Dude The Dwarf Fortress Devs Are Awesome, Tbh. Its Extremely Refreshing To See Normal People Get Rewarded

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but please don’t break promises you make to yourself just because it’s you the promise is being made to. You told yourself you’d go on a walk with tomorrow morning? Do it. You said you’d set more consistent with your skincare routine? Make it happen. You promised yourself you would work on establishing boundaries regardless of who’s on the other side of them? Follow through with that. Don’t wake up the next day and go “well I don’t HAVE to do this” “it wouldn’t hurt to postpone this” “this isn’t a big deal” because it literally is. Every promise broken is another nail in the coffin of your self-actualization. It’s another major roadblock to developing healthy self-love and self-respect. Weigh promises you’ve made to yourself the same way you would weigh promises you’ve made to others.

i genuinely cannot put into words how much damage these tiktok "educators" are doing to the ramcoa community. there is already huge issues with survivors being unable to access therapy not even because of the uptick in people claiming it, but because of the fact that so many dissociative specialists don't fucking advertise that they're dissociative specialists anymore because of the faking tiktok shit. this is not even a speculatory thing, this is a real thing that's happening.

what the fuck happens when they start seeing organized abuse, which is already highly HIGHLY fucking stigmatized and ritual abuse which is largely disbelieved by the professional community due to the satanic panic and FMSF situations, as trends on social fucking media? what happens when our resources GENUINELY get taken away from us? what happens then?

i am begging you guys to use critical thinking skills. if people don't cite jack shit for sources when asked, or if they're claiming they're making some beneficial source like the stupid fucking alpha through omega of programming shit legion made and says "i used sources" at the end but never fucking lists them, don't listen to them! literally even if their source is "i extrapolated this information from the resources i have read like (examples provided) and i was able to draw a conclusion from them because this is a common trend among them" that is SO much better than the bullshit these fuckers are pulling.

do you know how tiring it is to answer the same five questions over and over and over again? do you know how tiring it is to rehash the exact same point you've been making for the last two months because some fuckwad on tiktok says "no that's not true :)" and then people are asking you about it again and it's just running in fucking circles?

we are not a trend. we are real people.

bro no i swear im not a masochist i just fucked up my parry timing. i just fucked up my parry timing is all. hit me again im ready this time

Tumblr, Pinterest and Spotify are portals that lead me further inside my own head, to a world of my own making.

ok so this is the worst thing ive ever drawn

Think systems with a high number of fictional introjects are a new phenomena? Kluft's paper on polyfragmented/extremely complex DID from 1988 includes a patient with LOTR introjects, and another based off of Shakespear's Tempest. Fictional introjects have been a thing for a very long time!

FURTHERMORE why is "karkat" suddenly a pioneer for domestic chores? how did i get sucked into the most boring game of chicken??

rereading homestuck for the first time since i was 16 and now my mental landscape (headspace? idk we just call it da narrative) has changed drastically. i think? actually it feels like it shed some light onto the more obscure corners and returned language to me.

the effects from the epilogues and BC are astounding though.

sometimes you just have to let yourself be a bit neurodivergent.

i hate going out, it gives me a lot of anxiety and sensory input that i dont like, and i am often forced to talk to people.

so i do this thing on more difficult days, or sometimes just for fun, where i "bring a fictional character with me". i walk and imagine Fictional Character walking next to me. they talk to me, reassure me, hype me up, whatever i need them to do.

today dean winchester came christmas shopping with me. he went over the list with me of stuff i needed to get, told me i was doing a good job every time i finished in a certain shop, reminded me to take a deep breath when i got a little overwhelmed.

and yea. its kinda silly. and i know its just me talking to myself in a different voice, but it Works! especially since all of my special interests/hyperfixations tend to be tv/movie related.

so do what you gotta do to Get Shit Done. stop holding yourself to neurotypical standards. if you need Fictional Character to tell you you're doing a good job, do it! if you need Favourite Singer to walk you to school, do it! yea it might feel silly but you're literally fighting against your own brain to get stuff done every single day. you can have a little self indulgent daydream, as a treat.

happy birthday to the game ever <333
