#honestly all of them need therapy

[fandomtrashenby]

Somebody on Twitter pointed out that Orym didn't work out in the morning last episode.

Somehow this is MORE concerning to me than him saying that he never felt so small before. Because we've seen Orym after some though nights before. He ALWAYS did his morning workout routine in some way, this time he just... didn't.

Someone please give this halfling a big hug (and a therapist)

#orym of the air ashari #critical role #honestly all of them need therapy #somebody hug this boi pls #cr ep59 spoilers #i made myself sad #Ashton please talk to Orym

#the way she brainwashed two of the people arthur loved and trusted the most and tried to get them to kill him. TWICE #girl do you think maybe we should talk about your unresolved trauma #do you think being betrayed by your father and by the only friend who knew about your magic #and your resentment towards your brother for sharing some of uther's beliefs #do you think maybe that has something to do with. why you're like this #honestly she's fascinating #you poisoned me so I'll poison you!! #I spent two years trapped in a well so I will seal you in a cave!! see how you like it #the funny thing is I don't think she realises why she's doing all this #she needed therapy so badly #* #merlin memes #morgana pendragon

Living with Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors

Me: *Is super stressed over life.*

Trichotillomania: Time to pull some hair! C'mon. You won't even notice you're doing it. It'll make you feel better.

Me: NO. *Spends 4 days putting hair in a mini twist protective style* There.

Dermatillomania: Hey. Your hands are free. And restless. And dry... Pick your skin. Bleed. Bleed.

Me: Stop! *Starts up a new crochet project to keep hands busy.* Ok cool.

Onychophagia: Hi hi. Your nails are.... perfect biting length... you should do that.

Me: Noooooooooooo *Paints nails.*

Dermatillomania: Oh look, you got some nail polish on your skin. Pick it off... now pick some more...

Me: SDJAKFDSJFKLDKAFDJKLAFJDKSAKLFDASL

#is this tmi? oh well. this is the tmi website #trichotillomania #dermatillomania #onychophagia #bfrb #body focused repetitive behavior #ocd #guys guess what? my therapist all but prescribed that i get a manicure to prevent picking at my skin #apparently after a year with this therapist i never mentioned my finger picking until this week #and she was like 'ok since you find it tough to paint them yourself get a manicure. self care and preventative' #because my cuticles are horrific due to me constantly picking at them and the sides of my fingers #so i've always been too embarrassed to go to a nail salon and my therapist was like 'exposure therapy!' #currently my nails are sloppily painted because i can't hold a brush still and they're already chipping after like 5 days #actually they probably started chipping on the second day honestly. #i need to redo my twists a bit which actually satisfies the trich urges since i'll be running my fingers through my hair to do it #but i won't actually be pulling. but also. i will be getting the shed hairs out. so. kind of fulfills that. #but right now my nails are long enough for me to feel them sometimes hit my keyboard. which. isn't normal for me. #and despite the nail polish i feel the urge to bite them shorter ahhhhh #anyway if you're Black with natural hair and have trich i HIGHLY suggest mini twists since it helps deter me from pulling #sure i have to redo it every few weeks but seriously. game changer. harder to find individual hairs to pull.

Well I've tried writing this three times now.

People of Tumblr over 30-- any advice on how to be Ok with the knowledge that life will never turn out the way you try and plan for and not Demotivated because of said knowledge?

#i have therapy monday but my therapist isnt any older then me so I need like elder adult advice #and as much as I love both my parents I dont really think either can help me with this #my mom will tell me to pray and thats just...not something thats gonna work anymore #and my dad will say 'oh i dunno either kiddo my life's still a mess' #im fine really #i just #dont really feel like i have a lot of sense of self anymore #nothing the last decade has gone at all like I planned and Im honestly not sure where to go from here #ive tried like several different things and none of them seem to go anywhere #gosh ill probably deleted this later #just figured it would be better to ask someone then just go to bed still slightly marinating in existentialism

chainsaw man makes you think its a sick action anime where a horny guy made of chainsaws murders a bunch of guys and gets a sorta fucked up found family along the way, but then you watch it and its actually about a 15 year old boy getting groomed and everybody hates everyone else but theyre mostly busy hating themselves and then everyone dies

#csm spoilers #chainsaw man spoilers #they introduce like 8 characters in one episode and then kill them like two episodes later #half the characters in the intro dont show up until yhe very last episode and they all get like one line apiece #not eyepatch finding out denji is a minor and then STILL TRYING TO SLEEP WITH HIM??? #'i didnt take advantage of you last night right? oh good i totally wouldve gone to jail' #HELLO????? DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF???????? #ik anime is like that but i still just couldnt stomach the show after that #she died like 5 minutes later tho so it was fine #you lied to me i was promised found family #and i got a bunch of fucked up teens who need therapy but instead get groomed #feel bad show of the year #i get its not supposed to make you feel good by the end #and maybe its really effective for that #but i was upset by the wrong things i think #i didnt care when any of the characters died because they had just been introduced like one episode agu #i didnt even remember any of their names #honestly not a good show #ive never liked mappas stuff #theyre allergic to filler and thats their proboem #they dont take the time to make me care about the characters before they kill them #tl;dr i didnt like it #chainsaw man #csm

why can't anyone understand that everyone is different and not everyone likes the same things and that it's completely okay AND normal for someone not to like going out and preferring to stay at home :/

#honestly i understand that my parents care about me and they don't want me to be feeling bad #and that they ask me bc they just want to make sure i'm okay #but i've explained to them what i feel like and they just don't get and i get mad but i akso know it's not their fault and just... oughhhhh #like yeah i have a weird kind of social anxiety according to my therapist and even she doesn't know exactly how to help me yet #but there are just so many reasons behind why i don't like going out and it's not just bc it gives me anxiety #or why those situations give me anxiety in the forst place #1. i'm just a very introverted person that doesn't like going out #2. crowded places/closed spaces/places where there's not enough ventilation/loud places (be it people talking or just music) overwhelme me #3. all said in 2 + flashing lights give me huge migraines that can linger for over 3 days #4. i am very much a night owl and i'm forced to live in a society where that isn't fucking acceptable apparently and i'm called lazy for - #- not being productive in the morning when the only reason behind it is that i am a lot more productive at night #but no one ket's me do that bc 'why are you doing stuff when you're supposed to be asleep?' #i have been the same since i was little. literally nothing has changed #and people where always like 'oh she's just shy' #but idk wtf changed #maybe it was that i became and 'adult' or maybe the fact that i started therapy and they told my parents that i have social anxiety. idk #but suddenly every single person in my family is worried about it and they're genuinely making me feel like there's smth wrong about me #i mean. i have my problems i'm not gonna go telling you that i'm perfect bc i'm pretty much not #but is there really smth that wrong with me that i need to fix #or is society just a bitch that doesn't understand that there's different kinds of people and everyone is different & IT'S COMPLETELY OKAY #have they ever thought about the fact that maybe these situations cause me anxiety bc i've been forced all my life to do them #even if i don't like them #instead of thinking that i don't like them BC they cause me anxiety?? #i mean. i know i have to go out more and that there's tons of things i can do ofc #but you can't just force me to do things i don't want to and put on a good face while doing it *every.fucking.day* #aaaaand i could add a lot more things but i'm once again reaching the tag limit so i shoukd just shut up #it's just driving me crazy bc i know they're trying to help but it really is not helping at all............. #ranting

"Everyone is allowed to have their own takes in terms of headcanons" and "You still should respect others if they see a character or relationship in a different way than yours" are concepts that SHOULD co-exist

mostly on the object show community

#osc #max rants #listen: personally #i like certain ships or hcs because they're COMPLEX they're flawed #or i have an different take of an character thanks to how they acted with eachother #and that's more than okay! everyone does! #but the fact that the osc (at least of twitter) are incredible hostile or treat you bad because you have like #an different take of an relationship or sexuality #is pretty sad honestly all things considered #i'm even scared of saying that i see nickel as bi but with a preference for men and that #i see balloon suitcase baseball and nickel as an polycule who needed therapy #because people could immediately jump on assuming that i condone what bb and nickel did WHICH IS NOT TRUE #i like their relationship with suitcase because THEY did care and THEY MESSED up while trying to show that they care. like #of course they messed up but they wouldn't be an terrible toxic couple either #they all grew and need to talk about it #HOWEVER #if any of you know the reason of why people don't ship them please tell me #don't attack others over having different headcanons or takes #that's all

It's all fun and games until it isn't

#dumb doodles #master m au #1) i think it'd be neat if he tagged along with the other minions sometimes not to help but to follow around the hero(s) to make them laugh #the princess and the green guy are doing this hero thing all WRONG #they should be happy and smile because that's what heros are supposed to DO #the turtle gets it; he seems thrilled as heck during all this #plus....there's just something extra annoying about greenie not enjoying being the main hero and being so /miserable/ looking.... #2) ....does. anyone else think mario might... subconsciously internalize his image as a hero? #like; don't get me wrong; he loves helping others and is by default; a happy lil guy #but...it probably is a lot of pressure to be that constant rock and source of comfort #he's probably mostly okay with it and it probably doesn't cross his mind to be resentful or bitter about always being the hero #there's just this small small; easily ignorable part of him that's tired of it #that the mister m persona brings to the forfont in a kinda ugly way if you crack that mask hard enough #in other words; if he drops the smile; then i think his more bitter thoughts and feelings he hides both as mario and master m #are a bit more...obvious if that makes sense #ANYWAYS THOSE BOYS ARE GONNA NEED SOME THERAPY AFTER THIS #3) i. honestly forgot if the mimi fight was before or after the first mr. l one lmao #i just wanted to do some silly puns before the sucker punch #anyways; it's an au; luigi probably isn't collecting hearts in the proper order chaotic lil man he is #super mario #mario #luigi

Me if I ever get a really bad psychotic episode and think my friend is a hulking scary monster so hit them with a chair: whoops, had a psychotic aggression moment after being psychotic this past month. Might want to find a better way to keep myself and other ppl safe in case it happens again

Some people: no!111!!1!! That's just regular aggression!!!1!1 stop talking bad about psychotics!!1!!!!! It was ur fully lucid and self aware choice to hit ur friend with a chair!!1!!!! Literally there's no such thing as psychotic aggression1!!!!1! Kys op!!

#narcissistic abuse #discourse #mental illness #actually psychotic #actually schizospec #literally yes mental disorders can drive u to do bad or stupid things. why do you think people seek help for them. #because theyre sad sometimes? #even low grade depression or anxiety can make you suicidal. and being suicidal can make you careless and stupid bc u stop caring ab shit #so like. maybe stop pretending mental disorders cant drive u to harm ppl and start addressing how to stay safe #and make sure others r safe around u #me if i say i got mad jealous bc of adhd related rsd and was mean about it bc adhd related impulsivity #people: OH NO UR SAYING THAT ADHD MAKES PPL ASSHOLES GO DIE RN #literally. go away. mental illness is an illness and not a quirk. bad shit happens. people do bad shit to themselves and others driven by #disordered behaviour and thought patterns #and you know what helps prevent this? talking about it honestly and spreading awareness so we can all get the kind of help and coping skills #that we need. so those who need meds or therapy can. so ppl can realize #'hey i felt super offended over this thing someone did that wasnt about me and hurt them! thats a pattern for me!' #'maybe i should talk about it with a therapist that specializes in stuff like that or try to use calming coping methods- #to calm myself down when i get really angry and see if it's worth hurting someone over!' #please take a moment to reflect #who are you helping by denying the disordered nature of mental illness

"I for one, am f**king glad that scum is dead."

Part of my AU where Yuri's saved by the SWers who were going to be Lady Killer's victims. Mini fic snippet below. CW for mild swearing, rape/abuse/assault mention.

Yuri had been conscious for several days now, but was no less perplexed by the situation he had found himself in. He was laying back to rest and heal all the, he quotes, "f*cked up injuries" he had.

The bed is scratchy, and garishly ornamented, velvet cushions behind his back helping him sit up. The room he's been staying in is always dimly lit, with the musty smell of cigarette smoke, alcohol and other substances he'd rather not think about.

"The VIP room." The prostitutes, Maria and Lee, had informed him.

Lady Killer's next victims, had Lunatic not interfered.

And now, Yuri had them and a whole group of strangers who knew his identity and did not care, tending to his wounds and housing him away from the authorities.

"Screw the police, they don't give a shit about us anyway." they had almost hissed.

Yuri knew the high rates of rape and assault cases that slipped through the system. Either too dull for Hero TV to cover or ignored by incompetent and corrupt police. Lady Killer himself, had taken 3 lives before his arrest was issued.

Yuri found their company and honesty soothing. They did not mind his scars, and seemed to understand where others could not the horrors humanity could commit. Not the spectacles of heroes vs villains found on television, but the dark, gritty and messy everyday evils. Yuri found himself blurting more about his father and mother than he had ever been able to in years to anyone. (Not a difficult record to beat, in hindsight.)

His whole family is dead deaddead-

They offered their sympathies, but it wasn't patronising like when his father's associates offered their condolences and offers to "help" at his funeral. Freely speaking about his life with one foot in the Justice Bureau and the other in matters of vigilantism... helped. Funnily enough, Yuri found himself taking the role of mediator often, even advocating for viewpoints that directly countered Lunatic's methods for justice.

It seemed, one of the most marginalised of communities in society had many strong opinions about justice and how to enact it. Alternatives even, that Yuri had read once but ashamedly tossed for their idealism. (Or his own trauma-fuelled guilt?) All of them however, held little love for authority, whether it was the pigs in blue or heroes in gleaming gold.

So, Yuri healed, in this strange community of people who stuck out for each other. Each with their own experience of abuse, trauma and discrimination, spoken and unspoken. Only the beaten would have known how to help him with his wounds, physical, mental and emotional. Quite literally, sometimes.

Rei with a medical degree he couldn't use because of discrimination, Sato with their knowledge gathered from years of organising mutual aid, Mira with her kindness and understanding after an angry client blinded her in her left eye and left it scarred shut.

There were less people at Origa Petrov's funeral than Mr Legend's, but it wasn't as cold with these strangers who'd taken him in without judgement.

"What will you do next?" They asked him, when he was mostly okay, and possibly alright with living. Yuri doesn't quite know, but for the time being, working as a judge who was a friend to those who needed support the most sounded good.

Yuri was not a good man, but he learned that there was more to enacting justice than Kotetsu's heroism and Lunatic's punishment. With people he could rely on, life seemed bearable, even hopeful.

For Yuri, that was more than enough.

#two #tiger and bunny #tiger and bunny 2 #yuri petrov #survival au #lol #im not a very good fic writer #but whatever!!!!! #yuri needs therapy #but honestly #communal care would probably do greater wonders #also i assume he retires from the justice bureau entirely eventually #superheroism and herotv etc. all that is definitely not for him #i think yuri learning to be more compassionate to others would be a great way to repent #in the sense of rejecting both kotetsu's brand of justice and lunatic's #in the sense that kotetsu's apprehension of criminals doesn't quite address what happens to them in prison #idk lol #brain is fuzzy and these are all extremely confusing sociopolitical concepts #main thing is I suppose alternatives to the presented #especially SWers who'd have strong opinions on things that affect them the most

Despite it's flaws, I think this may be one of my favorite pokemon games ngl

Spoilers in the tags

#Guess who arrived at the credit screen whoop #The characters and the story were fantastic #ALSO the whole thing about AI Sada and her final battles are SO good #Honestly? If I had to compare it to another pokemon game then I'd say the impact of the final fight #kinda reminds me of the original sun and moon games but less handhold-y #which in my eyes is a good thing #that aside I'm going to give Arven so much therapy hoo boy this guy's going to need it #and a hug #on a side note #on the topic of glitches and all genuinely? I haven't encountered many #the only time I've had a more noticeable glitch was when I was purposefully messing around #and then got stuck on a roof for a few seconds adfhjk surprisingly enough though the game actually has a 'unstuck' mechanic #if you can't move for a while it fades to black and places you on the ground again #otherwise I'd say while the criticism about the crunch is valid the games aren't as glitchy as some people make them out to be #you can play the games just fine. it's not like it's fnaf security breach or skyrim level of glitches #so all in all? #I've had a great time playing the game and despite everything I'd say the experience was more than worth it #pokemon #pokemon sv spoilers #pokemon sv #pokemon scarlet and violet #pokemon scarvio

Holy shit! I just realized the reason I couldn't fucking see darker art on my phone screen is because I forgot I turned the brightness way down last night and never fixed it. I feel so stupid.

#i can now see the fanart id been looking at without it being mostly shadowed aha #crab says words #i keep my brightness pretty low but i had a headache last night so turned it almost all the way off #it was enough for it to be darker but not super obvious hence the being dumb and not fixing it #anyways i actually came here to talk about how i had a physical therapy appointment but they told me that actually im fine so uh #they recommended seeing neurology for my head issues and maybe pain management and to come back later when i knew more specific stuff #i didnt even know there was a specialized pain management department at the hospital #honestly i think i manage just fine *dramatic flailing that indicates that im both horribly offend and also lying* #anyways yeah still not diagnosed and still in constant pain lets go! i have another appointment next month for something else #its like rheumatology? i dont know what they do aha but apparently i need to see them to get diagnosed? #i am a perfectly mature and functional adult.... (my mother made the appointments and knows the information) #i am absolutely useless :D #and with all that said! sorry i was too lazy to make this two different posts lmao #the pt appointment left me with a horrible headache that i still have so im gonna go cry about it :)

How exactly did you fall into the Odyssey Rabbithole™?

Short answer? I won't lie, I kept seeing "The Horse and the Infant" on Youtube and finally decided "Alright, I'll give this a shot" and then realized "Oh wow, this music is fantastic" but when I heard that first "Penelope~" my hopeless romantic ass was SOLD. And then I looked further and fell further in love with the Odyssey and Greek Mythology.

What's kept me in the "Odyssey Rabbithole™" and made me just burrow further towards the center of the earth like a rabid rabbit is just how HUMAN everyone is. Everybody, even the people who I find "annoying", is endearing in their own way and I love that so much. Because they're so real!

Psychology, History, Literature, and just HUMANITY have always been things I adored and had fun exploring and learning more about so the Epic Cycle as a whole is PERFECT for that. I love people. I love seeing what makes them think, love, learn, grow, and just see them LIVE. And while we only get snippets of these heroes' lives, they are so complex and rounded and have a MEANING to EVERYTHING THEY DO sdlkfj and I just want to SCREAM because of it sdklfj

The Iliad is very human as well and while I still adore it, since it only gives glimpses into so many different people it's hard to pinpoint it all sometimes but with the Odyssey, you have a smaller "cast" of characters to look into and it's SO FUCKING FUNs dlkfj People have always told stories about love and life and joys and sorrows and I love seeing it. It makes me so happy

#I also plan to be a therapist and I want them ALL in therapy (◔‿◔) They fucking need it. I can't fix them but I can study them #(btw. bad therapist talk. to say fix is bad and to just study your patients is bad too. but these are BLORBOS. I can do what I want!) #don't worry it's not that long because I need to sleep soon! #I keep writing and deleting and writing and deleting so this is what I'm going with for now #I've been trying for long time to put it into words but none of it felt right so all I can say is “gimmegimmegimme” when I see Odyssey #stuff. I would go as far as to say it's now my favorite book. there's so much to it that I would love to pick apart and just EAT #I love just reading it slowly and then just digesting it before I move on. #I'm sorry I would put more but I'm sleepy and I think I would need a couple days to honestly articulate it😭 #ask #nikoisme #｡.ﾟ+ ⟵(｡･ω･) One of the coolest people ever btw!!!
