#take care of yourselves and each other

[tuiyla]

The 8th is drawing to a close in my time zone but with the 13th also coming up and in general, I just want to send everyone struggling much love and big big hugs! Whether you’re feeling down because of the tragedies of Cory and Naya or in general, I want you to know that in case you need to vent or hear a few supporting words, my ask box and DMs are always open. Even if you just want to leave an anon message and ask for it not to be published, that’s perfectly fine.

Take care, not only now but in general. The world is an unstable and scary place but connecting with people makes it better. Much love, pals.

Tommy: We’re not kids anymore. There’s no Wilbur, there’s no Quackity, there’s no anyone -- there’s no any person that’s older than us. This is up to us. Tubbo: I miss when things were simpler. It makes me sad.

You ever think that sometimes the spooky gays' get a lil overwhelmed with their thoughts?

Remus gets just a little too disturbing with his own thoughts to the point where even he has to sit down and just take a second to process what he just thought or daydreamed about?

Virgil works himself so deep into an anxiety rabbit hole that he's convinced himself of something entirely untrue as if it were logical scientific fact?

I think they do. Sometimes, anyway. One more than the other. I like to think they just kinda appear for each other.

Remus can't fix the anxiety (he's certainly not good at fixing it, he knows that) but he can keep Virgil company until he either comes down from the anxiety or until Remus can find a place to interject a distraction for him.

I think Virgil appears when Remus is having a moment and drags him for a distraction. Sometimes it doesn't warrant one so he just sits with him.

Maybe they talk over their individual problems. Maybe they don't. Maybe it's a quiet mutual understanding from their pre-Accepting Anxiety days that never stopped even after Virgil went with the Light Sides.

If you're reading this, support your friends. If you can't support your friends, do a little something for yourself. Do something for yourself anyway. You deserve it. Thank you for being you.

(I'm okay just really tired and in my thoughts LMAO)

The fact that they can have an understanding with each other especially in a moment of vulnerability and stress is exactly why I L O V E them so much <3 Their functions are hard for them to deal with but they can relate on that pain which makes it easier for them to communicate and be there for one another <3

one of the main ways my anxiety has manifested this year—presumably due to everything that happened with wally—is this feeling of absolute certainty that someone i love is going to die. and it. sucks. because i know there's no basis for this feeling, i know its just a trauma response, but i still can't shake it. every moment has been spent bracing myself for The News. the news that someone is sick, or was in an accident, or just straight up died in their sleep. and i think the reason its so hard to disarm that fear is bc it could happen. i mean. that's literally what happened with wally. we went from vague concern over him not peeing for a day or two to putting him down in the span of a month. and that could happen again. anything could happen, and theres nothing i can do about it but wait and hope the other shoe doesnt drop any time soon.

being a person is incredibly hard, but i’m really glad you keep choosing to be one. i know sometimes it might feel like you’re bad at it; you’re wrong. you’re perfectly good at it, and the struggling is just part of it. it doesn’t necessarily make us better or worse whether we take it in stride or stumble and fall. but i do think it helps us to understand ourselves, understand our loved ones, understand that being a person is hard but not something we have to do alone. we were never meant to do it alone, and i’m glad i don’t have to.

thank you for being a person with me 💜

"it gets better" is a self-fulfilling prophecy. the good kind. if you can hold on to the idea of a brighter future for yourself, no matter how vague it feels in your mind, you're more likely to sow the seeds of that very future for yourself both consciously and subconsciously.

"tomorrow will be a good day, I should prepare for it" -> "I don't feel like eating, but I need to do so so I won't be too fatigued to enjoy my good day tomorrow" -> "I'm so glad I took care of myself yesterday, it made today so much easier"

it works short-term, it works long-term. no, I don't believe there's some magic force fixing people's lives over time, no, I don't think having more life experience will save you from everything this world is gonna throw at you, I've seen too many awful, final things happen to good people to believe in any of that

but it's like a little good luck charm. you are the spellcaster and the recipient. I don't think having a good attitude toward your own future is naive, in fact I think it's vital to taking good care of yourself and willing yourself to take those extra steps needed to make things turn out alright with your own two hands

lemon tree, very pretty, and the lemon flower is sweet, but the fruit of the poor lemon is impossible to eat.

hey, y’all.  just a quick little message to say thanks for everything.  now that my previous fandom commitments are behind me and i am staring down the barrel of a new year, it’s time to say goodbye.  <3

many, many thanks to everyone who read a fic, left a comment or kudos, or supported me with a reblog.  it was appreciated each and every time.

this message is being queued in september because i know i’ll chicken out if i don’t set it up in advance.  leaving this blog is strange and bittersweet but as anyone who is following me as i type this can attest, i’ve become a bit of a drag.  at this point, it’s clear that stepping away is really the only option moving forward.  because i don’t want to pull you all down with me.

this is no one’s fault but my own, but if i am being truly honest with myself (and all of you), my relationship with this space has become untenable.  every piece of fanart for another creator makes me feel hollow.  every morning when i see my kudos email with thirty new hearts only to open ao3 to zero comments, i am defeated.  watching folks forge friendships and be part of exchanges makes me cry.  i cannot stop comparing myself to others, and it has turned me into a person i don’t like.

(additionally, the amount of energy it takes to navigate this fandom with my specific brand of trauma is... exhausting.  if you take nothing else from this post, please take this:  tag your shit.  hell, overtag it.  i have things blacklisted that i still encounter on an almost daily basis because people do not put warnings on their posts.  i did my part.  we should all be doing our part.  it takes so little effort, really.)

i tried over the past 1.5+ years to carve out a space for myself to enjoy within fandom, but whatever i was able to eke out with my blunt shovel just hasn’t been enough to satisfy.  i am greedy, as it happens; greedy for love and adoration i cannot attain and should not expect.  it’s turned me into someone who becomes jealous rather than excited by others’ success & that’s not who i want to be.

anyway.  this is a long little ramble to say i’m sorry for being so self-obsessed i can’t get out of my own way.  apologies for not finding enough joy in the process to outweigh the pain of feeling left out & left behind.  i hope you all find precisely what you are looking for in other creators; there are so many wonderful and talented folks out there, i have no doubt you will.

after all, in the grand scheme of the naruto fandom, i am just a little blip.

thank you for everything.  best wishes to all of you in the new year and beyond.  <3

love, lem.

Hi! How you doing? You seem to be one of the actives ones remaining on tumblr.

I can't sleep so I will get a bottle of water; get one for yourself too and take care please just a gentle remainder.

thank you for the kind words <3

i'm doing alright. seeing more people pay their respects to him on twitter made me cry all morning. even john green tweeted.

i'm feeling better overall. it's friday. the sun is shining. i get monday off from work. and i know it'll be ok even if it isn't right now.

[rat-rosemary]

I'm being completely honest, I'm not sure I can check the Quackity's side of this fandom because I know I'll either see negativity that will fuck me over or normal stuff that will make me cry, so I'm going to keep screaming about positivity and communication and community at you folks until someone tells me you're all good
