Saw the northern lights with@halfknife and some other dodgeball babes this weekend.

Sometimes I'll look in the face, my fascination for a villain and ask myself "really, this piece of shit is who you love and feel sympathy for?".

Then my reflection answers back "Yep. That's who I want to see heal and prosper, you piece of shit".

Asian-Exclusive Blue Dragon Content

This is a collection of as many Asian-Exclusive Blue Dragon things that I could find.

Shiny box art for the first game. There's also the villain variant as some of the covers over there are reversible.

There's also a guide book titled Blue Dragon: Deep Blue. Here are some images of it

There's also a book which I assume comes with the Awakened Shadow game but I'm not sure. You can see more about it on a post from the R/bluedragon subreddit.

Figurines of the main characters that came with a copy of the first game.

There was also a Blue Dragon-themed Xbox 360 faceplate.

Crossover merch between season 2 of the anime and the Dragon Ball franchise, (and sometimes other Toriyama properties).

There's a bit more than this but I don't want this post to become too long so I'll just leave it like this.

Unconditional love isn't a free pass to hurt me.

tried to tell my faithful eunuch Tucker that he was basically tumblr famous, but he was too focused on defending the homestead to care

if your weird enough with the homies you can break all boundaries of platonic/romantic love and make a third, more evil thing

You know, that Mythbusters post legitimately changed my life. Before seeing it, I had exponentially more guilt and stress about not being able to sleep, which of course, further exacerbated my inability to sleep.

Now, every time I wake up about three am, knowing I have to get up at 6.45, instead of stressing and panicking about how my day is going to be sleep deprived and miserable, I just tell myself 'Time to activate Mythbusters Protocol' and lie there with my eyes closed safe in the knowledge that I am measurably reducing later feelings of exhaustion.

And when this happens, about 70% of the time the reduction of guilt and stress means I actually do fall back asleep, so all in all instead of getting only three or four hours sleep, I get five to six and a half.

Which y'know, major improvement in health and energy.

Since I'm therapist-posting recently:

Legitimately self-compassion is the biggest mental health life hack of all time. I'm NOT talking about self-esteem. You do NOT have to like yourself one bit. You don't have to believe that you're a good person who deserves good things. You just have to believe that you're a person who deserves the things all people deserve.

You can't get from "I'm the Worst" to "I'm a worthy and lovable person" without passing through "I'm just a regular fuckup like everybody else."

Try it on. If you're really addicted to being mean to yourself, you can start by framing it as I'm Not Special. Embrace being a regular fuckup like everybody else.

i think the important thing to understand is that sexual violence is an extension of violence, not sex

Turning around an idea in my head recently :)

Lost Shepherd (Time Travel) AU

In which Truthless Recluse doesn’t experience rebirth and awakening upon shattering his soul jam, but the explosion of his and Shadow Milk Cookie’s combined power in a twisted space where all time coexists as one sends him back in time to his childhood.

When Pure Vanilla Cookie searches for his lost sheep, he finds a lost shepherd to take home as well.
