tumblr is just my agony dump now

the only irl who follows me here is nic so it's fine and i can safely.. agonydump.. with no repercussions...

im genuinely in so much pain lmao like.. i thought they were being dramatic when they say "everything hurts" but wow... EVERYTHING HURTS LOL... idk if it's because my body is tense all the time from anxiety/ptsd/general feeling of having to defend myself or if it's because my body for some reason reflects my emotional state, but.. it HURTS

when i'm acutely sad i get acute pains and aches in my gut and lower back so i guess it does make sense that when i'm d*pressed i receive low-level aches and pains...? but why am i having a 4-day long low-intensity migraine/pressure headache/whatever this is. why does my neck feel so stiff all the time. why are random muscles in my upper back and shoulders hurting in isolation. why is it hard to breathe. what's going on with my body like is it me p*riod?? is it depression kicking in again?? is it because i'm going into withdrawal because of the 1-week pill break or what?? how do i fix this so i can 1. sleep 2. function normally 3. finish writing this god damn essay T_T

Seven years after, I see you again 😚

Guys this completely changed my writing, heed it. I often do an entire draft just looking at sentence variation and oftentimes the results are absolutely transformative in the difference.

[officialleehadan]

This is very very good advice, and absolutely worth following. Read this. Read it again. Follow it. Your writing will get much, much better.

I think that more fanfiction should be written with the aim to tackle the original meaning of hanahaki. Because when the concept of hanahaki disease was originally created, it was intended to be a metaphor for suppressing one’s feelings.

Your feelings are this beautiful garden of flora inside of your chest. When you express how you feel honestly, you allow for it to grow freely. But when you hide how you feel out of fear of rejection, and try to make it smaller and smaller, the flowers become cramped inside of you, until you choke on your own feelings. Every flower you cough up is something you’ve felt, but refused to say.

The whole “dying” thing is intended to be more symbolic especially. You’re killing off bits and pieces of yourself and how you feel, because you’re afraid to express yourself.

It’s not really supposed to be, “The one I love doesn’t love me back, and I’m dying from it.” Rather, it’s more along the lines of, “Repressing your emotions is bad for you, and it’s better and healthier to express them freely, even when it’s scary.”

Which is to say that, one, the cure for the disease should be telling the person that you are in love with how you feel. How the other person feels about the person afflicted should have nothing to do with it, as the trope is meant to be about feeling your emotions unapologetically.

And that, two, it’s not an inherently romantic trope. Obviously, it has romantic applications, but it can be written for any situation where a character is hiding how they truly feel. This can include a refusal to address a specific trauma, a desire to indulge in something that they’re ashamed of, and even really practical things, like wanting to ask one’s boss for a higher position.

Although (as an aromantic person myself) I don’t agree with this conclusion about the trope, this application would also avoid people calling it arophobic. When the thing killing the character is a refusal to be honest with themselves, rather than an unrequited love, it’s on nobody’s hands but their own to save their life.

There are a ton of ways that this interpretation of the hanahaki disease could be applied in new and interesting ways in fanfiction, and I’d love to read what things people could come up with!

Rolled up the living room rug to clean my apartment/make dinner on roller skates because I suddenly remembered that I’m an adult with free will…..Life is beautiful

[abortionado]

i used to think you cant write ace attorney characters as anything other than lawyers, because theyre all so obsessed with being lawyers. ive since changed my mind, because i think you just need to make them the same amount of insane about whatever other job youre giving them and then itll still be in character. this is first shown in layton vs wright when phoenix is mindcontrolled into thinking he is a professional baker. (you need to play that game if you havent yet.) apollo justice would absolutely make being an electrician his entire personality. franziska von karma would convince herself that driving a bus is her calling to the point of screaming until she throws up when she breaks her gas pedal foot and has to be dragged off the job until she recovers

They need to invent more fake celebrities like Hatsune Miku and Gorillaz and the Muppets because it's genuinely the most sustainable way to maintain a parasocial relationship with the entertainer class.

[yuri-alexseygaybitch]

Kermit the Frog can never get canceled because Kermit the Frog has no agency or personhood beyond what he is imbued with by the collective labor of puppeteers, voice actors, singers, and writers. He is, along with these other examples, effectively a celebrity by gestalt. He has transcended the inherit instability of the celebrity class through diffusion of responsibility for his personhood. He is a god.

That last panel looks so peaceful. Sure they’re tired, but they’re genuinely enjoying themselves. Props to the artist for being able to convey such an interesting expression.

[samfodo]

Except you don't need to stick your faces together/use tongue for a kiss to be "good".

These are two middle-aged men who probably haven't had any experience kissing someone they love, so they're obviously gonna be a bit out of practice.

I know that it was passionate and sweet, and they deserve that.

[lizardsister]
