#survive stress

[mspi]

Have you felt this before?

Try finding yourself a healthier job, because this is toxic. I've been there before. Imagine making $52k and willing to drop to minimum wage with benefits for fresh air and beautiful skies.

It's not because it was IT. It was the stress from upper management, lawyers, spammers, and all their smoking. BTW you know you're screwed when one of the founders and your HR director gave the smokey musk.

My daily swimming to get that environment off me didn't really help. An hour+ of laps followed by a shower at least made me feel secure about kicking back on the comfy living room couch.

Don't I wish they had Fitbits back then. Ok only curious. My roomie thought I was trying to lose weight and was always making me feel positive about my body. Oh, that's not the reason for all my exercise. It's how I let loose the yucky feelings I wanted to beat up.

Instant fix was the day my ex came home from work and saw me happily laying across the couch. Arns up saying, "I'm unemployed!"

Some people thought I was planning on mooching off unemployment. Uh nope. Only took a needed year away from IT. We were sure to throw me 🔙 in the industry once there was an opening with my name on it. That's with 4-days of studying a Microsoft certification manual.

Yeah I can't believe I survived it either. But my goodness did working for the new company feel like everything I expected it to be like. Of course, 5yrs later they died, deli their patents to other companies. Happy most went to Google at least.

people when trauma victims act traumatized especially in a way that is unpalatable to them because it involves lashing out and unpredictable moods and having boundary issues rather than just being demure, sad, and consumable

At some point in your life, there will be a moment where exactly - or near exactly - half the people in the world are younger than you, and half the people are older.

And I think that moment should be the one your soulmate Mark appears at, not at birth or puberty or something. Both because at birth is kind of boring but it's also very you-centric and soulmates are about the thing outside of you being a part of you, and I think it would be nice to include The World.

But also I think it would have fascinating implications for scientific and social studies. Longevity trends tracked by the average age soul marks appear. Tragedies causing a rash of recent marks to disappear (because the people are no longer the middle). Marks appearing early during baby booms.

Been wanting to draw some fanart for Poor George MAP since it's my favorite one, and because it was its anniversary recently, I finally did it :>

ID: A digital drawing in two panels with characters from Warriors. In the panel above, there's Yellowfang watching Brokenkit play with a moss ball, she looks endearingly at the little kit; they're in a green environment and plants surround them. In the panel below, Yellowfang is in the same possition, looking down at an adult Brokenstar at her feet, already dead, she looks sorrowful. Fireheart is by her side, looking at her with compassion. They're at ThunderClan's medicine den.

murph's ability to say something depressing about riz so nonchalantly yet it cuts me so deep i have to pause and take a second to reflect on myself

[neuroticboyfriend]

i dont think people realize how painful it is to constantly live in survival mode. like fight/flight/freeze/etc. is reserved for when you're close to fucking dying. people weren't made to live entire lives in that state. can you imagine the damage that does?

[aethersea]

it is funny though how kids' shows are so so so careful about death, no one's ever killed except MAYYYYBE the big bad, all those random side characters are fine, here have a quick shot of them before we leave just so you know they really did survive that 50-foot drop into a stormy sea,

and meanwhile kids' books nearly all agree that it's not an adventure until it has a body count.

I know Vaggie’s fighting style is something practically ingrained in her via years of very vigorous military training but how reckless did she act outside of it? She knows she isn’t invulnerable- Lute made sure of that - but then again these are sinners and non-angelic weapons can’t injure her permanently. She’s spent god knows how long hunting down, fighting and killing sinners under the assumption that they couldn’t harm her in a way that matters. She threatens Alastor in the pilot and is generally unimpressed by him despite knowing his history and reputation. What i'm saying is that she probably gave Charlie a heart attack early on

Prompt/idea #6

Y'all what if when Danny's not feeling that good (is very injured/didn't eat anything/sleep deprived) he instead of fainting just... Turns into his 14 yo self.

That wasn't such a problem at the begginjng bc he was short king and well, he didn't change that much.

But now? When he's in college (basically always on the verge of fainting from exhaustion/hunger/dehydration/whatever unholy thing he consumed to stay awake and functioning) in Gotham? When he's 24, and yeah, maybe he didn't grow that much in height, but he lost the baby fat. His face didn't look so hopeful, and innocent and he gained quite few scars.

So yeah, changing into his 14yo self wasn't the greatest by itself. But add the trauma Danny has when looking at himself in the mirror, and overall being in the wrong body (thinking about what younger him didn't know, like u can add angst Abt canon stuff, like Vlad was a fucking creep, pariah dark, or add vivisection and Dani dying or whatever).

So Danny was being extra careful about taking care of himself (he thought, like a liar). And maybe that day he forgot breakfast, lost his pocket money, his card declined, he couldn't sleep because of reccuring nightmares and the only edible (that's questionable tho) thing in his bag was some somehow wrong ectoplasm he stole from some guy few weeks ago (and Danny needed to ask the him where tf did he manage to find such a disgusting ecto. Like not even his parents manage to fuck it up that badly).

So when on his way home, some fucking asshole jumped him, of course he was going to freak the fuck out.

...if knocking the guy out counts as freaking out. And showing some of his more ghostly features out (read show the asshole the indescribable horrors of balancing life and death for eternity and no time at all).

And that somehow tipped Danny over the top. So now he's sitting there, in his now way too big clothes next to the knocked out (hopefully) clown, drawing dumb pictures on his face, waiting for Jazz to pick him up and maybe help him dispose of the body.

(bonus points if the batfam saw this go down and are now so fucking confused how tf did some twink™ knocked out the fucking joker in one punch, and than transformed into a fuckibg child????? B, no, put the adoption papers down-!)

(bonus bonus points if 14 yo Danny looks exactly like 14yo Jason, and they (especially Jason) just see young Jason sitting next to dead? Joker w a crowbar, drawing dicks on his face)

(also the reason why Danny doesn't know who joker is, is bc every time someone started talking Abt joker or the clown he assumed he was something like batman, and wasn't interested in learning anything Abt anything clown themed)
