#*they don't heal ALONE

Danny made himself known to the world by hacking into the Justice League's communications line. Amity was safe but he was so tired of being ignored that the moment he figured out how to isolate his small town from the rest of the world he decided to let the heroes know they had failed.

He posted all the ignored calls, the GIW legal documents, the experiments, everything that would let them know that they had failed. Because he had saved himself and the others but never got help.

In a very short time Amity declared itself independent, similar to Atlantis or Themyscira; they didn't need anything from the rest of the world anyway.

At first the League thought it was the attack of a villain or some new organization.

It became very obvious that this was not the case the more they confirmed the information presented, from a law passed under their noses to the threat of exterminating an entire race of beings that were much stronger than them but decided to chose a peaceful route instead of just destroying everything.

For the first time in years, the League felt useless. The weight only increased when the last piece of "evidence" turned out to be the death certificate of Daniel Fenton, the first victim of the whole mess.

#dpxdc #ghost king danny #Danny was tired of being ignored #and maybe he's being unfair to the League #but they never answered his calls #all the times he needed a helping hand #or someone to help him heal his wounds #a guide to follow #he never got that #and that is a hundred times more unfair in his mind #dp x dc #dc x dp #Amity survived well on its own #and the Infinite Realms have infinite things to offer #so they don't need more allies #The League doesn't know what to do #Should they apologize or leave them alone?

can’t talk about it

[ID: Black and white comic of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. The comic starts with the sounds "thud, thud, click". Vash, mid-action of peeling an apple, turns to the sound, noticing who it was that entered, and says, "Oh, Wolfwood, you're back." He resumes back to his apple in the next panel as he speaks, "Where'd you go? You snuck out of bed quickly this morning..." Wolfwood's hand then enters the panel, hovering over Vash's cheek and Vash looks up as Wolfwood asks, "Can I?" Vash responds, "Not going to talk about it?" while using a hand to gently hold Wolfwood's hovering hand and presses a kiss to his inner palm.

Vash then gets up fully, setting down the knife down on the table and the apple onto a plate, He leans into Wolfwood as Wolfwood explains, "Had to meet someone. Nothing interesting to talk about." Vash kisses Wolfwood's left cheek and a hand moves to cup his other cheek while muttering, "You're being vague." Wolfwood says neutrally, "If yer really that curious, keep askin'. We  can talk about that instead of doing this." Vash leans back and responds, "Let's talk after, since... You look so tired."

The panel pans to a close up of Wolfwood's downcast eyes, bags heavy underneath his eyes. He doesn't allow Vash to sit in that moment for long though, then saying, "Yer not helping, Spikey. Being all slow with it... I could fall asleep right now." He moves his hand to start unclasping Vash's coat, starting from his collar. Vash with red cheeks, responds briskly, "Oh, shut up. I'm worried about you. I can't be worried?"

The final shot shows Wolfwood's back to the viewer while Vash's softened expression can be seen as he holds gently onto the side of Wolfwood's face and a hand firm on his waist. Wolfwood responds, "I'm fine, seriously," pausing for a moment before continuing, "Is it okay to still..?" Vash responds, "Yeah, it's okay."

The next image is a shot from later that night after the previous comic. Vash and Wolfwood are now in bed, half naked. Wolfwood's buries his face into Vash's chest, his arms wrapped around him, while Vash is petting at his hair. Vash reminds him, "Hey. You said we'd talk about it." Wolfwood pauses for a moment before piping up, "In the morning? I'm sleepy." Vash says, "Okay..."

The next two pages start from the morning after. Wolfwood is already fully awake, pulling on his outer jacket as he says to Vash, whos' still bundled in his blankets, "Breakfast is on the table. Make sure to eat it. I'm going to grab some things in town and then we're leavin'. Got it?" Vash says, "Mh." Wolfwood responds, "Good. See ya in a bit." The dialogue starts to shift into Vash's inner thoughts now, as he gets up and eats toast, thinking, "Wait. Weren't we supposed to... talk about it?" The next shot then shows him fully up, meeting Wolfwood in town. He carries a half worried expression with him while Wolfwood slides on his glasses for him. A quick panel shows Wolfwood's tired expression from the night before and quickly juxtaposes with Wolfwood in front of him who's smiling gently, the shades covering his eye bags. Wolfwood asks him, "Still not awake yet?" Vash pauses, his thoughts stirring, thinking, "Oh. I guess I was getting ahead of myself... thinking you owe me that kind of honesty." He smiles at Wolfwood and responds, "I'm awake!" His thoughts continue, "Maybe one day, you'd trust me enough to share your burdens."

The final image shows Wolfwood pulling at Vash's cheek and Vash complains, "Owwwww why..." Wolfwood quickly says, "You were thinking something stupid, right? It's all over yer face." Vash mutters, "Nooo, I wasn't..." END ID]

#vashwood #trigun #trigun maximum #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #Theyre both thoroughly exhausted tired individuals -- vash having to fight this lonely battle for over a hundred years and getting dragged #back into inevitable situation with knives after a 2 years hiatus of being a gunslinger. they both need so much Rest and comfort in this #department... .SIGHS. BUT I JUST THINK ABOUT WOLFWOOD . AND HOW... LITTLE He has existed on no man's land. how majority of his years being #alive is being used as a weapon and to kill when him at his very core is the most giving and selfless individual ever #badlands rumble inspired me a bit but i do think wolfwood gets dragged into occasional tasks from the eye of michael while on his duty of #guiding vash -- or i think that one chapter where we got to see other members of eom -- there's like a clear division within the eom too #i think.... so i figured similarly to vash but not to the same amount -- there are people that look for wolfwood too. but most of the time #it's probably wolfwood that has to look for someone else and take them out. i feel like it happens ever so occasionally. #evidentially these two don't talk enough canonically but they always know how to express things properly to affirm that they're okay #they have the worst time ever sharing burdens - can't willingly burden the other and has neeever asked for help or reprieve in their #desperate situations... vw is a huge case of right person wrong time syndrome so they just. in the time they get to spend together -- even #if romantically - they don't have enough time to heal to get over that kind of hurdle. They've just never asked for help in all the years #they've been alive -- they don't even know how to and its just aughhhsgskg #and well! they don't even need to ask! because they'll be there for each other anyway at the end of the day -- company and presence alone. #ruporas art

no matter how hard they tried to pit you guys against each other, they could never make me hate any of you

just cause I like one, doesn't mean I have to hate the others. I love all 4 of my silly little babies.

#has anyone else noticed this? #I swear. sometimes it seems like this fandom insists that if you like one of these characters you have to hate at least on of the others #like people expect me (a spider lover) to hate Neytiri #like *no*. thats my girl. I want nothing but love and light for her. I want her to have peace so she can finaly heal and accept Spider. #or like. *those* 'tey and Lo'ak fans seem dead set on blaming every little thing on Spider. #they seem to think Spider fans can't also like 'tey or Lo'ak #like its not all fans. but its enough #leave my sillies alone. you can't make me hate any of them. #and like. don't kill me. but I've seen the occasional hostility between hardcore 'tey fans and Lo'ak fans... which.... ok then #avatar 2 #avatar the way of water #spider socorro #miles spider socorro #miles socorro #neytiri #neteyam #lo'ak #neteyam sully #lo'ak sully #neytiri sully

"I'm alone... again."

It's remembering that Ezra has spent more than half his life alone by the time we'll see him in Ahsoka.

#I miss my baby boy. #He was finally healing and opened up and now he's alone again. #For all we know he's had Thrawn and his forces actively hunting him/attacking him as his only source of human connection for years. #I really hope they actually address the trauma he underwent choosing to be alone again for a decade and don't brush it aside. #It's missing Ezra Bridger hour #star wars rebels #star wars #star wars ahsoka #star wars art #star wars fanart #ahsoka series #ahsoka show #sw ahsoka #sw ahsoka series #ahsoka 2023 #my art #ezra bridger

I feel so much tenderness to those of you who are putting the often difficult and harrowing work into working through trauma, identifying and navigating triggers, or even just realizing what you need... that's such a tall task sometimes. It's painful to push down those things, and it's even more painful to address it, but it's so worth it. I genuinely hope you can find pride and peace with the knowledge that you are enough, that whatever happened to you wasn't your fault, and that you are so fucking worth the effort of working through this.

#mental health #mental health advocacy #trauma #i wish somebody had told me all of this when i was young and felt it was all my fault + when i was in the thick of it #but that's in the past and i hope that maybe these words will reach somebody who needed it like i did. that would put me at ease #that's probably a selfish thought. but i don't want you (reader) to be alone in this - in those feelings #in my heart there is a spot for everybody who simply are trying to heal and work through it all y'know #because weirdly enough this can be some of the hardest shit you can do - even moreso if you must do it alone or with a network

Finally got enough energy to talk about Furina's SQ and while I loved her and the troupe, MC and Paimon were .... Not Great. I talked about this with friends but in Paimon's case especially, the way they interact with Furina feels like people who just don't understand trauma and depression and then engage with someone suffering from both in all the wrong ways.

Talking about how much of a downgrade her house is from the opera house, making fun of how she can't cook, pushing her to act when she's set a very clear boundary and then guilt tripping her after she's stuck to her guns, shaming her for not being able to fight well (Paimon literally talks about how second hand embarrassment is overwhelming and I'm just like ?????), telling her she's "not acting like herself" when she attempts to open up and be vulnerable....it's just really rough. That and the MC asking "is something wrong" when Furina gets sad over Poission ..like bro people died and she couldn't save them and she's tearing herself apart over it. Those people are never coming back and you know it and you have the gall to ask her is something wrong??? Of COURSE there is!!

It just feels especially odd because we literally get to see all of Furina's suffering and Paimon in particular is. SO mean? Like she was more understanding with Wanderer and Ei and THEY'VE tried to kill us multiple times!! I don't get it, and honestly I'm very proud of Furina for refusing to waver. Let her rest!! She's tired and depressed and she needs time to heal; and honestly fuck Paimon for trying to make her feel bad. Furina's worked harder than she EVER will.

#as someone with depression and who's highly sensitive this story quest hurt a LOT because ive also encountered people who don't understand. #i've been told i need to get over my anxiety. i've been asked what am i so tired from since i just lay in bed. #so furina's character and how she was treated hit very very hard for me. she's isolating herself and not coping well but she is TRYING. #she's trying so hard and she equates her worth to her role. like she literally tells you that she serves no more use to anyone. #and i wanted to shake her so hard. because it's not about what she can do #she has worth simply because she exists. full stop. she is loved and she is appreciated just for being herself #her worth isn't decided by her power yk?? #i hope she can rest and heal and find some good friends - after the way mc and paimon treated her i honestly don't think they should be #or if they are; they'd have to work to earn her trust cuz good LORD. they treated her so weird and so tone deaf!! #i've seen a lot of people complaining about it too so im glad im not alone. #anyway. there is something wrong with me i have cried actual tears over furina please god she needs a hug #and to be told she did a good job and she can rest now and things will get better #4.2 spoilers #genshin impact #furina

Imagine Cas and Sam and Dean all searching through lore books for a way to help restore Jack's human soul, and they come up with natta/goose egg/bupkis. But then Cas is standing in line at a gas station check out with Dean when he spots a Woman's World magazine with a blurb on the cover that reads, '10 Ways to Revitalize Your Body and Soul!' So he quickly grabs it and makes Dean pay for it, and he's reading off a list of things while they drive home in the Impala like: try yoga! Go to the beach! Eat a home cooked meal! Don't be afraid to share your feelings with your loved ones! Redecorate your living space! Have a spa day! Start a garden! Hug someone at least once a day! ect. And Cas figures he's been spoken to by the divine feminine and he's going to trust the universe with this one and decides that they all need to try this new ritual, for Jack. (Much to Dean's dismay.)

#jack kline #destiel #castiel #supernatural #Sam would be so down #because this all sounds very healthy #its just so fluffy #I swear I'm usually very angsty and brooding #but this idea just won't leave me alone and I don't have time rn to write a fic about it #future fic ideas #dadstiel #dragging Dean kicking and screaming to a place of mental healing #and for once being forced to treat himself with kindness and respect #like deans soul would also be restored #let’s be real

Flying Low

A magical AU where Law is a raven shapeshifter, but has had his wings torn off, so he is always using a cane to balance himself and he lives in seclusion in the forest. He absolutely doesn't trust, well, anyone. Whether humans or other shapeshifters or any other race, he doesn't approach anyone and does everything he can to not let them approach his home either. But that changes when one day a guy just falls from the sky. It literally falls from the sky. Right in the middle of Law's herb garden and although he really wants to get rid of this invader, he can't get rid of his curiosity because Law's house is in the middle of the forest, far from peaks or mountains, so where the hell is this guy came from and, even better, how did he survive the fall? Curiosity (and his sense of duty as a healer) causes Law to drag the guy inside and nurse him back to health. 'The guy' soon wakes up and gets a name, Luffy, who reveals himself to be a priest of the Sun God's temple, which makes sense to Law, since Luffy's magic seems totally opposite to his, a raven whose species is constantly attributed to the Goddess of Darkness, Nika's enemy. All this, however, does not explain how Luffy fell out of nowhere from the sky and it only gets worse when not even Luffy knows how it happens. Unfortunately for Law, meeting Luffy is a path of no return and in the blink of an eye his isolated and peaceful life is disturbed by the priest who, after returning to full health, becomes a noisy guest in Law's small cabin. Things get weird when Law's wings start to grow back, white instead of black, at the same time that Luffy also starts to change. For worse. His health simply declines and his magic grows and becomes out of control, becoming a danger to everything around him, excluding, in some way, Law. Desperate to understand and help Luffy, Law begins his journey out of seclusion toward the capital's temple, where Luffy is said to serve as a priest. But dragging a time bomb in the shape of a man all the way to the capital is not simple when you are alone and Law has no option but to accept the growing number of people who seem to be drawn into Luffy's orbit and who decide to accompany them on the journey

#one piece #lawlu #lulaw #Law said 'I want to live in peace alone in a forest' and Luffy took it as a personal challenge #is just one piece but magical shapped #also luffy is about to explode #Other than that it's basically magic op #law said 'I want to take Luffy to the temple as quickly and as peacefully as possible' and EVERYONE took this as a personal challenge #nakamaship is what it is #Luffy is Nika but I think we already knew that. #he simply sealed himself in a human form or something and ended up awakening the seal when he began unconsciously healing Law's wings. #law said 'I don't want friends' and as always people felt challenged #People need to leave this guy alone he's going to have an aneurysm #This was supposed to be a winged au but I forgot what I was going to write lol #There is Zoro a half-blood tiger #Sanji a fugitive prince #Ussop a cursed wooden doll whose magic is highly fabricated based on his lies #Nami a witch who doesn't seem to know she has witch blood #Robin a mysterious shapeshifter who refuses to show her animal form (shes a godamn octopus) #Franky a robot who #similar to ussop #was cursed with sapience #Brook an undead whose bones were the only thing left #And Jimbe a fishman who was far from home at sea #they simply meet on the way #they look at Luffy (a strange and very friendly guy who attracts them) and Law (a grumpy guy who doesn't want them around) #they think 'hmm I should join the party' #much to law's despair lmao

avior really fell off huh (audience booing as i am dragged offstage)

#redacted asmr #redacted audio #redactedverse #art #illustration #redacted avior #my avior design hasn't really changed since last year but it needed a fresh coat of paint so TADA #eagle eyed viewers will notice that post-fall avior's nose has been broken and healed incorrectly #bro broke EVERYTHING i don't think it's too hard to imagine his nose got mashed #and the magic soup would have put him back together fairly effectively #i figured since he doesn't breathe and doesn't have access to a mirror (and is completely alone) he probably didn't care about his nose #that's my excuse anyway #idk man something about designing characters who are Worse Off Now really fries my rice #those dark circles aren't leaving any time soon

Sorry that I'm ignoring all my messages I'm a couple drinks in and I need to get some other stuff out. Have I mentioned how incredibly hot it is that Merrill has absolutely no healing spells at all.

#i still don't know wtf was happening with varric but mary kirby ABSOLUTELY knew what she was doing w merrill #like the entire structuring of her arc and that specific thing mary said #about subverting the thing about women being endlessly selfless and giving by having it backfire for merrill every time #and then ON TOP OF THAT her skill tree is entirely damage focused and the only healing that takes place is for her alone #her demon is pride. im sorry i know this is scattered im just so. i think i hauve covid

[azulashengrottospiano]

guys im so sorry depression and evil thoughts have been kicking my ass again and ive come to the realization that i will always have to live with them. not fun but i am going to sleep now so hopefully i feel better in the morning.

#if you guys are going through the same thing this time of year #because i know it's a tough part #you're not alone #this is a safe space for you #i know im very vocal about my emotions even though i don't have to be #but it's because it's so important to talk about it #i just have to get through finals and i'll be okay again #but right now im not and i think it's alright to admit that #anyways. i'll stop saying all the things i can't say irl on here #and let you guys know that i love you #depression might be kicking my ass but it's only left me with bruises #those heal so i'll be alright #auburn's rambles <3 #tw depression #tw mental health

[poisonousquinzel]

sweetie im so sorry you're not being allowed to flourish in live action and kill that damned clown, they don't deserve you

#harley quinn #harleen quinzel #dc comics #tw abuse mention #bop was good certainly but its still not like an amazing telling of her story #none of those three have actually finished the job. tss at least had a scene where she references him and his treatment #but its never flat out stated. they just cant say hes physically abusive and that he hits her for some reason #bop literally could have done that in just the opening alone #they could have just told her actual story and not erase her jewishness and make it clear how the relationship was #because if you don't know it's easy to take it as a casual relationship breakup so sure shes sad #they could have made it so the ending of the animated section merged with the live action and have the moment when she gets kicked out #actually be a nod to the Mad L0ve ending. they dont even need jared. #just have a dude in a green wig vaguely shown in the shadows looking out of a broken window and pan down to Harley on the ground #have her go through her break up woes but make it so she's visibly healing from injuries cause by him #its literally so simple ffs

#not me literally writing 1863635 tickles hcs about this guy HE MAKES ME LOSE MY MIND #never though I would get attatched to him #literally watching the first ep sent a screenshot of him to my friend saying 'If he dies I'm dropping out' #one minute after I was sending her screams #anyway #never been so close to writing a self insert fic in MY ENTIRE LIFE. probably will commission some art w him in the future LIKE AAAAA #Wanna put him in a mcrowave and SHAKE BECAUSE HOW DARE YOU. HOW DARE YOU LEAVE MARKS HOW DARE YOU LEAVE A PIECE OF YOURSELF IN EVERY VILLAG #EVERY FRIEND EVERY ADVENTURE EVERY INTERACTION #and don't even let me start talking about Friern because I will go crazy #this anime broke and healed me so much #Kanene being Kanene #not even going to tag this w the anime I shall perish alone #'oh but kanene when you say a self insert you mean a reade-' nope. i'm dragging my sona by the hand and throwing into that world #and then carefully building an entire background with daydreamed interactions and relationships until I get to the point of cheer up tickle #Gosh haven't done one of those since..... 2018 I think #Time to get my dear oc out of under my bed as it seems

Your child self was right when they thought they deserved better. They were right when they said they weren't being treated fair. They were absolutely right in saying they are allowed to be upset or even angry.

Your child self was right. And you're still allowed to say that what happened to you was unfair - that you deserved better. You're right to be upset or even angry. Your child self was not wrong.

#trauma #recovery #mental health #encouragement #that post that said 'i don't want to heal my inner child i want to gove him a gun' was actually really helpful for my healing #like it unironically reframed the way i saw my child self #because i still framed my past as a shameful thing that i brought upon myself when i hadn't... #...nobody asks for that treatment. so i deserve to express my displeasure at having been subjected through it... #...i don't think it's helpful to shove away the 'dark' feelings because they're 'bad'... #...bad emotions aren't a thing. what is a bad thing - i think - is to deprive yourself of the space to have them or express them... #...even when you're alone and even when you can express those emotions... #...that shit isn't very conducive to healing at least from my experiences #and i've TRIED that. for years! and it's only lead to more pain to heal from #i hope this rant isn't coming across poorly i'm just passionate about talking about this #unreality tw #can't ever be too sure <3 #these posts are intended to help but i know the way i word things doesn't do it for everybody
