Nicky: what are you guys doing?

Neil, with a face mask and cucumbers on his eyes: having a 'self care' date

Nicky: oh can I join?

Andrew, matching Neil: what part of date do you not understand?

Nicky: but Kevin is here *points at a sleeping but matching Kevin*

Andrew: so?

Neil: we can't leave him out, he'll get lonely

Andrew: he's like our mascot.

Nicky:..........

omg i just read the Ty Lee Azula Katara situationship. Well now of course you need to elaborate on Mai. What's her relationship with Azula and Katara like? does Ty Lee have a similar thing with Zuko and Mai, as her other besties? What is wrong with Mai, bc i get the feeling you've tossed her in a salad spinner as well?

thank you so much. mai is also being whirled around in the salad spinner. miserably, might i add.

mai for me is someone is who is clinging very VERY tightly to the past, and absolutely refuses to deviate from it. ty lee, azula and zuko are her childhood friends? thats IT. thats all the friends she wants or needs. in her mind any change from that past is bad, wrong, and must be reversed back to safe, normal comfort. this is in part because she was happy and innocent and free right up until tom-tom was born - then she was the spare, seen not heard, not understood by her mother, choked into silence, captivity and an intense depressive state. tom-tom's arrival into her life is so bad that mai goes "ah yes, new people? or My People changing into something i didnt expirence before the age of 12? BAD. KILL WITH HAMMERS." and even though she does love her baby brother, she despises the circumstance he brought her. (she's far more like azula than either of them want to admit. they keep seeing glimpses of themselves in the other, like a shattered reflection of what they could have become - silent and meek, or unloved and monsterous. they never talk about it.)

the fire squad is her one and only support network, and she becomes uncomfortably co-dependant. no one else will do. no one else understands. they're comfortable, normal, the shining happy past that she wants to claw back to. she's loved by them, and understood implicity bc of their shared past. thats all she wants. so she's very, very intensely devoted to them, and especially to zuko. her and azula aren't emotional supports to each other, but they are indeed best friends. they both apprieciate each other's loyalty and stability. mai is comfortable with any change that happens around azula - or Her People - because azula is this steadfast, unmoving pillar in her life. azula values mai highly for her skill, intelligence and general disposition. they're the bitchest besties ever who murder for fun.

SO. if she literally cant handle ty lee, azula or zuko changing into something else. at all. then you can imagine her reaction to katara barrelling in and changing up the vibe of their foursome. mai is outright hostile to katara. she's irritable, grouchy, and does her utmost to pretend katara doesnt exist at all. in her mind, katara is forcing their group to change, taking azula away from their terrible little co-dependency circle. change? bad. threaten the new woman with knives. and quickly. make sure azula is apart from that new woman and back in the safe co-dependency circle. if anything changes - if azula changes - she'll turn into dust.

and on ty lee! she DOES. zuko and mai dating isnt too big a deal for her because they still pay attention to her, and the afformentioned co-dependant stability thing overrides her annoyance that they're not looking and seeing her. but if someone flirts with zuko, or mai? its over. shes throwing a tantrum, getting the person to flirt with HER instead, or flirting with zuko/mai. bc WHY is no one looking at her? helloooo???

mai and ty lee get along famously because mai hates change and people, and ty lee gets to hoard mai greedily to herself. its the perfect arrangement, she can farm all the attention she wants from mai and is guaranteed to it. and mai doesnt care about ty lee wandering off to other friendgroups because she always comes back. and it's funny, ty lee makes things not boring.

#takes a bow #the fire squad being terrible means so much to me #the inherent intense co-dependency of four traumatised kids with complicated families and one billion emotional issues #political marriage au #ty lee #mai #ask #starrdio

Taupe’s claims she was once member of the Spider until she go awol after a failed heist and been considered a traitor to the Spider and marked to death.

The mole faunus lifestyle is often harsh and dangerous for a young child of her age and skills but due to diligence, determination and luck able to survive to adulthood, though without having a few physical and mental scars that define themselves as aloofness, ruthlessness and a co-dependency to authority figures that often lead to manipulative and abusive relationships between her and the person who she coined as Commander

i’m finally having success on my very depressing au where shinichi’s stuck as conan and also lost most of his allies to the org so i thought i might share a snippet (:

“And you want to go in there?” Hattori says. His face is turned away in the direction of the museum, but Ayumi’s sure that he and Conan are having a conversation with their eyes. Something silent and uncomfortable that makes Conan huff and Hattori sigh.

“Of course!” Mitsuhiko says. “It’s for our club.”

“Ah. The detective club.”

He’s wrong. They’ve rebranded and started anew after last year. No longer the Shounen Tantei-dan, now the-

“The newspaper club!” they all chime in as one. Even Conan, though his voice is more a sarcastic mumble.

Hattori blinks. “Huh? The newspaper club? I thought you kids were all into mysteries.”

“Well…it’s not really a newspaper club,” Mitsuhiko says, embarrassed. 

Genta lets go of Ayumi’s hand just to cross his arms. “We’re making a newspaper, aren’t we?” 

Mitsuhiko grimaces, as if to say, ‘you call that a newspaper?’. 

“It’s more like an anything goes club,” Conan mutters.

“It’s a fun club!” Ayumi says, elbowing him in the side. “We’re having fun! We’re reporting and telling stories and having fun field trips!”

They’re doing what they want, because after last year they deserve to. Maybe the whole newspaper thing isn’t a good veil when they’re just not that good at it and the proper newspaper club does it a hundred times better, but it’s the thought that counts. 

Plus it’s dragged Conan back out of his shell. Ayumi thinks he might be slightly less depressed than he was when they started.

“Oh,” Hattori says, smirking. He bends at the waist to look at Conan specifically. “So you’re blowing off club funds just to play around at KID heists, huh?”

Conan raises an eyebrow. He shoves his hands in his pockets, finally breaking the hand holding chain. He says nothing, and this nothing causes Hattori to deflate ever so slightly.

#*holding 14 year old shounen tantei-dan gently in my hands* haha lmao they have attachment and co-dependency issues because they know conan #lied about agasa-hakase and haibara moving to america #look at them. i gave them anxiety #*cries* #wip #dcmk #detective conan #their 'newspaper' club is literally just the detective club in another font and the only one who knows is conan. he isn't commenting on it. #he's letting them have this #anyway this wip has me excited cause of mitsuhiko info-dumping on KID's strange activities as of late #such as stealing from libraries and returning smashed jewels to the police and only stealing stuff that has to do with eternal life #also the whole ekoda gang is unsubtly just KID together

maybe this was common knowledge and ive been severely out of the loop but the fact that russel t davies is gay is kind of rocking my world rn?

#like obviously his characters were always super fuckin queer but idk there is still something different knowing that like #its not accidental rep its not pandering its not rainbow capitalism #its one of us telling our stories #like. idk how much torchwood criticism ive read that boiled down to 'they all act bi but dont address it' #and then seeing a clip of an interview w him being like 'yeah thats deliberate i thought it was time to bring bi ppl into mainstream #and i think in a world with literal aliens it would get a lot harder to care about gender in the first place to even need to try #and define it' and its like. hello???? why did no one mention this before????????? #like that literally describes 99% of my friends is 'am i gay? am i bi? do i have gender preference at all? fuck if i know i have #bigger issues to think about' #ppl criticized it for being bad representation but like. is it? #is a group of misfits with nowhere else to go and only each other to rely on who have weirdly intense co-dependant #sometimes toxic messy relationships and lots of hooking up not descriptive of like. most queer friend groups #raise a hand if youre queer and arent exes with at least one of your closest friends. yeah thats what i thought #anyways thats all thank you verilybitchy for your doctor who videos im astral projecting #origibberish

you know, it's incredibly rude that my parents' cat Mauno, whom I see a few times a month and love very very much, gives me a shitton of allergies while my uncle's cat, whom I see very, very rarely (but still love very much), doesn't give me any allergies whatsoever

#noopa rambles #time to go catnap Tikru I guess #he deserves better than my uncle anyways #I unexpectedly met the cat at my grandma's place bc apparently uncle and co. is out of town for the week #so the kitty cat is under my grandma's care for that time #kitty cat was being incredibly friendly considering that I haven't seen him in ages #pretty much not since I moved out of my childhood home several years ago #(bc uncle was our neighbor then so I sometimes popped by to play with the cat) #I gave the kitty so many scratchies #but it's honestly incredibly unfair how much allergies mauno gives me in comparison #I don't think I've ever gotten allergies as bad from any other cat than mauno??? #like. I consider mauno my own even tho technically he's my folks bc I did live in the same house as him for a year or two #he's the family cat you know?? #except I can't be in the same room with him without my allergy meds bc otherwise I might as well die fjhgfd #this guy was no issue at all #it's incredibly bonkers how different the reactions to cats can be depending on the kitty allergy-wise #the allergies won't stop me from hanging out with mauno but they sure make me suffer jfdjhfdg

My anxiety is like one moment im doing homwork and the next my entire life is falling apart

#I think i may also have co-dependency issues #sheba vents

[the-unknown-void]

Just noticed I never?? posted this??

anyway well this is based on that AU I made a short storyboard for, here. After Alice kills Mitch, Adam's the captain now and Nick's distressed silhouette in the foreground

#hdtf #hunt down the freeman #and the void stared back #adam hdtf #nick hdtf #alice shephard #hdtf AU #au #au art #art #drawings #sketches #doodles #oc #half-life oc #furrified #furries #furry art #just in case: note that Adam and Alice are NOT meant to be a romantic pairing!! Adam is just taking advantage of her co-dependency issues #with Alice having formed a mild attachment to him.. hence part of why she killed Mitch to defend him #she's fucked up in the head

I think I'mma go to bed with my laptop-- my throat is just keeps getting sore and my nose runny

#[ ooc. mun — i need a cuppa tea ] #( just gonna chill and type away and such ) #( or maybe being in the hospital got me down with something ) #( i don't think it's covid but then again-- people are rarely wearing masks in that hospital nowadays ) #( minus a few nurses and such-- depending on the wards they're on. ) #( like when I got covid last year and when i was stuck in the hospital 'cos my lungs refuse to be nice ) #( i was moved to different ward that was strictly for covid patients who also have chest issues )

[cockroachgirl1997]

i was doing very poorly for a very long time until i stopped making my mood and well-being dependent on things out of my own control and instead shifted my focus towards questions like "how can i do something good for myself?" or "what will improve my situation?" or "which good things are present in my life already?"

#personal #i used to let the weather affect my mood heavily #now i just don't give a shit. sun would be nice but as long as the weather doesn't hinder my plans i don't care #still working on co-dependency issues

[violet-dragongirl]

I'm getting so much closer to the standard setup in PCars 2. Just need to focus when I'm in the game, take a good break after good results, and keep improving on my consistency.

#irrelevant babble #to keep it short and in the tags #I finally go to the ECU/Engine/Gear set of components #it was tricky at first cos I wanted to see how much top speed I could obtain with how everything else is set up #I improved by about 10 to 18 km/h; going from 311 km/h to about 328 km/h or so #the triple digit specifics is because it does fluctuate depending on which straight i'm on in each sector #I'm also hitting slow turns faster but I still need work on getting in to the right low gear before the apex #and then being able to get close to flooring it afterward without having slinging issues when straightening out the car #Understeering is significantly less of an issue now but I need to work on better references and timings for each turn #otherwise I will consistently keep understeering and hitting the outer lines of the track #but i'm getting there :D! #:3

Why are modern day heterosexual people so obsessed with dating and relationships?? Like so obsessed to the point of creating a gender war because they can't find someone to submit to their fantasies of what loVe is to them.

#dating #relationships #love #all that stuff is too overrated for this hyperfocus on jt #there's more to life than finding a gf/bf jfc #yall have mental baggage you need to solve through #most of yall are clingy co dependent and have abandonment issues #people think finding a partner is gonna solve their shit please no #this is why incels and femcels exist

#not the time. anon #agreed :| #if it's supposed to focus on him as an artist. I think the story is only beginning / unfolding now? #considering he has just found his freedom sonically and confidence vocally. and is [re]introducing himself to the world? #and an important factor in the story is missing if you can't talk about issues with the industry. isn't it? #the co-dependency with fans isn't just a result of confidence problems as per the AltPress feature #so even personal life aside. I have questions #and then the personal life element - the last thing he needs. in my opinion. is to bring even more attention to it #real or not #considering it not to be. it's... well. it passed the point of no return a long time ago. but. it would be as you said :| #so. well. guess we will see #maybe ''about his life'' is more 'on the road. the making of the album' or something of the sort... ?

Ed & Izzy (Stede/Ed or Stede/Ed/Izzy) — Ed and Izzy enable each other's self-harming behaviours

Ed and Izzy both self-harm and have done for different reasons for most of their lives, starting before they even met each other, and have developed a habit of enabling each other's behaviours and also covering for them in a really unhealthy co-dependent way.

Neither of them really get why this is such a bad thing, they both justify it to themselves that they keep each other in check and make sure it doesn't go too far and it's become such a deeply ingrained part of their dynamic with each other that it's a way for them to show each other trust and care.

Cue Stede and maybe the rest of the crew finding out about their behaviours and freaking out/trying to help Ed and Izzy deal with their desires to self-harm and recover in a healthy way/build a healthier relationship.

Ideas/Thoughts - Ed keeping a large stock of candles/always having some lit in his quarters to Izzy can burn himself when he needs to. - Izzy adding to Ed's tattoos to hide/obscure some of the more obvious scars on Ed or maybe Izzy covering for Ed in battle so Ed can do reckless shit and get himself hurt without risking death.

Just Ed and Izzy both having all these mental justifications/excuses on why it's good that they enable each other's behaviours because then they can manage it and willfully ignoring how unhealthy that is or if the self-harming increases/escalates.
