#it won't help

By the gods...

By the gods of above and below, it's driving me absolutely batty that there hasn't been any new content of Ozpin x reader and is kind of making me a bit sad.

I mean, Qifrey reminds me so much of Ozpin and I'm on such a Qifrey x Reader kick and then I'm immediately searching for Ozpin again.

And then after THAT my mind shoots to Steven Stone from Pokemon and I go looking for more fics of him!!

I need help. I'm so thirsty and I'm in a desert in a heatwave drought... Q3Q

i think it's gotta be talked about every now and then about 'posting anxiety' people can have as a result of being cursed at and insulted time and time again for making a statement that isn't any way harmful, but is simply the opposite of someone else's. especially if you're a child, who likely doesn't know how to handle conflict like this.

so, for anyone who's struggling with this sort of thing at the moment, here's a tried and true method that's put me at ease several times:

block them.

it may feel petty.

it may feel the opposite of helpful at first.

it may even make you feel a little angry, because you didn't say anything beforehand ( or maybe you did ).

but listen.

it is much more important to keep your mental health a priority than it is to 'not be petty'.

it is much more important to keep your mental health a priority than it is to 'win' an argument.

your mental health is much more important than anything the person trying to argue with you could say and you need to keep that above all else, especially on the internet.

nowadays, if i do respond to haters, it's usually with static phrases or emojis, nothing that could give them 'ammo' to further attack and antagonize me with.

basically, you don't always have to engage. it's not really ignoring them either, just refusing to give them any ability to hurt you further.

Why did someone attempt to start ship discourse with me in the AO3 comments of a 700 word drabble. 😐

If you’re a person who spends hours in front of the computer and you see those “10 minute workouts for writers/artists/lazy people/whatever”, and they include push ups or other exercises that put a strain on your shoulders, and especially if you don’t work out and haven’t done it in ages: Don’t do it.

There are better ways to exercise in 10 minutes. Unless you’re going to actually spend other 10 mins. at least warming up, don’t do those workouts. I know they mean to help, but chances are they’re made by people who don’t work out regularly and you’ll probably end up injured. 

Take it from someone with a chronic shoulder injury. I know what I’m talking about.

A better alternative is some gentle yoga. A few sun salutations should be the best option. I mean, those 10 minute work outs are made to help you stretch your muscles, not burn any real calories or tone your muscles or anything. If you want to do those things, you need to spend more time working out (no, there’s no easy way to cheat), and always include warm ups and cool downs.

Sitting in front of the computer actually strains your back and shoulders a lot. More than you can imagine. Exercising right after spending hours sitting down makes your body extra vulnerable to injuries (believe it or not), so warm ups should be even longer if you don’t want to get injured.

I mean, you can do whatever you want with your body, of course, but I really don’t recommend any workouts you find on Tumblr. I have never seen one that isn’t ridiculously difficult, especially for people who don’t exercise regularly, and that would make you injured easily. There are better alternatives if you need to stretch or if you want to burn some calories.
