THANK YOU! repeating to myself that at least i have it here, at least i've got you and other fuckingloving mutuals who remind me that i am seen(and what i dont need a reminder for and thats smiling when seeing you all post), at least on here, online. and its all happened this year, and i do feel hugged whenever i open the notifs, and i just feel so happy, regardless, when i see you on my dash and then i open your blog and its the coziest thing ever. thank you for reminding me im not a ghost<3 AND ALSO OF MY FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, what would i do if i didnt put them in fake scenarios in my head? truly would be a waste of spending time if some of it wasnt given to creations of other's minds

dash!!! 🥺🥰

I know we started interacting just recently, but I'm rooting for you, lovely! I have had a lot of experience with friends not putting as much effort in friendships as you are, and it does really drain you. I'm still recovering myself from losing pretty much all of them from the last school year, save for one or two, so I really do understand the effects it can have on you.

But I want you to know that - yeah, I am about to be the most corny, cliché, cheesesiest person - no matter what, you are deserving. Sometimes, people go through different phases, and it doesn't mean that friendships are ending, but maybe they are going to slow down a bit. And that's okay!! Because you're still you. You have your company, and she has so many delightful interests and is honestly a wonderful to be around.

Anyways, I know you didn't ask for my two cents or anything, but you're very important, and at the very, very, very least.... there are fictional characters 💛💛💛

#fear not dear!#the horrors persist but so do you #anyways let's share some orange slices. get you some water. maybe go walking in park together 😊#asks #dash 💖

Remember: The burning sensation is part of the process.

#Mouthwashing #blood #body horror #Emphasizing here that this is in reference to a media and character and not a cry for help on my end.#Mouthwashing is one of those games that tickles my brain and checks all the boxes for my niche interests -#-but it wasn't something that got the silly comic part in my cortex firing up. My analysis brain is eating well though!#What said...It is impossible for me to see this scene and not say out loud: “Me in the middle of my work day".#While there is a lot more going on with curly I personally resonated a lot with his struggles with burnout.#Burnout feels like mouthwash to me. That you keep rinsing out your mouth trying to get rid of the rotting smell #but it's just surface level solutions. The real cure requires something far more significant to actually make a difference.#The job 'is hard' and 'everyone struggles'. It's part of the process right? You're tired? Anxious? Depressed? Us too! Chin up!#Actually I resonated with a lot of things within Curly (this is a curly positive space - he's not perfect. He's just human).#One thing being his desire to see the good in people and believe in their potential.#Because here's the thing. Some people truly do just need someone in their corner who stands by them so they can grow and improve.#And some people will take advantage of your kindness. You focus so much on their humanity while you stop being a person to them.#The horrifically toxic relationship persists because Curly tries to see the bigger picture and believes in the good within.#Anyone who has lived through constantly trying to reframe the hurt as something else knows-#-just how many excuses your brain will make to avoid cognitive dissonance. It's human psychology.#Jimmy sucks so bad. But we the audience have the privilege of not having years of baggage associating him in our minds as 'friend'.

Meditations on the Grab Attack

There are a few things of which Soulsborne players live in deep fear. At the top of the list is the grab attack. The enemy is invulnerable during the entire attack animation, most cannot be escaped from, and many will one-shot the victim. So whether it's you or someone you're co-oping with that's been grabbed, you're faced with a long and solemn 10 seconds of utter helplessness.

Players choose to use those 10 seconds in different ways. Maybe this is the first time you've been grabbed, and you can do nothing but stare at the screen in utter shock as your health bar depletes. Maybe it's the tenth, and you recognize it as a small break for your overworked hands. Or maybe this is the thousandth and you choose to use this mournful window to reflect on your life choices.

Why did you knowingly put yourself in this position? What mistake did you make that brought you here? Why do you still persist in pursuing agony after agony, horror after horror?

youtube

Next time the horrors happen to you, don't let the grab attack beat you down. Instead, take advantage of your elevated position to look down at the horrors, reflect, and say, "Thank you for this kind opportunity to meditate and grow." Breathe as Y O U D I E D fills your screen. And then come back five minutes later to dance with the horrors all over again.

Random doodles, a rare Richter moment too lol

Explanations and such:

Simon gaming and Richter is watching :). The text says “(Richter) Whatcha playin :3”, “(Simon) FUCK”, “(he got a Safe in Project Diva)”, “(Richter) Oh, I see.”. He was playing the song Gothic and Loneliness btw. On one of the harder modes. Almost perfected it 😔.

The top doodle is just Simon with sharp teeth, idk maybe they’re like left over from the curse or something lol. Bottom drawing is an attempt at drawing their Smash Bros outfits by memory since I haven’t in a long time.

Slime scooping videos will be the death of me I keep getting stuck watching like a ton of them and I don’t even know why 💀💀💀. So I drew Simon doing that cause uh yeah XD.

Text says “both overwhelmed”. Just imagine this is both of them after some long social event lol.

Rare Richter section of a page! It’s also a Mesmerizer reference 💀💀💀. I was gonna draw Alucard to compliment this, but I completely forgot and had already put other things on the page next to it so eeeehhhh. Richter’s hair is very fun, but I draw it differently every time. Then again I feel like it’s probably a texture where it kinda curls at a certain length and goes everywhere, so it works. I like to think that he’d always had it short enough that it didn’t curl before SotN and was surprised lol.

Yay drawing characters you like doing things you do part 2, Simon is drawing :3. He’d probably draw like some of the most violent and concerning but technically impressive imagery and then follow that up immediately with a page of cute animals and some character (idk I’ve already made him play Project Diva in this post let’s say Rin or Miku as an example lmao)

Text says “love this guy, the Richard”. Haha yeah, the Richer, Mr Richter Scale Belmont.

Random doodle of Simon wearing clothes cause I was listening to music and got the vibes. I don’t remember what song tho unfortunately (TwT).

#castlevania #castlevania games #simon belmont #richter belmont #akumajo dracula #akumajou dracula #art post #my art #silly doodles #yippie! the guys! they’re chilling!#truly a refreshing experience to draw two traumatized tough guys just doing mundane activities #in their lane; flourishing; not being attacked by some creature or ravaged by the curse/possession #it’s like its own flavor of calm #anyway forcing my blorbos to share interests with me—#80s barbarian you will play the anime robot music game 🫵#90s anime boy turned biishi you will get in the recent anime robot music trend outfit 🫵🫵🫵#and also shout out to being able to take these guys from different time periods and make them friends now #Richter 🤝 Simon (the horrors)#but look!!! they stayed silly!!! the horrors persisted but so do they!!!#I am taking them out of their vaguely sad inconclusive endings and making them happy right now—#Richter would probably play Rocket League on his Switch tbh

i keep thinking there are people on here i would love to like. add on discord and actually talk to more. but then i think to myself well i should wait until i can get my meds so im actually feeling better and more up to being social. but at this point that's not happening for another few weeks at the least so uugghghghghhh.

#this is also slightly compounded by this being a sideblog like jskdjs i sure hope people know das me #but. ugh. yeah #debating if id want to make a server in which to lowkey hang out in a group setting or something.#or if i should just keep sitting here with sad wet pathetic beast eyes yearning for the days when i had the energy to talk to people more #like part of me wants to be like so mutuals if we've talked ever and you don't mind me being exhausted and often late to respond...!#bc i DO want to talk to friends and interact and be social. however the horrors (chronic illness) persist #SIGHS. anyway that's what's going on here re me being slow to answer messages and things on occasion + not always participating in stuff #probably tbd? just complaining at this point im a tired little man
