Another drawing featuring Stanley whispering to Narrator (Grey.) He's annoyed and flustered every time Stanley does this.

#like. man i know fluttershy is causing problems by being really scared of going to see this dragon but can you at least. as someone who has #known her since childhood. be kinder to her??? its a relief when i see aj and twi being sweet to her and then it gets so stressful when rd #comes back on screen. be. nice.

Stopped at the local Mediterranean grocery store and the gruff Turkish man who was working today saw me pick up Turkish coffee

"Do you know that doesn't work with American coffee making?"

"Yup! I have an ibrik I use all the time."

Slow nod, he asked if I had family from Greece or Turkey.

"Not that I know of. I just like making a lot of Mediterranean foods."

Suspicious squint. "Why Mediterranean foods?"

"It ...tastes good? And I like the variety with different regions."

Another slow nod. Then he advised that I try cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom in my coffee (I do that already bc he's right it's delicious but I thanked him for the tip. Y'all should put spices and even orange peel in your coffee.) I feel like I passed a test.

#maybe the suspicious squint was bc he thought i was gonna say something about the Mediterranean diet??? #this was at least less stressful than when i got stuff to make dolmas #and he pinned me with a stare and asked what I was putting in it and i felt FEAR #bc i couldnt remember what region did what version of dolmas but oh boy i know the signs of 'the other versions are wrong' #i said beef and rice and he nodded and the RELIEF

I think my glee obsession is returning in full force

#this is a nice feeling #i didnt have gleecast anywhere on my Spotify wrapped last year for the first time in... years!!! #but here i am listening to all the songs on repeat most of today #and reading glee fic #and looking at my currently abandoned fics #and having Thoughts™️ and headcanons and just... #special interest obsession shit #its calming and happy and sksgxkdk #also my reading brain is back which is SUCH a relief! #its been like 3 months of only being able to read a book in audiobook form #like my sister write this whol prophecy for our dnd campaign and i could not for the life of me understand it not matter how hard i tried #but last session i finally clicked #and im READING A PHYSICAL BOOK TOOOOOOOO #i just feel more settled because of it its nice #i think i really didnt like the weird weather the uk was having- it being HOT AS BALLS and then freezing like the next week #and then christmas and stress over bemefits happened #but now yhats mostly set... i think.. ish... its still confusing and scary #but ay least i have words i can read to escape it #katy liveblogs life #i am using tumblr like a diary rn ignore me 😂

So, if you don’t follow my modblog, I was forced off a med bc my doc wouldn’t renew it unless I came in to pay $300 for a 5min talk and the withdrawals are worse than anticipated. Kinda have random major panic attacks, like owie in the chest my heart is beating so fast kinda ones, and nearly blacking out in the middle of a store, so I’ve been mostly lying down.

I got a commission to do, then I may do a nice reblog/flashback week so I can find a new doc and relax. Nearly a full year of posting new content everyday? I think I need a wee break. I deserve a lil lie down. A nap week if you will.

#it's birth control btw not like a major med technically #and mental health wise it has helped to be off the dang thing tbh #but going from completely fine to having my heart go apeshit in a thrift store is aggravating to say the least #and I rationalize everything so I get aggro when it happens bc it's like WHY TF ARE YOU FREAKING OUT RN #I GOT THINGS TO DO MAN I WANNA PUT UP XMAS LIGHTS IMMA THROW HANDS #though the Ollie stress relief gummies have been a godsend ngl #but I'm trying to not take them every day bc it says not to //WHEEZE

Doin bad again folx

#might delete later I’m just wide awake and miserable #summer bill came out today and it’s $7100 not including housing which will be $2400 #literally dunno how im gonna pay for that and my dad is. adding to the emotional turmoil of it all #not able to get a loan at least not before the bill is due #able to get aid luckily but again who knows when or how much #my bday is tomorrow and for months I’ve been like please just let my bday be a good day i need one #i need some hope. not that I haven’t had good experiences lately bc I have. but nothing that lasts #nothing i get to feel good about for more than a day before a new problem drops #I need to enjoy my birthday without feeling this deep dark dread and fear and fucking guilt and hopelessness #I have fun plans for today And tomorrow and I’m grateful but honestly stressed about that too #bc it’s gonna be a lot + bc of all I need to do outside of that #+ I don’t get to spend my bday w friends the way I want like I have one friend Maybe coming w me #my bday is supposed to feel celebratory and instead it feels like absolutely forcing some illusion of choice or joy in my life #on top of it all. the most peaceful I usually ever feel is in bed w my partner and now my body won’t even let me hold or be held by them #currently laying next to them not touching them so I at least don’t keep them up w how physically miserable I am rn #I’m literally always physically miserable at this point and it feels like spring is never gonna come and provide any relief #but it’s like can I at least be cozy w them. nope instead I’m wide awake facing various horrors #despite being permanently exhausted and falling asleep in class after 40 ounces of coffee #Im just. so fucking unhappy in life rn dude I don’t want life to be like this forever with the constant threat of it getting much worse #fucking shred of joy in this godforsaken world: the sleep noises they r making rn #mine #txt #vent post #suicidal ideation tw #<- cry for help

it is kinda funny when ppl try to comfort me and they're like "well think about [thing i did]. did it not make you feel good? :)" and I'm like no. i mean maybe for approximately 5 seconds and then i went back to wanting to die. and i can't exactly live off of 5 seconds of happiness per year yknow

#that's why this completing task thing is so weird to me. like either i never complete any task or my dopamine receptors are broken fr #bc no i don't feel good?? never?? at most i feel 3 seconds of relief abt being done with smth and then it's back to stressing abt everythin #man i wish i wasn't a coward so i could at least take drugs abt it idk 😭 #negative // #ask to tag #as you can see . i. am not doing the best today ajslfllh holidays really make me feel awful.

sorry if I don’t remember your name or conversations/experiences or basic things about myself, every few weeks my brain gets factory reset and I have to relearn how to be alive

#lighthearted but also serious bc what is going on here buddy #been feeling weird as hell these past few months #like I can remember some stuff… but it doesn’t feel normal to forget the names of anyone I haven’t seen/heard the name of in a few days #or forget about basic interests and personality traits and experiences and feel like a blank slate every day #idk like ultimately life goes on and I’m happy to live in the moment but it would be nice to understand why my brain is doing this #just thinking #meposting #I think my brain just. does this sometimes when I’m stressed. which is annoying #I recall (lmao) feeling similar during earlier parts of life so this isn’t *new* it’s just unexpected and much more disruptive as an adult #I’m feeling better about it than I was. after like. acknowledging it. bc my mind has not always felt like a sieve it isn’t always this bad. #whatever #I’ll tag as dissociation just in case it’s related/reminiscent and ppl don’t want to see that #dissociation #me and her go way back… haven’t seen each other in years though #she wasnt all bad! coping mechanisms can provide relief and a sense of safety #and as far as coping mechanisms go it’s not the most unhealthy. though it ranks high in ‘socially stunting’ #I kind of miss the distance sometimes to be honest everything’s just So Much all the time #I’m so solid now #so stuck in the ruts of capitalism #fuck capitalism #I wish my imagination didn’t feel so dulled #sorry I love talking #and I don’t miss dissociation when I feel mentally present because I feel so Here with the people and things I love but rn? #it’s like a lose-lose bc I am not Here nor am I untethered. I’m heavy yet hold nothing #I enjoy being dramatic/poetic about it — I feel pretty fine. I just hope this isn’t a permanent and/or long-term state of existence. #like it makes me awful at my job I went from remembering a solid amount of the student body’s names (built up over a few years) to. like 5. #overnight it felt like. like Stressful Thing happened and I went to work and I couldn’t remember anyone’s names. #can’t believe I have to start from fucking scratch AGAIN I’d be better off quitting and working at a different school #bc at least then my lack of knowledge/remembering is justified rather than strange and seemingly rude #I’m getting better now but at the beginning of this it was blue screen in my brain all the time

I’ve spent the past three days listening to Dream Sweet in Sea Major on loop

#At least whenever I’ve taken a break from ravenously absorbing Malevolent #(Which I finished today; making that 8 days) #Check It Out by Oh The Larceny is a crutch rn I just have to get through every trial and I’ll be normal again I promise #Similarly I’ve gone full relapse and Kill The Lights does WONDERS for stress relief #Now sad? #I’m not typically one for quieter song but ough Strawberry Blonde recently #I’m usually much more of a Famous Last Words #And now Blindness by Metric (thanks Peppermint)

didn't get cast in ensemble. they did cast a girl at callbacks I literally taught the harmony to though. fucked up

#spent a year thinking about the audition #have actively waited for an opportunity to audition for at least seven years #show on my radar for at least 14 #love to be good enough at the audition that they call you back and then have them be like #actually never mind we don't want your voice even with the other voices. #we have no place for your body on stage with the other bodies #this is what I was afraid of. this is why as soon as it was announced like two years ago this might be produced I was as #stressed as I was excited. #it's not about ego or rejection it's just about getting to do a dream there aren't many chances to fulfill. I just get fixations you know? #rehearsals start tonight without me! #only thing helping me hold onto my sanity is an inside source telling me that the director is horrible #it's hard for grapes to be sour enough for me to not to hurt bad bad bad #but it takes away a little bit of the grief #as does the fact that a friend has the kindness to try and comfort me like that #mensch behavior #I have othr things to look forward to this was just high stakes you know #not a lot of chances. dependent on others to provide chances. autistic hyperfixation on little scraps of the score #most passionate out of anyone who auditioned for sure #and I'm not even bad #I fucked up at callbacks a little but I was hoping they wouldn't be insane about it #but holding my breath until I could get the relief of knowing I was in #which would also have been incredible news in other ways too––being in any show has been a long-term goal and I would be like okay I've hit #that milestoone and should actually invest in a headshot #but I guess not!!!!!! #going to try and not be angry at myself though #I'm good and will throw myself into my work #which I have much to do of and talent to apply to

4max deserves a mermaid and fisherman or scientist au

Forevers the fisherman/scientist max is the mermaid

aw that would be so cute! i’m not as into 4max as i am philever but i’ve been warming up to it! i honestly just love mermaids and mermaid aus in general also they’re so great. i don’t have any specific ideas for this but i’d love to hear more about it! trumpet would be maxs little baby guppy obviously but i wonder what sofia would be? obviously computers wouldn’t work underwater, so maybe she could be some kind of magical spirit or construct

#asks #fun fact i consider myself incredibly fish coded #in minecraft at least #my name is literally clam #and i adore fishing and guardians and building underwater with conduits #for stress relief and also for food i go to the nearest body of water and just punch all the fish #so ocean creatures and magic and stuff if very much up my alley #qsmp #qsmp au #mermaid au #4max #qsmp maxo #qsmp maximus #qsmp foreverplayer #qsmp forever #qsmp sofia #qsmp trump #qsmp trumpet #posts from the ocean #ocean archive

I just talked with my grandma who has been at my great aunts hospital bedside for days and they got some shockingly optimistic news about possible treatments today but my great aunt was upset about being told she could very well live because she is enjoying the attention from everyone being scared about how long she has left and my grandma is trying to impart on her that possibly beating the cancer is good news which feels like the most obvious thing to have to tell someone 🙄

#honestly I’m just feeling so relieved right now #my grandma had been having some health issues before my great aunt got the leukemia diagnosis a few days ago anyway and then she rushed down #to be there for her sister and of course I’m worried about my great aunt but she is the type of person to cut her own hand off if it would #get her sympathy so to speak and my grandma had been so scared and feeling like she had to be the strong one #and just now she sounded more optimistic than she has since before all of this because my great aunt was #finally stabilized enough to be transferred to a much better hospital where she’s getting better care #and they’re talking about possible full cures and it just feels like such a relief that at least for right now they’re both okay and my #grandma is feeling positive and happy #i was feeling so stressed about all this today and it’s gotten a lot better after that call

Food Headcanons i think are funny

yamada stress cooks because he can throw ingredients in a pot and chop vegetables and add spices like confetti and somehow it turns out amazing as long as he doesn’t burn anything

aizawa stress bakes because it has to have pretty exact measurements and he likes measuring things out exactly and usually you get something sweet in the end

their kitchen is a disaster 97% of the time because they both have a lotta stress

good thing shinsou likes to clean when he can’t sleep because it’s methodical and calming and usually tires him out enough to drop off

eri just likes to help whichever parent is currently freaking out in the kitchen because sometimes she gets to lick the spoon or help stir

aizawa delivers large quantities of food and treats to the 1-a dorms so often it’s almost concerning

it was a surprise when he told them it was homemade because they’ve never seen him eat anything other than jelly packs and protein bars but his students are very thankful once they actually try it

it’s heckin delicious

and not all of them know how to cook non-poisonous, healthy, filling meals without burning down the kitchen

one week yamada had a jam packed schedule (when does he not?) but after a very stressful week with very little sleep he got into a major villain encounter out on patrol and then limped into the radio station where the producer was in the middle of a screaming match with a representative of the hero commission over last weeks content

he walked right back out and made some bread.

well actually a lot of bread.

there’s so much bread in their apartment.

the next morning he shows up with like 9 loaves of fresh bread and begs 1-a to take them off his hands

he has 27 more in their apartment that he plans to pawn off of his other classes and fellow teachers

at least the house smelled great

#mha #bnha #my hero academia #erasermic #yamada hizashi #aizawa shouta #the chaos class of 1 a #my boy shinsou #eri is a sweetheart #the yamazawa household is a mess :) #food is an expression of love #sharing food with someone you consider family is an expression of the purest love #and at this point erasermic has adopted so many children (if not legally then emotionally) #they love their students #and if their classes are going to cause them inordinate amounts of stress then the least they can do is give them the darn food and hope #it keeps them occupied and out of trouble for at least an hour #food is love #and a great stress relief #bread my beloved
