no cuz i haven’t moved on i choose to ignore when hyuck said he wanted to delete ig and just stick to bbl/weverse whatever tf permanently LIKE……..?? i deleted wv for the betterment of my mental health (not needing to see what seventeen is up to at their every waking moment) but you will never catch me downloading and subscribing to someone’s bbl… neo does not have my back THAT much

jaem making sure he reminds me he was my first neo for a reason… like he KNOWS the impact any form of blond hair on him does to people it’s DISGUSTING literally gripping my hair at the root about to rip it out the way i keep going back to his ig just to loook at him.

also the mark bf pics… i can’t think ab it that way bc he’s easily like top neo to master an aesthetically pleasing feed (unlike my actual biases cough haechan cough dejun cough prada clown shoes jae…) bc it reminds me… of when people say… there’s no way he’s not with someone… because of the way he’s been writing songs recently… his feature on doyoungs album MISTY from fact check and don’t DONT EVEN TALK ABOUT LIKE WE JUST MET BECAUSE HOW DID HE HELP WRITE THOSE W NO ONE IN MIND… HE PROBABLY GOT KIDS AT HOME TOO 💔💔💔

—🪼

thank god i don’t have weverse anymore my goodness i remember when i’d wake up on the weekends to like 100 notifications from hoshi replying to fans 😭😭😭 I MEAN THE ONLY REASON ID CONSIDER BUYING BBL would be because of that small possibility that they read your message, i recently learned that if the tick mark next to your text disappears, it means the artist has read your message (found this out in the most heartbreaking way, when renjunnie was on bbl reading supportive messages after he was getting a lot of hate and a hater found his number 💔) other than that, ill just stick to my precious feedarchive on twt

the way he himself said that he thinks he looks the best during maw LIKE HE KNOWSSSS HE LOOKS GOOD RN UGHH i love a confident king i love it when he compliments himself like yesss selfish self loving king i love you

prada clown shoes fuckshdhsjsk😭😭😭 AND SROP DONT MAKE ME THING OF THAT i hope whoever is with him rn is fucking happy like fuck you that should be me 😭 there is no we he doesn’t have someone rn like those lyrics on the dolo feature we’re TOOOO romantic fuck he is fucking someone behind the scenes i can’t take this, god take all my suffering and give it to someone else 😭😭🙏🏽🙏🏽 AND DONT SAY RHAT NO HE DOESNT HAVE CHILDREN STOP IT RIGHT THERE. PLEASE.

#asks.#from 🪼 anon #that one tiktok audio that’s like ‘that was supposed to be your daddy’ is me n mark #like that was supposed to be MY MAN

hey

Feel free to ignore this bc it literally doesn’t make a difference in your life at all I'm just gonna rant. And with that being said: being depressed fucking sucks. I'm thinking a lot of thoughts and feeling a lot of feels and I just wanted to kinda rant into the void for a little bit because I don't want to burden the ppl around me IRL and I don't want to post on my depression spam ig because people I know follow it. It just feels nice to have anonymity for a little bit because you all have the option to not read this and not feel like a dick if you scroll by.

I have no interest in doing things I need to and no pleasure in doing things I want to?? Like I know That Is Depression but man it fucking sucks. It's hard because you never get used to feeling like shit. You don't cope or become desensitized you just up your meds and hope for the best. I've been depressed for six years. I've lost my teenage hood to depression and it fucking sucks.

I was talking to a friend from school once who did have mental illness but didn't have depression and there were occasionally things she said that just made my stomach turn. Once she was reading this post about ways to take care of yourself and how a little bit is better than nothing at all. One of the examples given was laying down in the shower and when she read it she laughed because the idea was unfathomably comical to her. She was baffled at why that would even be a tip and it got weird when I didn't laugh along because surprise surprise I've had to lay down whilst showering and could only manage to use mouthwash instead of brush and lay in bed all day because the IDEA of getting up to feed myself took too much out of me. I know she didn't know better but it kinda stings for someone to laugh at something you've struggled through.

I can't help but feel hopeless sometimes? Like because I've had to live like this for so long I can't imagine what life must be like without it.

and this kinda translates to love too? I feel like an empty shell of a person sometimes and because I have a hard time loving myself when I feel like I'm nothing I can't fathom the idea of someone else loving me. But more than almost anything do I want that. I want to watch as someone falls in love with me and I fall in love with them. That narrative of no one can love you until you love yourself is such bullshit. You can learn how to love you through the eyes of someone else. Just because you can't practice self love doesn’t mean you're unloveable.

I push people away before they can get too close because I'm terrified of that reality and I hate that I have a dismissive and avoidant attachment style. I don't like feeling like this. I feel like Eliza at the end of Hamilton when Phillip stops singing and she just screams before crying. She's experiencing one of the worst things that could happen to a person in all of life and feels a grief beyond average comprehension. I feel like that. I shouldn't feel like that.

if you're still reading this thank you for sticking around and also sorry if this sent you into a depressive spiral as well. I just needed to unload and not feel like I'm bothering anyone. I can't be strong all the time no matter how hard I try

#this is just a long rant #that's all #it's a stream of depressive consciousness #I just needed to get it out of my system #ignore me #tw #tw depression #personal bullshit/headassery

im an amazing host tbh,,, “Hey- I have tea, coffee, coffee with foam, water, milk, juice, soda, and i could make you some food!” “Do you want some popcorn? Are you sure? Do you need a blanket?

UPDATE: ADDED LIKES/DISLIKES!!! and love tings

꧁𝙻𝚘𝚟𝚎꧂

my love language is physical touch mainly but i can channel it through making food n stuffs uwu

I rarely if ever fall in love. but when i do, i crash hard. I become putty in the person’s hands, willing to take (metaphorical) beating after beating and insults and cruelty just for their love to be reciprocated. I become totally helpless and obsessive, memorizing their schedule and things they like. Treasuring every memory of when we can be physically close to one another, platonically or not... I become my “best self” and my performance rate drastically increases, but my mental state drastically decreases. I become horribly depressed and anxious, always making meticulously calculated movements and always showing that im willing to support them with everything.

I particularly have a thing for tall guys with big shoulders.

꧁𝙻𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚜/𝙳𝚒𝚜𝚕𝚒𝚔𝚎𝚜꧂

OK THIS IS UNDERRATED BUT I LOOOVE PEWDIEPIE PLEASE DONT HATE ME I JUST LOVE HIS HUMOR ANDN,,,,, 🥺👉👈

I also like (cue the angry mob) fnaf-

homestuck and harry potter r also LIFE

i dont like when ppl are egotistical unless theyre charming,,,, bc if theyre charming i 100% feed their ego.

i HATE when people do self destructive things (IM A FUCKING HYPOCRITE) like “NO- nO dont fRICKIN do that- BAD. here, let me make you some food...”

anyways heres that promised picture if this ugly mug

Does M3lanie J R0zen have an IG? After their comments on that awful post in Addicts (the one basically blasting the people who ask for doll photo threads, that's what it ended up being anyways) about mental health and calling those with mental illness "floundering", I wanna make sure I'm not following them anywhere, don't need that negativity in my feed. Thanks in advance

time to ramble abt a weird and super real feeling dream i had that ill now try to make a story and multiple ocs out of

important: takes part across several worlds with one single connecting character. most of the ocs exist in the last, most recent world (that main oc tries his fucking best to stay in bc its actually not a complete dumpster fire)

main oc is tito (he/him, they/them, it/its on occasion)

world 0 -

doesnt remember much

his origin

died in a car(?) crash somewhere in a desert next to a broken down rv

world 1 -

wakes up semi corporeal somewhere in a desert next to a broken down rv

something bad (not defined yet) happened and a young woman is hiding in the rv from the sth bad that happened

shes looking fr her sister

tito cant help but help her out and they look for her together since 2 is better than 1

she has been looknig for help for a while

no one has been willing to since she thinks her sister is in the middle of the bad thing

(also the big city. lots of gross stuff everywhere, lots of ppl trying to murder)

no one wants to go there

they go together and nearly die a lot

both get infected w a strange illness

shes geting better, hes slowly dying

they find the sister (why she was there idk yet) and tito basicly sacrifices themself so the sisters can escape the bad thing

badly wounded he crawls away into an alley and breaks down next to some trash cans

(just remembered that somewhere in this world there was like a hill made of grey bodies all weaved together and like tunnels in there and the arms were moving and shit what)

colour here were mostly grey and brown

world 2 -

wakes up in an alley next to some trash

hears music, its a festival!!

he goes to check it out, its a sports thing w like speed and stuff!

seems like a nice place right? wrong.

that sport is forced, loser gets sacrificed to big weird monster thing

kind of a hunger games situation happens, he offers himself up so a parent isnt seperated from a child (just cant not help, its a bad decision and they get that but they just *clenches fist* hero comlpex a bit)

obviously looses, he doesnt fucking know the sport, what did he expect?

BUT the infection from world 1 did sth to him? (superpowers kinda, has no clue what anything is or does)

hes still affected by it somehow and is able to escape the ppl leading him to the monster thing to eat

finds out they picked a rando instead and feels bad

tries to save the rando

figures out monster thing is basicly a big fungus that uses ppl to carry spores

-> the infection he carries infects a spore carries and they die immediatly

quick plan: infect fungus w a disease it is completly unkonw to

doesnt work, spore carriers actually are connected to fungus, its building anti-bodies

he dies in the sewers trying to escape the ppl feeding the fungus.

world 3 -

wakes up in the sewers

THERS WERE-PPL!! dont change into any specific animal, but tend to have a favourite

theyre kinda nice, help them out, give them food

they accidentally get infected through shenanigans (it was very non-specific in the dream yo)

tries to figure out both infection based power systems here, quicker to get the were-thing since ppl aroung them actually know what that is. everything else is just weird to everyone

also - possibility of first infection evolving through each world change? didnt notice powers in world 1, only some in world 2, more here?

BUT also very little time to try and figure shit out till now

very chill for a while, hopes they can settle down and maybe not die maybe

SURPRISE children are getting kidnapped!!

by who?? to where? why??? no fucking clue!!

so tito goes to help bc thats just what theydo by now fuck

gets captured, basicly forced to do what kidnappers want w threat of children getting killed (im just gonna say they were able to do them damage for a while before the kidnappers figured out who he is/ a weakness. there was no reason anywhere)

they find a hole in the command chain, go out in a blaze of glory, all the kidnappers are gone (as far as they know)

theyre also very dead and bleed out in the middle of a field

world 4 -

HOLY SHIT WHAT IS HAPPENING

flying vampires, flesh-goo ppl (idk, the pic i remember was a lady changing into a black-greyish flesh-goo to climb up 90° walls in a seond), theres slenderman maybe????? all kinda sorta want to kill tito for the reason of...

well there has to be a reason he keeps waking up in different worlds right?

but hes not super good at thinking and they dont stop to explain it so??

arent just trying to kill him though, theres also some old man theyre going after

helps the old man, is the grandchild (adopted) of some immortal lady

she is very thankful and gives him the gift of 3 very specific magic powers of his choosing (theyre like marbles and he has to pick 3)

1. Open any door anywhere (doesnt need to be connected) and just wish to go to a place (the more specific the better)

2. Change anything he wants to into a small marble though sheer will power. has to concentrate to keep the shape

3. basicly featherfall but more controlled. actually, more like steven universe floating powers

by now the first infection is basicly a magic system of its own but its all very instinct based. poor tito has no fucning clue

the colour here were very bright, lots of flowers and sunshine and stuff

and just a fucking slenderman flying behing dream-me, blasting through houses and trees and shit?

dies after being chased by flying slender-vampire and goo lady (wasnt fighting back bc they were proctecting sth? idk what though) in like an abandoned farmhouse

world 5 -

wakes up in farmhouse, theres a person!

ocs here we go

person is helke. shes nice but kind of scary sometimes. its mostly a joke for her though

she helps him get used to the world

his powers are by now vry fucking op. but there are SO many powers here too and she fills him in

silver minds: can sense things like weapons if theyre being carried w the intent to harm them or someone they want to look out for. can redirect them against their users, or just stop them alltogether. somewhat staticy voice when stressed, very cold to the touch. born this way

schalks: completly immune to mind intrusion based powers. somewhat of a pack mentality. cannot be located if they dont want to be, very selective in what contact they want. group together for social contact, and also: need contact to eachother bc they need to share excess energy between eachother or they kinda implode. infection based, 2 schalks can have schalk bbys but not often

werewolves: ya only wolves. helke is one! grow up in packs, but adults tend to seperate from larger packs to form their own. can change whenever, super strong always, also fast when changed. just really like raw meat yk? born this way, packs can be made up from basicly anything

more im gonna add, but these i remember. not including the names

basicly helke wants to start a pack and invites him to stay since she doesnt like being alone and wants to help, and ofc he wants to help her

they meet another young werewolf (i think. big fighty and a beard. might be sth else at some point) and he joins them. this is nikola

they meet a young girl, whos a silver mind and kinda running away from home bc bad home life. her names rita.

they invite her to join the pack, which she does and pack rules are kinda big so after proving themselves as reasonably good guardians for her shes officially adopted

she runs into a lonely (very lonely, kinda dying) schalk who lost contact to their group and the pack help them find their group.

their name is an

the group becomes kinda part of the pack, but the rest of the schalk group isnt a fan of big groups of ppl, so the 4 schalks and the 4-pack live in different locations

now /someone/ notices tito like how goop-slener-vamp did in world 4 and tries to capture tito (who was hanging out w rita while that happened.

thank fuck for marble magic, so rita is safe, tito can flee to the schalks (take us somewhere safe)

an turns tito into a schalk, so he wont be found anymore so now he has to kind of move between the 2 camps a lot

on their way to and fro they meet another kid called jacko (also running away, wont say why). is taken into the pack after more safety precautions

hes just a lil human, no magic nothing

thats the story ig

tito - (he/they/it), roughly 25 (time is weird) not good at thinking, wants to be nice, wants to help, very op, kinda whimsical, very sweet person. DOES NOT WANT TO DIE AGAIN it sucks just want to be happy and make others happ, protective big sibling, everyone is their baby sib

helke - (she/her), 27 wants to help and have a big family/pack, big jokester, tries to be scary, only strangers will believe that, great at handywork and making every sort of meat food. also hunting. lumberjack vibe, chills w nikola, sports w tito, gmaes w kids

nikola - (he/him), 24 chill weed vibe. big fan of cleaning, lock your door if you dont want him to do your laundry. big into birdwatching. somehow in a pack w very intense or op folk which he finds a bit intimidating. doesnt realise hes also big intimidating. has gotten into 3 fights in his life but they were SCARY af, safe zone for tito, fun zone w tito

rita - (she/her), 15 good girl, can be kinda scary, very competetive, VERY COMPETATIVE, will draw hearts on your cast and help you and stuff, after having broken your arm, close w helke and tito

jacko - (he/him), 11 good boy, v shy, v opinionated. would have a blog if older. tried to make one but fled after 1 bad interaction. had to talk abt that a lot to understand it. arts n crafts boy, also climbing, looks up to nikola a lot

an - (they/them), 26 very quiet, thinks theyre right p much always, wants the best for everyone, but not super great at respecting ppls wishes. needs sense knocked into them every now and then. tries very hard. fails. plyam w leena and karim, not good w nikola

leena (she/them), 25, big into animals, big into food, big into random interest of the week. looses interest quickly though

karim (he/him), 26, big art, the one braincell between all the schalks (including tito bc omg BOY), draws creepy things on trees to fuck w ppl, prankster fuck

essek (he/they) 24, fashion and food, loudest of the schalks, goes into the city to get neccessities and general stuff, kinda crushing on tito, sib of karim

in general, the pack is very close. even an and nikola, but theyre kinda cold since an turned tito (tito is ok w it, nikola is big mad an didnt give tito an option, big fight 3, very fucking scary). but they do love eachother a lot, what ive noted were just the stand outs.

same w the schalks, theyre very close but i havent had any of these long enough to get a super good feel on the relationships between eeryone

but i love them already

#oc stuff #oof #very long post #the dream was seriously wild and this is much less so ig #idk what happens anymore i worked on this for like 3 hours now help #send asks abt the ocs if you wanna i could use the help to flesh them out

Dawn Estelle Archer Makes Astonishing Transformation, Becomes Fitness Instructor

estellearcher / Instagram

Dawn Estelle Archer may be a fitness instructor and Instagram sensation now, but she didn't always live the healthy lifestyle for which she's become known.

At 31 years old, Archer is the fittest and healthiest she's ever been, thanks to a five-year fitness journey that changed her life. She began teaching her own classes, called SWEAT, in a parking lot in 2013, according to her website. Since then, she's opened her own studio, traveled the U.S., and inspired countless people along the way with her own transformation and body-positive attitude.

[RELATED1]

Here are just a few reasons the Virginia-based fitness star inspires us:

First of all, she's not afraid to share her starting point with her 213,000-plus followers to show that everyone starts somewhere, and anyone can make the decision to live a more active, healthy lifestyle:

EMBRACE the body you work hard for. Results or no results. If you make a conscious effort to eat better + to exercise...WEAR THAT SHT + own it. #bodypositive -Estelle

A post shared by xo dawnestelle (@estellearcher) on Aug 27, 2017 at 7:42pm PDT

She doesn't keep secrets, either. She lets her followers know exactly how she did it—and you won't find any crazy-complicated recipes or insanely expensive cleanses on her social media feeds:

Waking up excited to work out is still a little foreign to me. P R E lifestyle change id wake up ready to eat. typically a meal which I would have planned the night before. I'd lay around + watch tv for a few hours until another meal. My life/days were molded around what I was eating. my C U R R E N T lifestyle choice is to wake up, eat something ive prepped (a fresh juice or #mealprep ) + go exercise + I hardly watch any tv at home anymore. Making the choice to be healthy or to work on your mental peace is not easy but its possible. so possible

A post shared by xo dawnestelle (@estellearcher) on Sep 9, 2017 at 5:42am PDT

We love a girl who shares healthy recipe secrets, and lots of her posts feature totally doable, all-natural juice recipes:

Typical Sunday Juice Fest... Juiced a little more than my typical "2 days then re-up" so that my sister could have some morning juices. Pineapples.Mint.Ginger.Tumeric.GrannySmithApples.Lemons.Romaine.Cucumbers.FlatParsley.Spinach.CurlyKale.ItalianKale Made 14 juices (only used 1 pineapple) FACTS about my juicing are in my ebook or on my IG. Ill post one of the new recipes after this post.

A post shared by xo dawnestelle (@estellearcher) on Sep 24, 2017 at 1:29pm PDT

She also knows just what to say. As if her transformation photos aren't inspiring enough, she always shares motivational words with followers to drive the message home:

I always remind myself where I started. It's about being the best version of myself. I felt free after my class this morning. I felt like every time I yelled, I let go of a piece of pain, a thought of worry + oh... a couple hundred calories. Why do you exercise?

A post shared by xo dawnestelle (@estellearcher) on May 13, 2017 at 10:09am PDT

And on top of it all, she totally slays:

My body is healthy; my mind is clear; my soul is tranquil. . . #MyDailyAffirmation . . Mental health is just as important as physical health. suit is from ross $8

A post shared by xo dawnestelle (@estellearcher) on Sep 22, 2017 at 8:26am PDT

Instagram's New Mental Health Campaign Is Just What Our Phones Need

Here’s one way to use social media as a force for good.

Instagram launched a new campaign this week, called #HereForYou, as a way to increase the conversation around mental health as part of Mental Health Awareness Month. The hashtag asks people to share their own photos along with their experiences with conditions like anxiety or eating disorders.

The social media platform kicked off the initiative by telling the stories of three people living with mental health disorders, all of whom used Instagram as a way to cope with their own conditions.

Every day, people use Instagram to share their mental health journeys and connect with communities of support. I'm so inspired by these empowering voices and the team that worked on this important moment. #hereforyou

A post shared by Alison Presley Campion (@apresley) on May 8, 2017 at 11:47am PDT

Elyse Fox, one of the advocates featured in the campaign’s video, said that she hopes the initiative sends the message to users that they don’t have to suffer in silence.

“This campaign can put you in touch with millions of people all over the world with the touch of a button,” Fox said. “You never know how your story can affect someone in a positive way or make them feel like they’re not alone.”

Fox, who created the Instagram account Sad Girls Club as a way to talk about her own mental health journey, first started experiencing depression when she was a child.

She felt as though she had to keep what she was going through quiet and didn’t seek help until she was in college. Her goal is to share her story through #HereForYou so others don’t wait so long to get support. She also wants the campaign to help erase the feelings of shame that often come with a mental health issues.

“You can definitely get a support system by being more open on social media,” she said. “It’s been nothing but a positive experience for me and I encourage others to do the same.”

“Pretty Little Liars” star Troian Bellisario also joined the charge by using the hashtag on her own account. She also praised the social media app for creating a space where people can talk about their mental health.

“No one should suffer in silence,” she wrote. “There is no shame in asking for help. Take this moment to let someone know we are #hereforyou.”

I want to thank @instagram for continually creating a safe space for people to have conversations about mental health. I have seen & heard many brave people speak out about their own ever changing relationship to their mental illness; the ups & the downs, the triumphs & the pain. IG is a visual platform BUT many have used this space for more than just posting images. They have found communities and friends who support them, and places where they can speak openly and honestly about their lives. May is Mental Health Awareness month in America and @instagram asked me to join them on @goodmorningamerica with @robinrobertsgma & @marnelevine to talk about the new ways in which they are supporting these conversations and communities and how I chose to speak about my own experience with my upcoming film #FeedtheMovie . No one should suffer in silence. There is no shame in asking for help. Take this moment to let someone know we are #hereforyou

A post shared by Troian Bellisario (@sleepinthegardn) on May 8, 2017 at 5:01am PDT

An estimated one in five American adults will experience a mental health issue in a given year. But even though mental illness is so common, there are still negative stereotypes attached to it which can cause feelings of shame.

Studies show this stigma often prevents people from seeking help and also makes those living with a condition feel like others aren’t caring or sympathetic toward their experience. That’s what makes movements like #HereForYou so vital. They convey that there are people out there who do understand.

Of course, social media platforms like Instagram aren’t perfect when it comes to managing mental health. In some cases, they may even exacerbate it: Research suggests that excessive social media use can lead to depressive symptoms and increased feelings of loneliness.

There’s also criticism that social media contributes to issues through users posting images that could be triggering or by acting as a vehicle for harassment. And while social media companies work to combat these missteps through awareness campaigns and features like disabling comments, there’s still a long way to go before social media is considered a fully positive corner of the internet.

But there’s something to be said for creating more public awareness in a space that reaches millions of people. But it’s not the medium in which people discuss mental health that’s the most important ― it’s the message itself. Getting people to talk ― no matter how ― is crucial.

“If you aren’t dealing with [a mental health issue] there’s a chance you know someone who is,” Fox said. “I just want everyone to be more open and accepting to other people’s feelings. This campaign is definitely a step in normalizing that conversation.”

We’ll certainly give a “heart” for that cause.

Instagram's New Mental Health Campaign Is Just What Our Phones Need

Here’s one way to use social media as a force for good.

The social media platform kicked off the initiative by telling the stories of three people living with mental health disorders, all of whom used Instagram as a way to cope with their own conditions.

Elyse Fox, one of the advocates featured in the campaign’s video, said that she hopes the initiative sends the message to users that they don’t have to suffer in silence.

Fox, who created the Instagram account Sad Girls Club as a way to talk about her own mental health journey, first started experiencing depression when she was a child.

“You can definitely get a support system by being more open on social media,” she said. “It’s been nothing but a positive experience for me and I encourage others to do the same.”

“No one should suffer in silence,” she wrote. “There is no shame in asking for help. Take this moment to let someone know we are #hereforyou.”
