Things and whatnot @nommonkeypie - Tumblr Blog

Hi! I’ve recently been reading a bunch of soulmate fics, against my better judgement, so I’ve been thinking about them a bit. Do you have any prompts or ideas for playing the soulmate concept for horror? Thanks! Have a nice day!

Hi :)

I'm not the best with horror, because it's not something I read, but I'll try my best for you!

Dark Soulmates AUs

Soulmates are supposed to live and die together. That means as soon as soulmates lay eyes on each other, their souls get entwined, so that if one dies the other does too. It has become quite common to hire people that specialize in finding and killing soulmates, so that they never randomly meet them and risk dying through them.

Words can get written on each other's body, but every single letter appears as a wound, leaving nasty scars that won't go away.

Being away from your soulmate will lead to excruciating pain, if they go too far, both soulmates will die.

Soulmates get the same injuries, so it is not uncommon to see perfectly healthy people suddenly collapse with gashing wounds, when their soulmates get into accidents.

The concept of a soulmate being a romantic partner was a fairytale. In this world you share a soul with your worst enemy, having to fight for your life and the right to your soul.

People who don't find their soulmate by a certain age will eventually wither like flowers, not being able to live a life without the second half of their soul.

Soulmates feel each other's pain and criminals use this to torture two people at once.

Every touch from your soulmate will leave an imprint on your body, but everyone can clearly see if it was done in a loving manner or if your soulmate caused you harm. People pity you when they see your imprints.

Starting at age 18, people will stop aging until they find their soulmate to grow old with. Many people don't want to give up possible immortality and hire hitmen to get rid of their soulmates.

Hanahaki Disease: If your love is not getting returned, flowers start growing inside your body, suffocating you from inside. Surgical removal is dangerous and you're dying without your soulmate's love.

I don’t know if this information is commonly shared, but trauma will mess up your digestion. If you’re re-living traumatic stuff, you can slip into fight-or-flight response, which will make your body cancel digestion as low-importance process that isn’t to be done while survival is in question. That means you wont be able to digest anything until you calm down and your body believes it’s safe to start digesting again. If you’re running or moving a lot to cope with fight-or-flight (it works sometimes, makes your body believe you’re getting away from danger), it can cause you to vomit (so you’d be able to keep moving).

It can also slow your digestion and make it very painful, to the point where you can feel pain exactly where the food is currently stuck in your body. Being tense and stressed and anxious can also make your stomach rigid and unwilling to move its muscles to get food to come thru. So if you’re currently struggling with horrible digestion or stomach pain, and have to watch very closely what you eat in order not to trigger some major pain, it might be due to trauma.

I had horrible stomach pain for a full year before coming down with full blown ptsd, and didn’t know why. The pain would get so bad I practically gave up eating, because I couldn’t deal with the aftermath.

#interesting #i'm dealing with this complete lack of eating #it's been almost 5 weeks of forcing myself to eat #I've attributed it to the pain and medications for sciatica #but I wonder if this isn't part of it

I’d rather be in $6k more debt or have a mortgage extended 5 years than know I pushed a person into homelessness during a pandemic.

Not only would the life of that person be on my hands, but so would any others that they come into contact with because this is a pandemic.

The more people out and about the more sick people there will be. If you forcibly remove someone from shelter you are creating not only a dangerous situation for that person but for your entire community and yourself.

We owe it to one another to care for one another, especially in times of crisis.

Honestly, in places without mortgage freezes landowners should be pressuring the banks not their tenants. If you are upset because your tenants can’t pay and you will be on the hook, go after the person holding the hook instead of trying to squeeze blood from a stone. Take a cue from your tenants and push up, not down.

Seriously, fuck.

#1 thing i have learned from this post? aquarius are fucking DISASTERS

unchristened

Aquarius (on Pisces cusp, although I don’t think that helps):

For work I try to go to bed between 8:30-9pm since my alarm goes off at 4:45am.

On days I don’t work, it’s more like 10pm-8am

Of course, this all assumes I fall asleep as soon as/shortly after going to bed, but that like almost never happens.

When I worked second shift I’d be up as late as 4am (self-imposed curfew) and sleep til like noon…

lololololololol

I am firmly Aquarius (right in the middle with a 2/2 bday). My sleep schedule is the WORST, especially during times like now where I have nothing to help keep me anchored.

In the past 8 months, my sleep schedule has roughly looked like: 5pm to 1am, 10pm to 6am, midnight to 9 am, and currently I’m literally just floating around so maybe I go to sleep in my bed at 1am and wake up at 6 am and then do something for a bit and end up falling asleep around noon and waking at 2 and then being all awake and whatnot until 2am and just....yeah...I need things like work/school in order to follow a functional schedule.

I have noticed that, for most of the things I do, it takes me a while to start.

My mom asked me the other day to vacuum the doormat. I said yes. A few minutes went by. She asked again, worried I was not going to do it. I assured her that I was going to do it, just not immediately. And it indeed took me 5-10min to “close” (like one would close a tab or a file, but in my mind) what I was doing (reading something on my phone) before comfortably moving on.

I could have just paused my reading, done the vacuuming, and got back to my reading, but it felt more comfortable and natural to finish it and prepare myself for the upcoming task.

And it’s like that with every little thing.

For instance, the one that prompted this post: I noticed my PC was out of battery and instead of immediately getting up to fetch the charger I sat there a few seconds, asking myself why I hadn’t done it yet. And then I realized — it’s not that I can’t retrieve it, and it’s not that I’m utterly lazy to the point of not wanting to get up either.

I just need a little bit of time.

myadhdlife

It’s actually transition time!! It’s super hard for our brains to just jump from one thing to another it needs time to transition out of one task and I to the other one (or as you very perfectly put it “close the task”)

youandmeandadhd

Yes! Task Switching is a bitch

When I was younger I used to get hyperfocussed in my music and my sister thought it was hilarious to rip me out of it abruptly because of how I’d “overreact”

But it’s like a mental switchboard?? If you’ve got a bunch of attention plugged in to a thing and you just rip all the plugs out at once, there’s a bunch of power that needs to be dumped out to somewhere and that can literally and figuratively blow a fuse??

NTs will see you running a vital server and unplug it to charge their phone - then act brand new if you get annoyed about it

ironwoman359

this explains it PERFECTLY

not-tumbling

im like “in a minute” and my mom is like “fuck you do it now”

calystarose

I struggle with that transition time thing, but also if I’m in that cool down before switching tasks period and I get interrupted the cool down process has to restart. like I needed five minutes, I was at 3:30 in the process, you interrupted me and now I’m back to 5 minutes counting down, the more I’m interrupted the further that clock gets pushed back as I need longer to recover from it.

I couldn’t get this interaction from Critical Role episode 46 out of my head 😂

Oh my god, I've just seen this story on instagram about this guy that filled his bathtub with waterbead...except he didn't think about how he was going to empty it.

So he unplugged the bathtub which was apparently the worst idea he could possibly have because this happened

So he panicked and started asking people on the internet what he should do. Which was also a bad idea.

First suggestion: flush the toilet

This caused a smelly overflow that flooded the whole bathroom.

Second suggestion: vaccum the beads

His vaccum caught fire.

At this point it had actually spread to the neighborhood and people came to ask question but he denied knowing anything about it. He then discovered that it's invaded the whole sewer system.

And yet, he continued to take suggestion from the internet.

Third suggestion: put salt in

It actually worked. Well, until.

Poop apprently started flooding his house.

And then the streets.

It all happened yesterday so we're still waiting on an update on the situation but I hadn't laugh like this in a while.

You should go and watch the whole story (it's in 4 parts)

It's in french, but you get it even if you don't speak it and his screams of panic are hilarious

Word of warning: don't fill your bathtub with waterbeads. Just don't.

castielific

Update on the situation. The waterbeads have totally blocked the sewer system. He received a letter from town hall telling people to report nuisances to the cops that are searching for the culprit.

He's in so much trouble that I'm starting to feel guilty for finding this funny...but still kinda laughing about it.

anthologyofm

It’s stories like this that give me perspective on my own mistakes. Like I might’ve once made a dumb decision but I’ve never made a “it led to backing up the entire sewer system of a town” kind of decision
