IKEA Gothic

You check the time. It’s 1pm

Don’t take a cart from outside. They won’t like it. They’re meant to be left outside. Leave them alone

You go in. The lines stretch for miles. You can’t see the end

There is no end

That’s okay, they’ll be shorter when you leave

You need a lamp. They’re downstairs. Through the turnstile

There are dishes. Stairs leading to nowhere

Don’t follow them. You might not come back

Follow the arrows. Don’t get lost, you won’t come out

You check the time. It’s 1pm

There are pillows. Metal bins filled with pillows. There is no bottom. There are always pillows

Why are there rugs with pillows? Don’t ask outloud. They won’t answer you. You will anger them

There’s a worker. Don’t look too long. She isn’t human.

Don’t ask them questions, they won’t answer. They can’t, it stole their voices

Don’t look at the people. They aren’t people

They’ve been here too long. The store has consumed them

You check the time. it’s 1pm

You need a lamp. There are light bulbs. Where are the lamps

There’s a lamp. Only one. It shouldn’t be there. You take it

Something heavy is in your pocket. It’s a watch. It put it there. You check the watch. It’s 1pm

Follow the arrows. They’ll take you out. Don’t get lost

There are stairs. There is no exit. People are waiting to checkout. They never will. The checkout doesn’t exist

You go upstairs

You keep going upstairs

There is no upstairs

You’re upstairs. You check a clock. It’s 1pm

There are windows. It’s black outside. The sun doesn’t exist here. You aren’t where you think

Follow the arrows. Don’t get lost

It’s 1pm. It’s been 1pm for the past year. Your friends are worried. They don’t come for you. They’re too afraid

Follow the arrows. Don’t get lost

It’s 1pm

Follow the arrows

a fools guide to not wanting to die anymore

by me, a fool who doesnt wanna die anymore

never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.

find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.

talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore

picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else

if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.

snackwizard

Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining

This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.

maramahan

Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes

Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”

Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”

When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?

And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking

This is so important

A friend of mine posted this which is awesome but for enbys and closet trans guys it may be a solution! In the UK at least!

Is he cool?

taking note of how quickly men calm down after you bend to their will is life-changing because you realize they were never really out of control, they were never really as angry and affected as they appeared. they just knew how to act out aggresssively enough to make you believe it was your fault that they lost their senses.

in 2019 we start recognizing men’s manipulation tactics and start living for ourselves!

They were never really out of control.

“I assure you, brother, the sun will shine on us again.”

imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow

if you identify as cis but haven’t actually taken time to sit down and examine and analyze your gender identity, it’s probably time to do that otherwise you’ve just given in to society forcing a significant part of your identity upon you.

arkhams-deactivated20230101

if someones comfortable with their gender identity to the point that its not even on their mind then theres no need for them to analyse it

27-teacups

as someone who basically identifies as cis i think it’s very much important to examine your gender identity. it might lead to small things: e.g. after i did that i stopped shaving because i realized that i wasn’t doing it for myself. further, i’ve stopped seeing my own face as a gendered thing and this makes it easier for me to be respectful of the identities of others, and easier to be happy with the meatsack i live in. i think that it’s very important for cis people to consider what aspects of gendered existence we hold sacred. peeing in a segregated space? if so, why? i mean this is exactly the kind of question trans communities have been trying to get us to deal with forever and i think that answering it on a cultural level will come with exactly the type of introspection that OP is asking for.

some of the best advice i’ve got in college so far is “make strange what is comfortable” and hey, after you take it apart, you can put it right back together again if that’s what makes you happy but it’s still important to evaluate why you perform your gender the way you do and what rituals are essential to that? why are they essential? are they worth perpetuating? the answer might not always be yes EVEN for people comfortable with the label of their gender assigned at birth

korrasera

Also, if more cis people took exploration of gender identity seriously because they had intentionally considered it when society makes it easy for them to never have to do that, they might actually understand why those of us that are trans are the gender we say we are.

My friend once told me every time you kiss someone it might be the last time and since then I kiss hard and wild and can’t scrub it out of me. If this is over tomorrow I want to remember everything, how your heartbeat sounds, the smirk you give me after telling a joke, every line of your palms where your future says you’ll have trouble in love

This has happened to me before when I was in college at a frat party. This girl comes squeezing herself in between me and my friend and throws her arms around me. “Amanda, I am so glad you decided to come!” I was so confused and just figured she was drunk and mistaked me for someone else, until I saw the panic on her face. She leaned close and whispered that a guy was following her, was certain that he had put something in her drink and if I would please play along. I looked behind her and sure enough, some creep was watching her like a hawk. We invited her to hang out with us the rest of the night and even waited until her ride showed up just to make sure she was safe. Always look out for each other!

If you ever feel scared like this just come up to me like we have been friends since kindergarten, call me any name u can come up with ill play along.

Stay together, stay safe

eclecticstudentwriter

Perfect advice. I’m reblogging this as a guy, because first of all, if you”re a guy : DON’T DO THAT. Don’t be that creep.

And if you’re a guy and you notice some creep is following or stalking a girl, and that she’s obviously uncomfortable or panicked, go ahead and say hi, long time no see, pretend to be her cousin, and tell her discretly you noticed there was a shady guy. Ask her if something’s wrong, if she feels unsafe, if she wants your help (very important - she may not trust you enough, no one could blame her, don’t take it personally). (and don’t you dare take advantage of the help you offered for a flirt opportunity, that would make you no better than the creep)

We can all stop “witnessing and do nothing”, and set an example.

hapslock

Alternative option for a guy: if you feel safe doing so, go up to the creeper who’s following her and be like “hey WHAT’S UP bud do you like SPORTS? My favourite team is the redsox what’s YOURS my man? What you DRINKING dude that looks GOOD.” and be friendly and just loud enough to blow his cover. Draw attention to him and see what he does. He won’t feel as safe creeping if he knows people are looking at him, and maybe he’ll leave. It also means the woman won’t have to worry that you are *another* creeper she has to be wary of, and you may distract the bad dude enough to give her a chance to lose him.

I’m at my dog sitting job in a pretty old countryside farm and the lady who does the cleaning up here told me this morning that there are old tunnels (now closed up) running from the house to the church (1km) and I did not want to know that

kelgrid

Imagine what could come from there? Ghouls, ghosts, vampires?

I swear guys are so much more sensitive than most media portrays like my dad is always looking to spend time with us, my brother is like an excited puppy when you start talking about wildlife conservation with him, and I watched my guy friend turn 5 shades darker when my family told him that we love him and he hid his face in our dog’s fur and said he loved us, too and gosh darn I would fight for the men in my life.

pizza-soup

The men in my life are such sensitive souls too. My brother will let me do face masks on him because his skin is prone to breaking out, so we’re just lounging around with green goop on our faces. We have nights where we just binge watch old movies from our youth. He’ll run out to the store to get me medicine when I’m not feeling so good. He’ll run off creeps who harass me in public. He comes to me for advice on woman he’s dating and actually puts it to use.

My Dad, when he was alive, would surprise my mom every Wednesday with her favorite candy or a coffee and personally deliver it to her while she was at work. He always remembered her birthday and got her favorite pie every year. Same with their anniversary. They’d take off once a month, just the two of the them, and come back late at night…yes they still went on ‘dates’, even through they were married for 30 something years. My dad turned into a 10 ten year old kid upon getting to ‘meet’ Spiderman at Universal Studios. I still have the photo.

My grandpa actually cried in a restaurant when we sang to him for his 90th birthday, and cried again when he found out his sister flew all the way from Utah just to spend that day with him. Sensitive men are treasures and I will tell toxic masculine men to go kiss a rattlesnake.

“due to personal reasons i will ____” is so fucking funny because it implies both that whatever you’re doing is some kind of self care AND that it’s nobody else’s goddamn business
