“Ways to keep your partner safe, a guide for the romantically inept”
“”We were gonna practice, he was teaching me ya know– showing me everything he knew about the instrument.”
He shook his head.
“I arrived late. Was caught up with something at the house– I should’ve left sooner—I should have known –”
His eyes squeezed shut painfully– something biting at the edges of his face.
He let out a shaky breath.
“Torn up he was. Could barely even recognize him and that thing–”
His hands clenched painfully.
Dragged him under– took us weeks to even find his body.”
I felt a chasm open in the bottom of my stomach, my eyes went wide and my skin felt cold.
“They closed up the whole beach after that, said cause it was a crime scene, but it’s been months now. They know the truth we all know the truth.”
Monty’s glare darkened. A bottomless panic started to seep into the peripherals of my vision.
“That fucking fish killed him.””
————
“Settling against him, a warmth blossomed between our bodies that was both familiar and comforting. His large hands wrapped around me, holding me close like a lifeline. I lightly traced the veins in his arms as I heard the soft breathing against my neck.
Something lingered though, just in the very back of my mind.
Just a seedling of a thought.
I tried not to think too much about how his arms wrapped around me, trapping me against the covers.
How it felt so similar to beastly waves, holding onto me and pulling me under.
No— I wasn’t thinking that.
I was cuddling with my boyfriend- like we always do. Something I never had a problem with before.
I loved Sun and nothing was going to change that.
…
…nothing…”

as we approach the start of a new semester i'm sending all the compassion and empathy in the world to students who struggle with procrastination and what I affectionately like to call the Shame Monster that goes along with it. it sucks to always be treading water and feeling like a fraud to yourself and others, especially when it's something you truly care about. if you're always thinking "why can everyone else be responsible and organized but not me," your brain is overgeneralizing. you're not the only person to experience being overwhelmed and stuck. and even IF everyone else balanced their life perfectly, that wouldn't make you a bad person for struggling. if you care about something but keep avoiding it and don't understand why, there is probably more going than you realize. if your physical and mental health are being neglected, then you're never going to be able to accomplish what you want to do because you don't have any gas in the tank. it took me crashing and failing last semester for me to finally admit to myself that i was suffering from some SERIOUS burnout. i had this whole plan for research i was going to do over the summer and all these opportunities i wanted to take advantage of that i couldn't do because i was neglecting to take care of myself. the worst thing my anxious brain told me could ever happen did happen and i'm still alive. i hope that doesn't happen to you, but know you can recover and come back better. also: it's okay to stop wanting what you thought you wanted, or to take a different path than the one you were "supposed" to. don't do things because you think other people expect you to, or because you think it's too late to change your mind. that isn't sustainable. your college experience is for YOU, not for other people. you can do this!

cartman 🌻📈❤️🦿🌞
gonna talk about mostly his sillies (aka his DID), but he also has NPD and ASPD in my au, besides some kind of mania/delusions {disclaimer: i do NOT think people with these disorders would tipically act the way cartman does in canon, this is just a headcanon of mine and should not encourage discrimination and/or stigmatization of anyone with these disorders}
🌻 - Do they do anything that helps manage their disability?
Deal with it and hope the worst passes quickly 😭 since he's around 18, he takes antipsychotics to deal with most of the rather dangerous delusions and stuff (which is why the m5 let him live with them ;w;), but the meds didn't help with all the dissociation - it actually took him a Long time to learn to manage the whole meds thing in a way that didn't make him all blurry and dissociated All The Time, but in the end he did :) Also he has a notebook to track switches and conversations between alters, they have worked on internal communication but they're not the best at it so most of the time they just write it down (which also helps with memory issues)
📈 - What age was their disability formed, or became apparent, at?
Their DID was caused by trauma and neglect mostly, which happened to him until he was 6-7 years old. The symptoms of it, however, were confused with him just "playing around" as a kid, until it wasn't playing around and it became actually hard to manage and disabling as fuck-
❤️ - Would they have any advice for someone else struggling with their disability?
"No, screw you" (😭)
🦿 - Do they know anyone with the same disability as them? Are they close?
He knows a bunch of people with PDs (perks of living in a town where everyone is traumatized ig), but he doesn't know anyone with DID - closest would be Kenny, who is otherkin and dissociated more often than not (😭pt2)
🌞 - What does a 'good day' look like for them? Is there anything they like to do on their good days?
Good days would be days with low dissociation, high control over switches and good internal communication. There's nothing specific they like to do on good days - however, if an alter wanted to do something, they use to trigger them to front so they can do whatever it was :)

Fuck characters that made you question your sexuality. What character made you question your gender? I'll go first (Btw I haven't gotten past season 2, I tried watching the show 3 or 4 times growing up and I never did for some reason. I'm trying to finish the show now but I feel like I'm cursed)
ALSO THIS ANIME IS SO PROBLEMATIC BUT IT'S SO FUNNY AND I HATE THAT

idk if it was twitter or here but you posted about how your favorite movie might be porco rosso. i just FUCKING LOVE porco rosso. the drama! the pirates! the planes! the sea! the yearning! i'd rather be a pig than a fascist! "wow that was beautiful, who said that, shakespeare?" >"no. porco." *exits* thank u for also appreciating porco rosso.
IT IS ONE OF MY FAVE MOVIES i actually just a little bit ago finally snagged the art book and it's so wonderful.
also i'm so — you know i was trying to think of the perfect word and i think i have to borrow "chuffed." im chuffed that u bring up the shakespeare line bc i grew up w the porco english dub so im very attached to it, but in fact there's more than one dub out there! and in both porco's voice is very similar but the translation throughout is not — it was hard to clock it in the first few minutes so when i used to be hunting for it to watch online, any time i found a link the first thing i would do was scrub around until i could check that the "what is that, shakespeare?" "no. porco" exchange was there, so i could be assured it was the one i wanted fjkdgjkfkg

As soon as I come to work, I have hundreds of ideas for art and comics, tragic and epic. No, really, an hour had passed since the start of my first working day, and I am almsot crying while trimming the stems of carnations, because the scenario of the life and death of Damian and Gremia in my head. Rom's betrayal of Caryll and Laurence. Micolash's vision of the world. Annalise and Logarius. Wtffffff
