Okay then. Try these things. (mainly for neurodivergent people but really its for anyone who has a problem but Doesn't Know What)
SHORT TERM- i feel bad right now and need immediate relief
Get off your phone. Seriously
Drink a glass of water
Eat something with protein
Shower if you haven't already
Brush your teeth
Tidy your space a bit
Open a window and stretch your legs or go outside on a walk if you can
Say something nice to someone
Put on some music. Something relatively happy
Hug a living being (pet, sibling, parent, etc)
Change clothes or feel a nice texture or listen to some 8D music. Sometimes its a sensory thing
Get something small done. Reply to an email or something
Do something creative. Draw, write, sing, whatever
Learn some cool new information
Talk to someone. Phone a friend, talk to your parents, text someone, etc
Read a damn book (fanfic counts)
Sleep, or if you can't manage that, try to relax or meditate for 5 or 10 mins
If you have over excerted yourself physically mentally or emotionally, gove yourself a break.
LONG TERM - ive been feeling bad for a while and want to get a bit better overall
Try to talk to someone about life generally. You might just figure it out
Stop making suicide jokes. Yes, that includes ironically saying "i want to die" at any minor inconvenience. for me, this was changing it to "im going to commit a war crime" or "I'm going to buy a completely unnecessary amount of clothes". Be ridiculous with it. Keep the comedic value.
Stop being self depricating. Failed a maths test? "oh im just really bad at maths" turns to "my maths skills are unmatched. im a genius" it can be sarcastic. then youll get used to complimenting yourself and will do it unironically out of habit
Change something. For me this was cutting my hair. i felt out of control. i cut my hair because i couldn't do anything else. this could be joining a club, buying new clothes, dying your hair, choosing a new perfume or deodorant. Anything that makes you feel in control
I might add more to the long term list in the future but this is it for now. You will get better, the silly little guy on the internet believes in you <3
for me being a trans person in the holidays is so strange because..whos life have i dropped in on who is this girl whos life i am living for 2 weeks. can i go home
Hey… buddy. I need an idea for a zine. Something good enough for 8 pages of drawing with a mouse. And if I like what the marbles rattling around in your head say? Who knows. God knows they're sharp enough.
First of all i love the song
as for a zine idk honestly but ive made one that defines a bunch of different words
but also you could do like an odyssey type thing with a mouse tryna get somewhere or do something but they keep getting inturrupted or distracted?
its me and my twelve cold half cups of tea against the world
GO WHITE BOY GO!
....NO WHITE BOY, NOT LIKE THAT!
W-WHITE BOY I DON'T THINK IVE EVER SEEN ANYONE FUCK IT UP THAT BADLY BEFORE!
isnt it pretty to think so?
i think haters of the secret history just dont understand the point of the novel. its supposed to make you hate the characters. its about the dangers of living for the aesthetic. you dont like how charles' character progressed? Yeah neither did i that was the point. its such a cleverly written novel and theyre such deep characters. take charles again for example. in the beginning his drinking problem wasn't even a problem, it was just a silly quirk of his personality and something that made him the way he was but slowly it became a huge problem, sending him to jail and then to hospital and causing camilla to get unto a lot of trouble with henry and damaging his relationships with francis and Richard, and ultimately causing Henry's suicide. its about having awareness of the concequences of our actions. while it would have been nice for the fully good characters to have killed the inherently bad character of bunny and gotten away with it aided by a clever plan then lived happily ever after that would have destroyed the point of the book. it reflected reality and i think that was one of the beautiful things about the text along with the way it was written (donna tartts prose is unmatched. fight me.) . also the way the characterswere from a moral standpoint changed drastically too. the pov of richard made us agree with the rest of them thanks to the manipulation tactics from henry and while he is the most unreliable of narrators this adds to the effect of the novel.
anyway my opinions on this are VERY strong and i could go on for hours
not a part of the crk fandom but this slaps so hard wth
I also made this a while back [like before I got tumblr] so uhhh yeah ‼️‼️
Someone shout at me to go to sleep it's almost 2am here
S2 hyper skeptical Jon is so funny because each episode is like
"...Sasha has made me promise not to go into the tunnels anymore as she says it is having a negative impact on my mental health and she insists that i go and sit outside on lunch breaks with her because i "havent seen sunlight in a week" whatever. End recording."
"Supplemental. I am in the tunnels now. I haven't eaten in 12 hours. I have half a bottle of water and three dead torches. Maybe Sasha was right...."
250 likes! Thats a lot guys, thank you!
Don't stress too much. One day we'll forget it, remember?
