#cool kids have depression

[baejax-the-great]

I love that Zagreus is too inexperienced with mortals to get that Achilles is depressed as shit. Like, yeah, no, it's probably normal for mortals to talk about how there is nothing left for Lord Hades to take from them, and to spend their off time drinking themselves into a stupor alone in the lounge, and to openly weep at their post

#hades game #zagreus #achilles #just got the dialogue where Achilles is talking about dulling all of his senses with liquor #totally normal thing to say sir especially when you follow it up with he'll have a drink for Zagreus too #was also wondering if sending Zagreus on his way made the depression worse #like he has this stupid job guarding a hallway but for a while he got to teach a cool kid to do stuff #and now that job has ended and the cool kid is trying to leave forever #so that's just fine really he's fine

truly nothing more depressing than seeing a blog glorifying self harm in the fight club tag in an unironic way and you click through to see its an anorexic 14 year old :/ i wish i could communicate like... it doesn't make you cool or better, it's not an actual way to control things in your life, i am so so sorry you think this is the sexy answer. but also jesus why do you blog about it

#like damn weve all been 14 yrs old and making health decisions that are actively damning your future health in very concerning ways #but also like #these blogs exist because of each other and if i could nuke every single one i could because that might help even one of these kids #to recover #jesus #makes me feel old #like. ive been there lol. youre depressed and 12 and self harm seems right and also cool #but thats insidious as hell snd listening to that is whats going to make you depressed for half a decade #i think the hardest part of growing up is seeing kids make the same or similar mistakes you did and knowing if you say anything they will #almost certainly double down and dig themselves deeper #but you feel its a crime not to say anything and also remember lack of pushback being part of the problem #but its just. you cant fix anyone #i wasnt anorexic ftr but its Very Relatable unfortunately #anyway whether i like it or not i have a lot of teenagers following me i think #all of you. be nice to yourselves #actively pursue making your life better #not in a momentary happiness sort of way but in a taking the work to get over your mental illness and grow and become a more confident and #secure person kind of way #it sounds impossible and it feels like hell but literally the biggest part is just really trying to do it and letting go of the comfort of #the pains you know vs the unknown pains of change #i should stop soapboxing because this is getting silly long lol

Actually, the thing that’s so annoying about people whining that the timeless child arc changed the arc the show has been on before it, as in, kid in barn, outcast, bit of an idiot failure, is that for the commentary of the arc to Work it insists that all of the above Stands as it always was. 

The metaphor of the arc is that the timeless child was an avatar of the victim of colonization. They were ‘saved’ by this society that was so much more Advanced than their own, but uhhh no actually they just stole, abused, used and highjacked the child’s abilities and claimed them as their own advancements to prop themselves up as Great. As Lords, in fact. 

The metaphor for forced assimilation is shown in them literally wiping the child’s memories of their past away from both them And the entire society as a whole. You are one of us. You were Always one of us. You don’t Need who you were before, because you’re here now and that’s so much better! There’s an argument that their legend persists and that they didn’t entirely manage to erase the child from the stories, but even if ‘the other,’ the founder of Gallifrey whom is shrouded in mystery, is referring to the timeless child, they are still denied their own history, their own name. The memory that they’re the founder in the first place. Like really, this kid never gets a name and this is on purpose. The people telling this story don’t Care who this child was, only that they can be of use to them now. 

Thirteen’s absolutely Devastated realisation that she will never know who she would have been had she not been unlucky enough to have Tecteun find her on that planet millennia ago is the most gruelling and painful scene of this era for me. Honestly, it probably takes the crown for most painful moment in the whole show for me. Because while on a personal level this story here between the two characters is a story talking about abuse and kidnapping, when you scale it upwards to what wider commentary they’re making they’re talking about colonization and imperialism and forced assimilation of whole societies that will Never get to know what life would have looked like if this had not been done to them. 

This story is pointing out that we’ll never know what the world could have looked like without the evils of colonization and imperialism. This is the interpersonal devastation of the doctor realising they will Never get to not have this happen to them scaled up to a societal wide discussion about very real realities for countless people around the world. 

The arc stands upon the devastation that the child will never get to know how life could have been because This is how it actually played out. A terrified child crying in a barn. A society that others and hates them for reasons they don’t understand. This story of an orphan in a barn was already a sad tale in the narrative, a life the doctor liberates themselves from because it is too terrible and nobody ever saves them so they have to do it themselves. Pointing out that ‘this is the way this is. this is what happened. it cannot be changed’ and then saying ‘you will never know how it could have been different’ is just digging the knife a little further in what was already there. 

This so easily could not have happened if not for one person, one awful person. But it Did happen. The presence of the familiar story is necessary to fully expose the tragedy of the timeless child.  

They were an orphan, alone in a barn. Nobody likes them. They weren’t good at school or popular. They were kind of a screw up. All that’s changed is the knowledge that this was not a foregone conclusion or unlucky circumstance. It was deliberate and cold apathy. 

#dw shit #this doesn't make sense but w/e #i've finally gotten over this enough to have a good old rant abt themes #this however is genuinely depressing #this kid was a victim of horrors #they are digging the knife in not making them cool or special #dw meta

a good reason to leave for me:

i honestly think it would be safer for me and therians to not be in the same space sometimes haha. P-shifting isn't safe for many and it can really hurt others.

Although I would love to stay, I know that it's probably safer for everyone to no longer teach it and keep to myself about things that involve how to shift and such.

P-shifting isn't a joke and can harm people who suffer from mental issues and other things of that sort. Its just not safe to teach in a large public space. It's something only some can stomach and be safe while doing. Plus some communities that are too unregulated exist and may mess with people's reality and how they perceive it. Some are too open to allow people to start p-shifting right off the bat and it's just too dangerous that way. (including those that say "oh just wait you will shift eventually but you cant control it at all" those are even worse.)

Theres a very good reason why newer communities are very apprehensive about teaching, or telling, or allowing new people who know nothing about it just hop in and start shifting. Usually if you are coming to the "learning" community (as in, you are following steps laid out by others to understand your identity) there is guidelines, there are warnings, etc. It's just too risky to not follow these guidelines and not listen to the warnings.

Dont start p-shifting right when you find out. Take the time to start a journal. Understand that what you are getting into isn't something that will make you cool or quirky. You risk your mental health if you are not careful. You have to be born to be a p-shifter. You must first mental shift before you can even think about p-shifting. P-shifting is not easy and will take years to even get to a point where you start getting somewhere physically.

The list goes on. When someone who is teaching shifting slacks in saying these things, you can harm someone. It takes a very long time to even get to the point where you may be ready to p-shift. Some never will p-shift. You have to accept these realities too. Not to mention how some older guides, although effective, can be so incredibly risky. (Such as completely shutting out the world and being an animal 24/7. Some people just take it too far and do it too early and ruin themselves.) Its just not worth it sometimes.

Thats why I'm leaving Tumblr. Too open, not safe for neither me nor others looking in. I know I usually don't have these sorts of posts, but I just saw someone in an anon saying how unstable their reality and they were after lurking in the community and it just.... its just so hard to see. Nobody deserves that sort of mental torture. Sometimes I forget that p-shifting actually can be dangerous to some if nobody teaches how important it is to regulate yourself, check in on yourself, and remember that p-shifting isn't for the faint of heart.

It's only for those who have spent so much time over years of their journey, exploring themselves, askong questions, taking breaks, questioning themselves so many times, and checking in, to finally be able to claim that they are able to p-shift. (There is so much more to it than that obviously.) My fourth year of shifting is coming up, and after so long I might be ready to leave the online community permanently and start my journey. (of physically shifting i mean. I spend more time teaching others rather than doing the practice itself right now lol. When i say p-shifting im trying to refer to the whole process, but really talking about the mental shifting and phantom shifting etc. Sorry if its been unclear, many know the whole community as "p-shifters" when in reality "p-shifters" are only those who havw actually preformed a p-shift. I havent yet in my conscious memory so i just call myself a shifter or nonhuman.)

Please be safe. Please, if you are curious about the p-shifting community, remember that it is a mixed bag and not for everyone. As always any community can be a mixed bag, but p-shifting "learning" communities can spiral and be too lax on the warnings and importance of these warnings.

Thats all. (make sure to read all tags fully too.)

#please be safe #if you are interested in p-shifting feel free to approach me but I'm not going to be as open as i used to be #this whole post isn't to claim that the p-shifting community is incredibly dangerous #i can be full of the most amazing kind people #the only issue is people forget how dangerous it can be to not remember the warnings that follow the community #many young people toss them aside because they think it's gatekeepers or a “cool kids only club” #(like i did) #but it's for safety and making sure you take it slow enough so that you can back out without being permanently damaged #p-shift #I will always tell anyone interested that you have to spend time researching thinking evaluating the list goes on #And it's nobody's fault #when you've been a p-shifter for a long time (like me) you forget the warnings that you followed in the beginning that protected you #from spiraling mental issues depression etc. #p-shifting can be done and practiced safely #hey i did it and I'm doing fine. I've lived with it for so long and don't hold onto it like a lifeline anymore #it's more of an aspect of my identity #im just trying to help others understand that it can be fun and safe but it's not something to joke with or play with #it is something that is serious and if the warnings are ignored usually very risky. #bro it's like rock climbing almost #“WEAR THE HARNESS. If you fall you won't plummet to your death!! Remember rules ABC and you will be okay!!” #it's sort of the same thing in that matter. #we do unsafe things all of the time but since we know the dangers and the warnings we will go about to be much safer in practicing it #Im just trying to say p-shifting from the “learning” side of it - these warnings should be heeded and taught. #Or else you get whats been happening lately with people wandering into places that are too lax with teaching the dangers #and people are traumatized and damaged from it #Many new people who I've seen wander onto my Amino don't even really know that there is even a process before p-shifting itself #it's scary and I'm afraid even more people will have to deal with the rough bumpy road of understanding that they aren't p-shifters #yeah so uh #this might not get any likes or anything but I still wanted to put this out there. #Please don't crop this and use this for out of context hate against p-shifting and p-shifters

Working on designs for human Sun/Moon. Definitely not a new obsession character (definitely is). It looks like it has freckles on the in-game poster but I thought acne would be funnier and more like craters.

#drawing entity #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #fnaf security breach #security breach #sun and moon fnaf #sundrop and moondrop #silly silly little fool #gave moon sunglasses for light sensitivity #and also it sleeby #sun complains but it loves being with kids. #working setup is that sun is when the whole guy is feeling more anxious and moon is when it's feeling depressed #when it's depressed it likes its hair slicked back and sometimes wears hats #when it's anxious it likes to make a good impression and have cool spiky hair #i'm pretty proud of what i have so far haha!

[veveisveryuncool]

veve with actual original content?? impossible.

anyways umm have some doodles of the characters from one of the stories in my head 🫶👽 (there is a chihuahua too but i forgot to draw him whoops)

basic storyline is that there's been an unsolved disappearance of one of the owners of a local taqueria, and while the (sherlock wannabe) hired detective tries to solve the case, two regulars of the restaurant (the Weird Kid obsessed with aliens, and the girl whose parents make her study 24/7) and the nephew of the missing owner (who really needs a raise) get way too involved in the mystery as they try to take matters into their own hands.

hbahfbgxn they are like scooby doo but stupider 💜 + they go over their master plans and suspect lists over restaurant booths and tortilla chips

#these characters are all unnamed btw!!!!! i have their entire personalities configured but zero names i would love any suggestions #the alien boy is also trans btw its not important to the story but its important to me #the schoolgirl has been playing the gpa game since birth (popular middle school girls lunge at her) she is also secretly a creepypasta fan #waiter guy is in highschool but has L rizz and is only working there because hes got nothing better to do #detective guy. is depressed and constantly in sherlock holmes cosplay (he hasnt solved a case in years) #he doesnt need these silly kids messing up his mystery but dont worry. they will grow on him. #veves ultra cool art #original character #original story #im making a short comic about them for a competition piece but these guys have been in my head for a year now

Saturday Six (Stuff)

I'd been feeling severely anxious and depressed about my business being dead, and the thought of having to talk to my parents and ask for help again, but luckily my whinging (an Ad) on Facebook seems to have worked, and I got a nice little customer job. Plus some stuff from my BFF and her family (possibly).( ´͈ ॢꇴ `͈ॢ)･*♡

Plus I'm getting weird customer messages. Always a good time.(⑅ ‘﹃’ )

Leeloo is a cute kitten, but she is seriously a little bit of a terrorist. When I say she gets into everything I mean it. (^・ω・^ )

I do not like having this sinus crud that's going around.(*｀へ´*)

I know both options for the USA presidency are terrible. But one (CHUMP) is more terrible. I'm tired of the argument. I'm gonna stick with the slightly better Grandpa Joe. Not because I love him, because I don't. But because he's the one that'll get us closer to where we need to go. We may take three steps forward and two steps back, but at least we're going in the right direction. Whereas the other guy has no idea where he's going. Maybe towards Vladimir. More likely than you think.( •̀ω•́ )σ

I can't believe I'm going to be five and a half decades old in a little over a month. Jfc. I don't feel that old. (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

nothing feels more despair wojak than having wished your first Real Bff happy birthday since you were probably.. 9 or 10 and not having got one back since a year after she moved away when i wouldve turned like 14 or 15... im 22... and i still send her happy birthday every year...i did not realize this until recently...

#despair #genuine despair #i will just have to accept the fact that i was only about 3 or 4 years of her life and after that she went to a new school and we didnt hang #i literally think of her on the reg and i had a huge crush on her as a kid kmao #and ive always wondered if she thinks of me too but... i guess this is confirmation she doesnt lol #its cool... nothing depressing about that at all #or maybe im reading into it

yknow what bugs me is when ppls criticism of YA media boils down to them just not knowing how teenage crushes work

#'bella being depressed because edward wasnt at school is unhealthy obsession' no that's called having a crush #'him asking her out by them hearing a rumor saying theyre dating and bella going 'what should i say' +him responding 'well i guess you could #tell them yes. yknow just because its easier' is lame and boring' are you kidding me i ate that shit up at that age #when two shy awkward people flirt thats how you end up in a relationship is you both kind of just sidle your way up to it #and i dont even feel like that one contributes to like 'things abt him that arent necessarily red flags on their own but as a whole point to #bad things' like. from what i gathered feom the movie bella did not seem like the type to like some big first move #like. shes an emo bruh girl. if it wasnt some sort of edgy teenage heartthrob performance then shed just brush him off like #every other Conventionally Attractive Dude™ falling all over her #ppl keep acting like her not going for every other dude who wants her is a character flaw or bad writing but. like #literally just have you ever met a depressed teenage girl. #shes Not Like Other Girls™ and finds regular guys who express emotions in regular ways boring #her wanting him over every other bland boring safe guy she could have in an instant isnt a plot hole‚ its characterization #also i disagree with the vibe that she's just a blank slate like. as someone who was a depressed teenage girl #she didn't come across as blank to me #she came across as. depressed and emo and trying so very hard to look cool and mysterious at all times and had #spent her life up to that point praying to find out magic was real and could whisk her away into a life of adventure and romance and drama #you look me in the eyes and tell me that girl didn't spend middle school chewing through every book she could get her hands on #as fast as possible. #idk #origibberish

Every day I mourn the fact that none of my family and friends give a single shit abt oni lore, I don't wanna keep repeating shit I've already said before on here but every now and then I just remember the horrors™ and nearly explode not being able to scream abt it again

I love that Batman is so popular with macho toxically masculine men because Bruce Wayne is arguably the saddest, most pathetic, wet cat, weirdo little freak to ever be written

#and all his kids are ALSO sad weird little freaks #'Oh Batman isn't for girls. he's such a badass. stone cold. no emotions.' #baby girl are we comprehending the same character? #he has so many emotions and they're all BAD #this is the same man who collects every sad looking child he sees #who. instead of being a normal 21 yr old. decided to dress up as a bat and fight criminals #for arguably no reason?? like yeah Gotham was really bad but there wasn't a joker or riddler or poison ivy #he just... did that... for some reason #he also let a 9 yr old bully him into allowing said child to ALSO fight crime #Robert Pattinson's interpretation was SO accurate #and they were MAD ABOUT IT #baby. Bruce Wayne sobbing and smearing black eyeliner on his face is SO BRUCE WAYNE #that's the EPITOME of Bruce Wayne #especially pre-Robin Bruce #any Batman that doesn't have a Robin should NEVER be portrayed as someone cool and badass #he's a weird little freak #with crippling depression #and mommy issues #batman #dc #dcu #batfam #bruce wayne #and all his girlfriends are 10x cooler than him #he doesn't charm women because he's cool and suave #he charms women because they see this sad little freak and go #'I need him carnally'
