Alan Ritchson describes his experience with bipolar, providing very apt explanation of how this decease works
Transcript of the full video:
Bipolar is a terrible name. It should it be called unipolar. Unipolar, it should be called unipolar. Everybody else is bipolar.
If normal healthy people have an experience throughout the day, like, they're um, they're coming home from work, they had a decent day at work, they worked hard, they feel accomplished, and they're driving home... Somebody cuts them off in traffic real bad, gives them the finger, don't even understand why - I'm going to speed limit, right - they feel put off, and they're like "how dare they, like that's so rude, people in LA are so rude..." They have this feeling that's like, negative towards that experience, and maybe you know opens up feelings of like, insecurity or rage or whatever, but they're still sort of in that place where they're like "but I'm going home. Oh well, I can shake it off and I'm gonna go".
They're existing in two places at once. They can exist- most people can exist - in two places at once. Like, if shit happens, there's still some part of themselves that's okay.
With bipolar you, you can't... I personally cannot experience two things, two states at once. It is one of the most intense versions of that experience that you can possibly imagine.
So if most people have 99 keys on the keyboard, and the lows are real low, and the highs are real high, and they can enjoy all those, right? And they can sort of play in that range.
For me it extends as far as the eye can see, deep into the horizon, where it curves and wraps around the edge of the Earth. Right? Those keys still go. Some of those are so deep that it's impossible to pull yourself out of, and you need help from a team of people - you need medication, right?
And I can't possibly experience those extremes and also do what people tell you to do. And they go "but just think about all the things you have to be grateful for. Play this key, up here. Just play that key, let it pull you out" no, dude. There's no just playing that key, until life stops hammering that base tone for me.
I can't come out of it. And there are times when I have this kind of out-of-body experience, when I go "I should let go of this feeling. Like, I have to let go of this feeling - my family needs me. I need to be present with my family. There's got to be a way out..." It's like I'm talking to myself, going like "pleeeease"... and it just won't do it.
That is bipolar. That's bipolar. It's unipolar, it's you are going to experience immediately the most intense version of whatever your experience is. And it's authentic, and there's no lying about it. It's so complex and deep, those feelings, that I can't act like I'm not feeling it. And so that's really hard for people. And it's really hard for my family.
Because like, if I'm upset because of my kid the other day... Okay so I've got three boys, they're eleven, nine and seven... uh my seven-year-old is just a few days behind me with his birthday... so he's about to be eight. They're very sweet boys. I'm so grateful for them. They're wonderful young men. But they were mad at me, because I told them to go to bed and put their stuff away, the stuff that they were doing... and my littlest said "F you, Dad!"
I had had quite a day, because I was out in the countryside for work, at a place with no Wi-Fi, and I had press stuff, I was talking to... I was talking to Associated Press and I was talking to Washington Post, all these things that were supposed to be on camera, these interviews... And I couldn't get a signal, dude. And it was so frustrating.
So, I'm dealing with that, and then my kid tells me to F off because I asked him to go to bed. And I, like, lose my mind, right... And I can't pull myself out of that place, to go like "he's just a kid". I experience the feeling of a kid telling me to F off and that feeling took over and there was nothing else. For like an hour. And it took me like an hour to finally, kind of like, shake it off, dude.
It's fucking the worst. It is fucking the worst. I would give anything, I would give anything to not be bipolar.
But yet it's also the fuel to what I do in my craft. I can experience things as a character, because I can tap into such wide range of emotions so deeply and authentically so fast... It's what makes things like Reacher interesting for you to watch. So it's a blessing and a massive fucking curse, dude. I'd give anything to not be bipolar.

Testing out the new tumblr photoset feature.
People were mentioning gifsets.
Did you know… I made the very first one?
Tumblr announced a new “photoset” feature and they mainly intended it as a way to post a bunch of still images.
And I was like, does it work with GIFs?
I made this and then it inspired a ton of other people to do creative things with multiple GIFs.
My favorite was this one.

A reminder to the "the American government wouldn't..." crowd. They have. They have made their own internment camps before. They have rounded up innocent citizens and immigrants before. The victims of which are still alive to this day and trying to share their stories with the world, they have been trying to warn us for a long time. George Takei (as seen above) is a famous example of this. He has written about his experiences time and time again, even publishing a book talking about his time in these camps. He may be famous now, but at the time he was just another kid forced from his home. To this day he still firmly dedicates himself to trying to educate and inform people, trying to spread awareness with his platform. The American Government can and will do terrible things. Do not let anyone convince you otherwise.

You can only eat 2 foods for the next 2 years (with no health repercussions)
Spin this wheel twice to figure out what they are!
The idea of being confined to two foods for two years is hell.
I am going to kill and eat whatever entity is attempting to enforce this.
I got
Cheesecake (any kind) and Sushi (any kind) and I am creative enough in my definitions that I could absolutely make this work for a week or two. But one day I'm going to want corn bread or a steak or some fish and chips or some mashed potatoes and I WILL EAT YOU if you try to prevent me from this.
I'm the opposite of Same Food; if I don't have novelty in my diet I will go feral.
Banana and Shepherds Pie (any ingredients)……. If I’m allowed to get wildly creative about what constitutes a shepherd pie, then I could maybe make this work, but I don’t know if I would last two years.
I got cinnamon rolls and canned soup (any flavour). It's alright. I'll be eating a lot of mid-tier soup and having the exact same dessert everyday but it could be worse.

a sizing mishap
This story (and in turn this entire collection) wouldn't have happened if I weren't inspired by this comment from the amazing @lokischambermaid. Thank you for the thot!! 💖🫡
Summary: You hand Player #6 his uniform but it's the wrong size…
Pairing: Tom Hiddleston x Reader
Word Count: 4.1k
Warnings: 18+ | smut-ish at the end (minors & pearl clutchers, don't try me. not today); language; side-eye worthy behavior from less than minor character at the beginning [let me know if i missed anything!]
Things to be aware of: trust the process, and let me know if you caught on to the hints 😉

shoutout to autistics who always grew up excluded without knowing why. people who were subtly left out of conversations, not invited to events, not welcomed in groups. people who were brushed off and told they're overthinking it, but always knew they were different. people who are now told they're overly sensitive to rejection, but who have good reason to be so suspicious.
