#sticks my hand out of the ground to give a thumbs up.#sorry a lot came down on me and I've been more than out of it and needed to stick my head in the freezer.#probably better I not say More but buhgh. still fuzzy. its been a long week. i always come back to dimitri. i guess hes a comfort character#whenever I get stressed to physical symptoms i end up with a big block of photos in my phone...lockscreen... pfp...dumb but. it works. agh.#pass the mitri...#armour clanking#fe3h#dimitri alexandre blaiddyd#is it weird to put my tag-admission of life in a character tag? probably but i'm half-aware at best. i wish other dimitri fans a very mitri

ah yes
playing my favourite game of "why are my insides tormenting me?": stress, gastrointestinal infection, intolerance to something, probably ibs, cramps, cancer god forbid, dehydration, stress, gut bacteria shenanigans, hunger, the plague (long covid), stress....
#did i mention stress#i think ive been having on and off tummy issues since highschool#thats like 7 years now lol#my insides = soggy biscuits atp#im seriously not having a good time#stomach issues#stomach problems#my dumbass brain-gut axis#go to a doctor u say? u forget i have memory issues i cant trust my brain at all. also i have no time awareness#only i could have been legit in pain for years and think to myself yeah that was last month. like two weeks ago. just the other day#id be a terrible patient lol#when did the symptoms start? whos to say#can u describe the pain? idk can i#are u stressed? bish u think?#idk man#i realised recently that im terrifed of hospitals. very convenient that im in uni studying the hospital major lol#i mean as in having the script flipped on me. im chill w being the doctor. the patient? id rather be punted into the sun im sorry#so much respect and all my prayers to everyone with chronic illnesses. those who are all too well acquainted with hospital rooms & monitors#and everyone in between. ive seen it first hand and it can be so painful. from check ups to treatment its all so. difficult?#.......just realising that this may or may not be related to my fear of -to the point of evasion- vulnerability. hgfdsdf damn#ending the post here before i discover more uncomfortable truths abt myself lmao

i've been in a very "nostalgic for SpongeBob" mood lately and that's warranted a lot of reflecting on Baby Me being a Sponge fanatic and thinking of what she'd think of now. and i have to say that one of my favorite parts of doing what i do--and also the most stupidly niche--is that one of my first online hyperfixations i recall having was SpongeBob production music. i remember animating magical girl transformations in Flipnote to SPONGEBOB MUSIC. i remember feeling so smart researching all the songs and getting to hear them without any dialogue on top. very gratifying to 11 year old me. i was and am still very fixated on production music, and so i always get very excited when seeing uploads of these songs and spotting a screenshot of a scene i worked on among them. one of my favorite aspects of watching episodes premiere is seeing what music they added on top of scenes i touched. it's just neat how many facets my thankfulness for Doing What I'm Doing gets to reach. i'm never not thinking of how grateful i am to be doing what i'm doing
#i have a life dictated by cartoons and it is genuinely so wonderful#it can be very stressful and usually i am my own worst stressor#but i'm lucky that stuff like 'i don't have enough time to draw these cartoons' 'i can't write about cartoons fast enough' 'i have too many#cartoons to draw' are my issues#it's hard and taxing work and not easy but i never once have not been in love with my job or my hobbies or my passions#i've been having difficulty managing my time lately and getting into a funk because of how i can't draw enough or write quick enough#and i think i just need to SLOW. THE HELL. DOWN. nobody is going to crucify me. i'm drawing hundreds of individual drawings a week of cours#i'm not going to be drawing as much as i once was#but i'm very aware of how grateful i am to be having such an issue#and so i'm rambling incoherently about it here!#so: thanks for reading! thanks for your support#i know i've been awful keeping up with messages and i really am making an effort to manage my time better i am always always on the go#but your support means so much to me and i read every tag every ask every DM. yes even that one#it's just important for me to stress because i often don't have the capacity to respond but i am so grateful for my followers and your#support and presence. so thank you

#just a little mental health check in mostly for myself just to write it down#I'm in a weird place#in some regards I've been doing really well lately#I've been more social which always does wonders for my mental health#on the other hand a couple weeks ago I was home alone for a couple days and I was so stir crazy I almost couldn't handle it#I've actually been happy with my body for the last few months and I haven't had any anxiety about food nor have I attempted any restrictions#that's been a big bonus#I'm having a lot of trouble with decisions lately. I'm second guessing everything to a stressing degree#I feel like a bad person for reasons I can't totally pinpoint. like I think I'm manipulating everyone but to what end I can't tell#and there's a part of me that knows this is irrational but I can't shake it#it's so weird being aware that I'm doing so well in many regards#but I'm also able to feel myself slipping into types of paranoia that I know I'm suseptible to#today's been better but for the last few days my heart rate has been noticeably high (which says a lot because it is generally high)#it's caused unease#I don't know if I really have a point to typing any of this out#I'm feeling fine overall. I'm happy with my life right now. I have plenty of things to look forward to in the near and further future#I can just tell something is a little off and I think it might be beneficial to my future self to write this out for sake of timeline#I really need to start tracking my period because it totally might be that. or you know. I have OCD and anxiety is just a part of my life#who knows. it could be a mix or nothing or everything#I don't think anyone's reading this whole thing lol but if anyone does I do want to leave the reassurance that I'm fine and I'll be fine#like I said. just keeping an eye on myself.#oh I thought of another positive thing! I've been way less freaked out about chemicals lately! that's a nice note to end this on!#ashley rambles

#just a heads up if it seems like I'm blogging and normal: I am not#have genuinely been struggling between planning either... suicide. or to run away from everything#idk all I can even say is I'm just capital t Trying. right now. for anything#so I'm distracting myself somewhat with stuff like finishing fgo stories and whatever#All I want is to be treated with a little dignity.#and I feel like lately nobody does or people just assume the worst of me and then blame me for it#or infantilize me or act like I'm some fucking animal to be observed and trained#this is on top of the amount of stress I'm going thru at work being the person who comes in clutch while Everybody calls out sick#so yeah I have been contemplating ending it all lately because I can't fix myself and I kind of don't want to#regular posting may return idk#we'll just have to see how this next week goes#I just ask people to not take out their frustration on me I am already dealing with everybody I ever known taking it out on me right now#and treating me badly and blaming things on me because they know I can 'handle it'#so I'm struggling between 'it's really me that's irrevocably bad everyone else is right' and 'everyone is taking their depression out on me'#and I just. can't. take it. anymore.#and I don't have the energy to defend myself because every day someone asks me to take responsibility for some nonsense or try to mediate#and i don't have time for my own feelings right now so I'm just driven to try and hurt myself#and I couldn't even talk about this for a week. I would hear myself or another alter telling me to shut the fuck up and stop being dramatic#I couldn't process anything#I couldn't physically or mentally even conceptualize telling anyone anything because it all just seemed so stupid to me#and it kind of is?#but I don't really know what to do about it.#so here I am. Still here for now. I don't know. I don't feel like anyone can actually help me. I'm well aware that nobody Can help me#so rose is forced to be alone once again while whatever this is passes or changes shape. idk#long tags //////92829

#robin processes emotions on main#would it be evil to stay home from family thanksgiving because I don't think I can do all my homework if I go. would it be selfish#it probably would be selfish#I'm just feeling overwhelmed tonight because I remembered All Of The Homework due on Tuesday next week and I was planning#to do most of that homework today but there's more than I thought and I also chose to do a thanksgiving dinner and online games#with the uncle who also stayed home from family thanksgiving this year. and it was fantastic and I wouldn't trade that for the world#but it was last minute and I'm SO OVERWHELMED NOW 😭#and I just DROPPED THE PIZZA SAUCE from the pizza he bought me and it was just the last straw folks. now there's pizza sauce#on the floor and tears in my eyes and my throat hurts. and I'm aware this whole upset is selfish but STILL#still#wellllll anyway sorry#big sniff#I'm fine and everything will be fine this is just a lose/lose situation#also I'm not feeling well physically and driving four hours tomorrow for a stressful event sounds really sucky :(#four hours round trip for like six hours in person

Mmm the urge to delete everything and disappear into the ether is taking hold again…..
Because like who’s gonna miss me, you know? A few friends, no lovers, my family will get over it. Even Tim will move on, bless his tiny little traumatized brain cell. I think the only one who would give a shit long term is Damian.
#bee rambles#it’s because I’m very stressed and anxious about the coming weekend I’m fully logically aware#i got some personal demons rearing their ugly heads and i just know im gonna take it out on someone who doesn’t deserve it#tbd#been in my own head all week so this is nt shocking#reminder for new folks tim and damian are my cats

#I am so sick of everything right now#there are things I need to do#and decisions I need to make#and people I need to get back to#about things they've asked about... weeks ago now#and it's not that I don't actually have time for these obligations#I just feel so completely mentally and emotionally frayed#and all I want to do is scream at everyone to leave me alone#(even while yeah I am also lonely and aware that increasing social isolation isn't going to actually help with Issues)#but I just don't want to deal with#any of this#so many things feel unsustainable#and yet the prospect of change literally makes me physically sick#and even trying to do anything differently#takes so so so much energy I do not have#sick of Trying#but not trying just means the problems and stresses keep getting worse so#back to work I guess

God, Sonic X lol You know Sonic is a genuinely pure-hearted person despite his flaws, 'cause if my friend-group had that little faith in me as a person after I had saved every single one of their lives and the entire planet on multiple occasions, I would literally never speak to these people lmao
Yes, I am at the Sunshine Ball episodes XD
#Sonic the Hedgehog#Sonic X#also the fact Sonic is the only person#including several *scientists*#to come to the conclusion that ''hey the planet fucking moves ya know?''#is a buck fucking wild plot point lmao#but the fact Sonic held the sole ownership of the planet's collective braincell in that episode aside#why are the people in this show always to quick to just immediately believe he's suddenly turned evil every time this happens?#ya know the way putting your life on the line to save the entire a planet several times is obviously an indicator of secret evil right?#like wtf XD#this boy has been nothing but kind and protective of these people since he showed up#yet they like froth at the mouth for any excuse to label him a villain#and I know it's a racism metaphor#I am aware of that#but this guy goes Super Saiyan and ''kills'' a God (Chaos) for these people at one point like????#and yes I know the sunshine balls are emitting subliminal messages but people are acting like this before them#like a week before the sunshine ball episodes he literally just teleported away a planet-destroying nuke#I cannot stress enough the ARK plot took place maybe 2 weeks prior to this lmao#didn't learn their lesson from 2 weeks ago when they arrested him for the crimes of a guy who looks literally nothing like him#but also just so happened to be a hedgehog as well#which I've said before but I'll say again; is absolutely the Mobian equivalent of a micro-aggression#''you match the description of a person of interest''-ass plot line

love watching weather science videos but like. why am i 1000x more interested in tornadoes over hurricanes. they're both spinning air
#we wanted to be a stormchaser when we were younger#nowadays we have to worry about our health too much to have such a risky high-stress high reaction time job#been watching nothing but tornado history videos for days it's one of our intermittent special interests#stemming from the weather science workbook we OBSESSED over as a kid#would read that thing cover to cover multiple times a week. i was the kind of autistic who would read the Encyclopedia for fun#i actually had a fave encyclopedia entry as a kid and now i cannot fucking remember it 😭#i also learned what sex was through the encyclopedia 😭😭😭😭 was legit my first exposure to the concept#but like even though we watch A TON of weather videos including tons of stuff about thunderstorms and blizzards#(thunderstorms my fucking beloved. favourite weather pattern ever. cumulonimbus my bestest friend <3)#most of the videos we watch are mostly tornado videos. and hurricane videos feel boring to us#even though hurricanes are wayyy more powerful#tornadoes are still fucking powerful it's just more. concentrated#tornadoes to me feel Targeted like. that's weather that says Fuck YOU in particular actually#especially multivortex tornadoes where you can literally have two houses both in the middle of the storm at once#and still only one of them gets destroyed#or like pictures you can see of demolished houses with their mailbox in the yard simply untouched#i like to watch tornado videos bc they help me. prepare. just in case#our state gets hit with tornadoes pretty frequently though not as much as tornado alley#and i like to know all the information for sheltering and what to do in the event of a collapsed building and such#i have a little survival kit in the bathroom just in case with like basic first aid and a radio and bottled water#bc thats probably the safest room for me to be in since it's not near any external walls and also hiding in the tub is usually good#also in the event you're caught on the road during a tornado#DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE shelter under a bridge or overpass#those work basically like straws where as the air gets pushed through it goes MUCH faster and gets dangerous way easier#as far as im aware the best place to be is in a ditch or hole if you absolutely cannot find a shelter in time#if you do not have a car with roll protection then being in your car will probably be worse#NOT AN EXPERT THO pls verify this information on your own if you think it is relevant or necessary i have poor memory and can be stupid#i just know that overpasses are dangerous as hell

life is pretty much about learning to love your solitude and making the most of it huh?
#i was driving from Walmart when i noticed a white suv alone in the parking space at Wendy's and there was an elderly lady eating on her own#and it just hit me that life is lonely sometimes#i got a little sad at first but then i thought maybe she just got a craving or maybe even though she is alone in that moment#she has a family and friends that loves her#or maybe she's okay with living this life of solitude and is making the most of it#idk#i guess i've been more aware of people being on their own#it got me wondering: do people who have families partners kids ever still feel lonely and sad?#i wonder if i ever find a partner and if we ever have kids.. will i still be unable to shake off this loneliness and sadness in me?#maybe?#but even then#i always try to BREATH and smile at life#i have this opportunity of making the most of it and do my best#what more can as of than that? a chance.#😊😊😊😊#sigh#oh well#this was just a little existential feeling i had this morning#i am stressed out with finals this week but i submitted my essay last night (🙌🏽 woohoo) and i am going to make myself some mean fish tacos#for dinner.#but before that i am going to enjoy a nice cold weather walk at the park#and finish my day watching cheesy low budget random romantic movies#all is well#😊😊😊#personal#oh and i have a job interview tomorrow so sighhhhhhhhhh

One of the dumb things I do at home is walk around while reading (something I'm fairly adept at but does cause consistent minor to occasionally major issues)
Due to a natural disaster I now temporarily live in a state with something I have a phobia of (again), and have encountered several times in the house in just the week I've been here, so now I have to carefully scope out the entire room every time I walk around and maintain a situational awareness that is truly exhausting to maintain
True home is safety, and true safety is the safety to do silly things without fear of disproportionate consequences
#Helene made my home unhabitable for an indefinite amount of time#so now I live in Texas again#somewhere I swore never to move back to#because it has hurricanes and cockroaches and bad laws#and twice in my life in the 10 years I lived here I woke up with a cockroach on my face#and there's been so many cockroaches in this house already#when I lived here I had constant situational awareness at home because abusive home life and cockroaches#and these people aren't abusive but they are my in-laws and very stressful even though they're great in many ways#I am so tired#and miss home#had a serious internal debate today about moving back despite the conditions#it would be stupid buuuuuuuuut#not living with extroverts#the amount of things I can do while simultaneously reading is impressive and stupid#it's been a week and a half and I'm already homesick RIP#high revelations as I deal with homesickness yay#yes I said something

i've been so creatively fulfilled lately so i compiled a few of my doodle pages into one!!!!!!!!!!
#i still do not have a tag for things i've made (that i'm aware of)#AND I WON'T MAKE ONE#anyway#it's been so fun to write and — when not writing or editing — doodle away to chill!!! it's stress free!!! it's fun!!!!!#u could not pay me to put something cohesive together though. sorry.#brush tests and doodle pages are all i can feasibly dedicate myself to#also! no freak week spoilers here. i checked.#anything freak-adjacent is just me being odd on the internet for free#sorry mom#shardart#or#shart

Since you mentioned it, what did you think of Speak No Evil? I was thinking of watching it myself :0
i really liked it ............ my friend scoffed at me when i told her i was watchin it so take my opinion with a grain of salt tho </3
#snap chats#SHE DIDNT EVEN WATCH IT BUT W/E SPOILER FREE QUICK REVIEW DOWN HERE HIIII <3<3<3<3#ive been made aware my tastes are. Questionable so proceed with caution vlklvjv im so sorry if i convince you to see it and you dont like i#moving on I Have. done nothing but listen to Eternal Flame for the past week its been stuck in my head ever since#BUT FR as i said I Really Liked It. i heard that theres another/original version so i wanna watch that at some point#if i care to remember and find it vjaelkjeakl but as This Movie On Its Own i had a swell time !!!#it does a really good job of teetering that line of#'this is just a quaint little sometimes-awkward get-together' and 'this is so stressful i just might throw up'#it did a good job of keeping me invested and on my toes i guess- it bitters innocuous scenarios really well which i like#like i wasnt sure WHEN whatever scene i was watching would turn sour but i always had that feeling it /would/- that lingering feeling#the horror in this is more psychological than violent- it only gets crazy by the last quarter honestly#which isnt bad! i like psych horror and Christ. the amount of times i was just grimacing in my seat like Suspense Is The Word#like imagine a dinner party where people only say controversial things and you dont want to blow up the situation#so you just try to be really polite about pivoting from the topic. but they keep going. thats basically the horror of this movie at its cor#i do have SOME comments about some bits but i wanna rewatch the movie at some point to be thorough on my comments jglejlakj#yk do a rewatch where im. NOT jokin bout with my brother- THO TBF DESPITE THAT I was still invested#like its premise is so. simple? in concept imo. but 'simple' isnt automatically bad in my eyes and i really liked how it played out#i dont watch movies much tho so maybe its been done different but there is ONE thing tht definitely made me like. HUH#but its nothing super major i dont htink? I MEAN IT WAS KINDA BIG BUT there were signs to it being revealed. still it made me vjLJ like god#i cant explain tho cause SPOILERS but ... Yeah. its not that crazy it just definitely took me by surprise for how quick the reveal was#tldr: if you ever wanted to watch an awkward dinner party where you couldnt do anything about it this is the movie to watch#and i like that. i like that because i hate myself apparently jVLAEKJVAEKLJ#coupled with horror it was also funny at times which i felt did help with that underlying 'when will this be tainted' horror#i really liked that ... when normalcy or the feeling of safety can be taken away in an instant#if you watch it and wanna talk bout it more in depth ill prob have rewatched it by then and id like to give a more. Detailed review#OR AT LEAST ONE NOT SO RAMBLY VELKAVJEALKJ im not good at reviewing things .... i just know when i like or dont like somethin ..#ive only had my bro to talk bout this with and he doesnt really. Give his thoughts or opinions too much like i do#so id be happy to talk bout it and get your perspective !!!! but only if you want Again if you dont like it im so sorry erlakjaekl#god theres so much more i want to say but im just rambling and i wanna be brief for you my friend vlakjlakvlkj#anyway yeah. those are my quick thoughts. i was Very Normal about james mcavoy for most of this movie ty for reading

I feel like I came out of the womb with raging anxiety
#never been fully relaxed a day in my life#literally had a panic attack at age 6-7(?)#I’ve been super self aware for as long as I can remember#the tension in my body is my natural state#I’ve BEEN imagining every worst case scenario since I could form thoughts#7th-8ish grade is where it got worse#had panic attacks like four times a week#and then heart palpitations started and holy shit I was googling symtoms and that would make it worse#was convinced I would get a heart attack#having a headache is part of my daily routine#then I got a crush on a guy and with it came body dysmorphia#couldn’t look people in the eye from how ugly I felt(still struggle with this one but we got this💪🏼💪🏼)#now I mostly just cry#like I deadass get stressed and overwhelmed and just cry#depression came next and I was honestly not surprised#and it tampered my anxiety a bit but I’d honestly rather feel stressed than feel so numb#yeah I wouldn’t recommend#so basically I lie awake feeling aware of my own heartbeat or of my body#oh and I can’t forget the physical pain that anxiety caused me#muscle aches literally convinced me there was something wrong with me#went to the doctor numerous times bc I NEEDED to be diagnosed with something or I would go crazy and instead got told to see a therapist#and the therapist basically told me everything I had already figured out myself but at least I can talk to someone#tw anxiety#tw depression#tw body dysmorphia#anxiety#mentions of depression#and I’m only a teenager so should I be worried about what happens in the next few years? bc this already sounds like a lot to me#this was supposed to be a funny little post but nvm I guess?? don’t worry about me I’m good though many good things in my life#teenager
