A friend wanted to see what Ekko would look like if she was Huey and Wakko's biological child and I might have fallen a bit in love with her design.

Her original design (when she is their adoptive daughter) is under the cut <3

( reference by @awhphooey and I might post this on it's on at some point lol )

The update is that you take the high road and try to relieve yourself of these frustrations by joking around with your coworkers and a spatula instead

Worst thing about working with knives is that you weigh out the pros and cons of just letting it ‘slip’ and slice you open

People think being self aware cancels out mental illness. That when you realise your thoughts or behaviours are irrational you just stop having/doing them

Instead what happens if you're extremely self aware and mentally ill is that you just think in a resigned kind of way "I'm being really fucking crazy right now" while being very loudly mentally ill

Sometimes you are able to tell the people around you "oh, you can ignore me rn. I'm just being extremely mentally ill rn. It will eventually pass" and then continue your erratic behaviour. But mostly it's just privately thinking: "well this is embarrassing but I can't turn it off so just gotta deal with it I guess."

It's infuriating honestly
