Quick Patreon Update
Posted this on my Patreon but wanted to post this publicly here as well!
Just wanted to let everyone know that unfortunately due to personal matters, I had to pick up two additional jobs that will leave me with very little free time until June.
I have Roman and Torch's short stories both partially written and Naomi and Ricin's story fully outlined, I've just been deeply struggling to have time to write anything.
My plan in regards to Horsemen after discussing with my editor (she's currently taking a vicious red pen to A Masque of Shadows, would LOVE to publish that in time for the winter holidays!) is I'm writing books two through four (War, Famine, and Death) all at once and plopping them on her. I want her to be able to read all four books as a cohesive whole so that all character arcs, foreshadowing, plot developments, and so on flow properly from book to book.
As a result I'm just writing what I can from that quartet in my free time.
I'm sorry to not be able to continue with Tales from the Scorched Lands this entire time as I had planned, but unfortunately I have people other than myself to support and there's been quite a lot of bad news in my real life that has necessitated taking on some projects/jobs I had sincerely hoped I would never have to work again. Fingers crossed this is the last year I'll have to do so!
I plan to return to sharing those short stories in June, and in the meantime know that I am still writing (the Horsemen quartet) when I can, and that my editor is working on MoS, so I am not idle!
Thank you all again for your support and see you (most likely) in June!

something i like to think about sometimes is that. man. you could really create some kind of perfect storm with the combo of tim's post-infinite crisis fear of losing kon again + kon's intense, but generally passive, suicidality. guy who was so convinced he had to die a hero that when it happened he didn't even seem bothered by it (because he can't be traumatized by his own death if it was what he was literally made for, right?) x guy who has developed a whole new type of mental illness out of the survivor's guilt 100x combo. put them both through the wringer at the same time with one easy trick (make tim think kon will try to sacrifice himself for something) (and kon very well might!)
#rimi talks#i started to write a minor tag essay but it was so incoherent. thank you migraine i have no thoughts.#but like something something ptsd that rubs up against each other wrong. and having to learn to live and grow around it#kon having the realization that his life is worth more than what he could die for - that he doesn't have to be so sacrificial#vs tim struggling with the terror of being left behind again. of having to grieve again. of how it ate him up inside and made him--#--stop caring if he himself lived or died because so many of his loved ones already were dead#it's just tasty. it's fun.#...........#.......... wait a minute.#...........................................................................................................................................#did i already write this fic.#i think i already wrote this fic. where kon tries to kill himself again for heroism.#oh my god i already wrote this fic. okay. im. um#okay post canceled im going to bed. bye#timkon#tim#kon

please don’t offer advise to chronically ill people on how to help their pain, illness, disorder, etc. we know what works, what doesn’t work, and what we’re going to try next. as someone who has fought with every family member, coworker, friend, teacher, employer, etc about what is the best treatment plan for me, i do not need your help or advise. i don’t care if you see me as lazy, rude, or dramatic. i live more than 50% of my life in bed from my pain. i have been on countless trial medications with ridiculous side effects. i’ve had er visits that end with me in more pain than when i arrived. i have fought with specialist doctors to be seen as valid in my pain. 18+ years, out of the 21 i’ve been alive, have been dedicated to fighting the nerves in my own brain. i’m tired man. just leave me be.

"The dog that weeps after it kills is no better than the dog that doesn’t. My guilt will not purify me"
that qoute lives in my head rent free.
(who said it, btw? I tried to find a source before the tumblr user @/ojibwa posted it and nothing came up)
#I struggle with certian addictions and end up relapsing and feeling immense guilt afterwards#and that guilt does nothing but add to my misery. It's just self flagellation at this point after my self will faltered#Then I remember this qoute and it helps. It grounds me a bit that there is no use weeping over this and torturing myself internally#What I can do is do better next time. Take better preventions. Have alternative ways ready.#There is no use mangling myself in guilt and shame over its corpse#the fire won't purify me. Burning myself will just leave me more wounded and susceptible to relapsing again#One of the reasons I'm very careful and cautious when it comes to taking pain killers for my migraines. I fear becoming addicted#So I just rawdog the head splitting headaches on most days#I hate taking antibiotics ugh I'm my worst self when I'm on them but I'm sick again and fuck just fuck all of this#I feel incredibly weak on them so I gravitate towards these old habits tnat I give ma rush or a feeling of being in control again#what is done is done. I'm just grateful I didn't cross the line. This is very fixable. No mistake is forever#If it is OP who came up with the post then I'm incredibly thankful for the qoute#☆other

u know me. i wouldn't know good editing if it bit me in the face. i don't complain unless the editing triggers my photosensitivity because i truly do not notice most of the editing problems people complain about (except the purple heart in that phil vid, that was wack). but what on earth happened to the audio in this video 😭 😭 😭
#lou is loud#dnp#dan and phil#phan#genuinely struggling to make it through but my migraine is also pretty bad rn so i don't think it's just the audio#i also am confused by the game i wasn't on tumblr in 2015#though also i don't think they're explaining it well/at all lol

Am I really having a migraine, or am I just imagining the horrific nausea, the vertigo, the sensitivity to light, sound, and smells, the throbbing pain on one side of my head and kinda my neck, the tingling in my arms and hands and face and legs and feet, the stiffness in my neck, the pain in my scalp, the blurry vision on the pain side, the—
#i spent yeeeears thinking i was really not having migraines#because my family has one person who gets a couple each year#and because THEY throw up sometimes with their migraines#i was told (by my family) that i COULDN'T POSSIBLY really have migraines#i have been diagnosed. by a doctor. I've had multiple medical professionals confirm i get migraine with aura#the first was my pediatrician#but my family believed all of my chronic pain issues were made up#because THEY struggled with certain things and therefore i didn't know what Real Pain™️ was#and i only THOUGHT i was in pain#so i ended up almost dying in my 20s because i didn't believe i was in at much pain as i thought i was experiencing#and i almost didn't go to the er in time 🙃#i struggle with believing in my own symptoms because i was told for my entire childhood that i wasn't really experiencing what i said i was#and i STILL doubt that I'm having migraines unless the pain gets so intense i genuinely think I'm about to die#because for years i was told that's how i would be reacting if i had real migraines#(because my family seems to believe migraines are actually ''just'' really painful headaches and not. ya know. a neurological disorder)

you ever think about how no chances is a song that the bishops made clancy write as a threat to his friends
#i have a migraine and it’s the middle of the night does this makes sense#just. imagine sitting in a gray desolate room and being forced to write#a threat to the people who are struggling in the same way you are#and there’s nothing you can do about it#and then had to PREFORM IT#TO THOSE PEOPLE#twenty one pilots#Clancy#my posts

This started as needing a break from writing. But I couldn’t find a clear version of this picture I wanted to edit so I simply decided I would just make it clear myself.…. By convincing myself that I can retrace the screen cap.
Because well… I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel here! I’m just trying to edit a pacifier on the wheel.
Also it’s Disney so the morals here are dubious anyway.

However that whole debacle then turned into adding a stuffie which meant changing the hand position which then somehow lead to making a whole new outfit. Bc regressor Lottie deserves to have a pretty ruffle butt onesie—

#sfw agere#🧸mines🍼#agere fandom#age regression#sfw age regression#agere edits#agere paci#princess and the frog#lottie#charlotte la bouff#regressor!lottie#agere art#princess agere#80% of the paci was made in canva#which was a struggle#this whole this was a struggle#I don’t know why I kept going#it gave me a migraine bc I worked on it so long#but it’s really cute#this might be a series now bc I like how it turned out#I don’t endorse tracing#and I never do it but#these were extenuating circumstances#meaning#exactly what I wrote about#things tumbled out of control okay
