had someone tell me today they think I would be diagnosed with ocd before autism and i cannot stop thinking abt it
#damien.txt#like. WHAT.#its something to do with like. trans men are the least likely to be diagnosed with autism#but also. ocd was not even. on any wavelength i had. i did not even. think that was a possibility. for me.#this was a friend that works with mental disability btw so it's not like. someone saying that w the stereotype in mind#i...... truly no one has ever said that to me before im#my biggest thing w that is i can see it a bit but also like.... i dont really have the compulsions bit?#like anything to do w/ habits to make things 'right' is. not relatable#though tbh i dont actually know if you have to have that for an ocd diagnosis#also lol idk if i explained what im talking about right. but idk how else to explain#anyways yeah. most of the symptoms i relate to are like. the mental ones.#esp with like... intrusive thoughts and stuff. and i dont mean that in the co-opted silly way#anyways! thanks for reading my oversharing abt my mental health post of the day#tune in tomorrow for my thoughts abt being overwhelmed by life <3

pillow tpot headcanons (long ramble expanding on the ocd part under the cut)
ok so first warning: i am not a psychiatrist. this isnt a super educated essay on ocd, just me projecting my lived experience onto an object show character. this is just an observation. if i get something wrong feel free to correct me, ill add it here. (its also worth noting i am self diagnosed. not "quick google search" self dx though, ive gone over it with a therapist and everything)
and that leads into the second warning: this ramble will get a tad bit personal sorryyyy
and finally the third warning: i put she/it on the ref but im just using she/her for simplicity (+ i forgot LOL(
anyway so yeah i think that pillow has ocd and is basically the embodiment of "letting intrusive thoughts win" except like. actually. this headcanon didnt stem from the killing or the strange impulses though, i think she has it because of her fixation on good and bad luck in tpot 10.
for me it manifests in a few different ways. my main one is counting—i have good luck numbers and bad luck numbers. i need to take a specific number of snacks every time i have a bowl of them. i have to shake medicine bottles a certain amount of times before taking them. i am always counting the "syllables" of whatever im doing, and it always has to land on a multiple/factor of my lucky number. and if i break any of this, i (generally, if i cant convince myself its fine or if i dont notice) have to count to my lucky number otherwise something bad will happen. hell, i added more flags to this ref because the number of them was my unlucky number.
i have a few other things that affect it that are completely unrelated to counting, though. like a particularly bad one is that i straight up cant wear certain articles or clothing anymore because theyre bad luck. or my ungodly long night routine (which is probably more of an autism thing tbh. but certain parts of it are absolutely influenced by the ocd, like having to say goodnight to my dog).
that ^^ is what i saw in pillow. she was distraught that her team lost in 9, because not only did she think she was doing the challenge right, but killing people (bringing death) was good luck for her.
i think her killing people was a compulsion, and her whole thing in 10 was her scrambling to find a new one after that stopped working.
and before anyone tries to be all like "oh thats fucked up why would they portray ocd like that," one: i dont think this was on purpose this was just an observation, two: i mean..... fuck dude if i lived in a world where revival was incredibly accessible and one of my compulsions were to kill people, id do the same thing. death is fairly normal in bfdi, to the point everyone literally has a kill count on the fandom wiki (hers is 13 as of tpot 11 btw, a commonly unlucky number ironically enough. if she gets eliminated in 12 with an unlucky kill count thatd be so funny). once they get past the pain, its. really just an inconvenience to them.
when it comes to ocd, you. HAVE to do these things. its not a choice until you can get some outside help with it, and oftentimes its an inconvenience to those around you. i dont think its right for her to be going around killing her team, but when i get past the fact that is literally what made her my favorite, i get where shes coming from. shes trying to help in a way she "knows" will work.
or maybe shes just silly idk

MORE INFO UNDER THE CUT 💤
LAST UPDATED JULY 21 2024, INTERACTS FROM @kirbytripledeluxe
pillow is a (breathe in.....) gender apathetic transfem aroace lesbian. it primarily uses she/it, but if you use a different pronoun she won't really care. in fact she will give you a thumbs up before walking away to go blow someone up. it also likes girls despite not being at all interested in a relationship. this means no shipping!
she's also slightly aplatonic and has very little empathy. and she doesn't acknowledge boundaries well. doesn't mean it can't do good, though (no matter how uncomfortable it is)
she has ocd! mostly based on my own lived experience with it. her compulsions often have to do with good/bad luck.
the part of its face that got torn off in tpot 9 was never fully recovered due to how bad the damage was. it will take a few more recovers or an actually good stitching job to fully heal it. the eye on that side is fully blind for the time being because of this! tbh i just kinda use it as an excuse to draw some cool scars EHHEHEHE
i am under the impression that she would NOT kill as gleefully if recovery wasnt so readily available. its a genuine effort to help out alongside satisfying her curiosity.
she can indeed read and write because i say so
tba
no nsfw, shes asexual and this is an all ages show. settle down
please dont bring up emeto stuff. rocky dni /hj (mentions of feeling sick is fine in the right contexts, but please at least ask first in dms or something)
breaking the timeline IS allowed! this blog is meant to take place at least post tpot-12 but i can make exceptions
magic anons are allowed but please dont be too excessive with them
you are totally allowed to get bloody and gory with it. i am a pillow tpot fan i love when theres blood at the function
that being said, that is not her entire personality and id rather it not be treated like that. and keep in mind that death is fairly common in the bfdi universe, unless i or another RPer choose to treat it seriously, its really not that serious
if i ignore an ask, im either saving it or dont know how to answer it. or i just dont want to. or i forgot. theres a lot of reasons i could be doing that.
whether i treat this blog as a joke or not will depend on the day, PLEASE be normal if im treating it seriously.
ooc messages are marked with . well. ooc. i am not canon to bfdi please do not have characters acknowledge me
tba
ill come up with a tag system as i go .......
#bfdi#bfb#tpot#battle for dream island#battle for bfdi#the power of two#bfdi rp#bfdi rp blog#bfdi ask blog

DUDEEEEEE. She calls me baby youuuuu ate that harrrrrrrd. Like I had to go back in for seconds and thirds and fourths fr fr. Cause are we even surprised or are we just grateful that you give us mortals a second of your time and talent????
Babe you are so incredibly talented. The way you write is sooooooo amazing its like you just know how to manipulate your words into something that will and has had me in tears in like 2 seconds. Don't even get me started on how you write your characters. Like I don't know how I can fully and most genuinely express the astonishment you leave me in all the time.
I believe that you are one of a kind and a treasure to be cherished. I know that doubting is inevitable but I hope that you know that I'm always gonna be in the obsessed with addie corner no matter what. Like I meant it when I said that there won't be a time when you have no fans. Ever. You will forever be my favourite gorgeous goddess❤️❤️❤️.
-❤️
(I'm sorry I've been so absent school has been actually eating me alive)
(I think about you everyday though and it makes life just that much better)
(I hope you don't think I'm exaggerating😭😭😭😭All of this that I've been feeling without releasing had to be sent in a long ask my bad)
(I missed your little bonuses though, I hope you're doing okay)
(I'm always here for anything you may need, even if its literally just to tell you how amazing you are)
(love you ❤️)
#jealousclarissesupremacy

you know, i feel a lot of people who feel unlovable really like the whole "soulmate" idea in fiction (because it ensures that you would be loved, unconditionally, no matter what), but tbh i have never resonated with it.
It actually... makes me uncomfortable, i guess you could say? I wouldn't want a soulmate. Because to me... then that love wouldn't feel real. And i want desperatly to be loved for real, a genuine love. A soulmate, though, it doesn't feel real. They dont have any choice but to love you. They have no free will. But even if that love is genuine, as someone who has always felt trapped and like i dont have any choices in anything... i wouldn't want to wish that upon anyone.
The thought of being loved unconditionally is something i want so bad, but something I also dont want at all. If someone were to love me unconditionally, and say, i changed dramatically as a person and became someone abusive/toxic/evil, but they still loved and stayed with me... they wouldn't deserve that. They wouldn't deserve to be hurt like that. (or would they? if they found something so despicable so lovable, does that make them evil too?) (<-that one was just about general evilness, not toxicness/abusiveness. obviously abuse victims getting attached to their abuser isn't a moral failing) I don't ever see myself turning out to be like how i just described, but that's not the point. The point is it doesn't matter what i became or did to them, they would have to love me. They would have no free will. And that is terrible.
(you can see my moral ocd sneaking in that last paragraph a little shhh)
I want to be loved. I want to be loved, so, so desperately. I want to be loved, i want to feel loved, i want to love, i want to be in love. And i want a live that stays, i want a love that's consistent. I want someone who's love is so deep that they'd still love me and stay with me even when thing got bad for me and i wasn't able to take care of myself. I feel like no one has ever stayed, and i crave something permanent, something consistent, really to the point of desperation. But the thought of what that would entail is just... so distressing to me. I shouldn't, couldn't, and wouldn't do that to anyone. And the thought of it being a soulmate is even more sickening to me...

1 - Were you named after anyone ?
No, unless you count that some headmates share a name with their fictional or real source if they are a fictive / factive or -kin
2- Last time you cried ?
I think maybe last week?
3- Do you have kids?
No and we don't want any
4- What sports do you play / have you played?
Only tae kwon do, like years ago if referring to consistently doing it. I don't like the idea of it anymore bc sparring reminds me of physical abuse and its too triggering. Have a weird relationship w exercise since we have chronic pain and fatigue, don't like intentionally doing it and even daily tasks like walking leave us exhausted, and even things like going for a walk thats a bit longer than we can results in PEM(post exertional malaise), last time that happened we just fell asleep for over 12 hours once we got home.
5- Do you use sarcasm?
Some headmates do, some don't
6-Whats the first thing you notice about people?
Irl its usually their clothes / accessories or hair, for some reason it feels a bit weird for some of us to look at ppls faces or other things about them especially if theyre strangers idk. And things like voice and how they smell are not things one would notice at first glance (unless maybe you hear or smell them before you see them)
I didnt realise it also includes what you notice online, but I usually recall pfps or urls but if someone changes both it may not be likely Id recognise them again unless their description or bio are intact
7- What's your eye color?
The body's eye color is very dark brown, some headmates have different eye colors in their actual form / how they really look, which is different from how the body looks
8- Scary movies or happy endings?
Depends on how its written, but usually happy endings bc we don't like scary movies as they can make us more anxious when its dark
9-Any talents?
Not sure if hobbies count, anyways nothing unusual ? Not sure what to put here bc everything feels like its either a hobby or just how the body is
10- Where were you born?
India
11- Hobbies?
Art (drawing, painting though we havent done that in a while)(mainly traditional art but want to do more digital art also), knitting, embroidery, watching media, sometimes photography (but less often bc it can be physically exhausting), coining terms and making flags digitally, sometimes cooking (though not often unless we need to bc its physically taxing), occasionally singing (but we don't often get to be alone at home so not often)
12- Do you have any pets?
In headspace, some headmates have pets, mainly bc their fictional source has one and theyre fictives. But we don't want to raise a pet bc we aren't capable of it and most headmates don't have the ability to feel affection for pets. Its similar to why we don't want to have kids.
13- How tall are you?
5 foot 4 is the bodys height, headmates ideal forms have different heights than that
14- Favorite subject in school?
Biology (one of my in sys partners calls me their 'biology nerd' its cute), and maybe English, because I do enjoy writing, oh and definitely Art (not talking about college here but anyways yeah)
15- Dream job?
I don't know if we have one tbh.. its a little hard to actually want to have a job, if it were possible we wouldnt even have one (universal basic income when?) and it seems a little fucked up if we think about what if things we enjoy doing became a job for ua bc wow that sounds stressful. For now we're going to just try to do our best in the field we're studying to be in, but I think maybe doing commissions for art or selling our art sounds doable, especially if I develop better art skills. I used to have an interest in wildlife biology but the bodys parents didn't approve (and so I couldnt pursue any study in that - it would have been difficult) and like I dont know how easily one can be a scientist and still be financially stable or even have a job, but our physical ability has also declined and the topic sort of triggers one of my ocd themes due to how ive seen some ppl talk about wildlife biologists / other naturalists, so its not feasible unless I somehow become able bodied or find a workplace w accomodations and actually get ocd cured somehow(similar applies for marine biology), and even then im not sure it would be worth the burnout.
no pressure tags : @strawbiraptora @sluttytylerdurden @annapoofle @disasterdemi @gehe-lihiyot-androgynos-varda @theconstellarium @gestaltsystem
@carebearbro
and anyone else who wants to do this
Saw this tag game on another post and thought I'd do it (idk if I've done it before, maybe something similar, but my answers will be different anyway)
1. Were you named after anyone?
Nope My chosen name (Allister) however, is from a youtuber who has a very cool name and I stole it (Alasdair Beckett-King, very funny videos and he has great hair too). I adapted it a bit so people in Spain would at least have an idea of how to pronounce it at first glance (hopefully) It has nothing to do with any Crowley (which I did not realize was a thing until recently), tho for a bit I named myself AJ like Good Omens Crowley, but I don't like how it sounds in Spanish...
2. When was the last time you cried?
Last month probably
3. Do you have kids?
No. And I don't want any. I don't dislike them, but it's not for me
4. What sports do you play/have you played?
Judo, karate and football (the indoors kind). All as a kid/teen. Now my brother and I walk every week day and go up and down stairs (when we remember...) One day I want to try to go to a gym to get some muscle, but not too much, just a bit of definition. Also, I'd enjoy doing rock climbing, but not competitive climbing or anything like that
5. Do you use sarcasm?
Sometimes
6. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Irl: the way they move their face and hands when they speak, which then I subconsciously use to recognize people, bc I'm a bit face blind Online: the way they choose to express themselves
7. What's your eye color?
Gray/light blue on the outside and artichoke green/lime on the inside
8. Scary movies or happy endings?
I like both, but I'd rather watch a happy ending. For scary things I prefer to watch Markiplier's scary games videos
9. Any talents?
I'm VERY good at jigsaw puzzles
10. Where were you born?
East of Spain, by some of the best Mediterranean coasts 😁. I enjoy it here, but one day I'd like to live in the UK, at least for a bit, I think I'd like it there
11. What are your hobbies?
Listening to music, singing, making art (crafting, building, drawing, painting, writing, ...), watching media (shows, panel shows, youtube, twitch), video games (rhythm/dancing, platformer, puzzle... Also minecraft, powerwash sim, potion craft...), going for walks, exercise, learning languages (especially English) If I had any good ones close, I'd go to theatres and museums too. And, if I had money, I'd travel. I'm also slowly learning about taking care of plants
12. Do you have any pets?
Not yet. I'd love to have dogs, cats, frogs, snakes... or anything really. I love animals. But I think cats and frogs would be the best fit for me, considering my personality and current lifestyle I've always wanted a dog, but I've only had a turtle and a hamster
13. How tall are you?
1.63m or 5’3”
14. Favorite subject in school?
Biology and technology
15. Dream job?
Anything that pays me enough to be independent and let me do all my hobbies Although, if I ever have the patience, base skill, and required mental fortitude, I'd go for general robotics and/or prop making (for film and/or theatre)
No pressure tags in no particular order (I tried to tag as many people as I could, but apparently there's a tag limit 😅):
@swamp-communism @they-thespian666 @strongsuits @skelesona @shinekittenace @yeetmewithachainsaw @rockium-z @gordonzola-ramen @vampireopossum @libraryfag @frostytheduck @tetostar @xyrnys @normalscientist @dolltwink @anxi0usgh0st05 @piersgender

As a Hirrus Clutumnus stan I got to hear your 2 pieces on him. Also, as a mentally ill person, what are your thoughts on Shivering Isles? (There are parts I rlly vibe with but I understand a lot of it is played for laughs, and I've never had psychosis so idk how people who experience that feel about it. i can only see it from a depression/anxiety/ocd lense)
ooooooooo youre bringing in the REAL good questions here
Heads up for mentions of suicide and assisted suicide, oh and spoilers for an old as fuck game
So, for a long but necessary background, because if Im gonna talk on this i need to be explicit where I'm coming from regarding it, I have StPD AKA diagnosed shivering isles resident at psychiatrist disorder. That for me includes delusions and a lot of paranoia, perceptual hallucinations, magical thinking, highly spiritual angle to life... actually ironic this question comes in now bc my deity has been like. get into and talk about madness for a few days now. take that as an example if you want, including a lot of reading of signs and stuff. basically. talking to things that most people dont think can talk, eccentricity in thought processes and dress and speaking, issues speaking outloud bc words and sentences get jumbled/etc, and connecting the dots between things that aren't related (eg "if I turn this light on the grass outside will stop growing and the farmer will get mad"). Its... also relevant to answering this in a different way to say that Im autistic so... I kinda struggle with discerning the intent behind creating the Isles (like, as you said, being played for laughs) vs the homely feeling I personally get from it.
So yeah, tldr i fucking FEEL the isles, and i may not be the best at interpreting them right
On to the answer (under read more only bc its long)
Hirrus:
Oh man, seriously, as someone whos struggled with depression for a long ass time and..... relevant feelings...... I LOVE how brutally honestly Hirrus is approached. Actually that tends to be one of my favourite parts of how the Isles are approached in general, in that they don't shy away from the brutality of mental illness. Its not just "haha funny goofy land" its "bunch of people brought together by Issues" Like... I know the brutality is probably to show that Sheogorath is a DAEDRIC PRINCE not to be taken lightly (although i am SURE there were a lot of people struggling w mental issues on the Isles dev team who wanted to depict it like this for the sake of realism) but like... Mental illness as Im sure you get as a Hirrus Stan is not just quirky little things but something that devastates lives. It doesnt JUST do that but ill get to that in the overall isles opinion. I think no matter whether the developers are mentally ill or not, if theyre going to approach these topics there needs to be a level of "yep this is fucked up" - in a VERY specific way though. If Hirrus was played in a way that was about the HoK's horRor and suFferINg meeting Hirrus id be like. ew. but since youre literally just meeting someone going through SHIT in a fantasy world.... Oh, the fantasy world bit is super relevant. I think id have some issues with it if it was in our world - the whole hill of suicides thing is absolutely extremely relevant imo as to why this is not just acceptable but a great bit of storytelling. "The real world is dark and dangerous, help someone kill themselves"= dangerous DANGEROUS thing to put in a story. "Im going to show you how fucked up this fantasy world is, and its so fucked up that it turns helping someone kill themselves into a merciful and good bit of storytelling"= good. i like that. The way its implemented is really good storytelling IMO.
On the Isles themselves:
I think it boils down to... Theres a fine line to be walked when talking about mental illness, and even if its played for laughs, they still did it right. Well, i mean. For an old game.
Tbh?? I dont think mental illness, as i touched upon above, is just about devastation and loss and struggles, its also like.... A fantastic thing. I dont have a love-hate relationship w my StPD but a love-....babysit. relationship. Some days its awful like when im convinced bad triggering shit i wont mention is about to happen, somedays my perceptual hallucinations kick in and the world is suddenly oversaturated colours and burningly hi definition, somedays it really helps with grounded things in that i tend to be creative bc i can see reality in weird ways, or it helps (SOMETIMES) with divination and whatnot. But its always something less of a horror assigned to me and more of a confused seriously sight-impaired clone who cant see the world properly and i have to guide them around - StPD comes in between me and my ability to perceive the world around me. The whole display of the divided isles is, yes, a litttlleeee outdated bc i think its meant to partially reference bipolar disorder which, kinda gross thing to do but i guess understandable if you know fuck all about not insulting mentally ill people, and using words like dementia as an aesthetic is a little off-putting, but its so.... homely to have this stark acceptance that illness is a huge consuming SWAMP of a fuckin thing, twisted and dangerous, but also fantastical, inviting, super/post-real.... Mania is my fucking favourite area bc yeah. it approaches what life feels like when the good StPD Issues kick in. This divide also really shows how StPD and similar illnesses work, but colouring (pun intended given the colour schemes) your world view, and turning everyday things (trees, animals) into horrific, desolate things - or weird, beautiful, fantastical things because thats what it FEELS like. plus i think just because some of the devs intended to make this world in reference to a few things, doesnt mean the end product isnt an accurate portrayal of other things. Just because im sure some were like "oo lets use bipolar/dementia/etc for aesthetics" and got it wrong, doesnt mean its not an accurate depiction of other unrelated mental illnesses.
Thats a little subjective but.... on a different note. I think a HUGE thing that makes the Isles work for being a good/palatable depiction as opposed to a bad one is the fact that the Hero BECOMES SHEOGORATH. and the whole questline leading up where you BECOME a member of the isles and really get to know them is..... Is so so paramount to how this Works so it isnt just some zoo you stroll around. Youre either With the Isles AND their population or..... the questline isnt for you. Another HUGE thing is the fact that everyone just......... ugh how do i put this bc of course theres conflict between characters in the isles..... But it just feels like home having StPD where theres this place that everyone has their own thing going on and no one really condemns them for it, not in the way real life does, like. Ah. I guess id say it like: itd be boring as shit if every character was like "oh my GOD everyone around me is CRAZYYYY not ME though" like.... when you have groups of friends that are all Mentally Ill Luv x you can sort of relax and all be your own various shades of the rainbow you know?? Real life tends to see me have to train myself to act normal and not display illness symptoms bc im the odd one out for some reason. The Isles is..... So you know that study done showing how autistics struggle socially with non autistics but can get along fine together? Yeah reminds me of that, where NTs will condemn and belittle and other everyone with serious mental illness - and so if youre a NT youd think that NDs would do the same, just like non autistics think autistics couldnt communicate together - but it takes a level of insight into this to understand in a lot of our friend groups we.... dont fall apart, we actually start to understand each other as similar in different ways. We find other ways to have cohesive social groups without all being in touch with the same version of reality. Whether the devs meant the isles as thought out like that or "haha imagine people being sooooo crazy they dont even know other people are crazy" well, we wont know, but again - an inaccurate attempt to portray one thing can turn into an accurate way to portray another.
Plus, honestly.... There comes a point where, like the whole "theres no ethical consumption under capitalism" thing, I think it matters less the devs intentions and more how the consumer consumes it. If youre NT and like it? I think the issue is when its "haha weird ass crazy people funny, im so glad im not these dudes hey look at how stupid they are", but if youre approaching it like "damn this is a wacky place where people have some serious issues and im going to enjoy the storyline and the humour without treating it like a digital freak show" then i mean.... Idk. Not sure on that angle logically but I do know I dont have that jugdmental reaction to people enjoying it when they arent like the people depicted in the isles
Tldr: I like it. Its either well thought out or a bunch of happy accidents. I think that we can all argue/debate on the intent behind it? Which, if this was created by one singular person, would be EXTREMELY relevant, but since its a whooooole dev team IMO the individual intents matter a little less than the end product as an independent thing. And because of that, the fact that it feels so much like home to people like me, and because yes, it may be played for laughs, but a lot of it (Hirrus for one great example) really is not meant to be funny, and because youre MEANT to become a part of it (and therefore see these people as YOUR people), i think........ Its perfectly alright to really appreciate the isles and enjoy its depiction of people like me - i mean... Lets be honest here.... If it was inaccurate, you wouldnt have as many people on the schizospec and psychotic spec being like damn we love this as we do have

i feel SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 0h9uagfijojsga i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate it when someone moves something off someone’s face and eats it esp now i guess id ont know i wont let anyone do it ii dont KNOW WHAT IS IS BUT I WAS LIKE NOOOOO NO NO NO NO NO NO???? but it was cute anyways also theer was a good editing moment in ep 4 but i am too tired to think.
their dad sucks.
should i choose to believe that zhen xuan’s s/l is about how data privacy is important, rich people suck, and the cops are bad and also persecute people that are marginalized to the edge and hurts them? punishing mppl for living? i choose to believe that even though im pretty sure it isnt that.
there was good stuff here. i am confused abt the rs in HS and i think it’s true that he needs help. getting help is constant! and with paranoia and self harm you absolutely can go off the rails. even with stuff like anxiety esp OCD i know when i have things i hold on to and have to let go cos it’s literally an ocd tic for me. i really like teh way he is portrayed but idk. i like the actor.
i have a bone to pick with the costume designer abt the pants on both xuan and yi tho. it’s ugly.
anyways i hope hes ok. tbh i was scared he was gonna commit skewerslide i know they wouldnt go there but even tho there’s plenty that was correct about what sou yi said it was still harmful. it’s not his fault u were a creep bitch
ah and last but not least and perhaps not actually last. i hate the father did i say that anyway their reunioon was great. it took me um 11 hours from seeing the first svcene until now to finish but ugh. my chest gets all tight and i want to vomit and that’s how i know it’s good.
controversial i know: i could spend 4eva just watching them together they dont need 2 kiss. when GSD was like looking at the bracelet i was like so ur just...gonna fuck now? or? lmao but yea it’s nice. i NEEEEEEEEED NEED. NEED. NEED. a scene where we go through those emails. ok i dont want them if theyre super sappy and romantic but i feel like thered be some deep shit.
also i love how much shu yi loves him and i love hearing him speak japanese and his dad is going to hell which doesnt exist but it does and hes in it
does anyone know whyyyyy there were images of him sitting in his lap but we didnt get the scene? it’s when theyre in the office with the emails (god, america ruined this word for me forever. i just went EMAAAAIIIIILLLLS if u know u know) and uhhhhhh another 5 hours of us watching them :)

Part 1 Hey can you please help me, I'm a libra sun sag moon scorpio venus and mercury (and dominant) and nobody has really seen me cry or sensitive and I feel like nobody rly knows me except for my brother, cousin, and two closest friends... but they kinda suck at opening up too, and my brother has enough psychological problems. I always get perfectly along with scorpios and capricorns and yin moons bc i understand how underrated and misinterpreted their suffer and pain are
Part 2 And there are these two friends: sag suns with scorpio/pisces moon… and they are so omg im sorry but its so freaking painful. They both have their problems but they both are so fckin shallow seriously. The pisces moon just doesnt understand what life is and is brutally ingenuous. And scorpio moon is such a b**** rly. She has a tough backstory her brother has always been a jerk (he’s mentally ill) And i though she would be great bc she always says she understands pain and etc.Part 3 And here comes the deal: I have been exposed to mentally ill ppl, ocd hysterical and completely evil people who happened to be my beloved family. At 14 I stopped having them and found out they were everything I didn’t expect them to be. I lost my whole childhood (wich happened to be my basic reason to live). At 15 I went to a sports school. They were our friends, we trusted them. One year goes by and once again I am betrayed by my friends and fall on the ground.Part 4 Then, comes the BEST part. As ive said im a scorpio venus. I fell in love at first sight with a boy that totally corresponded. Small detail: he had a gf. He now broke up with her so thats kinda nice (not to sound mean, rly) for me but whatever; I was 15 and I had been betrayed by everyone. At 16 I was dead inside. I didn’t get attached i didnt live i didnt like to be even awake i cries everyday before school and after school and before going to bed.Part 5 I even got to a point of cutting my arms bc i enjoyed knowing the pain i was going through was actually real and not “sumthin you have to go through, its life.” I met the scorpio moon. At first she seemed awesome. Until getting upset at the smallest thing. Im a scorpio dominant and i know i dont need to be like that. I know she just does this because shes immature and has no clue of life. Im sorry im doing this long ask but rly i need help. No one literally no one knows this.Part 6 No one knows i cry no one knows i ever even cut my arms. And no one even notices. Thank god tbh. No one knows and imagines what it is to cry and scream and DIE for a dude you don’t even know. I know it sounds exaggerated but its the truths. I cant fall in love with anybody else since im 15 and im 17 (turning 18 this year) I live in a house ik im moving out of but i dont know when. I live with my mom in my grandmothers and she is also mentally ill. My mom too is always mentally unstablePart 7 She’s been through everything no one should go through. My dad is f****d up with this house and always hides very well we actually don’t have lots of money. My brother is an amazing soul an exceptional person who fell in love almost 5 years ago and still has anxiety bc of what happened (he didn’t know her too) and has too many psychological problems. I’m stuck with myself and no one seems to understand. I’m so sorry for this post. I’m so, so sorry. It’s just I’m done. I’m tired of pplPart 8 Im tired of ppl making me cry Of ppl being shallow Ppl hurting me and seeing me as A B*TCH I just need someone that actually knows. That actually can tell me they understand me and they too hate it all like me. Im so sorry and thank you for having the patience to read this. ❤️💖———————————————————–
It sounds like you’re going through a really challenging time in your life. I know it can seem endless, and it can seem like everyone is out to get you. Once you feel betrayed, it can be hard to trust people again. It is all too easy to be stuck in our own extreme emotions. After losing faith in someone, it’s tempting to write off everyone in your life as fake, shallow, and naive. Constantly replaying the betrayal in your mind will only do you harm. It’ll only make you more angry and more likely to adopt the “me against the world” type of attitude. You’re 17. You’re still young. You still have a long life ahead of you, and it would be remiss of you to go through life with that sort of attitude. You’ve been wronged, and it is alright to acknowledge that, but you must now think about the situation with your heart, perhaps not so much with your heart. The heart can be easily mislead, easily angered, easily fooled, easily spiteful, easily misguided. Consider moving into a stage of forgiveness. Forgiveness in this sense is not saying that those people’s actions were ok, forgiveness is more for your own sake. Start to detach yourself from the pain those actions caused you. Continuing to obsess over the transgressions of others will hinders your own progress. If the wound is to ever heal, you must stop picking at the scab. Let yourself move on. One way you can do that is to write everything down (as you have bravely shared with me, a stranger) on a piece of paper. Write out every hurt, every frustration, everything that keeps you up at night. Then tear it up, burn it, or throw it away. It clears the energy. It’s no longer a problem, it’s out of your head, and you are free to move on. Detach yourself from people you can’t trust. If they’re actively causing drama or unpleasantness, leave the situation. If you can, slowly stop reaching out to them, or say you don’t feel like hanging out. If you want closure, you could meet up with the, to talk. It’s harder when they’re your family members because you can’t really escape them, but you can still with them and talk out your problems. You can say “I’m having a hard time understanding why you did this …” or “I’m confused about this situation…” or “I felt hurt when this happened…”. You must also realize that most people aren’t complete bad. In a lot of what you described, I couldn’t help but think that perhaps some of those people aren’t actively out to get you. I think you may be too close to the situation. I would advise you to get an outside perspective. You reached out to me, and that is a great start, but I only have a limited understanding of the situation, and only from your perspective. I think the best course of action is to seek real, professional help. As someone who harms themself and who is surrounded by the effects of mental illness, I would seriously consider seeking out a therapist or counselor. I am not a professional. I do not know you personally, and so the advice I can offer is very limited. Seeking someone who has gone to school for psychology will be able to help you much more than I can. It is brave of you to share this, and it’s a good sign that you’re willing to reach out to others. Consider asking for professional’s help in your area. Likely your school has access to counselors and can refer you to a full-time therapist.
I really do wish you the best 🌸

tw fuckin uuuhhhhhhhh.. pedophilia, ptsd, ocd, pocd, csa
likes are v appreciated if you read it but not required?

so not to be all welcome to my twisted mind or anything but i was walking home just now and suddenly started laugh/crying bc i thought about how with all the weird bad horrifying shit that my brain makes me think it's kind of amazing that i still.. exist? like most people dont actually understand ocd, but it makes you think about about your worst nightmares over and over again and then makes you feel guilty for thinking about them.. as if you wanted to think about it. ive been having breakdowns thinking i was a pedophile since i was in the fifth grade just because i liked kids my age instead of adults. how does a 10 year old confess to anyone that they're worried they're going to be a pedophile lmao??.. they don't
so ive just been dealing with this shit my whole life. i regularly have trauma dreams about having sex with my parents, and wake up feeling like reality took a step to the left. and then i get up, carry on, answer the phone if they call me, and pretend like im fine, cause.. what else am i gonna do lol? kill myself?
anyway i dont even think ill ever be able to talk about everything, even to a therapist, without sugarcoating it. ive gotten used to talking vaguely about this stuff, enough that sometimes ill mention it to a friend and not remember how disturbing it is until they start distancing themself from me afterwards. i definitely shouldnt be posting this online but like. idk it's therapeutic.
im not sure what the point of this post was tbh but i was just thinking about it, especially since my abnormal psych lectures on ocd and ptsd. i used to think i just had anxiety and depression, but now im sure i have ptsd, depression, and ocd. i think i maybe dont actually have anxiety or adhd. which is really weird considering they're the only things i have official diagnoses for? i have informal confirmation of depression and ocd from my therapist, but there wasn't really a point in doing the paperwork. and i never talked enough about my ptsd stuff with her for her to know about that. even though she was the one that called the cops on my stepdad for sexually abusing me so i think she really should have asked more questions about it
#the tws are under the read more.. sorry i dont have the energy to tag them all again here#personal#delete later

what's a song that's touched your heart recently? describe one of your best friends in great detail (and maybe tag them if they have a tumblr). list three foods that you like that most other people don't like. what's your favorite weather? do you celebrate halloween? have you ever met an animal that probably wasn't an animal, but a spirit in disguise? tell me about a memory that makes you feel calmness.
-so uh actually I was listening to the whole of Ranbow earlier and crying goddamnit Kesha i love you I’m waiting for my spaceship too. But a song that’s actually gone deeper than that recently is 3WW by Alt-J. So i know they’re generally seen as a bit pretentious and too wavey and all, but i honestly find their music so relaxing and interesting/pleasant to let play into my ear, especially on buses.
one of my best friends…… hmmm. okay. she doesnt have tumblr. She’s of a vastly fluctuating height (sometimes a good deal taller than me, other times very small) and I’ve known her for 14 years. We grew apart briefly and then back together. She talks to me about musicals and anxiety and OCD, i talk to her about eating disorders and abstractions and nostalgia. I introduced her to A Very Potter Musical when we were 9 and we spent all night watching it and doing quizzes under the blanket on her sister’s bed. Her sister was out at a party or something. I have so many small memories about her. I wrote my first song about her. I don’t remember most of it but there’s a part that goes: If you need to check the door I’ll have the key, and if you’re scared of numbers i can lick your feet, and if you need to shout we’ll find an empty street. I could gush about my friends all day tbh. theyre all amazing. all of you.
1: black liquorice, 2: raisins, 3: kale (i dont know, are these really that controversial? i probably like weirder stuff. send me foods and ill tell you if i like them. idk. that sounds like a youtuber thing)
warm rain
not really? i wish, though. I want to carrrrrve pumpkinssss and gett candyy
probably. id say in particular theres this one cat that used to live down the road. now i say cat. this cat was….. royal. i swear. his name was Haakon and he was a sight to behold. I feel like he was a prince of some realm unknown and i hope he finds his way home one day if he so desires. god he was majestic. wow
staying up all night watching bootleg musicals on youtube with that friend. its such a warm place to go back to. especially when we did that in winter because her house was right on the edge of the forest at the top of a hill and they always got snow and their house was always warm, so we’d talk through the night and then, with the boundless energy of children, get up, have hot chocolate, feed her rabbits, and go outside and play in the snow

I just thought I'd finally share this. I'm an undiagnosed Aspie ( someone with Asperger's syndrome or ASD ), I've had this speculation for a long time now and have actually made an "about me" list. I'll be seeking a formal diagnosis hopefully next week. The thought of it is killing me or rather, making me really apprehensive that people might see me as just ""seeking attention"". It's nerve-racking tbh.
I always felt I was different, felt like this was more than just being anti-social ; something I was teased for during high school. Making friends is difficult even though someone would advice me to just be more “social” I still don’t understand how.
I avoid small conversation and eye contact, I would look at the person’s lips or mostly just shift my gazes to the side or whatever’s behind them. Why? IDK, looking into someone's eyes feels awkward and invasive. If I do talk, I am soft spoken but I don’t think I’m monotonous? I do have a low voice though. I go “off” when there’s too much social interaction a.k.a a shut down, I feel weary and just want to retreat somewhere I’m familiar with.
I love puns but some jokes, I need context to. People misunderstand me most of the time. I rehearse what I have to say so I won't screw up but I think I do. This is why I reply slow during IMs ahaha not because I'm ignoring you but because I gotta say things right, and why I don’t like RPing over IMs. I get really pressured and anxious.
I stim, yes, I rub my fingers together when I'm nervous, I pick at the skin on my lip, around my nails & at scabs, sometimes unaware I'm doing it. ( sorry this could be really disgusting to some ). I stare into space and talk to myself. out loud. in public. Sometimes even laugh when I remember something funny, which probably weird people out. I get upset when people touch my stuff and place it somewhere else.
I’m a visual learner! I prefer images over texts but when there’s too much happening in one picture, I get overwhelmed. Like, in video-games, they have this new compass implemented rather than a mini map. I HATE IT! and it messes me big time because there are so many things happening in one straight line hovering above the screen, it took me a while to understand how it works but I still hate it and wish they bring back the mini map.
Emotions are hard for me to express. I’d probably say “ oh this food’s great !” with a blank expression. but I CAN read people, so yeah I can tell if someone’s being fake or not. But I can't read body language well.
When I was a kid, my mum would say that I’m sensitive and weird. The voices of people around me tend to go faster in my head back then, it still happens at present but not as often. Did that make sense? I have a sensitive sense of smell, I hate flowers’ scents, for example.
I had meltdowns and just explode into tantrums. As I grew older those meltdowns lessen, but as an adult I can be very irritable. Remembering those episodes is really embarassing btw.
Obsessions or "Special interests" include: Vampires, Figures, Bill Willingham’s Fables, Deadpool, Pokemon & the Nintendo 2ds & 3ds line. I have a whole collection of vampire books, lore and history related ( I obsess over Vlad the Impaler haha! ), while Deadpool merch litter my room. I get very excited about vampires the most. Example: Overwatch has a new halloween event, they have 3 vampire related skins and I need & want to get them all! I was also very excited and giddy at the theory of a blood moon vamp brawl lmao. As for the Nintendo 3ds thing, I buy all variations of it when I can, I don’t specifically play a lot of games there, I just love how it looks and how the buttons feel? I still have to get the new 2ds XL,the texture on the cover looks sleek! Pokemon has been an obsession since I was a kid! I have the cards, the games and some merch.
I’m also very addicted to video games since I was a kid but that seems very common even to neurotypical people... right? I LOVE videogames! And enjoy watching video game related content on youtube too, not just playthroughs but news and stuff like that. The latest titles,consoles and how those games were developed.
Low key feel that I hold a special interest in Adam, my OC. I am obsessed with drawing him, I research a lot for him more than my other OCs and I get very carried away with questions and memes. Possibly because he's a lesser known vampire species ( an amalgamation of the aswang and the strigoi ). May just be favouritism but I dont know, feels different. *Oh yeah! here’s a trivia: Gabriel, his son, is an Aspie lmao. He wasn’t easy to write though.
I overshare or provide too much information especially when it’s something I’m really passionate about (as seen above).
Do fidget toys work on me? LMAO yes, some do! it keeps me from picking at my skin mostly, they also work as sensory toys so there’s that. I like the fidget cube and have a couple of fidget spinners but I need a specific feel for it, like the center has to have this indentation for your thumb, it just feels right for me somehow.
Growing up undiagnosed is pretty difficult especially in an environment where mental health is taboo where people claim that I'm seeking attention or in our language 'papansin'. For reference: I'm turning 25 and have scored a whopping 163/200 on an AQ test scoring above average on ASD and OCD, while my neurotypical results were below average 52/200. Of course I have to seek a psych for a formal diagnosis. But you know whats worse? being an aspie AND having depression RIP

Marcel! I was wondering if you could use your kinning powers for a good cause and tell me what you think Sherlock would get on the Myers Briggs assessment. Or what you got if you've taken it. I've honestly been thinking about it all day and I keep running in circles, especially over judging vs. perceiving. I honestly can't decide and so I can't follow the train of thought to it's conclusion and it's just. Driving me mad. But I would absolutely take your opinion as fact if you have one.
idk if i can help because i took it multiple times and got different things and frankly dont believe in it as a truly set personality determinate and tbh i think sherlock would feel exactly the same mdsghsdfkjghdsg i mean im torn in thinking hed think astrology was fake but maybe thinking this was more real because theres an actual test and qualities but IDK...but like going on the criteria itself, ill try and make a deduction? (i dont know shit about like the stereotypes about each one (i dont even know how people who make memes about them can remember them all like kjdfhgldfg WOW kudos to them at least)) im just going by what i can find online & what i remember from psych 101 last year ok so:Extrovert, definitely. these are all based on work related things and sherlock is very much the one going FAST LOUD AND CENTER OF ATTENTION in his line of workokay here’s where mbti is fake to me- he’s both sensing AND intuition! that’s like, the entire crux of his line of work, he uses his senses and then he intuits from that. if i absolutely have to pick one im gonna say N for intuition but imo i dont think you can parse sherlock’s intuition and sensing from his method of workingI’m gonna go ahead and sat T for thinking, though there is an element of personal moral in sherlock’s decisions and the way he operates that is in the feeling category (again also im applying this to the way he works since thats what mbti is for)definitely gonna say P for the last one because as much as sherlock is OCD/Autistic and probably likes rules i think he likes his OWN personal rules and overall likes to be more spontaneous which is why he lives his life the way he does, as a freelance detective (though apparently this question is aimed at the like outside part of life buuuuuuut his life and work are pretty intertwined *cough* john *cough*)so my final verdict is ESTP/ENTP ! i hope that helps whatever you were going for ? also i used this chart to help me- and the ESTP one sounds especially true to sherlock
#anyway not to kin here- i mean i know you asked me for my kinning powers but the first time i took mbti i got ESFP so kjdhgjlkdfsghdklh wow#montagequeen

I'm not sure but I think I might have BPD, until I can talk to my doctor about it do you have any advice on how I might have a clearer understanding whether or not I do have it, like smaller symptoms, tells, etc. Thank you
hey anon! this is quite a lot, but i hope it helps
ok so, i know some people say “oh, just google” but tbh i dont trust google for this because
1. most stuff you’ll find are related to “how to deal with a borderline relative/partner/friend” and not enough about how to make the people with bpd feel better and
2. most articles and stuff talk about the major symptoms, but not everybody experiences the same thing, and some people have a milder disorder than others. as for the smaller symptoms, it’s harder to find stuff on
tbh when i started looking up bpd (in august last year) before talking about it with my doctor, i was really frustrated, cuz not only did those make me feel bad and abusive, but they didn’t give me information.
what helped me a lot was really trying to pay attention to my emotions, my mood changes. because a lot of doctors get bpd mixed up with bipolar disorder, it’s good for us to evaluate this too. one thing that i was told that’s different between both is that in bipolar disorder the mood changes can last for days, while in bpd they’re usually (but not always) in small intervals. sometimes it even lasts for a few minutes.
one thing that might really help not only with anger/sadness/etc relief, but also with understanding those symptoms is writing a journal. doesn’t even need to be anything extensive, just something small about what youre feeling will help. and then when you gather all of that, you can analyse it.
now, as i said bpd is often different for different people. what i’m mentioning is mostly my own experience and what signs helped me realize i have bpd and talk to my doctor about it:
- an intense fear of being abandoned. i have a really big history of going into really deep depression after a breakup, being it romantic or not. any thought of being alone completely breaks me. which brings me to the jealousy. in my case, it isnt really a vengeful kind of jealousy, but more sad and angry, because that person who i idolize “is leaving me” or at least that’s what it looks like to me. that reminds me of when i was 16, and idolized my math teacher. she was helping me through my depression and ocd, and was amazing. then every single time i would see her talking to another student i would get really upset, have panic attacks, cry, and just want to interfere and stop it. i didnt know why, but somehow i had to be the only one she liked. once a friend of mine was talking to her about me and i had a major episode, because i Had to know if she was talking shit about me i just Had To.
- i tend to abandon everyone else, unconsciously, whenever i idolize someone. usually everything i do or want to do is related to that person. but then out of nowhere they make me hate them for a day or so, and then i love them again.
- impulsive behavior is a really big sign too. in my case, it was never anything like spending too much money, eating too much, having lots of sex, etc. mine were always unnoticed by me, actually, until i started thinking about it. since i was a kid, i always started a sport, dance, any class, and would drop after a month or so. ive tried literally everything the school had to offer, and every time it would get less exciting or id get sad, id drop it. when i was 10, i was attending an english language course, and we had an exam after just a week of classes. within a minute of the start of the exam, i started crying and asking to leave. the coordinator came and talked to me, telling me it would be ok to do it, but i didnt care. so i cried so much they had to call my mom. and i dropped it. now, in 2015, i started an architecture program at uni. it was fine at first, but then i had a major breakdown due to a person, and i decided to drop everything. so no more architecture. then i tried engineering. 1 month, something happened, i had a suicide attempt, ended up at the hospital, dropped the program. so pay attention to these behaviors, even if they seem normal to you. mine seemed like it because i justified it saying that i was just looking for “my calling”, but nothing would ever be that calling, because i wouldnt let it.
- overwhelming emotions, everything being exaggerated. always black or white, never gray. it you love it, you idolize it. if you dislike it, you hate it with everything in you. not only with people and things, but also ideas. and you cant understand neutrality. when someone is neutral with you, even if not being negative, it is like an insult anyway, and you lose it. and these are emotions that are terribly hard to control. you want to control them, but you cant. you try, but it’s never enough. and no one understands why youre freaking out over something as simple as dropping your ice cream, or getting your hair wet. small things like these have an enormous effect on people with bpd. and people always say “youre overreacting!” but honestly, not really. we feel that way. it may not be a big deal to them, but to us it feels like a stake to the heart.
- but also feelings of numbness. it took me a long time to realize i have this, because i honestly thought it was normal, everybody had it. and for a while related it to being sad (maybe theres 2 types of sad, feeling too more and not at all?). i usually describe it as feeling like im in a movie, like i know people and things are there and i can see and touch them, but i cant feel them. like im putting my hands in ice cold water, and i know its cold but i cant feel the cold. like i know the world exists but does it really? most of the time, when im not dissociating, i dont even remember what it feels like, because it feels like nothing.
- trouble expressing feelings and thoughts. idk if many people have this, but i have it quite often. somehow i cant put to words what is really going on with me and even when i do, people dont usually understand it.
- indecisiveness. seriously, i cant even decide what underwear to wear. i say i cant, because it’s not like i don’t want to, it just takes the whole of me to make a decision. whether it is a big one (lately ive been struggling with deciding where to go for my exchange program) or a small one (what to eat for dinner), it’s always a huge fight in my head, and most times it expresses itself in terrible ways. every time im faced with a choice, i end up crying, panicking, and most times decide to give up and not choose anything at all. sometimes i cant even choose to give up, i just lay there crying and screaming and hating everything. it’s a nightmare.
- a lot of anger when things dont go as expected, or when feeling abandoned, as well as extreme fear, and not being able to trust easily. but a lot of times being very kind too.
im trying to think of something else but dont really remember rn. these are the most important symptoms for me though, and what made me realize i have it. but really, if possible, write a journal, write things you feel, bad or good, anything can be useful.
you can also learn more about it and/or find some good helpful stuff here, here, here, here, here, here and here
