#reverse SAD

[post-punk-revival]

I know the mantra of "don't trust how you feel when the sun sets at 5 pm" but we need a reverse version for winter thrivers because I should not be trusting how I feel when it's 82℉ with no clouds or wind

[coolyourdools]

sometimes l doubt whether I really have "reverse SAD".... and then today I came out of the T at 6:30pm and it was dark and chilly out, and I literally felt my heart jump in joy and couldn't stop grinning. WINTER COME TO ME 💜🤍💙

It's been ages since I've vented on here.

Why? Because life has been pretty fantastic actually. I've gone through some serious improvements in dealing woth my ptsd from being abused, I'm in a healthy relationship, I live in a beautiful house with said partner, I'm learning more about myself, my relationship woth my mother has a tenuous stability, I have my absolute DREAM job.

But you know what still gets me? Reverse SAD.

I fucking HATE summer. Summer is the absolute WORST time of year.

Let's break down the why!

I'm pale af and so the sun is my enemy. I sunburn driving in my fucking car. If I need to just run errands for like an hour, I have to practically drown myself in sunscreen or I become a fucking lobster in pain that then has to deal with peeling skin from the burn. Not to mention cancer runs in my family and at least 2 family members have had skin cancer. That's a real fucking possibility for me that I am ALWAYS aware of.

It's hot out. My ideal temperature is in the 60s. It's repeatedly in the upper 90s to 100s where I live in the summer. That just makes me hot, sweaty, and ANGRY because I'm so miserable in the heat.

I can't fucking sleep because I dont start feeling tired until at least an hour after sunset and the early sunrise fucks me over too. At the height of this miserable season its only dark from 10pm until 3:30am. FUCK THAT.

(don't even @ me with fucking black out curtains. I would only have them up for ONE season because the issue is that I don't even start to get tired until at least an hour after sun sets. That means I would need that expensive ass material in my living room that is like half windows and my bedroom and my office. I can't afford that to only need them for one damn season. Thats bullshit. Plus, in the morning I won't be able to wake up because it's so dark. I just want better fucking balance of sunlight damn it)

Fire season!!! Everything is nothing but smoke! Even if it wasn't too hot out and I actually prepare with enough sunscreen, you can't fucking breathe because the air is so shitty from the smoke!!!

I am a teacher. Everyone always gives me the bullshit comment of "oh my god! It must be so great to have summers off!" First of all, teachers still work in the summer. We spend time continuing to work on our curriculum because there's no time to do that in the school year. So fuck off woth having that time "off". Second, I get seasonal depression in the summer in part because of the lack of routine. There is no structure to the summer. For like a week thats pretty awesome because i get to attempt to get some sleep, but as its already been discyssed, the sun ruins that plan.

More with the lack of routine: Every. Single. Summer. People are gone. Don't get me wrong, I love that people get to have adventures! But my social life becomes the equivalent of a ghost town every summer because there's no routine. There's no socializing with people who are off on their family vacations. Plus! Oh PLUS! If I'm not the one organizing the time, place, people, and doing all the communicating, nothing happens! It's not like people ever invite me! So that's a real good mental health motivator to realize that when I don't have the energy to make it happen because I'm suffering from seasonal depression, no one is going to reach out! Yeah. That's just fucking greeeaaaat for my self worth in the midst of depression.

So yeah.

Fuck summer.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

You don’t understand, I NEED to see how Adrien would pretend to be Félix for something. I need some sort of situation where Félix needs Adrien to pretend to be him for a few hours so he can get away for a while and for Adrien to at first be like, “You sure? I’m kinda rusty but I think I can pull it off!” And then for Adrien to immediately dial up the dramatics the second he’s in Félix’s clothes.

I need Adrien to exaggerate all of his cousin’s traits, being over the top cryptic, cold, and snarky one moment then a dramatic showman the next. I need Adrien to visibly be having so much fun because he’s helping his cousin by making fun of him a little. I need Félix to witness Adrien’s performance and be like, “Oh no, he’s terrible, this was a mistake—” but then be absolutely wrecked by the knowledge that NOBODY is noticing a difference aside from like, Kagami and have a mini crisis of “Is this how I act?? That’s not how I act?? How are they falling for this??”

And by the end of it Adrien is like, “Y’know, that was really fun! We should do this more often, I see why you do it all the time! :D” And Félix is just sitting there. Head in hands. Grappling with this new information.

Also just:

Adrien, pulling out an absurd amount of stolen rings out of his pockets: Also what do you do with these once you’ve got them? I might’ve committed to the role a little too much.

Kagami, nodding along very seriously: Your method acting is incredible.

Félix, staring in horror: I’m not a kleptomaniac… Am I?

Just a reminder the sun is going away and soon it will be time for us creatures of darkness and cold and gloom to emerge and stalk the night, preying upon the lethargy of summer people. You've had your time in the sun. But now the sun will set at 5pm and it's our turn

I’m trying so hard to feel the “summer vibe” but I fear I’m in a constant state of winter

So i remember an ask mentioning your mortal enemy, Felis Atra and their cats, and i thought it'd be fun to draw what Felis Atra's version of your italian dogs would be.

I think they would be called Butter Knife and Flamengo! Butter Knife is not his real name, it's an nickname given by his peers because of how harmless he is. I choose Flamengo because that's the name of Vasco's rival football team here in Brazil, so i thought that was the perfect name :)

Cat Machete was slightly inspired by the Oriental Shorthair cat because of their long noses and thin head shape.

Cat Vasco was inspired by the Scottish Fold cat, because FLOPPY EARS. I gave Flamengo longer ears and orange fur to make him more like his look-alike.

The last doodle is a reference to this ask (https://canisalbus.tumblr.com/post/728923918314946560/me-i-am-machete-ear-fan-number-1-those-ears) and contains the tumblr ask stand-in dog, whose cat version was inspired by the American Curl cat! They have round ears that are slightly floppy outwards.

Final notes: I know cardinal clothes don't come in vibrant blue, but i was ADAMANT on switching Machete's and Vasco's clothing color patterns. I would draw the rest of Butter Knife's and Flamengo's clothes, but i suck at designing cool outfits.

Speaking of outfits, for Machete's iconic void outfit, i figured it would be fun to make it more baggy for Butter Knife, in contrast to Machete's, that looks very tight-fitted. I think it's cute, it kinda looks like a sweater. Also i can't imagine a Machete doppelganger without high heels boots, so those HAD to stay.

Oh, and just to be clear, i'm not like, claiming ownership of these guys or anything. I just thought it would be a fun exercise. Hope you like them!! I love your art and your characters.

If he gets jealous it would be more like "please don't leave meee" being more clingy
