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

hardcore projecting my avoidancy onto dabi in this soulmate au thing i started in november
#u know i had to do it to em#🤝🏼🧍🏽‍♀️🌳#should i just say f it and share my fic headcanons on this account#this account isn't linked to my writing stuff so . is it REALLY a spoiler if no one knoes what the hell im talking abojt#just kidding i can't share them bc what if someone connects the dots and finds out i like emotional intimacy#help i am so dramatic i have a writing blog and 2 god damn ao3 accounts#the main one is where i comment/bookmark/give kudos from#and the other one is my writing one#i do all that despite knowing no one gives a fuck#we'll see how i feel by the time i have 20 fics up#currently at 4 but the wips. the wips are crawling out from under my bed and grabbkng me by the ankle#they demand my attwntion SORRY but mommy has executive dysfunction#i was supposed to have posted 4 or 5 things by now so that i'd have time for the halloween stuff that come up next in my series 🥴#then i was gonna wrap it up with updates on the one year of which is valentine's day and white day#the other halloween thing i started last halloween could work too but i probably won't get in the mood to write it in time lmao#soulmate au was supposed to drop in june RIP#i have most of it's notes finished it's the actual writing that's kicking my ass. it feels so disorganized which is throwing me off#anyways this post is about that au but im actually working on the hero reader one#which i keep overthinking#ik a reader can have an ability and still not be an oc but hmmmm i dunno#the quirk is generic but i think bc i have actual ocs with that ability it is throwing me off lmao#i considered changing it to a water quirk but i think it'll stay cuz i like it more for the theme#also it'd make 1 scene annoyingly difficult#i guess i could just make it a rainy day huh#oh well it is staying. now to finish the prologue that i'll probably never post. gotta write it so i have a good idea of their dynamic#and feel the emotional weight? idk writer words bro i am jus fuckign around on#we chilling 😎#and by we i mean me and my headache#which i just gave myself#noice 😎

I JUST FINISHED BINGING SCOOB AND SHAG AGAIN AND I HAD A NEW THOUGHT!
There's so many potential blessing conduits, and no one else fits the Red Blessing more, in my opinion, than Five.
Think about it, Fives and Mick share on thing in common and that's complete and utter control.
Cue Card/Full Script allowing Fives to basically go all Dr. Strange and basically torment the victim with all possibilities and deaths and all that jazz.
Mick's ballyhoo of Power and turning things on and off. Being supreme voice of Toone and domineering force to be reckoned with.
I need a moment to actually gather my thoughts full, but I just connected two dots.
Tumblr media
im so excited for the renaissance of people going feral about scoob and shag in my inbox, u don't understand
ANYWAY YEAH I THINK YOU ARE ONTO SOMETHING HERE.... HMMMM

⚔️ Is there a Karai in your au?
🥷 Is there a Timothy in your au?
🏙️ What is the main setting of your au?
🏠 What is the Lair like?
☠️ Does anyone die in your au? [<- i need to know, for my sanity <3]
🗣️ Is your Leo the leader? Has he always been? [<- asking this with the knowledge that mikey is the eldest and most protective]
🩹 Who is the Medic?
🧑‍🍳 Who is the best cook?
🍍 Who likes Pineapple on pizza?
❓So in ur picrew thingy from ages ago, jenny and venus are human. do they get mutated into turtles?
❓Altho, vice versa, youve alluded that the boys might turn human sooooo hmmmm. sorry im theorising in ur ask box. im so sleepy but i feel like im connecting dots here.
⚔️: and so the oroku kids trio is complete. karai is 14 when she's finally introduced making her the youngest by far. nobody is quite sure where she came from, only that she showed up on the family's doorstep the day after saki's one true love disappeared in a flurry of snowflakes.
🥷: im afraid i dont have any plans for timothy at this point in time :/ if he were to be included in the story at all, he'd probs just be a side or background character (a classmate of april's or casey's)
🏙️: 2/3rds of wl takes place in new york, with the other third taking place across a few places in japan. not everything happens in either new york or japan, but that's the majority of it
🏠: the lair is pretty cramped, and a hodgepodge of whatever the boys can find. splinter's bedroom is so small it could be considered a closet, but the boys have plenty of room. there's also a kitchen/dining room, an open area used as the living room, donnie's lab, and the training/sparring room.
☠️: yeag </3 not revealing who though (aside from who ive already revealed. rip shen u girlbossed too close to the sun)
🗣️: leo is not and has never been the leader. there was a time where it was a possibility, but he turned it down since he didn't think he was deserving of it and was afraid that if he tried to lead his brothers he'd fail them or they'd all realise he was secretly worse than them
🩹: raph is! medicine and biology are one of the few things he ever rlly got into
🧑‍🍳: mikey, and by a wide margin. he originally learned from splinter, but quickly surpassed him in terms of skill. i've got smth in the works right now involving him cooking a bunch of stuff for donnie's thirteenth birthday!
🍍: raph and donnie... they both love sweet things and that does include on pizza. leo thinks it's a disgrace, mikey is neutral, and splinter is allergic.
❓(1): yes, they both eventually get mutated into turtles.
❓(2): lol, no need to apologise for theory crafting. i won't say too much in relation to the boys, but i will give you a little hint. nobody in waterlogged gets mutated more than once
-
ask game questions here!

omg bestie u read trc!!? tell me ur thoughts!! or not <33 i hope ure well <33
MOON HI omg i missed u how are you
YEAH yeah i finished call down the hawk like two days ago it was so ugh like UGH. im gonna have to find mi somewhere bc idk how i'll be able to wait until school starts back up. it's been like sooo hard for me to read books lately so it took me like a month to get through all of them minus blue lily which was my favorite and took a week but i still loved these shits so much.
favorite characters were like. gansey because he's gansey but also NOAH 💖💖💖💖💖 noah was soooo fucking. i love that kid so much and i'm so sad we'll never get to see what he was like before he died :(. noah also continually reminded me of @ aries so much and that's part of why i loved his character so much. he was so much like aries. ily aries.
my fave book was blue lily, lily blue. god blue lily was so good i loved every bit of it but the raven king !!! fuck shit that was some goooood horror like damn i wish there was more horror in novels like that i absolutely died at That One Scene with adam. henry was also a welcome change in pace from the chaos of the rest of the characters. i didn’t like him in bllb but he’s better now <3
let me tell you the books were naaaaawt at all what i expected because mostly i knew them as Those Gay Books that tumblr liked or maybe it was just this one blogger who liked them so anyways i was surprised at the plot. like. psychics :0 magic :00 not what i thought it would be. also the person i followed really liked gansey and adam and ronan and so when i read the summary of the raven boys i was like surprised that there was this random chick named blue. shocked, even. who was she.
they were incredible books tho i'll admit like genuinely would have me hooked if i could stand reading for longer than an hour at a time. like the plot was so well written and worldbuilding was so amazing and the characters were all so mwah mwah blorbo. it's only been like 6 months since i started book 1 (im pretty sure it was late december) i feel so nostalgic for the early days :). stupid fucking gansey with his stupid fucking notebook, ronan who had chronic “im obnoxious" disease. adam and his whole thing:(.
i find it so kind of funny sad how ronan and adam and like. and he. and. him punching adams dad like that was whew. also spent the entire book in distress that adam was sticking around so that he could ask glendower for the favor. :(((like that broke my heart ADAM YOURE STRONGER THAN THIS I SWEAR YOU CAN DO IT you are capable of great things babey:((((((.
as for book two. hmmmm. hmmmmm. im forced to admit i didn’t like the dream thieves as much. not that it was a bad book it was a great book but adam was like having a mental breakdown and so he was being mean to everyone and then ronan was taking drugs like candy under kavinsky’s supervision and that also made me sad. to quote myself “i always want more complex characters and storylines with realistic trauma and reactions until my favorite character is mean” snsjdjdnd. mr gray was like 🔫🔫🔫 i didn’t like him but then he was redeemed i suppose. he’s aight, esp with how he protected the kids in later books.
when i was reading i liveblogged in kestrel's server because @littlebluejane had read the books before me and provided excellent reactions to my reactions. was reading out of a paper book so i have like several pictures of pages of the best lines and ouch it hurts so bad. like the dynamic between blue and ronan was so good :(((asshole who cares and asshole who doesn't. the “wrong demon" line from when adam and ronan were driving around town haunts me to this day, and then blue and noah <333 they were in love but platonically.
[SPEAKING OF NOAH when i finally connected the dots in book four and got to the scene where NOAH is the one telling gansey that glendower saved him i lost my god damn mother fucking mind. like holy shit. HUHH. i will never recover. ever ever.]
i would mention shit from like cdth but i just finished it and the series isn’t done yet so we can’t find all the fun easter eggs and. mostly i’m just sort of reeling. so much happened in this book but mostly the summary on the inside was misleading because it implies hennessy and farooq-lane and ronan are all going to coincide but i don’t think farooq-lane even gets to look at the two of them. very misleading smh. parsifal was on my shitlist at first but after he died he’s off the hook ig. matthew and his whole THING killed me absolutely slaughtered me. also the implication that aurora was based off someone else. yeah. a Lot of stuff happened in this book. yeah.
ne ways this got so so long i’m sorry i had to relocate to my notes app bc i was like wait this doesn’t make any sense this is all jumbled up so then i regrouped i rearranged i rescouted and now we are here. at the end of this post. sorry moon sorry followers have fun reading all of this. read the raven cycle. four books all roughly 400 pages by maggie steifvater. good yes yes good.

Oooh thank u for the ask, these are good 👀
🤓 - How did you get your name?
Honestly all of my names are literally just "hm that sounds cool. imma use that" lmao. I saw someone somewhere calling themselves The General and i thought "yo i wanna do that too" and went with Captain. Im considering a few new names too, mostly to use irl. Im torn between Quentin bc it's cool, and a few variations of my legal name that mostly contain polish wordplays lol
🌦️ - What's your favourite weather?
Hmmmm i think i like a really mild summer. Warm but below 25C, with enough sun to wear sleeveless shirts. I am also a fan of hoodie weather tho. Rain has vibes but you can't skate through it so meh
🤠 - Are you more of a city person or a country person?
100% city lol. Born and raised in Warsaw, the capital of Poland and then moved to London, another capital - and i love them both. I adore the concrete mazes, and the wet pavements, and the dotted lines of streetlamp lights, and the ambient rumble, and the mishmash of architectures, and, and, and. The anonimity combined with the feeling of belonging in a crowd, just because you're connected with a common destination. The city darkness that is never really fully dark. I have So many feelings about it that like 90% of my writing is in some way about the city.

Okay i actually have no clue on how tumblr works (hope I'm doing this right lmao) but I'm writing my first fic (I still can't really move on from orv so I decided to make my own content lol.), I really love your writing style, do you have any tips??
Hmmmm tips tips tips tips.... First of all I’m really flattered that you like my writing enough to ask me about it! I’ll try to give my best answer... I think that I used to read a lot of people’s “writing tips” but ultimately I ended up not really understanding them until I started writing a lot? Either way it’s fun to read how other authors think... It’s really cool that you’re writing your first fic and you thought to come to me... did I already say that? Okay long post under the cut.
I don’t think this will be all that helpful, but this is just things that I think about if that’s interesting!
For me a lot of writing is like struggling with motivation (I have ADHD so that’s probs why), I really have to pace myself while writing because I can’t just force myself to do it. If I go in every day and think “I have to write today I’m not doing anything so I should be writing” I can get burnt out really easily, even if I really like the thing I’m writing and know how it’s supposed to go. So one of my big things is that when I’m not thinking about writing I’m not thinking about writing. that gives my brain a break and refreshes me when I get back to my google document.
Something I’ve also struggled with having to remember is that there’s like. Never a perfect way to write. What I end up doing is thinking up ideas and fragments and sentences in my head and the very moment I think of something I like I have to write it down in my notes app. Most of my writing process ends up being like. Filling in the blanks and connecting the dots between scene fragments. 
For fics in particular I’d also just recommend rereading your favorite parts of the og work! I’m the kind of person who has a pretty good reading memory, so people may have noticed that I include a lot of little details referencing the text in my fic. Just reading the work kind of helps you remember the voices of the character and the style of the narration, and if you just like. internalize it. you can probably replicate it pretty well if you wanted to.
OKAY I say that but don’t worry too much about replicating things in the og work perfectly. I find that a lot of times when I’m writing I’m inserting a lot of personal touches and putting things that are a part of me in the work. Writing is always going to be like. an extension of your voice, no matter what you’re writing. I think that when I heard about stuff like that from authors in the past I was always like. What? I’m not writing about things that happened to me. I’m writing about grown adult men having emotional issues, silly. But there’s like a lot more nuance to writing about yourself, I guess. Like you don’t have to have like a self insert or be projecting onto a character to have yourself reflected in something you’ve written.
I’d say that like, whatever you write as your first fic is going to be lovely, but when you grow up as a writer and look back on it, you’re not going to remember who you were when you wrote it. I think that’s why a lot of people look back on their first works and are like “I can’t believe I wrote that, what was I thinking, cringe cringe cringe ugh.” Like I definitely do that sometimes, but I’ve found that the old work I’m happiest with nowadays is the stuff where I can recognize myself in it, even if I’m not in that fandom anymore or if there’s old jokes or typos I don’t remember making. 
With that being said, I’m the kind of person who always gives myself a mission statement when I’m writing. I sort of mentally go, okay, I’m writing this kind of thing, and this is why I’m writing it. It can be something like oh I’m writing this fluff piece because I love this character and wish they had a happier ending, or  oh I want to write this multi chapter fic exploring an issue touched on in the original work but I feel like with my own experiences I could expand on it more than the author did. Just something that tells me why it is important to me to write this thing when I’m writing it.
AAAH I feel like I made that sound more dramatic than it really is, that’s just how I think I guess. I’m the kind of guy where its like things need to have like MEANING to me when I do them. I’m dramatic and gay and that’s my personality I guess 😔.
Hmmm maybe it’s also my BIGGEST writing tip tho. Like kind of just thinking things through when you’re writing is pretty important. When I was first learning to write at all (talking about baby baby me here this is like sort of a side tangent sorry) I think that a lot of times I would copy phrases and developments that I had liked in things that I had read without really fully considering why I would include those things other than the fact that that was just what I thought writing was. It’s important to consider what importance every scene and sentence has to do with the flow of the story. Are they just things that are happening, or is there a reason that the audience needs to know these things? The weight of your words should have some sort of consequence as a result of you writing them. Are you telling the audience information they need to know? Is it about how the character feels? What does this say about the character? Etc.
I suppose that’s sort of my own writing style. You’ll probably notice that I don’t write a lot of descriptive prose if you read my fic. The thing about me is that I never want to write something that makes my audience question why they’re reading it, I guess. I’m sort of self conscious and think about the reading experience a lot. All of the things I choose to describe are usually so that the reader can understand where people are in the scene and what emotions they are having. There’s a lot of emphasis that I put in like. A reader’s ability to read into things, which works against me sometimes because I’m not always certain if people picked up on different things that I put a lot of thought into (the curse of being seen... sob).
ALSO use paragraph breaks. In my first fic (that I’m not going to tell anyone what is even though its on ao3 because im shy) the thing I always regret the MOST is that there are big chunky paragraphs that are hard to read through at the start. Like my eyes get lost. I mentioned I have ADHD before but even though I like. physically can’t read a big chunky paragraph I will always write them that way if left to my own devices. Paragraph breaks don’t have to just be broken up by dialogue they can be wherever you feel like doing them. You need a lot of them. This post should probably have more of them... oh my god it’s so long...
OKAY FOR REAL THOUGH IF YOU COULDN”T SLOG THROUGHT THE REST OF THAT THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP IS RIGHT HERE: 
JUST LET YOURSELF WRITE
I have a lot of like. academic trauma, so maybe this is just me, but the reason I didn’t write fic until I was like 16 was because I was always really scared that whatever I wrote wouldn’t be good enough for some impossible standard I was setting for myself. I was always telling myself that I had certain bad writing habits or that I was terrible for never being able to focus on things for very long and all of my projects were doomed to failure before I even started. But then I wrote my first like 8 chapter fic in the summer of my junior year and I was like... oh. that wasn’t so bad. Like. It’s okay to know your limits, but you don’t really know them until you start writing. Like I wrote an 8 chapter fic, and then a few one shots, and then I tried to take on a very complicated project that ended up being over 40 chapters and I had to put it down because I just wasn’t really at the writing level to finish it. I would advise against writing fics that take so long to write that you start hating the way you wrote the first chapter, basically lol. Know how whatever you’re writing is supposed to begin and end before you start writing it.
Nowadays I always have like. plot outlines in my head when I start a fic. Like okay this needs to happen here this needs to happen here etc. I like making lists if it seems to overwhelming when I’m writing something long, just to organize my thoughts. 
OKAY I JUST TALKED A LOT. SORRY IF YOU DIDN’T WANT TO READ ALL OF THIS BUT I’M A LITTLE CHATTY IF YOU DIDN’T NOTICE.
Defo feel free to dm me if you have like questions or just want to chat about orv or whatever. I’m a lonely little man out here floating on my pile of words, and I’d love to hear what your fic is about!!

im about to go on a ranty rant that i doubt anyones gonna see cuz its 11:30 at night but like... this shit has been bothering me for a while so here we go. and this is is specifically about billy/stranger things but feel free to apply it to whatever
theres this one post i see on tumblr sometimes thats like “normalize tv writers saying its ok to headcanon their characters as gay but them not wanting/intending to make them gay” or whatever and like.... i get that, to an extent
but at the same time why is it considered so “bad” for people to see a character as gay because of DELIBERATE FUCKING CHOICES MADE IN CANON and be like “so uhhhh we gonna do something about this?” and then being mad when the writers are like “lol no :)”
like why does a character NEED to be straight? why is it so out of the realm of possibility to even entertain the possibility of making that character gay? im confused
like yall will sit there and have a character say some wild ass shit YOU wrote, put them in questionable scenarios YOU wrote, or the actors will just mesh well and have a vibe that SEVERAL people had to watch and okay to be put into the final episode.... and when the audience views it and starts connecting dots and is like “hmmmm” yall wanna be like “no thats not what you were supposed to get from that” like ??? ok but thats what we got anyway ??? yall coulda stopped that at any moment
my main point is im tired of it being made to look like the fans are the crazy ones for asking for some gay rep when these writers sit here and will make a character aggressively heterosexual with the most bullshit storylines (im also looking at you r*verdale and flice dont think yall getting outta this one youre not) because this certain character just HAS to be straight because ???? who knows. and yall always wanna talk about how you dont need a reason to make a character gay.... so where is that energy ???
AND THEN!!! the audacity of when a fandom goes “we see x character as gay” and the writers go “no. but heres a new gay character we’re gonna also do nothing with does this satisfy you?” and it surely does not! it surely does not
like obviously im not saying go harass writers over this shit thats always dumb but just in general.... stop acting like fans are out of pocket for being mad when characters have heavy fucking subtext that never gets addressed because it ~wasnt the writers intention~ like bitch you wrote it anyway. deal with it.

ok ok ok so I was rereading EML and Im kinda connecting some dots here. Before the reader mentioned a deal for going to Konaha with team7 how if she was forced to use her powers she’d leave. And then the whole sketchy scene about the people trying to bind her to the village. 👀👀👀👀 ur bouta take a wrecking ball to Kakashi and Readers relationship hmmmm. (i love ur story btw 🥺)
Hahahaha that would be funny if that actually happened...
How dare you call me out like this! How dare you know the wrecking ball is coming! ;)
But yeah, you connecting the dots really hit the nail on the head! The angst will ramp up after all the fluff and relationship-building, and also EML will soon end on top of that.
But yeah, right now I’m a bit floored you basically called the little twist in the next chapter... I hope you will still like it, despite already “knowing” what’s coming ;)
