every person needs a rpg maker game/game series to haunt them forever and be a part of their identity I think

[lokislittlesigyn]

I do this too. :3

On top of other things I have depression, anxiety, and pretty severe PTSD, and being autistic (and Highly suspected ADHD) means oftentimes I am already struggling with sensory issues, emotional regulation, processing, etc. Not to mention my physical health issues! I need support and there’s not always someone around to ask. Loki goes with me most everywhere. I talk to him while I drive (helps me focus), he holds my hand when I’m nervous, he walks with me if I’m going to the store or somewhere crowded.

Sometimes I also talk to myself “as” him, taking an outside perspective and treating myself more kindly as a result. I’ve talked myself down from panic attacks and helped my mind not wander into Vivid Flashbacks by having “conversations” with him. He also helps me remember when to go to bed (I’m just problematic and balk on it /lh) and plan for the next day at night!

This past year taught me I’m not able to push as far as I thought I could, physically or mentally, and still be healthy. I have limitations and I’m learning to accept them. As you said, sometimes you just need help! And I think getting help from a safe place, like imagining a character with you so you don’t feel quite so alone or overwhelmed, is perfectly all right. <3

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.

#LUCAMARC: chemtrails over the country club.

[findafight]

Robin chose Steve. Robin made the conscious and deliberate decision that she could and would trust Steve. She already liked him! She had fun working and bantering with him! They were already on their way to being weird little bffs and the torture just expedited the process. Steve chose Robin just the same! He thinks she's fun and cool and likes her so much! He chose to be honest and open with her too, putting himself out there.

Even though their interests on the surface level don't match why wouldn't they share them? Steve clearly caves when Robin wants to watch a movie he doesn't think he'll like, Robin can watch a March madness game or five.

Stop trying to take away their bond oh my god people can be close to more than one person!!! Their best friend doesn't have to be dismissive or mean or whatever in order for a romance to be special to them!

last night for my birthday i forced my friends to listen to an hour and a half long powerpoint explaining the entire lost timeline in chronological order. i know lost is a pretty zany show but nothing makes you realize this more than trying to verbally explain time travel and the sideways universe to three people who've never seen it

[you-know-i-get-itt]

oh no. i think i'm in love with kevin day

[thelordofgifs]

hot take but you guys are maybe a little too obsessed with elrond. he's just a guy.

[canisalbus]

I just wanna say that your gay dogs have singlehandedly rekindled my obsession with the Renaissance, help

[calware]

"i happened to not find this character very interesting or likeable" doesn't automatically mean they're an objectively bland and boring character it just means you have a personal opinion

[novelconcepts]

Gonna posit something slightly controversial:

So we see the wolf attack as a matter of “it didn’t want them to leave”, and that tracks. But given the way Van’s reacting to Taissa in the hours before the attack—starting to really recognize they’re standing on fundamentally opposed ground from one another—I can’t help wondering if it’s also an early sacrifice to keep them together. That violence breeds a return to true connection between them, right when the connection was threatening to slip. Arguably, it punches them UP a notch, romantically; it’s after Van’s mauled that Taissa’s willing and eager to announce their relationship, “drama” be damned. Without it, they might not have made it. Without that blood, they might have split up before anyone even realized they were together.

It’s fascinating that, on the heels of their first fight, the Wilderness finds a way—through the spilling of blood, and a near-death that comes veeeery close to landing—to ensure Tai and Van are bound tighter than ever.

The Wilderness has an OTP, and it will pull out all the stops to make sure they last.

38 years ago today, at around 01:23:39, the AZ-5 button was pressed... the rest is history.

[unexpectedbrickattack]

In agony over the fact that if i want content of my oc and [redacted], there is no way for that content to simply manifest itself into reality; I have to make it myself .

[catominor]

another thing about the c. martinus and l. furius scholarship too is that their story gets received into the historical record with some. significant differences to what Actually happened so i get to have soo very much fun with that...
