#silent suffering is still suffering

[ethicalconsumehr]

Hey guys, Let’s stop calling people “fakers” when their mental illness isn’t ‘obvious’!

You will never know what it feels like to constantly fake happiness and stability everyday of your life and quietly suffer so well that everyone feels they have the right to tell you that you couldn’t possibly be going through anything.

If you don’t complain, you deserve support.

If you don’t vent, you deserve support.

If you go in and out of hospitals alone, you deserve support.

If your friends and family don’t know, you deserve support.

If you constantly support others while not receiving any yourself, guess what? You deserve support.

And if you have the audacity to tell people they don’t have depression or anxiety because they don’t “act like it”, you’re wrong and you’re probably one of the reasons they don’t tell people.

To all the boys who keep their hurt to themselves because their friends are patronizing and would never understand because the things they say are like knives to a heart. The boys who are lowkey bullied by their friends because it’s “normal” and just “jokes” that friends have. The boys who are not comfortable with being thought of as weak or over emotional because they have the audacity to feel their feelings. The boys who are the only man their mama has, the only man their siblings have. Just know, I love you and someone out there understands what you’re going through and how much it hurts.

To all the children of immigrant folk who keep their pain to themselves because they feel like they don’t deserve to complain because of what their families have been through, just know I love you and someone out there understands what you’re going through and how much it hurts.

To all the oldest siblings who keep their hurt to themselves and act as a safe space for their siblings and a protection for their loved ones, who never asked anyone else to be that for them. Just know I love you and someone out there understands what you’re going through and how much it hurts.

To all the parental figure friends (mom friend/dad friend) and therapist friends and floater friends in friend groups who have always been the facilitator of peace and stability for everyone else and have always done their best at making everyone else feel comfortable, and heard, and loved, and safe and included, who themselves have almost never felt comfortable, safe, heard, loved, and included. Just know I love you and someone out there understands what you’re going through and how much it hurts.

To the smart kids in class who are always participating and carrying conversations and helping others by being a second teacher, who everyone believes has a perfect home life and has it all under control and feeling good helping the people that need it even though they need it just as much, just know that I love you and someone out there understands what you’re going through and how much it hurts.

To all the kids whose grades are silently slipping, who have started skipping, who have adopted bad habits or abandoned the things they used to love, unbeknownst to their peers and loved ones, who believe that this is just a confirmation that nothing they do will ever be worth anyone’s time or attention. Just know that I love you and someone out there understands what you’re going through and how much it hurts.

To all the parents out there who are suffering alone, maybe because they are distant from their family, distant from their spouse, and can’t rely on their children because they are children, who are fighting everyday to keep themselves afloat so they can keep their kids afloat. Who feel guilty for wanting to run away, hide, cry in your mamas arms. You are selfless, you are brave, you are a hero, you deserve love and support. Just know that I love you and someone out there understands what you’re going through and how much it hurts.

To anyone anywhere who has gone through anything painful, you are loved, someone out there understands you and how much it hurts.

Be mindful what you say to people.

In the aftermath of Peri's tantrum, the Leisure Court Fairies discovered that nearly every Pixie within close proximity of Poof were completely drained of magic.

Fairies are presumed incapable of stealing magic-- not unless they are a bonded pair, where magic is shared. Therefore, the underlying reasons remain uncertain to this day. Cosmo had been the only Fairy to remain conscious during the blast, but researchers were unable to extract much information from him.

Thankfully, all Pixies, including Timmy, made a full recovery- with all their magic intact.

don't put a man with sad eyes and this haircut in front of me..

Wow, the SH2 Remake secret polaroid puzzle has been solved and what it says has me thinking about what if it's not about the GAME but about James and the timeloop theory. Stuck suffering this, over and over again, never able to get the 'good ending' or help anyone else because he's too trapped in his grief and own mental anguish, and...yeah. :(

[tapeworrmart]

So I have consumed that whole SH2 remake James' mental illness and SA theory document and I gotta say.... It fits. I can really see it. My eyes are open. I wouldn't put it past a game like that to make suggestions in that direction.

Also printing the Silent Hill 2 novel off to read as we speak. I'm normal about that guy and his trauma I swear

Hypothetically speaking, what would happen if Sonic and Tails were separated for a long period of time in the Villain AU?

would just like to start this by saying that current day villain au brothers are different than the 13 and 6 yo villain brothers. tails does grow to become a little more jaded towards sonic and starts to snap back at him (so basically they get worse before they get better)

anyway they’re still dependent on each other, they do have seperation anxiety and would blow up the world if apart for too long

aka both of them would spiral because they don’t know what to do without the other

[despair-tea]

one thing I dislike is the sophomoric idea that society should, naturally, move towards a completely genderless model. I get where it's coming from, but it assumes an impossible level of homogeneity rather than accepting that - in the infinity of genders that DO and WILL exist - there are some which will take familiar forms and patterns and names.

Like, look, I don't live in the androgynous future ze're imaging. But if I did I would still feel alienated and out-of-place in a slightly different way from the way I felt growing up under gendered capitalism. Because I'm not genderless, and I know damn well that I'd still feel some calling to change... something about myself. Even without words like "woman" or "witch."

It's a nice dream. it might be comforting to some. But it seems like an airy fantasy to me, and not one I can see myself living in.

Obviously I agree that the barriers between genders need to be broken down. Obviously I don't think the traditional gender roles as our society sells them to us are working. But the future I see has more kinds of people and not less.

so.. *tucks hair* there's this beast living inside me who may be myself

Both lesson 12 and lesson 19 in NB are actually great reminders that OG timeline Lucifer would absolutely pretend like nothing happened after MC's disappearance and that he is in fact completely unaffected by it all, maybe even distancing and isolating himself entirely from everyone else if he can't keep up the act, meanwhile behind closed doors he is completely falling apart because his pride just won't. let. him. be. vulnerable.

So I know you HC that Binah won't let you anywhere near the Well (yes I've read the whole blog basically in one sitting because... I need more Binah in my system.) But consider this

She avoids you assisting her with extractions as much as she can. Maybe she sends you off with "urgent" reports to other sefirot (the higher the floor, the better), whenever she has to draw from the Well. But she can't keep this up forever. You DO want to be at her side when she has to go through THIS nightmarish task. Anyhow you do end up assisting her. How does that make her feel? Maybe your presence anchors her to reality and keeps her sane more than she'd care to admit? Maybe she instinctively covers your eyes at some point without even realizing it?

we all need more Binah in our systems

when the day finally comes that you're by her side, the only thing Binah feels is fear. it's not something she usually experiences, as even degraded Arbiters are stronger than anyone needs to be, but she knows the sharp pain in her chest is fear, cold and unyielding. you're so fragile- even the best weapons and gear she gives you won't be able to defend you from the Well- but you're also so stubborn, insisting that you accompany her

"No one should have to do this alone". that's what you told her, and what you stand by. so reluctantly she brings you to the Well, watching its waters illuminate your features in an emerald glow and telling you to stay close

the task hurts as always, eating away at her thoughts and tearing bits of her identity away. but this time, you're there, standing beside her and holding her hand; every time you squeeze her fingers, the pain relents just slightly, and Binah feels like she can breathe again. when you take a step closer to her for comfort she carefully pulls you into her arms, tucking her cloak around your shoulders- you can stay in there for the entire time, if you'd like. she doesn't mind. you make sure to give her a soft hug when you feel her stiffen, the only indication that she's in distress, and after a moment her muscles unclench and her hand comes down to caress your own, wrapped around her waist

finally everything ends once more, a sigh of relief slipping from your lips as you leave the room. your head feels blurred and heavy until a hand rests on top of it, a glint of emotion in Binah's eyes as she quietly thanks you for what you've done today, and before she leaves she gives your hand a small, tender squeeze

you don't notice the single tear that drips from her eye when she turns away

My Heaven

sh1 locations usually don't get much recognition so i feel like adding some explanatory notes on it (just in case)

the place is the secret chamber in Green Lion Antiques where distracted from prayer alessa is having a tender moment gazing at the point where God's painting is supposed to be

(GOD- IM TRULY BEWITCHED BY THIS GAME THE WAY IT NEVER THROWS STRAIGHT FACTS IN UR FACE AND WISELY KEEPS ATMOSPHERE OF UNDERSTATEMENT TILL THE VERY END SO FKING CHARMING–)

whatever ceremonial stuff it is, it had started to burn before one of harry's passing out

and due to perspective in my drawing alessa stands directly on it ..

i'd like to sum up the post w little art comparison bc i also pursued the goal to redraw one of my old drawings

the first one is pretty rough for sure still luv both of them tho

[loudmound]

never let me think too hard abt a minor character only seldom mentioned bcs i'm undoubtedly going to do some crazy shit to them.

[pikachu-says-peekaboo]

This is so funny (and when I say funny I mean disgusting), because I'm the person he's referring to (hi!)

Falling out makes it sound trivial, but what he's not saying is that he chose to end our friendship because he didn't like that I was posting about Palestine and the genocide of the Palestinian people. Specifically, he found the use of the word genocide "disagreeable" (his word, not mine).

Now normally I wouldn't give a shit because hey, people say dumb things all the time and it has no impact. Except in this case it does, since he's from Israel and this reflects the views about what's happening in his country (but you won't see him posting about it on his massively popular blog).

Whilst there are children dying everyday, innocent people being killed and whole cultures being exterminated, he decides he's offended by my choice of words, which by the way the UN also uses .

We know that the government of Israel has repeatedly lied about the crimes it is committing on the Palestinian people. We know that they continue to defend their tactics as necessary against the "terrorists", lies which a lot of its citizens are happy to parrot despite the evidence proving otherwise. We also know that many Israelis and Jewish people, both from the country and around the world, are seeing through these lies and calling them out. We know that many young Israeli people are choosing to spend their days in prison rather than support the IDF and participate in the massacre of the people in Gaza. So I think it means something when someone as prominent as Charles chooses to say nothing, especially since he's been vocal about his criticisms of Netanyahu in the past, so not sure why he's choosing this hill to die on.

[a-little-unsteddie]
