the leftism leaving my body when Anastasia says she escaped the palace because a boy opened a wall and Dimitri realises the woman he's in love with is the little girl he saved and so nothing about this is a con any more and the invisible string is invisible stringing

So I went to my therapist the other day, and later in the appointment I mentioned that I like to write self-insert fiction to cope. I also said that I generally hide it and felt embarrassed mentioning it due to the way people treat the concept online.

She said that self-inserting yourself into art and writing is an incredibly healthy way to feel good about yourself, and that she was appalled when I told her about the way it’s mocked on the internet.

So never feel bad about self-inserting or enjoying reader insert fanfiction, 1/1 professionals agree that it’s good for you and that the jerks who say you’re doing something wrong are just uneducated and don’t understand. Never listen to the anons who try to make you feel bad <3 

Have a really nice day!

To speak so vulnerably about such a highly publicized and widely controversial topic like this all while expressing deep empathy with her abuser even after years of cruelty is such a profound thing. I hope she flourishes following her release and tries to find some comfort and peace in a normal life I truly do.

I showed my mum what I intended to use as my official author photo and she said "what is wrong with you"

Speaking of foundational lore of Padme's character, it amazes me when ppl don't take Padme's very first impression of Anakin into account. From the way I've seen some of fandom talk, you'd think Padme met him in AotC, and when the actual circumstances of their meeting is acknowledged, it's often couched as like. teenage girl babysat a little kid. Which is insane to me. 'why would Padme think there's any good in Anakin when he was a brat and then evil in aotc' idk maybe because when he had nothing he risked his life for a stranger? Maybe because in her hour of need he and his mother, who were slaves, gave her shelter and offered her aid that the senate, who were supposed to help and had all the resources to help, did not? Do you think that might have had a tiny impact on her view of him? Do you think she might have idealized that child a little? Long before he was the source of her despair he was the source of her hope. In an uncaring galaxy someone with nothing might decide to fight for what's right.

“I think it’s important to realize you can miss something, but not want it back.”

You recently moved to the countryside. Your child was playing in the woods, and came back with a large green egg you thought was plastic, so you agreed they could keep it if no one claimed it. Your kid said it was a gift. You thought nothing of it. Then the egg hatched.

The best piece of advice I ever got was not meant as advice, but as an edict. If I was going to threaten people as a joke, it had to be so far out of proportion with what happened that it would be obvious I was joking. This changed how I expressed frustration with others. It then changed how I expressed frustration with myself.

Not “I’m going to hit you” but “I am going to buy a tuna sub from the gas station and hide it under the seat of your car”

Not “I’m going to kill myself” but “I am going to walk into the desert and let the scarabs take me”

The other side then happened. When I mess something up, instead of saying it’s bad and perpetuating negative thoughts, swing hard the other way.

Not “this art is terrible” but “this shall be framed and mounted on the wall in my museum exhibition as testament to the suffering I had to overcome”

Have been doing this since high school. It was my drama teacher who asked me to please stop scaring the actors. The other half of the edict was that I had to say it in a polite tone, and end it with either please or thank you.

Life changing. 10/10 Mr Muëller. Highly reccomend.

A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
