#these are the highlight of my day now

[biggest-gaudiest-patronuses]

anyone else have multiple traumatic memories associated specifically with holidays/family vacations? because that is a topic I never see discussed in all the So You Had A Shitty Childhood, Now What? self-help books i've been reading. but for me, it was a significant thing. and the more i think about it the more it seems like this would be an (unfortunately) common experience. would be grateful to hear if this matches other peoples' experiences...

#not a shitpost #serious post #ask to tag #tw trauma #cptsd #c-ptsd #and if so we should TALK about it #because it means there are a whole group of survivors out there whose mental health regularly worsens during holidays #like i know i am most certainly not the only person who feels an undefined Dread hanging over christmas/my birthday/july 4 etc #bc too many shitty things happened during those times and now my brain is hypervigilant bc traditionally these are the Danger Times #and this seems like it would be particularly common for survivors of abusive/dysfunctional households (aka most people with c-ptsd) #because holidays/vacations typically mean 1) the whole family is together/being forced to interact #2) and undergoing external stressors e.g. travel/relatives aka 'outsiders' visiting/routines & coping mechanisms being interrupted etc #3) there is social pressure for this to be a Fun Family Bonding Experience which only highlights the cracks in the foundation #and exposes the common Everything Is Fine/We Are A Happy Family lie #4) the cognitive dissonance of feeling tired/anxious/stressed/afraid during a time when you are 'supposed' to be Making Good Memories #and then everyone is angry/tired/anxious/triggered and things boil over and something or someone goes Very Wrong #weird that i'm posting this in october when halloween is...sort of the ONLY holiday i have only good and happy feelings towards #i got lucky there #also i have positive feelings towards Labor Day but that's for socialist reasons

I love Tumblr because nothing matters here truly. There are no influencers. Having followers doesn’t mean anything. It’s just a site where people post their sporadic thoughts and rb pretty pictures. Anyone who thinks any of this matters is woefully missing the point

#I joined tumblr for the aesthetics and now I’m here bc it’s the most low pressure social media to be on #Instagram is ppl’s highlight reel but Tumblr is where u see their pure thoughts unobstructed and I adore that #It’s very nice to have people to relate to and is def the main appeal to me but I don’t think there’s much more to it than that genuinely #Monetization on tumblr isn’t a thing and probably won’t be so it feels stupid to put more stake than necessary in it. Like you’re in the #Trenches over tumblr of all things. Embarrassing #I know chronically online people exist bc I have seen them in my or somebody else’s inbox but imagine waking up at 70 one day and the #Realization hitting u like a freight time that u wasted all ur time thinking tumblr. TUMBLR. This dying website. Has enough weight for u to #be sending anon hate or reviewing ppl’s blogs like they’re some kind of product. Brother this is licherally tumblr #I choose to laugh at this behavior than take it seriously bc absolutely no one is driving me crazy on my OWN blog. On tumblr dot com. #I refuse #I will do whatever I want forever etc

My guy, smoking is really bad for you

We believe in blatant favouritism in this household, so I will just keep turning most of my Tem portrait practices into Rex until seriously motivated otherwise

#captain rex #the clone wars #tcw #tcw fanart #rex #tcw rex #my art #star wars tcw #temuera morrison #I'll manage to draw him one day in a way that you could look at both of his eyes without your brain breaking a little I promise #I REALLY love that wrinkle on his forehead #shading around it is the absolute highlight (lol) of the entire painting process #back to commissions again #I'm out of painting warm ups now oh no #I picked out a couple more pics from those gifs but.. I do feel a little bad for always defaulting to rex and neglecting the others T^T #Tem clones #Clone portraits

VIERAPRIL 19 - ETHEREAL

I see you everywhere. I wish I could meet you.

#viera ffxiv #vierapril #ffxiv viera #vierapril 2024 #ffxiv #6.0 spoilers #wol posting #azem is there too but not main tagging #also forgot to add her blond highlights instead of the black ones thesa has but WHATEVER #her waking up under read more just bc one nightmare prompt for day 10 was enough #so yeah you if you don't see it you can supose she has a blade runner scene in cannon #which isnt bad bc she too wakes up also not knowing if it was real or not bc she doesn't get the echo that well in shb yet #i need the azem eyes mod but anyway. this scene isn't true tho in case you are wondering. it is just a dream. #thesa is just paranoid and doesn't know that actually azem adores/would love her to death so ye #also still thinking if i want a hyur body for azem or just keep the viera nose and all bc i think it's cute #that a race afterwards were inspired by ppl venat knew + their characteristics + what they liked etc etc #plus i think azem could see a bunny and go 'that's my whole personality now' bc aether manipulation #maybe i'll just edit the texture and call it a day anyway not today u get viera shaped azem for now. #so upset i tried this again but with orange instead of pink (to match azem colors and fix her hair) but it wasnt turning out as good #so get this direct copy from the movie ig. whatever. i can try to not be perfectionist abt this. i got it. #q

#i feel like my presence here has narrowed so much because my life has narrowed so much to encompass mostly pain and frustration #with the medical system and disability and the state of my fucking country #and the occasional highlight of my cats #i can't work on my art #it's agonizing to even try and i wind up crying #and it's because this horseshit rigged system has ripped the safety out of it #i might as well give my work away for free since they want to take 100% of my earnings out of my check #which like i am not even remotely opposed to giving my work away (would prefer even) but we need the money and i'm not allowed to keep it #i don't know #my life is just so small right now and i don't know how to find meaning again in a world that keeps so much of what i love away from me #it's a slog and every day is the same #and nothing i do feels meaningful #except holding my cats and being with my boyfriend #and that's about all i can do.

Techno imitating Phil and his iconic “Hey mate” line during MCC5

#Technoblade #Philza #Phil #MCC #Emerald Duo #subtitles #I'm making a highlights compilation of Techno's old MCC vods #but I'm posting this now because these two are my favorite #and also the current highlights compilation for MCC 5's vod is 13 minutes long #so it's going to take a hot minute for me to figure out how / where I want to cut that up #or whether I want to compile it into something shorter #I don't actually know if I'll subtitle that whole thing #Ideally? I'd love to #realistically? I don't have the time and also my back neck hands and eyes are killing me #I'm on the computer all day for work so even the video editing stuff is a pushing it a little for me #I wouldn't mind getting paid by a CC to do this kind of clips stuff officially #but I don't think any of them would actually pay a fair wage #and idk how many hours a week that would be #still. something I am considering #I work for a nonprofit rn so I'll probably get a second job sometime eventually #but before this current job I worked 5 jobs and god forbid I ever have to do that again #that was a very rough 2 and a half years #anyways enough personally chit-chat in the tags I hope you are all doing well #and if you guys have any opinions on whether you want one shorter compilation or 2 longer compilations lemme know #Subtitles #Edited
