i am going to phrase this poorly but i need to say it anyway: cringing and upholding cringe culture is your knee-jerk feeling of disgust against things that are unfamiliar or odd to you. yes, yours. it’s not just a silly word that means “when other people make fun of things i like,” it’s something that you can and will do too, often without even really realising.
“fighting cringe culture” means when you’ve been made uncomfy by something you see online, actually, truly reflecting on that feeling and if it actually comes from a thought-through and informed opinion, or your uninformed (or misinformed) biases and unfounded assumptions.
put simply: you don’t get to opt out of thinking. ever.
(and even if it truly is the first option, the best action you can take is to keep scrolling. harassment is never justified.)

thinking deeply about the One (1) time i got high with a friend and their partner and they snuggled me and played with my hair... when i tried to get up because i was worried it was awkward my friend like gestured for me to come back and said like "it's okay, take whatever you need" so i ended up like. snuggling with them for a while?
when i mentioned it to a friend a while later they went like "? i think they were inviting you for more than just snuggles" and now i think about it all the time. what tha heck...

the nice thing about having hallucinations is that while your having breakfast with your partner, you get to see a 7ft tall animatronic try to walk around a place too short for him
i was able to accurately draw on my ipad what my hallucinations look like, so other people can see the way i see the world a bit
they aren't always this transparent, and they aren't always this easy to notice too. some times they are less visual and some times i can't tell them apart from real people
im just extremely fortunate most of them are not hostile or harmful to me any more :')

Do you think Brook was someone who was always so lively or did he have to make a conscious effort after becoming a skeleton? Do you think the crew ever sees him just Sitting There and wonder if his soul is still there?? Does he make an effort to be more full of life? Sry I just been thinking about him
YEAH,,,,,, Definetly,,,,
I do think he's always been a lively person, though mostly encouraged by his years upon sea as part of the Rumbar Pirates. He was their main musician, and he took that role with pride and vigor. He genuinely loved his crew, his captain, and later Laboon and he was happy to show it. Although, overall, he was calmer during moments of lull where the music was more relaxed than jolly. He had no need to prove his presence, and would rather watch in silent amusment as his crew and captain got into trouble than participate in it himself.
But his time alone — for 50 years — had made him louder. He feels the need to prove to himself be was alive, to be in motion and laugh and sing. He does reach a point where it becomes natural to him to joke about his condition, and he becomes a slight bit more used to how he was to the point where he allows himself to (metaphorically) breath.
With the Strawhats, he knows he's alive and no longer alone (though there are days he fears he's never escaped the mist) but he now wants to prove that life in other ways— by giving it to them, to Luffy. He's alive through song and jokes and movement, of course, but now he's alive through battle as well. He makes an effort to prove his livelihood by giving it to his captain, beyond his role as musician.
Though I like to think there are (rare) days where it's just too much and it's overwhelming—or something triggers a flashback — and he just can't get himself to move. He wants to, he has to, but he can't and it terrifies him. He'll move on without mention and laugh it off it brought up, because I sincerely cannot imagine him escaping 45-50 years of isolation without Some consequence

this is your gentle reminder to stop fighting against your adhd and instead structure your life around it
buy a pack of chapsticks and put one in the pocket of all of your coats and jackets because you always forget to bring one and chapped lips is sensory hell
leave important things where you can see them. if they go in a box or a drawer you will forget they exist
put any appointments or deadlines in your phone calendar As Soon As you get them. set a reminder for a week before, a day before, an hour before, as many as you need as often as you need them.
when that little voice in your head says "i dont need to write that down, ill remember it" that is the devil talking!!! write it down anyway!!
plan for down time. have a few hours at the end of every day to just do fun stuff like engage in your hyperfixations. even if you didnt get all of your work done that day, have the rest anyway. you probably spent the whole day beating yourself up for not doing what you Should be doing, so you still need the break.
if you never eat vegetables because its too much effort to chop and cook them, get the frozen or canned shit. it doesnt go off for ages and you just have to microwave it. theres no point buying fresh vegetables if they just keep going off and being left to rot in the bottom of your fridge
if you struggle to decide what to have for dinner every day, take the decision out of it. choose a set of meals and eat those on rotation until you get sick of them, then choose some new ones and do it again.
its not stupid if it works! our brains literally have a chemical deficiency. you are allowed to accommodate yourself. go forth and stop making your life more difficult than it has to be because "this shouldn't be this hard". it is hard, so make it easier.
