yall ever miss your own energy?? like damn wtf happened to me??
the other day i saw a tiktok of a woman talking about how her hyper-militant abusive parents would sometimes punish her by “taking away her name” and referring to her as a prisoner number. genuinely terrible stuff, obviously. but i skimmed the comments and. listen. i truly DO NOT mean to dunk too hard on this person, like they could be a kid or something, but.
just. breathtaking. imagine if your primary reference for the concept of the un-personing of prisoners was (check notes) a book series about owls.
This is why it's important to Include stuff like this in fiction, especially ya fiction. It can be a lot of sheltered and/or indoctrinated children, in the case of a lot of rural "Christians", first introduction to these types of concepts in a way they can understand.
I don't think there's anything weird or shameful about it. Knowledge is knowledge, regardless of where it came from.

guide to making your system a nicer/more functional place
(disclaimer: this is what works for us, but everyone is different and as such may have different needs)
⭐️ Punishments, isolation, and jailing do not work. Do not use them.
⭐️ Try to understand why your headmates do the things they do. Research where that behavior comes from, try to note triggers.
⭐️ Be conscientious of each others' triggers (front triggers and other triggers). Try to learn what they are. Never share them with outsiders.
⭐️ Don't try to internalize singlet-style relationship types. You will not fit neatly into boxes of siblings, friends, partners, coworkers, roommates, or lovers. You are headmates.
⭐️ Have individual headspaces AND a collective headspace if you can. You can have houses, doorways, statues, fucking trees, whatever, in a circle in your collective headspace representing your individual headspaces. This way you are all connected, but have your own spaces. Have a collective meeting space in the middle.
⭐️ Try to make sure everyone has a name. Even if it's just "The Blue One". Unless a headmate specifically requests not to have a name, of course.
⭐️ Headmates can communicate in all sorts of ways. Not just words, but images, emotions, internal and external body language. Be open to listen.
⭐️ When looking for a headmate's "age", you are really looking for: emotional maturity, ability to understand complex topics, ability to consent to sex, ability to cope with an adult life, food preferences, communication style, and headspace appearance. It is most often not a literal age.
⭐️ If roles aren't natural, don't seek them.
⭐️ Put clear, honest communication + understanding above rules and everything else.
❤️ Regarding romance: It is a societal construct. Highly likely not to fit your collective needs. Take from it what you want. If it doesn't serve you, let it go.

what happens after you start wanting to live again? when you're out of the suicidal period, now what? how do you start a future you had no plans for? how do you begin to realize what you're doing with your life?
apologies if youve answered something like this before, tumblr search feature is really bad and i wasn't able to find it
This part is talked about far less than the crisis itself, but it is very real.
When you come out of a suicidal period and start wanting to live again, it can feel disorienting. You look around and realise you stayed alive, but you did not plan for a future. You were focused on surviving the moment, not building a life. That does not mean you failed. It means you did exactly what you needed to do to stay here.
For a while, the goal is not to “figure out your life.”
The goal is to stabilise.
You start small. Smaller than you think you should. You rebuild routines before you rebuild dreams. Eating regularly. Sleeping when you can. Keeping appointments. Letting your nervous system settle after being in survival mode for so long. Wanting to live again does not instantly give you energy or clarity. Those can come later.
It is also very common to grieve at this stage. You might grieve the years you did not plan for. You might grieve the person you thought you would be. You might feel behind everyone else. None of that means you made the wrong choice by staying alive. It means you are waking up after a long period of pain.
You do not have to suddenly know what you are doing with your life. Most people do not, even the ones who look like they do. After crisis, the work is often about curiosity instead of certainty. What feels tolerable. What feels neutral. What feels a tiny bit less heavy. You build a future the same way you rebuild trust. Slowly, with room to change your mind.
You are allowed to build a different life than the one you imagined before. Surviving changes you. Your priorities shift. Your capacity changes. That is not a failure. That is adaptation.
You do not need to have a five year plan.
You do not need to know your purpose.
You do not need to feel grateful or hopeful all the time.
Sometimes the answer to “now what?” is simply that you learn how to live again, one ordinary day at a time.
And honestly? That’s enough right now. It might not feel like it. It might feel like you’re behind when everyone else is moving forward. But you aren’t. We’re all at different places and it’s okay to not know yet.
It’s okay to just live right now. Get familiar with yourself. Try new hobbies. Push yourself to try new things. Figure out who you are now.
Try not to put pressure on yourself. You’ve survived so much and it’s okay to just breathe a little.
When you start feeling ready to look forward instead of just survive, a helpful place to begin is values, not goals.
Goals can feel overwhelming when you have never planned to be here. Values can be softer. They are questions like:
What do I want less of in my life?
What feels safe or grounding?
What do I want my days to feel like, even if I do not know what I want them to look like?
You do not need to pick a career, a purpose, or a grand direction. Sometimes the first step is noticing what does not hurt as much anymore, or what brings a small sense of calm or interest. That curiosity is often the beginning of figuring out what you want in life.
Hot Buttered Rum
What butter and whiskey won’t cure, there’s no cure for! (Scottish proverb)
Ingredients:
½ cup butter, softened
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup powdered sugar
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup vanilla ice cream, softened
6 jiggers (shots) of rum, or to taste
Boiling water
In a small bowl, beat the butter together with brown sugar, powdered sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Beat in the softened ice cream. When ready to serve, put about 1/3 cup of the ice cream mixture into individual mugs. Add 1 shot of rum and ½ cup boiling water to each. Stir well and serve. Some people like to add a dollop of whipped cream, so having that handy might be a good idea.
Variation: Place 2 shots of dark rum, a twist of lemon peel, and a cinnamon stick in an ale mug. Fill with boiling hard cider, add a pat of butter, and stir with a cinnamon stick.

I just want to let you guys know Cornell's entire library is open access (no permissions required) and there are (shocker) many books...
I hate delayed amnesia so much. I’ll go through a whole day thinking I’m “fine” and fully present, and then hours later it hits me like—wait… I don’t remember anything from today. It feels like my whole day just slips through my fingers.
I’d like to think I’m staying relatively co-conscious with our other alters/fragments, but then once they leave, I lose nearly—if not all—of the memory afterward. It’s so disorienting.
At risk of sounding like a hater and an asshole this looks like AI and if its somehow not, the editor who reworked images and sharpened them up made it look like AI
Edit: yeah its AI
This is the actual image (from a 6 year old reddit post so def not AI). Either someone asked AI to recreate it or AI, being the plagiarism machine it is, was asked for a pic of dogs finding humans in the snow and just ripped off the first image it could find. Another reminder that AI doesn't actually create anything. Also real cute dogs.
Actually a fantastic example for when you need to illustrate to someone that AI art is theft, blatantly, and not in some abstract way
I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?
Sometimes, sure, but why was Maid Marian a fox in Robin Hood? There wasn’t anything particularly “foxlike” about her personality, and it would make more sense for her to be a lion. They made her a fox only because Robin was a fox and making her something else would be “weird”, but I don’t think the wolf cop or the chicken maid or the lion prince were actually meant to represent race.
The best inter species couple is Kermit and Miss Piggy as the Cratchits in A Muppet Christmas Carol, because all their sons are frogs and all their daughters are pigs, as God clearly intended.
there are only two genders: frog and pig
I’ve pointed out to my friends that the fact that Kermit and Miss Piggy’s kids are like that means either
1) they reproduce asexually and the children are clones of each parent OR
2) Kermit and Miss Piggy are members of the same sexually dimorphic species, hence the split between their male and female children
yes I have spent too long running about potential muppet biology
oh god
Third option, when they want kids they get some fabric and make one, and hope a Hand inhabits it
Do you think there’s a ritual for inviting An Inhabiting Hand to possess the empty husk of your muppet baby?
Just wanted to show u guys that in Muppets Most Wanted, Piggy fantasizes about her and Kermit having babies and this is what they look like
So do with that what you will
Recall that in The Great Muppet Caper, Kermit and Fozzie are brothers. And this was their dad (right):
Thank you for specifying, which one of the two individuals in the picture was the dad haha
I, for one, think Shrek handled interspecies coupling the best. By this I am of course talking about the Dronkeys.
In season 3 of BoJack Horseman, we learn Diane (middle) has been impregnated by Mr. Peanutbutter (left). The fetuses are confirmed to be puppies.
This is the worst addition to this post
I am reminded of Treasure Planet.
In which Captain Amelia (left), an extra terrestrial anthropomorphic cat, had hybrid babies with Doctor Doppler (middle), an extra terrestrial anthropomorphic dog, whom also gave birth to the babies
I always thought that in muppet movies like muppet Christmas Carol the characters are played by the muppets (so kermit is acting and playing the role of Bob rather than being him) so the kids in that film would just be other acting muppets right?
Or is that just something my brain made up?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
anyone in this thread smoke weed
In Leo the Lion (2005) a lion and elephant have the most cursed hybrid children and I think yall should see them
(also Matt Mercer voices the villain, Maximus Elefante and I think that’s very important)
I think that what they are talking about is perfectly clear.
