Hello! I'm here with ~another~ text post!
I unfortunately had assumed "ah yes, The Anxiety" has been my problem recently but in fact, no. It was The Depression! (or a combo, super likely!) Due to this, I will be taking a brief mental break from posting art here. The break may be three days, might be a week. Truly a mystery even to me.
I will be drawing daily so when I return I should have multiple pictures to show off which I will separate in posts by fandom. Drawing really helps calm me down unless I get to the point where it feels like a performance obligation which it currently feels like.
I appreciate your patience and I hope to be okay enough to be back soon.
(also, my ask box on this blog has been disabled until I return)

im thinking about possession aftereffects that linebeck experiences immediately after the events of phantom hourglass, so here are bullet points i have down for my own ideas
he’s out cold for roughly five days after the fight. he’s conscious for a bit after being freed, but it doesn’t take long for him to collapse once he’s transported back to the great sea. link finds him when he reaches his ship to see him again (he takes a lifeboat or w/e from tetras ship its a whole thing and not the point) and ends up having to take care of him for those five-ish days.
while he’s out cold, he develops a bad fever, and has a good few physical injures from being possessed; all of his wounds from being possessed manifest as burns, the worst wounds bring cauterized and mostly closed, while smaller ones are still open wounds. the largest wound is a large burn covering most of his back, which is cauterized by the time he passes out, and then there are smaller, still open burns on his upper arms and legs. (the smaller wounds are manageable by link when he follows some medical instructions, [there are some medical books on the ship] the larger one is also manageable, but takes a lot longer to properly heal).
(link asks tetra and her crew to stick around for a while to keep linebeck stabilized while he’s unconscious. when linebeck wakes up, tetra and her crew are good to leave because then linebeck can better report what’s going on, and knows how to handle injuries).
linebeck’s fever persists after he wakes up, and he experiences… pretty much every fever symptom, with especially bad chills and full-body aches. the aches are really bad for the first few days after he wakes up, he’s extremely physically weak and shaky for a while, too. that weakness and shakiness get better with time, but he doesnt go entirely back to normal without actually moving around and doing things to build that strength back up.
he’s delirious and struggles to stay awake for those first few conscious days, too, which makes that weakness and shakiness worse; he struggles to eat and drink water, and struggles to string together thoughts or words to talk to link, and both of them figure out pretty quickly that they’ll have to wait a bit longer before so much as an attempt to coax him out of bed can be made.
beyond existing problems with food, linebeck struggles to keep anything down while he recovers, and becomes ill pretty much every time after he eats anything, so a bucket is kept near his bed. with water, he obviously needs to drink a lot of it considering that he’s feverish, injured, and vomiting frequently, but while he’s sick he has a bit of an irrational fear of water (along with an irrational fear of air and the wind, which makes him hesitant to go outside while he’s sick).
he’s generally pretty irritable, which isn’t particularly new, but it makes him prone to refusing help with certain things. he’s less irritable when tired and just resting. he’s also especially nervous, and despite the overall fatigue, he struggles to sleep for very long while he’s sick, and as said before, is often delirious and even confused when things are bad.
along with the other difficulties eating, linebeck has a hard time swallowing for a bit, and salivates a lot more than normal while he’s sick. he is soooo fucking dehydrated the whole time and that really doesn’t help.
while the weakness and shakiness stays for the entire time he’s sick and even a bit afterwards, for the first few days after he wakes up he’s stiff and also experiences some muscle spasms and numbness in his limbs, and has a hard time keeping his balance the first few times he gets out of bed.
once the sickness clears up fully, linebeck has to still be careful with the scar on his back; it’s sensitive to touch for a while and hurts when exposed to the sun or air for too long and when he stretches his back too far, but eventually just reaches the point where it’s a bit sensitive but is otherwise just a large scar.
obviously he’s also going through the wringer in an emotional and mental illness sense too but those would require a whole new bullet point list.

quick post bc im fucking frustrated to tears rn over this (was just logging in to update my writing sideblog lmao) - the most infuriating and terrifying thing abt my current situation is that despite the lifelong abuse, i still cannot keep my fucking mouth shut sometimes
I've been doing what I can to keep myself up to date with what's happening news-wise without pushing myself into dangerous territory mentally/emotionally, and STILL I fucking suffer because I could not keep my mouth shut around parents TWICE now within the past couple days. and then i get into hot water with them and shit gets bad again and i lose whatever meager amounts of respect or trust or whatever semblance of human decency and kindness they had decided to give to me bc I'd "earned" it by being silent and agreeable.
all i said today was that i think Domino's might be a company to boycott bc my mother mentioned getting pizza for my brother's upcoming bday and then there was just a whole fucking awful thing and I just am so fucking angry w myself. it was so much easier and safer when i never had access to the internet bc i never knew anything that they didnt agree with so i could never say anything wrong in that regard. like at least i Know things now and can actually have opinions, but ... idk. sometimes I feel like it isnt worth it if I keep fucking myself over like this because I can't just hold my tongue.

eternally ill over wkx re: the loud silly pitchflirting pain in the ass all of the time / silent unspoken protection when it is like. something that genuinely bothers zzs dichotomy.
yes!!!!!!!!!!!! exactly this. aaaaa this guy. this dude. aaaaaa hhhhh
and. i dont know about you but it took me actually quite a while to notice this second side of him. ive been very focused on zzs (the guy made it so hard for me to understand his thought process hnngggggg it was a pain in the ass), many things that had to do with others went right over my head. its been a joy to discover so many moments of this, in which wkx expresses his thoughtfulness and compassion in this quiet sort of way. and it absolutely has me by the throat because! because! its the same thing zzs does, they are the same in this!!! and i didnt notice at first i only noticed zzs doing that it took me two reads! to understand! this! ughhgghghg
YEAH!!!!!!!!!! YEAH. GOD. for me i think it was like.. the second or third time he was described as like... quietly helping support him when he was exhausted or like.
^ this moment maybe when it clicked. like. Oh. okay. okay he is loud and obnoxious about everything except things that matter he will draw attention to Everything except his thoughtfulness or compassion. he is, in fact, aware of when it's okay to be a bitch and when it's time to not be. it... actually is genuine. & YEAH... ZZS BEING THE EXACT SAME WAY.like it definitely ties into how they have functionally similar pasts in which genuine kindness was exploitable and unnecessary but. ohh my god. yet another way in which they don't. have to explicitly Communicate™️ because the gesture of support or honesty is transparent enough in itself..

love how my brain won’t stop until it sees me as the crazy one when he literally treated me like shit for shits n giggles til I finally broke and told him to kill himself likeeeeeeeee i have to dissect this feeling of needing to take the blame of other people’s motions and think it’s my fault. It’s always you’re too naive, too sensitive, too giving it’s always that and the need to be liked by ppl who wouldn’t care if I died. Shoutout the smiths. But I have to assume it deals with childhood trauma, having to take blame of things I didn’t do, always having to put up a front for piers and if I didn’t it’s humiliation…like I get it but after you realize all these things how do you get out of it..I’ve accepted and now its on repeat step by step and it starts with that poor excuse of a man
