no one wants to hear it but love is earned after the initial infatuation. commitment is something u both mutually agree to and then from there it’s work. it’s not work like it’s a chore it’s jus work like it takes effort. to get good at these things takes practice. it takes practice to learn to communicate better and it takes practice to learn to love each other in the ways u need to be loved.

Can someone please tell scorpios that they need to stop giving their all to everyone. They need to love themselves first before they can love others. Otherwise they become discouraged that no matter what they do it’s never enough.

Scorpios, love yourself.

~ A concerned Capricorn

#scorpio #capricorn #self love #health #emotional health #zodiac #please take care of your mental health #don’t give 100% to everyone #take what you need to love yourself #give the rest away if you wish #take care of yourself #self care

Hello! Spoilers spoilers spoilers ahead read at your own discretion

you have been warned

aright so I want to talk about the double edged blades of assumption and choice.

Take this with a grain of salt, part two of Love Eater is out tomorrow and to begin with I know heck all about the chronology of this season as it goes but i like devices and symbolism and the power of suggestion so et ç'est parti

At the beginning of the episode, Marinette and Adrien sit in their rooms scrolling through pictures of their "unrequited" loves when they're interrupted by notifications conveniently involving potential alternative suitors.

Marinette's is pretty cut and dry, as we've been given episodes where Marinette is visibly and audibly concerned of who to choose—Luka or Adrien.

Meanwhile, I don't really think Adrien's is ever explicitly clear.

I mean, sure we all know it's meant to imply Kagami. And I'm not saying she isn't an option he's seemed to have considered.

But it's important to recognize that choice is while all in all an important theme to the show, it's important to Adrien's character in a very particular way.

All his life, he's spent living with decisions people have made for him— strict curfew, fencing, piano, language lessons, modeling, Chloe as a childhood and eventually only friend??? He's decided to live with those things and attempt to make the most of them. That's as far as his decisions can reach there.

The most starkly clear choices that have affected the entirety of the story are him being Chat Noir, and then him going to school. One was handed to him and he had to decide whether or not to take this opportunity, and the other was something he had to attain by force.

Since Onii Chan, I've not been able to stop thinking about that exchange between Akumatized Kagami, Lila, and Chat Noir.

Nobody this entire time has asked Adrien how he's felt about anybody—they just assume. Assume. Everybody in their own way has assumed what he's thinking.

Kagami is confident and assumes that she can be with Adrien through effort, precision, and her assertiveness, as that's been the case with everything she does. Her skill and accomplishments are all thanks to her amazing sense of self and hard work.

Lila is manipulative and assumes that she can get to Adrien if she were to spin a few truths and give a nice lil nudge of things and people to get her way. Her mischief has been a weapon and shield all of her life, and she's usually gotten everything she wants with a pretty little lie or two.

Chloe has just assumed she can get anything she wants by demanding it. Not even asking. Just demanding.

Marinette has assumed the worst of herself and/or what Adrien could think about her. Her lack of confidence and general clumsiness in the romance department ended up hurting her own feelings, and she just assumed she isn't what Adrien is looking for.

You can see this in the newest episode where, as this post has pointed out, she understands the implications of the ice cream and decides to give up the Marinette and Adrien ice cream. Adrien, thinking it is only ice cream, left the choice up to her, but she ended up deciding on something that would require him to be in the conversation.

Things like this keep happening around Adrien and he's kind of stuck in the center being pushed and pulled against and fought over and that's happening so much it almost feels like purposeful misdirection.

ML Season 2 Chronological Order FULL

Production Order Matters

The numbers on the Right are the Episode numbers. The ones on tbe left are the Production Order of the episodes. Which means THAT’S the order they started working on them.

Some episodes took longer to finish than others so that’s why we got the episodes so weirdly released.

Which is why character interactions make WAY more sense when viewed in this order.

But even still: Be aware I didn’t just throw this together and whatnot. This is the Official Production Order. But that doesn’t mean it’s the Official Chronological order. Even so it’s a really good framework to try out. And still fairly close to what I’d say is the real order of episodes.

[201] The Collector (Episode 1)

[202] Prime Queen (Episode 3)

[203] Glaciator (Episode 9)

[204] Despair Bear (Episode 2)

[205] Troublemaker (Episode 16)

[206] Gigantitan (Episode 7)

[207] Riposte (Episode 5)

[208] Befana (Episode 4)

[209] Frighteningale (Episode 15)*

[210] Gorizilla (Episode 11)

[211] Robustus (Episode 6)

[212] Sapotis (Episode 10)

[213] The Dark Owl (Episode 8)

[214] Syren (Episode 14)

[215] Zombizou (Episode 13)

[216] Captian Hardrock (Episode 12)

[217] Frozer (Episode 20)

[218] Style Queen {QBpt1} (Episode 21)

[219] Queen Wasp {QBpt2} (Episode 22)

[220] Reverser (Episode 19)

[221] Anansi (Episode 17)

[222] Malediktor (Episode 23)

[223] Sandboy (Episode 18)

[224] Catalyst {HDpt1} (Episode 24)

[225] Mayura {HDpt2} (Episode 25)

*{QB}Queen’s Battle and {HD}Heroes Day 2pt episodes.

This should help. I watched via this list and it all made SO MUCH MORE SENSE having Glaciator, Troublemaker and Frighteningale earlier in the season.

Warning: This does NOT work for season 1. The production order of season one is all over the place. If you try to watch it that way you will get a headache.

My family is not very religious most of the time. We pray at Christmas and Easter and Thanksgiving dinners, and my mom’s entire side of the family excluding her parents and siblings is hardcore religious so whenever we do anything with them it’s kind of religious.

But the point is, most of the time we aren’t, but every year at Christmas time, a church in the next town over puts on a Bethlehem and it’s kind of a tradition to go. They go all out. The building is massive, and they’ve got it all decked out. There’s animals and stalls and everyone is in costume and in character. When you get there, they give you some pennies and you can go and barter for cool little trinkets, and there’s other more expensive things you can buy with your own money. And they have the best apple cider. All in all, it’s pretty cool.

But anyway. We go every year, bundled up in hats and scarves and mittens, and have a good time. We’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember, and my mom talks about going when she was a kid.

I’m going to mention again that everyone is massively in character, especially the really super hardcore religious adults. Because this is an important fact.

Every year since I was about thirteen or so, there’s been this one lady who worked at a stall selling ponchos (I have, like, three. They’re really cool). She was probably there before that, but I was thirteen when she started trying to barter for me to marry her son, who was also about thirteen.

“What a pretty little thing. I think you’d make a very good wife for my son. These are your parents? I’ll give you six goats for your daughter’s marriage to my son.”

Her son, meanwhile, is in the “shop” behind her looking absolutely mortified and like he’d rather be anywhere else than there, and I’m pretty sure I probably looked just as embarrassed.

My parents gave her some sort of excuse, like it wasn’t enough goats or they weren’t ready to marry me off yet or something, and we moved on.

The next year we’re back again, and come up near to the same stall.

“Ah! You’re back again! Have you married your daughter off yet? I can up my offer to nine goats and three chickens for your daughter to marry my son.”

Somehow she remembered the exact people she’d tried to buy their daughter off of for an entire year? So my parents are refusing her offers again and me and the son are trading embarrassed looks and we go on our way.

And then it happens again. And again. And again. Each and every one of the last six years this lady has tried to buy me in goats to be her son’s wife.

A couple years ago when we were waiting in line to get inside my mom jokingly said that they should accept this year and see what she’d do and I completely refused because it was mortifying enough as it was.

One year we brought my friend with us and we’re waiting outside and my sister was like “Are you gonna sell Kee this year?” and my dad was like “Maybe if there’s enough goats” and my friend was confused as heck and I was like “This lady tries to buy me to marry her son every year. I told you that” and she’s like “Yeah but I didn’t think this was a thing that actually happened” and she was still skeptical and by the time my parents had finished refusing the lady’s offer, she’s killing herself laughing and then spent the next few months telling me I couldn’t look at guys because I already had a fiancée.

Anyway, it happened again this Christmas and the son has somehow gotten almost ridiculously attractive since last year. The speech this year had something to do with how I was far too old to not have a husband yet, and the son and I just rolled our eyes at each other as his mom tried to barter with my parents for me.

This year’s offer was twenty six goats and nine chickens. My sister looked up how much goats are worth, and was mad our parents didn’t sell me so she could have sold the goats and gotten $2000-$8000 for them. My dad says they’re waiting out on an offer of a camel. My brother thinks they should have it more than once a year so he can get more apple cider.

Now I’m back at uni, and in my first psych class of the semester the guy sitting beside me looked really familiar.

As in his-mom-tries-to-buy-me-with-goats-every-Christmas familiar.

That kind of familiar.

We introduced ourselves before class started and I sat there for a couple minutes readying to make a total fool of myself in case I was wrong before turning to him again.

“This is going to sound really weird if you aren’t who I think you are, but by any chance does your mom try to buy you a wife with goats every Christmas?”

His friend gives me a weird look as he walks past me to sit on the other side of him, but he’s definitely putting the pieces together.

“That’s you? Bethlehem in [city name], right? God, my mom is so mortifying.”

And we both kinda laugh and meanwhile his friend is giving us both weird looks now because apparently he didn’t know that his friend’s mom was trying to buy him a wife using livestock.

So he turns to his friend and is like

“Oh, I forgot to introduce you. Danny, this is my fiancée, Kee.”

And I kinda rolled my eyes and was like

“I’m not actually your fiancée. Your mom hasn’t offered my parents enough goats yet. But apparently my dad will sell me for a camel.”

And he laughed and shook his head like

“I am not telling my mom that. I don’t want to see what she has planned for if your parents ever accept.”

So yeah. His friend was really confused by that point and we explained it to him and it turns out he’s pretty cool and we’re Facebook friends now and hang out in psych classes. Apparently his mom only ever tries to buy me for him and she and my mom had gone to the same church growing up which is why she can always pick us out.

So yeah. That’s the story of how some lady tries to use goats to buy me to be her ridiculously attractive son’s wife every Christmas, and how he’s in my class and we’re friends now.

Executive dysfunction life hack

Instead of telling yourself, “I should get up,” or “I should do this,”

Ask yourself, “When will I get up?” or “When will I be ready to do this?”

Instead of trying to order yourself to feel the signal to do something, which your brain is manifestly bad at, listen to yourself with compassionate curiosity and be ready to receive the signal to move when it comes.

‘am i Having A Brain Problem or Being a Shithead’: a short procrastination checklist

aka why tf am i procrastinating on The Thing (more like a flowchart, actually)

lots of people who have executive function difficulties worry about whether they’re procrastinating on a task out of laziness/simply wanting to be a jerk or mental struggles. this checklist might help you figure out which it is at any given time! (hint: it’s almost never laziness or being a jerk.) (obligatory disclaimer: this is just what works for me! something different might work better for you.)

1) do I honestly intend to start the task despite my lack of success?

yes: it’s a Brain Problem. next question

no: it’s shitty to say one thing & do another. better be honest with myself & anyone expecting me to do the task.

2) am I fed, watered, well-rested, medicated properly, etc?

yes: next question

no: guess what? this is the real next task

3) does the idea of starting the task make me feel scared or anxious?

yes: Anxiety Brain. identify what’s scaring me first.

no: next question

4) do I know how to start the task?

yes: next question

no: ADHD Brain. time to make an order of operations list.

5) do I have everything I need to start the task?

yes: next question

no: ADHD Brain lying to me about the steps again, dangit. first task is ‘gather the materials’.

6) why am i having a hard time switching from my current task to this new task?

i’m having fun doing what i’m doing: it’s okay to have fun doing a thing! if task is time-sensitive, go to next question.

i have to finish doing what i’m doing: might be ADHD brain. can I actually finish the current task or will I get trapped in a cycle? does this task really need to be finished?

the next task will be boring/boring-er than the current task: ADHD brain. re-think the next task. what would make it exciting? what am I looking forward to?

I might not have enough time to complete the task: ADHD brain wants to finish everything it starts. (if task is time-sensitive, go to next question)

i just want to make the person who asked me to do it angry: sounds like anxiety brain trying to punish itself, because I know I’ll be miserable if someone is angry at me. why do i think I deserve punishment?

no, I seriously want to piss them off: okay, i’m being a shithead

7) have I already procrastinated so badly that I now cannot finish the task in time?

yes: ADHD brain is probably caught in a guilt-perfection cycle. since I can’t have the task done on time, i don’t even want to start.

reality check: having part of a thing done is almost always better than none of a thing done. if I can get an extension, having part of it done will help me keep from stalling out until the extension deadline. i’ll feel better if I at least try to finish it.

no, there’s still a chance to finish on time: ADHD brain thinks that I have all the time in the world, but the truth is I don’t.

reality check: if i’m having fun doing what I’m doing, I can keep doing it, but I should probably set a timer & ask someone to check on me to make sure I start doing the task later today.

8) I’ve completed the checklist and still don’t know what’s wrong!

probably wasn’t honest enough with myself. take one more look.

if I’m still mystified, ask a friend to help me talk it out.

hope this helps some of you! YOU’RE DOING GREAT SWEETIE DON’T GIVE UP ON YOU

do you ever just think about Jesus living here on earth

i think sometimes we tend to think He just bounced from one miracle to another and everyday was a Bible story but His ministry lasted for three years and the Gospels don’t actually cover that much so

imagine all those ordinary days??

He probably had favorite foods and morning routines and sore dirty feet from walking while sweat ran in His eyes in the hot Judean sun and He got blisters and hiccups and colds and maybe He snored

all the times He laughed till He cried and i bet He had inside jokes with His disciples. imagine having an inside joke with the person who gives you breath to laugh in the first place

and He had human skills He knew how to build a house and cook and wash his clothes and read

passing food at the dinner table and bumping hands with Jesus

talking about silly inconsequential things like the weather

maybe some nights John was sleepy and he leaned against Jesus and could hear His heartbeat

maybe some nights a disciple had insomnia and he climbed out of his bedroll to find Jesus sitting against a rock, looking up at heaven, and they sat and watched the stars together

(the God of the universe looking up through short-sighted eyes at His creation, and the disciple wants so badly to ask what it was like to shape each star, but he looks at those calloused human hands and something in him trembles)

do you ever think that the ordinary days so far outnumbered the miraculous ones that the disciples, sometimes, almost forgot

and then He goes and turns water into wine and feeds five thousand people from a kid’s lunch and brings dead Lazarus walking alive out of the tomb and they just kind of lose their breath

not because they didn’t expect deity to accomplish the impossible but because this God has been livingwith them

it’s not the miracles that are unthinkable
