Not to put too fine of a point on it, but if you're any sort of creative artist that struggles with mental health and the way it affects your ability to create the way you want to (and perhaps feel you need to), please play Alan Wake 2.

Sam Lake gets it.

#alan wake #alan wake 2 #I'm trying to make this spoiler-lite if not spoiler free #but also saga's way of getting out of [REDACTED] is like straight up a great therapeutic method of dealing with brainweasels??? #like I brought that up to my therapist who was super into it #but yeah #game good #sam lake does not even pretend there is any glamour in the creative process #it's feverish and ridiculous and sometimes it's like trying to move a mountain with a garden trowel #so yeah if you want a fantastic horror game about how the darker parts of your creative brain will eat you alive if you let them #please play this game

Dismantling stuff is basically my free therapy of the day. You can imagine my outmost delight when I found out that the tools had been locked away and I could not, in fact, 'tear that bitch apart'.

#im pretty sure I was THIS close to having a breakdown #So I drew the guy #also another commendable therapeutic tactic #it wasnt the same as setting the earphones apart piece by piece but what can you do #my art #donnie #donatello #vent art #cause yeah #this was purely about venting #if someone's readin #rottmnt #tmnt #sketch #comic strips #art post #donnie fanart

*Overdramatically tosses a Holy Water at you*

I like this pose too, but that body bend was unsurprisingly a challenge. And no matter what, Simon has to do that little dainty thing with his hand (I told you I am not hallucinating, also it's cute).

#I WAS gonna draw a richter for scale but I got tired #he can train with his ancestor later :> #yeah the other thing with these pose redraws are it's wonderful practice for translating styles #especially since I was actually looking at richter for this pose (as he was facing forward)-- they don't have the same exact body shape ;V #(it was also hard because my reference was at 720p or under or something aghhh) #doodle-daas #castlevania #simon belmont #thank you to this pretty hunter guy and his therapeutic muscles to get me out of an energy-drop

very impossible to find the balance between "i want my friends to be able to talk to me about their problems and tell me when they're struggling" and "i am extremely emotionally fragile at the moment because i'm doing very badly and talking about very heavy topics especially with no warning is not something i feel capable of dealing with right now because i'm on the verge of a violent mental breakdown"

#i guess i need to find a way of telling people that i'm in that headspace in the first place #because i probably seem completely fine #but i can't tell people those things unless they explicitly invite me to do so first #so i'm assuming everyone just looks at me and goes yeah you seem fine so i can unload all this heavy stuff on you and you'll be able to cop #but unfortunately. i cannot and i feel guilty about it #but i already have way more bad days than good and when i have to hear people talking about like #very intense personal trauma and suicide and shit #it throws me off for the rest of the day and i go nonverbal until i can go straight home and sob until i fall asleep #and that is not an exaggeration it keeps happening to me with multiple different people #i don't want anyone to feel like they have to pretend around me in any way #but i also don't know how to cope with hearing intense things like this when i'm on a knife's edge mentally all the time #and i cannot afford to keep cutting my days so much shorter when i should be working #and also like when people DO talk to me about these things it's like #it's good they can get it off their chest #but now i'm holding onto all of the stuff they've just told me as well as the stuff i was already secretly holding onto about my own life #and now i have to go home alone with nowhere to put any of it because i don't have anyone to talk to #i've had people tell me this is therapeutic to talk about this stuff #but it's not for me because i'm not talking i'm just listening and then being overwhelmed and triggered and upset about it all #and most of it probably boils down to the fact that i cannot express my own feelings or tell people my boundaries #in situations this sensitive because it's so like. precarious and awkward #but i'm like i can't deal with it all the time it's too much

[roxytonic]

while i'm here should i get a Tamagotchi? i'm a total zoomer but i love the aesthetic and conceptual simplicity of it

#postscript #tamagotchi #on a therapeutic level it's also like getting into the metahabit/metaroutine of establishing 'arbitrary' routines #and moving away (or being less influenced by) a 'threshold' behavioral setup where oh theres too much crap on my desk #like why would i have 'too much' crap on my desk in the first place? #anyway yeah ive been getting therapy these past 2 and a half months so thats why im kind of more normal now #then again if you asked me to do another analysis i would probably sound even more insane and probably discredit my previous notes #sigh i miss this #like i opened my pixelbook the other month and my tumblr theme was on classic blue and just everything about it took me back like damn! #anyway i think it would also look nice on my keychain :)

I don’t see him talked about much, but I wanna mention that Vileblood Drifter Leo seems like a pretty interesting character….

Also, I’m pretty sure this unused Vileblood facedata was his—

In a sense, this guys fits with how a lot of people imagine Bloody Crow. He’s got the pasty skin, red eyes, the long white hair (pony-tail style), the black circles that are probably eyeliner cuz he’s emo like that…

But I feel like they would have used this for Crow if it was him and not Leo. I also have a theory that the Crows were meant to remain faceless for a reason. Ciaran, an assassin with a similar aura in DS1, received the same unfortunate treatment. As much as I dislike it, I think maybe we weren’t ever meant to reveal the faces of the enigmatic assassins. Who knows.

Anyway back to Leo. I find his name interesting. So he’s a drifter? Like Yamamura? Maybe the two were friends then. Vagabonds stick together right? Ha. Plus, taking into consideration the Japanese connections within Cainhurst…well yeah, maybe they knew each other. It would be interesting to have this contrast though, because of Leo’s Vileblood heritage. Wouldn’t it be funny if they were in the League together too? I also think he must have been dead by the time we show up since Annalise is convinced there are no other Vilebloods besides you and her. Bloody Crow isn’t counted here. He’s special 🖤

My other theory about Leo is that he only poses as a drifter, and was actually a Cainhurst spy. Maybe one employed directly by Annalise. He could have kept an eye on Byrgenwerth and later the Church, before being killed or dying…somehow…

I also further appreciate the suggestion that recipient Vilebloods look a certain way. The red eyes and pale skin have to be a result of consumption of Annalise’s blood. Why else would he have red eyes? It also suggests that neither Iosefka or Arianna ever received the Queen’s blood directly even if they were distant relatives. Same with Maria. Meanwhile, this guy Leo was probably like us and was one of the special servants of the Queen that got his share of tainted blood. It must have changed his appearance.

I mean, it’s a theory for sure…but if you look at the portraits of the Cainhurst family, they all look relatively normal. I have a feeling they were simply relatives of the Queen, and though they may have had special blood like Maria or Arianna, they were still pretty natural looking. But the guards that carried out Annalise’s orders and longed to share in her blood? I don’t imagine they were very healthy looking if they ever received it, ha. That’s why I’m leaning more towards my theory that Leo was a servant of Annalise, and maybe a spy that moved from place to place. Either that, or he became a drifter after the Cainhurst genocide.

I dunno, peeps. All I know is that I’m obsessed with my idea that the Cainhurst nobles belonged to a big family that took in the forbidden blood, became incredibly long-lived, and eventually birthed Annalise, the first Undead Queen. It was her immortal blood that was most tainted and held an iron grip on the lower ranking classes of Cainhurst, aka the guard and the knights. That’s when the simping started and the blood dregs thing started off. On occasion, a few of these dreg hunters might have gotten exactly what they wanted and transformed into what Leo looks like. Basically a discount vampire.

After all, according to the cut “Queenly Blood,” the possibility wasn’t completely out of the question…

Leo…we know what you did you bastard…

i really don't know why every single one of my story ideas right now is set during the pandemic, when i HATE thinking about the pandemic

#i think maybe writing about it is sort of therapeutic for me #and it's also the exact combination between contemporary and historical which are my two favourite writing genres #but yeah i have 3 main ideas and one is aimed a little kids one is middle grade and one is YA but they're ALL about neurodivergent #coded characters and they're all set during the pandemic. somehow those have become the common factors completely against my will

actually i LIED in my au tweet i WILL make content for my aus. mayoi poto is my first victim btw. some rough sketches for some silly shenanigans in my brain

#i used markers i was supposed to use for note taking btw BAHAHAA #this was very therapeutic. i love creating content for myself #ok. some notes #all of these (give or take) are events that happen in the novel #no twilight sparkle is not there (the horse's name is caesar) but other than that. most of it is leroux accurate #my handwriting is also messy. apologies #ABSOLUTELY HAVE FUN WITH THIS IF ANY OF YOU GUYS WANT!!!!! #draw me stuff write me stuff etc etc i'll have an autism moment and explode if you do #no id #enstars #ensemble stars #mayoi ayase #my art #HiMERU #tatsumi kazehaya #does this count as tatsumayo..? #like the point of the novel is that christine pities erik but ultimately realizes it's not her responsibility to fix him #but she still shows him kindness. like that's the point. the point is that kindness brings out the best in people #i mean yeah mayoi MIGHT kidnap tatsumi a couple times but like. shrugs. we all do some fucked up stuff sometimes #ugh. i'll tag it #tatsumayo #sage au's #OH NOTE ON THE 'no touching cloak' #that's a plot point in the novel. yeah #erik does just wander around in a cloak that says 'DONT TOUCH' for a bit of the novel

there’s no better pick me up after a bad/long day then reading the kaliz dance scene from The Truth is Right Here (it works every time without fail)

#this is me telling y’all to go read it #even if I’m the shameful person behind in it whose re-reading chunks instead #but also! there’s something therapeutic about Kyle kissing Liz’s hand where it rests in Max’s shoulder #and the easy flow of the three of them as Max learns to be less stuck in his head and scared of himself #or rather- yeah I’ll shut up now

I kind of love how my therapist was like ya that living situation was Really Really Really bad for your mental and physical health, you may be mildly scarred from that it seems because holy shit from what you’ve said it was godawful for you in a polite way and said effectively that living situation was not great for you it seems, you can enjoy being out of it before you worry about the everything else

#I forget that I write as an outlet much like physically running from my problems via long walk with a snack and water at a scenic location #and lately I’ve been writing a very therapeutic au/romcom setup #I was living with my grandma and mom forrrrrrr #8-9 months #and getting that I wasn’t doing enough to contribute to the general life thing #as in I wasn’t treating my chronic health condition well enough to work ergo I wasn’t trying hard enough #which mmmm has caused Some Trauma to the me #where I continually am stuck in the thought loop of I’m not doing my best right now #when I used to could rationalize it out #like oh yeah it’s natural I’d fuck up in this class it’s awful and hard #obviously it’s not my fault I’m dealing with chronic migraines and finding ultra easy and low effort work is hard to do #when screens and daylight hurt #and of course it’s causing a negative feedback loop #because i legitimately thought it was like a high school thing but no #I had to think back and went wait I’ve fucked things up like mildly but I never thought I wasn’t good enough at them #then I went oh it’s the new normal I’m #under right now that’s causing the…. Issues #also she had the thought I had vis a vis editor #but my rough drafts are So Awful that I’m like no I can’t make someone do this shit ona regular basis #plus 90% of my wips are Specific Kink content #vent

did you know that cooking yourself is actually a good idea because whoaaaaaa

#caroline talks #i understand now why people say cooking is therapeutic #because like. i feel so happy and excited when i cook #like yeah it might not really be something I’d be proud of giving my family or friends #bc I feel like it’s lowkey crap but the important thing is *i* think it’s tasty #and like…..yeah :’)) it makes me happy :’))) #anyways i made myself odeng soup which is literally so simple #it’s. water. add anchovies + kelp for flavor. add cubed radish. add korean soup soy sauce + mirin. stir. #skewer your fish cakes. dump it in the broth. boil for 3-5 minutes. #serve with rice. BOOM it’s light but also I feel really full but I’ll probably be hungry enough to have a snack 2 hours from now #it’s just. a solid dinner. #if i had more time and energy I’d serve it with dumplings or steamed eggs #but nah I’m so happy and satisfied now!

had been avoiding buying big fruits like watermelons, honeydew, cantaloupe or pineapple for A WHILE because cutting and cleaning it is so much work but today i had this watermelon i bought bc i just couldn't stand not eating it for so long and then i realized i can just cut in half and then scoop it out with a fork and eat it and it was great now i will go back to eating big fruits with my new method

#actually adhd #actually asd #also let me say #sipping watermelon juice straight out of the middle like a bowl #was so therapeutic #i am telling u #being close to the food u eat is amazing #like cutting and eating and growing your own food #not that i do that bc i live in nyc #i mean i should still grow like windowsill herbs #that sounds fun #but yeah anyways my POINT #when i was in bd we would eat stuff fresh off our trees it was a great feeling #fresh stuff tastes so good the energy is amazing #the vibes make it taste better
