#and don’t say working out

[queenqunari]

Has anyone figured out what to do with the undying rage that lives just beneath the surface? Like the fury that you constantly need to be pushing down because you know unleashing it onto others is cruel? But if you never let it out the build up causes you to explode on some unsuspecting bystander?

#after years of therapy I’ve learned I’m a very angry person #I used to just be sad all the time but now I’m just #so angry #I feel wronged so easily and I hate being mean so I try to never let people see how angry I am #but eventually I just blow up at someone for a relatively minor offense #like what’s a healthy way to get it out of your system? #and don’t say working out #running just makes me angrier because it fucking. blows #is it art? should I be making angry and viable art? #journaling? #people always talk about how to deal with the sad part of mental illnesses but like #what about the true bitches and bastards of the world #what do we have to do to cope?

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)

Percy, listening to this on the train

#STOP TRAUMATIZING THIS CHILD PLEASE #this is what it’s like when you were raised in a loving home and you find out your friend wasn’t #but they don’t know they weren’t #so you’re like um hey that’s fucked up and sometimes a crime? #you tell them parents are supposed to love you as is without earning it and they don’t believe you #you can hear the therapy bill racking up #annabeth chase #Percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo series #pjo tv show #mine #adding on to my tags because some people are debating if that’s how love works #love is meant to be a mutual exchange and something that grows over time between two people as their bond grows #whereas how Annabeth says it #in my opinion at least #she had to do XY and Z to be worthy of thalias love before receiving it #like with her mother #she has to be amazing before Athena is proud of her #vs Athena being proud of her just for being her daughter #that being said I’m not hating on a traumatized child having potentially negative and toxic patterns #more pointing out the comedy of the scene from Percy’s perspective who has a good grasp on healthy vs unhealthy relationships

The one big thing out of seeing all the hermits irl for me is that people need to do more fanart with Pearl being really fucking tall

#hermitcraft #hermitblr #pearlescentmoon #geminitay #falsesymmetry #And False Too #I don’t know exactly how tall she is but it seems more then average! #meanwhile I think Gem might just be the average? #I see some people saying she’s short and I don’t think she is #she seems like she’s 5.4 to me #when I did a height comparison chart and then looked at the #photos/videos #which #height average for afab is 5.3 #though I think the world average works out to about 5.7 #but don’t quote me on that #mcyt

I think about Leo’s “I’m your least favorite” comment to Splinter in “Down with the Sickness” a lot. It’s likely just a throwaway comment, a way to get Splinter to leave him alone before Leo gets sick too, but I can’t help but wonder if Leo believes it on some level.

Obviously it’s not true, Splinter loves him as much as he loves the others, but…it wouldn’t be shocking if Leo believed otherwise. After all, just in “Many Unhappy Returns” alone, Splinter has, with no hesitation, said comments like “my other sons would have taken this seriously” and “I knew I should’ve brought purple”, said “no” to Leo’s “I love you”, and pretty blatantly didn’t extend any trust in Leo’s plan even after Leo was fairly effortlessly defeating their opponents.

It was only after, when they’d already won, that Splinter finally gives him a “it was all you my son!” And…that’s basically it. Raph is the one who announces his trust in Leo. Not their father, even though Splinter is the one to witness Leo lowering his walls for once (which Splinter doesn’t react well too, because Leo only lowers his walls in the most hectic of times, and because he lowers them only then, either no one is around or no one is in the right state of mind to respond properly, leading to Leo building his walls back up, and the cycle continues.)

Again, it’s not because Splinter doesn’t love Leo, but Leo…can’t be feeling too good about all that. The way he never reacted surprised about any of Splinter’s words too…

He may know that Splinter loves them all, as a group, but individually…I don’t think Leo believes he ranks all that high with that love. Gives another meaning to “I’m nothing without my brothers” huh?

(Of course, I’m willing to bet the invasion changed that understanding, but with that comes the potential misunderstanding that his father’s outright love is tied to Leo sacrificing himself.)

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise leo #rottmnt headcanons #again OBVIOUSLY SPLINTER LOVES HIM DEARLY #but I wouldn’t blame Leo for thinking he’s loved the LEAST #Splinter also blatantly thinking Donnie is funnier doesn’t help #Leo being a Leo and thus being a Daddy’s Boy at his core doesn’t help #man splinter if you tell Leo he was the first one you held he’d be riding that high for MONTHS #but yeah I just think that with all of Leo’s insecurities…this all isn’t all that unlikely a conclusion to make #and I’ve said it before but…Leo and Splinter don’t really have a softer moment between them unlike the others #that must sting #this isn’t to say that Splinter was WRONG in being upset with Leo in Many Unhappy Returns #because Splinter had no way of knowing Leo’s plan would work out #but again - Leo has to be so confident and cocky because goddangit SOMEONE has to believe in him #so he lets it be himself #hell even the hug that comes after they incapacitate the shredder was more of a ‘Leo was there but it’s to all of them’ #I want them to have a good father son talk so bad #is it any wonder why Leo imprints so quick on Hueso #when the man sees him break and decides to help? #can you imagine how much that means to someone like Leo #that someone with all the reason in the world to leave Leo to deal with things alone #chooses not only to help him but to actively protect him after as well #I bet with Splinter there’s always a voice in the back of his head #that says his dad’s love of him is more obligation than anything #and if they didn’t have that DNA connection it wouldn’t be there #so Hueso having no connection but still sticking by Leo’s side in Leo’s moment of weakness…it probably means a lot #it’s a shame we didn’t truly get that with Splinter and Leo #now I want Hueso and Splinter to meet bc like…they’re both dads! and it’d be interesting

My poor little meow meow who is just doing her best and is so so bad at her job and just likes to play with cats and doesn’t have the power to defend herself from assassination attempts and cries herself to sleep 😔 she is the best archon to ME. I would never let this happen to her

#liya chats #genshin impact #furina #genshin spoilers #I. hm. #I find it interesting that arle doesn’t believe furina is the real archon and says she’s been cursed #which makes me wonder if her real power has been sealed away #and I don’t doubt that Furina is trying to save her people #but that her efforts aren’t enough #it seems like she’s doing her best but doesn’t have an actual plan in mind? #like it’ll work out as long as she tries #she has the energy but no direction so she’s just spinning in circles

I was going to add a few more panels and clean this up a little more, buuuut time is kind of getting away from me again, so I’m going to leave it like this for now.

(Small request, but could y’all not tag this as a ship, please? It sort of really squicks me out.)

#the bad batch #my art #hunter bad batch #crosshair bad batch #crosshair! go home! #I’m still trying to figure out how ro draw them #and honestly how to draw #what is a hug #how do hands work #rendering? I don’t know her. #the idea here was that Crosshair was in the middle of saying something snarky #and Hunter just said screw it I’ve missed my brother it’s hug time

I must look like such a man child the way my desk is set up at work. I even have this rubix cube thing I use as a fidget cube and my little key chain plushies are on the other side

#that is my photo of pickles #I bought a Fuji max insta camera to take photos of my own pets to put up here too #when I got bored I started making a sticker collage on my reference papers #blocked out my work number and anything that says where so you fucks don’t bother me at work

[bright-and-burning]

my hot take: i think they should institute a minimum paint usage so they stop de-cuntifying the cars to reduce weight

#this is moderately a shitpost #but like . if everyone’s working to minimize the car’s weight in every way possible #which it seems like they are #then eventually that’s gonna trend towards every car being all black exposed carbon. bc aesthetic details #are gonna go before performance enhancing related weight #‘but eve! then they can’t maximize performance! it’s supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsports!’ #to which i say: don’t care. give me pretty colors #CAVEAT: I STARTED WATCHING IN OCTOBER I DONT KNOW SHIT I AM TALKIJG OUT OF MY ASS!!!

Firefly Wedding is so…

It’s so

It’s them. It’s "It’s just a firefly, they’re meant to die soon. Why should I care about the sick, or the poor?"

It’s "I was purposely trying to scare you and push you away to see how far you were willing to go with your act, how desperate you were to play with my feelings as if I was a fool, but it didn’t work."

It’s "I know you’re just using me but now I care. Please keep using me. I need you to need me."

It’s choosing to give her her freedom anyways. Because your love is no longer all about you, no longer selfish. Because this love isn’t just a shallow balm to soothe your complexes anymore.

It’s being betrayed, finally facing the lies and no longer pretending you both don’t know that this is a farce, but desperately wanting to keep it going anyways. It’s "I should hate you now. Why don’t I? Hey, tell me we’ll go through with the plan, tell me you’ll marry me after all. Otherwise, why am I still here? Why don’t I want to leave? You act like you don’t need me but I still need you."

Like that’s so revolutionary for a yandere story. The self-delusion is strong, denial that things have changed despite it being impossible to truly believe, BUT HE STAYS. It’s no longer selfish 😭😭

"I don’t care about you anymore, I won’t help you. Get yourself killed for all I care." <- Jumps to her rescue 3 milliseconds later when she almost falls down a ladder/roof. It happens twice. The ‘lying and trying to emotionally distance yourself from something to protect yourself and not get hurt’ defense mechanism is blatant and it’s failing really bad.

It’s "My sense of duty and goals to have accomplished something useful in my short life are making me do this, but I do want you to stay with me." The yandere stuff here gets turned on its head because what he says is empty where it matters and meaningful where it matters. It’s knowing that if Satoko asks him not to kill anyone he won’t, but knowing that he won’t give up on her no matter what, even if she’s unattainable, even if she’s sickly, even if she pushes him away like just before. It’s so thinly veiled for "I’m determined to see my goal through, but that’s not what I want. If you just so happen to take me away and I don’t try to run away hard enough then we can elope and be free. I want to have an excuse to leave with you. Please give up on marrying me. Please don’t. I want that, but I can’t."

It’s "If I didn’t burn brightly in my short firefly life, then what was the point?"

Except that burning brightly doesn’t have to mean making big achievements, or being useful to your family.

It can be living happily, living for the ones you love, fighting for them. It can be worth to risk it for things that actually matter to you.

It’s giving your heart to someone, figuratively and literally. To lend it to them even if it might get used or battered, for as long as it beats to use your body to protect them, even if you have to sacrifice yourself. A love that burns bright into a bonfire before they both turn to ashes. Unwise but wholehearted.

It’s despite even that, needing grandiose gestures to be able to trust that this is real. It’s needing external cues that prove it to feel safe in their love existing, other people to confirm that he’s not crazy, that this is happening and this is how they both feel. Their love has been fake, both being a warped love and being a lie, only being out of necessity or because the other was the only one willing to offer it to them, offering comfort, safety, support and care. And showing that they care is the most loving of all It’s despite everything falling back into old habits that "Oh if she was miserably worried for me then that means she’s not indifferent to me! That’s good!" And then once again being taken aback by her, by her earnestness and by her will. Because oh, no, this goes deeper than that. She cares. It’s love.

It’s opening your heart up to love, and both being punished and rewarded for it.

But most of all it’s

And it being the most loving thing he’d ever heard

Firefly Wedding is so…

And yet it’s also

The complicated and hurtful nature of love and the joy and light it brings are two sides of the same coin, because that’s what inevitably happens when you care about something. But caring about a firefly isn’t a waste even however short lived it is, or how hard the loss will inevitably hit you. Isn’t their light just such a wonder to witness?

#hotaru no yomeiri #firefly wedding #firefly marriage #firefly wedding fandom how we feeling #Spoilers #he’s like Denji except.

I just love how ride or die Annabeth is for Percy by sea of monsters. She sees him at the beach, he says they’re running away to go on quest and she’s just like yeah alright. No questions, no regards for the consequences, she just trusts him.

#percy jackson #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #annabeth chase #percabeth #percy x annabeth #sea of monsters #this is why I don’t fuck with people saying she thinks he’s stupid #she trusts his intelligence #they work problems out together #she knows him so well

actually the most important skills you can teach your kids are household skills. boy or girl. household skills.

#- HK #i think so many people live in squalor who don’t have to bc they went out in the world without household skills #tried so many times and failed so many times they just gave up #and decided if they couldn’t keep their nicest possessions and resources intact then the rest had no value at all #mobile #x #like I’m all for a woman’s role being in the home but I do cringe when a man says he doesn’t know how to work the washing machine #what would you do if your wife died. how will your kids live

Dustin’s live-streaming on his channel when Eddie joins the chat just to post, “Come hang out with me. I’m bored.”

Dustin’s fans lose their shit when his only response to an actually famous musician wanting to hang out with him is to roll his eyes. Dustin continues on with his experiment but tells Eddie to, “Go bother Steve. That’s what you were doing last week when you blew me off.”

Eddie types out ‘I was blowing him off too’ but deletes it and responds with a frowny face.

You can hear Dustin’s phone vibrate. He checks it and then hold it up for his audience to see. Eddie literally sent him a picture of Steve. They are sitting on the same couch, five feet away from each other.

Dustin’s like, “You’re literally in the same room. Entertain each other… Wait, gross.”

Eddie sends him another picture of Keeping Up With The Kardashians playing on the tv. Eddie has personal vendetta against that family. Steve only watches their show when he’s pissed off at Eddie. Dustin sees the pictures and is like, “What did you do?!”

Eddie, in the chat: I didn’t do anything!

Dustin: Hold on, I’m texting Robin. She’ll know.

Eddie, in the chat: I did a small thing.

Eddie: I really small thing

Dustin, after ten minutes because Robin send him a novel and all of it was in voice notes: Eddie, what the ever-loving fuck?

#Dustin: all you had to say was I hope it works out and keeps your opinions to yourself #Eddie: I was just being honest! #Dustin: Well don’t be! Jesus man. #eddie munson tiktok saga #steve harrington #eddie munson
