I feel like every month someone has to show up and say "hey so fanart is made for free, so bitching in the tags about how people are characterizing your blorbo wrong is incredibly discouraging and pretty rude"

And yet people keep going "why are people ruining perfectly good fanart with-"

It's not for you anymore

Lost your rights for complaining loudly at the potluck about how you don't like lemon pie. You get no pie now

4) do poppers

4a) gay sex

5) drag brunch

6) a series of events that results in elton john dedicating “someone saved my life tonight” to him

In case anyone is wondering, I can confirm as someone whose ADHD got got by the viral marketing, people aren't lying about that tirtir cushion foundation, it's good, and either my allergies have reached whole new heights or I have a cold, so I'm in prime sensory issues land, and I can barely feel it on my face, and while my nose may be fucked by the cold, it also doesn't seem to have a strong smell

(for more context, my shade is 21N ivory and I have enough unnatural redness in my face from skin issues that I found the shade finders hard to use (but that also means that when I say it's good, I mean it covered all of the redness), but I am typically whatever a brand calls "fair ivory" in winter and "ivory" in summer, so I just used that as a measure, and it worked, but I recognise that that's a privilege of my skin tone, and if you have fairer or darker skin and don't have a store near-by that has them in-stock, it might be a good idea to get the shade sample kits that some of the korean import sites do)

I would send Dalinar a box of assorted chocolates for Valentine’s Day but unfortunately he is a Vorin man so instead I will give him flamin hot cheetos in a heart shaped Tupperware container

🧼 "Do you prefer to take a shower during the morning or evening? Do you like taking baths? What's your favorite scent of shower gel?"

^_^

Evening, preferably.

Haven't taken a proper bath in a while.

I don't like scented shower gels. Been using SEEN body wash lately.

depressed? Put glitter on it

say what you will about supernatural but by butterfly effect alone it has produced truly staggering amounts of good fanfiction. any tag, any fandom, if you look who's writing it, a solid 50% of the time they cut their teeth writing abt dean winchester. its humbling.

This might be random and unrelated but I'm a high school senior taking my final exams which in my country determine the next 4 years of my life. it's now 4 days to the start of test season and Despite prepping well and feeling confident I woke up today to an empty mind. The mocks I took today were awful and I can't really speak to my parents about this as we aren't on speaking terms due to my grades seeing a drop before this. I'm consumed by brain fog and lack of motivation and feel completely lost on how to get back to the way I was yesterday, feeling equipped to handle this. My mind floods up with random details from ages ago?? I'm sorry...Kindly advise

Thank you for your question.

First of all, apologies that this reply is insanely late. Depression hit me like a brick wall this past year. I hope your exams went well and that you’re doing okay❤️

It sounds to me like all the pressure to perform is making you really anxious causing you to blank. Some general advice is to try and exercise or go for a walk as studies show it is a very efficient way to lessen anxiety. As well as mindfullness, meditation or any other generic anxiety reducing activity.

On a more specific note anxiety can really mess you up and for me taking walks just don’t cut it.

The most important ”technique” I’ve learned is called SOAS, and I learned it from a swedish book about ADHD. For translation reasons we’ll call it SOAR

It stands for

S-Stop

O-Observe

A-Accept

R-Release/Respond

It works kinda like this:

Whenever you have a strong overwhelming feeling (like anxiety) pause for a moment and stop. Take a couple deep breaths and take a moment to reflect.

Observe what is going on in your mind and body. What are you thinking/feeling? Maybe you feel scared, afraid to dissapoint yourself and/or others. Maybe your heart is racing or your jaw is clenched. Don’t try to stop or correct anything you’re doing just…observe.

Try your best to accept the way you’re feeling right now. Don’t judge yourself or your emotions by labeling them as ”good” or ”bad” emotions just, acknowledge and accept that they exist. ”I am stressed & anxious. Even if I don’t like it. That’s just how it is right now.”

Finally decide whether you’re going to respond to or release your emotions. This can be tricky. It’s not always clear which answer is ”right” in the moment but I’ll explain them both.

Responding to a feeling means we make a concious decision to act upon it. Our feelings exist to protect us and help us navigate the world. If you feel afraid upon seeing a lion about to pounce on you, then responding to the feeling by running away is probably the sensible thing to do.

By ”releasing” a feeling on the other hand we decide to let go of it and make a concious effort to not act upon that feeling. Sometimes this means taking a deep breath and moving on with your day but with particularily strong emotions it might feel impossible to just let it go. Sometimes to release the feeling you have to actively act against it.

If fear tells us to run away and avoid something, lets say a social interaction, with lots of new people (an introverts worst nightmare) then in order to release the feeling we have to the opposite of what it tells us. Go say hello, socialise, make that phone call, apologise to that friend you’re angry with that you really don’t want to apologise to. It’ll help you overcome the intensity of the feeling and with time and practice the feeling will lessen.

🌻Apologies about the wall of text. I hope this was at least somewhat helpful. If you made it this far, thank you for reading and have a nice day.🌻
