okay, but i need the girls to try and cheer lucy up by getting her drunk, only to have their plan backfire when lucy starts sobbing over and over about how much she misses and still loves tim.

#*carly catalogs #i'll start writing this after i walk my dogs #the rookie #the rookie s6 #lucy chen #chenford #otp: you know me so well #made myself cry imagining lucy lying strung out across both nyla and angela's laps while slurring her words about wanting tim back #and angela strokes her hair as her and nyla shush and soothe her to sleep like one of their own babies #you show your truest colors when you're drunk.... #and ik lucy's gonna put on a brave face and act like she's not as emotionally destroyed as she is #like 'i still love him. i'm always gonna love him.' 🥺🥺

never forget El isn't just touchy feely as a random personality trait, she's spent most of her developmentally critical years horribly starved of touch and warmth and love :)

and every moment of physical comfort she receives is precious to her as an antidote to some specific moment in her past when she suffered the lack of it :) and you can also see the shadow of her traumas in the ways she thinks to give physical comfort :)

and also don't forget that her trauma didn't end with the lab :) when we first meet her her traumas are drawn from lab days but by later seasons it's clear some of the traumas guiding her behavior are just... the show :) such as the crushing pressure of everyone counting on her to find Will :)

and if I spend more than 2 seconds thinking about what any simple little moment of closeness/physical affection/comfort must mean to El I will start sobbing and never stop :)

#eleven #lab feels #the max ones are heavily relevant to my fic #el is fairly into touching peoples heads during hugs in general #but her comforting max involves a lot of head stroking and i'm thinking it's because that's an old self soothing habit :( #also I realize 'its okay' is an extremely standard thing to say to a distressed person but #what if she says that to max because she remembers joyce saying it to her in the void and it making her feel better #and what do you wanna bet she held onto max's hand like that because she remembers going into the void to find will #and knowing she's his only hope and his fate is completely on her shoulders and all these people are counting on her #and then feeling will's hand dissolve in hers. and not knowing where he went or how to help him #and now she's gone in to find max and it's the same thing all over again and she's max's only hope #only this time it isn't some kid it's her best friend and the person she probably loves most in the world. and who trusts her to save her #do you know how terrified she is that max is gonna turn into smoke too. and disappear to somewhere el can't find her or help her #do you know how terrified she is that she's going to fail her #do you get what unfathomable trauma it is that she did fail her (it wasn't her fault but with her hero complex she'll feel like it is) #i will be adding to this gifset in season 5 when max wakes up #im fine (im not) #angst #mine #bestof

Everything's gonna work out even if it won't be okay for some time!!! My fears won't conquer me and bad things happening isn't the end of everything good!!!!

what if I created a website about my bullshit stories

#jau rants #yes I saw someone's personal site about their dolls and stories yesterday and that's why I'm having this thought #it was so cool that going through it just... soothed the horrible restlessness that plagued me yesterday #plus like reasonably I'm never gonna get pusblished bc lol I write total bullshit #but I really really want to talk about my stories sometimes #but also I'm self conscious as fuck bc those stories suck #you know what nevermind this is probably a terrible idea

[larmegliamori]

Absolutely do not think about Raych and Daneel getting involved into Hari and Dors' wedding

#/jk you absolutely can #it's just so sooo soothing aaaahhh. especially after forward the foundation. yeah I'll never recover from that book #and I'm gonna make it everyone else's problem #isaac asimov #hari/dors #hari seldon #dors venabili #raych seldon #daneel olivaw #guys i basically got to bed with this thought and I woke up with it. sooo many headcanons.

it's the darkest day of the year again

#own art #a little like a vent art #gonna ramble in the tags so you can just skip #link in text goes to a post I made this day 10 years ago bc that was the day of grandma's funeral #it's very soothing in a way that her funeral was held on the winter solstice #(this year the solstice is on 22nd but usually it's on 21st so I'm queueing this for late evening) #today I took a short moment to think about how I kept thinking that I'll process the emotions regarding her last years and passing later bu #ended up just storing them away in a place I've never more than peeked in during all these years #guess that's a valid way to cope but I'm afraid I'll come to regret it if some inherited things appear in our future #but yeah #drawing hands is still fun in their own way

truly something that, amidst facing / going through a dramatic Life Change ft. unavoidable emotional effects of that, there are instances where i can't conceal any & all degrees of being distressed / upset, & repeatedly getting "it's hard for me too" as a Direct Response to that: really something & a half how the asserted theoretical Sympathy of [i feel similarly!] is invoked so as to, oh you know, preclude sympathetic Treatment. such as that what would be More sympathetic in these instances would be to say Nothing, "if there's nothing but dismissal / making it first & foremost about someone else's feelings to say, don't say it at all" style

#reading also that original Lovelessness essay ''love is meant to make me human / love is also the mechanism by which my humanity #has been denied'' always preferring to have [sorry! couldn't fully bottle up this Emotiona externally manifesting at all!] Ignored rather #than ''nicely'' interacted with so as to Invalidate; Dismiss; someone's annoyed at you for having it; etc #for bonus context like we are not in the same boat with it. #not a case of ''the same situation; mine is worse though'' like no; fundamentally different situations here lmao. mine is worse #If You Feel So Bad. Or At All. then at least now do me the favor of Not Saying That; Repeatedly #their feelings put on me too in other ways. stewing resentment into lashing out; tossing out ''but i'm justified'' like ok! Your business!! #the ol like. If You're Going To Do Something Anyways then how you justify it to yourself is Your business / b/w you & your god as they say #& the last thing to do is be making it the problem of ppl Most Affected by what you're gonna do anyways & Also ask their Absolution..... #like if you need more moral support abt What You're Doing Anyways: turn to Anyone Else. even No One if you have to. #bit going tf through it when it's spilling over into Posting but such is life!! we all have that [the horrors. girl help] blogger on dash #again the tl;dr like oh you don't say. the [umm but have you considered?

I had yet another long, strenuous day yesterday and didn't finish work until super late and then I couldn't fall asleep until well past 2am cuz I was in so much pain from standing literally all day

#what made it worse was the client I spent most of my day with was a brand new client. and she booked super last minute #so I wasnt mentally prepared for doing a 5 hour color. and her natural hair was already pretty light so I had to foil foil foil. go back. #pull out first couple foils. foil foil foil. go back. pull out the next few. #over and over and over. #and her hair was so fucking long. and so fucking thick. #and after the first hour she wouldn't talk. like I like my silence so I don't fight it much #but every now and then I would try to engage with her. I'd say something and she would straight up ignore me. no acknowledgment. #which makes me feel anxious cuz it's like jesus... does she hate me?? did I piss her off somehow? #even when I finished her hair (it looked fucking amazing no lie. one of my best highlights yet.) she had next to no reaction to it #she was like 'it looks fine. I mean good. it's good.' completely deadpan #I laughed it off and was like yeah it's been a long day girl! but it looks amazinggg on you!! #no response. deep inhale. alright. #whatever tho. #when I did finally get off work I stopped @ bojangles cuz I was lightheaded and hadn't eaten since morning #and when I tell you I almost broke down into tears cuz there were so many people crowding the goddamn pickup area. #and so many bizarre conversations going on. genuinely felt like I was in some form of hell #like my feet hurt. my back hurts. I'm tired. I didn't get the validation I like to have over a 5 hour transformative color. #I'm hungry and there are two elderly women blocking the pickup counter. one is hard of hearing so she keeps yelling HUH??? #and the other only speaks in soft baby whispers. that goes as well as you can imagine. #there's a man behind me grilling an employee abt whether or not he goes to church. he starts witnessing to him #and the employee says 'I've never thought about it like that before' no less than 4 times. #there's a child in front of me playing tiktoks @ full volume. and this is all happening simultaneously. #I really considered just leaving without my food but I knew I needed to eat and didnt have anything at home so I stuck it out #was it worth it? no. bojangles honestly sucks these days but what's a girl gonna do. #got home and tried to pass out but nope. tossed and turned all night. #put on hot n cold patches to try to soothe the pain a little. didn't work cuz one pain would be eased a bit and another pain would take over #blahhhhhh #and now. I get to do it all over again! yippeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

we as a society need to stop automatically associating stupidity as being a bad thing. i say this as someone who is completely genuinely a bit stupid i am like . i take a lot of time to pick up on things i am incredibly easily confused i will very very very easily assume things wrong or forget things and it is not necessarily a bad thing and whenever i call myself stupid people are like "oh you're not stupid youre smart" like no, it isnt a self deprecation thing, it's a statement of fact. I Am A Bit Dull And That Is Okay. Don't call me out for using the wrong language or whatever it's late at night and i'm really muddyminded right now but i want to . make a post about this and kind of get it off my chest

#it's something that's really hard to talk about because also people get really mad at you if you ask them to be patient with you about this #and it feels really bad when people get snippy at me for being slow but i can't really say ' be nice to me i'm kind of stupid ' because tha #sounds like. cheap or something. #like i'm gonna fuck up a lot just because of how i am and patience is very appreciated but also like please understand why i'm hesitant to #like disclose this yknow. and it's really isolating sometimes it really well and truly is. it's hard to talk about. #people who are patient and understanding about how i'm slow make me feel so soothed and comforted to be around even without me having to li #talk about it . and disclose it. #it happens a lot when discussing media too because i just really won't pick up on stuff because of this even if i'm actively trying to #i miss it and it doesnt register in my mind even if i'm actively looking for stuff and i forget stuff really easily #i dunno. i'm just feeling ways about it right now #this is hard to talk about but this is kind of something ive wanted to make a post about for awhile #god damn the sun

Hiya! Hello, since this blog is getting a lil bit more attention than usual, I just wanna give a simple lil reminder, that I am by no means a professional when it comes to art, or writing, and all my lil FNaF AU's are very much so, and will always very much so be just a hobby, stuff I'm doing in my free time to make myself happy. :3 While I do hope that my work is enjoyable, In the long run the objective here, for me, is just to have a little fun, so things aren't going to be perfect. I share my work not because I have to, but because it can be fun to do so, and as I've seen said before, if it stops being fun, then I don't have to share anymore. All this to say, thanks to near everyone I've encountered so far that has offered me their patience and not been outwardly hostile or anything to me, I really hope it stays that way! I'm just a simple, anxious af hobby artist, who really enjoys FNaF haha.

#insomniac hyena rambles #not au related #my anxiety and junk have been kinda. not great lately #and just having this little space to sit down and play around with something I enjoy- #has been an amazing distraction to have. and I hope it continues to stay that way #though I am sorry if there's ever something I dont reply to #or can't give a very good reply to #my mind is seldom cooperative and kind of a mess. and rn I've got a lot on it #but yeah! Nothing wrong with wanting something to be enjoyable. but please understand i write and draw for myself first #and everything else second. if you don't enjoy something #I'm not gonna force anyone to look at my work haha #its posted just in case someone else enjoys it. not because I'm saying someone else /has to/ #Thanks again to everyone who's read even just a line or two of AWLB! I'm still astonished anything I made warranted any kinda attention #and this post wasn't made towards anyone or anything specifically #its just an in general thing. something to soothe over my anxiety and such #lil reminder I'm just doing all this fnaf stuff for fun
