I can still never get over why they said

[cloudabserk]

“fujoshis are harmful to gay men” not this gay man.

[cloudabserk]

on twitter this got a bunch of responses like “wow even the evil fujoshis? the homophobic yet hypocritically fetishistic ones? what if the fujoshi is racist?” and like well no obviously not in that case.

[cloudabserk]

“shoutout to everybody from new jersey!” “even the new jersey serial killers…?”

Between art fight posting- here's another bullshit AU. Swap concept (in VERY loose terms) where Kirby and Meta are the "gooeyfied" creatures instead of gooey.

seeing people say "this trope has been done to death" as if that's ever stopped anyone from eating bread. BREAD HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH FOR LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND WE STILL WANT MORE BREAD. write your chosen one AU. write your coffee shop meet-cute. write your 47th iteration of "there was only one bed" because guess what??? we're still hungry.

Real thing that changed how i write: I started asking "what does this character think is wrong with them" and separately "what is actually wrong with them." Those two things are almost never the same. She thinks she's too much. She's actually terrified of being too little. He thinks he's bad at commitment. He's actually just never met someone he trusted enough. The gap between their diagnosis of themselves and the real thing, that's your character arc right there. you don't have to explain it. just write both.

Hey do you know what rumination is?

Rumination is probably the most common type of OCD compulsion, but I rarely see anyone talking about it. I've talked to multiple people diagnosed with OCD who didn't even recognize it as a compulsion.

Basically, if you have OCD you have terrible intrusive thoughts. They can be about anything, but common themes are fear of being a bad person, fear of hurting someone, fear of contamination. etc.

Rumination is when you get stuck in a spiral. Rumination is when you spend hours catastrophizing, overthinking, analyzing, telling yourself it's going to be okay.

I'll say it again:

Rumination is a compulsion.

Rumination is a compulsion, and that means you have to stop doing it.

I did ERP (exposure response prevention) for my OCD with a therapist! For 9 months! And it did help, but the idea didn't really click until I found this website a couple years later.

And Oh My God. It made things make so much more sense, and I was able to pull myself out of an episode even though I wasn't in therapy or on meds at the time.

Genuinely if you have OCD, or even if you suspect you have OCD, I'm begging you to read some of these articles.

Like this was genuinely life changing for me.

Here are some of the ones that were most helpful to me:

Defining Rumination

How to Stop Ruminating

ERP Exercises for Compulsive Rumination

What to Do When You're Triggered

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Just want to add that if you're on the spectrum, you may also experience Autistic Rumination, which is distinct from the obsessive variety, despite the two having some overlapping characteristics!

Love that you’re making it clear exactly what physical demands this job has, but could you possibly, potentially, phrase it differently?

i feel like this is more funny

[catmask]

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

"it's time to surface, (unintelligible, possibly "back to people), the vacation is over. oh blyat, a grenade. what sort of moron keeps the...-boom-"

[spainy-spoon]

Can't help but appreciate how well the body language translates through VR.

The frantic head turning while looking for a place to stash the grenade, the double take as they realize the drawer they chose was FULL of grenades, and the "WTF" hand gesture as they point in disbelief at the drawer full of grenades? Chef's kiss.

i think to be in a happy longbig relationship you gotta be best friends first and foremost. like no matter how developed the romantic side gets, if youre not friends then its straightup over.... a husband is a friend first and a husband second..

[molabuddy]

i feel like a romantic partner should imperatively be someone you can trust just like you trust a friend , someone you can be a little hater with . someone you share interests with and someone you can see yourself continuing to share interests with even when interest in the initial thing you guys met about fizzles out ... & someone you trust to be supportive of ur interests even when they Dont get it. someone you can do stupid bits with .someone you could spend 6 hours in a car or waiting room with just fine. i think because there’s a lot of societal pressure to Get a partner, a lot of people go looking for a partner and get one without even considering that they should actually be friends with that partner as well. it sounds like its Not worth it.

to me romantic love is beautiful and joyous and lovely , but platonic friendlove is the glue within every relationship that bonds people together

[molabuddy]

so basically step 1 of bagging a hot lesbian boyfriend is to throw away everything that's been ingrained in you about amonormativity , and think of getting into a relationship as like. a fun open option for your beautiful life and not something you need to do with any urgency. and also remember that whatever relationship you do get into does not need to place into any pre-defined boxes or categories if you dont want it to. it can just be its own thing. and then step 2 is to be nice and also gay and weird and passionate and reach out your yucky tendrils into the world until you meet someone who is also nice and gay and weird and passionate to be awesomefriends with
