Tonight, my 15yo comes up to me and asks if I've ever watched Crimson Tide (1995), I said "Of course it's an outstanding movie." We talked back and forth about the movie and it's implications. In the middle of our talk he stops and kind of, well, he gets a look when something deep is about to come out of his mouth. He asked me how I learned to lead soldiers and what was the one thing I taught them first, the most important thing they needed to remember. I said "Breath, just breath." He was like what? I said you see all those war movies, Band of Bothers, Saving Private Ryan, Full Metal Jacket, We Were Soldiers, The Longest day, The Big Red One and a hundred more you've seen they all get the action part right, for the most part, but they all get the reality wrong. You can teach a person how to close on the enemy and shoot them face to face. You can teach people to deal with a sucking chest wound or a tying off a missing leg, you can drill a 9 line medivac call into them when the whole world around them is coming apart. You can literally teach people to do thing like that so they happen automatically, they will be reacting to a stressful situation before they realize they are doing it, that part is easy. The hard part it teaching those same people, those same soldiers. to keep doing things that the autonomic nervous system normally would do for you, like breath. People who have been in combat or other high stress, life changing events can tell you that in the heat of it, at the crescendo of madness your body reminds you "Hey fucker you've got to breath." And you realize its been like 2 or 3 minutes since your took a breath and you suck in air like you never took a breath before. The very first time I had to shoot at another person I pulled the trigger on the M16A1 and let out a sold 12 round burst. I did it again, and then a short burst of what ever was left. I loaded in a new mag, let the bolt go and pulled the trigger again. As the bolt stopped, my vision was getting those little fly-ways, my heart was beating like a hummingbirds wings and I sucked in a a huge breath because I had forgotten to breath in all the chaos. It was then and there I realized I had to remember to breath becasue my body was tasked out to the point that some of the automated functions were not longer running on automatic. So, I taught my "Joe's" all the military survival skills to make them effective on the battlefield but I also drilled in their heads to breath. FUCK FUCK those rounds just hit right above my head, return fire and breath. Jesus fucking Christ, the gun truck in front of us just turned into a cloud of tin foil and black smoke, breath. I don't know where all this blood is coming from, I can't find a hole or maybe it's all holes I don't know what to do, fucking breath. You doing ok dad, I'll tell you what, you breath when you wife breaths then mama, baby and you will all get though this ok, just breath. He seemed to get it when he said "That's why when I broke my arm you kept telling me to breath.", When mom got in her car crash you kept telling her to breath over the phone when we were headed her way. I may never have all the answers, but I bet I can breath my way through just about anything.

Okay so here’s the thing…

I know everyone is freaking out about Riku being taken out of kingdom hearts but y’all need to calm down for various reasons.

This wide spread panic is fuelled by the fact that we have had no news on the games in a while and so we are panicking over nothing.

Namora has already told us there is a lot we don’t know about Riku and therefore it would be commercial suicide to take him out of the games. Square knows this; Disney… well Disney’s stupid enough not to listen fans but they are not dumb enough to get rid of a cash cow. Riku is a big selling point for KH fans. As much as we are invested in Sora’s journey we are ALL also collectively interested in Riku.

There is literal set ups in 3 and MoM that tell us he is MASSIVELY important to the events of KH 4 and Sora’s arc specifically.

And this is the most important one so listen closely. I’ll say it loud for the people in the back. SCREEN/GAME RANTS IS NOT THE PLACE YOU SHOULD BE GOING FOR RELIABLE INFORMATION ABOUT KH OR ANYTHING ELSE! How do I know this? Well because I used to be in the marvel fandom and I got ridiculously used to bullshit articles with nasty tag lines that made the fandom squawk in horror every week. These people are paid to stir the pot my dudes. They know the same as we do.

The article is someones opinion. It’s not an unbiased source using article relating news directly from an “inside source” or Namora. It’s someone on the internet saying “hey I think I can predict Kingdom hearts. Let me tell you why Riku’s looking musty!” It. Is. Conjecture. Not fact.

I get that we are starved of news and so we’re all jumping on the panic wagon, but just take a deep breath. It’s just an opinion article.

#kingdom hearts #kh3 #kh1 #kh2 #kh1 riku #kh2 riku #Riku KH #KH 3 riku #the cursed game rants article strikes again #we’re okay #just breath

My tiredness has left the cave of dreamers sleep

and seeped into my bones

A weariness of strength - of having to keep going

Gone gone gone is me, the simple stary light

And left is me, endless darkening night

#Wilder writing #writing #poetry #Take a rest #Don't do anything #And soon enough you will be flying again -kiki's delivery service #I promise this will pass #Just breath #my writing

12:23 p.m.

Voy a seguir haciendo lo que tengo que hacer e intentar no desesperar porque si no me pierdo. Por lo menos sé que solo concentrándome en las tareas del día, más rápido llega la noche y puedo descansar.

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

#warm up #this isn't good #writeblr #this is complicated by the fact i can't stand up too long or i fuckken pass out and <3 hit my damn head <3 #but i did take a deep breath and buy myself the stupid rice cooker #and!!! a very cheap sushi kit!!! i have been wanting to try making sushi for literally YEARS #the kit was only like 15 dollars!!!! and i haven't purchased it bc?!!??!?!?!?!!?#..... i didn't get the mixer tho that felt. like a lot. like too much.#on my list is a kitchenaid. one day when i get a check and i have paid off my student debt #and medical debt #i will put that first little bit of cash #into a kitchenaid 5qt stand mixer (with attachments)#i really do just go into their refurbished section and stare lustily at each option #but yeah i feel guilty about the rice cooker even tho i know for a fact this damn thing is gonna be a lifesaver #oh shit also fuck i forgot to mention . poached eggs

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

#mental health #mental health support #positivity #if anybody has ideas of their own definitely include them!#i just think being stuck with this feeling that you don't have autonomy and that you ultimately aren't an equal person or a person at all..#...in comparison to other people can be a really troubling and dangerous place to be in...#...and that isn't the person's fault for feeling that way. they didn't pluck those thoughts out of thin air...#...like i have felt that exact way all my LIFE because i have been abused for. probably 2/3s of my life...#...only within these past few years have i even FELT alive. frankly it's going to take a while to repair what i have been left with...#...so i know the feeling and i want to help others feel even a LITTLE bit alive. you deserve it...#...you deserve to take in a deep breath before slowly realizing 'oh my gd this is what it feels like to be alive' and SMILE about it #i want that for you even if it is brief. even if it is small. even if it is a whisper. i want you to feel alive #unironically getting rid of the idea of 'guilty pleasures' has made my life SO much better
