“Tall Handsome Apron Wearing Older Husband”

Main blog for posting and reblogging sillies! Currently interested in Deltarune (Euroblasian) (He/Him) (20) (AKA Cowboytoyarts and Haddocks-Laddie) I reblog things that might be suggestive or have heavy content so beware.

If your tags were genuine and you’re offering to doodle something for Tenna votes… I voted for Tenna… could you please draw Tenna in a cute bikini…? (Don’t feel pressured to— if you don’t want to draw that feel free to delete this ask.)

the more i learn about the ties between stress and nervous system disregulation and "mental illness" and physical health issues and what things outside talk therapy are therapeutic the more im like. damn many early cultures & indigenous societies had this shit figured out and the modern world is absolutely one big wellbeing shredder

to really boil it down to essentials like ...

childhood trauma is overwhelmingly common

childhood trauma creates long term stress which leads to nervous system disregulation [same source]

nervous system disregulation leads to inflammation in the brain

inflammation in the brain leads to "mental illnesses" like schizophrenia, major depression, and ptsd

these things contribute to stress, ensuring the stress stays chronic as well as the nervous system disregulation, which leads to physical illness and premature death

and then you look at like ...

spending time in green spaces like forests and blue spaces like oceans and rivers are both therapeutic

singing (especially group singing) boosts your immune system, mood, and regulates your nervous system

exercise regulates your nervous system and alleviates "mental illness" symptoms

playing is therapeutic and integrates your emotions and identity even in the face of trauma

and its like. oh okay. as modern cultures we barely have time for and are discouraged from participating in all the things we evolved to thrive with while constantly heaping on the amount of stress we can possibly fit in our day to day lives

and its like well no wonder people love concerts and karaoke and national parks and sports and going to the beach and playing games. these things Literally make us healthier

but also we need to make these things more regular parts of our lives if we're gonna have the endurance to fight rising global capitalism, fascism, and genocide

so my tips for Surviving All This Shit:

go to the park or be around a body of water at least once a week. schedule a time & make it part of your routine

exercise for 20-30 minutes most days, whether its walking around your neighborhood, playing a sport, lifting weights while you watch tv, swimming, etc

sing with your friends. go to local concerts. sing to your pets. sing at religious services. join a choir

play a game at least once a week. obv my recommendation is ttrpgs (anything but d&d 5e, i beg), but this also includes any video game that's not online competitive games against strangers. playing video games for 30 minutes a day but not over 3 hours a day is literally healthy for you

stop looking at traumatic news if youre not going to do anything about it. if you read a news article and then go volunteer, get involved in a community, donate money, or engage in activism, that's awesome!! keep it up. if you read the news regularly and it makes you upset and scared and depressed and then youre too overwhelmed to do anything about it Please Stop For Real you're both not helping the situation and also actively literally killing yourself. find one topic to engage with, find a way to make a difference for that topic, and delete the news app from your phone im being so real right now

read nonfiction by indigenous authors! this is just a general tip but also like. open your mind to other ways of society operating. it was not always like this and does not have to stay this way. if you see a recommendation post on here seriously look at the recs and try to get one from your library. there's a rec list of indigenous nonfiction here and another rec list here for some options that could be good to start with (both very north america focused). you can also search "indigenous nonfiction" in the tumblr search to see what others are reading. i'm currently making my way through braiding sweetgrass and indigenous economics is next on my list

like. we can and will survive this but it's going to be a much harder and longer fight if we're all riddled with so much stress that our bodies and minds break apart. go look at a tree 👍 play a game 👍 sing with your friends 👍 it could literally change your life & the world

i'm sure people are curious about why i like to draw tenna as a small child/baby with the dreemurrs sometimes, so i wrote down some thoughts below the cut.

this is a discussion of how i see darkners, and tenna specifically. take from it as you will.

for me, tenna has a lot of themes that surround family, nostalgia and lost childhood innocence. they're there in the EN version of deltarune, obviously, but they're even more pronounced in the japanese localization of deltarune, where he speaks like a children's show host.

small mike already establishes that he likes childish things — like bedtime programs and being tucked into bed. but tenna also slips into childish ways of speaking.

in japanese, this is pretty obvious: he changes his personal pronoun from "watashi" to "boku" (a pronoun mainly used by young boys), and he refers to a lot of objects in babyish ways ("okane-chan", "pluey-chan", "channel-chan.") but i'd argue this style of speaking also shows up in english ("i don't wanna be thrown away...", "i wanna see my li'l pluey!")

"okay mado but what does all of this have to do with your thoughts on darkners"

i'll cut to the chase. i don’t see darkners as simply one-to-one people, but as living dreams — ephemeral existences (based on light world objects) that reflect the thoughts and feelings of the people who created them...

the first comparison i had in mind were the penguins in mawaru penguindrum, where their interactions with each other often pointed to the true feelings of the takakura family members they represented.

like, when you look at king, his cruel behavior mirrors susie's when she had her emotional walls up. when you see queen, she's likely mirroring carol with her misguided, controlling but genuine love for noelle.

and coming back to tenna... he has traits and behaviors that stem from memories of all of the dreemurrs (that we know of, anyways. )

calling toriel "tori" like asgore, making corny puns like toriel... and if dr's asriel is anything like ut's asriel, his reluctance for the games, and the time with his loved ones, to end.

and then we get to kris, the creator of tenna's dark world. it's established in ch4 that the dark worlds (and their inhabitants) reflect the thoughts and feelings of their creators, and i think it's especially true for tv world — and for tenna.

people have already talked about tenna's overlaps with kris, but to come back to my own take, i think i'd argue that he experiences some of kris's childhood memories as though they were his own.

the most famous example being the pipes scene:

tenna (ch3): "i'm sorry about the pipes. i knew. i knew i shouldn't have done it. but you know, every pipe goes SOMEWHERE! they had to go SOMEWHERE!!!" toriel (ch2): "you did not put a bath bomb in the toilet again, did you? kris, if anything bad happens, you are paying for the plumbing bill."

so when i draw tenna as a child/baby with the dreemurrs, you could take it literally... or you could take it in a more doylist approach — where he's not really "experiencing" these memories. rather, they're kris’s memories with his face pasted over them, because he's their creation.
