#don't go downstairs

[iceeericeee]

The story so far:

It was a dark and stormy night. The rain had woken you up, and you were starting to get cold.

>>Get a blanket

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

The blanket you grabbed was a gift from your grandmother. She knitted it herself.

As you got snuggled in again, you found yourself unable to get back to sleep. It seems as though getting up to snatch another blanket was just enough to keep you awake. So you quickly became bored.

>>Scroll through tumblr

>>Try to sleep anyways

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

You had turned on you phone in an attempt to entertain yourself. However, tumblr seemed to be glitching. In the middle of each post, it said

⚠️DON’T GO DOWNSTAIRS⚠️

>>Find something else to do

>>Ignore it. It’s just a glitch.

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

As you looked for something else to do, you heard something go *thud* downstairs.

>>Reassure yourself that it’s just the cat. Keep looking for something to do.

>>Panic. Call 911. Someone could be breaking in.

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

You went downstairs, despite the small voice in the back of your head telling you to stay upstairs.

At the end of the staircase, you notice that the umbrella stand near the entrance has fallen over. Which is strange, considering you don't have an umbrella stand

>>Go to the kitchen. All of this walking around has made you hungry.

>>Fix the umbrella stand.

>>Go back upstairs go back upstairs please for the love of God go back upstairs

It took nearly all my will power. #Mostly because it misaligns a little too far off from the canon events and vibes. #But sit with me for a moment. Consider it: #“BEEP BEEP BEEP. I threw my pillow at my alarm clock. ”Wei Wuxian get your lazy ass downstairs!“ Yu Ziyuan yelled. #I ran to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see my grey orbs staring back at me. #I put my long straight black hair in a ponytail with a red ribbon. #I went downstairs to see my adoptive mother holding a bottle of vodka and a cigarette. #'Listen up whore! I need money to pay the bills so I sold you. Your new owners will be here any minute so go pack!' #I stormed upstairs. There was no way I was going to let her sell me to a creepy old man! #I decided to run away. Since I'm not like other girls I don't have very many friends. #My gay friend Lan Zhan was mean but he lived like a block away. #As I opened the door I saw Wen Chao blocking the door. 'Ello Love. We're your new owners!' #I rolled my eyes and pushed him. 'Aren't you from that stupid Wen Sect? There's no way in hell I'm going with you!' #Hey again. It's me the OP of this blog taking a pause. I haven't actually read this story before aside from the memes #and I am honestly reeling from how this watpad fic chapter ends. What do you mean one of the one direction boys chloroforms her??? #Chapter 2 is so much worse #Why is there such a strong focus on the *eyes* of every boy!!! #This fanfic is a horror story actually. I came into it trying to make a funny parody but I got in over my head. Dear God. #It's me again. Several minutes have passed and I'm on chapter 4. What the FUCK is going on here? #I feel like I opened up pandora's box hoping for a fun little treat and got the plauge upon me. Dont read this fic.

#Don't wanna go to bed tonight bc belle won't be there. Soft and fluffy and full of love every time i wake up. #Don't wanna go to the bathroom bc she won't be waiting patiently outside the door when I come out. #Don't wanna go downstairs bc she won't be following me with her little pitter-patter paws and jingle bells on her collar #Don't wanna cook bc i wont have to step over her every time I reach for something or make sure there is some suitable food for her too #Don't want to be sat in my chair bc i dont need to tuck my legs in so she has plenty of room to stretch or just curl up with me #Don't want to see anyone I know bc they don't see me without her so they will ask me where she is #Rosie keeps coming into my room and looking around. Belle doesnt usually leave without her. Let alone for more than a few hours.

Sorry to just drop into this, but another thing to consider with handmade good and the ‘overpriced’ idea is that you also have to factor in how much stock might sell at any given time.

For example, if you make 100 pairs of earrings in a month but might only sell 30 (because you need to give people options etc.) then the profit from those 30 should reasonably cover the time you spent making all 100.

Also, it should pay for the time you spend at craft fairs, replying to any commissions/ purchase requests, packaging time and going to the post office, any online marketing you might do (tumblr posts etc).

Peolle don’t often factor these in when thinking about the value of crafts they buy, which is a bit unfair.

yes there are other overheads but the thing is. basically all of those to some extent also apply to fibre arts

but sure. to be thorough. i spend 10h a week at my market stall and an hour... let's say 2 be generous with it... updating the shop

if i made 50 pairs of earrings and sold 15, the "materials" cost of 1 pair, to cover their unsold breathren, goes from 42p to £1.40

earrings are far from the only thing though, and account for less than half of the sales. so. we can say that about 5h of stall/shop time is covered by those

(plus the hour it took to make them)

sale price - materials cost but split over 6 hours of labour instead of 1.5 is still £12 an hour

#but then. i don't charge for the time organising crochet commissions either #so even charging for labour on jewellery that i DON'T charge for in fibre arts #and more than triple the material cost #which really is fudging the numbers as much as possible in one direction to try and even them out #i can get it down to oh. just over double the hourly rate for crochet #the reason i dont charge for that labour in fibre arts is bc it's expensive enough as is #the reason i dont count 'market time' as paid labour for the other stuff is bc i am doing the exact same thing i would be at home #(making stuff and talking shit) #but downstairs instead of up here #it's a 5h craft hang but occasionally someone hands you money #which i think is a lot of the reason most [makers] dont count it #especially if it's a regular stall setup like mine and not a one-off craft fair #there's no set up/take it down again time it just stays there #i walk downstairs i make jewellery with my friends for 5h and then i go back upstairs again #(hell quite honestly me and babs dont count the money we spend on supplies for the simple reason of We Would Be Buying Them Anyway) #crafting is a disease with no known cure

Everything I've ever been into has been a lie being a nothing consumer distracting myself from the inherently emotionally and spiritually abusive society that I was born into with no way out. I can't believe that I was as blind to it as I was growing up because it's all I see now

I reached a point in my life where I understand about where my place is in in society and about why I've struggled mentally my whole life and to literally not a second of it is my fault, ever has been, and nothing will ever convince me that it is but I'm still suffering

#I'm literally treated as less than human and I don't have a single ounce of support and love in my life forever have #I don't think that people can even fathom how low quality my life has been but it's not my fault #can't even go downstairs to stay with my boomer parents force me to stay alive without having a meeting breakdown because celebrities are #telling most people that they're untalented and sending me into a panic attack knowing that these are the idiots that are running and brai #washing the majority and it works

yknow i noticed the small steps method doesn't help me and only stresses me out more. and like i just get stuck on the first step anyway and never move on to the next one, i'll probably even go back to the start eventually really. i'm apparently an all or nothing guy i can't think of an action as multiple actions bc it stresses me out i just need to either do it or not. the problem is i usually end up not

#i talked to my social worker abt this today #bc like he said that in order to have an easier time going outside i need to do it often enough to get used to it #but for me it's like. i go outside when i need to. yknow? #(days where my anxiety is painfully debilitating don't count lol) #i'm gonna be uncomfortable anyway. bc being outside is inherently unpleasant for me. it's not smth i can get used to #i compared this to going to the dentist. you do it bc you have to but you won't go just to get used to it yknow? #so my thought process is. i'm gonna have to start going outside every day soon for the art program. so i'm just gonna do it #i took a bus one time with my mentor/guide(??) to see that i can do it and i did. so i broke the barrier kinda #but it's not like i'm just gonna take the bus for fun?? i'll get used to it as i do it. i think. like i was before. hopefully #idk it feels pretty obvious to me but it baffled him i think 😭 #both of them offered to just go downstairs with me. sit at the lobby of my building or smth #but it feels silly to me like. if i'm getting dressed i may as well go do smth yknow?? #idk. again it makes a lot of sense to me but i don't think they get it #i think i'm generally very odd when it comes to other ppl in this recovery program 😭😭 just like i was in that social anxiety support group #(aka everyone went there for stage fright which isn't an issue for me i like being on a stage. hate one on one conversations tho - #- which was comfortable for them. so this was. well. the first step!!! in a lot of its sessions. and it just made me feel bad) #anyway that was my ramble. sorry. my brain is weird

It's that kind of day, lovelies.

>>Go to the kitchen. All of this walking around has made you hungry.

>>Fix the umbrella stand.

>>Go back upstairs go back upstairs please for the love of God go back upstairs

———————————————

You quickly turned around to go back up the stairs, but out of the corner your eyes, you see something move.

>>Go and see what it was. It could be the cat.

>>GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTAIRS GO UPSTA

———————————————

Not wanting to stick around, you quickly turn and rush up the stairs. Just in time too, it seems, as you felt something try to grab your ankle. It felt cold, like ice. Luckily, you managed to slip out of its grip.

>>Turn to see what it is

>>Kick whatever tried to grab you

>>WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN RUN-

———————————————

Fast as a rabbit, you make it to the top of the stairs.

>>Check to see if it's still behind you

>>Go back to your room

>>Jump out the window

———————————————

At the bottom of the stairs, it's completely pitch black, with the exception of two bright spots, almost like little headlights. They almost look like eyes. However, it doesn't seem to be able to come upstairs. You are safe. For now.

>>Rush to your bedroom

>>Point and laugh at whatever it is. It can't get you anyway (or can it?)

>>Go downstairs

———————————————

Once you made it to your bedroom, you feel yourself begin to calm down. Whatever adrenaline your body had pumped into you had started to wear off.

>>Go to bed

>>Find a plush. Maybe the Thing would like it?

>>Go downstairs

#yeah uh #it liked the plush i guess #good enrichment #dgd #don't go downstairs #cyoa #choose your own adventure #part 11

I want to write so badly; I'm waiting on the usual survey sites to get some more that I can actually do, and I have time to write...

And my brain doesn't wamt* to. :(

*wamt here meaning my brain feels physically tired and i just. don't want to do much of anything at all, but if I sit here doing nothing my brain also hates that.

#text post #I probably need to go downstairs and nibble something #maybe take my first edible for the day #but I don't want to waste food or edibles so im also trying to wait as long as I can for that... #but I would probably feel less ick if I just did the damn things and then went back to my drafts so...we'll see lmao #it's that or i take an undeserved nap considering how much i slept last night and i might feel even worse after that #idk idk idk my brain needs to just. fucking Decide and let me do a thing whether that's eating or edible or writing or napping just. #something pls!!

[softshuji]

Sometimes it feels like my mom punishes me for things I can't control and it's actually kinda really upsetting.

#i fell asleep yesterday after work as i mentioned before and that means i wasn't able to wash up after dinner #she said to me today that if i fell asleeo again before dinner she'd be pissed off at me #and usually a comment like that wouldn't bother me #but I'm the only one working full time/ with two jobs in my house #especially when my brothers don't do anything around the house #even though they don't have jobs/ do anything full time. and yet the responsibility of housekeeping is always left to me #even if I'm tired. The reason i can't fo to sleep early ia because cleaning the downstairs before i go takes a while #ofc it would when you have a family of 9 and you're the only person doing it #she never asks them either #and then she gets upset at me if like yesterday i don't do these things #and it's like #everyone keeps telling me fo stop treating myself as a machine #but it's kinda hard when everyone else does the same #today/ this week when work has been really tough and im struggling already because im having a hard time #it's the last thing you wanna hear that someone's upset at you for doing something that could have been shared between others #i don't know it just feels like a sledgehammer fo the chest every time #i just feel I'm constantly disappointing someone because im not able to do what they say #ans no matter how much i say it's unfair nothing ever changes.

everything in the world is loud and itchy and freezing cold swear to god im gonna burn this whole building down

#my coworker keeps opening the back door to cough enormously and piteously and flood the whole room with frigid air #and yet isnt wearing any kind of mask #and ive been grinding my eyes into dust for the last three days on a spreadsheet of people my boss JUST now like #five minutes ago told me we arent legally allowed to contact #for like. solicited donations #i fucking hate fundraising but ive been shoehorned into the fundraising position here and i don't dare leave it in case it's like #load-bearing job sec #and theyre installing carpeting downstairs so i can't even eat somewhere warm when i go on lunch

[seagullcharmer]

also thinking abt the one post that's like 'how come when people talk abt time blindness they're only ever late? hurr durr why don't time blind people show up EARLY??' i hate it. i AM the sort of time blind adhd person who shows up early

#libra.txt #like yeah some of it's the anxiety #but i WILL be ready for stuff way in advance #if you've ever scheduled a voice chat with me please know that i start getting my computer ready at least twenty minutes early #like if you say 'yeah let's call at 6! :-)' at five i'll tell everyone in the house that i have a voice call please don't bother me #and have my mic ready by 5.30 and then just Wait. #unless something has come up and/or i am Inconvenienced #i'm the time blind person that assumes everything takes way longer than it actually does #(except cooking. i'm really bad at estimating cooking times) #it takes 20-30 minutes to get to most of my appts. most of my appts tell me to arrive 10-20 minutes before my actual appt time #if left to my own volition i would arrive to almost all of my appts half an hour in advance #(which works out well for my surgical oncologist bc for whatever reason he always seems to be running ahead of schedule) #(i'll have an appt for 10.30 and get there at 9.55 [check-in downstairs takes FOREVER] and he'll call me back at 10.05) #unfortunately the rad onc is the opposite. it doesn't matter what time i show up. an hour early. half hour early. #ten minutes before the scheduled time. she is only ever late. #i have waited half an hour in the waiting room and then an hour IN the appt room before seeing her. i know she's very busy but. um. please #anyway. yeah a lot of us with adhd run late (my irl friends are almost always late) #but some of us DO show up early to things #i have shown up to appts two hours early on accident #i can be ready to go in ten minutes flat #(which gets frustrating bc my parents will tell me to get up early and then i sit around for half an hour waiting for them to get ready. #that's a half hour i could have been asleep) #perhaps this makes me sound selfish and lazy. alas. i have chronic insomnia and chronic fatigue. i love to sleep. #would love to wake up well rested one day #libra's oversharing again #< should probably be a main tag at this point

[brinelakes]

the string on my dsi stylus got caught kn the case zipper and snapped the other day. replaced it

#op #it's a little harder to fit in the stylus slot than before cuz the charmstring is like. more solid and there's 2 but it's cuter #also finally stole a needlethreader from downstairs so i don't need to fight for my goddamn life whenever i try to fit string through- #-something like this where it barely fits and wont go through. greatest decision of my life #*stuff like this not something . is probably more accurate wordchouse #choise #choice #👍

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

#i heard my family watching brooklyn 99 downstairs #naturally i go down to watch with them bc i love b99 and i don't spend a lot of time with them #somehow my being downstairs sparks a huge argument and several lectures #including but not limited to: how i only hear what i want to hear #how my anxiety turns me into a psycho paranoid freak #how i'm a failure if i don't get into a good college #and other such topics! #so i go back upstairs cause i don't wanna deal with them #THE SECOND I GO BACK TO MY ROOM THEY GO BACK TO WATCHING B99 #IM GONNA LOSE MY SHIT
