Writing Prompt:

Darcy Lewis keeps a line of Avengers bobble heads (and a few other key players) in her office. When someone is frustrated, they walk in and flick the bobble head of the Avenger giving them grief - no questions asked.

It’s a bit of a joke for Stark employees (who are perpetually frustrated with Tony) and a safe place for SHIELD agents (who are still a bit awed that Darcy keeps a Nick Fury bobble head).

Surprisingly, Loki’s bobble head is the least used of all. Even by the Avengers themselves.

Do demons have heartbeats, like people?

Or are their bodies frozen in immortality, like vampires?

Prompt

Immortals might have been alive a long time, but they’re also experiencing scientific, academic, and theoretical breakthroughs at the same we are. Sure, some might be jaded and depressed from watching their loved ones die. Some might be hollow from experiencing all the physical pleasures of the world. But imagine...

An immortal whose dedicated his/her life to medicine and is envigorated by the leaps and bounds made over the last century. Who has seen plagues ravage the world and, knowing they can’t die, thrusts themself into the worst of it.

Them: OMG how did you lose so much weight?!

Me: Well, first I had to gain the weight, which took a couple of years. Honestly, I recommend just skipping that part altogether.

Self care is a myth, there I said it, self care is a myth because it makes us believe that taking care of yourself is a luxury, and yes, unfortunately, it is a luxury to a lot of people, but what I hate about the popularized version of “self care” is the shallowness of it all. Taking care of yourself is more than putting on a face mask, it’s looking at yourself when you are feeling down and trying to figure out what it is you need, it’s looking for patterns in your behaviour to help you understand yourself, it’s taking time off to not only take care of yourself physically but emotionally, it’s keeping a diary, it’s confronting people that have hurt you, it’s finding an eating pattern that works for you, it’s fixing your sleep schedule. Self care is therapy, is sobriety, is being alone for a while, is vulnerability, is ugly and sad and, quite frankly, is a lot of work. I understand that everyone’s version of “self care” is different and that what I take for granted is indulgence to some other but what I want to say is that real self care comes from within. There is nothing, no clear skin, no weight, no dress size, no plastic surgery, that can provide you with what it is you need. Research shows that material things, though they can keep us happy for a short time period, fail to do so after their novelty has worn off. We go back to our biological level of happiness and the only way to become better people, and to truly make a change within ourselves, is to do the work.

(CW: Subtance Abuse) A lot of people on this hellsite (rightfully) look up to John Mulaney for a number of reasons, so with the news of his return to rehab to handle SUD-related issues, please be kind to yourself and to anyone you know who’s struggling with addiction.

Addiction is not a weakness or a character flaw. Sobriety is often a lifelong endeavor. John Mulaney has been candid about his substance abuse in the past; he’s been working on his sobriety for over 15 years. He isn’t any weaker for a relapse, and his desire to go into rehab is commendable and honestly brave. He is absolutely still a person to look up to: his worth as a person has not “changed” with this revelation.

Addiction is isolating in regular conditions. Given the hell year we’ve had, where our existence has become even further defined by distance and isolation, people who are struggling with substance abuse and addiction are probably even more isolated than ever. Be kind to yourself, and be kind to any loved ones who are feeling isolated or struggling with SUD.

For US friends, here’s the SAMHSA resources page — their referral service doesn’t require insurance and is completely confidential. If you don’t have insurance, they can get you in contact with state sponsored offices; they also have a directory to search for programs.

(If anyone has more info on how to seek counseling and rehab for addiction with/without insurance, please add it in the notes!)

While I wish John Mulaney the best as a fellow human and want to thank him for all the happiness he’s brought me with his comedy, I don’t want him to work on his sobriety simply because I want to hear his next comedy special. I don’t want anyone’s battle for sobriety to be framed in terms of how they can return to their normal function, to their “usefulness” to society. I just want him to be happy and healthy with his wife and his dog and himself, full stop. I’d like to remind everyone that nobody — Mulaney, me, or the person reading this — ever, ever owes anyone a joke or a smile.

Stay safe and healthy this winter !

“The other thing about depression

Is it kind of collapses time...

Suddenly, you find your whole days blending together to create one endless

And suffocating loop.

So, you find yourself trying to remember

The things that made you happy.

But slowly, your brain begins to erase

Every memory that ever brought you joy.

And eventually,

All you can think about is how life has always been this way.

And will always continue to be this way.”

-Euphoria: Episode 1.7
