Little Baby Man’s Day Out

Continued from this post.

At the dog park

Damien and Titus are calmly walking through Gotham Dog Park. Normally, the walk is calming and centering, but today there’s a strange feeling in the air. Not a feeling of danger, but a feeling that something is not quite right.

Titus pulls Damian towards a tree. As they get closer, he notices a small wooden house on the ground beneath the tree. It looks like a model that someone put a lot of love and care into making. It’s blue with a brown multi-gabled roof. There are even little curtains hanging in the windows and realistic-looking miniature furniture.

Unfortunately, the house is now broken into several pieces, and the tiny sofa that once belonged inside the house has been chewed to shreds.

When Titus reaches base of the tree, he sits down and stares upwards into the tree branches. Now that they’ve gotten closer, Damian notices that he can hear a strange sound coming from the treetop.

Looking up toward the tree, Damian catches sight of a small black and white object. As Damian stares upward, trying to figure out what it is, the object begins to move. As it unfolds itself, Damian notices that, whatever it is: 1) It’s small. Maybe 3 inches tall. 2) It has an odd coloring. White, green, and black. And 3) it's sobbing. Big tears are streaming from its glowing green eyes.

This creature clearly needs help and Damian is the only one around who can do it!

Slowly, Damian climbs up the tree while talking to the creature in a calm voice. As he gets closer to the animal, he can make out more of its features. It has large ears, a tail, and... hands?

It’s a small humanoid! It has snow-white hair and minty green skin, and it’s wearing some kind of black jumpsuit.

“Hello. Who are you?”

The creature looks at him with big, watery eyes. “Chirrup.”

“Can you talk?” “Chirp-chip-chip-eek!”

“Are you alone?” “Cheeeeep!”

In a flurry of motion, the creature flies toward him and huddles down into his hair.

“I guess you’re coming with me.”

Damian quickly jumps down from the tree. As he stoops to pick up Titus’s leash, the creature begins to chirp again. It leaves his hair and floats down to the wreckage of the toy house. Looking sad, it tries to right the toy bed but quickly gives up. Disappearing into the remains of the house, it pulls out a small teal blanket and wraps the material around itself.

Damian reaches down to the small being. It climbs onto his hand, and together, the three quickly continue on their walk. It’s already 4:30, and they need to get home before dusk.

Jazz’s Room

Thank the Ancients for making the Manson family rich! Sam managed to get the Booo-merang delivered in under two hours.

How did she manage that? It should have taken at least five hours. And the delivery guy showed up on a scooter!

Jazz can’t waste any more time thinking about that. The sun’s starting to set!

Oh, no! She can’t wander around by herself at night in Gotham! She’ll be killed! But Danny’s out there, all alone. Thankfully, she brought the Fenton Creepstick with her when she moved in.

It’s time to find her little brother!

someone at work commented about the fact that I’m single and I didn’t really think it was that big of an issue… I just don’t understand love…

and it pisses me off bc it feels unnatural for me to not understand it. Everyone in my family is dating someone and here I am just a single idiot, it makes me feel even more left out and alone. i don’t know if it’s because I didn’t have a good representation growing up or it’s just my brain chemicals or whatever but I just don’t get it and can’t wrap my head around it. If your in a (HEALTHY) relationship then good for you im not gonna rain on your parade but for me it’s just… confusing

Plus I don’t even know the difference between platonic and romantic (for myself) for that’s fine

[anywaythewindblows19]

I can’t believe I didn’t think of this before and now I’m freaking out. Steve coughing in the Upside Down when no one else does, the close up shot on his bat bites, Robin freaking out about rabies. I’m so worried now. I feel like crying.

Important rules/tips I've learned as an adult that helped with anxiety

If people are mad at you, it's their responsibility to tell you, not your responsibility to guess

If they're mad at you in secret anyways, they're the ones in the wrong, not you

If people don't like what you're doing, it's their responsibility to tell you

If they say it's fine when it's really not, they're the ones in the wrong, not you

People are allowed to be wrong about you

If they are wrong about you, wait for them to bring it up, because if you try to, you will inevitably overcorrect

Some people are committed to misunderstanding you. You will not win arguments against them. Yes, even if you explain your point of view. They do not care. Drop it

The worst thing that will happen from a first-time offense is being told not to do it again. Maybe with a replacement if you broke something

You can improve relationships and gauge willingness to talk to you by giving compliments. It's like a daily log-in bonus and nobody thinks twice about it

Most things are better after you sleep on them

Most things are better after you have a meal

Most things are better after you shower

Your brain makes up consequences that are irrational. If the worst DOES come to pass and someone acts like they do in your head, they are overreacting, and you are entitled to say "what the fuck"

If your chest hurts after you feel like you've made a social error, that's called rejection-sensitive dysphoria. It means your anxiety is so bad that it's causing you physical pain, which is a good indicator that you're overreacting. Tense yourself, hold it for 20 seconds, let it go, then find a distraction

If you're suddenly angry at someone after you feel like you made a social error, that's also rejection-sensitive dysphoria. You are going to feel annoyed about it for awhile, but being genuinely pissed off is your anxiety trying to find something to blame to take the responsibility off your shoulders, and getting scared because it can't justify itself. Deep breaths, ask yourself how much you ACTUALLY want to be angry at that person, then find a distraction

"Sour grapes" is more healthy for you than stewing. Deciding you don't like someone who's perpetually annoyed with you, won't talk to you, etc. makes letting go of anxiety over them easier

If people don't like you, they will find reasons to be annoyed with you when they otherwise wouldn't. If people do like you, they will find reasons NOT to be annoyed with you when they otherwise would. People do not ping-pong between the two

You DO have to make a conscious choice not to think about something. If you're having trouble circling back to it, say out loud that you're done thinking about it and why. Then find a distraction

When you're upset, part of you is going to want to make false bids for attention (suddenly texting differently, heavy sighs, etc. but when someone asks you about it, you tell them it's nothing). Do not listen to it. You gain nothing from it except more misery

People like to help people they care about. It makes them feel good about themselves

If you think you're insufferable for needing help, see above. Yes, really. They get a serotonin kick from it

If you think you're insufferable for mannerisms you have, you either have to consciously choose not to do them, or accept that they're part of the package that comes with you. Being apologetic about existing does nothing except make you more miserable

If you do things you don't like when you feel meh about it, it makes it easier to do them when you hate it

If you avoid things you don't like when you feel meh about it, it reinforces and magnifies how bad it feels when you hate it

Seriously. Read those last two points again. If you can make yourself make a phone call when you've got nothing to lose, you will slowly lose that panic you get when you have to make a phone call you haven't prepared for. You do have to CONSCIOUSLY take that step

Hobbies that make you care for something get rid of that nagging feeling that you're not doing enough. Go grow some rosemary

If you don't engage with your hobbies regularly, you will feel miserable, and anxiety will spike

Hobbies are things that give you a bit of happiness. They do not have to be organized or named to do that. Go be creative in something. Play with coins. Make up lists. Start a new WIP

No one cares what you look like

If people point out things they don't like about how you look unprompted, they are being rude. You are entitled to say "what the fuck"

People who like you will find you pretty to some degree. Minor things about your appearance go completely unnoticed. Literally, scars and dots and blemishes do not register to someone who likes your company

You looking at yourself in the mirror is 10x more closely than anyone is going to look at you

If you're anxious about your body type, and you're creatively inclined, make/write an oc with that same shape. Give them nice things and make other characters love them. Put them on adventures. You'll start to see yourself in the mirror more kindly

You care about wording and perfect lines/colors way more than anyone who views your work ever will

Sometimes when you're upset, you're going to feel like not eating. Do not do that. Not eating makes you more miserable

Same with things you normally enjoy. Denying yourself helps no one. You are punishing yourself for being sad. Stop it

Both of these will take conscious decision to break the habit of. Make yourself do it anyways, and it will slowly get easier

And again, to reiterate: If someone is mad at you, it is THEIR responsibility to tell you, not your responsibility to guess

Using a fear of Palestinian revenge as justification for the occupation is both wild and familiar

Aint nobody thinking about vengeance after getting freedom 😭 all we wanna do on this planet is drink chilled juice and not die

#as the CEO of anxiety and paranoia I really think everyone can benefit from some CBT #you think im thinking of ending the bloodline of my ancestors' slavemasters ? wrong ! two gundams having sex

Reblog if it’s ok for your mutuals to tag you in posts they think you’ll like even if you don’t talk often.

#I always have the urge to tag people and then my social anxiety is like #no #you’re bothering them #mutuals #my post

[celestie0]

no pressure but I was wondering if you’re open to writing any dark romance stories? :) I love your work and would love to see something like that from you

hiii dear ty for the love <3 and hmm im not opposed to it but tbh i cant really see myself writing dark romance :”) just bc im not really an edgy person at all LOL so i don’t think i’d do well w the concept. i have sm respect for authors that do write them tho

#im relatively vanilla #and i have anxiety #i wld die if i wrote a dark romance LOL #i guess it depends on how dark but my definition of dark is probably most ppl’s definition of extremely well lit #i do have some dark romance kinks but more to read n not necessarily to write haha #loool #writing #anon #asks

[fandom-trash-goblin]

i beg you to love me, say that i'm enough, but you tell me— why are you like this? i think there's something wrong with you.

so right now a whole ass chunk of chile is burning down and it is really Fucking Bad. it hit and spreaded so fast im like. 90%!!!!! of the jardín botánico de viña del mar burned down in one night. four in ground workers died. i am absolutely heartbroken for them and the treasure in biodiversity gone. and thats just 4 out of +100? lives lost in this chaos, that is still ongoing.

because of this, i will be splitting my patreon income evenly between care for gaza and techo chile, for the foreseable future. donate if can you can! it would really make a difference

#i have lots of family members that live there but they are mostly ok thank god #but make no mistake. entire neighborhoods burned down #la quinta región looks like it was bombed. comparisons to 27f are being made #anyway!! i am about to withdrawn the monis i am a ball of anxiety etc
