What inspires you to write? Are there things that you know that you can get inspiration from or does it just come randomly?
Happy STS!
For me, inspiration doesn't mean "to write".
There are, and always have been, a lot of stories floating around in my mind - ideas, scenes, vibes, outlines. I get inspiration from literally everywhere, from talking to my friends, and video games, and scrolling past images or prompts, and reading books, and spending too much time on reddit, and…
Many remain daydreams, or character backstories, eventually lost to time.
Now for actually being able to sit my ass down and get words on the page? I don't know. It comes and goes as it pleases. Having a beehive where a brain should be does NOT help, let me tell you that.
I just. Can't focus on shit lately. Can barely make it through a chapter when reading. Every day is just suddenly over, and I got nothing done, and I am so tired. I have a completely outlined short thing I have been trying to write since Nov, and it's like pulling teeth.
I could do with several months off work while everyone leaves me the fuck alone. How would that be.
It felt more like the show was more focused on Cam and Joss consoling each other today while Trina’s scenes were sprinkled in but was disconnected.
Yeah, I see what you're saying. I think there was clearly an effort in the Cam scenes to rebuild his friendship with Joss in the aftermath of her cheating on him. I actually don't mind that because I definitely didn't want Cam to return from everything still bitter over Joss.
I mean, she's the one who fumbled and is stuck with a mob-themed sex robot. But I don't see why they couldn't do that while also honoring Trina, Cam and Joss' collective history as a friend group? I found it completely unbelievable that Cam and Joss wouldn't be concerned that Trina couldn't even make it to the reception or that she's clearly spiraling with her dropping the semester plans.
This should have been a friend group repairing itself over the "loss" of one of their own. Splitting them up like that and not having Joss and Cam have any kind of discussion over Trina's impact on Spencer or their concern over her budding depression, is just not true to any of those characters or that friend group's history.
Trina attempting to exclude herself and "erase herself from the narrative" because she blames herself for Spencer's death makes sense. Joss and Cam just allowing her to do that and not wanting to follow her and make sure she's okay, does not.
The universe called on me to open tumblr at this exact time, anyway, please inform us of how Elliot acts when he’s annoyed with someone
oh my god, he's so annoying. he's such a huffy little brat. i love him. i suppose it DOES depend on what is annoying him. if its someone he's close to and its a "small" annoyance, you get the huffs and the foot stamp and the whining tone that makes anyone without patience think about wringing his skinny neck. If it's someone he's close to and it's a "large" annoyance, you get cutting glares, a brief silent treatment while he processes, and then he talks to you about it. depending on how the annoyance gets demoted you can work your way down to huffs or even an actual useful conversation! Now. A stranger gets Elliot's Professional Persona. Which means he's cool, sometimes actually cold, while he gets you out of his life fast as possible. He's too busy being the worlds best cook and looking fabulous to keep negativity in his life longer than necessary.
I see new destiel posts, I like them immediately, they go in the queue and are posted 4 months later. I promise I'm reblogging as well as liking, I swear it !!!!
Catholic reverts really are some of the most dense people around because they genuinely and truly seem incapable of comprehending that people who leave the Church can have wildly different experiences from each other and be fully happy and content with the decision to never return. Their patronizing tendency to speak for and on the behalf of folks who left the Church for good and how their stories are weaponized agaianst lapsed Catholics and apostates also does them no favours whatsoever. It seems so difficult for them to see beyond the scope of their own narrow field of experience.

I mentioned in previous posts I've been going through treatment for postpartum depression. I've rebooted my morning routine to help me recover. Thought I'd share this Incase it's helpful to anyone out there struggling with mental illness.
Miracle morning is a 1 hour routine where you do 10 minutes each of these 6 things.
S - Silence
A - Affirmations
V - Visualizations
E - Exercise
R - Reading
S - Scribing
But my ADHD brain can't handle all the things so I just try to do two or three in the morning. I see SAVERS as a menu of things to choose from. Watch the video if you want to know more about how I adapt miracle morning to be more ADHD friendly.
In my story, “The Disorganized Alphabet”, I’m exploring found family, identity, and recovery. Since yesterday was Valentine’s Day, I felt inspired to make the last illustration. Raymond has depression, and Mackenzie has psychosis. They’ve both got a lot of baggage but they’re not in it to fix each other. A healthy relationship acknowledges that the world will throw things at you, but you’ll still do your best to communicate and support each other. How do you show love in spite of struggle?
Maybe I would play any of the sonic games if they had Carson in them but they don’t so….what do they expect lol. If you want me to play a game you have to put Carson in or I don’t care!!! God when will they fucking LEARN

Devil on my shoulder: You could always jerk off
Inland Empire from the hit game Disco Elysium on the other side because my texture autism is triggered by feathers: The furnace has long been cold, despite itself. You're too sad to jerk off. This is not the first time it has happened either.
