depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

it's literally sooooo unfair that humans don't get to have these little tails they're so cute

Contrary to popular belief, delivering flowers is a very dangerous job.

i know that a:tla did an excellent job with coming up with new critters that were just two animals put together, but like, i gotta give credit to whoever designed the deer-foxes on hilda:

Writing romance without amatonormativity :)

First of all, yes, you don't need to have amatonormativity in a romance story/novel/whatever. even if the plot is something like "character starts believing in true love for whatever reason".

Soooo here are some things to keep in mind while writing romance. [DISCLAIMER: these are not writing tips, these are just a few things you should avoid having in your romance story]

The character is unhappy without the romance. having the characters become happier because of love is okay, but not love being the only thing that would make the character happy

The side characters' only job is to get the mcs together in the "best interest" of the mc they might be the mc's family or friends. this does not include them trying to speed up the process/ giving love advice but instead, deliberately finding a love interest/partner for the mc or setting them up with one and justifying this with their intent to "solve the character's loneliness" or something alone those lines

Life before the romance / life without the romance is depicted as dull or boring or meaningless for either the mcs or the side characters

Making their friends low priority after the introduction of the love interest for example, the love interest taking up all the time of the mc so much so that they're not able to meet their friends, the friends shown as just fillers in the "friends" category without them being actually close to each other

Having the love interest being "more than a friend" like putting friends, lovers, etc. on a hierarchy. a good way to go about the friends-to-lovers trope would be making them friends and lovers instead of treating friends as a stepping stone/checkpoint for their relationship

so these were some points that i could think of. feel free to add more or elaborate on these.

pride 2022

today i went to pride, and i want to remind as many people as i can, that while pride started as a riot, we never faded out of that. pride is, always has been, and will continue to be, a protest. today i saw signs protesting roe v wade’s overturning. people screaming that QUEER IS NOT A DIRTY WORD. groups marching in the streets to protest gun violence and the cruelty of cops. this is important. our voices are powerful.

but even quieter, i saw mothers who wore signs and shirts offering free hugs. i accepted a few, and they would whisper to me how loved and valid i was. there were two girls wearing lesbian flags as capes kissing while crying. people of all genders topless, wearing skimpy clothing, wearing modest clothing, wearing makeup and skirts and shorts. i met a father whose husband gave me a flag to wave when mine broke. i had dogs run up to me with dye in their fur and lick my hand and my friend’s hand. there were genderfluid people, nonbinary people, agender people, trans people, all existing freely without the societal constraints of gender. i saw dozens of flags, and every single one was so fucking valid. you are all so fucking valid.  remember, pride is a protest, in so many different ways.

Why do you reblog your own fics so much?

Because someone might as well!? And look at this. Look. At. This.

Does this look right to you??

These are just the last three fics I wrote. I appreciate the likes, believe me I do, but you have to understand. Likes do nothing for content creators. It’s the reblogs. Because that’s how you find shit on your dashboard. Through reblogs. Not likes. This isn’t twitter or tiktok or instagram. This is a website that’s run by the reblog system.

Reblogging helps content creators put their stuff out there. Why do you think so many people stopped writing fanfic and creating beautiful fanart and edits? It’s because they put in hours of work and don’t get nearly enough notes for their masterpieces. Yes we do this because we enjoy it but like…some validation won’t hurt. A boost of confidence here and there might be all someone needs to finish whatever thing they started and left.

Anyway, I’m still going to reblog my shit…
