i think, for trauma survivors, especially those who were emotionally abused, invalidated, or gaslit, it is really important not to underestimate the significance of speaking bluntly about what happened to you. Forcing yourself not to beat around the bush, not to downplay what you went through with your words. say what happened, without any caveats, without any “but it could’ve been worse”, “but i might just be being overdramatic”, “but it wasn’t really THAT bad,” and so forth. sit with the discomfort until you can begin to let yourself realize that it WAS that bad, you WERENT being overdramatic, and even if it could’ve been worse you still didn’t deserve it. It’s almost like a form of reclamation, taking back your memories, taking back your life, even the difficult or gross parts, and refusing to let anyone change the narrative or tell you how you should feel anymore, even yourself. and it hurts and it’s scary and it feels weird and awkward and sometimes you want to convince yourself you’re lying, but i think sitting in those weird feelings and letting yourself admit that you really did go through trauma puts the power back in your hands to process things and be compassionate to yourself while you heal

#like. recently i’ve been reflecting a lot on this trauma i have with this absolutely godawful english teacher i had in grade 7 #he was an absolute creep and even though he never touched me i knew he touched other girls and made even creepier comments to them #than he did to me. and i never really had time to fully understand the gravity of the damage he did to me because i was #so focused on the fact that it could’ve been worse and he never even actually touched me or got that close to me save a few times #but yesterday as i was reflecting on this i finally got myself to admit. i was terrified of him and i was terrified for every fucking minute #that i spent in that class. and i was a child who never should’ve had to deal with that and it’s clear that i still have a lot of problems #from that whole event. and the more times i repeat that and get myself to understand it. the more i’m able to be compassionate to myself now #and patient with myself in the things i struggle with as a result of what happened #childhood trauma #trauma #cptsd healing #cptsd recovery #cptsdawareness #trauma survivor #trauma recovery

all i'll say about Noah's video is that i think it's weird people are calling it a "bad apology", because it's not even an apology video. the only thing he says is that his opinions have been misconstrued and that he doesn't want people to die, which, yeah, he already said before. there's no sorry, from the video alone you wouldn't even know if he's aware of what he did that made people turn on him so fast in the first place

i know the norm nowadays is to call any response to an issue/a situation an "apology" but sometimes it's just a statement, which is what this is. if he was genuinely "apologizing" he'd have to address the actual things he did, like keep misinformation up, even after it's been disproven and worst of all the "zionism is sexy" thing. what he's doing is just cautious backpeddling by saying everyone got him wrong. just a pretty obvious pr nothing-statement sadly

#seen some people say to watch his 'apology' and just... why are you calling it that #he only doubles down on not wanting anyone to die which is something he's already said before #i didn't expect him to actually reflect and do a 180 in a few months so i'm not surprised #if he ever does change his mind i'd expect it to take a few years at least #but well... just seems like a damage control press statement he's making because of ST production starting up again #my opinion on it in case you're curious #but also obligatory holy shit it's tiring to see people immediately jump to wishing death and disgusting things on him and his family #unproductive as hell #posting online about how much you want a celebrity with a shit moral complex to get hit by a car or something is Still not activism #shockingly #so nothing's changed essentially #that 1 minute video really did nothing who would have thought

#random personal stuff #personal whining feel free to ignore #HOW does one - knowing full well that the boss is out with surgery for the next few weeks #and that someone else is already taking next week off and it's been already arranged for a while #and that there are only two other staff members besides - #HOW then does one decide at practically the last minute to insist on taking next week off for a vacation on a whim #leaving two people as the only library staff for a week #or perhaps expecting the one with existing plans to alter his schedule to suit this whim #I do not understand this and quite frankly I don't think much of it #especially after having a long talk with the counselor this morning about what constitutes being selfish and inconsiderate #(remind me why I pay someone to force me to deal with my feelings twice a month this was a terrible idea) #(I don't want to think about this don't make me we're all better off if I don't answer this week's reflection question) #anyway I already feel like I got something sucked out of me and now this nonsense #imagine living in a world where you could just do. things. like that. to other people. & not care. because you get your fun whim vacation.

Black Star has not had many opportunities to show it, but her Healing Powers are extraordinary in their capabilities. They can heal the tiniest of scrapes to broken bones, and even gunshot wounds. Yep, you read that correctly!

As soon as her Healing Tears are applied to the wound's location; the injury will glow a bright white color as organs, tissue, bone, and whatever needs repair is fixed in a couple of minutes (so the process isn't instantaneous.) In the case of wounds caused by weapons (such as bullets), the tears absorb the bullet(s) and shrapnel and gently plucks them out of the injured party's body to enable a full-body recovery.

While Black Star predominantly uses her powers to heal living beings, she can also use them on inanimate objects. Such as if someone's outfit has a tear, a drinking glass broke, etc.!

The only limitation with her capabilities is Black Star cannot resurrect the dead, nor can she heal wounds caused by Angel and/or Blessed weapons. Regeneration of missing body parts is also off the table.

#ask to tag #Headcanon #i updated her dossier to reflect this a few minutes ago <3 #i thought it would make her more interesting as a character to explain it more in a detailed post like this ^^

there's normal thought exercise questions to be had about fave charas like 'what would your fave do in X situation' or 'does your fave like Y why or why not' but the most important question to me i could ever answer about my faves is 'do they like shadow the hedgehog and is it purely ironic or do they have all 326 route titles memorized'

#snap chats #'snap can you go three minutes without mentioning shadow' No its my brand at this point. hes in the pfp i gotta mention him once a week #anyway listen to me. its because its my favorite question and answering Who Likes Shadow is good for character analysis <- bullshitting #understanding shadow the hedgehog is something done by few as is so thats why its esp funny to think bout other charas's thoughts on him #i think its just funny to think about all these 40-70 y/o men getting In Too Deep about an anthropomorphic alien hedgehog #on the real tho i love Thought Exercise Questions when it comes to fave charas... #its a good way for me to stop and reflect on a chara and make sure i still have their character in mind whenever i go to portray them #i be asking these questions every day over the dumbest shit you can think of like 'who basically lives off an air fryer' #silly things like that..... plus then i make tier lists in my mind... fun organization games for the mentally unsound... #ok im drawing for myself now bye #i just needed to remind everyone im thinking of sonic. which i SHOULD make a blog for #but like i'll prob never make sonic fanart or talk about it that deeply- not consistently enough to make a blog for it #ok bye bye ill be back with actual rgg content and then you guys can remember why you followed me in the first place LMAO

You are given the chance to pick any piece of media and art (and I mean any) to be buried on the earth as the world's legacy; it can be anything, from audios to images to movies and interactive media. Think of it as the Golden Record, though with the certainty that someone somewhere will discover it again in the future and know how to use it.

What would you choose?

This question took a lot of consideration, but I think I finally have an answer. The M*A*S*H TV series collection.

Although the series does focus primarily on the Vietnam war, it's got a lot of messages that've really stuck with me through the years. It's a perfect mix of humor and tragedy and in my opinion shows so many ranges of human emotion as well as dealing with various conflicts both physically and mentally. It's a series that I feel will have some relatability to whoever would come across it and manage to watch the whole thing. And even if they don't relate to any of the stories, I'm confident that certain episodes like "Sometimes You Hear The Bullet" and "The Interview" will definitely leave an impression on them. M*A*S*H is a wonderful combination of funny, serious, and heartbreak and I think it really speaks to the idea of the human spirit in its highs and lows.

#I really liked this question #it really made me reflect on a lot of things and when I narrowed my choice down to this show it made me think about it even more #like I remember watching those two episodes I mentioned for the first time and having to take a minute to really think about them #they're some of my favorite episodes and they absolutely broke me in such a poignant way #M*A*S*H is one of the few pieces of media that've changed my way of seeing the world in such a visceral way #it'll always have a special place in my heart #mash 4077 #m*a*s*h #asks #answered asks

anyone else just really really really frustrated, constantly, all the time

#it's the emotion i hate the most and yet i always feel it #it's the helplessness of it. knowing there's so much you can't actually change #it's true about big things like the political state of my country or disasters in other places in the world #and the small things like my constant pains with no real relief and the way my brain works against me no matter what #actually i think that might be the core of it. feeling like i can't affect anything about my own brain #which either reflects or is reflected on by outside things #i constantly say life isn't for me and how surely i wasn't meant to exist and this is it. it's bc of this frustration underlying everything #I'm so tired. and again feeling. ig. the closest english word. despair. constant despair. that's the end result of frustration #vent #negative // #sorry. everything is just Off today 😔 i can't do anything for more than a few minutes before i get upset abt it.

doctor office workers love me for my polite tones and sense of whimsy

#had an eye exam and they did a bunch of new shit cuz i havent been in a few years #like they did the normal shit they did the slides and the lights and the letters #but they also numbed my corneas w this yellow eyedrop stuff and everything turned yellow for a minute #and then they took this bright as little pinpoint light and got it reaaaally close to my eye #and after i was like man that got so close i thought it was gonna touch my eye lol #and the lady said oh it did thats why i numbed you. i just dont tell people their first time so they dont get squeamish #and i went well! thats very cool now that ive done it and know it feels like nothing but yes i probably wouldve been squeamish thank you #and then the doctor came in and was like ok follow the pen and i was tryjng not to giggle because it felt so silly like. idk #and i told him i was like sorry if this is weird but im very tickled about this whole process like its fun to me its interesting i feel like #a little kid its neat #and he was like well im glad you’re enjoying yourself now read these tiny ass letters #he was cool he thought it was funny #and the lady that helped me pick out new glasses was really nice and helped me out and told me which ones she liked on me #(i ended up going w the ones she liked because i also liked them theyre cool it was fun) #interacting with random people makes me feel so well adjusted and normal like this is what its all about. #just having fun being a little kooky at the eye doctor. thats what im here for #my eyes are so sensitive now tho and its bright as fuck outside #theres no clouds and snow on the ground so im being bombarded by reflected light #i am under fucking attack

Zaz art real????? Not clickbait????

First I had Eod, then Doe, now presenting: Luna!

#zaz draws #world of zaz #woz #luna of soul #new avatar yay!!! #fun fact doe is only like. a few hundred millennia older than luna #which is about equivalent to a few minutes for them #also fun fact: luna's face is reflective!! #bc moon themings AND mirror motifs #her eye reflects the phases of the moon #and the rest of her face is mirror-like; reflecting those who look at it #bc the neat thing about gods in woz is that their appearances are based on individual perception #also her hair is made of water with ice and snow at the top. bc ocean #it freezes when she manifests in areas experiencing winter so she ties it up and puts her hood on #her body from her neck down is made of earth #bc her elements are earth ice water lightning #she's got associations with overworld spring and winter #mainly winter bc earth and ice are her primary elements

just my silly thoughts on why i love the latest igtv.

#i wasn't sure what i thought of the latest igtv but after after watching it again i really enjoy it #it's like a love letter to latam fans but also his fans in general #even though we didn't get much stage footage until the last few seconds it was filled with content that joshua films of fans before the sho #this is what louis sees through josh's lens and as josh said this tour has been unreal never documented anything like it #and while josh puts the videos together we know that louis is involved and gives final approval so this is what LOUIS WANTS TO SHARE WITH U #i love getting to listen to him speak about how he feels : how he felt prior to going on tour not knowing if it would even happen #then to the reception he has had all over the world and in particular latam #this igtv was his moment of reflection his moment to take it all in as he has done during this leg of the tour when he watches the crowd #at the end of beautiful war and shakes his head in amazement #so yes it was only a 3 minute igtv that didn't share as much bts or stage footage but to me it showed so much more #again he's telling us the insecurities and uncertainties that he had at the start of his solo career (like he did in the afhf2021 doc) #he's telling us how he thinks about the tour and how they continue to work on the show the staging and how he feels that he himself #as an singer and performer has evolved over the last four month #and most of all he tells us how he feels about stepping into a each city and the reception he gets not just on stage but off stage #he feels the love and support we give to him as a SOLO artist #so yeah i wish we got yacht footage but i am grateful that louis took the time to do a reflective video and ultimately #it was the perfect leg of the tour to do it #so thank you louis for sharing a piece of you with us #if you made it to the end thank you for reading my ramblings #lt igtv #6.10.22 #mine #ltwt2022 latam

#i had a gremlin student that kept talking over me while i was trying to do attendance + then gave me lip when i asked them to be quiet for #a few moments so i could finish attendance #they went to the bathroom after the 10 minute waiting period + for some reason get caught up in a tardy sweep? which. objectively i #disagree with them getting in trouble since they waited the 10 minutes out and had a bathroom pass. however the evil petty side of me was #like 🍵 interesting... 🍵 😐 thankfully nobody asked to go to the bathroom while all of this was going on #and the kid apologized when they came back + were lamenting the story to me so 🏌🏻‍♀️ #what a day 🧙‍♂️😩 nothing too crazy happened but I'm more exhausted after the school day today than I've been in a while... #perhaps it is the four hours of sleep 😐🤪 anyways it is time for me to nap 😩👍🏻 #sriracha.txt #originally i called them a bitchass student but ykw upon distance and reflection that's a pretty harsh thing to call a kid.. #even in petty exhaustion. so i changed it to gremlin bc their actions were rude and uncalled for but not really evil
