Since I'm therapist-posting recently:
Legitimately self-compassion is the biggest mental health life hack of all time. I'm NOT talking about self-esteem. You do NOT have to like yourself one bit. You don't have to believe that you're a good person who deserves good things. You just have to believe that you're a person who deserves the things all people deserve.
You can't get from "I'm the Worst" to "I'm a worthy and lovable person" without passing through "I'm just a regular fuckup like everybody else."
Try it on. If you're really addicted to being mean to yourself, you can start by framing it as I'm Not Special. Embrace being a regular fuckup like everybody else.
never lose hope. somewhere, a middle-aged, gender ambiguous person with an advanced degree in an esoteric field and a fiber arts hobby could be crashing out and pinning all their remaining mental health on getting obsessed with your otp. any day now, the most elegantly written 100k fanfic you have ever read is going to hit ao3. it could happen. it has happened.
This is oddly specific yet I feel so called out
everyone in the league calling ilya an asshole meanwhile he’s apologizing to the bartender for his rowdy teammates, smiling politely at the nurse, playing mermaids with the kids, painting hayden’s kid’s nails and then his own nails to show them that boys can paint their nails too, getting excited over the team puppy, and then spoiling his dog rotten when he finally gets one. sorry but idgaf that he’s mean to grown ass men, they deserve it 😭😭
We can't ibuprofen our way outta this one boys

TINY WRLD (2020)
me after writing out the scene I imagined in my head:
Roy Mustang is the type to joke about marrying Riza Hawkeye for tax benefits. Hawkeye is the type to take it seriously. Penciled in that day at 4pm so she can be home to feed Black Hayate at 5.
Mustang still thinks it’s a bit until they’re signing papers. He tries to joke about how lucky he is to marry a beautiful woman to hide how he’s freaking out. Hawkeye tells him that, with all due respect, they’re already destined to spend eternity together in hell, so might as well make the paperwork easier.
She signs the papers and leaves Mustang standing open-mouthed in the office. They never talk about it again.
why do you and others like vaccines so much?
not dying of preventable diseases is actually one of my favorite hobbies
“Unfortunate! Anyway,”
gerard dubois' moby dick sells me on the cosmic horror whale
AHAB IS THE ONLY BITCH ON THAT SHIP WITH ANY AGENCY AND HE WILL KILL AND DIE AND GNAW OFF HIS OWN SANITY LIKE AN ANIMAL IN A TRAP TO GET FREE AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WHOLE BOOK IS JUST LIKE "lol yeah sometimes you get a shitty boss what can you do" AND HE'S LIKE "YOU CAN FUCKING KILL HIM OR DIE TRYING YOU ASSHOLES" AND EVERYONE IS LIKE "yup there's my shitty boss again. blaspheming."
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
happy 10 years of spiders georg everyone
“average meme lasts 5 years” factoid actually just statistical error. average meme lasts 30 days or less. Spiders Georg, which started on this day 10 years ago, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
It’s Spiders Georg-aversary!!!!! Ten years of outlying!!!!
