#please be mindfull people

[dashing-through-ecto]

So, the Graphic Novel came out.

(NOT A SPOILER) I just want to say something.

For the first time in two decades, there's been new canon Danny Phantom content. Needless to say, we're all very exited about it.

As we passed the day of the official release, there are still a lot of people out there who don't have the GN, yet. There can be a lot of reasons for that. Some are still waiting for their copy to arrive in the mail, some live outside of America and shipping takes very long/the release of the book in their country has been pushed back (<- that one is me by the way) or they simply can't afford to spend the money on it right now (if this is you, there is already a google drive with the entire GN going around).

What I want is to ask you all to be a little mindfull when posting in the near future. Excitement is at an all time high and I know we're all vibrating to talk about the new content and share art/fics/screenshots/whatever.

If you post on tumblr, then please tag your spoilers for all the people that follow you that haven't had the chance to read the GN yet. This counts for rebloggs as well.

If you post a fic on AO3 or FF.net or any other website, then please either tag your spoilers or write a short little note into your summary so people will know and can chose to avoid it for the time being.

If you talk on discord or any other community website, please be mindfull what you say and where. If you're unsure where to talk, ask your mods. If you're a mod and want to help people feel comfortable in your servers, consider (for discord) to give people channels with role-bound access to talk about spoilers.

I myself have been spoilered multiple times already and friends have tolde me that it happend to them as well.

I don't want to ruin everyone's fun. What I'm asking is:

Please don't spoil the fun for people that haven't had the chance to read for themselves.

Hello,

Recently I went on etsy looking for some wolfstar stickers and I found this:

I cannot stress enough how devastating and horrible it is, to see the works of people who dedicated months of their lives to publish these stories for us for free and to find them AGAIN on etsy, and for that price! (It's in Polish currency, it's around 100$) Please, if you see this: report the seller and don't put your money there.

WHY?

I know there were already posts about this topic, but:

1. AO3 is a land of free literature - no one pays for the access to it, no one benefits from publishing the stories and it should stay this way, otherwise it will turn into another wattpad.

The capitalist market is a cruel machine that only focuses on money and profit. All that it says about growth and other seemingly mindfull bullshit is to propell you to spend more.

The freedom of choice, the endless possibilities of ao3, the fucking freedom to exist in the space will become limited to those who have means to buy and time to read.

2. If you want to have a book on your shelf, just download the fucking fanfiction and go print and bind it yourself. Is it more work? The price for it would be lower for sure and money doesn't grow on trees so it's not like you just have money - spend money, so think of it as an investment in your time and respect the author's time and dedication!

3. The urge to put a pretty book on your shelf is very sentimental and understandable but at the same time it's what the fucking book market wants - for you to buy, to collect, to look at the estetic value, not the meanings, not the author's words, not the ugly sweat and sour tears put into the sentences written. And, really, what good is the sheet of carton and paper compared to that? Think critically, people, don't get caught in this fucking money laundering system!

I'm so angry, can you tell? Now, once again, put down your wallet and report those sellers. As you wouldn't buy something from the Wizarding World because it would benefit Rowling, don't put money in those peoples pockets. I personally have no respect for those who steal and resell fanfics.

May we please ask for tips to how handle near constant anxiety?

Honestly, these days we probably aren't the best people to ask. It's been a while since we really experienced regularly disruptive dissociation and like... we had a LITTLE bit of anxiety today and it was enough to be a "damn okay lemme grab my coping skills out of the bag"; so take that context as a bit of a disclaimer that we are sharing some of this as someone who doesn't have much anxiety anymore

With that said...

The first thing I tend to like to check in is "are my physical needs met"; cause if you are dehydrated, hungry, sleepy, forgot to take your meds, etc, it is usually immensely helpful to address any of those needs as much as you realistically can with your current mental state since those sorts of things tend to play a role in symptoms.

I really like the "You Feel Like Shit" website to just go through a few check ins since I tend to forget them in the moment.

After that, assuming you can notice / be aware / acknowledge that you are anxious, it's probably a good opportunity to try to take a step back from your thoughts; You are in an anxious spiral / falling into an anxious spiral / having unhelpful anxious feelings / thoughts. Thats okay and normal, but its good that you noticed it. Since you noticed it, I'm assuming you probably don't feel like its helping you right now and/or would like to reduce it, so lets mentally take a step back.

Easier said then done, but largely this is where the skills therapists and mental health people always talk about regarding mindfullness and grounding comes in handy. There are a number of grounding techniques that can be used and I suggest trying a few to see which work the best. A lot of people like the 5-4-3 sensory check in, box breathing, taking 10 deep breaths, open recall of some favorite thing you know a lot about (I sometimes do naming birds or the first 151 pokemon), or just literally sitting down outside. The goal is to 1) make a bit of a break in the spiral so that you can simply observe your own thoughts and feelings in a more neutral and less overwhelmed state and 2) to try to reconnect and activate your frontal lobe (as the frontal lobe tends to shut off when individuals are out of their window of tolerance / having high anxiety)

If you can acknowledge you are feeling anxious in a way that is not helpful and take a step back, you can kind of look at the anxiety a bit more clearly to see the best way to try to help yourself.

In a more short term lens, I think it's partially important to kind of understand what KIND of anxiety it is and how its presenting; I tend to find there are kind of two main "types" of presentations I see (not official, just how I kind of mentally organize / conceptualize it generally) - Shutdown Anxiety and Energizing / Escalating Anxiety.

Shutdown Anxiety I tend to generally understand as anxiety that makes you mentally shutdown, unable to act, extremely avoidant, and / or makes you depressed; overall anxiety that makes you fall out of your window of tolerance and into a hypoarousal response.

Energizing / Escalating Anxiety I tend to generally understand as anxiety that makes you more active, makes you more irritable or workaholic or stimulus seeking, and makes you NEED to do something / move / stay busy; overall anxiety that makes you fall out of your window of tolerance and into a hyperarousal response.

Of course, it's not black and white and there is a lot of grey, but I think it helps to kind of first start by kind of trying to acknowledge where you are on the scale of hypoarousal to hyperarousal as it can help in navigating potential ways to help manage said anxiety.

I personally tend to find myself hyperaroused like... 90% of the time I experience anxiety so a lot of the coping mechanisms I use the most would be ones in response to the more hyperaroused end.

If you are experiencing hypoarousal with your anxiety, (I have a lot less personal experience with it but) distracting, redirecting, and grounding tend to be things that can be helpful; finding things to help you get a little out of your head can go a good distance, so finding a friend to talk to (about the anxiety or something entirely different), finding a game to play, finding something sensory to play or fidget with, finding something to look at, etc. It helps to try to engage with the world around you and focus on what you do have around you rather than getting lost in your head.

If you are experiencing hyperarousal with your anxiety, I tend to find that its incredibly important to try to slow yourself down, sit down, look around and take a breather. Finding something relaxing that you can do (especially if it helps fill the need to Do Something) can be great; for me, playing a management game / farm game or going for a run tend to help a lot.

A bit of a theme here is "opposite action"; if you are anxious and you feel a NEED to do things, you probably would benefit from slowing down and doing less; if you are anxious and feel a NEED to shutdown and do nothing, engaging in something small will probably help you out.

Overall, it can generally be helpful to try to find some self care / kindness activities can help reduce it some. It doesn't have to be anything big or necessarily related to the anxiety, but if you are generally in a place where you are doing unhelpful coping mechanisms that aren't making you feel better, it can be helpful to sort of try to place yourself in a situation where you can engage in a more meaningful and helpful hobby / self care / coping mechanism (playing video games, art, music).

In the more long term lens, it can be helpful to generally practice a lot of different coping skills, grounding skills, and overall developing both a better awareness of when you are feeling anxious / having unhelpful anxious thoughts. I find its often more helpful to try practicing these and exploring these when you are LESS anxious since its easier to do them then and the more you do them, the easier it will be to do them in the future when you are having extreme anxiety.

Additionally, I personally really like to just keep the window of tolerance and circle of control in mind. The Circle of Control is honestly a really nice thing to return to - in my experience - as it helps you recenter and focus on what things about the source of your anxiety you can control rather than what you can't. If you can identify and list out things about the situation that you CAN control, it gives you some help in developing a sense of more safety and progress to addressing the issue than the often "things I can't control" sort of way a lot of anxious thoughts get fixated on. It can be helpful to actually fill it out physically since it lets you kind of actually look at it a bit.

Hi uh, im sorry that ive had to make this post but it has really been bothering me and eating on my conscience for a while

I keep getting random asks in my box from people claiming to be from Palestine and need urgent aid. I really really do not trust these because I am an extremely small creator and theres little chance that these arent bots who are trying to contact me. Not only that but they all seem to have similar message texts that are copy-pasted. I did a little bit of research about this and ive basically been advised to trust my gut if something is making me uncomfortable.

That being said, even if these were real people asking for money, I have no means of donating because I have no income of my own (relying on family), and im also not really comfortable doing online donations, I prefer physical donations.

However I would like to stress that if anyone does have means to donate to the people of Palestine and aren't irrationally terrified of online transactions on websites you've been to before like I am, its a nice idea to support trustworthy good causes. Although I would personally say be careful where you donate and if something feels off then your ok to trust your gut.

this post is specifically to verbalize something that has been stressing me out and making me feel allot of unnecessary guilt for a while, as such I dont want to be dragged into any discourse because I am cripplingly terrified of online interactions like that to a point that it can eat into my personal life. If anyone tries to attack me for feeling uncomfortable and refusing to partake in online politics I will be blocking you on site, please be mindfull

Promoting More of my Fanfic

Already did a post for my Avatar: The Last Airbender series so now I’m gonna drop my newer project!

https://archiveofourown.org/series/3275791

MindFull - Never Alone is a One Piece soulmate au that I first thought of about two years ago but never published.

In this series, those that had the Will of D, have soulmates. Soulmates can be platonic or romantic but the central pairing for the series is Law and Luffy romantic. (Side pairings are largely undecided currently and I’m willing to take suggestions!)

Soulmates share a mental connection where they can share emotions and thoughts depending on whether there is only one D in the pair of two. If both soulmates are D’s then the pair will be able to share complete thoughts from birth. If only one is a D then they will only be able to share emotions until they meet and have physical contact for the first time, after which they will be able to share thoughts in a limited range.)

This story will have influences of Luffy’s fruit being the Nika Nika as well as an idea some of my friends and I have about Law’s fruit that will come into play later on. 

This fic series will deal with the full range of situations that Luffy and Law will encounter, this is a “Not everybody dies, some people live” type story, people are still gonna die but some won’t. 

The current wordcount is only 6,000 but I have a lot of things planned out already throughout their childhood and how having their connection to each other will change things. (i.e. Makino being Luffy’s mom because Law told Luffy what a mom is, Luffy having a more defined relationship with Shanks, Luffy befriending Ace and Sabo quicker because he isn’t as desperate for the relationship and is more mature, and things like that.)

If you’re interested please give it a read and let me know what ideas you guys might have and what you think of the concept!

What’s up!! I just wanted to start off with saying I love your poems so much, genuinely I’ve been thinking about them all day.

I’m a beginner and I really want to get into poetry but.. I really don’t know how to make stuff sound good together and get my point across, how do I do that? If you have any mutuals you could recommend for reference, tutorials even lmk !

- ���️

hi omg im so glad you like my work !! it really means a lot to me that you enjoy my work and that you take the time out of your day to think about it :). unfortunately i do not have any mutuals on here (this is legit just a sideblog i usually am only on when i upload a poem) but things i can recommend are:

ೃ⁀➷thetharus.com (seriously a life saver) ೃ⁀➷a couple people I know and/or follow on tiktok:

@/anakrutch , @/dontthinkaboutyourself, @/heronpoetry, @/painonpaper, @/itsallpeepaw

ೃ⁀➷listen to a lot of music and walk around your room for hours just spewing different lines until one of them sticks and then write based off of that

ೃ⁀➷try different formats !! you could always do an abab (a being the first rhyme and b being the second if that makes sense) or a haiku (5 7 5 rule - three lines: the first is five syllables, second is 7, third is 5 again). or you could say fuck the rhymes and just do words that sound pretty together. you could also go for this style / its personally one of my favorites / i just think it looks pleasing to the eye

ೃ⁀➷think of your own favorite words that you personally enjoy. ik i have a personal few ( marionette , nectarine , angelic , sunflower , noir , yearning , delicate ) and make on your title and spin the work off of that

ೃ⁀➷think about a time in your life that really afffected you. ik i sound like a middle school english teacher but hear me out. think of anything you feel you never got closure with. write about it however you want. think of finishing the piece as finally getting the closure you deserve. sometimes its nice to try and use writing in a healing/mindfullness type of way.

ೃ⁀➷be yourself. corny and true. thats about all i have. i hope some of that rambling was able to help you ! once again ty for appriecting my work and good luck :)

Q.: The first point of the five precepts doesn't talk about plants. Are they not sentient beings? Can we take their lives?

Supreme Master Ching Hai: Yes. They have a more neutral kind of energy, and we temporarily should take them in order to survive. They do not suffer so much like animal-people, so we are allowed to take them as nourishment. For example, if you cut one branch of peppermint, it will grow three, four, five branches after that. But if we cut an arm, a leg of a pig-person, it will not grow two, three more legs.

There's always a balance to things like this. Before you drop a bunch of details on some really heavy shit, check in with your conversation partner(s). Consent is important. "Hey, I have some heavy stuff about [mental health] I want to talk about. Are you good to listen? Its ok if you aren't, we can talk about [cats] instead."

And it's good to be mindfull. There's a world of difference between "My dad is mad at me for something small" and "I'm going to suddenly start describing in detail how I want to harm myself".

You can still talk about the second one! But please take away the suddenly, and ask what level of detail the other person is ok with.

And keep in mind, while most people will ask how you're doing, this is a scripted ice breaker that a lot of people will expect the response to be very surface level or even an outright lie of "fine, how are you". It does NOT count as informed consent for heavier topics.

Finally some progress:

Did a stress-EKG to calm my cardiophobia last week. Hear and behold, did not calm me... the doctor said everything was fine and looked normal but I still did not trust him.

Went home and google about childhood obesity and heart disease (was a fat kid) and got super triggered. (Please, if u have health anxiety dont freak out over what im about to tell because there are so many variables and things to this study and information we do not know etc) bit people who were fat in older childhood was 30% more likely to have heart disease in young adulthood even if cortisol test looked good (might have been if they looked good in childhood, dont remember if it was in both childhood or adulthood or just one of them) so i completely freaked out, stayed up and cried all night. I felt as I was doomed. Took a day or two to bounce back. Funny enough. My body reacted to that stress with such physical force I had a hard time grasping it. Chest hurt and anxiety wave went through my chest and arms. Arms cramped and hurt, they were burning hot and i felt sick. Everything in my body seemed strained. My entire ribcage, stomach etc. Today is the first good physical day since lol. Truly, belive me when I say anxiety create horrendus physical symptoms.

But. Yesterday I had some type of breakthrough. I truly try my best to get into mindfullness and I feel it slowly working. There are good days and bad, but im starting to see a little hope...

[alexandernotalex]

And I'm not gonna shut up about it

I've been suffering for years, since I was a child and I'm surviving only because I'm medicated. Due to my life situation I've never received actual OCD therapy maybe that's why I haven't recovered

But OCD is chronic. People think they are horrible monsters because of their intrusive thoughts.

And about intrusive thoughts: doing something 'crazy', spontaineous like dyeing your hair is NOT an intrusive thoughts. Actual intrusive thoughts are distressing, it's something you are really afraid of happening. Once when I was in a very awful OCD episode I was afraid I'm secretly an violent, dangerous individual. I was afraid I could loose my mind and harm my entire family. I couldn't be near any knives because I was so scared of harming someone. I got severly depressed, anxious and I was dissociating FOR MONTHS because I couldn't stand my own thoughts.

That's the peak of entire iceberg. Just a brief idea of what me and other people are experiencing DAILY.

So please be mindfull and educate yourself before saying things like this.

All those people who say: 'im so ocd' because they like their space/house/whatever clean

PLEASE TAKE MY OCD PLEASE PLEASE I CAN GIVE IT TO YOU

take my horrible intrusive thoughts, never ending anxiety, constantly doubt about EVERYTHING, time I lost rumminating/doing compulsions, other mental health problems related to my disorder
