I had a clear vision with this one.

I did NOT need to spend that much time on this BUT DAMN IT IT’S FUNNY-

Context: Peppino was annoying the fuck outta’ him and it got so bad he wanted to take him home.

He was done with his bullshit- 💀

honestly i think the counterpush against the toxic notions of “love will fix you” and “i can love them better” have swung too far and now people are saying things like “you can’t love someone else until you love yourself” and “it’s unhealthy to seek comfort from your partner when you’re mentally ill”

like let’s be fr here. the number one most effective intervention for mental illness is social support. i honestly think the devaluation of friendships and other non-romantic sources of emotional support has contributed to this issue — the common unhealthy extremes being “your romantic partner will heal you with love” and “you need to heal yourself on your own.” expecting a mentally ill person to recover entirely alone is not only cruel, it’s unrealistic and infeasible without social support. thus, it’s normal and healthy to rely on your romantic partner for comfort and support. it’s just that it BECOMES unhealthy if they are the only or the main source of comfort and support in a mentally ill person’s life.

so no, dating someone who loves you won’t fix your mental illness. but not having to cope with it alone damn well helps.

reminder to not give chronically ill/pained people advice on how to handle their chronic issues. i live with it. i know what helps and what hurts. sometimes it's just that nothing will help and i want to do things that are fun even if it means i hurt also. i will hurt either way.

shaundes is stuck in my head again, so I'm gonna make this everyone's problem. Now imagine desmond gets a severe migrane and shaun is the only one there to help him.

(Ac brotherhood) (desmonds perspective)

I sat up from the animus. I could already tell I had been inside for too long. I felt nauseous and lightheaded, and I could feel the start of a headache.

I carefully stood up, bracing myself against the crate next to me. I looked around the sanctuary and noticed that Shaun was the only other person.

I flicked on Eagle Vision, and the world became basked in a gray light. Shaun became a brilliant blue light, but other than him, no one else was in the sanctuary.

"Where's Rebecca and Lucy?" I asked.

Shaun glanced over his shoulder at me. "Getting supplies."

I nodded. Having nothing else to do, I decided to head over to Shaun to see what he was doing.

As I walked over to him, the pain in my head seemed to be getting worse, I tried to ignore it, but that didn't seem to work.

I made it over to his desk, I had to lean against it to stop myself from doubling over. Shaun stared at me. "You look terrible, are you alright?"

I blinked, trying to clear the fog from my mind. "Yeah, just spent too long in the animus."

He stood up from his chair. "You look like you're about to pass out. You should go lay down." I noted that he had no snarky comments for me, I must really look like shit.

He put a hand on my back to guide me over to where I had been sleeping the past week. But as I started to move, pain shot through my head.

My vision became spotted, and my ears started ringing. I nearly fell onto Shaun. I quickly leaned back on the desk to stabilize myself.

Shaun helped me steady myself. "Desmond, are you alright?"

I blinked away the spots in my vision. "Yeah, just a bad migraine, I'll be fine."

He shook his head. "I barely moved you, and you nearly passed out. You need to sit down."

I nodded, moving to sit down on the ground. But even just moving a bit felt like someone was smashing my head in with a bat.

Shaun sat down next to me, "I'm going to call Rebecca and Lucy."

I shook my head. "No, I'll be fine."

He gave me an "Are you serious?" Look. "Alright, try and stand up."

I glared at him. "That's not fair I-" mid sentence, I got hit with another wave of pain and nausea. If I had eaten anything today, no doubt I would have puked.

I clutched my head as I pressed my forehead against my knees. I snapped my eyes shut in an attempt to stop the light shining in my eyes.

I felt Shaun begin to rub my back, I tried to look up, but moving my head felt like a gunshot. My brain was foggy from the pain, I could barely think, let alone move.

Shaun said something, but I couldn't make it out from the loud ringing in my ears.

I felt tears stinging my eyes, I silently cursed, I knew crying would make my migrane worse. I quickly blinked away the tears. Beside me, Shaun spoke again.

"Desmond, you need to lay down." I felt an arm around my shoulder gently tug at me, trying to get me to lay down.

I obliged, and my head rested on Shaun's leg. Under normal circumstances, I would be embarrassed, but right now, my head hurt so bad that I could barely think, let alone be embarrassed.

Another wave of pain hit me. This one was worse than the other two. I just sucked in a sharp breath and tried not to show how much pain I was in.

It was very difficult, though, because I could feel myself about to pass out from the pain. I tried to stay conscious, but I was fighting a losing battle. Soon, I passed out.

I don't know how long I was out for, I knew it couldn't have been long though, because when I woke up, Shaun was on the phone with Lucy.

"Lucy, he's waking up. I'll call you back." He quickly hung up the phone before looking down at me.

I groaned, my head still hurt, but now it was more of a bad headache than getting my head smashed in.

"How long was I out for?" I asked.

"About 10 minutes, not long." He tried to keep his face calm, but I could tell he was worried.

I sat up, now remembering my head was still on his lap. He put a hand on my shoulder. "Take it easy. Don't want you passing out again."

I nodded. "Thanks, and sorry about passing out on you." I said sheepishly.

He simply shook his head. "You've been spending how much time in that animus? It's to be expected."

"Yeah, thank you still." I said while looking up at him.

He met my gaze. From this angle, I could see the details of his eyes, I noticed he had gold flecks in the hazel of his eyes.

Before I could stare more, behind us, I heard Lucy and Rebecca rush into the sanctuary.

"Desmond! Shaun told us you passed out. Are you alright?" Lucy called out while setting down her bags.

I peeled my eyes away from Shaun to look at Lucy. "Yeah, I'm fine, I was already sitting down, so I didn't get hurt."

She quickly rushed over to me. "Still, have that bad of a reaction to the animus isn't a good sign."

"Just a bad migrane, I'm fine."

"That's what you said before you passed out." Shaun stated.

"Shut up!" I said while lightly pushing his shoulder.

He gave an overdramatic gasp. "After everything I've done for you!" He cried while wiping a fake tear from his eye.

Lucy laughed. "Alright guys, can we please focus."

"Fine." I said while rolling my eyes.

After a lengthy explanation and assuring them 1000 times that, no, I was not hallucinating during the migrane. They finally let me go rest. Which was nice because I was tired and desperately needed a nap.

I curled up in my pile of blankets set up in the corner of the sanctuary. My head was still throbbing, and I still felt a bit nauseous, but I've had worse.

I heard someone walking towards me. I looked up to see Shaun. I smiled up at him, and he sat down next to me.

"How you doing?" He asked.

"Great." I said sarcastically.

He chuckled. "You gave us a scare there."

I winced. "Sorry."

"It's fine. Just try to get some rest, alright."

I nodded before closing my eyes. Shaun was still next to me. I didn't mind. It wasn't long before I drifted off.
