The Statue Saga. Edited all on my phone so excuse the choppy footage.

Joel: I'm going to make these so ugly that no one is going to like them, then blame it all on Etho. That'll get him!

Bdubs, Skizz & Mumbo: This is spectacular, amazing, breathtaking. I love it. I'm never taking this statue down.

I cut most of the actual building of the statues out since I wanted to move so focus on the reactions but if you want to see the actual building process I've written the timestamp below. Also there are more scenes that I probably missed or chose not to include so here are some more timestamps. I highly recommend you to check the videos/streams out for yourself.

me as a little kid: is told that to be a narcissist is to be a self-absorbed abuser

internalizes this, misunderstands 'self-absorbed' as any sort of indulgence in confidence

develops depression by 8 years old, has a horrific lack of self-esteem and hardly allows myself to fully receive compliments

at least I'm not a narcissist!

me now: is a narcissist

Every time I read 55 Minutes I always giggle at this art in the beginning and think abt the story from Akutagawa’s perspective cause he literally had one job that had nothing to do with Atsushi, saw something out of context and assumed Atsushi was a terrorist, got his memories sent back in time, immediately dropped everything he was supposed to do to hunt Atsushi down and kill him, and then ended up sort of teaming up with him to help defeat Gab in the end

This is exactly how I feel... I spent 5 years teaching myself how to program. It doesn't feel like an accomplishment, or at all connected to my current job as a programmer. And I didn't do the learning for any type of goal at all, I just found it sort of entertaining.

I usually attribute my success to "luck", because no part of it felt like "hard work". It was just the sort of dicking around I usually do.

people say folks with adhd struggle with "delayed rewards" aka long term goals and as such we tend to focus more on short term rewards. what they don't talk about is that at when we Do accomplish long term goals we don't actually feel anything proportionate to the amount of work we did to achieve it. In my head I suffered for a while and then money spontaneously appeared in my bank account.

NaClYoHo Day 1

I'm counting yesterday and today as a collective victory, because I managed to take out some recycling I hadn't bothered with in a while for 2 days in a row. No listening stuff today, unfortunately—couldn't quite figure out how to start a full timer this evening.

But hey, somehow I also managed to write 1,111 words. You can take the blogkeeper out of the novel writing challenge, But I guess getting the blogkeeper to stop writing in November is a bit of a different matter.

when you fail to hand in an important assignment in time and get yelled at by your mom so many times because of it, that you decide one afternoon to drink an unhealthy amount of green tea in hopes it overdoses you a bit, so you feel ill and fall asleep (as it has already happened once unintentionally), but instead you get the most productive afternoon in the last two months, the urge to finally ask for extensive help on the assignment and manage to organize your life again in just two hours

tried to start an evil bg3 run for the sole purpose of being evil with minthara together, except all the choices i’m making are more along the lines of “i made a bad decision and accidentally killed everyone” rather than being actually evil

So I got a random urge to write, which is not a thing that really happens for me. I opened up a google doc with an old idea I threw on there once months ago and this is how it went:

i feel like part of the reason sir brian is so much skeevier than like... your average Baritone Stalking A Soprano is that he does pretty much just say ‘i do not want to marry you i just want sex’. like MOST opera does manage to obfuscate the... what happens after the wedding ceremony but can’t really do that with Guy Who Can’t Get Married.

Me: I'm going to write shorter chapters now because that's way easier to edit 🙂

The last chapter: over 8k words

The rough draft of this chapter: over 5k words

Me: 🥲

I did this and now I have a god complex

it's been said before and i'm sure said better than i can phrase it. but really, really - if you like making "i'm going to kill myself" jokes, please try switching to being ironically conceited instead.

anytime something goes wrong, say things like "ah well at least i'm beautiful and charming and everyone loves me." when you forget something, try "my big huge brain is so smart and thinking about too many other very big wizardly thoughts you wouldn't even understand." when you're frustrated by one of your symptoms, start talking like you're in My Immortal. "Life has come for me but my eyes are beautiful pools of gorgeous fire and my hair is amazing. I stuck my middle finger up at life and told it to fuck off and it did."

just... try it for a month or two. try saying the most absurdly self-congratulatory shit you can think of.

i know it's tempting to make suicide or self-harm jokes. and for me at least, a decade ago (!) when someone suggested i stop making those kinds of jokes, i was kind of at a loss for what to replace them with. i wanted to make light of these moments, but genuinely (at the time) my first thought really was suicidal ideation. there was a part of me that even felt like ... i was kind of "making light" of that voice. that if i could say i want to die lol, it would help take the sting out of that genuine (albeit passive) desire. like i could turn my illness into a joke.

when i started complimenting myself instead, it felt awkward and stupid. it felt really, really ironic. what i was actually saying was nobody would ever think this stuff about me, that's what makes it so fucking funny.

but. the effect was immediate. first thing i noticed was the people around me. when i dropped a glass and said ah my skin is too beautiful and sleek the glass has swooned and broken for me, other people were suddenly overjoyed to jump in with the joke. rather than making an awkward moment, we'd both start cracking up. ah princess sleek hands, i've heard of you.

i was 19. i hadn't noticed i'd been making others tense when i said i want it all to end. i know now that it's incredibly hard to know how to walk that moment - do you talk to them about your concern? do you potentially make them uncomfortable by asking if they're okay? do you ignore the situation? do you help them pick up the glass, or do they need to do it by themselves? are they genuinely made suicidal over this small moment? and most importantly, how do you - without professional training or supplies - actually help?

most people want to help you pick up the glass in your life, they just have no fucking idea how to do it. they don't want to make anything worse. they don't want to make assumptions about you. they love you, they're scared for you - and being scared makes people kind of freeze up. it's not because they don't love you. it's because they do.

now when something bad happens, my first thought is how can i make a stupid joke about this. it isn't my brain saying you're a dumb fucking bitch. i spend more time laughing. i spend more time being gentle with myself. i spend more time feeling good.

and the thing is - what's kind of funny - is that you'd be surprised by how many people agree with you. the first time i said i'm too pretty to understand that, someone else said to be fair you're the prettiest person in this room. i promise - you really don't know how kindly your friends see you. but they love you for a reason. they sort of reverse-velveteen-rabbit you. your weird and ugly spots fade away and you just become... the love they want to give you.

go love yourself ironically. the worst thing that happens is that you end up tricking your reflection into actually loving you.

You know when I first saw people spouting that “they are only trans because it turns them on they aren’t ACTUALLY trans it’s just a disgusting fetish” stuff (and I was presented this information in a very polite way that would easily make someone buy into it) my first thought was just “well that’s okay by me, I don’t care what the reason is for them wanting to change their identity or get surgery, I think they should be allowed to. I don’t see why it being for sexual reasons would make it any less valid.” And that was a long time ago but now I’ve suddenly started seeing it more and with people saying “don’t listen to that, people make that up about trans people all the time” I’ve just been like oh. I don’t know why the idea that it was a transphobic lie never crossed my mind I was just way too ready to accept them lol.

sometimes i see fan theories or like general fandom stuff that make me go "idk i'm lacking information abt some plot twist that contradicts what i already know bc i'm a new player and haven't finished all missions yet, or if you're simply gone full on fanon brain and forgot plain text things the game freely gives you bc it's been awhile since you played/watched these parts"
