Mossy Petrichor's healthy coping 101

Do you always dissociate from distressing situations, repress strong emotions or deal with stress by self harming? Do you have 0 idea what it means when people talk about "coping"? This post is for you!

I usually see this happen a lot in people who were emotionally neglected (like yours truly), which is unfortunately really common, but no less traumatizing

Psa: all of this is based off my own experience, as someone who also had no idea how to cope and learned it by themselves. This isn't medical advice!

So, what does coping mean?

When you go through a stressful situation, you can feel your emotions at a 10/10. To cope is to bring this down so you don't lose your mind. This can apply to anger, sadness, hopelessness, fear

I like to separate coping into two ways:

Expressing the emotions in a healthy way

Calming yourself and bringing the emotions down (when you can't express them, or when those emotions do more harm than good)

I usually go by 1, but 2 can be used for when, for example, feeling angry at someone who can't change. So you keep feeling this anger that you can't do anything about, and it'll just make you feel worse to keep feeling it whenever you look at this person

Here's some things to make sure to do if you're feeling shitty:

Drink water

Eat a meal

Shower/bathe

Take a nap

Move your body (go outside if you can)

Socialize, talk to friends

(think of yourself as an animal in the zoo. If you noticed them feeling bad, what would you do to make them feel better?)

Here's some examples of how to express emotions healthily:

Singing loudly, screaming, humming, stimming verbally, talking to yourself out loud about what made you feel bad

Acting, drawing, painting (it doesn't have to be perfect! Just express whatever those emotions feel like, in whichever way feels right)

Writing poetry, visual poetry, making playlists, writing (like projecting into a character, make them do the things you wish you could do to cope)

Writing about how you feel, crying, venting (can be counterproductive, so if you feel like venting is just making things worse, try something else!)

Dancing, jumping, running/walking, exercising, cleaning, stimming physically

Ripping paper, chewing on something

Baking or cooking, going outside, playing with animals, gardening, taking pictures

Here's some examples of how to calm your emotions when you can't express them:

Watch something that makes you laugh

Consume comfort media (make a list! Videos, series, movies, books, songs)

Play a chill game

Make a list of things that make you happy and read it

Listening to music

Taking deep breaths, tensing and relaxing your muscles

Engage with things that make you happy (a hobby, art, an interest)

Meditation, sitting and thinking about your emotions

This isn't an extensive list! Coping is a very personal thing, and all of these are suggestions if you don't know where to start! In the beginning, it can (and will) feel like it doesn't do anything, because you're used to immediate solutions to make you stop feeling unpleasant emotions, and healthy coping mechanisms don't work immediately - it's a long term thing

Some of these can make you feel worse, in which case you should just try something else. As I said, they won't immediately make you feel better until you're more used to coping healthily

Eventually, you'll reach a point where it feels more intuitive and less forceful and uncomfortable, but you have to get past this first phase! It's like building a muscle, and it takes work. With practice, you'll figure out what works best for you and what doesn't

I promise it gets easier :•)

Maybe this is a stupid question, but what do you think Eobard does in his free time? Like, does he have a daily schedule? A color-coded calendar with reminders how to fuck with Barry? Is he still a professor? Like, what does he DO when he isn't actively fucking up someone's life? Sry, I just got interested in him very recently, and the comics are chaotic lol

Hello~! I'm very happy to be the first to welcome you to Yellow Rat hell <3 He's such a fascinating, tragic, horrid gremlin of a man, and he definitely deserves more fans aha. As someone who reads comics, I can confirm it's not you, they can be very confusing and all over the place xD

And no, that's not a stupid question, not at all! He is shown not to always be around to bother Barry for months at a time, so it's entirely reasonable to wonder where he goes a lot of the time~ Some ideas of what he could be possibly doing are but not limited to:

Tending to his beloved museum. Aside from Barry, this is one of the very few things he treasures deeply. It's his pride and joy as well as his home. We all know he's established to be the curator of the museum and has provided tours to the public, but it's very unclear if he continued with that after becoming Reverse Flash. While he might've, I feel like there's too many reasons why he wouldn't. One being that the Renegades know his secret identity and I'm pretty sure that would ruin a lot of business for him lol. Plus with Eobard's mentality, I think he would be just too distracted, too frantic with his need to focus on Barry to do his day job

Now this is more of a fun headcanon my friend, Ftl were talking about that I since adopted where Eobard likes to pop back into the past, right before a major event or disaster, whether just as a bystander or a instigator. And of course, he always manages to run into Vandal Savage, so much to the point now that Vandal now associates him as a omen for things to come

He is canonically shown to go and bother/mess with Thomas Wayne a handful of times. This is significant as normally he really doesn't go out of his way for anyone that's not Barry/Flashfam member more than he absolutely has to. He doesn't even go after Hal. The only people he seems to be genuinely interested in and fixated on are those who have (willingly) killed him. Thomas may not rank as high as a priority as Barry, naturally, but he definitely counts as a hobby at least

There was also that time in Flash Age, where Eobard got to play the role of savior of Central City in his own era. He genuinely seemed to enjoy being the hero but, well, if you read to the end, you'll see why that most likely won't be happening again heh

Now this one is a lot more jokey, but in a DC Holiday Special, there's one panel in the last story that shows Eobard enjoying a game of poker with the Anti Monitor along with some other characters, so take from that what you will~

Now, as for your question about him still being a Professor, that's also really not explained in depth. They never really cement exactly what he's a Professor of, but considering him, it's most likely history and/or the Speed Force. In some comics he does have students, in others it works mostly as just a title and then sometimes it's not referenced at all, but it's safe to assume he still is one aha

I also don't really see him having a daily routine. The way I see it, Eobard is so far removed from being human, he doesn't really need to eat, sleep, or do personal hygiene lol But I really love your calendar idea! It would definitely look something like: "Fuck with Barry" "Fuck with Barry" "Fuck with Barry" "Fuck with Barry/Visit Daddy Bat" "Fuck with Barry/Die" "Askdhsgkdbjk" "Poker night" 😂

Also, I know it's not really canon but I really enjoy the idea of him painting. Eobard is a gifted child and a genius, he can master practically anything he sets his mind to. IDK why painting of all things, but it just kinda seems right. Bonus points if he uses it to replace original paintings in the past with his LOL

Overall, sadly, we don't get to see all the mischief he gets up to when not tormenting Barry, only tidbits. But hey, that just gives us some creative freedom to come up with fun ideas ourselves~

[makoredeyes]

Getting to know your moots

Tagged by @tarakanpaintedpurple :3

•What's the origin of your blogs title?

My tag makoredeyes is a Final Fantasy 7 reference (see Vincent Valentine <3) ... "Feralwinter" came from a joke about me comparing Felwinter from Destiny to a stray cat about a year ago.

•Favorite fandoms

Presently ears-deep in Destiny/D2 but I am also a big Titanfall2 fan, LOVE Trigun, and Final Fantasy 7 and its derivatives will forever live in my heart. I also have a marriage and over 25 year relationship built on Star Wars and I've seen The Nightmare Before Christmas 109 times.

•OTPs+Ship name

I am a filthy multishipper <3

FFVII it's Cid Highwind x Vincent Valentine and I'm pretty confident I'm actually the one that got people using the Valenwind shipname waaaay back in the day.

Titanfall it's BTxJack or Jack xBlisk or if I'm feeling spicy I'll try to make all three of them work. :3

Destiny I think ya'll know but my favorites are Felwinter x Timur and/or Osiris in just about any permutation of the three, adding or subtracting a handful of wildcards for giggles, plot, or kink depending on the setting and timing. (I see you pervs choosing that Saint X Osiris X Felwinter XXX oneshot I did as my most popular fic alaksjd;fksdkf)

•Favourite colours Love deep amethyst purple, or red. or somewhere in between like a mauve.

•Favourite game

Presently Destiny 2 and/or ARK Evolution Evolved

•Weirdest habit/trait

Took me a minute but I reckon my tendency to impulsively collect bits of broken glass is probably pretty fucking weird.

•Hobbies

Obviously I write, and draw, but I also enjoy painting resin figures (I can't really call my preference for larger scale models 'minifgures' but like that). I'm a actively practicing and learning lapidary (I carve rocks) and rockhound (I go out and search for and collect rocks) and rock collector lol. I love rocks. XD I'm also big into plants and have a huge indoor houseplant collection, and a pretty robust garden, and start a lot of stuff by seed most years. Removing myself from the earth, I'm also a license pilot although I haven't flown in years due to both medical and financial restrictions. (renting an airplane is fucking expensive RIP lol) Flying isn't something I actively practice anymore but the knowledge, culture, and fascination and love of flying and airplanes is burned into my bones and I don't think it's ever going to go away. <3

•Something you're good at

I think I'm a pretty decent writer. I'd like to think I generally am pretty good at understanding people too. Like, seeing things from their perspectives and understanding their needs and wants and intentions and all that. It's what I like to write about too, fundamentally so they go hand in hand I guess.

•Something you're bad at

pffff most things. Adulting. My home is a constant mess. But I do my best.

•Something you excel at

I can't resist laughing and pointing out Microsoft Excel. I'm so autistic I actually like spreadsheets and am very good at them al;ksdjfshdfh. IDK. I think I'm getting pretty awesome at these model paintings. I don't think of myself like this.

•Something you love

Gentle rain. A good scented candle. Pretty lights. A mossy forest, the ocean, my damn cats even though one of them is bullying me right now. cozy things.

•Something you could talk about for hours without off the cuff

Truly, Destiny Lore. Character analysis and picking apart text, words used, context, setting, tracing threads. Swapping headcanons and worldbuilding based on what we already have. Conjecture. Let's ramble for the next 6 hours about why he would totally say that, or did say it, or could have because I think this lore card implies he did. I live for those meals and eat so grandly off of just...sharing the stories.

•Something you hate

I don't think this is what this question meant when someone first listed it but this is the only think rolling around in my head right now so Imma say it and you'll know some of the shadows and worries in my heart today: I fucking hate Nazis.

•Something you collect

Cobalt glass. I have a lot of vintage (and some not) cobalt things. I love that color.

•Something you forget

I always have a glass of water but 80% of the time I've forgotten it in another room. Husband teases me relentlessly. We're both very excited because I remembered to rescue it from his office tonight.

•What's your love language

Acts of service/gifts. I love writing ficlets or doing little drawings for my friends especially on request. Special little things I won't share otherwise unless you ask me to. Just for you. I am hugging you this way because I am not close enough to do it the conventional way.

•Favorite movie/show

Oh I forgot Transformers for fandoms. Transformers Prime is kind of old now but I just adored that show.

•Favorite food

Pho. 10/10 comfort food. Actually I just really love Vietnamese food in general but Pho is a gift from heaven.

•Favorite animal

Magpies

•Favorite subject in school

Yanno I'm not entirely sure because I'm struggling between my favorite teacher who taught my worst subject, art which was just fun but not challenging, English which I was GOOD at but not fun in any way, and Spanish which was engaging but too challenging to be fun.

I'm going to just go back and point at some of my aviation classes I took in college lol.

•Least favourite subject

Chemistry because we had a teacher who couldn't stay on topic and I already really struggled with the math of it.

•What's your best character trait?

I'd like to think I'm pretty open-minded usually. And generally friendly. I can be a little bit of an asshole sometimes but I'm really working on that so hopefully nobody has the opportunity to notice lol.

•If you could change any detail of your day right now, what would it be?

Well I had to go to work and I would have much rather been home all day doing creative stuff so that would have been a nice change.

•If you could travel in time, who would you like to meet?

My great-grandad who I apparently have a LOT in common with but I never really met.

•Recommend one of your favorite fanfics

Nah nah, we're not doing just ONE haha.

Please see all my husband's wonderfully lyrical Destiny fanfics but especially The Storm That Stalks featuring a look at the harder side to my favorite Stormtrancer

Besty Crafty Cooper aka @slavetomyheadcanon has some fantastic (and delightfully filthy) Overwatch and Titanfall fic as well as Destiny but PLEASE sample this entirely unexpectedly titillating experimental crackpair from a randomizer featuring Cayde-6 x Timur. Seriously trust me on this one. FPM: Cayde-6 + Timur + Shock Collar (*AO3 sign-in required. If anyone needs an invite DM me I have lots)

OK it's Timur hours apparently. @zalia wrote Subornation for me last spring and I just adore it. It's sweet and quirky and has some fantastic character insights. Then go and browse the other uhh... 145 Destiny fics in Zalia's portfolio if you haven't already because they're all bangers.

I usually don't tag people for this kind of stuff, but today I'm putting the squad on blast. @slavetomyheadcanon , @zalia , @vallaragna , @nearfromfar, @wendysketches , @heckin-sleeby & @sylenth-l if you do this kind of thing have at it.

[bittersweetresilience]

ouuu i read ur married renjing hcs and i was wondering if u had any more thoughts on what kind of interactions jing yuan would have with the stellaron hunters in a renjing type setting :o could be in canon or modern au or anything really!! just wanted to hear more about it bc the ones in ur married renjing hcs made me think about them more these days 🙂‍↕️

omg did you read all sixteen pages of it... i hope you had fun anon shy heart eyes... and i do not have any more thoughts prewritten but i do have more thoughts lurking in my brain i will jot them down for you

jing yuan and silver wolf

jing yuan may be old but he engages in internet trolling so i think he is actually fairly hip... in modern au this translates to silver wolf assuming he isn't going to get her jokes or behavior across the (minimal) generational gap and then being pleasantly surprised and dare i say even impressed when he matches her just fine

THEY GAME TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!! really excited about this because i love gaming. 😎🎮 LMFAO but yes i think jing yuan would play competitive video games with her and he is better than blade and so more of a challenge. she enjoys it. she still wins though. jing yuan is always a graceful loser

stellaron hunter plus renjing game night... eyes emoji... hhhMMMM i'll have to think more on this

silver wolf be needing a parental figure even if she won't admit it and she kind of sees jing yuan as one (jing yuan just sees her as blade's younger friend though rip) (but he is kind and takes care of everybody and brings her things she'll like)

she would wingman blade if renjing weren't already together... she approves of jing yuan and thus she ships renjing blade go get your wife so the rest of us can also keep him

jing yuan and firefly

okay i admit i have few thoughts about firefly but i did brush up on her lore for this. modern au firefly strikes me as someone whose life was decided as being on one path by her parents, but now that she's in college, she's realizing the whole world is her oyster and learning to figure out what she wants and hopping between all sorts of different hobbies and experiencing all facets of life and also having an undecided major. LMFAO

anyway in light of this i think it would be cute if jing yuan accompanied her to different events... took painting classes with her went to museums with her... maybe gave her some guidance... he is all about how life can be worth living no matter what i think they would have synergy on this

AND THEY WOULD EAT GOOD FOOD TOGETHER 👏👏👏

jing yuan and kafka

kafka is the most mysterious of this crew... i think i already said this but i don't think that she and jing yuan would get along initially. their vibes are opposing. more importantly he's sort of suspicious she's leading blade down the wrong path. however they are both mature adults they can have a conversation and come to an agreement that they want blade to figure himself out and find his own way. and i think in a pining situation kafka would absolutely be the one to give jing yuan his dose of reality regarding blade's feelings... not without a fair bit of obfuscation though 😌💄

jing yuan and kafka would drink wine together and they are BOTH classy about it

they would also go shopping together and make blade drive them AND carry all of their things AND pay for jing yuan thanks blade (kafka buys her own at least)

blade likes driving jing yuan because he loves jing yuan but driving jing yuan and kafka together is insufferable because after they become friendly acquaintances they will not stop talking they are YAPPERS

they also visit art galleries together and have extended cerebral discussions that no one else can understand and they're both the type to get so engaged in the conversation they forget about blade (jing yuan doesn't actually forget he just knows blade doesn't mind standing around silently waiting for them to finish) (doesn't mind for the first hour at least...)

jing yuan would be really good at that truth and lie game kafka and silver wolf play

in canon... i don't think jing yuan and kafka could ever get along, sorry. even if they could speak and he could understand her motivations he would never ever forgive her for treating blade as a weapon. he might reluctantly appreciate her for helping suppress his mara with spirit whisper. but he would never forgive her for it.

[choccorin]

making a very stupid decision which is not attending our year end party (long text under cut!)

it's not stupid at all ! but like ... i feel like i'll regret it ... I'M ALREADY REGRETTING IT NOW! well sort of. not really. i want to attend but also no ??? ok first, i probably won't eat most of the food there, i have afrid, plus i don't like eating in front of other people.

second, i really want to go to the art museum again. i can't go even if i don't have school because i have to take care of my siblings </3, but i technically have school during the year end party, i just won't attend it ... so i think it's okay. i mighttt lie to my parents about attending it, my mom will probably keep forcing me to go if i tell them.

third, i'm not reallllyyy friends with any of them. if i attend a party, big or small, i'd want to be with my friends. people i actually get along with and know! i don't want to feel left out. and i know that me not attending the party will make me even more left out, but i don't really like my classmates. i don't match their vibes, hobbies, or habits at all. they drink, i don't. they vape, i don't. <- two of the things that make me ick! so being close friends with them isn't a choice anymore. i want to be friends with people who i'm comfortable with!

fourth, i SUCK at party games. SERIOUSLY! i have a huge fear of embarrassing myself in front of everyone so it's better if i just don't play, right? but that loses all the fun in being at a party.

fifth, ang gastos nila! LIKE ??? i'm sorry if my poorness is speaking but 16 FOODS ?!??!? including the drinks ?!?!!? napaka-oa lang for me. mauubos ba ng lahat 'yan? tsaka ang mahal pa ata ng mga bibilhin nila ... hays, mga rich kids! i can never relate. also related to my first reason. baka mamaya may caviar na silang dala d'yan. i have a gut feeling na may magdadala ng sushi. feel ko lang ... tapos may exchange gift pa. ang ano lang, 200 pesos lang yung budget ... anong mabibili mo sa 200 pesos na exchange gift in this day and age sa pilipinas ?! parang ang taas din ng standards ng iba pagdating sa exchange gift so sure ako may lalagapas d'yan sa maximum limit.

lastly, very stupid reason, i don't have anything to wear lol. well, meron naman. pero hindi siya okay sa school policy namin ... ('di ko pa sure kung may dress rules pa rin)

okay, i know that doing this will probably make my social skills worse but i want to be alone for now. i'm so tired of having a group of friends that'll just backstab each other and break apart. it makes me feel like a child of divorce, but worse!

i also want to be more comfortable with being alone! i know that i won't always have friends beside me so i should let myself get used to it. and alsooo, i want to boost my confidence in being alone in a crowd :) i think marami nang mga tao ngayon sa museums so it's a good time to practice. also (last na), reason na mag-isa ako mag-museum is because ang tagal ko tumingin ... like i really stare at each painting, admire their details, and think about what it wants to convey ! i recently watched on how to properly look at paintings and i'm excited to try it out :3 also (last na talaga), ang hilig ko maglakad. every one of my friends complained about their legs hurting everytime we walk for long periods ... i don't want their feet to hurt because of me and to have their patience run out because i like a painting too much </3

ok that's all, if you've read this far. here's a cookie and optional milk if you're lactose intolerant like me :333 🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛🥛 and some few other snacks i guess ☕☕🍵🍵🧃🧃🍩🍩🍫🍫🍰🍰🍨🍨🍟🍟🌭🌭🍔🍔

[kanguin]

That poem hit me hard wow. Idk why I want to open up on Tumblr of all places but idk. I never share personal stuff in posts. Just oversharing in tags.

So yeah. I'm depressed. Depressed as shit. I quit my job recently because the commute, the low pay, and the high social energy cost of making 100+ phone calls a day just. Sucked the life out of me. Even my mother and fiance could see it. But this just marks burnout number... 4? I believe. I've experienced burnout and mental collapse 4 times now in the past decade. 4 years between the first two, 5 between the next two, and now just 1 year between this one and the last. And now I'm supposed to look for a job I like again, but... I don't know what I'd like. I'm not exactly enjoying life right now. And the thought of selling more of my life for money is not putting me in a good mental spot.

I don't play video games anymore. I haven't been able to do so for more than a couple weeks a year in ages. I never talk to my friends one on one anymore. I have no hobbies to speak of, really, aside from messing around on my computer, but it's not like I have the space to engage in any hobbies anyway since my broke ass still lives with my mom. I have my fiance living with me now, but while they're an emotional anchor, we have no space to our own besides the bedroom and a bonus room, but the latter is still technically a public space we can't decorate ourselves or use for painting or hobbies.

I feel stuck and miserable. I want to move out, I want my own home and space to be unbothered in, I want my own fridge and pantry with my own food, and to be able to be out of my bedroom without being on call for sudden required tasks or unwelcome socialization. I want a space to engage in hobbies; sculpting, painting, building, working with my hands. I want to be able to operate on my own schedule and not have to compromise on when is too late to start a task or eat a meal. I want to be able to start HRT in the privacy of my own home, so that I don't have to disclose my transition until I'm ready. I want... Freedom. I want to be able to live a life that feels mine, and not like I'm living in borrowed space and time.

But all of that requires money, and that just leads to a catch 22. I need money to achieve my desires, but need a job to get money. But I need a job I am happy doing so as not to burnout a 5th time, but I need to be able to enjoy life and work in the first place for that. And if I already enjoyed my life I wouldn't be in such a bad spot mentally.

I used to be so hopeful and determined for my future, but it's been 6-7 years since I graduated college with my bachelor's, and by now I've all but lost hope things will ever change. This genuinely feels like this is it, I'll be stuck here in this house until my mother dies, I get kicked out, or my heart takes me to an early grave like my father.

My next therapy appointment isn't for two weeks. I sure hope I stay on topic next time, because I only ever realized all the things I forgot to cover after the appointment. Even though I had my issues well memorized and written down.

...

If anyone actually reads this long ass ramble, I'm sorry. It's nearly 5am for me writing this.

.

..

To be honest, one of the aspects of my personality I miss the most is my love of making and keeping friends. Not that I was ever good at it, but I always enjoyed getting to know someone knew, and of course I loved learning more about my existing friends, too. There are so many people I can think of where I go "wow, I wish I had the energy to get to know them", but I can't really do that anymore in good conscience. Anyone I try and befriend nowadays is just going to get abandoned in a month or two when my overwhelming shame drive me to ghosting them.

[lunarian-anarchist]

Narc moms are so exhausting.

She needs to know everything. Everything I do, everywhere I go, everything I create, everything I eat, all of my hobbies etc.

For example I posted a photo on FB of a painting I drew years ago and she brought it up and said "I didn't know you drew that and sent it to Dan or whoever. Why didn't you ever show me?"

She didn't compliment the painting or talk about it. Just asking why I never showed her.

This seems small and harmless but she does this about EVERYTHING. If I'm eating she needs to know what I'm eating, if I'm going out I need to tell her where and when I'll be back and with who, if I create something she needs to see it, if I start a new hobby or come back to an old one she needs to do it, if I'm watching a show she needs to know what it is, if I'm playing a game she needs to know what it is.

Like G-damn leave me alone.

And if I brush it off or my answer isn't to her liking or if my tone is slightly off; she always gets upset and is in her feelings until she either lets it go or I apologize. It doesn't matter if I'm nice about it or not. Every boundary; no matter how small; is a threat to her and her sense of self.

It feels like she always expects me to entertain her because she has no life of her own (or rather she is unsatisfied with it)

[royrockstone]

Some of these ig :)

Roman + 😃 , 🐈 , 🎡 , 🎭

Kendall + 📿 , 🧡

Shiv + 🐈 , 😨 , 🌘

I hope I'm doing this right, I usually don't do these hc/ask game things but I just finished honesty and it was delicious so...

(also sorry for making you think about roman being happy)

Roman

hc + 😃 for a happiness-themed headcanon

omg this is tough... ty for apologizing bc this is a hardship...

i think roman thought of logan as the font of all happiness. i think, after logan's gone-- it's not that roman stops being able to feel happy or that the world has gone grey or whatever-- it's more that he can no longer trust the feeling of happiness, if it doesn't come from logan. i think logans death so subtly but completely unmoored him that happiness would start to feel wrong or traitorous.

hc + 🐈 for a pet/animal-themed headcanon

i mean why write a hc in a tumblr post when could've had a dog exists.

buuut i think roman probably shouldn't have a pet because he is just not responsible. BUT he would be capable of lavishing tremendous love on one periodically, if there were one in his life. i could see him being in a semi-sham relationship with a woman where neither of them is at all happy, and delaying the breakup bc she has like. a cute cat.

i can also very clearly imagine roman being incredibly emotional and irrationally angry about his pets. like he told shiv to feed his fish while he was away at military school and then he gets back and he's like "you clearly didn't feed my fish every day they look all pale and sad this is why you'll be a terrible mother"

hc + 🎡 for a hobby-themed headcanon

i think he's mostly a passive hobby person. going to the movies, etc. i think active hobbies feel embarrassingly earnest and also middle class to him. i could see an older roman having some kind of rich person conspicuous-consumption based hobby (collecting amusingly ugly but expensive paintings, maybe?)

hc + 🎭 for an arts-/crafts-themed headcanon

i think a lot about the 'roman wrote a screenplay' throwaway line, and my final judgment is that roman probably has the capability to write cleverly, but lacks all the work ethic and compassion and interest in others that would make a good screenwriter. i am also a 'roman secretly wishes caroline had put him in ballet lessons' truther. i think that's for aesthetic reasons plus the vague sadomasochism of a ballet master with a troublesome student being very gerri-esque and appealing, and i don't think roman would have ever acted on that wish.

Kendall

hc + 📿 for a faith-themed headcanon

im sure he had a TM phase, a Buddhist phase, maybe a Kabbalah phase back when that was a thing, but he also can't help but subordinate any belief he has to his larger belief in, like, The Market, and he lacks the commitment to stick to any one belief about the nature of the universe or his own spiritual practice.

he clearly believes in God, but not in any helpful or constructive way. he needs God in the sense that he needs the domineering presence of a belief in something overwhelmingly bigger than himself, which is why logan was able to be his godhead for a while. but he also clearly wants to believe that sins get punished and expunged, that he can have a clean slate and a clear conscience again, and he's yet to find any force that can really offer him that.

hc + 🧡 for a friendship-themed headcanon

kendall is the only sibling who lets people get somewhat close to him, for better or for worse, and that puts people like stewy close enough to see everything that's wrong but never close enough to help him (and maybe stewy just isn't interested enough to attempt to help anymore) when kendall tried to get stewy in bed with waystar, im sure every single one of stewy's instincts were like Do Not Do This and kendall was like "dude. name one good reason why you shouldn't be i the kenny business" and stewy was like "well you have half an eating disorder and an entire coke habit, and your rickety aging family business is held together with debt and duct tape"

(i kind of want to extend my kendall pov chapter from eat what's rotten into a full fic one day, because i like thinking about stewy's view of the roy dysfunction/the collective family ed.)

Shiv

hc + 🐈 for a pet/animal-themed headcanon

im team shiv resents mondale. i think she doesnt even like the image of having a dog-- nothing appeals to her about the christmas card with a big, handsome purebred. i think she internally sentenced herself to doing something nice for tom because she felt bad about something or other and next thing she knew they had a dog. i think shes disgusted by them being dumb, and undiscriminating, and messy. see again couldve had a dog

hc + 😨 for a fear-themed headcanon

i think shiv is mostly afraid of germs and her father. there's a lot of talk in the show that infantalizes shiv-- the pretend post office story connor tells, 'she sees monsters from piles of laundry on the floor' or whatever, 'he built you a playground and you think it's the world'. and it feels like it's just rank misogyny, and in many ways it is, but also that language suggests something that is true. shiv has a polished adult exterior, and hides it all well, but she is, as much as her brothers, still a petrified child who perpetually thinks she's in trouble with daddy. and i dont think the people around her completely see or acknowledge that, but they are dimly aware of it.

hc + 🌘 for a night-themed headcanon

insomniac shiv is very close to my heart. i like the idea that she thinks shes stronger than other people because she functions with very little sleep. like she was that person in college who was like 'ive slept five hours in the past three days and im going to a party tonight and ill have my midterm turned in before that'

i'd first like to say that my life was irreversibly changed the day that someone pointed out will has glasses in his room. so, just keep that in mind.

when / if he starts wearing glasses regularly, i'd like to think that his general fidgeting when nervous would extend to those, too. like, he pushes them up whenever he gets flustered or is trying to lie about something, and it quickly becomes one of his most obvious tells.

i think he'd be fastidious about keeping them clean, too. you will Not catch him slipping!

he has to resort to some... interesting and genius engineering when they inevitably break.

he gets into making little flipbooks out of sticky note pads. (he makes one for dustin about his dnd character and dustin ofc keeps it forever.)

el does the baking and will does the decorating. (that is, if they don't eat all the frosting first.)

people headcanon will as a night owl, but i think he'd be an early bird. i'm taking him being bright eyed and bushy tailed in 3x03 while lucas and mike are dying as my proof.

will was born a gamer, lived as a gamer, and will die as a gamer. fifty year old will is out there with hella consoles and games still playing dnd and he literally Does Not Care what anyone has to say about it. mf has multiple screens too like you cannot fuck with him you CANNOT !

i think he dips his toes into painting and sculpting and other artistic mediums, but pen/pencil/graphite/etc and paper will always be his main squeeze.

this one's sad, but i think that will gets more expressive bc he's used to being invisible. so when people Do notice his behavior he's like ??? what?? you can see me? and you actually give a fuck? huh. as if he isn't sitting there rolling his eyes and sighing and throwing himself back against the cushions and exhibiting the saddest most kicked puppy face known to man and literally bursting into tears 24/7 being as subtle as a kick to the face.

Please ignore if this isn't welcome, but if you're looking for a way to feel the harsh feelings you need to and do the thinking you need to without it eating you alive I have advice. As someone who really struggles after breakups I reccomend picking up a sewing pattern. Value Village or local thrift stores usually have a few on hand, 50s and 60s dresses are especially good t-girl clothes. Figuring out how to read a pattern and sew and unfamiliar piece of clothing takes up just enough brainpower that you end up microdosing processing between it. Chances are if you're not an experienced seamstress what you make will not be great but it'll be fun/funny to show to your friends. And, once you're done, you'll have unwound the knot from this breakup at least a little bit.

this is really nice advice. ive been trying to pick up my guitar a little more often, lose myself in video games. crocheting is on the docket for some point in the near future. so is miniature painting. i do have hobbies i just need to...... do them

So, recently I just learned Relocation Depression is a thing.

Which isn't something I would normally associate with myself because my family moved around pretty much my entire life. Maybe my parents did a good job of cushioning the blow by turning it into an adventure. Moving means a brand new bedroom I get to paint, a brand new park to play in, a brand new forest to explore, a brand new school where my bullies don't go to. Sure, my old friends wouldn't be there but I have my older brother, and he's already my best friend so its fine.

This time however I'm not feeling the old joys of being in a new place, decorating my own apartment, trying new food, and making new friends. Everyone I love is now in a different time zone so now I have to workaround when is the best time to call. I can't see them on a whim anymore, can't tell them I how weird it feels being in a different country where the culture is different, the rules are different, the people are different and you feel like an oddity for just being yourself.

Lately I just feel tired.

I've felt tired for a while but I think I've just been ignoring the signs. I have trouble convincing myself to go to bed when I'm tired, I keep jolting awake at 3am convinced I overslept, and I'm stressed out at work. I'm gonna be taking on more responsibility and its becoming very clear there are gaps in my knowledge that I need to fix before anyone finds out I'm way underqualified. My new co-workers said some pretty transphobic shit over the course of my first week. To the point I've now associated the word "mental case" with my own sense of self because that's what they believe someone like me is. A mental case.

My gender dysphoria has shot through the roof, so now I'm stress eating again which is just feeding my dysphoria even more. I'm painfully aware I don't fit into my favourite jeans anymore, my fat is hanging in the wrong places on my hips, my breasts are getting bigger, and I couldn't come out of the closet even if I wanted to because my brain won't be satisfied until I "look how I'm suppose to look". Enby folk are all beautiful skinny androgynous people with dyed hair. I don't look like that, so I avoid looking in mirrors and critique my height, high-pitched voice and the other girly parts I want to hack off with a knife.

Worse, I can't escape my own thoughts because I constantly make excuses for why I don't have the time to enjoy any of my hobbies. Can't write my original story because I have a backlog of fanfics I wanna write. Oh, can't write any of these fics because there's too many WIPs and I'm overwhelmed by choice. I wanna RP again but I have too many muses fighting for attention and the muse I want to write for needs their own blog and that's my least favourite part of the process.

Writing is overbearing, lets do something else instead.

I want to practise drawing my own characters, but I lost any skill I had as a kid and its gonna take way too long to catch up and be where I need to be...maybe I should just watch youtube tutorials instead of practising.

I wanna learn Spanish on my commute to work, oh but I always listen to audible in the car. Which one do I pick? Maybe I should just listen to music that doesn't require me to pay attention.

I downloaded a ton of games to play so maybe I can do that instead. No, I'm not a little kid anymore. I'll just feel guilty for wasting the entire day away playing video games instead of doing chores.

Maybe I could watch this series on my watch list? No, I'm not really in the mood to give this thing my full attention...maybe I should just scroll social media. That doesn't require any brain power. Social media is always there for me. It would never hurt me.

I'm sad now...Maybe I should quit social media...but what else would I do?...Wow I'm lonely. I should talk to my friends...but its been years and I'm sure they're busy...and its gonna be weird to jump out of the blue asking to pick up where we left off...is that selfish?...Wanting to rekindle a friendship because you're lonely?...That doesn't sound like something a good friend would do...I wish I was a good person...maybe I would have done a better job of making time for my friends...I miss them...I'm sorry I was a shit friend...I wish we could go back to college and start over...I promise I'll appreciate you this time around...But you're married and have different prioritise now...it sounds nice having a roommate...it sounds nice having someone to go home to...

give me the love of my life (ambiguous)

Love of your life you say? Ambiguous you say? Time to abuse that wording of yours =P

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon for the true love of your life /j:

You know about my music headcanons already, so I won't repeat myself here. I'll instead say that they love, love, love research for research's sake. Learning for learning's sake. Whenever they travel to a new place with your other love of your life, they're immediately the one trying to assemble as much information about the place as possible. They learn every single language that they come across. They go around marking interesting stuff to research in their free time. Their idea of time spent well is to hide in their room, possibly with Grimm, and just. Read. Write things down. Train in languages. Him being so close by while simultaneously focused on something of his own is their vision of a perfect day, add in rain drumming on the tent and you have them absolutely, utterly content.

♦ - quirks/hobbies headcanon for the other love of your life =P

So, to continue the train of thought: Grimm likes to draw. A lot. And he's not really secretive about it, but he loves it most when Hollow's simply somewhere nearby and focused on their own thing. He also adds them into almost every painting of his, and it's a game with the two with Hollow searching where and how he'd depicted them this time around. He's also very into "technical" stuff. Not the correct word. Bear with me. He loves precise calculations and spellweaving - that is a shared hobby with Hollow as well, though he sometimes chooses to shut himself away from the world entirely and just FOCUS on the thing that he's doing. It isn't as "light" of a time spent as drawing.

♒ - cooking/food headcanon for Hollow:

They like trying to cook, because it's interesting for them - but damn, are they awful at it. They still have a ton of fun with it, though dsfgdsf They don't really have a favourite food, but they like spicy a lot. It takes a lot of spice to get them as well, since. Void and stuff. (Also, their favourite tea flavour is Assam black tea for Dreamsverse and non-descript white tea for Shatterverse, since I can't find into which of the five types the one i'm thinking falls.)

♒ - cooking/food headcanon for your blorbo supreme:

He's good at cooking. Like. He's godtier at cooking and at mixing beverages too. He loves experimenting with stuff, which is not always welcomed by Hollow, since they're a fairly "there are three comfort foods that I like and I don't need to eat in the first place" person. He's also into spice. He doesn't like some of Hollow's favourite things as well - for example, cilantro. (Favourite tea is rooibos, heheheh. He also loves very strong black teas, though.)

🍕🎹🌂❤️ for the first oc you can think of

You get two of them (Amaya and Virgil)

🍕- What is their favorite food? Amaya is a fan of chocolate, mochi, and ice cream- things that are sweet, but don't taste A Lot. Virgil will eat anything you give him and tell him he can/should eat. Edibility is next to irrelevant. That being said he likes foods that are super super high in vitamins and minerals and stuff

🎹 - Do they have any hobbies? Amaya reads a lot and writes records of things. She also has a Reddit account. Idk where that one came from but she feels like a Reddit lurker. Virgil likes to sing and dance. He's a people pleaser who loves to make a show of himself for attention, but he does genuinely enjoy singing, dancing, and painting, and after giving up his performance as his only reason to be worth anything, he continues to do those for himself. He also plays solitaire a lot. It's the only card game he knows. He's not very good at any others.

🌂 - What genre do they belong in? They're definitely both horror/thriller type characters. They're very fit for Danganronpa, since they're originally DR OCs but I'm moving them around since Amaya fit into another narrative I was writing less so than my fangan and if I put Virgil in my fangan I'd have to kill him. They're fit for a specific tone and theme that I'm trying to capture in Spiral (and failing). I've been thinking about putting Virgil in Freaks but I think Freaks is like. I mean Freaks is 100% self indulgent it's just abt a bunch of kids finding their home in a weird haunted house. I mean it fits Virgil but I feel like it's. too kind for him??? Virgil's cruelty is justified by the brutality of the world until it isn't anymore and he has to give up trying to survive and survive as a performer at his own and everyone's expense.

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories? Amaya's best memory is probably meeting Sayren, her kinda-girlfriend. Virgil's best memory is. difficult. I don't know if he really has any that would be considered "best" because 90% of his life he's been in a horrible mental and emotional spiral and the thing that snapped him out of that was a killing game. I'd probably say choosing his own name- Virgil Leitzel Wagnon.

speaking of which Amaya and Virgil were created for the same RP where I played them both at the same time and it feels SO weird trying to separate them. Even tho I wanna do more with them both aside from just class 42 it's. That's their people!! That's them!! yk

A little bit about myself:

I'm Hispanic (from Puerto Rico🇵🇷). English isn't my first language so bare with me please!!!! I'm currently living in USA for college.

What is my account for:

My account would be a little more for OM creators who are out of ideas. I am really creative but not creative enough to make a story myself. So that's why I want to help them! If you are an obey me creator that is out of ideas or just never had ideas in the first place feel free to ask me to give you an idea! It doesn't matter how big or small your account is just ask and you shall receive. If you want a more custumized idea just tell me. Let me know if you want a specific character (ex.Thirteen,Diavolo,Mammon) or a specific type of story/prompt (ex.smut, fluff, angst) Also if you believe a character is transgender like I've seen other people say in stories that's fine just let me know so I can help you. I also plan on learning about characters in other games some day so I'll be able to help you with that but just not at the moment.

How it works:

So just tell me "I want a (type of story of ur choice) story of (character of your choice" and I'll either give you a little paragraph of what you want so you can make that into a story or I'll give you a sentence like "(character of choice) is in the classroom when MC (or Y/N I doesn't matter) sends a spicy picture" just stuff like that

Feel free to ask questions whether it is about myself or about my account. Thanks for reading! Also if you wanna be moots let me know!!!

[eldritch-nightmare]

Hello! I go by 🎀 anon! I’d like to do a match up, if that’s okay! I’m a latino afab and genderfluid (they/them) in my 20s! 5’4 height, medium length dark brown hair with a shaggy mullet type of haircut (hoping to at least have magenta highlights if work allows it </3), brown eyes, mid-sized body type, a INFP MBTI type, and my star sign is a Taurus. Also am autistic and have ADHD! I’m a pan disaster but fictionally I lean towards male characters! 🤣

I LOVE art and animation! I do digital art as a hobby and hope to sell as a side job some day! I have a special interest for horror, especially indie horror gaming! I also love trying different culture foods, even if I’m biased in my puerto rican roots. I always make effort to seek other cultural meals and learn how to eat them properly and know it’s history because… I love food and making food. 🫡 Speaking of! My love language is making someone meals, buying them gifts and making them art! <3

Ah, not sure if it matters, but I wear a lot of cutesy pastel pink clothes (bonus if they’re strawberry themed) as well as very goth and punk clothing depending on my mood! Which is always funny whenever I wear very gothic outfits, people look so shocked when they see my room LMAO. I love a variety of music including nu metal, goth rock, game soundtracks, chill lo-fi sounding music (Like the kind you hear in Bee and Puppycat! Which is actually my comfort show…). It fluctuates depending the mood LOL. (It’s… quite a mix.) While I’m introverted, I do like going out and interacting with others when having the energy to do so! I tend to ramble a lot though and always fear to seem annoying, then regret later for going on for too long so expect a lot of apologizing for that. 😭

Kinda like now actually LOL, apologies if this is too long! Not sure how much to put in, but hope you have a good day! Take your time to answer, no rush! Appreciate it, thank you! qvq

can i just say you sound so cool?? like?? hello?? your taste in music is literally superb?? but don't worry, this wasn't too long, so no need to apologize <3 i hope your work allows you to get magenta highlights!!

your matchup is... the bloody painter! and it's not because of the art thing, trust me on this okay, just hear me out for a moment. while, yes, you and helen both enjoy art, helen is also really big on horror and the whole goth subculture. while he doesn't dress the part, you will catch him listening to the music and digesting both the art and literature. so. trust me.

helen is pretty reserved and not one to let people close to him but once you break the ice and get past his apathetic exterior, you'll find that he's actually pretty... i wouldn't say he's open once you get to know him, but it's fairly obvious that he'll become less reserved around you, and he'll actually show that he cares about you. does that make sense?

moving on, helen doesn't give food a lot of thought, to be honest. he likes what he likes, and he hates what he hates. he would be a terrible food critic. he does, however, know and understand that cooking is an art, and he has nothing but respect for you and your talents and is 100% willing to be a taste tester for you if you ever need one. he quite enjoys your cooking, if we're being honest, and you have introduced him to a wide variety of different foods from different cultures and he just... loves seeing you enjoy yourself.

now going on to art, because this is helen and it's unavoidable. helen is more of a traditional artist, so digital art isn't his area of expertise, but he would absolutely love to see any and all of your drawings. you two could even draw together! and he has like numerous sketchbooks just full to the brim of sketches and fully-fledged out pieces if you ever want to see them. he loves sharing his own art as well. and, if you give him permission, he'll probably incorporate you into his art. he'll sketch you or add you into the background of one of his paintings. art is his love language, and he would love to involve you in it.

helen doesn't give gifts often, mostly because it's not something that crosses his mind, but sometimes he'll be out and about, and he'll see something. something strawberry-themed or an accessory that would look good with your goth or punk clothing. and, of course, the only natural thing to do is to buy it and gift it to you. so, every once in a while, he'll just hand you a random gift with no real explanation other than a shrug or 'i saw it and thought about you.'

and if you start rambling to him about a certain topic that has caught your interest, or about your day-to-day life in general, helen will silently listen to you. he likes listening to you ramble, especially when he's mindlessly sketching something. and should you apologize for rambling too much, he'll just momentarily meet your gaze and say, 'don't apologize. i like the sound of your voice.' before directing his attention back to whatever he was sketching.

any and all information you give him about the things you like and dislike will be neatly tucked away into a corner of his mind. he's the type to remember everything you tell him, even the minor things. you're a very important part of his life, and he does everything he can to make sure you know that.
