Can you send links to anti-psych theory/literature I want to learn more

I am so, so bad at remembering books I've read, but I have read several on this list! https://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/mad-studies

Honestly, even though it takes forever to read, "Madness and Civilization" by Michel Foucault is the classic for a reason. I recommend at least getting that one.

While I do think anon was rude, I do think it's pretty shitty to set up all this stuff you were going to add the au and then just drop it. It's disappointing. Definitely unfollowing.

Bye.

It is June 27th. I wake up, turn on my phone and don't google if Sydcarmy is canon (I don't want to have my heart broken so early in the morning). Then, by lunch time, I decide enough is enough so I end up googling, is Sydcarmy canon? and when the answer comes out negative I breathe deeply, looking at the sky and telling myself:

"IM TIRED OF THIS FUCKING SHOW BAITING ME, I AM DROPPING THIS SHIT, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS!!!!!!!!"

then, later that night, i end up marathoning the entire season 3 bc syd and carmy have good fucking scenes AS ALWAYS that prove they should be together though, people will insist they are just ~plAtoNIc~, they should remain frIenDS~

i still tell myself i wont watch this show ever again. then season 4 comes out and it happens all over again

I'm actually really interested in how they'll handle the ""reveal"" of Jaskier being bisexual

I don't mean that as in, I expect a show-stopping and emotional coming-out scene but, just the act of establishing his queerness

I feel like there are vaguely 2 different ways of doing it, and even then there are a bunch of small things they can make different but

Route 1.) Jask will be conveniently bisexual the whole time. they'll act like his being into both men and women was already an established thing, despite the fact that it really was not a reality until very recently (recently, as in recently in the real world)

I have a few mixed emotions abt this route, but ultimately I wouldn't hate it if they went with this (low key it fits with the writing by the seat of our pants vibe the show already has, sorry Lauren)

Route 2.) Jask discovers his bisexuality throughout the season, most likely by developing a male crush and doing some soul-searching.

lovely! heartwarming! And keeping up with the established cannon. Yes, Jasskier is very smooth with the ladies but now he can be smooth with the men as well. I also think it would be very cool to see an older character (jaskier is like 40 right?) discover these new things abt himself, it's never too late for more self-discoveries. go get that dick bestie

I also wonder if they go with "Route 2" if it'll be a slow burn deal with longing looks, confused feelings, and lots of hypothetical internal discussion

or if Radovid will take one look at this fuzzy, emotionally tormented poet going through a midlife crisis and be like "so...wanna kiss? kiss maybe? kiss with tongue?? wanna fuck on this dining table, bard?"

and jaskier just 0-0 "yeah."

omg secret third route, Route 1.5.) Valdo Marx will very publicly and very dramatically reveal his and Jaskiers old lustful gay relationship from their college years while publically shaming Jask for being a bad bf like,

"really panckratz,,, you call yourself a tender and generous lover??? well you never acted that way... WITH ME"

Somehow this got swamped by other asks and I just now saw it bUT HELLO??????????? YOUR STYLE IS GORGEOUS??????????? This artwork has fr changed the chemistry of my brain. I don't even know who to focus on more, Mioara, Mihai OR the way you've portrayed their dynamic

[viaetor]

hello everyone! with everything that's been going on, as well as some other irl matters, i'll be taking a break from this blog for a few weeks or so. this is just to recharge my mental energy and look after my mental health, which hasn't been great for the past couple of months if i'm honest. so i want to focus on my friendships, on my research and on my commissions---you know, things that actually do me well! we all need it. please take care of yourselves and look after your needs and safety. i'll see you soon!

[deepgreensunlight]

sorry but if your 'slow burn' enemies-to-lovers couple so much as hold hands accidentally before the end of book one i need you to slam on the brakes!! what do you mean they gazed longingly into each others' eyes? they kissed?? THEY WERE FUCKING??? that's fast burn, real fast.

[code01746]

part of me is like "i'm neglecting my boy!" but also, between talking to rabbit at length about our various takes on this guy and also writing something completely different offline that's rosinante-centric, technically i'm not.

TELL ME 5 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT YOURSELF!

(Let's try and pass this thing on) And after you finish, tag five different people just to tell them how much you appreciate them for being with you on this platform! <3

thank you @sarcasticqueerblob for the tag! decided to make my own post because the original post is long & my contributions will make it worse, HAHA.

i tag @paimonial-rage @mimi-cee-genshin @andromeda-nova-writing @pen-observing @dustofthedailylife (just nice. i only know 5 people on his hellsite AHDJSJDJSJKD. no pressure btw)

i can only write chronologically. by that i mean in the order the fic will be read. i've tried writing the middle or end before the beginning, but it didn’t click with me.

most of my works were written while i’m travelling. i love being alone for long train/bus rides because it’s the perfect pause to retreat to my inner world.

i started reading fanfics on wattpad in 2013. i don’t remember how i found reader inserts, but it’s wattpad. so… :P

i draw! it’s not great, but it’s something. now i just got to dip my toes into music production (e.g. lo-fi, instrumentals) and then i can take the first step to be the triple threat younger me always wanted to be for storytelling.

i started a tumblr in… early 2010s? unfortunately, i deactivated that account, which would have been an amazing time capsule. i wasn’t thinking much when i let it go.

[seventhstrife]

if you want attention from me, you literally have to be SO direct. srsly I just assume I'm annoying unless told otherwise.

also I love fic prompts, but if it's not simple, assume my brain is on fire at all times and it will take me SEVERAL years to get to any that involve world-building at all. if you want immediate replies, keep it basic pls <3

02. hair, 11. teeth, 28. back, & 29. hips ! 👀

close up headcanons » ★ !!

HAIR

Midna’s hair is a point of pride for her, though this was not always the case. as a young teen she had a bit of a rebellious phase* ( read; she still does, but does so in other ways now ) and cut her hair very short as a means of further objecting against the quiet image her caretakers had tried to instill upon her. she was only inspired to let her hair grow out after her fathers taught her about how it could be manipulated with twili magic, and since then she has kept it long to utilize this ability. her skills in doing so were actually pretty mild in comparison to what she was initially capable, and it was only through being cursed as an imp that she was able to further master this art. given how much shorter it has become since returning to her natural form, the versatility with which she was able to use it while transformed has been set back to a less proficient state, but she aims to let it grow out further now that she’s had a taste of its utilities. currently it falls a bit below her shoulder blades when loose, but it appears shorter given how she typically has half of it clasped in front and the rest done up while wearing her robes.

it’s vibrant orange hue is common for that of many of the twili and it always has yellow tips no matter what length she keeps it at. as Midna grows older it will take on further shifts in color, though rather than getting lighter it will grow darker with shades of purple-ish pinks near the roots. the most prehensile parts will always have choppier ends than the rest of her hair, and is more easily controlled when gathered near the end of a clasp or tie of some sort. it is naturally thick which also aids in helping it keep whatever shape she so desires to mold it into; most often that of a hand.

she enjoys treating herself to nicely scented shampoos and making sure it is well maintained even when not stylized. it’s rare that she lets anyone touch or help her brush her hair as well, so if you’re offered, consider yourself lucky!

TEETH

Midna’s canines are sharper than most, though the left is slightly larger than its twin. she was embarrassed by this as a child, but has grown accustomed to any teasing now, and will gladly ( verbally ) bite back at any who dare to try and mock it. this difference is harder to notice on a casual glance, but at her more gleeful moments the left fang has a habit of peeking out against her lower lip. her lower canines also have some prominence, but not to the same effect as the upper two. the rest of her teeth are well cared for and properly aligned.

BACK

the twili's back is nothing too worthy of note. her natural curves appear softer when viewed from behind, though her shoulder blades have a notable protrusion even while relaxed. admittedly seeing her without any form of raiment covering her is odd nowadays given her station, but Midna is a creature of habit, and will forgo her traditional cape in favor of comfort of movement should she so desire.

currently the expanse from her neck to her buttocks is clear of any tattoos. she has yet to decide which achievement will first mark her skin there, as she figures the space is more... private now, given how much it is required of her to keep traditional cloth worn. she has been known to have issues with back pain given her proclivity to sleep in unconventional places and poses.

HIPS

Midna is naturally pear shaped, which will only grow more prominent as she grows older. her figure while as an imp exemplified this. while not as noticeable from far away, she has a fair amount of stretch marks that wrap around her pelvic bone to her lower back, and will peek out from beneath whatever band or cloth she may be wearing at the time. such markings are of no concern to her, and any who say otherwise will only receive a sneering eyeroll. if she chooses to walk verses floating, Midna has a natural sway in her gait that is exaggerated thanks to the width of her hips.

most twili members don’t typically feel a need to wear traditional clothing, and Midna shares this sentiment, though as a high ranking official it is often required of her to wear something more flashy to maintain appearances. her most comfortable form of clothing is the cloth she wears around her hips, an article most commonly worn by others and often denotes which household the twili is from. she has several types of accessories that the cloth can be attached or folded over, some of her favorites including metal bits that dangle against the exposed side.

(Long post, sorry y'all)

A little more than two years ago now, my grandmother passed away. She and my grandpa had moved down to my home town a few years before so we could take care of them. I brought them groceries once a week, helped them write checks, fixed tvs, and found lost things. I was really close with my grandma.

In addition to her hilarious personality and dry wit, one of my favorite things about her was that she was a painter and a crafter like me! She used to crochet, and I took her to the craft store a couple of times so she could get more yarn and books on crochet. But her arthritis and the shaking in her hands kept getting worse, so she eventually had to stop.

She kept her most recent project, a granny square blanket, safely packed away in a plastic bin. She told all of us she was going to finish it one day.

Her hands never got better, and when she got sick, and we found out it was cancer, she rapidly deteriorated.

After she passed, I went to work helping my mom clean out my grandparents apartment so we could move my grandpa in with her. In our frantic cleaning, I found that bin again:

DOZENS of granny squares, dozens of half used skeins. I asked my mom what she wanted me to do with it, and she said she didn't care. I set it aside and later took it home.

Maybe a month later, that tumblr post about the Loose Ends Project was going around. It felt like a sign--I was never going to learn to crochet in order to finish my grandmother's blanket. But they might be able to help!

So I filled out the interest form. They got back to me SUPER quick. And maybe 2 weeks later, I was paired with volunteer in my state (only 2 hours away!) and the box of yarn, granny squares, and my grandmother's crochet hook were in the mail. That was at the end of January this year.

Over the next couple of months, my "finisher" emailed me regular updates on her progress, and asked me questions on my preferences for how she constructed the final blanket.

At the end of August, the blanket was done!

I had always intended the blanket to be a gift for my mother. So I cleaned it up, put it in the only bag I had big enough to fit it, and drove to my mom's. I gave the blanket to her and she was gobsmacked. I explained to her all about Loose Ends, and how someone volunteered to finish the piece for us. She was speechless. (I was quite pleased with this, because I am not the best at giving gifts, so this was a pretty exciting reaction!)

She said that it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever been given. She said "your grandma would love this". To which I replied, "yeah, I know she really wanted to finish it a couple of years ago". But that was when my mom dropped the bomb of a century on me--she told me that my grandma had started making those granny squares OVER 30 YEARS AGO. She had started the blanket when my grandpa was staying in the hospital, but that was back when my mom was younger than I am now! My grandma had packed them all away, planning on finishing it, when my grandpa was sent home from the hospital. Then it went from house to house, from condo in Chicago to their apartment in my hometown. All that time and my grandma had wanted to finish it, but couldn't. First because she was busy, then because she forgot how to do it, then because of her arthritis, and then because of the cancer. My mom said she had given up on expecting my grandma to finish it. 

She said I brought a piece of her childhood with her mom out of the past.

And really, all of this is to say, if you have seen or heard about the Loose Ends Project and have an uncompleted project or piece from a loved one who has passed away--these are your people. They were so kind and treated my project with such care. That box probably would have been found by my own grandkids one day if I hadn't heard about Loose Ends.

Five stars, absolutely worth it!

(From what I understand, you can sign up to volunteer too! If you have time to share, it might be worth checking out!)
