i fucking hate the “this is the good luck post.” Girl stop contributing to a superstitious environment with ur anecdotes there’s a million goddamn notes on it it’s statistically reasonable that a bunch of people remember the good things that happen after they reblog it

I'm listening to Harrow the Ninth (after reading it the first go around) and I ADORE Harrow's extreme dedication to collecting information. Her whole 'cataloging information on the lyctors' section goes like this: "Jod said things to you, ending with, 'Maybe don't mention that to Mercy or Augustine' When you mentioned it to Mercy, she got a very interesting amount of angry, and when you mentioned it to Augustine he said a bunch of things you later took down word for word in your secret code journal" It's like she's the protagonist of a JRPG, dead set on experiencing every line of dialogue in the game.

harrow the ninth really said

Unreliable narrator: has been regularly hallucinating since childhood

Unreliable narrator +1: diy lobotomy

Unreliable narrator +2: haunted

Unreliable narrator +3: has not slept in six days

Unreliable narrator +4: actually being narrated by her semi-conscious beloved’s soul that was absorbed and is currently being eaten by her own (unrelated to the haunting) 👍

upset and don’t know why? Appease the Brains

lizard brain

questions: do i have food, water, and safe shelter? 

solutions: drink more water. drink things with electrolytes. make and stick to a food schedule that works for you. clean your room. if you are in an unsafe situation, talk to someone trusted about creating a plan to get out 

toddler brain 

questions: have i had enough rest? am i been getting what i need to be healthy? am i cared for? am i frustrated? 

solutions: make sure you’re getting enough sleep on a schedule that works for you (people naturally sleep better at different times and need different amounts of sleep. if youre young you will need to sleep more than 7 or 8 hours). make sure you have varied nutrition in your diet. make sure your medications and supplements are working for you and take them on schedule. work on developing a support system that meets your needs. take breaks from things if you feel burned out, even if it’s only for a day 

monkey brain 

questions: have i had enrichment in my life? am i stuck in a rut? have i had socialization, entertainment, and creativity? has anything challenged me lately? 

solutions: limit your time on social media. make an effort to be in new environments - even if its another room in your house or backyard. examine what is or isn’t working in your routine. pick up a new hobby (if you’re more physically active, consider a hobby like writing or coding. if you’re more mentally active, consider a hobby like woodworking, bookbinding, or a sport). write stories, make art, and write analyses (if you haven’t tried original work - focus on that for a little while). try new music. try a new food. build something with legos. consume a new type of media even if you’re not sure you’ll like it (like graphic novels, radio plays, or watching ballet). take on a long term project and set aside time to work on it on a schedule (whether its every day, every few days, or specific days each week) 

human brain 

questions: do i feel loved? do i feel understood? am i existentially fulfilled? do i have a sense of purpose? do i have a sense of meaning? am i contributing to the lives of the people i care about and are they doing the same for me in return? 

solutions: reach out to friends and loved ones, and do activities together, like play a game online or walk in the park. talk to safe people about things that upset you, such as a trusted friend or a therapist, and find steps to improve your mental health. interrogate whether your religious beliefs are working for you, and if they are, make an effort to practice your faith, whether that is attending services (including digitally if they have them), reading and discussing your religious texts, or following holidays. read self help books or blogs from trusted professionals. read about philosophy and interrogate your own understanding of things. learn how to communicate your needs, thoughts, and desires to people who will listen. be active in your community (whether in community service, activism, or getting involved in local politics). adopt a rescue animal. give money to causes you care about. make an effort to learn about points of view and lived experiences that are different than your own. challenge assumptions about how you are expected to live your life and decide whether you want those things or not. express love for the people you care about - through kind words, good acts, crafts, or otherwise. if there are steps in your life you have been afraid of taking, make a plan to take them 

if you fulfill higher needs before lower needs, you will still feel bad. if you feel bad and don’t know why, start lower and work your way up. basic needs must be met before moving on healthily

Look, I don’t want to be as obsessed with Maxwell Gotch as I am, but like what do you mean that the only kernel of pure joy in his heart is from all the way back in his childhood, being lifted in the air by his grandfather who told him to stay on the ground but always kept their eyes skyward, and otherwise his mind could so easily become a machine, only thinking about a step-by-step checklist of rote realistic goals, but it still is enough for the seed of adventure within him to persevere…. AND then he punched a dinosaur to death??

Do you ever eat popcorn out of the palm of your own hand with such ardent desperation that you feel like both a wild horse and the gentle schoolgirl feeding it treats to gain its affection

Concept: in a setting where vampires exist and can only be harmed by symbols of faith (crucifixes, etc.), a James Randi-style skeptic/supernatural debunker witnesses his family murdered by vampires, and dedicated his life to hunting down what he believes are a cabal of ordinary serial killers with a blood fetish and some cheap plastic fangs. They die when he shoots them with an ordinary gun, granted holy status by the sheer force of his belief that they are actually just ordinary humans who will die when shot.

Harrowhark: Ianthe hasn't mentioned the fine dusting of bone powder I put on her clothes so my traps won't eviscerate her, which means probably she's doing worse to me. She's quite skilled in her way-- I can't even sense her wards and defenses. Ianthe: *doesn't notice the bone dust* *hasn't done anything to Harrow* *hasn't laid any traps at all* I think I'll call her 'Harry'. That's cute and she'll hate it.
