A lot of people don’t know that I used to run a fairly popular depression blog. I posted dark stuff before I started recovering. This meant my dashboard was filled with depression blogs as well.
Now, there’s nothing wrong with those blogs and I totally understand why they’re out there. I also understand why they can help since they can feel so validating and help you feel less alone. But I felt so much lighter when I began unfollowing them and replacing my dashboard with lighter things.
I’m not saying this is the solution for everyone since we all heal and cope differently but I think it’s worth thinking about at least! Because for me, seeing the depressive posts on my dash all the time ended up actively preventing me from getting out of the mindset I was in.
You’re valid and I’m not judging you if you have a depression blog or follow a bunch. I just wanted to offer up my own experience in case it can be helpful to someone else.

An Aemond having nerve damage/pain in his eye post has appeared on my dashboard and I just- I might be more inclined to believe it had it not been for the giant gemstone he’s constantly sticking in his eye socket.
I'm more curious about one thing - maybe I have a censored version or something, but where did all these people see the scene of Aemond's eye lying on the board in Driftmark? I often saw posts about how "Rhaenyra wanted to torture Aemond while his eye was on the table!" and I can't see that eye. And if the eye was there, wouldn't Alicent asking if the eye would heal be weird? If it was lying there, she would probably know that it wouldn't, and no one would be surprised by the maester's words that the eye wouldn't be saved?
I thought Luke had damaged his eye so much that it wouldn't function, and it was removed when the stitches were opened. Because if not, why did Aemond reopen the stitches, the wound and push a piece of stone there? That he wanted to pretend to be a badass, but he couldn't because his mother told him to cover his eye when he was in court?

Argyle never gets frustrated with Steve when he doesn’t understand something. He doesn’t roll his eyes, or give That Sigh. He explains things patiently, if a bit abstractly, and when Steve is way off base Argyle runs with it. Is Vecna a vampire? Whoa that would be wild, man! Do you think he can’t have garlic? We could just take him out with a gnarly garlic pie, my dude!
the way you're seeing into my mind.... argyle being really soft with steve and taking the time to make sure he doesn't feel stupid when he's confused is something i've considered AT LENGTH (specifically in dms with @himbohohoharringtxn who has the unfortunate luck of being on the receiving end of Most of my argyle thoughts fdjghkdfj)
i would like to preface this by saying that i am firmly in "argyle and steve are both genuinely smart" territory. i think steve is very neurodivergent coded (i see the arguments for adhd/autism/dyslexia/ocd and as someone who might be autistic but is diagnosed with the other three....i see these arguments and i agree on all fronts) and there's also the head trauma of it all, though that's not what this is about. he's not fucking dumb, he just needs things broken down and explained to him in a very specific way. nothing wrong with that!
as far as argyle is concerned - we've literally seen him in action noticing small details no one else has(one of my fav parallels between them), which ends up being the reason the cali group finds nina and el. he's not fucking dumb either, just delivered to us as a comic relief stoner character with little dimension because the duffers need to be fucking stopped
BUT ANYWAY! you're so right! argyle would see the way steve sometimes gets brushed off and spoken over. the rest don't mean it to be hurtful and steve tries not to show that it does sometimes sting (because it's really not that big of a deal to him and it's not like they're being outright mean) but he would ABSOLUTELY "yes and-" whatever steve's off the wall question or idea was, if anything just to make him laugh, relieve some of the tension. AND IT WORKS is the thing.
it's not just, "duuuude, what if we just lure vecna into the sun? he'll be TOAST in five seconds flat, no fighting necessary. nancy, you can put the gun down, we're gonna hurl garlic cloves at him with a slingshot!" in one fell swoop, argyle is 1. making sure steve feels heard and not spoken over; 2. acknowledging steve's input and effort in a way that, let's be honest, the others don't do very often; 3. putting a smile on the group's faces for a while because fuck they're kids in a stressful situation and need a laugh; 4. putting himself in the line of fire so the others can rag on him instead.
argyle would do this when they aren't even dating yet and steve definitely would not be normal about it, he'd be smiling so big and soft and then argyle would catch his eye and smile back and they'd have this little quiet moment between them amidst all the chaos and dread.
after they're dating though? oh, they'd be INSUFFERABLE. they'd be such a pda couple, with the ridiculous pet names("what the fuck did you just call me?" "don't worry about it, my lil sweet potato pie."), and the open flirting until their friends are fake-retching, the whole nine yards. argyle is hanging off of steve's back with his arms around his waist and not even acknowledging it as he makes his argument to the rest of the group that, "no, no, listen. steve is onto something here, i just know. what if-"
and when they're alone, it'd be less of the theatrics and silliness and more of the gentle patience. they're both smart in really different ways and when argyle gets something steve doesn't and steve is getting a little frustrated about it, he'd take his hand or pull him close and just distract him with a little bit of affection to get him to cool down because he knows being frustrated isn't going to help steve figure out whatever it is. conversely, steve does the same when he's trying to explain something to argyle - though he's less likely to get as frustrated when confused, and more likely to pretend to take longer to get it than he actually does because listening to steve explain a subject he's knowledgeable about is fucking hot, can you blame him? they're just soft with each other, okay

Everybody can feel free to “spam boop” me btw.
I almost never look at my activity feed because I have adhd and forget it exists so I don’t mind if it’s covered in boops or if I don’t know you. Also I wouldn’t care anyway because the boops just get grouped into little boxes and it’s nbd??
So anyway bop me with kitty paws all you like if you wanna get those badges!!

If you are the type of person who says shit like “I’m gonna block this person for liking/reblogging xx amount of my posts wah fucking wah wah”
Do me a great big favor and block me. Right now. Because chances are pretty fuckin high that I’m gonna blow your notifications up at some point if you follow me or I follow you, and then I’m seriously gonna be pissed that I can’t block you in return. Oh I’m so sorry that I relate to shit you post. My fucking bad. You’re only on a website that encourages people to interact with each others posts.
So from now on, if you post about blocking people for stupid shit like showing your lame ass some attention, I’m going to block you. If you don’t want people interacting with your shit, make it private. Problem solved.
To be clear:
Like and reblog my shit as much as you want! Unlike it and relike it and reblog it every damn day. I don’t care!!!
