#yes I'm addicted

[damiannasworld]

My brain the entire day:

🎶 "Otetaas toiset samanlaiset

Saattaa olla että riipaisen

Seitin ohuet tänään kietaisen

Otetaas toiset, toiset, toiset" 🎶 🔊

[scintillatingshortgirl19]

gee i wonder if the issue could be at all related to the fact that the current treatment plan for his chronic pain consists solely of FUCKING IBUPROFEN

people on low dose naltrexone: we're not like those guys on high dose naltrexone for addictions. I'm tired of being confused for them

[ID: a blad cat staring in the corner with text saying"[sobbing]"]

.....I am those people

why are people on LDN so obsessed with distancing themselves from us instead of dismantling the stigma around taking naltrexone? why are you guys just abandoning us? why do you think your chronic pain is better than my addiction? why do you think you're better than me? more worthy of support than me? less worth of stigma than me?

you get to explain "oh don't worry, I'm not like them" to doctors and I dont because I am them. instead of realizing that's wrong, that treating people poorly because they have an addiction is wrong, you try to distance yourself and naltrexone from addiction entirely. you don't want to be associated with us. it hurts.

To make up for all the trouble their prank caused, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold accompany Martian Manhunter in his hunt for the goo monster behind his choco addiction after it escapes to Earth before J'onn could completely obliterate it.

The three locate then track it to a small town called Amity Park. Now they just need to find the host amongst all these...

Oh never mind, J'onn's found it. In the high-school cheerleader fervently brandishing an engagement ring at the extremely flustered and slightly unnerved town hero.

Feel free to ignore if this is intruding but I remember you posting about dealing with caffeine addiction and I hope you're doing ok <3 Addiction is really hard to deal with so I hope everything is going alright for you!

!! thank you for checking in <3333

i haven't cut it out completely (i really don't think i'd be able to) but i'm still doing much better, i've cut down from 6 shots per cup to only 2. i've also changed my sleep/eating habits so now i don't feel like i need the caffeine as much because i just don't feel as shit anymore.

it's been very nice :3

Snowflame, again? Roy, stay away!

Harley: I have no idea why you keep bringing Roy on these trips.

Jason: He's part of the team.

Harley: Just saying, heroin addicts can relapse—

Roy: Can we not have this conversation in front of me?

Artemis chuckled.

Artemis: Hopefully, the mask will protect Arsenal.

Harley: Arsenal! That's your name! Either way, if you feel that temptation, just remember I'm here to knock some sense into you.

Harley nodded and then opened the door to the mansion. Roy groaned as Bizarro patted him on the back.

Harley walked with Jason and his team into a party filled with low-tier drug lords and dealers, all wearing face masks to avoid any contact highs.

Harley: Is that a table of cocaine?

As the guitar riff began to play, Harley and the group spotted the table.

Harley: God dammit! No, no, not him!

Artemis: Where's that guitar coming from?

Harley spun Roy around.

Harley: All right, Arsenal, go outside.

Roy: I'm wearing a face mask—I can handle this.

Jason: Let him stay for now; the mask is pretty effective.

Harley: Stick close to me, then. Actually, stay behind me.

Roy: I can manage.

A drug dealer, munching on a croissant, spotted Roy and waved.

Drug Dealer: Roy, is that you? Hey man, if you ever want to start up again, I'm easy to find.

Harley and the group looked at Roy not even needing to saying anything.

Roy (nodding): Yeah, I think I’ll just stay behind you.

Artemis noticed a man in a red wrestler-like outfit at the head of the table and chuckled.

Artemis: Um, taking a guess, but is the guy dressed like an ‘80s wrestler snorting a mountain of cocaine the one with the flash drive?

Harley (sighing with regret): Snowflame, over here!

Snowflame looked up and jumped onto the table causing cocaine to splash the patrons at the table, in the face.

Snowflame: HARLEY QUINN! YOU'VE RETURNED FOR ANOTHER BATTLE WITH SNOWFLAME!

Harley: I can’t deal with this guy. Every single time.

Jason (nodding in agreement): It’s a lot.

Snowflame: I RELISH YOUR RETURN, PLEBS! YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME AND TAKE MY PRECIOUS COCAINE? THAT PLAN WILL BE TERMINATED!

Artemis: Oh… you guys weren’t joking about him.

Jason nodded causing Artemis to burst into laughter, nearly toppling over at the realization that a cocaine-powered supervillain was real. Bizarro was just along for the ride and patted Artemis on the back with a smile.

Snowflame: Ah, you've brought more members! Which of you shall join my cocaine brigade?! Red-headed, busty woman, you may join me!

Artemis (still laughing): Busty? I'm curvy and toned!

Jason: That’s what you took away from this?

Artemis: You’d be a fool to think I’m taking any of this seriously.

Jason: Fair enough.

Harley: Flame, I’m not bringing you potential victims, and my friend behind me is definitely not up for grabs.

Harley raised her arms to shield Roy.

Roy (aggravated): We’re not friends right now. Honestly, I really don't want to know you.

Bizarro stepped in front of Harley to protect Roy.

Roy (annoyed): Et tu, Bizarro? Really?

Bizarro: I mean, she wasn’t a drug counselor for no reason.

Roy: Can I please just shoot the guy with an arrow again?!

Snowflame: Your puny little darts won’t affect me this time, ginger man! When you mess with Snowflame in his habitat, you get what's coming to you!

Harley: CUT OFF THE SHITTY GUITAR RIFF!

Snowflame pouted as he snapped his fingers, ending the epic guitar music. Artemis looked around, genuinely impressed.

Artemis (clapping): Bravo. That was awesome!

Snowflame bowed, then jumped off the table towards the group, but Harley kicked up her leg to shoo him away, mostly for Roy's sake.

Artemis (cheering): Woo, Snowflame!

Jason (chuckling): Artemis, don’t encourage him.

Harley: This guy gives me a headache every time I have to see him. I came here for the thumb drive, you idiot! You're not auctioning it off!

Snowflame (hands on his hips): Why not? I could get a pretty penny to buy my precious COCAINE and then snort more of my magic powder.

Harley (in disbelief): I can’t believe you sound insane even when you're being normal.

Snowflame: I AM SIMPLY ON ANOTHER WAVE LENGTH! FOR I CAN NEVER DIE! COCAINE PROVIDES ME WITH EVERLASTING LIFE—OW!

Artemis handed Jason his gun back after shooting Snowflame in the thigh. Shocked, Snowflame doesn’t get a chance to utter more insane ramblings as Jason shot him multiple times for extra measure. Snowflame collapses but didn't die and the party goers stood idly by not invested in helping him.

Artemis (joking): I was getting a contact high just from his ramblings. This mask can only handle so much.

Harley: Cool, I’ll go grab the thumb drive. Jason, Artemis, follow me. Roy and Bizarro—

Bizarro held up his hand and dragged Roy out of the mansion.

Roy: I feel like I’m being treated like a freaking child!

Artemis (calling out): We just want to make sure you don’t relapse!

[niyana-the-ambiguous-mobian]

This whole sequence lasts almost two minutes and there's so much going on with this one situation XD.

[emoelmoisgay]

why isn't there LMS stuff on tumblr on q we lived for that shit

hey do you think next time i'm stuck in another pearl-clutching hysteria fest about how cell phones are ruining The Children i should tell them cell phone bans are the technological equivalent of abstinence-only sex education

[completeoveranalysis]

Of Yūko's customers, which ones you find most memorable?

Most memorable customers, you say?

I hope you don't mind me using this as an excuse to make an arbitrary list by way of answer. (Arbitrary lists, my beloved...)

Yuuko's Customers In Order Of How Well I Remember Them

(Though I will exclude all the bigger characters for fairness. So, Syaoran, Watanuki, Lava Lamp, Fai, Kurogane, Doumeki, Himawari, Seishirou, Ashura, Tomoyo, etc, etc. Regular xxxHolic customers only!)

10. Birdcage Customer

What was this about? Was he even a customer? We just don't know!

But the thing most memorable about this whole situation is the most pressing question: WHY DO YOU HAVE EVIL WOLVERINE'S SYMBOL ALL OVER YOUR HOME? It's even on his front sign!

WHO ARE YOU?????

9. The Liar

Mostly at the bottom because I can't resist the irony. She's the first big customer we see - but what do we really know about her? Absolutely nothing, because she lied every step of the way!

What can we really remember about someone who never actually told us anything about herself?

Though I guess you could say her ending causes quite an impact.

8. Monkey's Paw Customer

Did I forget this had happened? Perhaps!

She's one of those cases where the cause and effect are so clear that the rest of the cast might as well not even be there - and I think most of her story IS told through scenes entirely from her perspective.

I think the most memorable thing about her is the Sheer Audacity of hunting down a monkey's paw and being convinced that, actually, she already knows what it does so it can't possibly go wrong. Love that for her. Would kill for this confidence.

(Not literally - but she kind of did that also)

7. Ame Warashi

Her impeccable style. Her winning charm. She's an icon.

I had just completely forgotten that she was also a customer at one point.

She makes up for it for being absolutely great in every scene she was in, but what are you going to do in a list based purely on how well I remember the customer part? Woops! My bad!

6. Karasu Tengu

They get huge points for this being a Central Event in the narrative, but also I completely forgot they were in this as customers. The entire plot scenario? Incredible! Character defining! Et cetera!

The actual Karasu Tengu themselves? Woops! I forgot they were there. My fault though!

5. The Computer Addict

I love this one. She's so ahead of the curve that she was addicted to the internet back when you had to be on the pc to use it. Honestly, relatable. I also went through a phase like this as a young teen, so the struggle was real.

Little did we all know that in the present day the accessibility of the internet would be so rampant that she literally wouldn't even need that pc to indulge her habits anymore. Oops!

But that aside Yuuko is peak during this arc and I love everything about it. Especially the fact that Yuuko just hangs out on message boards in her free time? Wonderful information. I can do so much with this.

4. Oops! All Ghosts

Another incredible storyline. The twists are preserved by some sneaky panels from Watanuki's perspective and Yuuko's morally grey approach to the whole situation is wonderful. What if you wanted to get rid of the ghost in your home, only to find out that YOU were the ghost all along? It has the DISTRESS. It has the CONFLICT. It has the TRAGEDY. 10/10

3. Haunted Photo

Another customer with Peak Audacity. Trying to wish away the consequences of your own actions? Committing something awful but being unable to actually look at the proof yourself? The ultimate wish being an anxiety inducing curse that is sure to fail? Love it.

It's also one of those juicy situations where the morality of the situation basically drives itself. The customer causes her own problems and can't actually be saved - and doesn't deserve it either.

And honestly I think CLAMP should get a lot of credit for having the haunting effects of a photograph slowly turning around in a purely static medium. They really pulled that off.

I still love the evil smile in the photograph the last time we see it. PURE memorable.

2. The Twin

WE LOVE HER? WE LOVE HER.

Being consistently cut off and run down and overwritten and slowly clawing your way out of the situation through the sheer desire to be your own person?

And then the answer is a haircut?

It's another glimpse into the side of Yuuko that really does try cut people a good bargain. The wish could have been taken in any number of ways, but Yuuko went for the easiest and most affordable way that would genuinely help the customer actually fix her life on her own. She didn't specifically need supernatural help for this, but it was the route that presented itself, and it was the one that got her the help she needed when she needed it. Very hitsuzen, very relatable, very identifiable storyline that sticks with you.

Just like the final entry!

1. Kohane

Listen do I even need to explain this one.

Kohane is like THE storyline. It's THE example of what it's all about. It's not entirely supernatural in nature but completely heart wrenching. It has Watanuki playing a central role in fixing the problem, setting up for his future (or at least, what I assume it will be). It ties xxxHolic to Tsubasa and hints at a secret tool that will help with someone later.

And it has Kohane! You can't go wrong.

what louis did to lestat and what louis did to armand are connected and that's important to the story but also. it is simply not the same. nothing louis did excuses armand's behaviour, that's not how anything works, but he did not "cross a line" or "poke at armand," he weaponized armand's history of abuse to belittle and demean him. nothing armand said to louis came close- the equivalent would have been "oooh, i'm such a stupid bitch that my husband can beat me half to death and i'll keep crawling back for more even when it endangers my daughter!" it's retraumatizing and deeply destabilizing to hear that shit from your partner. and in response armand should have been like "well this man sucks when he's high and he's high all the time, so i'm bouncing" but if he'd done that we wouldn't have a story, would we?

edit: i've come back to give armand credit for "claudia didn't love you like we did/do. ps. u used her to distract from your own hurt feelings" that shit does hit in a similar way. however "the ways someone hurt you have left you contemptible and weak. they scrawled 'dirty and annoying' all over your soul in red ink and it's never coming off" is just outstanding work. timeless

[xx-your-new-obsession-xx]

Just a friendly reminder that you never know what people are going through behind closed doors. It's been an emotional week for so many, to say the least and it's reminded me that showing kindness, caring and compassion for others, even when they might be doing things that you don't necessarily understand or agree with, is always a positive choice, especially when they are acting out of character and not like the person you've come to know.

People struggle in so many different ways and more times than not, they can get very good at hiding their pain, to the point where no one realizes how bad things have gotten until it's too late.

🩷

Don't hesitate to check on people if you're worried about them and let them know you care! It might not seem like much but to someone who is really going through it, it might just make all the difference in the world to them.

🩷

Choose love, choose hope and let people know you care and that you're there if they need you.
