Such Passion

'Well, I had two things on my list this morning. It was eat breakfast and cure cancer... and my Coco Pops are GONE!'

~ Monica Gaga in sfth liveshow 14-10-24 ~

did you guys notice the fantastic editing of the crowd volume here? the editing just keeps getting better and better

when someone tells me I'm too dramatic

this longform felt like a super long fever dream and I loved it

I wish I could bottle this man up and bring him everywhere with me

*•°•* unconventional self care motivation *•°•*

Reasons to stay alive:

- you could meet god and that bastard does not deserve to be graced by your presence 😤

-spite god

-outlive your enemies

-if life wants you dead that badly it will do it itself, don't help it

- your existence annoys someone that you hate and that's powerful

- disappoint your parents (if you have them and want to that is)

Reasons to brush your teeth:

- clean mouth knives hehe

- if they fall out you won't be able to bite homophobes anymore

- future archeologists/paleontologists will compliment how well preserved you are

- be the only person in the nursing home w/o dentures and feel superior for it

- so you can eat (See reasons to eat)

Take your vitamins:

-so that you have strength to run from the police

- so that you don't lose your eyesight (if you have it) and you can watch the downfall of your enemies

- don't get scurvy *cue sea shanties*

Stay hydrated:

- to ensure that you always have to piss 😳 this may seem like a bad thing but... you never know when it could come in handy (the graves of your enemies looking a little dry perhaps?)

- your body is basically a giant water slide. And everyone knows water slides w/o water suck

- this is more of a tip than a reason but tea is equally as hydrating as water and has antioxidants and small amounts of vitamins so technically you can live off of it (like i do lol) if you don't like how water tastes 😌

- if you're dehydrated you won't have as much blood :((

Reasons to eat:

- not everyone can, think about moths. Moths can't eat so enjoy food for the moths that can't

- also gives you strength to run from police

- strength to beat up abusive parents (doesn't have to be your parents)

- chewing regularly makes your jawline sharper and your jaw stronger, also good for biting

Reasons to get enough sleep:

- being unconscious. its not being awake which is pretty great imo

- dream about whatever tf you want with no consequences

- your stuffed animals don't get to come to life until you sleep

Reasons to shower:

- the police dogs will have a harder time following your scent

- wash off dead skin- now the only skin you have is alive

- idk about ya'll but I come up with some of my best comedic material while dissociating in the showers

-cmon bubbles and splashing are still fun no matter how old you are don't lie to yourself

Reasons to go outside:

- don't let the sun forget your face >:( make your threats known to him

- alternatively look at the moon 🥺 need I say more

- you could see someone walking their dog and get to pet it or maybe a stray cat will be friendly and you can pet it 👉👈

- ....vandalize

- find pretty rocks, take then home with you or put them in your pockets for throwing at police cars later

- climb trees, maybe you will scrape your knee maybe you will find something cool like a birds nest or a cocoon

Anyways this was all I could think of right now! Take care of yourselves and feel free to add on to this with your own motivations

I feel so much more at ease when I decide that I'm not gonna eat for a day, but that's also really weird cause I've been having so much trouble with binging lately

Does anyone else feel that way or is it just me?

friendly reminders to self-harmers

Don't overuse antibiotics like neosporin, polysporin, etc, they can cause bacterial resistance and you'll be fucked if you get an actual infection. Use them only if a wound looks sketchy

Do NOT clean injured skin with alcohol or peroxide. Use them to disinfect anything that you have or are going to use to harm yourself (cutters, razor blades, etc) to avoid any funky stuff going into your body, use either a fragance free soap (doesn't have to be antiseptic or antibacterial but it's better if it is), iodine or another antiseptic meant for wounds to clean injured skin. Alcohol and peroxide can impede healing when used long term.

Never, and i mean never, use rusty stuff to harm yourself, things of dubious origins or dirty things. I dont care if you are vaccinated. There are ways to clean and disinfect stuff and get rid of rust.

You don't always need to cover you wounds (obviously if you dont feel comfortable not covering them because you don't want others noticing its okay!) if they're shallow but for deeper cuts (styros and deeper) you might want to, this way its easier for them to be in a sterile environment and stay moist, which minimizes scarring, promotes faster healing and prevents infection. If you want to cover your wounds change the dressing regularly and clean the wounds regularly.

Don't cut too deep if you aren't ready to go to an hospital. Some deep wounds ("beans" aka hypodermis/fat layer and anything under it) is likely to need stitches. For styros and some light beans you can do well with steri strips and bandages, but please go to an hospital if you cut very deep.

Finally:

Eat well and drink water (i know many people who sh have eds as well but your body cant repair itself well if you dont eat well)

Sleep well, also at night (because your body repairs itself better when you're sleeping during the night)

Moisturize your wounds often (preferrably vaseline for the first few days or as long as you can, after the first few days you can use a moisturizer that's apt for sensitive skin)

Dont shower too often (hot water can strip your skin of natural oils and also irritate it, so if you shower everyday with hot water try to do it every other day or shower with colder water)

Dont wear tight clothing on fresh wounds

CHANGE !! DRESSINGS !! REGULARLY !! AND DONT PICK ON SCABS!!!

alright cuz im so tired of alloro bs, especially with valen/tine/s day coming up:

If you dont experience romantic love: you matter

If you dont experience platonic love: you matter

If you dont experience familial love: you matter

No matter what kind you dont experience, you deserve peace. You deserve kindness. You deserve joy.

You deserve to not have every alloro in a 20 mile radius "um actually"ing you every time you express distaste for something romantic.

Being loveless isnt a bad thing, and i hope you find peace in yourself 💚

I am staying hydrated, are You staying hydrated?
