9 days of not writing a single line makes me think... The last big gap was when he wrote "I know now the span of my life."

Now it's after writing that he no longer has paper, money, identity or clothes. He stops writing about anything when faced with hopelessness.

It's like when he had a panic attack with the locked doors and said he was too crushed to speak of the beauty of nature outside like he wants to. The bigger the despair, the fewer the words.

It's surprising every time, even when you read it a second time, how the horror in Dracula doesn't come from the monsters, or the vampires, or the supernatural; the horror in Dracula comes from the mundane.

Subtle threats on the person, violation of boundaries, abusive behavior, restraining of freedom, loss of privacy, every single thing that happens to Jonathan could still have happened if the Count was a regular human.

And Jonathan feels so much, sometimes his emotions seem to be too intense for his mind. Jonathan wrote before even if he knew it was pointless because he had to document what happened, for the sanity of his own mind, and for whoever could be the next victim after him.

Then Jonathan knows the span of his own life, and not a single letter is put on paper.

After that Jonathan's entries change, they are methodical, straight to the point, still as detailed as before, but the details are now different. Gone are the descriptions of landscapes, food, and Dracula's rambles, and now every single line is dedicated to document every single thing that happened.

Now Jonathan has nothing, only his travel journal, with all of the remaining unused pages staring at him back.

And the now familiar hopelessness comes back stronger.

That horrible feeling of despair ate Jonathan's hope, how can he trust himself to write, to waste pages on his feelings when there are still many things to document.

#Is it possible to feel so much despair to a point when your body shuts down and you are ''calm''? #Because that sounds terrifying #dracula daily #dracula #jonathan harker

it's a crime that I can't bite my own thighs

#selfie #puppy girl #thighs #i feel my body tearing itself apart from the inside #this incurable yearning for something just on the tip of my understanding #unidentifiable need that boils my blood into a cold sweat #i think the only way to keep myself calm is to put your throat between my teeth

#jake gyllenhaal #road house #I always wonder how this feels #Last year our hot water broke and I spent 20 minutes washing my hair and freezing cold water #there is a moment when your brain adjust to it and you almost feel a sense of calm #my body felt so good after the showers strangely enough

Thinking ab Liu Kang… thinking about a god who thinks he has lived this new life well, has learned the rises and falls of divine existence and knows what to expect, only to remember he is just a boy given too much power when he reaches a present he cannot control. Faces he used to laugh with, people he has seen grown old, different and changed, but so much the same. Events he thought he had avoided repeating themselves, his timeline slipping from underneath him for the first time possibly in millennia. What is a god meant to do when he cannot escape his own mortality, cannot escape the ghosts yet to come, the blood he must prepare to have spilled at his feet? What is a god meant to do when he cannot fathom his own power? When he is still just a boy so scared to be champion, but must now hold the weight of the universe on his shoulders?

#liu kang #mortal kombat #mortal kombat 1 #mk1 #characters that make me want to shoot myself into space #god…. I cannot fucking imagine what it must be like. to see people that are your friends but also souls you made #a world you shaped but not down to every detail #who you thought you’d grown to expect the shifting nature of only for it to be altered so fully #does he look at Kung Lao and wonder how long he will stay laughing at Raiden’s side #does he look at Raiden and wonder how long he will stay calm before the shadows come for him #does he think of children yet to be conceived #bodies yet to be broken #and mourn them before their time? #does he remember the split memories of the netherrealm and his death at Raiden’s hand? #does he remember all the good from his young self? #the friends banding together across timelines and the friends he saw fall at his side? #can he go through that again? again and again and again? #what do gods fear? #the fruit is talking again

it's actually so fascinating to me that Brennan has created a character that maintains a pretty relaxed and mild-mannered demeanor and has said multiple times that the absolute Core of her is "FEAR" and how often we see this Fear manifest specifically in Avoidance; it really nails a relationship to that mentality where your brain fully Stops recognizing the emotion properly out of like, sheer self-defense from the stress of having to carry it all the time

I think this is also perfectly showcased in the way we tend to see Tula swing so suddenly from 'level and steady' to 'snarling Panic' and then back again - Just because your brain has detached itself from the Conscious Recognition of the emotion doesn't mean it can Actually stop itself from experiencing it. So the Fear is always there and always acting as a stressor, but because of that inability to Identify it there's no way to recognize or address it before that final straw hits and your bodymind jumps Straight into Full Meltdown Mode; but then once again, once you drop even a Little bit below that Peak Terror your brain ceases to process the emotion; it's like the most exhausting form of Poor Object Permanence in the world

And even if Tula is aware of this happening to her, that doesn't really make it any easier to deal with / address. Even if you're able to spot the symptoms Around the emotion -- chest pain, irritation, nausea, whatever -- because the Emotion Itself is basically impossible to find, you can't really Successfully Pin Down what the problem is OR a way to cope with it. If you can't figure out That You Are Anxious, then figuring out What Is Making You Anxious is impossible, which makes Find A Way To Make Peace With That incomprehensible. That's where the Avoidance comes in: you can no longer identify what might be a Dangerous Situation, which means that Anything New has a big potential to be Really Bad in a variety of ways (ranging "I don't Feel Good" to "Fully Lashing Out bc you've entered Fight/Flight and can't get out of it" to "Actual Outside Danger This Time") and that means the Only Way you know how to be Safe is to just Avoid Doing Anything New and Only stick to Familiar Situations, because anything unfamiliar is a monster of a gamble you don't know how to prepare for or cope with

#N posts stuff #one could argue ‘we see tula worry a lot tho’ but that’s bc Worry is an Action that can occur Separately from Recognizing Anxiety #now that I know tumblr will put a hard cap on your tags w/o telling you i'm resigning myself to posting rambling meta in post body #but i'm not happy about it; anyway i love how often life is full of Coincidences bc this is something I've Finally identified in myself #like. This Month. like this is brand new articulation for some of the problems i have in life; again knowing this doesn't help lmao #bc even when you know to look Around the shape of the emotion - like 'oh my face is Snarling rn. i'm probably experiencing Something' #like i said bc you don't know What that something is OR What might have caused it then the only solution you Ever get to come up with #is just 'fully retreat and go calm down somewhere else' which INVARIABLY means that you will wind up in that same situation again #and Still have no idea how to handle it bc you never could figure out what caused it so you don't know how to handle it any better than #'fully retreat and go calm down somewhere else'; so 'be somewhere else' is the ONLY way you can ever think to Help it #which usually invariably turns into 'Just Avoid Fucking Everything just in case'; which doesn't work! bc life doesn't let you do that #so then it's just a cycle of falling into the same pitfalls and feeling miserable all the time; gotta love it :) #if you're like me this also gives you Bad Bad Bad Memory bc your brain will Promptly hide evidence of Scary Situation instinctively #like 3 weeks ago this dude ran a red light and almost t-boned me Full Speed & managed to stop like. maybe 3 feet away. #and i like. Startled Laughed and said 'that was scary' and then within 30 seconds i had Fully Forgotten it happened & only remembered #like 2 days ago. Ha! believe it or not this Does Not Help with 'How can I Address the Problem instead of Avoiding It Entirely?' #dimension 20 #d20: stupendous stoats #tula #d20lb

(Going insane boinkinh one AU in my head)

Hey hey hey

May I interest you in

(Slowly slides my FaaF AU towards you but void just Disappears without a trace one day before the accolade)

Teehee

#thylacines can talk #faaf au #i love this au very yummy. a very fun twist on how Flower's dynamic with their parents would progress afterwards #the vessels live but the void exits their bodies in quite a violent manner (extreme pain and literally throwing up an entire person worth of #void). Flower was on guard duty and theyre found barely conscious in a pool of rapidly evaporating void. passes out seconds later #PK also had the displeasure of experiencing extene pain and burning as void forced its way out through his skin <3 And his moulds all melted #and evaporated. after the initial shock wears off theyre hit with “Oh No #the vessel“ and rush to find them. Well somebody else was already looking for the royal pair about this #Flower wakes up dazed and in pain in their father's workshop. their stomach hurts their throat burns and they feel lightheaded. the entire #place is considerably brighter than they remember and in they can hear two faint voices in the background but theyre too preoccupied with #examining their now pure white hand in shock to focus on anything else. until they hear their mother say “My wyrm they're awake” and #suddenly their parents are by their side. Now the two have no idea what void leaving their body might have done to them. Are they still #hollow? are they still dead? do they understand anything are they sentient? or was what was done pernament even without the void? do they #have the mind of a child if their sentience was restored? or do they remember anything? So WL stays by their side and helps them sit up #while their father goes to grab his tools. She's trying to keep them calm and comfort them but theyre still too disoriented to pay her much #attention. Until their father checks their breathing and they yelp audibly from the cool metal contacting their skin and suddenly they seem #much more alert. theyve never experienced true coldness before. PK quickly apologises and tries to be gentler with them. Theyre breathing #properly and they have a heartbeat. And he just pauses for a long while just. listening to their heart beating. Many emotions to be had #after the exam's over he asks them point blank how theyre feeling. And Flower looks up at him still seeming a little disoriented. and then #they lower their hand to their stomach and mutter 'My tummy hurts...a-and my throat burns'. It's to be expected after the way the void #left their body. so he goes to grab them some water and meds and they also ask for food and a mirror. And after he returns they just stare #at themself in the mirror and pull on their bangs for a while then blurt out 'I have your eyes' when PK asks if everything's okay. And he #and he almost chokes up as he replies 'Yeah...Yeah you do'. Flower eventually spins a lie that they remember everything but its all distant #and blurry. Like they were not aware until now. They figured it'd be better to not break their hearts #And now the three have to figure out how to be a family while PK is also scrambling to find a new solution to the infection #oops i meant to only give a brief rundown in the tags which is why it was in the tags. but i got too invested KDHDKFB

the ego on cm punk is fucking crazy. let alone the way he's comfortable poisoning the well of pro wrestling for other people. the epitome of pulling the ladder up behind you. what a pathetic joke of a person, jesus, every word out of his mouth is the sort of humblebragging lie unique to men who think they're god's gift to the planet. and the way he delights in talking about taking the ugly way out of ANY confrontation. smiling while saying "i choked someone a little bit". I wish him the worst. I hope drew mcintyre takes his other arm

#the way he talks about the aew wrestlers is disgusting #the tantrums he throws in front of cameras and on podcasts and pretending to be this super calm person who was pushed to the edge #like no wonder they never warmed to you you absolute joke of an athlete. #go back to shitting your pants on camera #honestly the more i learn about the wrestling business the angrier i get #the way you have 1% of these people who trample over everyone #while the rest are destroying their bodies and putting on incredible shows and not getting shit for it #aew #we can't just be happy we have 2 cakes yknow some douchebag has to go on a podcast and ruin it for everyone #going on wrestlemania week to shit all over aew while wearing this mantle of the poor wise elder who was cast out for being too clever #while singing the praises of wwe as being 'well-structured' when HE WAS THE ONE to ALSO quit THAT in 2014 #i wish i could block his face in real life
