Viva x Barb angsty headcanons

(because im sensitive and stupid)

Barb

She's VERY insecure about struggling with relationships, but never really shows it. (looking at the movie scenes where she says that her kingdom tells her only what she wants to hear and how upset she is about poppy's card) All her heart really needed were friends and love, but she put too much pressure on herself.

Easily gets jealous over Viva, because of her abondment issues. She still feels like a pop troll could not love a hard rock one, especially knowing her conflicting past. This starts most of their fights, as Barb can just be TOO MUCH with that.

Insanely pressured about her role as a queen. She's scared of becoming what she used to be, no matter how much time has passed.

Struggles to control her emotions, especially anxiety and anger. That sets a specific picture of her to some, with only her closest ones knowing the real Barb, and only Viva understanding and supporting her through it. It even seems like her soft spot exists only because of Viva.

Used to be deeply depressed (before the events of World Tour) Thinking that "reuniting trolls" with her music is the only solution to her personal emptiness and pain. Not knowing yet, that the event that's actually going to change her is meeting a specific curly haired troll. (but hard rock was probably involved in that event, let's be honest)

Viva

Is deeply traumatized after the bergen attack and how she got seperated from most trolls. She falls into PTSD episodes in which her colors fade away and she leds Clay to cover her work.

Just after they started to form their mini-civilisation, she was still completely disturbed and turned to auto-agression as a coping mechanism, leaving scars on her body.

She's still frightened by bergens, trying to start a bond with Bridget, but the rest... Poppy still has to convince her to them, as Viva prefers to not visit them, if not necessery.

Feels VERY lost in Trollstopia. Not like it's a bad place, but it's so overwhelmingly different to her, that she feels like she has missed too much to normally function there.

Easily falls into panic and anxiety attacks as she's a really stressful troll. She still struggles to take part in bigger social events among unknown trolls. But Barb goes EVERYWHERE with her to support Viva, as well as giving her little motivational speeches before it.

Probably gonna write more some other time but now i'm really tired and i just have to let my imagination live here😭😭 AND ALSO I DONT WANNA GET TOO SAD ABOUT THEM MY BABIES DESERVE A HAPPY LIFE (which only means that i will make more post yapping about them)

@whereiscarmensa

This is a reply (thank you!) to last week's headcanon about how Sam probably attended kindergarten with Dean because they couldn't be seperated at the time.

So, let's expand on this. When Dean enters first grade, Sam is around 2 and half. John knows that he should stop this seperation anxiety before it gets to be too much. BUT he doesn't know how. The whole summer before Dean's first grade, he's tried seperating the boys. He fails miserably. He tries to use the promise of games or sweets to get Dean away, to go play out, but Dean refuses to go without Sammy. Next, John forcibly makes Dean leave (he has him run an errand to the grocery store) and Sam won't listen to him. He will start throwing anything he can reach at John and crying "dee" "dee". A concerned neighbour knocks at the door and John has to lie and say that Sam's mother was out on an errand to get the nosy old lady off his case. And Sam, the little rascal, goes back to bubbly laughs as soon as Dean enters the room. Like he hadn't been screaming his lungs out five minutes ago.

John eventually forges a psychiatrist's paper about Sam having severe seperation anxiety and he's allowed to go to elementary school with Dean. The teachers didn't really like it. They expected a baby in class would make a big mess and a lot of noise. But Sam was an angel. He never left his brother's lap and he just watched the teacher with more attention than Dean did. He was a dear all things considered. P.E. was going to be a problem though, the teachers thought. Dean would have to put Sam down. But Dean surprised them this time. He didn't let Sam down at the bench. Instead, he used that thing they use to carry babies around and he did the whole P.E. lesson with Sammy strapped on him.

The teachers don't even know what to do at this point. They do find it unhealthy, however. So they try to seperate them once. Just once though. Because Sam cried so loud and started hitting everyone who touched him for the 5 minutes Dean was gone (because the teacher sent him to her office to grab something and insisted on Sam staying back). Sam didn't stop crying until Dean was back in his sight and the teachers didn't try again.

Sam only stops attending Dean's classes when it's his time to go to kindergarten. It's a bit scary being away from Dean but he's so used to the concept of a class by now that the environment is safe enough for him to relax. Dean has more trouble getting used to Sam not being in his lap. He has a hard time concentrating in class, his mind always trailing off to his baby brother.

I think I wrote enough 😂😅 I want to say that this would be really weird but I think these two have done weirder things in their lives so *shrugs*

Now, send me more mommy Dean please! Both replies and asks are fine! Just send me more! We need to fill the mommy dean monday tag! It's essential for my survival!

love languages | simon "ghost" riley x gn!reader + könig x gn!reader

💭 . . . first time writing for these pookie bears | wc. 561

synopsis: what is ghost and könig's live languages and how do they express them?

before you read: fluff, maybe angst???, seperate, not proofread or beta'd, listening to the entire ultraviolence album as i write this | warnings: mention of ghost's backstory (sa)

ghost

words of affirmation

this is most likely one of Ghost's bigger love languages but specifically when it's farther into the relationship if that makes sense ?? like after the "i love yous" and stuff simply bc he doesnt want to rush himself or you. he's also slow with relationships in general so... however, over text he is very passionate and literally floods your texts with compliments !!!!! he wants u to know you're the only one for him and stuff, even if he can't vocalize this all the time

physical touch

physical touch is one of those love languages that he barely expresses, he warms up to it as time goes on but w his trauma he has a hard time with physical touch esp in early months of ur relationship. however. after you gain most of his trust, hugs are a daily occurrence! however this one is very important to him since he never knows if he'll come back alive and if he's gonna die he wants to die remembering how your hands felt wrapped around him or something idk???

receiving gifts

he feels bad for his lack of physical affection, so he will buy you any gift you want and not expect anything in return :( these gifts range from lil trinkets he found while deployed and reallyyyy expensive jewelry you looked at a second time :(

quality time

his second favorite love languages bc it could range from sitting with him in silence, to going to a shoppe, to spending a couple hours binging on your favorite show

acts of service

most common since he feels like doing things for you makes up for all the things he feels he cannot do for you. like being there for you all the time. he's always deployed so he feels like he simply needs to do things for you with the time he can to make you stay (i worded this weirdly)

könig

words of affirmation

okok! social anxiety, i have it, and i understand that it affects everybody differently. but i feel that he is good with compliments/words of affirmation however he words them in a very odd way?? he's the type of guy to say "you have a round head" or something, but mean it in a nice way. HOWEVER he calls you the cutest pet names in german, "liebling" "maus" "mein kleiner pookie wookie bär"

physical touch

absolutely adores physical touch!!! esp if ur shorter since he likes looking all tall and strong with his lil partner clinging onto him likeee ?? he is a bit awkward at first since he isn't really a softie but eventually he becomes a big cuddly bear lmfao

receiving gifts

he really likes to receive gifts from you (not that he doesn't give you gifts, he's a literal colonel he makes enough money to buy you a diamond ring) but he love love loves little homemade gifts. like a little card with little doodles and a little message (even happier if there's german if u don't know german!!)

quality time

i think he enjoys private quality time the most, just in the house together and watching movies or playing games. he has social anxiety so he probably doesn't like leaving that much. especially not when he feels as if all eyes are on him the second he enters a room, esp w his height and his mask :(

acts of service

he'll grab anything you can't reach 😪 but yea acts of service type of guyyy

reblogs and replies always appreciated ty <3

Here’s some babian headcanons to quell my anxiety. Bart girlies scroll on but be warned they’ll probably be tons of baby Bart stuff tomorrow as I cope with whatever my exam score is-

This is in no particular order I’m just vibing.

Very obviously babian is extremely attached to dick. He needs to be around dick constantly and if he has to be away from his bro for too long there will definitely be crying/a meltdown/ damian probably trying to fight and or sway anyone who tries to pry him away from dick. Dick finds it sweet, funny, and a little worrying all at once. But no one wants to deal with an enraged baby with the worst stink eye imaginable so everyone just tries to prevent them from being seperated. It’s just easier that way

Damian sort of enjoys being around everyone else. He’ll deal with Bruce. No real reaction either way with Jason, Steph, duke, cass. Alfred and Talia get more love than the others but not as much as dick. Tim is……Tolerated. It would probably depend on Damian’s mood . Which, likely is easy to agitate

Bat glare and bat pout are hard to resist!!!

Batfam would get him only the most precious stupid little outfits usually Nightwing/Batman/Robin themed but also maybe lord of animal ones too like cats!! Alfred would probably try to get babian in one of those dumb little baby suits that have no real purpose besides looking cute. They take a photo of it and it’s just hung on the fridge!

If dick goes in one direction and puts damian down for a moment damian will follow. Limited movement be damned that little guy will go as fast as he can so he can make himself known to dick again and/or attach himself to his leg with as much dexterity as possible . So not much but he’s trying

The idea of Bruce taking damain with him to some sort of meeting is also very funny and super cute. Just Bruce sitting in a meeting room surrounded by people with papers and tablets talking about finances and business garbage while there is a little baby in Bruce’s arms (the little suit comes in handy) who is just Glaring at people. He is the boss. The boss baby

Damian would lose it at the zoo. Dick has no restraint and cannot say no so they leave the gift shop with one of those impractical giant lion plushes that is like lifesized and Damian insists on sleeping with it .

Dick n Dami sleep together a lot !!! Most of the time dick will just do whatever tasks he’s doing to bide time and just lets Dami hang with him since it’s harmless.

Ugh just the family going on stupid trips with babian…..

Talia visits or more like sneaks in to just hang out with her baby boy!!! Gives him a (plush) sword since he can’t have his actual sword. Probably sings to him.

Tim gets kicked in the face by babian whenever the unfortunate situation ensues in Tim having to watch or take care of him for some time. Damian chooses violence!

Anyway these are all over the place I’m exhausted and very baby fever-y have a nice night

[kikosaurscave]

getting high with neteyam:

-unproffesionly use of weed

-kinda heated kissing

-remember that theyre young , high asf teens

-theres a part 3 bc i had a sudden gooder idea thats more age wise friendly

"cmon its not that far away" you whisper to the groaning boy who rubs his eyes, "y/n why in the middle of eclipse? can this not wait ?"

the look you gave him let him know your lack of patience. you js wanna get high ASAP

he walks closely next to you hand in hand to not seperate as you let the soft vibrance of the plants around you guide your way to what you craved the most for in the past 16 hours.

his fingers caress yours while you happily tell him about your current obsession "this plant , it is amazing ! and all we did was burn it ! you should have seen tsahik, talking to the walls of the peoples lab" you let out a laugh that he knows he adores. he could listen to you ramble about anything because he loves your voice

"i hope this is worth it" he grumbles to you, you rolls you eyes , excitement creeping up on you when you spot the enchanting plant of .pot

you tell him to gather the buds of the plants while you find a hooded area covered by the large bright leaves and glowing mushrooms and fruit , the spot big enough for about 5 of you to just chill out in and get smoke weed

you made the fire and by the time its lit neteyam reckons hes gathered enough , he thinks its been long enough seperated meters away from you but he js wants your presence

"throw some in nete , not to much" you smile up at him before watching as the glowing green buds spark in the orange heat , he watchesthe way the fire reflects in your __ eyes , the smoke isnt enough to distract him it just makes him want to focus on you more , just you

"it looks..cool. now what happens?" his honest confusion humors you, "come sit"

10 MINUTES IS HOW LONG IT TAKES FOR THE AREA TO FILL WITH THE FOG BEFORE YOU TWO CRAWL OUT FOR BETTER AIR

he cant tell if his laugh is louder in his head or if its just him , are you quiet ? or can you also see that bug on the tip of that leaf ?

hes def feeling it and its honestly amazing.

while yous r tripping you js keep telling eachother stories that you arent even sure are your own memories or not

you get anxieties when he goes quiet, you hear his harsh breaths from right beside you , his tail drags along yours and when you turn his way , its js immediate intense eye contact, this guy is tripping hard out.

"are you okay ?" you ask him, the worried look in your eyes js makes him fold, he moves a piece of your braided hair out of your face , tilting his head abit

staring into eachothers eyes while high js catches you both in a trance, to him your eyes glow in the different shades of the vibrant colours running around you both. the yellow coat of his irises could taint your view of all the different colours that surround pandora , there would be nothing as bright or as gorgeous as his eyes when the colour melts with yours.

"i want to kiss you" the statement is barely heard over the loud songs that the trees around you hum out , your curt nod has his hand holdinh the side of your head bringing you closer to him the other gently folding into yourown hand

the kiss is sloppy, full of feelings and passion, when you lean in and his arm moves to pull you closer, neither of you can get enough of the touch, you pull away for air but to him he js needs to feel you , suddenly your presence isnt enough like this is so rude to him js merge skins with him already- but hes gentle widit

he'll pull you closer while you both breathe heavily and he'll gently rub his hands up nd down ur back. hes never done this before, felt this before but a look into your eyes and the worry of being uncomfortable js disappears.

hands resting on either side of his face, you on his lap and his arms around your waist, both of you high as fuck

"lets go ride our ikran to ayram alusìng (floating mountains)"

youd race eachother there and suddenly you both feel like youre quieter than you really are, the day is soon and flying your ikran together feels like a dream, your body tingles as the air rushes over you body , you can both feel your smiles with your whole faces , atp you dont even bother tryna to be quiet when you return , neteyam is just a mess at this point and you wonder how he'll be able to continue his training today

unfortunately for you when you return to your tent your brother sits in front of the balazing fire, waiting for who knows how long

"tsmuke (sister) where were you ?"

is the first thing he askes you, he doesnt even ask if ur alright bro

"no where" "who were you with." "eylan (a friend) "how many? " "awpo (one individual)" "eve? evan? (girl? boy?)" "tute (a person)" "tupe. (who.)"

his voice is stern , the reflection of the fire in his eyes intimidate you , when he turns to look at you , you end up feeling cornered

"neteyam"

youre grounded from seeing him for until tsu'tey says so , you beg him to not tell toruk makto and he feels bad , the look his little sister gives him makes him feel like the worst person in the world so even though its unlike him to do so , he gives in and promises not to say anything

it wont matter in about a week though because the sky people are on hunt for the sullys , you wouldnt be able to see him for a while and it scares you

- end

ending is shit bc i kinda rushed the ending but it took longer than expected to write this , part 3 is coming

somewhat proofread

lmk what you think

[kingmagnificoofrosas]

I was thinking... A few years ago Disney made a loose adaptation of The Hunchback of Notre Dame and there was Judge Frollo, who was the main villain who burned the city and killed a lot of people. And now Disney has released Wish and is trying to convince me that Magnifico is really a "villain"... Considering that ALL Disney villains died due to their own carelessness, but Magnifico was simply locked away....What do you think about this? I think it's a strong contrast, although death does not befall the new "villains".

Hi @inanelemon

Well, it all leads back to the fact, that Magnifico simply isn't a villain. No matter how much disney and the anti-Magnifico's aim to claim he is. If the mind is stone set on something, one will find proof where there is none and twist facts to suit the own opinion/viewpoint.

Much in contrast to literally every single Magnifico defender out there, who isn't influenced by his physical beauty, but open mindedly and carefully examined the entire situation to come to a realistic conclution. And 90% (safe to say) understand the importance of the role that ptsd plays in his situation.

Magnifico feels so absurdly out of place in comparison to Frollo, Gaston, Scar etc. Because he is nowhere near the same. Yes, he went slightly beserk after the curse but that is exactly the point. The curse. The demonic entity that was clearly trapped in the book.

I mean, you really wanna tell me this is the same guy? The guy who build a place solely so people could be safe and sound from harm, because he lost everything as a child and would rather die and curse himself before seeing his past repeat and people die and get hurt?? That guy?

And suddenly that guy does a 180° goes against everything he ever stood for and is like "Worship me or I'll destroy and hurt ya'll"

🤨 Are you for real? Come on!

This 👇🏼 screams demon in every way possible to me!

The fact that Magnifico was blinded by his trauma caused anxiety, and because of it didn't always make the right decissions, or snapped more easily than a non traumatized person, is a whole seperate topic and has literally NO business in painting the guy a villain.

Now, a murderer who is psychologically sick/traumatized, is still a murder. If we go the hard reality route. However, Magnifico isn't a murder or a monster. Him wanting harm and destruction on others is the complete opposite of everything he is and stood for. - Even more proof that he was literally posessed by evil, cause it made him act in a way he never would have on his own. It contradicted him so painfully!

If we take a look at all the classic disney villains, even those with a twist (meaning those who only pretended to be nice) we always new from the beginning they were the bad guy. They are all driven by their evil goals, have 0 compassion, 0 remorse and would quite literally walk over dead bodies to get what they want. They do not care about anyone else but themselves. They do not worry for anyone else.

Those folks who go around saying, Magnifico is a power hungry narcissist who only cares for himself and only created Rosas and the wish system so he could control others to feed his sick evil desire to be in charge and swelter in power has for one not watched the movie right, has not understood a single thing, and or has such a narrowed mind that they did not even care for the details.

But yeah, believing an impulsive teenager is so much better ... 😐

So, when Magnifico carefully selects wishes to be granted with the motive to only do what's best and safe, he's an evil monster. But when Asha is in charge of the very same duty it's ok??

And yeah, that's what the end of the movie hinted at. Now she has magic and she now decides what wishes to grant or not grant.

So basically:

Magnifico "I decide-" BE GONE SATAN!

Asha "I decide-" 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 YAAAS! SLAY GIRL!!! OUR PERFECT ANGEL!!!

Yeah, cause she is perfectly wise and capable as a 17 year old. And she is SO perfect and not at all flawed cause - hmmm plot armor?? 😑

It still blows my mind how haters will bend backwards to proof Magnifico is the most horrible despicable rotten monster disney has offered us in decades, throwing insults at us defenders and painting us horrible disgusting human beings for even doing as much as seeing him the good guy???

Now, is Mags a classic hero? No. Is he a classic villain? HECK NO! Is he a flawed, deeply traumatized protagonist who occationally made wrong decissions and mistakes but originally only meant well and is essentially a good guy? YES!

Magnifico is in all points a victim. He's suffered greatly in his past, experienced horrors no one should experience, tried his best to find a solution, always meant well but in the end fell victim to a grave mistake because of his scarred soul. That mistake was getting himself cursed and posessed.

Here is a nice ask right back 💜🩷

What culture shock and antics would the 126 get into if they visited Australia?

(I will answer yours later probably when I am not doing what I'm supposed to do on my prep time at work again haha)

thank you so much for the return nice ask! 💕

this is a really fun one, i think they'd be on seperate trips not all at once, so they'd have different culture shocks and experiences. i have deffs overthought all of this, but it was fun. there's some new fic ideas brewing now.

so tk & carlos are on a vacation to celebrate their anniversary, tk has always wanted to see the great barrier reef.

owen is on a vacation because tk raved about the australian beaches so much, mateo tags along with owen.

grace, judd & charlie are in victoria visiting grace's sisters who are in aus for their music and doing a trip along the great ocean road.

tommy and the girls go on a trip to australia zoo because while tommy was sick she realised life is too short and she's always wanted to see a koala in real life, so once she's better, she pulls the girls out of school to spend two weeks in australia. they also visit uluru and learn about aboriginal culture and bush tucker.

paul and asha go on their honeymoon.

marjan and nancy are chosen to go to a global conference in perth about leadership for female first responders, to represent the AFD.

as for their antics and culture shocks:

for tk, I think he would somehow end up rescuing an animal, maybe an orphan wombat joey and trying to convince carlos that he can raise it fine and they don’t need to call WIRES (a wildlife carer organisation), carlos calls anyway. as for carlos, who we know is not a great traveller, I think he'd struggle with how even the familiar stuff, like american chain stores/fast food places, and basic foods like bread are different in Australia, but he'd find how laid back it is, even in touristy areas really relaxing for his anxiety.

I think judd would be surprised by how different and challenging he finds it to drive on the opposite side of the road. at first he assumes it'll be easy, he's a really competent driver, he can drive a firetruck, how hard is it to drive a minivan on the 'wrong' side of the road. He also absolutely loses his mind at hook turns in melbourne (for good reason, who came up with those?) In the end, grace takes over for their road trip along the great ocean road, and is a total natural at driving on the left. judd sits in the back with charlie pointing out every animal they pass and playing "i spy" with her. at some point in their trip, they pass a bunnings and charlie gets really excited because that looks just like hammerbarn from bluey.

i think owen would go to bondi beach to surf, and end up in an episode of bondi rescue stealing the lifeguard's thunder by pulling off some daredevil rescue before the lifeguards get there (but not before the cameras do), then he gets a really hipster vegan smoothie from a nearby cafe and somehow ends up getting a date with a rich much younger local blonde woman who's sole heiress to a mining magnate.

meanwhile, mateo takes a day trip to the blue mountains, to see if they're really blue in real life. he comes across wild kangaroos and thinks it would be so dope to send everyone back home a selfie of him petting a kangaroo and thus becomes intimately equated with the differences between paramedicine in austin and sydney. after he's been stitched up he avoids the wildlife, opting to wander around the city near their hotel playing pokemon go when owen goes to the zoo.

paul & asha are looking forward to a really relaxing honeymoon, along the east coast, eating good food, drinking good wine, sitting by the pool reading, walking along the beach, hiking and taking in the wildlife. unfortunately, as a member of the 126, paul can't stop attracting trouble, with people having emergencies everywhere they go. on the flight there, there's bad turbulence, a few people get hurt and paul has to give minor first aid. then they get to a resturant that had amazing reviews for the australian fusion cusine, paul has been dying to try it and a woman at the next table chokes just as their first course arrives. paul has to render aid until the ambulance arrives, by the time it does his food is cold, the resturant comps their meal though. then when they're driving to a mountain to go hiking, a car crashes in front of them, they help rescue the driver with no equipment before the car is engulfed in flames. by the time help arrives and they give their details etc, it's too late in the day to start their hike. a man almost drowns in the hotel pool just as paul gets to the good part of his book, the lifeguard doesn't notice, so he has to rescue them. asha starts to joke they shouldn't leave their hotel room. that said, paul is shocked by how good all the food is in australia, and the coffee. he struggles to adjust back to american coffee when he gets home, and starts importing a specalised blend from a cafe they visited in australia who ship worldwide.

while nancy and marjan are at their conference, they're constantly next to each other, in each other's personal space and making inside jokes/laughing at things the other says, to the point everyone they meet, including hen who's there representing the afd, assumes they're dating (they aren't, yet) and asks what it's like working together and dating. marjan wants to go to rottnest island while they're in perth and get a quokka selfie for her instagram, she gets at least a dozen, and convinces nancy she needs to be in at least one quokka selfie with her. they send it to the 126 groupchat and tk assumes it's an announcement that they're finally dating. they both blush. by the end of the trip they are, infact, dating.

tommy & the twins go to queensland first, they have the best time as a family at australia zoo where they cuddle a koala and tommy is so excited to see robert irwin doing the croc feeding show. then they go to the gold coast and stay by the beach, where tommy expereinces the culture shock of how much more laid back and peaceful it is. she wants to have a really 'authentic' experience, so they have fish and chips on the beach. they're surprised that nobody else is eating on the beach, until they get attacked by a flock of seagulls. after losing half their chips and all their calamari to the gulls, they decide to have ice cream for dinner instead. the twins dare tommy to try vegemite flavoued ice cream, and not only does she like it, but she gets it with a scoop of cookies and cream. when they're learning about bush tucker on their uluru trip, tommy is the only person in the tour group willing to try witcherry grubs.

TW: MENTIONS OF DEATH, AND POISON!?!!! AND SEPERATION ANXIETY!?!!! STAY SAFE!!!

Hey so... Here's how the turtles died...

You ALL decided on poison pizza, and villain death.

Here's what happened.

Warren stone finally did it. He usually fails but that's why he has meat sweats, To help him out. They created a pizza with... A hint of cyanide. A very detectible amount of poison. So maybe they weren't very smart. But Casey jr. Took the bait.

And the pizza goes back to the turtles as a gift. He doesn't really know that you can't get good pizza, when it's free, from a random stranger... on the street.. who is wearing a mask that covers their face... Because he has never bought much before he just ate rats off the ground or something... So he thought this person was really nice and he knows his friends really like pizza. So what could go wrong? Well... Everything.

The first to notice the pizza was Raph his mouth drooled over the steaming saucer, but he knew he could eat like 40 pizzas in one sitting and he needed to wait for his brothers... He took one slice and sat in his room on the floor staring at it... The smell the heat radiation emanating from the yellowish greenish cheese was sooooo hard to resist. So he gave in. Shoving it into his mouth happily. It tasted weird but Raph found that appealing. He soon... Fell to the floor.

He's used to passing out from food poisoning of some sort. Because he's eaten anything and everything. But this was a bit different... it's pizza... and He started... drifting away? And he didn't wake up....

In his room

or even alive...

He woke up...

In...

Hell.

Rating plushie dreadfuls plushies

Part two: the plushies we want or apply to us:

Dissociation

Our rating: 9/10

• one of my favourites and high up on my list of buns I want to get!! I just love how they look so much a very unique design.

•it's eyes are so pretty and represent the look and feel of dissociating really well!

•I love the colours and the clock! I don't actually know what to represents for sure probably how dissociation messes with your perception of time?

•I also don't for sure know what the silver fracture markings mean it could be a few things but they also look cool.

•I'm curious about the longer fur's texture I hope it's soft and not uhh idk not soft?

Nonbinary

Our rating: 8/10

•The nonbinary flag works really great on this Bun I like it's lighting kinda pattern which gives David Bowie vibes.

•I love the black bracelet a lot of us nonbinary folk are alternative in some way lol. I don't know what the white bracelet is foe though.

•I'm not really a fan of the eyes? I think maybe they should've just been black??

•I think it could do with one or two more details I thought maybe a Beanie with some pins possibly??

Autism

Our rating: 7/10

•OK this little guy is so cute! I love the bright colours and the Teal goes so well woth the yellow.

•The rainbow infinity sign is awesome but I agree with the people who say they should tone down the infinity symbols there is a lot.

•The hand covering the mouth (which means the X is just the nose? It looked like the nose and mouth to me) is meant so representation social anxiety, stimming and selective mutism. As somebody with selective mutism I'm very happy for it to represented in some form but I do hope it gets it's own seperate Bun as well eventually.

•there's been criticism that this bun is "infantilising" due to looking more "childish" and "cutesy" than the other plushes but I don't see that personally. The eyes look like that to portray avoiding eye contact it'd probably be hard to do that with buttons or fully black eyes.

•This is actually the second version of an autism rabbit the previous one had a lot of criticism which I agree with. I'm glad they changed it, this bunny looks so much better. I do wish it still came with a stim toy like the old version though.

Asexual

Our rating: 7/10

•very cute I wouldn't really say there's anything I really have an issue with it's just not my favourite.

•The only thing I'm not suuuuper into is the spades on the ears? Maybe if they were more specifically ace of spaces playing cards and not just lots of mini spades?? I'm not sure though.

•I don't wish I had some more representation of inside jokes in the ace community like you could give it a dragon tattoo or even make it part dragon (like how the Fawn rabbit is half deer and the insomnia rabbit is half moth) or give it a littke garlic bread plushie!

Gender dysphoria

Our rating: 8/10

•One of the most popular designs and I can see why! Like I mentioned in part one I'm a sucker for a pink and black colour combo!! The trans flag colours are so pretty!

•aside from the trans symbol on the tummy I don't actually know about any symbolism or anything on the bunny relating to gender dysphoria? I think it makes a great trans bunny but I can't really make out what about it signifies dysphoria?

•I love the eyes!! Idk if the spirals have any symbolism (I Hope they do) but they look great

Goth girl

Our rating: 6/10

•Cute but lacks detail and idk overall isn't as great looking as the other buns.

•I loooove the colour Lavender but it's just a bit too "cutesy"for something representing the goth subculture. I'm not even against goth stuff being cute but there's just not enough goth element ls aside from the bows being black.

•I feel like if it wanted to be more cute while goth it could lean into a more gothic lolita vibe maybe with a little dress?

Goth boy

Our rating: 8/10

•Now this is goth! I love himmmmm and I must have him!!! Not much more to say he's beautiful.

•I love it's "bunhaus" t-shirt we can match hehe!!

•idk what the two lines on his face are though, Is it just makeup?

Taurus ♉

Our rating: 6/10

•there's also a version with cream ears but I prefer this one, Forest green is my favourite colour and I probably wouldn't like it as much without. Wish the brown was a bit darker like the cream eared one though :/

• There's a lot going on on it's head it has green hair, horns and flowers I mean you can barely even see the horns so I think the glowers should be moved somewhere else? Maybe make into a bouquet the plushy can hold instead?

•don't really like the heart symbols on it's face and being honest I sorta feel the same about the scars I think it'd look better with just one bigger scar on it's cheek or nose instead.

•I like the bell and symbol though. I've actually started liking this one quite a bit more than I originally did I'd just change a few things.

Anxiety

Our rating: 5/10

•Cute but not on too far up on our list it's mostly the colour I think? It makes sense for anxiety but I'm not really a fan they did/are doing limited edition versions in different colours but I'm still not too sure

•it face is really cute though I just want to give them a cuddle to make them feel better!

•The little evil looking mini plushes are a great addition! They're probably whidpering in the big buns ear about all the things that could go wrong and how everyone hates them and stuff.

Dyspraxia

Our rating: 6/10

•Was originally a five but I boosted them up to six because they're actually pretty cute now that I've looked at them long enough!

•I don't know anything about the symbolism in this bun but I'm sure the checker pattern and red stitches represent something. The red stitches make me think of getting cuts and scrapes which makes sense.

•it's the face for me they look so cute with the buttons and tiny nose mouth and nose

•they're just a bit simple outside of having a more interesting pattern.

[flowersandfilms]

i am also gonna be rambling a bit but woo hoo so heres some headcanons i have for characters overall bc why not (some of these i talked about with friends and stuff so if you see a recap of a convo we've had just know it has altered my brain chemicals and is now fact in my mind. (also NOBODY in jjba is nt besides maybe idk funny valentine or something) ok onto the hcs:

Giorno!!: Autistic. this boy. this lovely young man. he is so autistic. the main hc here however is that he is very sensory seeking and loves loves loves physical touch. he went through most of his life not hugging others because he didnt know how to initiate due to not recieving any real attention as a kid. This makes him seem very touch averse. However, the second someone (my moneys on Narancia) randomly hugs him, expectingly he latches on and gets super super happy because he likes the feeling of being hugged a lot. he also does the grabby hand thing to signal to others he needs touch because again, he doesnt know how to initiate. (he mainly does it to Fugo though because theyre in love)

Fugo 🫶: Also heavily autistic. he also seems to be touch averse but is really just highly anxious with purple haze and his terrible intrusive thoughts so he usually strays away from touching people but once he finds out Giorno really likes touch he lets him hug him more often and also lays his head on his shoulder sometimes as an energy recharge

Johnny: ok first off: he is autistic with severe anxiety and also BPD. now THATS out of the way!! (before he got tusk obv) He would bite his nails, a lot. it was a genuine issue throughout his life, even before Nick's death he would bite them out of anxiety or as an attempt to mask his emotions when his dad was yelling at him and so on. He also gets hyper attached super super quickly due to not getting much (positive) attention as a kid and it still fucks with him a LOT. Especially after Gyros death bc he was his first fp and genuinely had a super super hard time coping with that. (i have so many johnny hcs but thats basically its own post so ill hold off)

Gyro: autism, adhd, funny guy syndrome the list goes on!! but yes Gyro is such a silly guy but at the same time has an extreme sense of justice and usually needs johnny to talk him down from impulsively jumping into situations that could hurt him. (i also have more for gyro but again, seperate post)

thats all i have energy for tonight tbh but these are some of my favs and these hcs have been rollin around in my lil noggin so i had to put it somewhere!! also yes, i do highly believe all of these characters are autistic and if you dont think so!! argue with a wall i guess!!

Jim seeing their whole family murdered probably gave them seperation anxiety

Being separated from Olu like that didn’t help

I’m saying that for the first few weeks, if Olu leaves the room while Jim’s asleep/goes off at port, Jim will think he’s dead and hard panic

[certifiedceliac]

“Developing a food allergy/intolerance/restriction as an adult is very hard and everyone's process in adjusting is different. Even if you feel like things won't get better, it will become more normal, and you will be ok. I promise I promise I promise.”

I have a question. How long should it take for things to feel more normal? Maybe I have a few things conspiring against me, but I just can’t feel normal. I was diagnosed with celiac without ever having symptoms (or at least without having symptoms I ever tied to consuming gluten). I was so skeptical when I got the call from the doctor that I laughed. The reason I was tested was as part of diagnostic work up for type 1 diabetes diagnosis that landed me in the ICU at age 35. My DGA and TTG were through the roof but I was very skeptical. I’d been eating bread every single day! The endoscopy came back as Marsh 3C so I started coming to terms with the fact that I was, indeed, in danger.

That traumatic series of diagnoses was all in summer of 2020. I’ve had to use insulin, started eating low carb, and have been avoiding gluten. The first two I got used to. The gluten avoidance through is honestly the one bothering me more. The fact that I can’t really eat out anymore, not without worrying a lot, because even if the place has a gluten free menu or markings, restaurants have been in a pinch since Covid and have taken a lot of shortcuts. I don’t really eat at friend’s houses. I don’t want to go traveling to places where I can’t know for sure that I’ll be able to find gluten free food. It’s just been miserable, I’ve been waiting for it to get more normal, but isn’t 3 years a long time?

I’m paranoid because I don’t have symptoms (I don’t know what it feels like to get glutened) but my antibodies have plateaued above the normal range and I can’t seem to get them to go lower. I’m sick and tired of having my world feel so small because I can’t eat most food. It doesn’t feel like it’s getting more normal, it feels worse and worse as the world slowly goes back to pre-lockdown socially while it feels like I’m the only left in food lockdown.

Thanks for any advice :(

Gosh that sounds like a ride and a half. I'm so sorry that your journey so far has had so many challenges. My answer is a little lengthy, so I'm putting it under a break.

To answer your question anon, it's really something that just depends. In my case, I was initially diagnosed with celiac in 2014. At the time I was also dealing with diagnosis and removal of a pituitary tumor, so because of that I kind of treated celiac as an afterthought--I already felt terrible in a million other ways, so I was pretty lax the change. I wasn't really given any education on how to adjust my diet or eating habits, or the risks associated with continuing to eat gluten. I sought a second opinion from a doctor that ended up knowing jack about celiac disease, and was given an IBS diagnosis instead (because I'd been eating GF for a year, they found no damage to my intestines, and I wasn't eating gluten at the time). From 2015 to 2020 I was back on eating gluten, but after I started having severe symptoms (again) I was rediagnosed by another (much better) GI team.

I have a few additional problems now because of the untreated celiac that I probably wouldn't have had I been better educated the first time around, and I'm pretty bitter about that sometimes. But I've also been very lucky to have such a good support network of people that understand and care about me, and that makes a lot of difference.

What I'm trying to say is that, while it will get better, it doesn't always feel like it. There are days that I really struggle with anxiety around eating in front of others, frustration over the lack of convienence, and the feeling of exclusion (or at least seperation) from meals with family, friends, and coworkers. I relate to you with the lack of symptoms--I've only been truly glutened once to my knowledge, but additional GI issues I have always have me on high alert. I'm also currently dealing with unexplained elevated TTG/IGA levels, despite being extremely strict nowadays.

Doing my own research and starting this blog really helped me to focus on the things I can do rather than the things I can't. I also just kind of brute force my way through things that gave me anxiety before, like taking my food with me to friends' houses or restaurants. I've been through so much, I no longer care what people think lmao

Basically your mileage is going to vary. I wouldn't say that these things have a set timeline, and I personally think the mental part of dealing with a diagnosis like celiac takes twice as long to heal from compared to the physical part. It sounds like you're struggling especially hard with feelings of loss and detachment. That's not uncommon, but you may benefit from talking about all of this with a therapist, or just reaching out to a friend to say you're struggling.

Give yourself credit--you've gotten so far from where you were. And remember, even if you feel isolated, you're not dealing with this alone.

Elliot has been with me for 3 months already!

I'm sure that almost everybody knows this already, but here's what Elliot is like after 3 months, just for fun!

He is ridiculous and I say this in the nicest way possible. Every day, he does something that makes me laugh.

He loves to jump. Up in the air, on the bed, on the cat tree, on top of the dog crate (I don't understand how that's comfortable), he walks on table like it's nothing. Nothing will stop that boy from Being On Things. I think it's hilarious.

He loves strangers. I'm so used to living with fearful dogs that it surprises me every time. He almost requires strangers to pet him and he gets offended if there's kids that don't pet him. I didn't know how he was with kids and it's a delight. Bean is scared of children and it makes me nervous, so it's nice to have Elliot to point kids too. (All the kids we met except one were polite, a+.) Everybody is his friend.

He's very food motivated. It's a bit tricky because he thinks anything is edible, but it's also a huge plus. He's easy to train, to feed and he takes meds well.

He loves training. The main struggle is that I don't know how to teach him things, he's just happy to do things and get food for it.

I'm still shocked by the fact that he thrives at dog daycare with me. He yells at me if I'm not fast enough at getting out of the car when we get to work. He isn't the most playful dog, but gets along with 99% of dogs and communicates well, it's great by me.

He is so environmentally stable it's almost unbelievable. A crate that was stacked fell next to him and he didn't react. Nothing bothers him.

Chico is a good dog that has weird reactions to dogs, but Elliot generally does very well all things considered. He sometimes gets scared, but considering that Chico has unpredictable reactions at times, it's only normal.

He loves water. I don't know exactly why, but that makes me happy. Puddles are fun!

He is unbothered by rain, thunder and storms. As someone scared of all of it, it's a huge relief that Elliot doesn't care.

Elliot thrives in public. He is genuinely happy to go to pet friendly stores.

He is very good with Bean. Bean, who is easily fearful of dogs, is in love with Elliot.

Elliot is great at adapting to my health. He's not immune to being bored, but for example, today, I fed the dogs, took them out to potty and I wasn't able to get out of bed until 4 pm and he was fine. I'm impressed.

He lets me sleep. Once a week, I'm thankful that he's a teen and not a puppy. He goes to sleep whenever I do and wakes up whenever I do.

His only cons are:

It's extremely hard for me to teach him not to mark (he could have worse issues, but it's stressful to me and it feels hopeless).

He has very high chase drive with Nelly (he only wants to lick her, but his behavior is still scary to Nelly regardless). I think he'll get better with training.

He has seperation anxiety, but it's definitely better than at the beginning.

We're still trying to figure each other out (mostly me trying to figure out how to teach him things + how to meet his needs) but, overall, he is fun to live with and I'm happy he's in my life. I desesperatly needed a stable, friendly dog.

[ankhisms]

various ramblings trying to type thoughts ive been having

sometimes i get the feeling that people think less of me or negatively about me due to my different brain issues like not processing and understanding things etc etc and i dont know if thats my anxiety/extremely low self esteem self worth/paranoia combined with a history of people mistreating me or if thats actually happening yknow i really dont want to assume that people dislike me ive been trying to break that pattern of thinking within myself which again comes from a life time of abuse and of people very openly disliking me so my brain goes well its always been the default that people dislike us and are angry with us. its like i know i have brain processing issues but i wish that wouldnt make people like me less or think less of me. instead of telling me that im not actually stupid id like for someone to tell me that even if i am stupid they still care about me and will have compassion for me and my mistakes. ive been thinking about something a mutual said i genuinely cant remember who said it memory issues flaring up so hi if it was you but it was like. online theres this phenomena where even peoples tiny little slip ups and in the bigger picture not that big of a deal mistakes can be documented and held against them for an eternity and that for a long time theres been a certain cultivation of behavior of like. idk what the word is i dont think hyper vigilance is the right term but the kind of mentality where if you make even one mistake you have that held over your head for years. and im realizing that i really grew up with that kind of mentality surrounding me online (and similar mentalities irl) and i think that really fed into and formed a lot of different issues i have. there was a post i rbed maybe earlier this week about not thinking that youre one slip up from your friends abandoning you and i really want to get myself to believe that but the problem is that thats genuinely happened before or thats been threatened to happen before with me and so again my brain goes well it could happen again everyone you know and love could suddenly cut you off out of nowhere with no warning or everyone you know and love is secretly talking about how awful you are. and i get scared that im somehow doing things wrong without knowing that im doing things wrong or hurting people without realizing im hurting them and lately i keep just being hit with the feeling that everything i do is wrong and that im making people angry or upset with me even when im literally not doing anything and it sucks and i wish i knew an easy way to get out of it. ive mentioned this before but when it comes to my issues like this one thing is like. i dont want people to think that im so fragile and scared that ill shatter if they come to me and talk to me saying hey rey this thing you did upset me/hurt me etc i dont want people to think that ill fall apart if im told about a mistake ive made or that ive done something wrong i want people to be able to come to me and talk with me and i always want to be able to grow and admit when im wrong and i dont want to hurt people. and then ive been thinking about how even though i have lovely friends who i cherish and appreciate and love so much i still feel so lonely and seperated from everyone who i know and love and i feel like im on the other side of a glass wall and that no one can reach me and i want to get closer to people but it always feels like i cant. but i dont want to doubt my friends love for me i dont want to doubt that i have a place in peoples lives. but its really hard. anyway its almost midnight i should sleep thanks if you read this
