StimBoard for FizzaRolli💚

I tried to collect both my hcs and some kind of symbolism and just make it at least a little bit beauty

I hope I managed to do this, and below I will write explanations for each of the gifs

1. beetlejuice

2. a reference to the crystal of Asmodeus, on the mirror that Fizz looked at in the episode, that he loves cosmetics and grimm, and also read the inscription on the lid

3. reference to music (and Oz again)

4. fastfood yey

5. look, the clown

6. my hc that he knits

7. hc that he is actually quite smart and often reads books (or at least did it VERY often as a child)

8. frogs and the love to silly things

9. a birthday reference, my hc that Fizz do scrabbooking and there's also a doggie balloon

maybe I'll make more stimboards because you can't describe them with a couple of pictures!💚

Memempu

Age: 9

Home: Pinyin colony (Sakugan)

Likes: Markers, robots, discovery, Dad Gagumber

Dislikes: Being stuck in one place, cacti, Gagumber

Fun fact: Memempu is the only kid in this poll whose source material doesn't have a TV Tropes page. Given that obscurity, I should probably explain that Markers are explorers who use giant robots. Or something like that; I don't remember that sort of detail.

What I do remember is the relationship between Memempu and Gagumber. The two of them love each other, but they also can't stand each other; in part because Memempu thinks that somehow earning seven doctorates means she's ready to become a Marker and Gagumber knows how dangerous that would be, and in part because Gagumber has a bunch of flaws that annoy Memempu and make her reluctant to listen to Gagumber when he actually has a point. It's a fun dynamic, and not common with this kind of father/daughter narrative.

But this post isn't about Sakugan, it's about Memempu. Memempu is a mechanical prodigy (again, seven doctorates at age 9) with incredible spatial awareness and reasoning abilities; this fuels her confidence to "I can look for that tower in my dreams by myself!" levels. She's also incredibly curious, even for a kid, which is part of why her overconfidence is driving her into the uninhabited kaiju-filled caverns and not some engineering project safe within a colony. Ah, wait, did I not mention the giant monsters? Yeah, that's part of why Gagumnber doesn't want his daughter exploring alone. Or ideally at all, but he gives up on that battle before the end of episode 1.

Anyways, yeah. Memempu is clever, confident, curious, and just fun to be around. Especially when hanging around her dad.

What does Tumblr have to say about Memempu?

They’ve got a good grasp of painting for being however old Sina is supposed to be an Memempu being nine Especially when these are the limit of colors they’re working with.No way I could pull it off.

[macaw-squawks]

Hi Macaw, I wanted to thank you again for all the requests you done for me, I can't describe how much I love every single one. I love the effort you put into them and everything's so pretty, it's even inspired me to try to make my own moodboards for myself at times! /gen, vpos

I also really love each Monster High moodboard you've done so far, I love requesting the monsters I most probably knew in the past. I admit I usually request the stimboards after I can remember more things about them :3.

- 💕🦇

I'm a bit too tired to draft up a good response, but !!!!! /vpos!

I'm so glad you like the boards anon! It's super fun making them ngl, even with my limited knowledge of monster high (probably only watched like. 4 episodes max lmao)

Explanations for each gif and why I picked it (mostly because this was a request for my personal taste) :

1st and 3rd gif: I love Robin Williams SO much, especially when he does funny voices, like it makes my ears wiggle and I get a tickley feeling that I feel the need to shake off. In Mork and Mindy (the show these gifs are from) Robin Williams does a lot of voices. Also Mork wears the most epic rainbow suspenders and I want a pair, honestly I just wanna dress like Mork.

2nd gif: I’ve actually had guinea pigs and everything from the noises they make (which I make too when I get really excited) to how fluffy they are, makes me really happy and giggly. Honestly all rodents do, I also love that they cuddle.

4th gif: I love all music platforms!! I have a record player and records, a cassette player and cassettes, a CD player and CDs, I even have an old wind up record player and proper 1940’s 45’s to go with it (Some of them I inherited and some of them I bought like super duper cheap at a second hand store). I also just love watching the tapes spin while listening to music.

5th gif: LAVA LAMP!! I love watching the stuff float inside of it and the colours they typically come in. And (small confession time) I’m still scared of the dark, but legitimate lights keep me up, lava lamps are kinda dim and ambient while still lighting up a portion of the room.

6th gif: I can’t really do card tricks and stuff myself, but I absolutely lose my shit when other people do them. I have a friend who’s really good at them, and I’ll just sit and watch him practice until he’s tired of it.

7th gif: line art like that makes me so supremely happy, it’s not even funny. But also this came off of a Bruce Springsteen stimboard and I LOVE BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN!!!! Like there are a couple of choice Bruce Springsteen songs that I will play on loop for days.

8th gif: It’s the Dick Van Dyke Show!!!! I love this show soooo much. I actually really love to watch it while I knit! Also the smooshy face Dick is making in this little gif is just to die for!!! That whole show really makes me super duper happy and stimmy, like sometimes I’ll just have put my knitting down to have a little freakout. But there’s this one episode in particular that has Richard Dawson in it (who I also love so much), who was in Hogan’s Heroes as Corporal Peter Newkirk (Newkirk is my favourite on that show, partially because he’s British(then again so is Dawson), but also because he’s super sarcastic. Also he wears the best shade of blue! And blue is my favourite colour, I was very excited when my dad told me that, that particular shade of blue is actually called Royal Airforce Blue! (Which is now my favourite specific shade of blue)). Also the episode that Richard Dawson is in is S2 E27, Racy Tracy Rattigan.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk these explanations could have SO much longer

I will probably end up doing individual stimboards based on each of these points now!

hi friends sorry this is going to be a slightly negative post 😞 if you don’t want to read it, don’t worry it’s okay and i understand. tw mental illness talk.

i am suddenly coming off a light manic episode and going into a depressive mode. i feel so misunderstood irl right now, and there’s absolutely nothing i can do to stop it. i am pouring too much energy into some people in my life whom i love very dearly. we have a complicated past but since i truly began my mental health recovery journey in february, it seems our relationships have only declined.

i suppose of all things in my life, not knowing the true intentions or feelings of others is one of my deepest insecurities. i crave the ability to know exactly what to do in given situations but almost always i fail miserably. i am working on my own issues and cannot afford to voluntarily embroil myself in a consistently negative atmosphere.

i love these people because they have been with me through thick and thin. we have shared precious memories together and know each other so well. and it sickens me to think our relationships could be over in the coming months. the fear sits in my gut like a weight i can’t ignore. i admit i cannot help but feel everything is my fault.

i guess i just needed to let you all know, i think of you often. my mutuals (you know who you are) are near and dear to my heart. i know your url’s and every time you reblog or like my posts, i send you a little hug. i just wanted you to know that.

you are a constant source of loving energy and you all give me reason to keep making things i love and am proud of. i have struggled my whole life with maintaining fond feelings for things i create. i am an author and despite the feats i bested at young ages, i still cannot fathom to be truly proud of my earliest works. i am seldom happy with what i create. but creating stimboards for you all is what enlivened a part of my creative soul i had stowed away. i am proud of my stimboards. i love fulfilling requests and making others happy. i just love you. thank you if you read this far.

i’m very sorry to everyone that is still waiting on requests. all active requests are actually done, i just haven’t sourced all of them. they will be posted as soon as possible.

Rules

I do aesthetics, moodboards, stimboards, playlists (via youtube), promos, whatever. If you want something I haven't listed, feel free to ask anyway.

Aesthetic topics are usually characters, color palettes, aus, relationships (romantic or otherwise but specify if you want it romantic), episodes or scenes, canons for u kinnies, etc, but I'll do whatever, generally.

More detail is better

If you want a trigger tagged, send an ask about it, and I will. I'll also tag common ones as a standard

I'll do aesthetics for really dark shit if asked, I just try not to glorify it

Don't shit on other people for their requests/characters they like (even morally shit ones)/requesting often etc, even if I don't want to fill a request myself

I try not to post anything visually graphic enough to get my account censored but suggestive stuff is fine

I get a fair amount of images off of google, and they aren't all credited. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to complete many requests if I sourced them all. If you personally want all fair use marked images or all images from the show, request that and I'll do it.

Feel free to ask or request anything, the worst I'll do is not answer or say no to filling a request

Just basic rules ig: don't be racist, lgbtphobic, a dick to actors or each other, etc. Basic stuff.

If I know another source I'll do crossover content if requested

The only thing I won't really do is anything like personal (x reader) imagines type stuff, even for moodboards, aesthetics, etc. I don't know you, so I can't make content involving you. I also won't do anything about actors; just keep content fictional

1. Shadow Work Series—Dealing With Powerful Emotions

Shadow Work is commonly understood as the unearthing of beliefs, desires and fears that hide within the sphere of our own subconscious mind. It is as esoteric or as secular as one may choose it to be. While some use divinatory tools, others do not. Witches or people who identify as pagan may choose to use magic and ritual to evoke powerful images. Ecstatic dance or altered states of consciousness can (when practiced safely) help to achieve a more open frame of mind, but to do so is not necessary. All that is needed a journal, a pen and a willingness to work.

For as many books published and blogs written on the subject, I find that dredging up uncomfortable and often disquieting aspects of ourselves is not easy. Many of us engage in such work without a necessary understanding on how to frame the emotions it can sometimes evoke, largely because we’ve never learned how. We struggle with overwhelming emotions and seek out shadow work for self-understanding, but when confronted with deeper trauma we may be hit with the reality that knowing isn’t always enough.

That being said, for my own benefit and the benefit of others, I’ve decided to undertake a series exploring my own quasi-esoteric practices in the pursuit of self understanding and share how I’ve applied dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and other therapeutic practices to help frame the feelings that arise around shadow work. Much of what I share will come from texts written by actual therapists, whose books are available to be applied in and out of session.

Note: If you are currently attending therapy sessions or already have a pre-existing relationship with a licensed professional, I advise you to chat about whether or not these strategies are for you. 

For those of you that don’t know what shadow work is, the link on the very first mention of the word shadow work should lead back to a very potent masterpost done by @unmaskingthedivine, with everything you need to get started.

Now, let’s get into it and see what we’ve got.

1. Self Soothing Strategies—Shadow Work & Distress Tolerance

So for this three part post, we’re going to look at three different ways we can deal with stressful emotional responses as they arise in our shadow work using a combination of dialectical behavioral therapy and personal insight. We can start out by employing what are called “self-soothing techniques.”

Whenever the overwhelming flood of emotions come during any given shadow work session and you no longer feel stable, cease all shadow working activity. Do not resume until you've taken a break. Remember that shadow work is an exploration of the subjective!  Whatever you find will be influenced by how you are feeling. Furthermore, your wellbeing is what’s most important. Begin by self-soothing, first by putting the pen and paper down and distracting yourself. Avoidance is unhealthy, but believe it or not, distraction in the temporary sense is your greatest ally. Here are some suggestions:

a. Distract with pleasurable activity, taking a walk, engaging in a hobby that occupies the hands such as knitting, watercolor painting or playing an instrument. Dance. Absorb yourself in a book or video game for a measured period of time. Find something that draws your attention away from the feelings for at least half an hour, or as long as it takes for you to feel stable.

b. Soothe by engaging your five senses. Listen to calming music such as Marconi Union, lo-fi hip hop or soft, ambient tunes. Put Rainy Mood on in the background if you’re mellowed by the sound of rain. Chew gum if you enjoy the taste. Treat yourself to a food that you’re permitted to eat that you also enjoy. You can also use this as a distraction technique, if you find cooking pleasurable! Relax your eyes by scrolling through stimboards, like the ones done by @prideslime and @clearslime. Watch an episode of a low-stress television show you enjoy. If you have a pet, bond with them through touch (if they like that sort of thing) and if you have a pillow, give it a comforting squeeze. Take a shower at the temperature you prefer. If you like particular textures, try using a worry stone or a velvet cloth by keeping it in your pocket! Go to a bakery just for the smell. Try burning a scented candle. Cut out perfume cards from magazines.

c. Distract yourself with counting and breathing techniques. Count both the inhalation and the exhalation of each breath backwards from ten, focusing on the sensation of the air as it passes through your lips. Do this as many times as necessary. Count or solve math problems. Focus on things like word puzzles, sudoku or brain-teaser / neuroplasticity apps. Try things like Viridi.

2. Radical Acceptance: Seeing Things For What They Are

One of the most difficult parts of dealing with overwhelming emotions are our own innate reactions to them. Our automatic response is to repress, subdue or lash out against our natural disposition toward feeling. However in shadow work, feelings are essential. Emotions are often the signposts that help us interpret what it is that we’ve found. Radical acceptance does a lot to help us then, to not only accept our feelings but later use them to empower positive change.

So in order to change things about ourselves and throughout life in general, we must first accept them uncritically and as they are. That does not mean we have to approve of them! Once we’ve found something in ourselves we might not necessarily like or know what to do with, instead of immediately making up our minds, we can practice acceptance instead.

If we discover aspects of the shadow that we dislike or find painful, we can say the following:

Every choice both I and others have made have led to this moment. 

I cannot affect what has already happened.

The present is all I can control. I am the only one who can change things.

Fighting the past only blinds me to the present.

What I discovered is what should be, given all that’s happened before.

I am the agent of my own rescue. I do not need to rewrite what’s happened to me.

Try practicing these things not only in shadow work, but also in every day life and you’ll be amazed. Once you’ve accepted any given situation, solutions begin to follow. “What is” becomes within your control; you become the arbiter of your own destiny.

3. Emotional Signposts: What Do They Mean?

After you feel adequately soothed, relaxed and in control of the present, you’re able to revisit what you’ve found. One of my favorite comics by @elodieunderglass​ talks about the emotional recognition, a concept I learned from an old acquaintance of mine. Emotions are actually our guide. Through learning more about emotional responses, we learn about ourselves. Sometimes when we assume we understand the impetus for an emotional response right away, we do ourselves a disservice. After the shadow work session, we can look at the material we journaled about within the framework of the emotional response we had and determine whether or not our findings were indicative of something more. 

Did that feeling of hopelessness overtake us because we are objectively helpless, or was it due to a history of having our autonomy obstructed or taken away? Did our feelings of shame indicate that the quality or characteristic we found in ourselves was unacceptable, or did it perhaps indicate a discomfort with our own identity thanks to feedback by our families and friends? Were we angry because we truly wished to lash out in violence or is was it because we were masking a deeper, more vulnerable emotion and using our anger to regain control?

As we reflect on our shadow work within the frame of our own emotions, we stand to gain more from it. The more we become accustomed to our feelings and to coping with them, the less we behave in ways that are potentially destructive, avoidant or afraid. This way, the quality of our life may begin to improve in unexpected ways!

It’s my hope that this was of some help to you, if you’ve made it this far. It’s a pleasure to share my findings with you and my hope they help yield insight that help you to find some peace of mind. I’ll include references below!
