A rolling wave. Painting details from: Arabesques, by Daniel Adel.

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

I actually, genuinely think social event aftercare would fix me. I need someone to put me to bed and say "you were fun today and no one hated you"

#theres a thing called 'larp drop' thats essentially this#esp since when having a great time you might be more inclined to disregard your limits and ignore discomfort#(and forget to eat/drink if its larp whoops)#and then once you have a moment to yourself it all comes crashing in#source: once forgot to eat at larp and had a sobbing fit in my car that ended the instant i bit into a chicken nugget - @queerfarmgremlin

this is also true of festivals, conventions, pride parades, concerts, and any situation where you have a lot of fun with other people!

Strategies (beyond taking care of your body) that can help:

Taper off - Slowly reduce the intensity of social interaction to avoid a jarring end. Linger at the door to say your goodbyes, find a carpool home, or just stay a little later than usual and let the event break up naturally around you.

Get into a different headspace - You just replaced a stimulating activity (socializing) with something much less stimulating, so find something to keep your brain or body busy. I like to do something that gets me in touch with my body, like helping to clean up after an event, walking or biking home, or taking a hot shower.

Process - you just had an experience! Try talking it over with someone, journaling, making art, etc. This is also a good chance to check that you are happy with the social experience and make notes about anything you'd like to handle differently next time.

I love that they're in differing amounts of allowance, too.

"None of these words are in the Bible": fully opposed, there is no written acceptance.

"This, too, is Torah and I must learn": entirely on board, wants more to happen.

"By Allah you people are dogs. I will reblog as always": "ew guys. really? ... lemme in."

Caged Fangs~ Part of my Cage Dress series. I've been so busy with other things, it's nice to finish a proper painting again. Here's a quick timelapse of how I painted it. The full hours long videos, HD image and PSD files will be DMed on my Patreon on June 5th.
