" I'm drowning in this gloom that cannot be concealed My sighs are deep; I was thrust down into the darkness. Ceaseless rain... it's futile; alone I tread forth, Hand in hand with strength... "

In discussions about mental health, I am so tired of the only voices mattering being other people or other people who do not deal with a condition/disorder or a specific situation.

"Here's how I deal with loved ones with [x] condition!"

"If you do [y] because of [x mental health reason], you're selfish and everybody who loves you is having their lives made harder by you!"

"If your symptoms are [z], you're gross, and you deserve no sympathy for struggling"

I understand to an extent why people do this, but holy hell, as somebody who struggles and struggles often, the last thing any of us need to be told is that we're a burden that others have to carry. And it's terrible how everybody else's feelings but ours matter - even if we are the ones most affected by our condition or situation.

If you are dealing with issues surrounding your mental health and well-being, know that everything above isn't true; you are worthy of patience, understanding, kindness, and love. You are worthy of being listened to without judgment. You don't have to apologize or "make up" for who you are or what you struggle with.

WAIT WAIT NEW ALNST UPLOAD TODAY ?? HOLY SHIT IM NOT READT FOR THIS

[danielnelsen]

update: peach is doing very well!! she's eating and sleeping normally (sleeping more than normal, really, but that's to be expected)!! after 3 days of not sleeping and a few changes in painkillers, she finally just napped for an hr then, after another day, slept through the whole night (and most of the next day). she's started following all her usual routines again and is very keen to eat! still on some painkillers, but they're not having any horrific side effects anymore

now that im not staying up to keep an eye on her all night (while also dealing with upgrading my computer and my phone and also my sister preparing to go overseas and the dogs barking and howling constantly due to all of the above), i finally got some decent sleep too and slept for about 14 hrs. so today ive got that weird shakiness that i get from sleeping too much, but hey it's better than the whole of the last week

quick refs for my cuttlefish idols

some info: tiramisu and marzipan arent their actual names, theyre stage names. they predate the squid sisters and were around in the squid 2000s, but because of low sales and in-fighting they disbanded. i imagine in current time theyre pushing 40 lol

Just finished my first playthrough of BG3. Romanced Lae'zel, but ending up turning into an Illithid because the idea of making Orpheus or Karlach do it didn't sit well with me (or my character).

I told Lae'zel to leave with Orpheus in the end (I heard she wouldn't stay with a ghaik anyway, which she's valid for, but also, it doesn't feel right to ask her to stay when I know how much her people mean to her). And like-

Her face before she flies off---

She looks so heartbroken and sad.

you mentioned that the rats had names. may i inquire as to the names of the saintly rats

Aaaaa of course! I tried my best to put some thought into the names of the rats- more specifically, since the character who named them is from the 12th century, I tried to find saints that were canonized before he was born, but were also related to some of his own interests and issues. It was a quick delve, so there might be a few inaccuracies over whether or not he would have actually venerated a few of these Saints (because if I'm assuming correctly, different denominations of Catholicism don't venerate the same saints as everyone else? idk im not catholic), but here's the current list!:

Tutilo (famous for the lyre)

Sebastian (patronage for soldiers and the plague-stricken)

Gertrude (specifically Gertude of Nevilles, invoked against rats and fevers)

Joseph (the saint associated with Aldwulf's birthday (but also for those in doubt))

Peter (involved against criminals)

Nonnosus (invoked against physical defects and chronic pain)

While compiling this list, I also decided to grab a few more names I could use for later down the line:

Leodegar (eye problems)

Hubert (patron of hunters)

Adrian+Natalia (again, guards and soldiers)

Gereon (knights)

Aldwulf also has another rat named Samson; I read somewhere that knights had long-ish hair as a way to emulate that same character from the bible, and while I'm not sure how true that is, I ran with it! Samson's his main rat, in the sense that he listens to Aldwulf a bit more; he's also the largest rat, so he visibly spends more time around Ald compared to the others.

Thank you for the ask, this was really fun!

who knew that some agere people would be the worst type of people to exist (talking about you spinny)

[happyk44]

Nico waking up and he doesn't know who he is. He asks Hazel where he is - where's his kid, where's his wife. Hazel sits with him and assures him he's fine while everyone watches confused. He was sick for a bit, she tells him, and now he's just recovering. He'll get to go home soon.

She is comforting and warm and he relaxes a bit. Minutes pass by, turn into hours, and his memories come back. The knowledge that he is him. He is not the dead man who left behind a wife and child after being robbed at knifepoint. He is not the little girl choking to death with asthmatic weak lungs that won't inhale and a mother who doesn't care. He is not the old woman wondering where her husband is.

He is Nico. Son of Hades and Maria di Angelo. He is not dead, not yet. He is not survived by anyone, not yet.

Hazel holds his hand the whole time and he comes back to her weary smile and sighs shallowly as the edges of her face bloom back into his memory. Hazel, his sister. There are other people on the periphery but he focuses on her. Her brown skin. Her brown eyes. Her thick curly black hair. Her warm hands. The bracelet on her wrist.

Her voice beckoning him back.

"His wife looked like you," Nico says. "A little taller though. Older."

He was twenty-six. She'd been in his life since they were five, playing in the sandbox. She'd screamed at another kid for taking her shovel and he'd fallen in love immediately. Nico's heart holds onto that love, twenty-one years, even as the man's world fades. Slowly the love seeps away too, and he's just left with a strange longing for a life that wasn't his.

A life that doesn't exist anymore.

"Is he okay?" Hazel asks.

He closes his eyes and exhales shaky. There's a vicious pain in his abdomen. Another lingering ache in his throat. Screams still echo even as the world fades into wispy colours and a strange man telling him it's time to go.

"He's okay," Nico says, because there isn't any other answer he can give.

The man is dead. The man who lived twenty-six years and had a wife he loved from childhood and a daughter whose young hands never left his own as he laid bleeding on hot tarmac. The man who heard crying and pleads to stay just a little longer, to just hang in there, and couldn't. Try as he might, as hard he wanted to, he couldn't stay.

It was time to go.
