Bro has the most beautiful eyes😭 bro is so loved, it hurts😭

“Nobara is starting at your school in two days.” - Here's some fanart for @missingn000's amazing fic The Phantom Guardian! A new chapter is dropping tomorrow! And while this isn't a scene from the fic, before everything almost certainly goes awry and these kids end up debating ideals (as is standard for any new dynamic in this fic), I wanted to draw my wildly unrealistic hopes and dreams of them immediately getting along! And what better way to bond with a new classmate than finding a box of kittens? Look at them being besties! :)

a whole lotta rambling below the cut!

Here's all the kittens in the box and who would get who! I wanted Yuuji to have a dumb orange boy (who he could name Tiger) and then everyone else is just vibe based. I like to imagine Maki's has beef with Toji but loves everyone else. As to why i drew them finding kittens when this isnt in the fic whatsoever, i simply could not stop thinking about how it's a shame that only the gojo and getou families have pets (puppies and man-eating dragon respectfully). Especially when these kids would be able to get pets so easily! Toji would agree to just about anything that would make Maki happy, Nobara can just bully higuruma into letting the cat stay, and Nanami would likely already agree if the boys asked but if Toge expressed a want then they can just automatically win (also if the nanami family gets some cats then shoko has even more reason to visit-) As for the drawing! I absolutely had to include Yuuji's light up shoes (also know that I didn't draw them but in my heart Nobara is wearing bella ballerina sketchers) I'm like 100% certain that Maki is meant to have her blunt bangs and rectangle glasses, but JJK 0 Maki's design is my favorite and so it's the one I used. Yuuji and Maki have matching friendship bracelets! Yuuji is also wearing one that goes with Toge's poking out of his sleeve, and Maki's second is for Gojo! also Maki like, absolutely would not have a phone like that based on the year it is in the fic, but tbh I simply did not want to try and draw an older phone ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ANYWAY! I hope you like the art, Chi! I haven't really made fanart before, so I hope I did okay~

thoughts on nxx as antidepressants please

weeping at this ask. i see my blog has reached INCOMPREHENSIBLE levels of nxx headcanons. im so honored....

that being said, i dont have much experience with antidepressants actually, so to honor the "write what you know" adage, i will be veering outside of antidepressants to anxiety meds and mood stabilizers that i do have more lived experience with. that being said, im not a doctor, but a patient. take all this with a grain of salt.

without further ado

the nxx boys as psychiatric medications ive taken

luke = pregabalin (used to treat anxiety, but ALSO used to treat nerve pain. i was prescribed this not for psych reasons actually but to treat a neurological issue i had, and i wouldnt be surprised if pregabalin was included in luke's list of treatments for his own neurological illness. the anxiety bit also seems fitting for luke because hes the type to endlessly worry himself with all the worse case scenarios, sometimes to his (and others') detriment)

-

artem = escitalopram. (baby's first antidepressant!! it was my first, and i think it fits artem well cuz it's used to treat both depression and anxiety, two things i think he has an abundance of. artem gets prescribed this and immediately goes into a self-worth crisis for even needing to take medication. "im really faulty, arent i..." artem thinks. chin up, artem, it aint all that bad!)

-

vyn = aripiprazole. (im currently taking aripiprazole as an adjunct medication working together with another thing im taking, and that seems to fit vyn's role as a psychiatrist/psychologist well; somebody to help you along the way in ur mental health journey along with other treatments. plus, aripiprazole is similarly hard to say just like adjudicator)

-

marius = lamotrigine. (this is an anti-epileptic medication thats also used as a mood stabilizer for bipolar disorder, and this one is marius primarily because it's the meds i have the hiGHEST DOSAGE FOR, THE PILL IS SO BIG, IT IS MAKING ITSELF KNOWN, just like marius' general 'in your face' facade. my reasoning for this is weakest among the boys, yes, but who knows. marius could have bipolar disorder like me. actually, all of the boys and mc could be bipolar. they all found each other like manic depressive magnets. sorry, what was this part about? i seem to have meandered. oh right. MARIUS. LAMOTRIGINE.)

-

thank you for this ask, anon. it gave me a hearty laugh

So I work at a library and about a month ago I helped a little old woman who is legally blind figure out how to listen to our audiobooks on her tablet. We got to chatting and I mentioned that I always listen to audiobooks while I knit, which made her very excited and she told me all about the afghans she used to make when she could still see. She was so sweet and I was so glad to be able to help her figure out a way to still enjoy books without being able to read.

Yesterday I answered the phone at work and when I said my name the woman on the other line got so excited and said “Madeline?? You’re exactly who I wanted to talk to! This is Marie, you helped me about a month ago. How late are you working today?” It was her!! And about an hour later she and her husband showed up, and she was carrying a huge stack of old knitting patterns for me, and her husband brought in a few boxes full of yarn. They couldn’t stay long but I was so touched that she remembered me, and I struggled to not just flat out start crying when she handed me the patterns. When I looked through them later I realized it was her entire personal collection from over the years, including all her personal notes and drawings and even some photographs of her finished pieces. No one in my family knits, and to have someone pass on their legacy to me like that was incredibly moving.

This isn’t what I usually post here, but with life being especially dark lately I wanted to share a moment of happiness and a reminder that a bit of kindness goes a long way ♡

*listens to ur heart with a stethoscope* *takes ur temperature* *flashes a light in ur eyes* yep…. it’s exactly as i expected…. ur really cute….. *writes a prescription for lots of kisses*

the palestinian red crescent released an audio recording of their emergency worker rana, who was on the phone with hind for over three hours, trying to keep her calm. she makes her recite the fatiha (one of the opening verses of the quran that all children know) and the sound of rana holding back tears as she tries to stay calm for hind, and hind's baby voice repeating after her dutifully is really breaking something in me. i am living, as we all are, but there is a part of me that will remember this and so many other things until the day i die.
