#They both were in stressful situations

[riacte]

so hey guys i finished dungeon meshi yesterday and i'm still thinking about it

#ria.txt #i spoiled myself so at first i was like 'this is bonkers wtf are they doing in those last few chapters?????' #but then it was like. yeah. i see #love those ch when it's just clearly putting the squad into Situations #also. izutsumi #what i really liked was how tightly the protagonist and the deuteragonist were wound up in the overall themes #the plot the themes the conflict the characters it was very neatly connected #hence i am also now accidentally invested in whatever going on between laios and marcille #not just platonic not romantic not enemies i just think they work well tgt and deeply care for each other its great watching them develop #it's the leader + most trusted advisor / anxious girlfailure + the annoying freak she's somehow attached to vibes #haha that rabbit chapter with marcille. hahha i was like what the fuck man. it was funny and then boom whump [tears streaming down my face] #those shapeshifter chs were sooo much fun esp seeing other chara's perceptions of each other. stealing that #the changeling ones were great too elf senshi is the fucking funniest he looks sooooooo unserious #marcille's evolving perception with death starting with saving falin and saving the squad and her nightmares of outliving everyone- #-and her dad and her 'temper tantrum' and UGH when at the end she said she was fine with falin not coming back.... WAAA. OUGH. #i think dunmeshi handled the trope of 'prophecy of chosen one becoming king' pretty well and it makes sense why laios is the protag #the worldbuilding is so thoughtful as well i liked seeing different characters with different worldviews interact #very solid and well rounded series wooo #the main 4 has such a fun dynamic together #anyways. dunmeshi au..... #more like borrowing the worldbuilding bc charas are too nuanced for a one to one comparison #ren is like some prince of his own species but he's like 34th in line and no one cares about him so he fucks off to eat monsters #which is why he's both snobbish AND a total freak when it comes to his food taste #false is originally in for the money from ren and plans to scam him but unfortunately the cringefail swag captures her #martyn is Obnoxiously Clueless and thinks he's smart but he's not. he's resourceful but also pathetic and crazy #stress cant cook but she thinks she does so everyone goes (≖_≖ ) when she picks up a pot. they delegate her to killing and chopping duty #the mvp is iskall who keeps on saving everyone's asses and somehow has resources for everyone #i think ren is actually aware false is going to scam him but he has too much money to spend anyway and he thinks shes cool so he lets her?? #and somehow she doesnt take the money and run. and goes back to eating monsters w/ the party. everyone is crazy

So, in the fic where Tim gets his appendix out, Jason tells him that he usually freaks out before he gets put under, not after. Now that Tim knows, how would he comfort Jason? I'm thinking, like, imagine that Jason breaks his leg badly on patrol, so urgent surgery is in order. Would Tim try to prevent him from freaking out? How?

P.s. i said i a thousand rimes bur I love your works!! You're amazing!!

Ooh so I've actually answered a similar question pretty recently (although that was focused more on the needle aspect than the anesthesia/loss of control aspect which I headcanon to be Jason's main issue with being put under)

Honestly? I think Tim would be the worst family member to try to comfort Jason through something like this. Not for anything that Tim is doing right or wrong, just because anesthesia is something that really freaks Jason out, and his response to being freaked out is a) to angry cry, and b) to lash out at people. Because he knows this about himself, and he's also extremely protective of Tim, he tries not to let Tim see him when he's not fully in control of himself. So while Jason would totally be great in a crisis involving Tim, he does terribly when the roles are reversed.

BUT that being said, if Tim was the only one available, I think Tim would end up offering his hand to squeeze, and Jason would hesitate at first but eventually take it. He'd probably also be trying really hard not to cry, which Tim would very intentionally act as through he wasn't noticing because at the end of the day, Jason needs his dignity more than anything.

#settle our bones #might not really be the answer you were hoping for but i think jason gets suuuper cagey when he's feeling vulnerable #and nothing makes him feel vulnerable more than when his inhibitions are being forcibly removed from him #and he loses all agency #like while being put under #Dick in this series has a LOT of practice brushing things off #and meeting Jason where he's at #but Tim isn't nearly as well versed in it so it trips him up a lot more #but he's also growing and learning and making progress the more time he spends with the Waynes #so while in the 'everybody gets the hell flu' fic he was suuuper wigged out by Jason's trauma responses #he gets less and less so as time goes on and he starts to understand his family more #even in the migraine fic i just posted recently he feels comfortable enough to argue with Jason while they're both in a stressful situation #which i see as progress for him #anyway thank you so much for your kind words and I really appreciate the question!!

I tried but couldn't add any words to my "for legal purposes Tensei had to marry Masaki" fic however different idea: au where Masaki and Tensei said they'd marry each other if both reached 30 single, and Masaki is now just like "ah ha he's going to be dating someone in two years tho right. In eighteen months right. In one year right-"

#huh. seems like the setup for these two is always something contrived. #'I'm involved in a case and you're the prime suspect even tho we both know the secret third answer to who did it' #'i gotta marry this guy because he could put me in jail if i don't' #'haha we said we would marry each other but it was a joke right. right. you were joking at least right.' #heck maybe even the vampire au counts in this trend #now of course: i don't care and it amuses me how contrived i can make it #but i am also curious why them etc etc you know #Masaki delima of the hour: if i don't get a fake boyfriend right now I'll have to reckon with the real love of my life confirming whether #or not he was joking whenever they made that dumb bet promise thing #which #considering the poor man is a stress blorbo #that's honestly a way better situation than the others i stick him in #he'd still be approximately the same amount of anxious tho fhfhgjh

1. it’s my 24th birthday today, so my goal of being published by the time i’m 25 is now a one year looming monster, but i never specified what kind of published and am currently looking in various literary magazines that are recommended for writers who have yet to be published, so i’m surprisingly confident that i can make it work? and tbh even if whatever i write isn’t officially published before my 25th birthday, if i have someone in the process of being published then i’ll be happy!! no matter what though, i’m gonna try to be proud of myself for at least giving it my best shot!!

2. i honestly love that my birthday is on the ides of march because the ides of march meme shitposting is only a thing on tumblr but it also being my birthday makes it easier to like. be excited about the ides of march outside of tumblr. like even in person i can be like “it’s my birthday! i’m an ides of march babe (:” and if someone is like oh what’s that? or if they say something along the lines of oh like julius caesar? i can be like yep!! and even if it’s a small thing outside of tumblr it brings me immense enjoyment and amusement being able to bring it up off of tumblr

3. transportation situation has been very rough since june 2023 when i totalled my car, my gap insurance are being assholes and i ended up putting my foot down on the phone with them yesterday which i’m pretty proud of because i am NOT a confrontational person (something i’ve been working on this past year, so seeing some improvement with my ability to hold my ground and not be a pushover yesterday was very cool!!) i was told i’d get a response from them by friday next week no matter what, and if i don’t then friday of next week i will continue to wreak havoc upon them. but my moms car which i’ve been using since my accident broke down yesterday, hopefully it’s fixable but my parents were saying it might be done for, so trying to think of how i’m gonna get to work next week is kind of stressing me out lmao, but for now i’m just gonna focus on enjoying my birthday the best i can because i don’t want to start off being 24 with an overwhelming anxiety for something that won’t be a potential issue until monday. plus i already messaged my boss today to let her know that i’m going to do everything i can to make it work out but just so she’s in the loop and knows of the potential of me not being able to make my morning shifts (one of my coworkers said she’s more than happy to give me a ride for our afternoon shifts which does help relieve some of the stress!) and i told her i’d let her know for sure sunday so that if necessary she can have time to figure out someone to fill in for me in the mornings!

overall: life is weird and i ended being 23 yesterday with a shitty situation but a positive outlook and i am going to enjoy my first day of being 24 no matter what because honestly i fucking earned it. happy friday everyone, i hope it’s a good day for you and me both!

#aritalks #i did cry a little bit when i first woke up because i dont really know what to do about work and also i hate not having a car i can use #not only because of the work aspect but also getting my license when i was 18 gave me a freedom i didn’t have before #and i don’t like having to rely on other people just to like go to the fucking store or something yk #but then my best friend/roommate messaged me happy birthday and i was like fuck it! today is going to be a good day! #the stressful uncertainties can wait until tomorrow #also one of my best friends who hasn’t said happy birthday to me the past two years #(not intentionally im p sure they were just busy on my birthdays the past two years #and then had that moment of ‘oh shit i didnt send a message fuck i think its too late now’ which i totally get bc anxiety things yk) #was one of the first people to message me happy birthday!! #i’m also hoping to still be able to go see my mom and then stay the night at my dads tonight #so i can see both my parents and also my baby siblings for my birthday #my dads working today but after he texted happy birthday i sent him a text asking if he thinks we could still make it work #my mom is asleep still i think (she called me at midnight and left a voicemail singing happy birthday!! but her sleep schedule has been all #over the place recently so i’m waiting until 11:30 to call her which is in like 30 mins) #but she said something yesterday about driving out to me to give me a hug and also bring me my diabetes stuff that got delivered #(her house is my mailing address because i know it’s not going to change bc it’s my great grandparents house that she’s partially inhereting #when my great grandpa dies but since i have moved out of my dads my address has changed twice and i didnt have a mailbox at my last place so #just for the sake of consistency and not having to worry about important shit getting sent to the wrong address i’ve had her house as my #mailing address since i moved out of my dads at 19) #so i think i’m gonna ask her if she can just pick me up instead so i can go to her house w her and hang out with her #and hopefully my dad will be able to at least stop by with my siblings so i can see them too #i’d like to stay the night with them but if we can’t make it happen then i can also stay the night w my mom and hopefully tomorrow figure #out the car situation. might have to rent a car for a week if i can afford it? best case scenario is my moms car can be fixed but i still #dont know whats wrong with it ik there are two potential problems and one is fixable the other is not #the fixable one would cost like $150-$400 to fix depending on if we get a used part or a new one #if its $150-$200 ish i can probably afford to pay for the whole thing or at least most of it #but if its more than that hopefully my dad or one of my family members can help #and i can just pay them back in like $50 increments with my next few paychecks #just realized i said i wouldnt worry abt the car thing today and also i think im at tag limit to i’ll stop now lmao xoxo gossip girl ❤️

Gorgeous night for the Prom!

#de-stress me randomacy #gen 6: march #eartha goth #tanya goth #Tanya was Prom queen #Eartha got into 2 fights #neither had dates and both were humiliated by being denied a dance #and then I started having Error 12 issues #there was a minor groundhog day situation #where I played Saturday 5 or 6 times without being able to save #and finally admitted to defeat #after much trial and error it turned out my last stable save was 4 days earlier #fml

what if i'm sosososososo tired. what then

#the burn out is swiftly approaching #i'm going to go insane at the beginning of this project i asked basic questions like. what size do you want these labels? #do you want them in both of the languages of this province so to adhere to the language laws? #and the answer was for both: no :) it's okay #so i a) estimated the size based on vibes because i was given nothing else #and b) did them all in english #and then i get told. oh no the labels are too big!!! you have to resize!! no not to the template the printers sent me just go by vibes!!!! #(i had to resize them for her TWICE) #and now i'm being asked if i can put both languages in #i cannot stress how long ago these labels were finished #and how i asked very specifically about both these things at the beginning to avoid this very situation #anyways i'm losing my fucking mind #also i worked 40+ hours in the last 4 days and i'm exhausted and my one day off is for design meetings and then back to work for another 3

*smacking myself in the face* SHUT UP BRAIN SHUT UP

#like girl this is NOT something I need to spend every waking minute stressing out and making myself miserable about #and YET #LITERALLY LOOSEN UP I WANNA BE ABLE TO BREATHE AGAIN #Lu rambles #literally nothing has happened I went out with the theatre boy ONE time and we chatted and it was fine. I said some stuff #that in retrospect was probably super awkward but like that's life. like it was just a chill hang out except for that #I HATE social situations. theatre is one thing bc it's With A Purpose but just sitting and talking to someone #is REALLY REALLY HARD. I feel small and terrified like a frightened animal. #but it was fine! it was literally fine!!! at the end we were both like ''we should hang out again sometime'' even though #neither of us is sure if we want like... a Relationship(TM). we're just hanging out bc we get along well. it's Normal #so WHYYYYYY can I not just feel any peace or confidence anymore why did I do this to myself #I wish I'd never said anything to him in the first place. like it was chill and easy to just be friends but now?? UGH #I literally do not care enough to be THIS freaked out about it and I know that logically and yet my brain won't stop panicking constantly #I just want to RELAX 😭 #shrimp emotions

work team late christmas lunch tomorrow and im anxious (as usual) b/c i'm more of a shut-in than ever these days and The Fatigue means I have less energy to devote to sensory regulation and masking and we're going to a restaurant that I've never been to before which is always a minefield

#its a huge buffet style place which is a blessing and a curse #b/c it means there's more than likely safe foods available #but also both large restaurants and buffet situations stress me out #and like I don't have to go but again im pretty much a complete shut-in I don't talk to anyone or go anywhere #and it'd be nice to go out and see people for a change #and i like my coworkers it will be nice to hang out with them I haven't seen them in person since... September? idk its been months #i guess what im trying to say is i wish things were easier

ok well what if. i swapped luke and asch. for my time travel au. just at the very end.

#.text #tales of the abyss #listen okay i have some thoughts about it. #mostly in that i think that luke had it planned for a while. to the point where he mightve told jade in advance. #that if at some point the next day in hod. if luke disappears and does not come back. do not look for him. #because i think luke is probably thinking. he has had the chance to say goodbye. but asch has not. and he doesnt want to take that away #for a second time. so he thinks hes doing asch a kindness #whereas asch thinks hes being cruel. like for all theyve been able to make up over while they were trying to get to that point #i dont think asch is capable of understanding luke while in such stressful situations. he acts like he thinks calm under pressure #and maybe he is calm Enough that he knows what to do and how things will end. but that does not change how he actually acts. #and the whole point of the time travel au is that they learn to understand each other. and for asch to understand himself. #and i dont think he'd be able to fully understand luke without a) seeing how his friends react and talk about him #in a setting that isnt The Middle Of Battle or after the events of akzeriuth (ie high stress situations) #b) being given the chance to live longer than him in a situation where luke decided to switch places. #like i truly think the tower of rem. where luke first decided to switch places and die in asch's stead. is when asch started to Understand #am i making ANY sense #anyways its also because there is meaning and symbolism to it (duh!!) #because there is no mystery epilogue man in this au 🫶 he is gone they are both gone. they got their chance to come back #and they used it as wisely as they could. and they got to live. if only for a little bit longer. #oh im remembering. luke's body disappears when he dies. asch is going to disappear into the core alone. nvm au cancelled #wow isnt that symbolic. asch is alone yet again. thumbs down #i know the order of their deaths and especially how they die have meaning (asch dies for luke as luke almost died for him. #he extends his newfound trust into luke as his final action. etc etc) (and luke only getting to be close to asch once hes dead) #but thats already happened and both of those things get to also happen again over the course of Redoing History #as you do in time travel aus #momentarily considered having luke live after the fight with the knights but tbh i dont think either of them could have won that fight #like they are both actively dying. the only thing holding luke together is sticks and glue. and asch is in pain 24/7. #there are dozens of well trained knights fighting with the intent to kill. and they were alone. either of them would have died then #if they fought together it would be different but there just. was not any time #it was too late. and also i ran out of tags goodbye

          i see ace’s post on the dash again and i feel the need to point it out on my blog too: not counting dmtnt (because nope), Jack has only ever been drunk twice in the entire trilogy. he’s seen drinking, yes, but no more heavily than any other character around him aside from a) when Elizabeth gets him drunk on the island in CotBP, and b) at the start of DMC when Jack is implied to have drunk the entire bottle of rum on his desk before stumbling down to find more and encountering Bootstrap

#&. don’t ever insult captain jack sparrow in front of me ( ooc. ) #it's not as big of a character trait for jack as fanon has tried to make out over the past 20 years #hence why i hate his characterisation in dmtnt because it really plays to those flanderised stereotypes #jack does not need to drink in order to function. he does however drink in order to cope with stressful situations #both of those aforementioned moments were stressful/difficult for him in one way or another #on the island he'd just lost the pearl and been marooned again #at the start of dmc his compass is not working and he knows he has davy jones on his tail (proven by bootstrap's appearance) #it's the same in tpof. the only moment jack exhibits no real self control in regards to his drinking #is just after beckett blackmails him into transporting slaves on his ship

[treecakes]

still like. majorly confused by that scene in the moon-splitting festival arc where natsume and hiiragi were hit with a whole pile of logs that fell on them. like yeah they got knocked out but i feel like a pile of logs falling on you from several feet up in the air should give you a concussion or something. at the least.

#also like how. immediately before that. natsume got pushed off the balcony into the river. and hiiragi jumped after him. and they somehow #didn’t land on the at least 10ft of rocks between the balcony and the river #i’m not sure how natsume is alive at this point. he’s been through a lot but that arc was kind of insane for him #and then hiiragi was dealing with both him and natori being stressed out and in insane situations #she was just there for the ride. and ended up in basically every dangerous situation with natsume #she needs a vacation. natori. give your familiars time off PLEASE #she better have had the next three weeks off. good lord. what were urihime and sasago doing during that arc 😭

dude today at school i was walking through the hallways, MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, when i overheard these two guys in the hallways repeating to each other, "SHAWTY ALL UP ON MY PENISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" and then they both turned around, saw me, and then started laughing at me for no reason ??????

#i like cannot stress ENOUGH how much i was MINDING MY OWN GODDAMN BUSINESS #but i heard them repeating that back and forth over and over then they both randomly turned around and looked at me weird #then started laughing at me ????? and i know they were laughing at me specifically bc one of them pointed at me too ??? #WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO O IN THAT SITUATION ???

[iloveyoumorethansoup]

Nothing is funnier to me than being incredibly self aware and still acting a fool. Taking an L across the board

#no bc like. i spend a Lot of time thinking. which isn’t a bad thing for me! i enjoy thinking and it does not bring me stress #often times I spend a lot of time thinking before writing these. like meditation to me #though I do find typing out my thoughts creates much more fleshed out thoughts that make sense bc I feel as if someone were to read it #they should be able to understand both the situation and my thought process and any other things which gives me a better view too #anyways I understand myself really good which is great! that wasn’t always the case #unfortunately. this does not mean that I am so smart about what I do and say #bc something will happen. I’ll know how I want to respond in a positive manner. and then I will be so very awkward and I’m like oh girl no #and what’s worse! i can be like. oh that comes from this. hmm. this will happen again #like for example! I cannot tell a person ‘I love you’ I cannot do it #i can only say those words as if they are a science specimen or if it’s like. I’m obviously teasing/flirting with someone to get a reaction #this also extends to if someone tells me they love me just as like a kind appreciative gesture that I’m just like 🧍‍♀️ #like. i will say thank you. and that is all. it is so bad. oh god #no bc I have this coworker who is so nice to me and I swear whenever something goes wrong she just appears and is like I can fix that for u #and she’s also funny so like if she ever asks me for something I’ll go out of my way to make it happen #and whenever I do she’s just like you know I love you! #and I’m over here like 🧍‍♀️ thank you :) #like girl ur one of my favorite people I am so sorry I am like this I will continue to be like this #oh god there was one time I was like what if I say ‘you too’ theoretically I can say that yes? no. it sounded like a squeak #and the entire time I’m just sitting here like oh cool cool here comes my mouth to open and not say what I want it to say #and then be like. ooh. that one hurt to hear. yikes #my family dynamic is not verbally affectionate whatsoever. so that’s like. not something I’ve ever said. also I’m very detached about things #so it’s very out of my usual. i had to teach myself to tell my best friend I loved her. fun fact if I ever see her again it’ll be too soon! #so. watching myself make clown moves on the regular and knowing exactly why. ooh. man it’s hard to watch but I will remain like this #I’m like oh I know it’s coming I know why it’s coming and then it does and I’m like oh boy I did it again why #also like. its nice to be appreciated I will say. i like hearing it. i just need to disappear on the spot for a moment #soup talks #typing this out the entire time also I wanted to show more examples and I definitely ran out of space. here is a very in depth explanation #bc it just occurred not that long ago. shoutout to where I work I like the people a lot #but also I’ll sooner die than be like hey wanna know why I am the way I am i have issues #i started to tell another story and needing only a few tags. hit thirty. ouch

Shakes the bars of my cage I need to draw soooo bad I need to draw I need to draw let me draw I have to draw I need to draw I must draw (<- has been too sick to be on electronics much and doesn't like doing traditional art)

#rat rambles #Im starting to feel better tho Im betting within a day or two Ill have made a full recovery #but I just have so many things I wanna draw all the sudden and its killing me #its because I've been thinking abt ocs again and that gives me a lot more options lol #in particular I've been thinking abt marci and toon more again recently #its just the two of them flirting in their mutual workplace environment with toon being dead serious and marci doing it ironically #the main thing is that marci was rly under the impression that toon like. hated her and was taunting her since they're friends with loonie #who long story short is marci's ex childhood best friend who she fell out with after the death of loonie's mom #the two are not on good terms in the slightest and marci knows very well that loonie would want her dead if she had been more honest #so as toon starts to like get more casual and like genuine with marci as the two spend more time together marci warms up somewhat but still #doesn't rly see toon as a friendly figure until they take her out to a museum and marci kind of snaps a bit and asks toon to stop beating #around the bush and is caught off guard when toon seems genuinely kind of hurt and meekly explains that they were just trying to help her #because she had seemed rly stressed and sad all the time and they thought that their lil dates had been helping her relax a bit #that confrontation left marci initially feeling confused but after the initial shock she was mostly left with a sense of dread and guilt #partially because she had just snapped at someone who she had grown to care abt for no reason and partially because she now felt that she #was hiding stuff from toon that would cause them to change their mind on her immediately if they knew #aka that she and loonie are divorced and that she thinks its mom sucked absolute ass (which she did) #oh and also that she used to have a crush on the guy that killed its mom who was also his mom which is also the reason she hates said mom #said mom treated him (aka midas) like shit and tried to get him killed several times #so when all hell broke loose marci at the end ended up mourning midas much more than his mom who everyone else was mourning #including loonie since it actually had a very positive relationship with its mom and a very distant relationship from its siblings #now marci never admitted all of this to anyone but she did act on those feelings to eventually lash out at loonie causing a huge fight #basically she yelled at it for being pushy and clingy and forcing her into a job she didnt want and expecting her to solve all its problems #the two dont necessarily hate eachother but they definitely heavily resent eachother #they still often long for eachothers companionship but not nearly enough for either to wanna make ammends #so toon quite liking both of them causes some internal conflict for the both of them #loonie is fully aware that toon has a big ol crush on marci but doesnt stop them from being friends with her even if it makes it sad #and marci rly wishes that toon wasnt friends with loonie but feels guilty for feeling that way #its a complicated situation and one that rly isn't helped by the fact that one of the three has the dead god queen mom #loonie could get away with a Lot and everyone knows it

stress daydreams… ur so real for that

one of the worst things abt living in l*ndon is that you must be prepared for a bastilledan jumpscare at any moment

#ask #anon #im like a doomsday prepper but instead i prep for insane scenarios in which i run into a member of that band #ok my three top scenarios from probably most to least likely #1. im on the tube and i see bastilledan and try to be chill #but for some reason i have to unlock my phone and he sees that my background is a photo of him #2. i am revealing my status as a die hard b*stille fan to someone who has been deemed acceptable to have that info #and then theyre like oh i know someone in that band #but by then its too late #(i famously matched with one of their cousins on hinge so more likely than you might think) #3. i end up in a situation where i am peer pressured into taking a picture with bastilledan #and it ends up looking like we're related #dont ask me why this one stresses me out so much we dont even look similar were just both white people with blue eyes #but it does concern me
