One thing I really appreciate about my therapist is that she stopped asking me a long time ago, “and do you think that [anxious thought] is rational?”

Because she knows. She knows I grew up in and escaped a high control group (cult) before. She knows that when I’m noticing things other people are scoffing at, I’m the canary in the coal mine beating my wings to try and escape the cage before I get dragged under by the people around me who are refusing to see the signs. Either because they believe it will never happen to them or because they don’t see it as a problem.

And she knows I can’t run. Not really. So instead her responses are, “it’s good you can acknowledge you feel this way, but let’s try and focus on your breathing and what we can do to help you get through today,” because that’s really all I can do at the moment. And I know it’s all a lot of us can do right now too.

So if you need permission to do nothing but the bare minimum to survive today, here it is. Take one step at a time, one breath at a time if you need to. And outlive the fuckers no matter what.

LIVING for damian becoming a doctor. but also he would never let bitches forget who the fuck he is.

like damian’s a fourth year med student doing his emergency rotation and someone tries to start taking hostages. he does not wait for the police or batman, he’s busy and has to help his patients, so he just takes down the guy. doesn’t even break a sweat, knocks him out could and restrains him to a bed. batman shows up ten minutes later and tries to give him a disappointed sigh but damian shuts him down. “should have been quicker if you wanted to handle it batman. i had work to do and i was not going to wait for you.”

he’s at the watchtower with bruce or dick or jon, maybe doing doctor stuff but also just maybe hanging out and someone’s like “why is this random civilian here? why would you let him in the gym?” And damian just smiles and suggests a spar with whoever asked. the hero is taken aback but agrees, they hold back bc they figure this is just some cocky civilian. bruce or dick would sigh and shakes their heads, jon would be absolutely delighted to see damian take someone down again. bc of course damian still trains in his spare time, it’s damian.

like damian is 99% of the time chill with being himself as a civilian, dedicating himself to his patients, spending his free time making art or gardening or taking care of his animals. BUT he’s not about to give up being a badass, and lowkey loves to shock people with his physical skills.

Maisie beautiful and that sounds like a lovely morning!

It's pretty cold here today, so I'm happy to be inside with a cup of tea.

how's the weather near you?

(I am attempting to combat the spam asks in my inbox by sending friendly ones out)

<3 the weather here is very sunny for now! I may even go outside later, but for now I'm sitting on the opposite side of the room to have breakfast, do some writing, and get distracted by the cat

How's the weather by you? Got anything fun happening?

(her name is Maisie and she's only being distracting in that I keep just looking over to watch her nap on the windowsill)

I've been sick the last few days, so definitely the big soft blanket and my cat when I can get her to come have cuddles. (Also, books are a great distraction so agree with you there).

I've had too many spam asks in the last few weeks, so in case you have this problem too, heres a friendly real person ask.

What's your go to comfort item? (food, blanket, thing, idk interpret this how you wish and procrastinate as long as you want).

Hi! Thank you so much! That is the sweetest ask I've gotten, that was incredibly considerate of you.

My comfort item, I think, would be my pillow (I need an extra one just to hug it, it's comforting), or my books (the reading ones, not the textbooks, they keep me distracted from reality).

What would your comfort item be?

for me internet friendships are “we don’t talk all the time but I see you’re online and it makes me happy” and I really hope it’s like that for everyone

Coming to tumblr from pinterest is like, wow, it's just like the screenshots said it would be like. I feel like a fantasy protagonist who's traveled to a land they only read about from manuscripts.

Damian Wayne goes to medical school to become a doctor and IMMEDIATELY the rouge gallery tries to indoctrinate him into being evil.

It’s not even that they know he’s Robin, it’s just that they think it’d be hilarious if they made Brucie Wayne’s son evil.
