i was just completely blown away by your post about agnes and what you said, it really really really resonated with me. i relate to everything you said and i remember reading in a post a while back that he was in the hospital and you felt conflicted about seeing him. i understand that. i also have a complicated relationship with my dad and i just love him so much but i could also be so upset with him because of the things he's done to me and my sister and my mom. oo i can't type too much!! -🧁
oh wow cupcake, thank you so much for this!!! i really appreciate hearing your thoughts, and it’s once again super comforting to hear that there’s someone else who can relate to it as well <33
tw: mentions of drugs + abuse
family in and of itself as a concept can be and often is so incredibly complex, especially when there’s something like drugs and/or abuse thrown into the mix. a lot of people (esp people online, i find) like to act as if these relationships are black and white, as if these feelings and these experiences can be easily and neatly sorted into defined categories when the fact of the matter is, they aren’t, and they can’t. obviously, abuse is bad—this is an objective fact we can all agree on. but when that abuse comes from a family member, a parent, someone who was supposed to be there for you and raise you and love you, it really muddies things.
i love my father, but i do not like him. i am hoping i can find it in me to forgive him for what he’s done to us before he dies, but i’m not sure it’ll happen. i still hold so much anger and bitterness and just generally negative feelings towards him, and in my twenty-something years on this earth i have only JUST begun to work through this shit. and he doesn’t have much time left.
#i could go on about that for a very long time#but it’s a concept i like to explore within my work a lot#partially because it’s fascinating and partially because it’s a way to work through; process; and unpack my own trauma and experiences#same with drug addiction#i have this morbid fascination with addiction and i’m 100% sure it’s because i was raised by it#because i was STEEPED in it my entire fucking life#even now we still aren’t free of it#the things addiction can do to a person are fucking horrific#but yeah! it’s really comforting to know that there are others that can understand and relate tbh#especially since i grew up in a cookie-cutter town and not a single one of my friends had to deal with what i had to deal with#but anyway!!! i will not ramble anymore#it definitely does bother me to see people act as if this kind of shit is so easy to navigate though#once again; if you have never experienced it you cannot possibly imagine what it fucking feels like#and the repercussions of it#i’m so sorry you had to go through something similar sweetpea#whatever it was that happened to you and your sibling and your mom; you didn’t deserve a single bit of it#i am sending you so so so much love <333#keep safe and enjoy your weekend bb <3#🧁.anon#clari gets mail

to my IRL(s) who keeps sending me disco elysium memes despite the fact i haven't played it in months THIS IS BECAUSE OF YOU. HELP ME. If people have ideas on this AU feel free to have fun with it considering I. have only a few!
#zombiecleo#ethoslab#hermitcraft#scopophobia cw#hermitcraft AU#tag ramble time!#don't. worry about the text. yes it's trying to imply that etho can see us and break the fourth wall Don't Worry About It#this AU really was 'i wanna draw hermits in DE outfits who's pathetic and sad enough to b– yeah it's etho.'#'that makes cleo Kim then. I think they'd make it work' and that was it#in my heart it's also an AT so they're working a different case somewhere else in universe. mostly because i don't think them and-#-cuno/cunoesse should exist at the same time.. etho can have a drug addiction but cleo is NOT getting called a faggot /lh#Cleo getting written as 'just cleo' in text is kinda silly i enjoy it. hopefully that wasn't used in the actual game and i forgot about it#art out the oven#art wise this was really fun i locked myself in values jail but the colours turned out reasonable anyway which is always nice#yes cleo has gauges and an undercut <3#[scheduled]#EDIT: oh god. i have to add a tag for this AU#Disco Hermits AU

supernatural does this really fascinating/strange thing where they write a metaphor for something, but then also directly show the something at the same time. so you have john winchester raising his kids to be hunters (metaphor for abusive childhood) but also, aside from that, being flat out abusive. you have sam winchester repeatedly being possessed by things without his consent (metaphor for sexual assault) but also, aside from that, being sexually assaulted. you have dean winchester becoming more and more violent as result of a mark that makes him addicted to something (sort-of a metaphor for alcoholism? they’re clumsy about this one) but also, aside from that, being an alcoholic. it’s such a Choice. i don’t have anything else to say it’s just something i’ve noticed
#maybe it’s like. they just really want to make their metaphor text somehow. idk#idk man#spn#oliver talks#supernatural#they didn’t rly do this in early seasons quite so much. you didn’t have sam drinking blood and also being a drug addict at the same time😭

Yknow sometimes I wonder about what would have happened if wilson was the medical proxy during house's infarction. Because I can't imagine a single reality where wilson would let house die for the sake of his leg(it was said multiple times that he would have died without the surgery). So will he also choose the middle ground? Or will he go straight for amputation? How would that affect their friendship from then on? Would he be as mad at wilson as he was at stacy? Because I feel like one of the reasons why wilson doesn't get any blame from house is because he had no involvement in the decision. I would genuinely love to see an AU where this played out
#and before anyone says that wilson wil respect house's decision#this is the same man who drugged house and took him to his abusive dad's funeral#who nearly made a deal with TRITTER to put an end to house's addiction#who hid a patients recovery from him so that his “wings wouldnt melt”#he would 100% choose house's life over house's decision#house md#greg house#james wilson#hilson#text*

We are not collectively talking enough about Eric's line delivery in the teaser of "That's him, Jesus Christ, look at him."
#everyone being like 'they'll hate each other'#are you kidding me#you think DANIEL MOLLOY#won't become obseesed with him?#the same daniel molloy who asked louis de pointe du lac if he was the zodiac killer then stuck around to try and fuck him#the same daniel molloy who provoked armand as a mysterious house staffer then provoked him MORE to the point that he ended his marriage#AFTER finding out he was 500 year old apex predator#he' was an addict in the 70s who did press post-turning in an acdc shirt if you think he's not going to be immediately obsessed with lestat#idk what to tell you#also you KNOW if armand hadn;t turned him lestat would've#because daniel's attention is a drug to all three of these nightmares#and lowkey i think daniel and lestat would get along even become friends in the most obnoxious way imaginable#because tragically they want their personalities to be opposite circles but really they are a venn diagram#amc interview with the vampire

I really wish people would stop being obtuse with their readings about things. Is it really demonizing The Thing or is it deliberately using a social perception and common tropes to frame the character in a certain light so it can deliberately subvert those things at the precise moment when it is necessary to prove that point that people are Not Like That?
#obviously not a catch all because there are definitely pieces of media that are guilty of demonizing things#but sometimes the crit I see on here and even out in the real world is just extremely shallow and it baffles me#like for example back in my drugs and addiction in film and lit class one of the guest speakers we had was like ‘I’ve never seen a good#addict in a heroic role in media and we will never see that’ and… I was sitting there like… midnight mass was only a year old#to this day I will assert that riley flynn is one of the best heroic depictions of addict ever and I will not change my mind on that#many such cases in the mike flannagan universe including danny torrance in doctor sleep as well (which mike has said was part of his own#recovery process). not to mention I would also posit crozier as the same to an extent just by the symbolism of his alcoholism as a mechanism#of empire used to supress and opress him. and I think about those and then I see so many characters everywhere that fall into the same#category. and it really baffles me how people can just. fucking miss all of that#anyways yes this is also about the previous post like girl what the fuck#I need people to learn what actual media literacy is and then also. read more media. read different media. become well-read and well-viewed#or perish by my hand

im feeling it tonight so this one goes out to all my girlies (gender neutral) with addictions. recovering from addictions. who don't want to recover from addictions. who are relapsing or have relapsed. who have moved from one addiction to the next. who cant recover from addictions. this one is for people with addictions other than drugs. shopping. sex. internet. food. self harm. all the weirdest and worst addictions that people may or may not consider normal. for all of you also trying to live in a world where addictions are so demonized, i see you. i love you.
#tw addiction#tw sh related#tw relaspe#mental health#addiction#s/h#cant tell anyone im addicted to cvtting without some asshole reaction srsly#i cant help it. i kinda dont want to help it. but its the truth and you need to accept that even if youre not happy about it#im notna drug addict but even so its the same story with overdosing#“stop it” and ??? how ??? why ??? when?? it feels good so why should i stop??#at least give me a valid reason damn it#and every time since the first the guy who just tells me to stoo gets this weird pitiful expression and i hate it#use your energy on someone who can help and/or who is more likely to benefit from these things#use your energy on someone who wants ti quit not stay bad/get worse#i get that youre worried but i am not the person who is going to value your worry over my own overwhelming urges

Does anybody else feel like mental health awareness has done very little to help them in material reality
#i was gonna say done nothing to help but that seemed too harsh#like there definitely is more knowledge about it now. maybe more people feel comfortable speaking about it which is good#but personally i don't feel that. like idk. workplaces will post about mental health awareness and then do nothing to help employees#the same w universities. my uni cut back the already meager mental health support#and then the government is doing absolutely fuck all as well#like idk im just back in a place i thought id gotten out of long ago and i still don't feel comfortable talking about it with people#maybe that's a me problem or maybe it's cultural or something idk. but in the 10 years ive been depressed (🫠) i don't think it's gotten a#whole lot better. teenagers are still dealing with the same shit i did and they're still not being taken seriously#women's mental health is not even spoken about.....anxiety depression sh eds etc are still ignored or seen as hysterical behaviour in women#or just normal esp with disordered eating. society hasn't changed people still want women to be stick thin and weak#like i know 10 years is a short time and there has been massive improvements in mh awareness if we look back over the past 50+ years#but idk i just think that it hasn't gotten better for a lot of people#i think specifically of belfast and like god. the amount of trauma there is the amount of homelessness the amount of substance abuse#drug abuse in particular that has gotten visibly worse over the past decade or so*#and i connect the dots n see the 2008 recession + a tory gov defunding the nhs + dehumanisation of homeless people & addicts + the troubles#+ ptsd + generational trauma + a negative peace + classism + paramilitary drug dealers + parties linked to those paramilitaries#and its like hmmmm i think we live in a society. and a mental health approach based on individual actions like journaling and meditation#isn't the way to go. or at least is not the be all and end all which is what a lot of mental health awareness raising seems to promote#*visibly worse on the streets. it was always a problem ofc but even a decade ago my parents never imagined it would be as bad as it is now#and it's become so normalised. i do think there's less individualism here than there seems to be elsewhere which can be good and can be bad#but i think we are becoming more and more individualistic. slowly. there's still a sense of community here but i do think it's changing#and callousness towards homeless people is one of the most obvious examples of this.#love when i put a wee asterisk in the tags of a post. like i have A Lot To Say lol

okay markus views carl as his dad and leo is carls son so how would that not qualify? theyre brothers
lol
lmao even
Yes, Markus views Carl as his father, but at no point is any indication given that he views Leo as a brother.
This may come as a shock to you, but a person can very much view someone as their adoptive father, while also not acknowledging his drug-addict son who nearly got them killed then dumped in a junkyard as their brother.
#Detroit: Become Human#Markus RK200#Carl Manfred#Leo Manfred#if you personally wanna view Markus and Leo as brothers then go ahead#which is why I included the ship#but to claim there's any canonical evidence at all that Markus himself views Leo as a brother (or vice versa) is blatantly false#Leo views Markus as Carl's shiny toy used to replace him#(and then maybe just as a revolution leader after we never really learn how he feels about Markus after the revolution)#and Markus views Leo as a drug addict who nearly got him killed and makes Carl's life a living hell#(whether or not his respect for Leo grows after he sees that ''voice mail'' is never indicated and it certainly doesn't in the Graveyard)#that is all we know about their relationship canonically#also they're not even the same species so the crucial part about what makes incest incest (blood relation) is not present

i would like to know more about liams current situation on drugs because it does seem likely that hes probably stopped doing coke and the like. but unlike noel hes never really associated his drug use with Addiction and hes never really said formally "i stopped doing xyz". and im nosy and i want to know everything. he claims he doesnt smoke weed or do psychedelics anymore. and given the fact that he really doesn't do "nights out" anymore its unlikely that hes doing harder drugs in any real way. but if he went out and coke was there would he do it? i want to know.
#i just think it makes sense between their two personalities that noel does actively place his past drug use as addiction but liam doesn't#even though he was almost certainly doing coke in the same quantity/frequency as noel#*

"There are successful immigrants, why can't Black and Native Americans be like them? Get over it and stop being alcoholic criminals!"
Maybe because new immigrants didn't have to go through the generational trauma of having their entire communities sytematically humiliated for hundreds of years in the US.
Not to say that immigrants do not also face racism, but that it's different when you come from a people who's spirit and culture have been broken. As recent as the 1970s, there were boarding schools that Native children were forced into and beaten if they spoke their own language... these kids grew up to be elders who are still alive today. I'm not condoning drinking or anything, I'm just saying maybe, maybe if a person didn't have to go through abusive situations they wouldn't feel the need to cope in unhealthy ways.
#My mother coming into the country already having a degree from back home is not the same#As a kid who grew up the ghetto with parents who are drug addicts#Hawaiians are disproportionately more likely to be homeless in their own homeland than white settlers#Think about why#America#USA#Generational trauma#Alcoholism#Indigenous
