okay something ive been curious about is how people feel about their self harm scars. because mine are really important to me and I honestly feel love for them, and i enjoy when they are visible.

also this includes people who have any kind of permenant mark from self harm. and tbh if you have only self harmed in a way that leaves temporary marks then feel free to answer this too, or if you used to have some but now they aren't visible

#also this is not bc i get a lot of compliments on them #lord knows almost every member of family has said Something about them & my mother made me cry the first time she saw them #but they are important to me and i feel comforted by them #they feel like something very personal & smth thats truly my own #i absolutely do not blame people for having any sort of reaction towards theirs #my cousin has been getting his covered by REALLY fucking sick tattoos n im very happy for him #im just curious bc i dont feel like ive ever seen someone talk about their relationship w their scars in a way that feels similar to mine #m. #self harm tw

A very traumatized, very unwell, heavily grieving alter whose spouse went dormant laughed and smiled genuinely for the first time in nine months today! I’m so proud of him!

I think Steve tried to be cute the morning after the first time billy slept over, like wanted to wake him up with kisses and cooing and touching.

What Steve did not know, however, is that billy is a raging asshole if he’s woken up before he’s ready so Steve is met with a pillow to his face and a barely intelligible “get away from me asshole” and Steve’s like oh ok we’re not doing that again got it

#billy is me by the way #one time my mom came in to wake me up for something and I threw a pillow at her #and I think that same week my cousin tried waking me up and I just started yelling I don’t even know what I said #i don’t think she even knew what I said but the tone conveyed enough lmao #me and billy…not morning people #harringrove

finally! ref sheets for both my mcs from pixelberry’s classic games: blair (she/they) from high school story and claribel (she/her) from hollywood u.

pb was awful at tracking/making the timeline clear back then so i set their stories at their third year of high school/university, which would be 2013 for blair and 2014 for claire (so, when the games were released). that's it! (i dont know what else to say)

#high school story #hss prime #hollywood u #hwu game #pixelberry #hss mc #hwu mc #can you tell i redesigned blair back when i was hyperfixating on scotland? #theyre so silly #i wish i still had a hwu screenshot of blonde claire #i just realised i didn't write claire's birthplace. she's from santa barbara CA #in my head they're third cousins or something #i've said it on my profile before but blair is dating wes. and claribel.. well! #hsslilly art

Wanting my dad dead is not enough for real

#he got mad because i called him on his vacation because i needed help with something hugely important like not to exaggerate it was pretty #much life or death. and he got mad and said I'm gonna hand up on you and my mom was like nooo don't say that to our daughter and i was like. #ok screw you! and i hung up. my cousins were there with me so he left once again in evidence that he's an asshole in front of my mom's fam #which. they know but a reminder never hurts

My cousin, a published writer, a well-known poet in my country and a literature professor, for whom I've always been no.1 support ever since her first attempts at writing in high school, told me that I must stop writing as a hobby because that's her thing and since I'm writing fantasy mostly my writing could never have any important artistic value anyways.

#what happened was that i was feeling really down these past few days #like mental health dead in mariana trench #and i went to visit her because she lives like 10 minutes away and has a cat i can play with #but yesterday morning a friend of mine made a fanart (i guess i can call it that) of a fanfic i am writing for the five of them #she sent it to me and said she's also working on an actual painting on a camvas of her fave scene from my original story #and i was so surprised and exicted #that's actually a too mild description #and when i was visitting my cousin i showed her the pic of the drawing on my phone and explained it to her and she just said ....ehh.. #and started texting someone #i was sitting there feeling stupid and thinking wow you could have at least praised my friend's art sytle or something #and when i was getting ready to leave she asked me if i was aware my writing has no artistic merit and fantasy is trivial literature #so i should just stop wasting time on that and focus on developing my art style more for her future poetry collections #i do the art for her book covers #and added how we already have an established writer in the family so i should focus on my role - becoming a good pharmacist #and she knows how much i hate that i'm studying pharmacy like it's the no.1 cause of me hating the direction in which my life is going #finished it off by saying she feels like what she's doing in going to be really great and important on a large scale one day #and how she wants me to continue being her shadow that follows and supports her #i left went home and started at a wall for hours #i just feel so dumb for getting excited over a silly drawing of something not more than 5 people will ever read #i genuinely hate the idea of people reading anything i write so most likely writing will just remain a hobby for me #and now i feel like the most stupid person on earth and am this close to deleting all my word documents from both my laptops

"gosh, I didn't see this interaction going sourly" man, idk, maybe if you go stalkerishly obtaining contact information for someone you know basically nothing about and text them hoping to form a connection, and don't consider they might not want this...that might be on you. maybe consider, y'know, not doing that. rather than telling them how hurt you are.

#m #bitterposting #literally all I said was that I think it's kind of creepy of her to find me through truecaller #and that I have cut off all family by choice and don't intend to change that but I wish her well #now she's going off on some manipulative rant #she is my cousin but she last saw me when I was idk 12 or something. for like a couple of hours max and I kept to myself #we lived in different cities. she has a sister closer to my age I played with rarely but not her. I don't know you!! I don't owe you shit! #you know absolutely nothing about me why are you trying to like. compliment me. #is this some bizarre manifestation of grief for an uncle who afaik she didn't know much either

,

i played that ni/tw games a couple yrs ago and could not relate/didn't really care or retain anything from it at all but lately that one thing about wondering if you're just another failure in a long line of failures. is. an

#talkys #i cant stop from looking around and wondering if it's genetic. #my dad might need money from me again for something outside of his control #and while he was telling us about it he said he feels fine bc he knows we (his kids) wont be like this #struggling to stay afloat at 70 years old. #as if 3 out of 4 of his children dont live with him #2 of them unemployed 1 not making much #1 of the 2 unemployed ones being a severe failure to launch disappointment #like. we are never getting out of here. im never going to make it #like genuinely. i have 0 idea what to do with my life and 0 motivation to do it anyway. i keep getting so scared #lately bc idk what happens next #and thats still not enough to get me off my ass....! i guess i deserve whatever happens to me #i didnt turn out like any of my friends. eager willing and motivated with plans they went for. i do not know why. #OH also adjacent to the genetic failure thing: me and my siblings are all different from our cousins #my mom and her sisters are the same. so are my dad and his siblings #all of my cousins are. normal. + they have jobs and families etc meanwhile me and my siblings are all single or unhappily married LMAO #and not very successful at all. #like i dont want kids but its still like. why are we the only different ones its so weird....! #and then within us im the weirdest most othered one too. it sucks. augh

I can only imagine Gristol’s childhood…

He believed everything that his parents told him and was completely sheltered….

I wish they explored more of that in the game

I’d kill to know about his parents and their personalities (especially his mother) and how they treated him in his youth. We only ever see his childhood from his perspective (which is clearly shown to be… not at all accurate) and we never really have another person’s pov to compare that to if that makes sense? We’re given one side and it’s the side of an unreliable and delusional man child. Kinda sad to think he most likely had no one left from his childhood.

It’s not hard to acknowledge that he’s in the wrong but understand why he’s like that.

Also I wanna bring this up because it kinda relates but does anyone else ever think about how he spent most of his life AWAY from his home country? He goes on about how “I was there, I knew what it was like.” But he was there for such a short time… wonder if that ever gets to him.

#saying that last part because of something my cousin said years ago #my family moved across the country when we were young and my cousin said I was the only one who’s real home was our home state #because I spent most of my life there while my siblings only lived there a few years #that type of thinking would for sure piss gristol off

Breaking News: Local Woman Accidentally Writes Inconsistency Into Fic, Has Crisis

#completely forgot i made up a fennbo oc fankid for the modern au when i started writing a dinbo fic in that au :/ #though i never said he was a fennbo kid in the AU fic so i just gotta make the change in my brain #he can be fenn's kid cousin or something? #that works #or maybe the dinbo modern au fic can be like... a different continuity? of the same AU? #yeah maybe I'll go with that! #or. i'll just. not say anythign. and hope nobody notices. lol

rage is a ✨way of life✨

#found out that i successfully angered someone by not showing up to work on saturday lmaoooooo #and im just like… gOOOOOOD. BE MAD!!!!!!!!!!!! #mans has no room to be mad anyway. it’s his fault i had to ot for 7 hours to cover his work for him in the first place soooooooo #a nd he’s getting demoted next year and im ahauxucjsjjsjsjsjxjdhss #in other news im kinda annoyed by my mother’s (unfortunate) pressuring of me to go to the upcoming family christmas gathering :( #like no way manssssss i haven’t seen the extended fam since my grandma’s funeral and i’d like to keep it that way thanks~~~~~~~~ #and a c h r i s t m a s gathering of all places… m a n. im half expecting them to drag everyone to church to end off the gathering… #i wouldn’t put it past the hosting aunt to do that ngl. she had tricked me into attending a church service in the past and all… #like. man. there’s this local mall that has a similar name to said church service… #so ofc it’s normal to assume that said mall is what she was referring to when she said ‘let’s go to [insert name]!’ with no context right??? #and uggshdhdjjsjsjdjs i don’t wanna be introduced to my cousins’ kids as ‘auntie [insert nickname i hate]’ bc that’s lame #and m a n. i definitely don’t wanna interact with my cousins’ kids. i either don’t know or can’t pronounce (or both) their names #i only remember the oldest one’s name (bc he has a stereotypical frat boy name) and the one who’s named after a ninja turtle #but none of the rest. i think some of them have names from my cousins’ spouses’ home countries? dk about the others though #i’m 80% sure one of the girls was named something like ‘triceratops’ but that doesn’t seem right… #being named after a dinosaur sounds cool though… or any prehistoric creature really #if i could choose my own name i’d like it to be ‘coelacanth’ #just so i can say ‘i coelacan’t do it!!!!!’ if someone asked me to do something i don’t wanna do. the pun potentials are endless mans #huh. wow… i started this off with a mad coworker and ended it by turning into a coelacanth… how did we get here anyway…? #oh wells no one reads the tags anyway uehxudjdjdjsjsjss my secrets are ✨safe✨

best part of christmas for me was screaming “YOU DONT KNOW FALL OUT BOY?” towards my cousin’s boyfriend

#op #i said something like ‘you know how everyone’s really annoying about one thing? my thing is fall out boy’ #and then said i don’t trust him now 🤭 #also my cousins like just found out i rly like fob (i hide my interests) and decided to bring up ‘emo’ music so i know it was on purpose #but in a way it was sweet

It deeply bothers me that nobody in my life ever responds to messages from me and they often leave me on read even when I'm talking about something really important

On the other hand it leads to some pretty hilarious conversations when days later I send a meme

#idk...am i crazy?? #it's not normal to just ignore people when they are talking about experiencing a death right? #this happens to me consistently in pretty much every friend group I'm in #one time i had a breakdown and yelled at my friends and they said 'well we don't know what to say' #idk idk that's not fucking normal like say SOMETHING #my parents are like this too #they don't respond to my messages. my dad once didn't talk to me for over a year #I'm ngl i am deeply fucked up from constantly being ignored by everyone i love #especially when I'm trying to talk about something emotional and they don't respond #in highschool when i told my mom i was cutting myself and showed her my arms she turned her head away and said nothing #I'm pretty sure there is literally nothing i could ever do that would make anybody listen to me #personal #sorry i just....went to send my friends that meme and realized they left me on read when i was talking about my cousin dying #literally saying ANYTHING is better than saying nothing #sonetimes i feel like I don't matter and theres no reason for me to exist
