#and very mentally taxing

[thegreatyin]

Same spouse!!!

my personal headcanon is that every player with this item is married to every other player with it

that's hilarious. accepted

#personally i just mentally lump in every npc the scoundrel WOULD marry that isnt properly marriageable #the blind pianist is part of the procession. in my heart. #ask #fallen london #tbh the scoundrel has a lot of attachment and... shall we say. commitment issues. dedication issues. #they're probably a very hard to get along with spouse and im not entirely confident half of the procession arent like #random interactions they had one night and then drunk way too much absinthe and suddenly woke up married to them. #as you do. #but also there maybe is a speck of the capacity for love SOMEWHERE in their little heart. MAYBE. if you squint #rrrrrrrreeeeaaaallllyyyy hard. and pull out a microscope. and tune it all the way up. and use a second additional microscope. #there just might be a speck in there. it's like the grinch but they just get worse instead #also i think caeru is part of the procession probably solely for tax reasons or something and they're Both petty and squabbling over it

#melshian #ruescott melshi #cassian andor #andor #my art #had a very mentally and socially taxing weekend and needed to draw something extra tender

[neverunnie]

teaching is kind of exhausting

#i drew this for this year's rosho week way back #but im still very proud of it #mad respect to rosho for being so dedicated to his job knowing full well how mentally taxing it is #rosho tsutsujimori #hypmic #hypnosis mic #fanart #ron drawings

don’t know if the fact that I cannot enjoy 99% of fanfiction I open is due to me being an adult with bills to pay or the fact that chronic academic reading has made me a very poor audience for low-stakes hobby writing or if it’s the depression or if I’ve just been cursed to only find shit I instantly dislike

#in the mood for something comfortable and familiar but not too comfortable or familiar but also not novel but something new. but not #idk I used to read and write so much of it early pandemic and it was really fun and enjoyable #feel like I’ve been in a rut for the past year with fun hobby stuff yanno. like I’ve just been reading #fucking adorno and whatnot. which is fun but mentally very taxing

[metanarrates]

my special talent is turning thoughtless cute escapist fantasy stuff into absolutely fucked horror fuel. its active even when i am very ill and reading weird otome isekai to relax

#narrates #i am absolutely NOT as sharp as I want to be because im sick. hence the fluffy isekai manga #i always have fun analyzing it but from a very different and less mentally taxing perspective than I do most things #since i tend to analyze it from the angle of 'what kind of escapist fantasy is being appealed to in this story?' #but even when my analytical skills are dull i am Literally Always going. oh this could be horror fuel with a more self aware protagonist

I'm glad you all think I'm well articulated because I've had two bloody noses today, throw up in my mouth every time I get a notification, haven't left my bed in 6 hours, eaten anything since yesterday afternoon, or brushed my teeth. So. Sunshine and rainbows everybody I'm doing great.

#I've calmed myself down a little bit and made moral qualms with myself but I'm still very much in the trenches emotionally #the fact that so many people are validating my feelings is making me feel a lot less alone #tw eating disorder -> #honestly ever since dream posted the picture of his scars it really triggered me #I was very anorexic during quarantine and i had gotten better #im not doing as bad then as i was then but this whole situation is so mentally taxing that nothing even smells good #things are tough. I can't lose this. and maybe some of what im saying is copium but it's really all i have left

[palettepainter]

#Vent-ish #warning for dark themes #This year was a rough one #I initially wanted to do a longer comic #but honestly trying to put all those emotions I've felt over this year into a big comic just felt draining #It's been a messy year #Messy #stressful #emotional #and very mentally taxing #but I'm still here #That's worth celebrating for me #Sona

[uncanny-tranny]

I truly believe instead of treating weight loss as an across-the-board positive and weight gain as a moral failure, we should start to celebrate when one reaches a personal milestone.

The assumption that all weight loss is good and all weight gain is bad is one which has damaged and continues to damage us. Weight loss/weight gain is morally neutral. You do not become a more valuable person when you lose weight, and you do not become worth less when you gain it. Your worth comes from the fact that you are a fully-realized human being, not because you have a certain number on a scale. You are worth so much.

#body positivity #body neutrality #weight tw #weight mention tw #fatphobia #fatphobia tw #body shaming tw #i'm trying to think of as many tags because i know this is a delicate subject but i still think i want to address it #this matters to me because we ALL gain and lose weight and nobody should feel TERROR at the THOUGHT of their body changing naturally #the mental distress that comes from the very notion of not being unhealthy but of your body doing what it does naturally is very taxing... #...and it is mental torture. nobody should EVER be put in that position #if nothing else i truly believe in this #i'm watching a video about this topic if you couldn't tell

Hello ♡ It's been a while!

It's been over a year I think? I haven't kept track tbqh

I'm not really back, because I want to be noncommittal as possible (since I have a tendency to disappear when my motivation to write does)

But this is me saying that I'm finally working on under the rose again! ♡

I'd all but abandoned it months ago, but yesterday I had a burst of energy and managed to write a couple hundred words. Tonight, the total is 1300. It's not much, but it's a start!

I don't talk about my personal life for many reasons, but this year has been one of the most difficult I've ever experienced. The last thing on my mind has been Will and Azul, as much as I wish they'd kept occupying every inch of it like they used to.

That spark is coming back, I think! ♡ (More in the tags since this is getting long)

#I have lots of plans for this story since what I have published is barely one third of the entire thing #It works in three acts if I'm remembering my outline correctly. I'm still re-familiarizing myself with it #But yes I do intend on trying to get part 2 of ch. 9 out in the coming weeks! #I also wanted to continue the Ruby x Bobby x Stef love triangle in a band au setting but I'm seeing that the app is gone? #I cannot even begin to describe how upset I am that S1-3 are all gone before I was able to replay properly #Not to do a sharp turn but it's been a very taxing year mentally and I want to start the new year off by trying to work on a resolution #Which is finishing a fic! I don't know if I'll finish it in 2024 but I'm determined to write as much as I'm able #Anyway I will still be a fandom recluse but I'm excited to catch up on all the writing I've missed ♡ #Posting this and going promptly to sleep ♡ (Insomnia is a huge part of UTR's conception LOL)

Good morning and Merry Christmas @naivesilver 🎄 I hope you have a good day and that you enjoy these dumb little clips <3

#this is a bit all over the place as you'll see #and I have absolutely not had the mental space or physical time for writing or making anything more taxing than this #BUT.........silly vine comp is still very doable :] #anyway I love making these #happy christmas 💕💕💕 thank you for another year of these little scrimblos #court of misfits #thousand problems #naivesilver #fake/real

Thoughts on Ron  👓

That Affect He Has (and part of how he copes with it)

The effect flat affect has on Ron's ability to express his emotions facially and vocally is quite profound. No matter where or when he's found in writing it'll be there, though time's passing - and access to better support and understanding of his condition in modern settings - lets him learn to cope with and combat (with varying degrees of success) the most visible and audible signs of the struggles he has emoting. He'd loathe sitting for speech therapy -- it's too vulnerable a thing, even in modern times, for him to stomach. But the one session he'd attend before jacking it in would yield an interesting suggestion that would stick.

"You like music, right Ron?"

"--Yeah."

"So sing along."

And he would. Invariably it'd be when he was alone - so that vulnerable bit weren't exposed, right? - but he'd work himself up from mouthing along to getting some voice along with it and while there'd be no revelation of intense vocal talent there...it'd help. For all he struggles with keeping track of his own tone and pitch, he can hear it in others when they're singing. And he can mimic. And he can learn through mimicry what the right notes sound and feel like as he picks up spits and spats of melody and purrs along low in his chest.

#👓Headcanon #tw: mental illness #cw: mental illness #//no matter what he's learned and practiced; emoting will always tax Ron #//it's almost never not a conscious thing #//but it's also something - through time and need and effort - Ron learns to minimise to the best extent he can for the comfort of others #//which is why your darling muse may get - on a very good day - a beaming smile and effusive greetings #//he means every word and gesture; it's just...think of how it feels to smile through a dentist's anaesthetic #//how much effort that takes #//minus the numbness; that's something like the effort Ron expends with the face/voice doing #//and that's fine; he wants to do it if he's doing it #//if he didn't want to he wouldn't for dust #//it's just that bit'a extra mental work

TEETH

#b and a #sorry for lack of sims posting #nano is all-consuming #it's been nice writing every day tbh #& as much as i love kel & co #they're pretty much all i've written for the last ~8 years #so it's nice to take a break from the teenage angst & growing pains #not that writing about grief & loss is really any less mentally taxing #it's actually probably *more* mentally taxing if i'm being honest #but it's allowing me to write in a style i normally don't write in so it's kind of fun #also i just really enjoy this cast of characters. specifically: artie sky & harley #they feel very complex & real. multifaceted. is that the word? maybe. idk

[arcandoria]

being very brave and working through my queue 🐌

#rambling #seriously tho #mwah to all my commissioners #y'all have patience of saints and I'm forever grateful #it's just been extra difficult to work through the burnout of last year #plus all the mentally/physically taxing stuff that goes on irl #I sincerely appreciate you all and your trust in me very much <3

Did the tasks I've been avoiding all week! Didn't do them well or carefully, but. They are done!!

#i used to be a very smart and capable person #and to some degree i still am #but this fucking chronic illness means that i am truly not as sharp as i used to be #i think i did my taxes right? but it was literally like the words were fuzzing together #mental static on the page!! #also I'm so annoyed bc once again it costs more to efile state taxes than what it should #which is $0 btw #anyway there's $10 from my already very limited food and bills money #for NOTHING #in a perfect world i would get myself a little treat for accomplishing this stuff #:((((((

Lil reminder that self diagnosing can be a good way to help doctors focus on the symptoms that make your life difficult!

Reminder that a good percent of mental illnesses have symptoms that overlap! Did you know PTSD and ADHD have almost identical symptoms when it comes to being over or under stimulated??? Me neither! I thought I had ADHD for years but it turns out I just have complex trauma!!

Anxiety and autism also are two that have a lot of overlapping symptoms!

MPD or now known as DID is actually EXTREMELY rare and HAS to be developed either genetically or through a VERY INTENSE trauma at a young age. This often gets mistaken with Bipolar, please do research bc the treatment for these are VERY different and the meds do WILDLY different things.

This has been a PSA from a 25 yr old who grew up around psychologists and lots of therapy and has read too many books.

#i have a system! #mental health #ptsd #anxiety #autism #adhd #self diagnosis #psychology #DID isn't bad #but the treatment is intense #and ive seen a rise in kids being like without proper diagnosis and it's like... #no you dont sweetie you have something else #systems are complex and ppl lose time and memories and cannot control switches and its very taxing on the person #please please do intense research so you get the correct treatment #bc meds for DID and Schizophrenia and meds for Depression and Bipolar are VERY DIFFERENT #and being prescribed thr wrong meds can really fuck you up #your health is important #take care of yourselves #psa #tw mental illness #opinion piece
