#tw: self injury

[dumpster-fire-deluxe]

What stage of burnout is it when you try to injure yourself or you don't prevent harm because it could get you some time off work?

I've already slipped my bike on ice hoping to break or sprain something and that didn't work. Saying that out loud does not sound sane and makes me wonder if I'm deeper into burnout than I can see.

I need to know how much time I still have until full burnout. I want to squeeze as many weeks of salary out of this job as I can before I'll reach the point of having to quit for my own well-being again. If there's still a few more stages to go, that's good news, as long as I can keep my sanity intact.

I've also been different socially, I'm curt and mean to everyone but also too apathetic to give it much thought. My mind literally feels like it's degrading. I just need to keep it together until May and try to slow down the burnout process as much as I can

Skylar Grey - Invisible

When I first heard this, I thought it can only be interpreted as a woman being ignored by her love but the more I think about this... the more I see it applicable to broader contexts - such as a person being always ignored in work groups, in their family, among their peers... Also my case. *sighs*

Ah yes. When the protective dad-figure beats up the son-figure's past tormentor only for said tormentor to make a point(?), because the tormentor is the catalyst of Gotham's chaos, and seeing two pieces of the debris from said chaos come together to try and be less broken is amusing. The butt of Gotham's joke, if you will.

I just felt like illustrating a scene from a possible future Harvey-Jason-centered fic...

It's our favorite poor little meow-meow, Voice of the Broken!

Design notes:

Based on a ring-necked pheasant: gaudy fowl bred and released by aristocracy, who hunt them as leisure.

As a part of Slayer's psyche, represents Resignation and Grief.

Molting in patches and scratched from self-harm.

Wings cut off since long ago, body emaciated and small for his (seeming) lack of confidence and power.

Inspired by Karma Karmeleon's Broken, his claws were filed off in willing submission

Inspired by @itsonlypolite 's Broken's clothes, mine always carries a thick blanket, which is often slung across the shoulders like a priest's stola. Brokes mopes and needs comfort, or preaches and is reverent.

As Tower decreed, she is brillant radiance and Slayer is quiet shadow: Broken wears black. In a twisted way, he thinks he's doing what's best for Slayer by giving in and giving up.

As a classic groveling submissive to his classic mean Dominant goddess, he does enjoy subservience and being controlled by the Tower. Which is why he wears a collar with a ring big enough to fit Tower’s finger. (His neck is bright white… almost like a painted target…. almost like a collar was meant to be there ~ )

In Apotheosis, the ring grows to fit her even larger finger. His stola turns white for devotion to her.

In Cage, he allies with the Princess (white trousers and sympathy necklace of chains) and thoroughly scolds everyone for their inconsiderate and violent urges (red stola: a passionate preacher indeed).

For Tower!Fury, his collar ring broke and tarnished. For Adversary!Fury his blanket/stola is colored like Fury!Cold's: White (Princess sympathy) going into red (passion and emotion guiding) going into black (strength from knowing what you are: The Long Quiet).

In Wild, besides the repaired clothes and poppy flower crown, he gets a ribbon as gentle, adoring decoration from the Princess.

What chapter/ chapters tell Mithrun’s backstory? or if it’s not too many could you post those pages? I read the whole manga but for some reason I have no memory of reading about Mithrun’s backstory and I’ve been confused about how he got to be the way he is. I read the wiki but I want to go back and read the actual part of the manga that will explain this to me. Thank you!

The version Kabru tells is from chapter 62, might be a little confusing cause it's told between other things happening as they await for the canaries to save them. Its not really short enough for me to post the whole thing here plus its a great chapter I recommend rereading. (It's also the kabumisu canon foot fetish chapter)

As the chapter cover implies this chapter is a VERY condensed and cleaned up version Kabru made for us (for Laios actually)

So it's a "unreliable narrator" version of his backstory and things like the woman he wanted might have been overstated in Kabrus version cause as he says her

It's just a good point to make people invested.

That being said we also get some more things about his backstory from extras! (I recommend reading chapter 62 before the extras tho)

First there's Mithrun's own adventurer's bible extra

With this right away we see the story Kabru was telling left out several things that were important, like how Mithrun WASN'T the perfect youth. And how his jealousy for his brother was greater than just wanting to have his girl.

Another one is Milsiril's Extra

Here we have a better perspective of how he was perceived. And how she helped him get back on his feet and join the canaries again after utaya, Kabru's version skips completely over the fact he needed 20 years of rehab to be able to come back lmao. Now for daydream hour extras we have this one that shows just HOW MESSY his recovery actually was.

And that the brother he dismissed was the one to help him. And Milsiril helping with his rehabilitation once she had retired from the canaries.

Here's Mithruns timeline if you want to check when and how far apart things happened!

I don't think I missed anything.. hope this helps!

Readerbot’s Alternate Ending: crushed beneath rubble as the PizzaPlex is burned, they have a sort of dying dream before going offline for the last time

(Dialogue is from BMO’s ‘death’ scene, it’s rlly sad for absolutely no reason and I think abt it a lot)

not really lore, but some more serious shapeshifter info. I'm no writer, but I do enjoy defining how my characters and sonas physically work.

TW: BLOOD, INJURIES, SELF-HARM

first/previous/next

…that?

The self-harm is more accidental I’d say, but it’s still what it is. By this I mean that: Lee wouldn’t hurt himself on purpose, although he also doesn’t mind when the world does it for him. His only sin is that he doesn’t stop it.

Also I’m sorry if it seems unnecessarily bloody but at this point I’m just using this comic as a punching bag - to get rid of some tension. My head is a mess lately.

Her eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he apologized, not knowing what he was apologizing for. She had been paying blood tribute since she was six years old. Of course, it was less than because she was still learning and still young. Christina had still been there and the two of them could feed the magic instead of just one. "What did he warn you about?" She couldn't help but ask, face pressed against the ground as it seeped life back into her, helping her. She fed it and it fed her right back. Slower. But it did. Sometimes it just took...time.

A few long cuts were on her arms and her legs, wounds slowly scabbing before they would knit together. It would just take time, the dark streaks of dried blood in the grass and the sharp dagger to the side proving just how much she had given this time.

As he knelt down she reached out, hand on his knee, rubbing it reassuringly at his worry. "There is nothing for you to worry about darling. It's...part of the process." She felt groggy from the bloodlose but that was what it was- grogginess that she was used to. She wasn't concerned. No more than one would be after performing a hard spell- because that's really what it was. Tribute.

As he spoke and pulled out the vile she smiled softly at him, even her lips pale. "That would be nice." She breathed as if he was offering a back rub. To her, this wasn't out of the ordinary. In fact, it was something she did every few weeks. She gave his leg a soft squeeze.

Ulysses approached Trinity, concern etched on his face as he took in the sight before him. The lush grass beneath her seemed stained with something dark, a stark contrast against her pale skin. He had dismissed Devlin's warning about Trinity's state, thinking it couldn't be true. Now, guilt gnawed at him as he realized he should have paid more attention.

"I'm so sorry, Trinity," Ulysses said regretfully. "Devlin warned me about this, but I didn't want to believe it. I should have listened. I should have been there for you."

He knelt down beside her, careful not to disturb her fragile state. Part of him was frustrated about how Trinity was not willing to tell him when she was at her limits or how she took on too much responsibility, all because what- her mother left this place for her? The longer he was here, the more he was getting the idea that her mother was not the best role model for Trinity if she has to suffer just to seem worthy. Ulysses would have given the woman an earful but- she was dead.

"Trinity, I have an idea," Ulysses said, his voice gentle and hopeful. "I remember an old healing charm from our family's traditions. It involves using powdered pearls and seaweed extract. It might not work, but would you be willing to let me try? It could bring you some relief."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small vial containing a mixture. "This is all I have with me right now. If you're open to it, I can apply it to the affected areas. It might help with the pain and promote healing."
