Here it is, two people who gave me notes! I made it! Plz follow it

Okay so someone help me

I had a Sanders sides au idea

I could make a blog for the idea

I want to make a blog for the idea

If I get like,,, two notes I'll do it.

The idea:

(Tw: abuse mention/implied abuse, depressy bitches, theft, running away, driving a year too young, fear, sleep deprivation, general Shitty lives, mom friend Virgil, enby Logan, night driving)

They were all packed into the van Virgil had stolen from his father since he bought a new one. It had been hours on the road, and the others were asleep in the back. Virgil was still driving, staying quiet so he wouldn't awake the others. He knew they were all skittish. He was skittish too. They had all gathered all the money they had and some shelf-stable snacks since they knew it'd be a long ride. Virgil was just really hoping they wouldn't get pulled over. He kept thinking back to the things his father did to him, the things his friends told him that their parents did to them... He wanted to turn the music back on, but they were all asleep, He really didn't want to wake them since he knew that all of them rarely slept out of fear.

Remus was smiling softly as he slept.

Roman looked so much less tense.

The normally alert Janus looked so calm.

Patton looked comfortable on Roman's chest. He liked sleeping on his friend's chests.

Logan... They looked so at peace. Comfortable in their own skin and sure that nothing bad would happen.

Virgil smiled as he glanced in the rearview to check on his friends.

He loved all of them.

Platonically, of course. He's aro. At least he thinks that. He's not sure anymore.

Askers would be able to ask the kids directly. They're 15 btw. Yes there is plot. Kind of. No there will not be art bc I can't draw. Askers are also allowed to pat the kid's heads but that's it and it is highly discouraged and preferred that you would ask them before committing head pat.

The entire blog will need a bunch of tws bc the plot of the au is heavily based on the kids having meanie bitches of parents and being mentally scarred for the rest of their lives.

Choose your way of thinking, try to resist following old thinking patterns

The Butterfly project- draw a butterfly on the place(s) that you would self harm and if the butterfly fades without self-harming, it means it has lived and flown away, giving a sense of achievement. Whereas if you do self-harm with the butterfly there; you will have to wash it off. If that does happen, you can start again by drawing a new one on. You can name the butterfly after someone you love.

Write the name of a loved one [a friend, family member, or anyone else who cares about you] and write their name where you want to self harm. When you go to self harm remember how much they care and wouldn’t want you to harm yourself.

think about what you would say to a friend who was struggling with the same things you are and try to be a good friend to yourself.

Make a bracelet out duct tape, and put a line on it every day (Or any period of time) you go without self harm. When it’s full of lines, take it off and make a chain out of all the bracelets and hang it up somewhere where you can be reminded of your great progress.

Alternatives that give the illusion of seeing something similar to blood:

Draw on yourself with a red pen or body paint, or go to a site such as this, where you ‘cut’ the screen (be aware that some users may find this triggering, so view with caution)

Cover yourself with plasters where you want to cut

Give yourself a henna or fake tattoo

Make “wounds” with makeup, like lipstick

Take a small bottle of liquid red food coloring and warm it slightly by dropping it into a cup of hot water for a few minutes. Uncap the bottle and press its tip against the place you want to cut. Draw the bottle in a cutting motion while squeezing it slightly to let the food color trickle out.

Draw on the areas you want to cut using ice that you’ve made by dropping six or seven drops of red food color into each of the ice-cube tray wells.

Paint yourself with red tempera paint.

‘Cut’ your skin with nail polish (it feels cold, but it’s hard to get off)

Use red food colouring on your skin

Alternatives to help you sort through your feelings:

Phone a friend and talk to them

Make a collage of how you feel

Negotiate with yourself

Identify what is hurting so bad that you need to express it in this way

Write your feelings in a diary

Free write (Write down whatever you’re thinking at that moment, even if it doesn’t make sense)

Make lists of everything such as blessings in your life

Make a notebook of song lyrics that you relate to

Call ahotline

Write a letter to someone telling them how you feel (but you don’t have to send it if you decide not to)

Start a grateful journal where everyday you write down three: good things that happened/ things that you accomplished/ are grateful for/ made you smile. Make sure the journal is strictly for positive things. Then when you feel down you can go back and look at it.

So I just slathered myself I'm lotion as I usually do since I'm a dry bitch

And I realized

"Oh I feel slimy

Likey"

So I said that aloud as my sibling off a mushroom walked past so they opened the door and just said

"Get away from me you slimy boi."

So I just did the hand thing that Janus (from Sanders sides) does

They started hissing

I started hissing

Our father told us to stop

We burst into laughter

I am now the slimy boi of this household

[defanonymouscoffeebean]

Reminder that you need to put lotion in your bag of uncooked rice occasionally to keep it good for use in voodoo puppets and the like! ✨❤✨💀✨

Eldest and I sleep with a myriad of stuffed animals and pillows

Ok I never did one of these before and I'm worried it will flood my notes but I have an Hypothesis, so, For Science: are you an eldest, middle, youngest or only child, and how many pillows do you sleep with?

Intril the Remus/Virgil fusion. The Hypochondriac. Smol bat. Full of anxiety and the disturbing facts to back up his fears. Jumpy/skittish and very liddol in size (like…. 3 feet). “Don’t tell me there’s nothing wrong with me just cause I have a “““mild””” tummy ache! Do you know how common tapeworms are?!” 

And Intreit the Remus/Janus fusion. The Kraken Captain. Suave, debonair, enjoys skewering things way too much. Tentacles! 8D Treasure hoarder and menace of the high seas! “It’s not just about the treasure, darling, it’s about the class! The name you make of yourself! The chase in a storm when the winds are fierce and the boat rocks like it’ll topple! the stories they tell of your heinous deeds!”

As always, alternate versions of these WILL become my OCs once I develop lore for them.

If anyone calls Intril a clown because of the Joker colours I will take your kneecaps and shove them up your ass.

Magnificent Geometric Snow Art by Simon Beck

For the past decade, Simon Beck has been decorating the mountains with his stunning mathematical drawings, created by running in snowshoes across the freshly laid snow. Each image takes him up to 11 hours to make and covers an area about 100m x 100m, requiring him to travel up to 25 miles as he marks out the pattern. 

Beck produces about 30 snow drawings every winter in the northern hemisphere, mostly in the Alps. He started 10 years ago doing it for fun and now it is his main occupation. “When you have a blank piece of paper you draw on it,” he says. “So drawing on a blank snowfall seemed like a natural thing to do”.

You can learn about the fine details of his process in this FAQ and see additional photos over on Facebook. He also published a book of his work titled Simon Beck: Snow Art.

Just a reminder because apparently people don’t realize this, but the rainbow gay pride flag isn’t like…a gay male pride flag? it was literally meant as a pride flag for everyone in the community. not that there’s anything wrong with specific identities having their own flag, but i keep seeing ppl post flag sets as if the rainbow ride flag only represents gay men and saying that not including every single other flag known in existence means you’re excluding people when no it’s not the rainbow flag is for everyone
