Made the mistake of rewatching the second season only hours or less after I finished it the first time.
#poorni speaks#I haven't even processed the stuff from the first watch#and I just got so much new stuff thrown at me#I can't handle the sensory overload of rewatching right away#I just feel stressed now and I need some food#or just to take a few deep breaths

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.
I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:
Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)
Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)
Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often
Eat dessert first
Celebrate well, and often
Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)
Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.
Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate
Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)
Walk without having a specific destination or goal
Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.
I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.
#mental health#mental health support#positivity#if anybody has ideas of their own definitely include them!#i just think being stuck with this feeling that you don't have autonomy and that you ultimately aren't an equal person or a person at all..#...in comparison to other people can be a really troubling and dangerous place to be in...#...and that isn't the person's fault for feeling that way. they didn't pluck those thoughts out of thin air...#...like i have felt that exact way all my LIFE because i have been abused for. probably 2/3s of my life...#...only within these past few years have i even FELT alive. frankly it's going to take a while to repair what i have been left with...#...so i know the feeling and i want to help others feel even a LITTLE bit alive. you deserve it...#...you deserve to take in a deep breath before slowly realizing 'oh my gd this is what it feels like to be alive' and SMILE about it#i want that for you even if it is brief. even if it is small. even if it is a whisper. i want you to feel alive#unironically getting rid of the idea of 'guilty pleasures' has made my life SO much better

ive exclusively been playing it by ear with the makeup (no tutorials or anything) and i somehow always end up looking like a secretary kind of so ive been practicing looking exasperated while wearing makeup cuz i figure i gotta work with what im given ya know
#image#thank you for all the kind words#i typically tend to stay away from full sincerity online because i think having a few layers between what you see and what i am is like#a reasonable safety measure for someone with a massive following to take#but i will say that im very lucky to have already accumulated a following of people so in support of *this* already#because it makes it much easier#theres still a lot of parts of it that dont feel real and probably wont for a while but right now#but while im just putting on makeup to feel pretty and posting pics for fun#before im ready to take a deep breath and fully commit to a shift of name and pronouns#just for right now#i appreciate it

if u see this post:
- unclench ur jaw
- lower your shoulders
- straighten ur back
- stand up and look at other things than ur phone

- drink a goddamn glass of water
- wash your face
- take a deep breath and exhale

Right and his work menaces (Brent and Karen).
I don't remember last I mentioned it but apart from crude nicknames to people (except Chris), he also just puts them in his phone really weird (except Chris, who is literally in his phone as Chris). And I bring this up because in Right's phone, Karen is saved as "Lawful Obligation".
#my characters#oops i fell in love#can you guys tell im stressed and hyperfixating on my own fucked up ocs cause i am#also brents nickname at work and in rights phone is fuckwad#and hes like yeah if im called anything else at this point by right its weird and uncomfortable#and when it is finally approached as if paul is only in rights phone as shitty-ex (answer) now that hes an excoworker#what was he in rights phone BEFORE the transfer#and right is like annoying dickwad ... karen is like oh i see thats why you call him a dick still#thats like a nickname from his phone name#and brent has to ask why fuckwad and dickwad and right looks at him and takes a deep breathe before saying#because i like the word wad and it is very comforting bc like a wad of paper ? you can throw it away#and so if i realize i gotta get rid of attachment i wad it up#also dont tell paul that dickwad was a form of attachment or he will never shut the fuck up about it#karen and brent both swear to never mention it to paul#paul is honestly such a weird anomaly in the plot bc he doesnt directly work at the same police station#but he is CONSTANTLY a topic of gossip or annoyance or updates#hes literally karens best friend! aside from chris he was one of the few right worked with who HAD touch privileges before right banned it#hes also just genuinely well liked but no one can actually tell him or he will become insufferable#which is a crime that rick is guilty of once when he meets paul and karen introduces him#and rick is just OH i know that name! youre her best friend#and she looks so betrayed and paul looks so delighted and stunned and radiant over this fact#and rick makes up for it before the night is over which is why karen forgives him - he made paul back in his place#anyway yeah right has lots of fears and hes my bundle of anxiety and i love him and his atrocious nicknames#i think i would die if i gave someone a rude nickname even affectionately irl#also also final note on this ig#since right is a detective and not always at the station its worth pointing out brent and karen just work taking calls and#doing misc other work at their desks which are nearby so they 100% bond and its wonderful#ok i lied final note on them is#for a very long time karen has to check with right to make sure she isnt annoying brent because he doesnt emote well#and shes scared she wont know if shes annoying him please help youre like the only one who reads his moods accurately

Season 4 Rewatch Drabbles 4x7 The Snow Queen
Summary: A series of 100-1000 word drabbles to accompany my rewatch of season 4 of Once Upon a Time. There will be a drabble–either a deleted scene, a “fix it” fic or a character musing for each episode of the season. Focus will be on Emma, Henry, the Charmings and Killian–with an emphasis on Captain Swan’s epic love story.
Word Count: 510
Other Chapters: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (8)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Note: This one hurts. The next one will too. It's not looking good for the one after that. One day I will once again write a season 4 rewatch drabble that doesn't hurt.
But today is not that day.
You have been warned.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ingrid was messing with her head. She knew it. She’d witnessed countless skips trying it without success. She knew what psychological warfare looked like. She shouldn’t be falling for it, but somehow she was.
You were their only child and they used you to break a curse, and they’re still using your powers.
How many times have you saved them? How often have you felt more like a savior than their daughter? And all it takes is one tiny mistake. One accident and you and your powers go from being their salvation to their worst nightmare.
I’ve been you, different, misunderstood, alone, and now they’ve chosen to have a new child, and don’t you think that they thank their lucky stars every day that he was born normal?
Yes, Emma knew what Ingrid was doing, but the problem with psychological warfare is that if your opponent manages to find your weak spot, there’s virtually nothing you can do to guard against it.
Ingrid had indeed found her weak spot, and she’d relentlessly dug her fingers into it. Unbidden, Emma’s mind flashed back to about an hour ago when she’d met her mom at the mommy and me group Ashley was leading. Her magic had been a little keyed up all day, and when she’d reached for her baby brother, her mom had seen it and pulled the baby back to herself, reacting in fear.
Fear of her.
The feelings of betrayal, of shame, of being not quite enough had overwhelmed her, and she’d run. She heard her mom calling after her apologetically, but it was too late. She’d seen the truth in her mom’s reaction.
She got it. A mother’s desire to protect her child is instinctual and overwhelming. But how could her mom, even for a moment, believe Emma would hurt her baby brother? Somehow, Ingrid had picked up on her deepest insecurities, and she’d used them against her.
The fact that Ingrid had been able to get under her skin like that bothered her more than her insecurities themselves.
Emma felt her magic roil and bubble beneath her skin. This wasn’t the pleasant warmth she was used to. This wasn’t a nice, banked fire on a cold day. This was a raging wildfire, ready to consume everything in its path, and the angrier, the more panicked Emma became the worse it got.
“All I did was show you who you really are. It’s you, Emma, and it’s beautiful!”
That did it. The last string of her temper, the last string of her control snapped. “SHUT UP!” she bellowed, baning her hands down on the table between them just as her magic erupted and the entire outer wall of the sheriff’s station exploded.
Emma looked down at her hands in horror, as she dazedly got to her feet and wandered outside. It was constant now, the flashing and sparking of her magic shooting out of her fingertips.
Suddenly the anger was gone. In its place, all that was left was the fear and absolute panic.
What had she done?
NEXT CHAPTER->
#season 4 rewatch drabbles#emma swan#4x7 the snow queen#my fanfiction#as someone who's struggled with anxiety this scene hurt#i just wanted to reach through the tv screen and help Emma take a few deep breaths#i know ingrid redeems herself#but at this moment i had rumple levels of rage for her

caveat that this doesnt matter and i cant stop anyone and no one should feel bad etc etc but. maybe id understand if i actually read/played it instead of getting scared and reading the wikipedia summary but. a lot of the ihnmaims / am computer content i see is. perplexing. unfitting? whats going on. far be it from me to not sexualize an evil computer but. i think this might not be one to blorbofy in quite the way ive seen yfeel
#draftsposting of the brain. few days pre-practiced words#anyway everyone take a deep breath and say THE OBJECT IS NOT CHANGED BY INTERPRETATION its not a big deal#i just see stuff and im like. Hm :?

Healing is so weird. One day I'm totally content with things, living my life and having fun. And the next day, I remember how things were. I become aware of the reality and how much of myself I lost. And then I can't stop the tears from coming out. None of this is fair, ya know?
But progress is recognizing that these feelings are fleeting and irrational. That sick brain is sad but my actual person is ok and proud. It really hurts but I'll be the better person for my own sake.
Gotta try my best each day and make the most of it, even if I sometimes end up just crying in bed.
#also I wish i could teleport to the random men im talking to like: fuckin reply to my msgs you assholes!!!#but yeah its so weird feeling ok and then all of a#sudden just spiraling cause the sad was too much#like hello? im ok??? why are you like this you silly brain. it's probs the undiagnosed bp. i need to take some deep breaths#and bite the therapy bullet in the next few months. BET
