.
My anxiety also contributes to this as I would constantly go through a checklist of how many good interactions vs âbadâ or awkward interactions I had with people before I let myself feel like I was safe to call people my friends. Or even say I did okay interacting.
I had a lot of nights while I was making friends in college where I just felt like I was nothing to anyone. Like I was messing up. Looking back, it was just standard new friend interactions.
The more people mean to me, the more Iâd freak out-I didnât want to lose them. So it made it hard to even enjoy the friendship milestones I did achieve.
Iâm using past tense because itâs gotten a lot better as situations that were making this 10 times worse have alleviated somewhat but thereâs still seeds of it and sometimes it flares up. Iâm just aware enough I can sometimes if not stop it identify it as my disorder talking. I donât keep lists anymore but sometimes the thought pops up.
Facts About Your Disorder You Wish People Knew
I wish people knew what scripting and autistic burnout was. And that adults can have autism. And that vaccines donât cause autism so stupid ass people didnât risk their kid getting sick because theyâre scared of my neurology.
I wish the only thing when I search about
I wish people took triggers seriously.
I wish more people knew about attachment disorders period.
I wish people knew how hard it all is sometimes.
 Favorite healthy coping techniques
Plushies, pillows. Physical grounding techniques that include physical stimming. Iâm very tactile when it comes to my autism and stimming so grounding techniques were Good Textures are involved help double.
For attachment disorder spirals: Watching YT animators or vloggers. Like a lot. It recently chased off my sleeping problems.Â
Playing with my dog.
Walking outside.
Going to the beach.
Looking at buildings. ( I donât..I donât know why?? Itâs like a visual stim I guess? Like buildings that stand out to me due to their shape or being different than I usually see)
Basically going outside. ( to look at buildings, to look at nature, to the dog park, out in the grass in front of my building just..Outside Good, Inside Bad)Â
Sending fun stuff to friends/doing things for them.
I tend to get a good happy chemical surge from helping people/doing nice things for people so thatâs something I really like using to my advantage. Iâm looking at volunteer options.
Also cartoons and Disney Channel shows I watch a lot of those.
Cooking. I canât understand this one either but cooking and baking sometimes even gives me more energy.
Current biggest struggles with your disorder/s
Being at home tanks my mental health. I donât drive. So Iâm home a lot.
Seeing families be happy hurts sometimes. And thatâs my main confort narrative.
Seeing my friends with their families hurts sometimes. Â All I can think of is how much I wish I was a part of that. So I have to...not spend time with my friends.
Iâm afraid to live alone.
I canât get anything done sometimes. My train of thought has been crashing to the point that I completely lose it and I miss goals and deadlines almost every month. I need to get assignments done, build a portfolio, at least keep shrink dates, its all a hurdle lately. Even before that itâs hard for me to get stuff done when Iâm home on my own ( aka when Iâm supposed to be doing things) because all my brain can think is âweâre alone weâre alone weâre alone. Itâs too quiet. We need to talk to someone.â According to my shrink DBT will help with this. I canât wait.
Itâs hard to see a myself having a good future sometimes. Because of how many hangups I have and how late I am in addressing them ( Iâm 28) and how much there is to do.
 What not to say to a person with similar/same disorder/s
âYouâre making it all upâ
âYou should just get over it, it happened so long agoâ
âYouâre bringing me down stop talking about thisâ
âIts all in your headâ
âEvery one feels that way reallyâ
Anything dismissive.
Anything from the stigma answer.
Literally any kind of pity (granted thats more a me thing due to childhood epilepsy meaning i had to deal with a lot of that. But honestly Iâll stand by it bc Iâm not sure anyone really ...likes pity. ) Â
Ways in which your disorder/s affect your daily life
I deal with executive dysfunction which makes it hard to get anything done. I feel like Iâm starting over constantly. I feel like my age doesnât match my brain. All of this augments my depression.  I have to take days off in the middle of the week to just do nothing or catch up to all the stuff I havenât done. I miss deadlines or just barely make them. Iâm also a budding workaholic which I used to do to avoid dwelling on all these feelings so having to take breaks isnâtâŠ.something Iâm used to or really like. I at one point handled school, work, and 2 editing jobs. I used to do martial arts, I like running, I like swimming. Iâm the kind of person that needs to be on the move and lately thatâs hard because spoons and energy.
Also a lot of basic self care is hard to get done because of the dysfunction mentioned above.
Things that give you hope
The fact that Iâm finally getting therapy.
I guess having people I can talk to about it.
My family isnât as bad as it was back in 2014.
I guess I know that even if I feel like Iâm at a dead end, Iâll figure something out. Thatâs what I do. I mean thatâs life, you think things are never getting better or that somethingâs the end of the world but really time marches onwards and so do you and you figure it out. Things fall into place. I believe life has a funny way of working out. If anything because it kinda has to, it canât stand still yknow. I have moments of clarity where I just kinda remember that ( its not my first rodeo.in regards to hard times or Things That Happen..its not even my hardest rodeo so..if I got through that..you kinda figure you can muddle through this and see what comes next yknow) Iâm oddly hopeful for the first time in a long time so, itâs p cool.
Treatment types and personal choices
I spent most of my childhood, and teenage years...and early 20s dodging therapy and help due to it being controlled by my mother and having really bad experiences with it in the past.I do regret it sometimes but I comfort myself with the fact that it was what seemed like the best decision and i didnât have the information I now have about keeping her out of things.Â
After finding better insurance and getting into university I found a way to get myself a psychiatrist and am working on finding talk therapy. For the most part I tended to patch myself up a lot by finding ways to quiet the thoughts I had ( saving text messages to remind myself people dont hate me. Talking myself down. Joining social activities. That sorta home brew stuff. Iâve been soloing a lot of shit I probably shouldnât have been until recently but hey live and learn. Also I didnât have insurance.) As of recently Iâm on an antidepresant and hopefully going into DBT. That reminds me I have to call them.
Your support system
Iâve found some really nice friends like theyâve kinda just collectively adopted me and when your disorder stems from losing family that..thatâs been incredibly helpful. All my close friends are long distance but they help me. My younger sister is also there although i try to limit how much sheâs privy to as she just turned 18. My brother and I tend to spend limited time together due to him having his own stuff goin on but Iâd also put him there. My parents sorta count as....one supportive unit? ( they try with the best of intentions but it uh..thats..thats really all I can say about them)
Reactions from those who learn about your disorder/s
I get told I canât possibly have them because i âlook too successfulâ or whatever ableist rethoric they got going. When I talk about C-PTSD symptons I get side eye for âtrivializingâ it as they donât believe I can have it and think Iâm exaggerating anxiety symptons. When I talk about Attachment DisordersâŠ..I often donât because people always say something along the lines of âpeople with that are often too damaged and you donât fit the billâ which..ouch.
Mostly it goes from âyou donât look like a damaged and/or psychopath crazy personâ to âoh...I guess you are oneâ with a bit of âokay thats fineâ but still anger and impatience when I show symptoms.
I donât talk about my disorders a lot.
 Future hopes and dreams
Iâd like to get my attachment disorder under control as itâs the main life wrecking thing I have. After that or along with that Iâd like to live somewhere where I get the social interaction I kinda need.
I wanna be happy with whatever profession I have and just..my life in general.
I hope DBT helps. Whatever it is Itâs my first time even trying it.
I have a couple of personal creative goals but I donât wanna jinx them by disclosing them ( I did mention I had anxiety)
Interactions with other people with the same disorders
I follow some peeps with BPD and also folks on the spectrum on tumblr. I donât really have a lot of  analog interaction. ( again no driving + suburbia = being cooped up A Lot) My sister and I share some disordered traits so we talk about them often and that helps a lot.
Things you want to work on/improve
The whole black and white thinking and maybe getting things done on time. Iâd like to get the spirals under control too.
 Work/school experience with disorder/s
Shitâs hard.
Often I donât get the help I need and have learned to overcompensate/regulate so I can still get things done. I pretty much need to work since i donât believe Iâd qualify for disability. I get in trouble a lot for spacing out ( dissociating) and forgetting things at work. Work friendships are also slow burn if not just nonexistent due to my autism and people..not really knowing what to make of it. Iâll probably have to quit working while I study since I canât really split focus enough to do both lately. Further, a lot of my energy needs to go into school things staying afloat and that tends to mean I canât do things that contribute to my mental health ( i.e spending time with friends, going out, sometimes even therapy, taking breaks) as Iâve found out that sends me way back in recovery.
Free space!
Hereâs a picture of my cat. Sheâs a demon. What it said Free Space.
Family history of mental disorders?
Mother has Bipolar disorder and depression. Sister has bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders, Brother has anxiety and shows signs of ADHD, Dad has what we suspect is ADHD and possibly some disorder traits from past trauma. Used to have anger issues.
I uh..I used to call us âThe Madhouseâ for most of my late teens and early 20s.
Media representation of disorder/s
Attachment disorders: characters who are stalkers and so desperate for love family and acceptance theyâll do anything, even hurt people to feel it. Also often donât have depression and can do things like learn villain skills.
Autistic traits are often cherry picked and portrayed in an unfavorable light. I think Iâve seen some rare cases of actual representation though.
How do you feel about talking about your mental health?
I donât...like it as much as talking about mental health in general. Most of my life is...me running away from trauma and trying to reclaim a life outside of it. Itâs what I did with my epilepsy of course that one was easier because the seizures went away.Â
Talking about it feels like going back. I wanna just move on with it. But Iâve reluctantly come around to see that talking about it is a way to move on. And I mean its not like dodging itâs worked out that well for me so.
 The true face of mental illness (Selfie if youâre comfortable with it)
Aww yiiss. Selfies.

today in reasons i feel shitty: my friend blew up on me on twitter bc i kept ASKING him if he wanted to play dnd with us bc hes a part of our group. i asked him if he could LAST WEDNESDAY and he has been giving me the run around since then. saying âi dont know yetâ and âill tell you when i doâ. i tell him to let us know sunday at least, because the only days off he has are monday and tuesday. he says okay
sunday evening comes and he hasnt said shit so i ask him. hes drunk and i tell him weâll talk tomorrow. monday i ask him if he can play tomorrow and he says hes ânot sure and will need to ask if theyre playing mtgâ so i say âokayâ. he doesnt reply back all day. TODAY i ask him if he wants to play today or not and he says âi have to pick up a court summonsâ (not, âactually sorry i am playing mtg todayâ, not âi dont feel like playing, im sorryâ). i sound suspicious but say âokayâ and remind him we havent played in over a week AS IS. and he then GOES OFF ON ME for âguilt tripping himâ and âmaking it an ~obligation~ he playsâ and how i âstress him out by asking over and over againâ. when i tell him he should have told me straight out he didnt want to play instead of just giving vague âmaybe i dont knowâ answers he gets defensive even more and says âI DIDâ and when i say âno, you didnt, the only thing vaguely like that is you saying âim gonna be tiredâ on a question about your days off. thats not a yes or no answer and lots of us play while tired so why would i assume it was something elseâÂ
âWELL ITS NOT MY FAULT YOURE A BUNCH OF SADISTS WHO HAD TO TURN A FUN CASUAL GAME INTO A OBLIGATION WHERE YOU ALL ARE FORCED TO PLAY SICK OR TIRED! i cant even SAY i dont want to play because you all guilt trip me and get mad when i do.âÂ
see, he doesnt say âsorry guys my next days off will be full and im not up to it.â and apologize for keeping us waiting or giving us the go ahead to play without him (WEVE HAD THIS DISCUSSION BEFORE and PURPOSEFULLY made the game so if he doesnt want to play he can leave whenever so long as its not in the middle of a fucking mission. okay. its not like we just sit there doing nothing but complain if he cant play). he waits until the DAY OF OUR GAME to tell is he purposefully made plans on game night, no he cant change them, no he was absolutely always forced to do them right now during game time, and then get pissy when we all complain because we dont even have time to plan around him and have cleared out our evening for nothing and our time is wasted.Â
he then keeps going on and on because apparently i was just supposed to know the words âim tiredâ and his vague answers like hes genuinely unsure about the state of tomorrow were him âactuallyâ telling me he doesnt even want to play and i should have fucking caught on, he wanted to quit this game MONTHS ago. i was just supposed to know him being âbusyâ was a âsecret messageâ that actually meant âjust stop even asking me when i want to play a game and hang out with my friends! just stop inviting me in general! i dont like you or the game! its not fun and stresses me out and im LYING to you.â and we just all fucking ignore him and play without him and let him figure out we havent even been giving him the opportunity to join to play
which is so fucking. terrible. who would just assume âthats what you meanâ???? like imagine if you WERENT doing this and actually were really busy and your friends just eventually stopped even inviting you to game night, only for you to check the group chat months later and find out they have been playing without you and having fun and didnt even bother inviting you to anything at all. you just find this out. and by the time you figure it out they might have done a lot stuff or played games YOU wanted to play and they arent going to go back and replay the stuff you missed bc they just assumed you were lying to their faces and it wouldnt matter anyways if you were there or not. how hurtful would that be? imagine if some of your friends did that to you, would you be HAPPY they did it???Â
keep in mind HE is the one who picked out the VERY NEXT MISSION WEâRE ABOUT TO DO so fucking sorry if we assumed âHEY HE PROBABLY WANTS TO PLAY IT. YKNOW THE MISSION HE FUCKING PICKED OUT. THE MISSION INVOLVING STUFF SPECIFICALLY FOR HIS CHARACTERâ oh my fucking god.Â
now i dont know the state of our group bc he yelled at me more and said he quit and deleted all his tweets and our dm is miserable and put the game on hiatus for 2 fucking weeks. i feel miserable too bc my friend has been lying to me and called me a guilt tripper and manipulative for reminding him hes stringing along 5 other people by not being fucking honest with us and said its OUR PROBLEM he cant be honest even though we structured the game so he can take MONTH long breaks if he needs to just give us the heads up. i told him he could quit once we got more than 3 players bc do you know how annoying it is to do a full campaign w only 2 characters playing???? bc one of the three dropped out??? i told him to just fucking play until then and he could quit for real and he went âbut i DO wanna play : ( im just stressed!âÂ
well now ill just fucking believe every time he complains abt smth like âman i have to spend money on this thingâ that means weâre just not hanging out like we planned. im not gonna ask him if hes actually going to the ren fest even tho the bed situation was taken care of bc i just assume now that he only brought up the bed to tell me hes not fucking going and to fuck off. im not making a costume for it either if my best friend doesnt go im just gonna stay home.Â
i cant read the fucking air and he knows this. hes known me forever. he knows im ignorant and dont âgetâ stuff like âif someone keeps canceling plans that means they want you to leave them the fuck alone and stop even inviting them or talking to themâ. he knows im probably autistic and struggle with âunsaidâ social cues like that and he just STILL does this and calls ME terrible for not âgetting itâ and âforcing himâ to yell at me. im rtired.

Genre: Mermaid!au; angst, fantasy, fairy tale
Words: 2,2k

Summary: Your father, the king of the merfolk, has forbid you to come in contact with the humans. But as you see a ship with humans in need of help, you forget his rule and try to help. Unfortunately, you put yourself in danger and got saved by a beautiful human boy. Since the moment you lied your eyes on him, things have changed.
A/N: Hi! Finally after, I guess 4 weeks, a new chapter! I am so sorry that it took so long but writers block is a bitch and I visited my family in Poland for 2 weeks. I hope that you will still read the new update, eventhough I let you wait for so long.. I also hope that you can enjoy it. Maybe I kind of rushed the things in that chapter, but itâs because of the writers block and that the series might end soon ( idk how many chapters will follow, but the end is very near (sounds weird tho sorry)). So have fun my dears <3
<< Previous Chapter | Chapter 8 | MasterlistÂ
âWhen will this girl finally leave?â Amanda said angrily, her dress moving with every move her body does. She was angry and jealous at your relationship with Taehyung. She didn't exactly knew why you were here, at her fiancĂ©âs castle and she wanted you to disappear as soon as possible.
While Amanda ran around her room, screaming her frustration out, her brother Jimin laid on her bed listening to her complaining. âCome on, she isn't dangerous or anything like that!â He told her, even if he didn't believe his own words. Jungkook had told him how Taehyung looked at you and how he treated you. It was clear to everyone, even Amanda and Jimin that Taehyung was in love with you.
âHave you seen how he looks at her?!â She gasped to Jimin who was just rollhis eyes. âThat girl, whoever she is and where ever she comes from is in my way!â
âYou are overreacting.â Jimin commented more to himself than to his sister, he didnât bother to listen to her complaints anymore, he started to be sick of his own sister, who always wants her way. âWell, excuse me, I got to go dear sister. I will leave you and your conclusions alone.â
Amanda grunted at her brother, who was now leaving her room, but before he left it she added something, making Jimin turn around on his heel to face his sister.
âI am going to get rid of her on my own then.â
âWhat the hell are you doing now?!â He asked her, watching her laughing.
The castle started to fill with many guests for the Kingâs birthday. Many other Kings and Queens from other kingdoms visit the king to celebrate his birthday. It was already evening and the sun set down, letting the many stars dance on the sky and the moon shine so bright in all itâs glory. The castle looked magnificent in the moonlight, the many lights that came from inside made it look even more beautiful.
You were standing in your open window in your room, watching as more and more people came. You were already wearing a beautiful gown, that fit your figure. The long skirt decorated with many flower patterns, you loved it the moment Patricia showed you the dress. She told you that Taehyung ordered a dressmaker to make a dress especially for you.
Your hair was falling down on your shoulders in soft curls.
When you were ready you entered the dance hall, where you saw Jungkook and Jimin dancing the other day. The room was now filled with many people, wearing beautiful clothes, it was warm and it smelled like food, it reminded you of Jinâs kitchen.
You felt the people staring at you, so many unfamiliar faces were in front of you, watching you as you searched for someone you knew. But in all these strange faces was no one you knew. Regrets started to flood your mind as you scanned the room, maybe you shouldnât have come and stayed in your room? But finally you found a pair of eyes that you actually knew, you felt happy too see her until you realised that Amandaâs eyes watched you with hate and anger. Until now you couldnât understand whenever you met her, her face was filled with anger?
It felt like a sting in your heart by the thought that you might be alone for tonight in between of so many unknown people. You couldnât find Namjoon, Jin or Jungkook and neither Taehyung.
You were about to turn around and eventually leave, but a voice stopped you.                  âY/n! There you are, I waited for you!â Taehyung said with a bright smile, he looks at you up and down and is mesmerized. Taehyung took your hand in his and spinned you around, your dress swirling with you. âYou look beautifulâŠâ You smiled at his comment, indeed you felt beautiful in that dress. âDo you want to dance with me?â Taehyung asked you with a hushed voice. You werenât sure if you should take his offer to dance with him, you didnât felt comfortable to dance in front of so many people, especially when you learned it only a few days ago. But as you looked him in the eyes, all that didnât matter anymore.
âSure.â You answered him and his smile grew even more bright. He took you to the middle of the room, where the guests let a free space for others to dance. Music started to play in the background and you saw how the people circled you and Taehyung and finally you saw some friends of yours. Namjoon, Jimin and Jungkook were also standing at the side, with Taehyung and Jungkookâs father. Your three friends were sending you encouraging smiles and Taehyungâs father wore a proud smile.
Taehyung put his hand on your small back, while he held one of your hand. As soon as the Music started to get louder, you and Taehyung started to dance.
Your long dress dances over the ground as you dance with Taehyung. Your dancing wasnât perfect, but the moment was. You tried to concentrate on the man who was staring down at you, his eyes filled with so much love. The people around you, your family and Hobi long forgotten. In that moment you had your eyes only for Taehyung.
Everything was perfect until your legs gave up and an unbearable pain shot through your body. You tried to hold on Taehyung, but the pain paralyzed your body and you fell to the ground.
âY/n? Y/n?!â Taehyung didnât understood what happened. His face fell in pure horror, from one second to the other his whole world fell apart. âY/n...whats wrong?â He was unsure what he should do, he was just watching your face strained in pain he didn't noticed that Namjoon and Jungkook rushed to his side and tried to help you bring out of the room.
The guests started to whisper, which soon started to grow into talking. What was going on? Why did you stopped dancing? Why were you in pain?
The noise coming from the guests started to get loud and it hurt your ears, causing an immense pain in your head.
Namjoon and Jungkook brought you back in your room, Patricia and Jin also rushed into your room followed by a confused and sick worried Taehyung.
âWhat happened? What happened to her?â Patricia demanded an explanation from the boys, who just shrugged helplessly with their shoulders. The older woman shoved Namjoon and Jungkook away and sat down next to your laying figure on your bad. Sweat started to form on your forehead and your breathing was short. âShe is burning hot, we need a doctor!â
Taehyung could only watch the scene from the back of the room, unable to move or say a word. Should he have gave you your stone when he found you on the beach? Are you sick because he was too selfish to let you go?
An hour after the doctor finished checking you up and with deep regret he doesn't know what causes your fever and your immense pain. By now every guest has left the castle and almost everyone that worked or lived in the castle was either in your room or standing in front of your room. Everyone was worried about you.
âAll I can say is that she needs a lot of rest and that we can just hope for the best.â That is what the doctor said before he left and thatâs when everyone else left you alone in your room, so that you could get some rest.
Taehyung couldn't stay any longer in your room, he started to feel guilty, seeing you in pain.
All you wanted is to help him and warn him, the day the sea witch attacked his ship, but now you ended up at the edge of death. Taehyung wanted to punch himself, because he was too selfish and hurt someone he loves so dearly. You and his mom were the only women in his life that he could live with all of his heart, but why is it that he always hurts them? He was standing on the balcony to get some fresh air and some time alone to reflect his past actions and what he should do now.
âLet her goâŠâ said a voice behind him, he didn't notice that Namjoon has joined him on the balcony.
âWhat are you talking about?â
âYou know, in all of these years of reading I once read about something that-â Namjoon hesitated for a second, before he started to speak again. â I don't know how to explain, but y/n is in pain, because she wasn't home for a long time or in other words, she sick because she wasn't in her true form for a long time.â
Namjoonâs words confirmed Taehyungs thought, which he has feared for the past hour. It was his fault that you are in pain.
âYou should let her go Taehyung or she will die here!â Namjoon said.
Taehyung was fighting with himself, more like his heart was fighting against him. He promised to help you go back to the ocean, but he fell so hard in live with you that he started to hop that you could stay by his side. Now you were lying here with high fever and pain. He felt bad and guilty, he was mentally punching himself that he didn't gave your stone back the day he had found it.
You canât force love and sometimes you need to let the ones you love go, they can be happy again
âOkay.â He said, a knot already forming in his throat and his heart growing heavy. âI will let her go.â
Taehyung returned to your room, determined to give you your stone and tell you the story behind it, he wanted to be honest with you and tell you everything. Namjoon decided to let the two of you for that moment alone and went to the kitchen where Jin, Jimin and Jungkook were sitting and talking. All of them looked sad and the atmosphere there was thick. The king and Amanda weren't found anywhere, the boys guessed that they went to their rooms, but neither of them expected the next events. Taehyung came running into the kitchen, with wide eyes and short breathing. The words that came from the oldest prince shocked everyone.
âY/n isn't in her room!â
âHoney, I am trying to help. Okay?â Said Amanda to your weak figure as she dragged you outside of the castle and went to the sea. âSome fresh air will make you feel better, believe me! I once had to fight with these symptoms too and fresh air helped me.â
You weren't sure why, but you had an odd feeling by her words, you kind of couldn't believe her.
âBut the doctor-â
âScrew the doctor, honey. He is old and doesn't know what he is saying. Didn't you hear? He said that he doesn't know why you got sick. What kind of doctor said things like these and give up?â She chuckles and dragged you now quicker in the direction of the sea. âCome on, the air coming from the sea will help you.â
The two girls of you reached to the cliff where you saw Hobi days ago. The sea was dangerously rough and dark. Waves were crashing at the shores of the cliff, the water splashing on your face. It didn't felt good, it was really cold and you felt uncomfortable by it and all you wanted is to go back to the castle where it was safe for you. âAmanda, I don't think that this is a good idea. Let's go back please.â
âGo back, huh.â Amanda said standing behind you, dangerously near. âSo you can run back into the arms of my dear fiancĂ©, my soon-to-be husband?â
âWhat are you talking about?â Amanda started to be scary, her words were aroused with disgust and anger, what wrong with her and why did she bring you here?
âOf Course you don't know what I am talking about. How pathetic. You think that I don't notice that you are trying to steal him from me? Take my spot?â She said while slowly walking to you, in small steps, she stared you in your eyes, her sharp eyes digging in you own eyes. If looks could kill someone, you were sure that this look what have already ripped you in many parts. âY/n, listen here. He is mine and you will never be able to take him away.â
Taehyung and his friends searched every spot in the castle. It shouldn't be hard to find a sick girl, who was barely able to walk on her own to find right?
âHave you searched outside?â Jungkook asked his older brother. Taehyung didn't think twice about that instead he ran outside as fast as he could. He wanted to find you as soon as possible and get you save, back in his arms. Without thinking he ran to the direction of the cliff that was near the castle and the second he got near it he could hear screams and the horrible sound of a body hitting the water, down the cliff.

GET TO KNOW YOUR RP PARTNER! ( repost, please donât reblog )
tagged by ( kind of stolen but SHH ) : @smellslikejustice tagging: any mutuals !
BASICS
â NAME: kait â PRONOUNS: she && they ! â SEXUALITY: pansexual ! â TAKEN OR SINGLE: single pringle lol â FIVE FACTS:
if youâve read my mun about , i am a type 1 diabetic !! this essentially means that , no , i did not get it from having a bad diet / other things that are stereotypes around my illness , i got it from my body taking a look at my pancreas and literally drop kicking it to the point i could've died lol ( iâm good now tho !! )Â
i LOVE the legend of zelda series w/ a burning passion && i would fight the sun for it. ( one of the characters in the series helped me realize iâm not straight too :ââ) )Â
iâm hoping to buy a axolotl and a snake at some point in the next few years !!Â
iâm scared of spiders but tarantulas.. tarantulas look cute and itâs so conflicting lol
i am so bad at talking to people omg. i just get rlly nervous and i take forever asdgh iâm sorry haha
EXPERIENCE
â HOW LONG ( YEARS/MONTHS ) : about six to seven years !! â PLATFORMS USED: wolfquest , multiple webs rp websites , deviantart , google hangouts // gmail , tumblr â BEST EXPERIENCE: tumblrâs loz rpc ! i met some very nice people who helped me learn about formatting , icons && how to plot ! all in all : very good fandom && community. too bad none of my muses for it are really awake rn :(Â
MUSE PREFERENCES
â MALE OR FEMALE: girls. def girls. theyâre just easier for me to write , although i have been writing male muses lately too !! â FAVORITE FACE: .. midn.a from twilight princess â FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT: fluff && angst !! iâm a minor so uh. no smut here lol. but i love either destroying characters emotionally or making them and their relationships so sweet your teeth could rot out :ââ) â PLOTS OR MEMES: either oneâs good !! iâm a bit bad at convoâs like iâve stated before , so memes tend to be easier for me to get to , but i would love to plot with some people sometime ! iâve been meaning to work on doing that more so hmu if you ever want to plot !! â LONG OR SHORT REPLIES: depending on my muse and how interested â BEST TIME TO WRITE: when i have free time && the muse to do so :â) i tend to write later in the day and drift off into later hours since i have a awful sleep schedule. (( iâm writing this at 1:30 .. whoops. )) â ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSES: in some ways , yes ! a large handful of the characters i write tend to be a bit nervous && unsure , and/or are very motherly && tender. iâm def not motherly && i donât really like kids like they do either , so you can see how i contrast a bit w/ tori haha. but like tori , i have trouble admitting when iâm wrong && iâm bad at making amends / letting go of various grudges depending on the severity of the action done. so , basically , as i stated before , in some ways , yes.Â
#dash meme tbt#[ â ooc: NO ROYALTY HERE â ]#// one more fun fact: i was that weird kid w/ the w.olf obsession lol#.. i still have that obsession tbh but i can't help it i just. love writing them ok#and i love drawing them#anyway!! this was fun#i think i'm going to finish some more stuff up then head to bed haha

EPISODE SEVEN
âI AM THRIVING. ABSOLUTELY THRIVING.â - joey
HOH: Nathan UPSIDE DOWN: Emma NOMINEES: Jev & Kiki POV: Joshua FINAL NOMINEES: Josh C & Kiki EVICTED: Josh C (6-0)
ARIA
So,,,i highkey fucked up but all good things come to an end, I couldn't play the middle forever but the way it ended was just a little earlier than i expected. Also i handled the backlash of the dpov HORRIBLY! I did so many things wrong this week its insane even though i was on all day calling people i still fucked up,,,but its fine nothing i can really do to change that. But from here i want to fix things and do better, which does start with addressing where I fucked up so lets start with that woot woot (also holy shit that double was so draining this is the first time ive felt legitimately tired in a while and its only 1 am)Â
1. COMP FLOPS
-literally all my allies flopped on the comps when we REALLY needed to win and its even worse combined with the information I was told where people told me they were throwing just to do well instead- its clear they weren't being honest with me and I settled into their lies without an ounce of hesitationÂ
2. LACK OF KNOWLEDGE
I just really settled certain things poorly leading up to this night, i think somewhere i majorly fucked up is with emma, if i was able to get her to vote out nick or get jacob to dpov someone she would vote out i would be in a much better position atm but i didn't and therefore ive exposed myself. And if i was able to receive knowledge of her rose gold dpov before hand i couldve worked out a new plan that way
3. DAMAGE CONTROL
This is where i **truly** fucked up and its gonna show in my jury management too, like theres NO way i could ever get nicks vote at this point in time. Also my gut instinct after the vote was to lie about the way i voted to kiki/joshua/nick/jev when i shouldve came clean and used a bullshit excuse about how i heard nick was after me or something. It's gonna damage my relationships with all of them
SO wabam here i am slightly fucked due to me being a mess but its okay!! I'm still in the game and while im not in as good as a position as I was last time im still certain i can get back into everyones good graces!! And i mean this vote did reveal that a lot of people consider me to be in a duo with them??? which um is kinda weird HBFSHDF Like joey and emma were both calling us duo of the season and i was like....k cute cool totally called that and knew we were a duo yup yup- FBHJDSBF LMAO but i mean in terms of my own position you have the two trios (jacob/bri/nathan and jev/kiki/joshua) who are going to go after each other with Josh C and Emma leaning toward jev/kiki/joshua while me and joey lean towards jacob/bri/nathan. Its crazy that its literally f10 and its five versus five with hardly any true middle player (for now wink wonk)Â
But now that nick is out I need to think about whats next and whats my next big move. I think rn im involved with a lot of moves but im not the face of them (bri using pov on nathan, jacob dpoving bri) and such but if i want to win I have to make a move of my own and DEF need to work on jury management bc again nick is gonna hate my guts after reading my gbm,,,as yousef would say "oopsie whoopsie" so I think from here I need to get back in jev/kiki/joshua's good graces SOME how and im really tempted to come clean about my vote bc i think thats going to hurt me in the long run and theres literally already an alliance of all five of that side so like....whats the point of sewing mistrust but also, i do kinda want to try just being a dirty crime snake this game and seeing how much control I truly have on this game. Literally EVERYONE except those three knows my true vote and i've told them all to keep it to themselves so we'll see what happens,,,, im kinda tempted to pin the vote on emma just for funsies and tell them that "jacob told me hes close to emma" or some bs like that but also,,,thats kinda mean yknow? Its also a testament to test how much that trio trusts me which im GUESSING is less than emma but who knows maybe ill get lucky :DDÂ
Anyways in terms of moving on I really need someone who actually likes me to join jury so its not completely set against me the whole time but also im not sure how thats gonna go down ugh. I mean in terms of end game my options are starting to become limited because nathan/bri/jacob would all BODY me at the end bc at this point they've been the face of big moves and I hope my big move can be turning on one of them and getting them out at some point so when i really start to look at a realistic f2 I can win,,, im kinda leaning toward my new duos of emma or joey which is kinda a shocker to me too lemme tell u HFBSDF but joey's perception of the game seems,,,,messy and I think i can beat him while emma is def doing better but she hasnt snapped yet so i think i can maybe beat her. And then jev/joshua/kiki depends im not sure yet but the thing with them is none of them are gonna want to bring me to the end which is super frustrating (i mean i did just snake em so,,,maybe its deserved)Â
The thing is that I like being honest about my vote so trying to have an honest game convo with any of those three is gonna be really hard,,,,esp considering they were all my targets for live night but here we are :') And i really dont know what to do at this point which is really annoyinggg (annoying @ myself theyre all lovely) I think im gonna have to wait a bit before i can try getting them all to fully trust me rn i dont know this has been such a mess but im doing my best!! Before i end this probably poorly aging paragraph its trust ranking time
1.myself (FUCK, and i cant stress this enough, EVERYONE)
HUGE GAP
2.Brianna (shes slowly becoming more stuck in jacob's trap but i do still think shes loyal to me, god IS a woman!!!)
3.Jacob (hate having this man so high bc hes bodying this game but he tells me a lot ig :/ )
ANOTHER GAP
4. Nathan (we need to call and discuss live night but he isnt going to like nominate me or anything)
5.Joey (apparently we're a f2?? not sure where that happened but also hes cagey idk)
-smol gap-
6.Josh C (told me his alliance!! shame he doesnt know im gonna rat him out to my side teehee)
7.Emma (we're also a duo?? almost forgot about that but i fucked her over here a bit but i can build the trust back up i THINK)
anothe gap
8.Jev (he talked to me after live night and didnt ask about my vote so thats cute....not sure where we stand...help)
9.Kiki (we talked briefly after the vote but idk if they realized im a snake yet)
10.Joshua (the silence is deafening)Â
Not happy w/ my position yet and im likely to just come clean to joshua in a call tmrow because hes honestly really sweet and his friendship means a lot to me but i need to figure out how I leave me connection with jacob/bri out of it.. ill think of something
praying im not the most hated here but if i am it wouldnt be the first time ig, and thats on pewiod <3
JOEY
LETâS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I AM THRIVING. ABSOLUTELY THRIVING. Not a damn soul is coming after me, and more importantly, I have numbers on my side, and no oneâs gonna be pissed off at me on BOTH sides of the house. People say Josh C is playing both sides? Nah, itâs me. I need him out because Iâm trying to ride that middle man status. My ideal plan is to see Emma go home next week, so that way I ainât responsible. I want to get rid of Jacob at Final 7, and I will damn sure make that happen. Aria and I have a Final 2 that I plan on sticking to. Seeing Nick go was sad, but good lord it was I-C-O-N-I-C.
EMMA
Everything in this game lately has honestly pissed me off first it was me getting blindsided during live night even though i didnt really want to vote nathan if i was being honest i wanted brianna out over nathan because i thought nathan would be more easier to work with them boom Dpov and boom nick going i am like a little unsure if i regret using the dpov or not i do regret it well because nathan won hoh and sent me to the upside down and nick probably wouldnt try super hard for hoh but then again it seemed my so called allies were probably more closer to nick but i am not even sure my so called low confidence is my weakness in my games but i dont know how to be more confident pretty sure everyone beats me in the end at this point unless if i win an hoh if i do at this point Jacob/Brianna/even nathan getting nominated i didnt want nathan out before like if i won hoh i would of put him to the upside straight up nominate brianna and jacob if one of them goes off the block joey gets put up as a pawn after the upside down week im gonna do whatever to make it to the end idc if i go to the end with somebody i cant beat i just want to make this game enjoyable for me as i can i dont want to float for awhile then bring a goat to the end NNNÂ
EMMA
my shit list in order to who i target to who isnt on my rader
Jacob > Nathan > Brianna > Joshua = Aria > Jev > Kiki/Josh C > Joey
who i like most to who is most annoying to play on a game level (i dont really hate or dislike anyone on a personal level)
Aria > Jev > Joshua *tiny gap* Nathan > Kiki/Josh C >>>>>>>>>>> Jacob > >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Joey = brianna also joey would be higher but he lied to me for no reason even tho i didnt mind putting alot of trust in me and i love brianna on a personal level but girl i am not good socially with her which is my fault and her fault also jacob kinda assumed stuff about me like not big stuff like meta but he still told other people except me (people who are out who i love) Gina/Jakey > Saira=Nick=Monty=Mo *small gap* Nash >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> dog shit > Taylers dinner (dylan and the og homies know it) >>>>>>>>>>>> DEM
but yeah this game has made me happy because everyone is nice except dem but its been hard to play it because if i felt better i think i would of been playing a 100x times better game
JEV
So I'm safe but it comes at the cost of one of my two favourite people in this game. I've arguably grown closest to Josh C throughout this game, but I promised Joshua that if he saved me with veto I'd vote however he wanted and he wants Josh C to leave over Kiki. This week is me and Nash as final noms levels of ugly.

Tag, youâre it! (A.K.A 11 Questions)
Tagged by: @margri3t and @yanderr02 (Itâs been a long while since Iâve done this *gulps* I have to answer 22 questions omg)Â

2. Whatâs your favorite pastime?
Reading and browsing the Internet.
3. What kind of kid were (or are) you in high school?
In my early high school days, I was the quiet (but sometimes hyper) introvert who couldnât get along with any people unless they approached me. I suspected that I was a target of envy and that I secretly terrified people because of how intimidating I looked without even trying. As a student, Iâm slightly perfectionist, and I have proficient grades and awards under my belt even though I procrastinate and get mood swings a lot lol. Iâm more of a fake extrovert now, and I hope to get more serious with my studies instead of just winging them.
4. Favorite song?
Mistakes Like This by PrelowÂ
5. Whoâs your favourite artist? (can be fan artist or just artist)

Fish (I donât know the name of the dish lmao)

Justin Timberlake - Mirrors - Madilyn Bailey Acoustic Cover
10. Do you play any instruments? (If so which one)
I play guitar. I used to play the keyboard but our Yamaha broke so itâs been a long time since then. My fam and I may be planning on getting the grand piano in our old house in the capital though. Maybe I can practice again soon.Â
11. If youâve spoken to me, what was your opinion of me when we first did so?
My first impression was that you gave off a chill vibe huehuehue.
2ND SET
12. Have you experienced sleep paralysis? If so, how did you manage to handle it?
I havenât (sounds scary tho omg).
13. What is your ideal date place?
An amusement park.
14. Do you prefer living with your parents or living alone?
I prefer living with them now because I still havenât grown the fuck up :âââ)
15. Do you have any mental illness? Have you been to a therapist?
I thought I did but my parents donât think so. Iâve never been to a therapist.
16. What do you do when youâre stressed out?
I panic and then cry for a few, good minutes, then I cool down by talking to someone, watching videos, or eating comfort food.
17. What are your comfort foods?
Peanut butter sandwiches and milk
18. What is your favorite place to go when you want to be alone?
My room, of course. In school, I go to the library.
19. How do you confess to someone youâve known for a very long time?
Itâs easier said than done, but just gather the courage, talk to someone for advice, then simply go up to the person you want to confess to and tell them how you honestly feel.Â
20. What is your ideal job?Â
Anything that has to do with humanities really. Like a lawyer or diplomat. (Iâm still unsure about my career choice tbh)
21. What do you do on your free time?
Reading, watching anime, playing computer games, Tumblr, and chatting on Discord. Just chillinâ.Â
22. If you have a chance to own a exotic pet, what would it be?Â
Iâd rather let the exotic animal roam free in their natural habitat, but if I had to, then a rabbit, I guess.

9. Think of 5 things that are most important to you. However, you must discard at least 4 and let 1 remain. What is it?
10. Would you prefer if you met your online friends in person or continue interacting with them from behind the screen?
11. If you were given the power to shapeshift, what would be the first thing youâd turn into?

Hi! I'm starting to come to terms with having BPD but the criteria confuses me; is it okay for you to share how you experience it so I can at least get an idea? Thank you, love your blog!
Okay Iâve had this ask in my inbox for so long but Iâm finally answering it! Putting it under a read more as itâll be long.
Note: I wrote this for my boyf a few months ago (Iâm changing the wording), so it uses the old criteria! One day Iâll write it up for the new one
Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment
I am sensitive to abandonment. To me, when someone is angry, it doesnât mean âtheyâre angry rnâ itâs âtheyâre angry so theyâll leave me.â This is why i spent 6 hours arguing with my ex when he dumped me. Iâm hypervigilant so will over analyse behaviours a lot. People may catch me often saying âare you mad at me?â âdo you hate me?â or âare you okay?â randomly when I percieve a change in mood/behaviour as I will auto assume itâs a negative change and will mean theyâll leave me.
Also, I test people. And I hate it. Iâll say things like âwe can stop talking if you wantâ cause i want the person to say they wanna talk to me. I normally notice when im doing this and stop
Also I say âtell me you love meâ and âtell me im prettyâ to confirm my boyf wonât leave me
A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation
Basically, this means in my relationships (this includes friendships and family) I go from adoring the person to hating them, and back. I hate this, and I avoid doing it the best I can. People may notice with my friends one day ill say theyâre my best friend and the next ill say i hate them/they piss me off. My relationships are intense as my feelings are.
Identity disturbance: markedly and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self
I mirror others personalities, as I canât see mine myself. Iâm unsure who I am, so change a lot. My views shift with people im with, and i go thru obsessional phases with things and they become my personality (e.g. fnaf). It also means i relate to fictional characters a LOT and often mirror them (unconsciously). Iâve also had quite a few break downs where I end up repeating âwho am Iâ to myself, and I find it hard to describe myself to others
Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., substance abuse, binge eating, and reckless driving)
I donât binge eat, drive, or abuse drugs or alcohol. However, i do impulsively message people saying stuff that will start fights (havnât done this for ages tho). I may not have this symptom, altho I show it sometimes.
Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior
I get suicidal thoughts. When breaking down and crying Iâll say that I wanna die quite a lot, and I may make a lot of jokes about wanting to die. I get suicidal thoughts, well, pretty often. Maybe even daily. Sometimes fleeting, sometimes not.
Itâs fairly rare that I self harm, and itâs normally only at my worst.Â
I do, however, take part in mental self harm. Looking at things I know will hurt me mentally for example. I sometimes do this when my symptoms are low as i worry im faking.
Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)
Mood swings son, are the BANE of my life. Tiny things can change them, and sometimes they just change for NO REASON! Yeah, I hate this. It makes me feel I can never fully enjoy anything because my mood can flip to extremes at any moment.
Chronic feelings of emptiness
Itâs literally feeling nothing, emptiness. I get this⊠look in my eyes when im empty that i dont like. When like this i may talk about how nothing matters and say âwhateverâ and ânot that it mattersâ a lot. I get like this when im breaking down. When like this i become apathetic and, if Iâm really bad, kinda mean, and I hate it, cause i wanna be a good person
Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)
I tend to direct anger towards myself (blame myself for things) than to others. But ill admit I am quick to get VERY defensive and not listen to what others have to say if I perceive theyâre attacking me.
Transient, stress-related paranoid ideation or severe dissociative symptoms
This bitch paranoid! Which is also why Iâm not very impulsive. I often think people are out to get me and doing things behind my back. I will over analyse. I may accuse people of something out of nowhere, with no evidence. But to me, there is evidence. If this happens, please ask for my reasoning, and explain why itâs wrong. I dissociate in stress. Dissociation is where i feel disconnected from my body. My typing becomes messy, my thoughts disorganised, and I feel out of reality. I may ask things like âwhere am iâ or âi have no idea whats going onâ.Â
