#wizards of waverly place posting on main again #connor pulled a jerry and renounced his magic to marry a mortal #were you thinking ​kendall as justin and shiv as alex?? NO shiv as justin kendall as alex #the movie exchange on the floating rocks confirms this to me #roman gets max ig LMAO #roman is a fusion of stevie and max actually #he wants all of them to be able to keep their magic #logan gave up his magic initially to marry connors mom who was mortal but it didn’t work out #which adds to why he doesn’t acknowledge connor it’s a reminder of what he views as a mistake #ewan is uncle kelbo #greg is an only child so he gets to be a full wizard by default #why do i actually need this to be fleshed out #succession #roy siblings

speaking of fucked up overly hated female twdg characters i find it Super Interesting how people will say carver was the best villain in the whole series, but when lilly is literally just a successful carver (iron fist leader of a community turning children into soldiers) suddenly shes a bad/lame villain for some reason 🤔

#twdg #hmm im sure this has nothing to do with the fact shes a woman (a woman that a lot of people hated since S1) #AND they gave her a giant boat? thats funny #LIKE if they did originally plan to have kenny be carver in S2 she is LITERALLY JUST THAT IDEA but the woman version of it #also i find it interesting that her speech about larry and the lights is reminiscent of that first convo between shane and rick in the show #i happened to like S1 lilly for the most part and felt her evolution in S4 made perfect sense #she hated being questioned. wanted total authority. ex military and so used to dealing with military types. family/loyalty important to her #which is why her and clem meeting again and clashing heads is so narratively interesting #is this person your family? can you bring them to your side? are they even the same person? when do you let go? #so many themes in S4 mmm yummy #a theme vi/minnie share too #and mitch brings up the sentiment while burning ms martin #but yeah im in the 'lilly was actually the best villain in the whole series' camp i wonder whos in here with me. is it quiet in here #it wouldve been nice to see more of the delta... unfortunately if things needed to be cut its understandable why it was #you dont NEED to know more about the delta than whats been told #but i would like to 😔 #like could we have been given more fleshing out of her character? sure. do we actually NEED it? no #it speaks

incredible. now let’s see him chained up as he’s forced to confront the worst parts of himself ?

#bleeding out profusely too ! #guy who turns you into a jigsaw sympathiser nd understander #like i do get it. i too .. #adams a better guy than me cause the way id be gnawing through flesh nd bone. well #id be across that bathroom like a shot #the ​puppydog eyes after admitting to his lawyerfriend that hes a cheater. take him out back already horrible man i need him in a way that #would have the priest in the confessional putting me down like a sick dog #why is he sooo prett y it makes me a little sick inthe head #i might also have some sort of actual fever right now if that helps w anything #lawrence gordon #💽

Reading some of the critiques of pjotv and now I know why y’all are on tumblr and not in the writer’s room 💀💀

#ive said this before but i have to say it again because some of you guys … #calling the BLACK SAILS writers bad 😭😭 do you hear yourselves #all opinions are valid but some are stupid!!! #(i kid but also i think y’all have just aged out of pjo and are expecting something that even the og series was not delivering) #like the source material is middle grade! which is 8-12 year olds #literally the oldest of the target audience is a seventh grader lol #like i was literally six when we got assigned tlt in school #it’s a kids book and a kids show and y’all really got to start treating it like that #otherwise you’re only going to be severely disappointed #(and wrongly so because you’re expectations are skewed from years of fandom) #anyway i think the show is doing a great job of filling in plot holes and fleshing out characters and unraveling plot threads #it’s disappointing that y’all can’t see that because you want a scene by scene copy paste of the books #like some of y’all need a lesson in thematic cohesion and building a multi-season show with a specific overarching theme and message lol #because that’s something the og book series was missing #rick struggled to tie all of his ideas and messages into a cohesive goal so it felt messy at times #i actually have so many thoughts about how the show is doing a lot better than the books #the books would undermine their own goals sometimes because of the focus on action #while the show is reallying building up the characters and exploring the dynamics before the action kicks off #because why would you be invested in any type of action sequence if you don’t care about the characters? #percy jackson #annabeth chase #grover underwood #sally jackson #gabe ugliano #poseidon #percy jackson and the olympians #pjotv

[steelycunt]

ridi im sorry i need to rant and i think youll get it 😭 like not to be a bitch but this fandom kinda going off the rails and annoying the shit out of me https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRbYASpf/ everybody in the comments unironically loving it,,, i mean wtvr ship who you want but its kinda getting delusional like ppl are just operating on thin air and pretty fancasts atp and i do Not understand or emotionally connect with any of it. at least w wolfstar theres so much material and foundation to explore but what is all the rest of this?? just hot celebrity fancasts and crack. to be fair part of me respects taking a terfs canon material and making everybody gay but the way it seems to be so oversaturating fics and the fandom that characters dont even feel like their original selves .. atp its all just surface level OCs

hello! yes! i'll be honest talking about things like this always make me a little nervous, and i feel obligated to preface anything i say with a disclaimer that none of it really matters, nothing i say matters, and you should do what you like, because--who cares. i am not an authority on--anything, frankly. my opinion holds no more weight than the next guy's, and all i'm doing here is giving it, so. essentially what im saying is--people are perfectly entitled to disagree with me, but people are not entitled to be mean to me about it xx

having said that. it is my personal opinion that s x barty is one of the worst fucking things i have ever heard lol. who even is barty who is that guy. why would s be interested in him at all. i do not understand it it does not make sense to me. from where are we sourcing the character traits and personality that we are giving barty that would ever endear sirius to him, because it objectively cannot be canon.

overall i do not get the new interest in barty + evan + pandora (+ regulus, but we won't go there)...at all, other than guessing that people were bored with the marauders and wanted a new version of them (and new celebrities to fancast) while simultaneously changing next to nothing about them other than superimposing them onto the first slytherin side characters they could rustle up. i expect ive become a bit of a broken record in regards to my dislike of the popular meow-meow-ification + complete absolution of regulus as a character in order to make him a loveable oc (just as i think erasing all the negative traits that r/s have in order to make them more likeable is just as boring), and all of that applies to those other guys as well (with the slight difference that they are, somehow, even less interesting and significant than regulus in canon), so i won't get into that too much. but i think what you say about having no emotional connection to any of it is exactly right lol--it is a sort of shift? i guess? in the fandom that is simply of no interest to me. they are characters that i just have no emotional investment in and admittedly struggle a little to understand why other people do. i am emotionally invested in, like, five characters overall (and even out of those--there's only two i'm really here for innit xx) and i personally cannot extend that investment to a creepy little side character who is mentioned maybe twice in the entire series.

and that is okay! i do not need to understand it. i don't want to say it annoys me because honestly--i don't go there, its nothing to do with me. if i dont like it i just wont interact with it, and the fact that it doesn't interest me has no bearing on what other people are into or want to do, and i couldn't give less of a shit what people do with the canon material, which is largely garbage anyway. take the bits you want from it, play around with those and ignore the rest. in that respect we are all doing exactly the same thing. but yeah i think s x barty is genuinely awful lol. hate it. very terrible. he's already got a loser werewolf boyfriend and he loves him so so much. leave him alone.

#i know most people are reasonable and thus it is perhaps overly cautious of me to insist on shrouding my unpopular #opinions in like. layer upon layer of placatory disclaimers but. well im a rather anxious guy i can't help it xx but im going to use these #tags to have a bit more of a consequence-less hater hour so. if you like regulus or barty or any of that lot i suggest you look away now #because i am about to express opinions about them that you probably wouldnt agree with + wouldnt enjoy reading!! #like full warning what im about to do is NOT any sort of analysis or defence of my opinion i will just be hating on them. is that clear. #okay. having said that. hater hour. barty and evan and honestly regulus were all cunts? like they were terrible people why do we care #about them now. regulus interests me solely as a piece of context for sirius' character. i could not give less of a shit about him as a #person in his own right. which leads me to my next hater moment: why oh why oh WHY on earth would canon james potter be interested #in canon regulus black. it makes sense in like a muggle au where they are virtually completely different characters but canon? #why would he be attracted to him. there is nothing. there is no chemistry i am ASLEEP and so is james. he would not give that #guy a second look. like it just baffles me it truly does. i feel like you have to bend over backwards to create a situation in which #james potter would ever show an interest in regulus. and i know jegulus is a fucking force to be reckoned with nowadays but god i just #do not like that ship. also i think the fact that barty and pandora and evan are essentially just oc characters who have been coloured #in by general fanon consensus shows in that what they have become is just. not interesting or complex or well fleshed out lol. like #idk i feel like they are just. very shallow. deliberately. so they are easy to like and easy to ship because that is what theyre there for. #god it feels so good to say all this. i will never be a hater again (<- lying) but i needed to be able to just. say this just once xx #also if you needed any more indication what barty and evan and regulus are here to do you just have to look at their #super-hot super-conventionally attractive celebrity model fancasts. like it all adds up its like but what if these death eaters were #not actually evil :-( what if they were really sweet and also? so so hot. like they were all so hot and actually really good #and none of them meant to be evil they didnt want to be :-( they were just hot good guys all in love with each other and the evil stuff #they did wasnt their fault :-( like that has to be. the most boring thing you couldve possibly done with these blank slates. surely. #anyway. im done now but i enjoyed hater hour immensely this was so fucking good for my soul xx thanks and goodnight xx #anon #telegram #scream hang on sorry. just looked at the comments of that tiktok where people are saying they were prison besties. girl. girl. #girl they were in prison for very different reasons baby. baby you know that right. baby look at me. look at me

BG3 OCs

Meet my various Tavs and Durges! Aune, the first on this list, is my very first Tav. I fell in love with her SO hard that there are two other AU/world-state/timeline versions of her — both durges; one Resist and one Embrace. This trio is the nearest and dearest to me and it shows through their very elaborate backstories & lore. I hope you enjoy learning a bit about them & the rest of the OCs!

(Alt. text available for all images, except for the dividers/spacers. Includes transcript of the text on the images, plus descriptive text.)

AUNE, the Sword-Dancer (tag | she/her | agender | half-drow | love interest: imyrr (dead), astarion | playthrough: completed)

bio: Aune was brought into the world via a ritual birth; one of great tragedy and bloodshed. When her Lolth-sworn mother found her newborn child lacking, Aune was abandoned on the streets of Menzoberranzan and was raised as a slave. She escaped to the surface in her young adulthood, possible only through the help of Eilistraee’s followers. Her life improved a hundredfold within the Church, but she still felt out of place — too abrasive, too cold, too self-serving. Things changed for the better after Aune fell in love with a fellow Eilistraeean warrior who challenged her worldview, but after just a year of bliss, she lost her lover to a violent death. Racked with grief and more lost than ever, Aune was in the midst of a 5-year long crisis of calling before being kidnapped by mind flayers…

AUNE, the Lady Carrion (tag | she/her | agender | half-drow | love interest: gortash gale astarion | playthrough: in progress, act 2)

bio: Though born through the same means as tav!Aune, Bhaal had a different fate in mind for Aune. At 15, durge!Aune kills her slave-master — freeing herself and unwittingly summoning her faithful butler, Scleritas. After years of living amongst Myconids in the Underdark, Scleritas finally convinces Aune to surface in Baldur's Gate and claim her birthright. Years later, she finds herself on a ravaged beach with very little memories — only a kinship with mushrooms, soil, and bones; a reverence for the boundary between life, death, and rebirth; and a restless craving for spilling blood.

AUN XORLARRIN, the Bloodsinger (tag | she/her | half-drow living as a drow | love interest: gortash, ascended!astarion | playthrough: not started)

bio: Aun was the fateful ritual child born to a zealous priestess of a Menzoberranzan House. She was the culmination of everything her mother had worked towards; a child with power and a destiny, one to be shaped and molded into a tool to serve her own ambitions. The secret of Aun's lineage — that she was a half-Drow — was carefully guarded, known only to a few. Aun was raised in the way of Lolthite women (to be cruel, cunning, and ruthless), but her blood ultimately called to a different deity. On her 17th birthday, Aun awakens. She heeded the song that keened in her blood; it drew her ever southward to Baldur's Gate, sometimes in the company of a strange imp. Within just a few days of being on the surface, she meets a young man with dark, tired eyes and a pained smile; neither with any awareness of just how tightly woven their fates will become when they meet again years later, Chosen before Chosen.

LETHE, the Feylost (tag | they/he/she | genderfluid | tiefling | love interest: gale | playthrough: in progress, act 1)

bio: Somewhere in Faerûn, a wee tiefling is relinquished to the Fey. They grow up lonely and isolated in the Feywild under the care of an Archfey guardian whose attentions are few and far between. Despite living a lifetime in a Plane so replete with magic, the tiefling had no skill for wielding it. One day, they are told by their guardian that they must return to Faerûn, a place they are unlikely to survive due to their many inadequacies. When the Archfey offers them a pact - powerful fey magic that they could use to fight and protect; fey magic that could make others love them - the tiefling accepts. Lethe was strange, unsettling, and tricksy, as all fey-adjacent should be. Still, they spent their first year in Faerûn carving out a space for themselves — making a living performing in taverns, seducing strangers, and charming people before cleaning out their pockets. It was all going just fine until Lethe got yoinked up onto some nautiloid.

VIR, the Exiled Elturan (tag | he/him | tiefling | love interest: lae'zel | playthrough: in progress, act 1)

bio: Vir was born into an Elturan family of proud Hellriders and was expected to take up the mantle - especially by his mother, who had always desired to do so but could not because of her poor health. By the time Vir is old enough to form memories, all that is left of the family is his mother and himself. The pair are of humble means, and as Vir ages, his mother grows sicker, and he becomes more disenchanted, eventually resorting to thievery to support the two of them - even as he simultaneously trains to join the Hellriders. Inevitably, he is caught, and against all odds, escapes his severe punishment by fleeing the city; effectively now an exile. In his exile, Vir makes a life of bounty-hunting while also becoming accustomed to the ways of the land and its creatures. He has a skill for it, and is mostly content with his new life; but he can't keep out the resentment he feels towards his mother, his city, and its protectors, who he feels utterly failed him. Or the guilt he feels for abandoning his mother - especially once Elturel is dragged into the Hells. He wrestles with the risk of reentering the city once it returns, but his decision-making is rudely interrupted by some illithids.

#EDIT: hellsite flagged this post so it's not visible on the dash or tags 🙃 #if you read even part of this ily #I swear I tried to keep the bios SO SO brief like. I was fighting out in these streets okay. constantly reediting and cutting bits out #so if anything sounds weird or like there's crucial information missing WELL that's why #I've been fussing with this post for over a month now 💀 and I could keep going but I just need to put it out there so I can move on #and actually have an OC page/post/section again lmao #in the future I might add more characters to this post. because there are more lol 🥲 but they're not as fleshed out as the ones above so #it'll be quite a long while until then #might do like a super brief post for the WIP OCs ?? we'll see! #oc: aune #oc: durge!aune #oc: embrace!aun #oc: lethe #oc: vir #durge #tav #bg3

i am afeared that aerith and clouds play-up in the trailer was a psych-out and that her and zack will be together post her death, or whatever happens instead. do not want this to be true. but i am scared

There is no part of me that believes this will happen.

#clerith were written as a love story a decade before zerith were fleshed out #their love story is a huge part of ff7 which is why her death was so tragic and shocking in part #the love that could never be #every single piece of subsequent media has the theme of cloud wishing to find her again one day #the song lyrics to nptk suggest that will happen! so fated to they don’t need to promise to meet again #trust me when i say a side character isn’t getting a main theme song over the actual main character of the game #the song is about cloud and aerith and the fact they will be together again #aerith has moved on from Zack she says it mutiple times in the game #expresses her interest in cloud and getting to know the real him before anyone else can see through his persona #in the compilation books she says it’s cloud she loves now #do not fear #ask #anonymous

[saraptor]

Got tagged by @mxanigel to do this picrew with my BG3 OCs!! Which I'm using as a perfect excuse to officiate some of the designs for my characters! Ik this was supposed to be a short thing but i got carried away xD

Not tagging anyone atm but if you want to do it have fun!! And tag me if you'd like, I love seeing ppl's OCs.

Try the picrew here!

(Luatha, Aludosa, and Lucean)

Luatha: The Dark Urge, they/them, unaffiliated drow. They're either a druid or a sorcerer depending on my playthrough (or subclasses into one or the other). Childhood friends with Aludosa. Luatha's a bit of a try hard. They were very good at what they did, and that little child in them that used to play in the streets with Aludosa suffers for it.

Aludosa: He/Him, half-drow. An outlander with a mysterious past. His mother was a Lolth-sworn drow and his father was a cleric of Ilmater (can i make it anymore obvious). He was separated from Luatha after an accident, though he believed for years that Luatha had abandoned him to persue their inheritance. Also a bit of a try hard.

Lucean, or Lucy: She/Her. A patriar in Baldur's Gate, as well as an inventor and lover of fine things. She has never managed to keep a single assistant longer than twenty-four hours. This isn't because of her personality—quite the contrary, she's an affable and cheery person. It has more to do with the fact each and every one of her experiments have a high possibility of going skyward. Violently. Not a single one of them have yet, but after one day with her, each assistant leaves with the harrowing tale: It's only a matter of time. Smilingly, Lucy assures you, "Everything is under control." In addition to being a powerful wizard, Lucy is also an influential member of Baldur's Gate's high society. This means, she has frequent run-ins with some of the underground, to which she can only say that one or two "nameless ones" down there are causing her a splitting headache.

Maren, Helvelis, and Rospira:

Maren: She/Her, human. She's a rogue with a fondness for illegal activities. She heads a small but incredibly successful criminal enterprise in Baldur's Gate that has done a very good job of not making a name for itself—and she's rather proud of herself for achievement. She can throw a mean scroll, down a hard drink, and wrap people around her finger while she's at it. Maren's whole life has been like this. She's good and she knows she is. This kind of confidence doesn't take well to being shaken.

Rospira: She/Her, tiefling. Think of the moment a cat pounces upon a sparrow, or the second after a viper strikes—the gleam in focused eyes, and apathetic instinct directly after. See this in Rospira'a eyes as she dispatches her foes with ruthless efficiency, and rejoice in the fact her passion for song and dance outweighed her talent for bloodshed. She is a rose, her teeth the thorns, but she only bites when asked. Both her parents are awaiting her in Baldur's Gate—with an earful over the amount of worry she's put them through, too.

Helvelis: He/Him, elf (type undecided). He was a courtesan turned wealthy (fourth) husband of a minor, formerly alive (don't ask questions), lord in Baldur's Gate. Dragonblooded, but studied magic so he considers himself more of a wizard. He's a necromancer first, entertainer second, though he'll claim to be a simple scholar. With two children waiting in Baldur's Gate, his personal goal is simple: get home. And also figure out what the hells' going on with the "Blade of Frontiers." He tried to usurp his fromer husband's wealth and was almost assassinated by the other three wives when the Nautiloid captured him. He was orphaned at a young age.

(Pictures of each character in-game under the cut!)

(In order from left to right, top to bottom: Luatha, Aludosa, Lucean, Maren, Rospira, and Helvelis.)

literally don't listen to the oh hellos valley album if thinking about sam winchester makes u feel anything because those songs are so fucking samcoded it'll tear ur heart out

#listening to second child restless child like 😐😶 #IN MEMORIAM BUT INSTEAD OF A SON RETURNING TO A FATHER. #it's well. you know. #I actually related some of them to cas but those two are like 🤞 #WISHING WELL??? OUGHHHH #i made mistakes do i even need to delve #that entire album can go into a Sam playlist unedited #if u can't tell I'm currently crying listening to this album ATM #i don't talk about sam enough but if i cared about him less i could talk about him more #but srsly the thing about sam and cas is that they do both want salvation. some forgiveness. #assurance that they're not some broken evil thing meant for nothing more than proving time and time again that that's all they'll ever be #and that assurance hinges on dean wayyyyy too much but that's another conversation #monstrous. other. that's THEM and they ache with want to repent but. how can u repent unless u change? #so sam attempts to mold himself into a normal shape stuff his self into a cardboard cutout of what he THINKS is correct #and we know cas is like is a drawing is done and then someone hit the erase all button over and over #but once he escapes the lobotomies he is still trying to be something else to some extent. he couldn't be a good angel #so he tries to be a good human but he can't even achieve that much so he's left looking in from the outside and #tells himself it's not that cold out anyway that this suits him better #does dean know why cas lingers at the doorway. does he know that sam is scraping at his walls fit to burst. #anyway the whole world would benefit from a more fleshed out sastiel relationship regardless of what kind #im in my feelings rn sorry for spn posting do u still think im hot :/ #cee's bullshit

...That...sure was a reveal wasn’t it.

#Idk I feel like this example of 'mental illness plaguing my mind so it inspires me to hurt others because I see life as inherent suffering' #was done a lot better and a lot less overtly ableist than most examples #kind of like...it wasn't saying that having The Brain Disease is inherently Evil™ but more...lending context to the character's worldview? #I think it helps that as soon as he realizes that he's not changing anything and that there's a flaw in his logic he gets better #like he backtracks and apologizes and tries to help people in earnest #but I'm also just kind of...Idk do we really NEED another story where a mentally ill person is harming people because of their illness? #is that in and of itself an ableist trope?? I don't know!!! I am conflicted in this Chili's tonight!!!!! and by Chili's I mean my room with #a giant tub of ice cream I had delivered to me!!!!!!!!! #mc13 watches anime #but then again I don't consider my icon aka best character of all time to be an ableist stereotype for the reason of 'mental illness is not #why she's bad. she's bad because she chooses to be' and 'it makes her sympathetic and isn't some 'Inherent Reason Why She's Evil' #so obviously it can be done. and I think it's counterproductive to say that we can never write villains with mental illness at all #I also think. in this case. it's important to note that EVERYONE is a pretty bad person and none of the OTHER bad people are called 'crazy' #or referenced as being mentally ill in any way. it's literally this one person and he's the most fleshed out out of all of them? #so it's like. is my discomfort because I'm tired of seeing mentally ill Bad People in fiction due to Personal Issues or is this particular #instance an actual example of the 'demonization' problem #MANY THOUGHTS HEAD FULL (distressed) #the real horror was the ableism we found along the way

VERY tell no show and it really doesnt matter and otherwise idk #nothing wrong with a static character but imo with a static character you then have to show more of them #reveal some things. also doesnt really happen. the main speaking cast are also kinda weak in relation to link #they dont really work off of him very well bc hes… not treated like a character. hes just some virtuous everyman in the story #so theres no actual chemistry between him or the other characters bc he isnt treated a character so like. he has almost no chemistry #its all mostly one sided and none of the sages but zelda have any real chemistry with other major characters either #and the major characters zelda has chemistry with barely matter so fuck it. like when ppl talk abt like. loz stories #and ppl talk abt how yeah they arent the best but totk is rlly bad. i dont feel like any other loz stories are baaaaad #not in the same way. but they dont feel as egregiously fumbled. imo its bc of the characters most of them time #ofc story can be strong enough and im not discounting stuff like mm and oots themes and atmosphere and stuff #it seeeems to me the most popular non zelda sage is tulin? but mostly bc hes a sweet kid and thats fine and all but there doesnt seem to #be much else to him hes otherwise kinda unremarkable bc he just doesnt do much else and seems to exists mostly to serve gameplay and plot #botw did it better bc the champions actively had a dynamic and a relationship with link they arent the deepest but they have more substance #botw zelda is arguably the strongest character in botw with a unique personality and genuine relationship to link even if we just see it #in the memories and seeing her warm up to link is cool but imp they fumble it in the ending of her arc and how it kinda contradicts stuff #and in totk they doubled the fuck down on her unlocking her powers for reasons related to link and decided ig shed figure she needs to be #links forever bestie and hypeman and she kinda just revolves around him in a really superficial way and this is the negative extreme #of a character being bolstered by being connected to link. but anyways in loz its the characters that tend to be the strongest points #and the characters with a clear dynamic and relationship to link shine the most. think groose ghirahim ravio midna fi marin linebeck sheik #the list could go on but the characters who get a chance to shine by interacting with the Player Character are the ones who stick out #and ofc they get more screen time but they cant avoid that character development or general character fleshing out bc they are in some way #tied to link and in a sort of way link himself is more fleshed out through how those other characters react to him if that makes sense #i think loz is at its best when a good bit of emphasis and effort is placed on characters and character relationships #and when thise relationships and character are written well ofc this fucking matters too #anyways thats why ph is one of the best we love our character heavy black sheep them ds characters carry so hard and so fucking well mwah

uh oh! worlds stupidest little guy used the wrong lotion and now everything smells like my childhood bathroom and the year is 2016 and its february which means its almost valentines day which is perhaps the most accursed date on the calendar and the year is 2016 and your least favorite little guy is in full blown survival panic mode!

#fuuuuuuuuck #head in hands #i fucking . have had perhaps the worst week ive had in years . including all my time in indy last year #i have not had a single win since . idk. last saturday maybe ? #uhhhhh i dont like springtime its the most painfully nostalgic time of year #and idk why i even have this lotion but everything is dry and itchy so i was like hey im gonna treat myself to some basic self care #and now my apartment smells like my second suicide attempt and everything is horrible actually . into the garbage with you. #im going to stick my legs into the fireplace and hopefully the smell of burning flesh will drown it out!!!!! #that is. not serious. im just like. fuck #i was supposed to go home tommorrow but yet another tragedy has struck because the universe fucking hates me #so now i domt know whether i want to or not #like. is it better to grieve alone in my apartment where i (usually) feel safe #or should i go home and be surrounded by grieving family which is. a whole other process i dont know if i want to deal with #pros. i get to see loki and i am extremely pet deprived . cons. my parents are going to ask me questions about my life #and also i have to sleep in my childhood bedroom a week away from my most mentally ill day of the damn year #ugm. um. yeah #i need to cry but i havent been able to cry in a really long time and i know it would be cathartic #but also its already 1030 pm and i cant spend two more hours having a sobbing fest because i have work in the morning #and i dont know how to make myself cry without doing things that would be even more damaging to my mental state #so instead i will stare at a wall and hope the smell goes away and try to fall asleep. i fucking guess #uhhhhhhhhhhhhhg #im holding it together by a fucking thread and boy is it fraying
