Call this one an experiment in a little something different, darlings~

We all have hard days, and some harder than most. So, perhaps a few words of comfort from some of our most beloved characters.

I may expand on these later to be fuller pieces of comfort, but only if that's something people feel they'd wish to see. So do let me know if it should go on my list, for more with these characters and additions of other favourites too~ I can probably so a short piece from anyone, given a little time to get under their skin and find their motivation/voice.

There's going to be some mild tw/cw for mental health, mention of scars, and subtle implications of pain/hurt/etc.

Astarion: "Darling, look into my eyes. That's right, keep your focus right here. Listen to my voice, breathe slowly. No more tears alone, love, you are a light in my endless night and I shall not let your flame burn low. You and I, we are more than the scars we never should have earned, and we are certainly far stronger than any blade or bow that has ever tried to take us down. You still do not believe it? You are here, living and breathing, despite all of your worst days. Now, one day at a time, darling, one foot in front of the other. No stumble can erase how far you have come."

---

Halsin: "I am here, my heart, what do you need? No shadow curse or vile beast can reach you from within my arms, no force of nature can tear you from them either. Take all the time you need, my love, I will not leave. Your tears are your strength, not your shame. Let me teach you of all I see within you, your boundless potential proving the acorn can become the oak. I see how you shelter others with your leaves, so let us - let me - hold you through the storm. Your boughs may bend but they will not break."

---

Abdirak: "You endure your pain so well Dear One, but you must stop believing you deserve it. Pain is a gift, it can be loving, and deliver that love to Loviatar. But it must never break, it must not be delivered without purpose. Do not be so foolish as to believe your own hand is purpose enough. Let me show you the right pains, Dear One, the pain that can heal you. No others shall be permitted to taint the art that is you with sullied brushes."

---

Raphael: "Little Mouse, you have set quite the trap for yourself, haven't you? Need I remind you exactly who you made a deal with? No. I shall not permit our agreement to be tainted, not by any insignificant insect that would dare to sting my prey. Do not look so forlorn, Little Mouse, your nickname is not an insult. You might be in the presence of a cat, and you would do well to remember that little fact, but a mouse can be swift, cunning, and survive against impossible odds. That is why I trust you, and no other, to bring me what I want most. It is why I offer you a deal that is almost entirely in your favour - no other could expect such generosity, Little Mouse, so keep that in mind. You are my favourite client, and I shall let none break you. Not even yourself."

---

Haarlep: "Ah my Little Thief, you wish to steal yourself away? No, I shall not have that. How bold you were to look me in the eye and to broker your own deal! I could have killed you the moment you stepped into my abode uninvited, but that, Little Thief, would have been such a terrible waste. You noticed, did you not? When I saw you, when I truly saw you, that I did not see just a body stood brazenly staring me down without a scrap of cloth to cover you. I saw potential, so very much delicious potential. Come now, lie back, tell your dear Haarlep what troubles you, and I shall erase every last one from your mind."

---

A bonus, from Tavylia Sin, to one and all.

Tavylia: "Hello, darling. I see you, I really do. I can see how tightly you hold on, how easily the little hope you cling to can slip through your fingers. I know you may never read this, I know you may never hear it, but perhaps someone else like you will read this instead and that will be enough. You are too unkind to yourself, even as you show endless understanding and patience to those around you. They love you, darling, they cherish you even when you don't hear it. I know you need to hear it , though, and I don't begrudge you the comfort of soft words. Just...remember them, love. Remember every moment you were heard, every time you were adored just the way you are, and know those feelings are still there. A heart of love is not emptied by a single moment of you not believing in yourself, your worth is not measured by what you provide. Your worth is within yourself. I see it, others do too. Take comfort, darling, you are never ever alone. I am with you, near or far, and my love for you will not fade. If you cannot believe in yourself for now, trust that we believe in you. Rest, love, the dawn brings a new day and you are always a pleasant part of mine."

NSVs that people are starting to notice

Intentional weight loss as one of my forms of self care

I’ve dropped one clothes size and that’s actually something that people are commenting on. I got a really lovely compliment about my waistline yesterday right before Pilates (I was wearing form-fitting exercise clothes) and I do absolutely love it!

I have no issues with compliments because my weight loss is intentional. And it’s simply going back to the size I was before really bad mental health and plenty of traumatic events hit hard and took a very serious toll on me. So this is me showing myself the care I deserve.

I feel more comfortable and confident and I think we all deserve that (and the size is going to be different for different people).

I can do my Apple Watch strap tighter and that’s also a relief for me. Just the way I used to comfortably wear it.

My goal is to drop 1-2 more sizes (sizing is weird and I can tell the difference in different countries and between shops is huge) and then simply tone up and gain strength and flexibility. I love active hobbies and I want to live life to the fullest. I finally understand I deserve more than painfully existing.

Past really depressed me who had lost all the will to live would never believe where I’m at now ❤️

Title: Entangled in diffuse bursts of hope (and also hopelessness)

I used colorful ballpoint pens for that quick doodle.

The word "Hope" is entangled into a torus-like loop. I used the rainbow colors in a gradient-like manner. I started drawing the "H" in dark blue, continued with the "o" in light blue, then the "p" in light green and light blue, then the "e" in light green. I continued with the spiral flowing out of the green e - looping it around the word "hope" until the radius of the spiral approaches zero in the letter "o". I went from green to yellowish, to orange to red.

Then I continued with the other side of that torus-like spiral/loop: I started at the dark blue "H" and drew the spiral around the word. I started with violet, continued with pink and then ended in red and closed the loop in the letter "o".

It"s not executed in a "high-effort manner", but I wanted to share the idea. It helped me cope with the depression. It kept my mind busy, offers a positive message and is colorful.

Nightly Walk to Nowhere

Streets glazed, drizzle on my overcoat,

my hands are cold, my steps still in the fog,

I sniffle, pull my hood up against the rain.

Damp cotton air, city noises drowned

in misty haze and metal screams

wailing in my ears, keeping me alert and sane.

Soggy leaves litter the ground,

soaked and fading yet serene,

my raging thoughts slow to a crawl.

Overhead dank old street lamps loom,

I sigh and fiddle with my shawl,

melancholy swallowing me whole.

Paling tear stains, drops of rain

their pitter-patter soothes my soul,

warding off depression's doom.

The blanket of dark, the cloak of night

swaddles my melancholic brain,

as I walk on in the gloom.

Around me fuzzy city lights

blearily bathe a city half asleep

in wilted amber light.

~Zephyrion Schattenflug

This one is the start of a new series I am working on and has already become deeply special.-Sometimes when I would be overly anxious or sad as a kid, I used to bury my hands and feet into the grass and listen to all the noises around me. At first, it would all just be loud buzzing and chaotic sounds, but as I would sit there digging my fingers and toes deeper into the soil, something magical would happen. The busy sounds would start to slow and transform into the soft chirping of crickets and frogs. Slowly but surely their little songs would help me forget that I was upset. - This was long before I ever understood what meditation was, but I knew that in those moments I was in my happy place. -

This series of illustrations will be called "Listen to the Frogs Sing" and I hope to show what that "happy place" looks and feels like. The ambitious part of me is hoping to turn this little collection into a short children's book as well but we will see how that goes <3

Hey, y'all.

I wanna take a second and apologize for my lack of activity. I know I probably don't really need to, but I feel I need to.

Losing my ability to play regularly was... far more painful than I realized. Not only did I lose connection to such a beautiful game, but I feel like I lost a reason to be here with you guys. Without something to contribute to the colorful world of content we all put out, I felt... I don't know how to describe it. Lost? Cut off? Like an outsider? Idk.

But I know it's cut into my posting. Yeah, I reblog stuff I think is cool, but I don't tag it to go back and check it out. And yeah, sometimes I'll answer an ask, but it doesn't hold the same joy for me anymore...

And I don't completely blame being unable to play. While yeah, it triggered a HUGE dip in my depression, how I handled that depression made it even worse. Choices were made, and I went places I knew were just gonna hurt me more. But I did it anyway to try and fill the void.

Anway, I don't want this to be another woe is me post. I just want you all to know I'm sorry. There's a lot I need to reevaluate in my life right now, and none of it is easy. But I do hope that now, I can start fresh and try again.

So stick around and keep your eyes on my feed. I'll be doing more to get a little more joy back into all of our lives ❤️

~ Poetry ~

Me ~ Heart and Soul

I looked around my world Once so real to me Now disguised in my words Dressed up in guises Turned to softest black I ask myself What's it worth My heart My soul I beg for tears Shed for me Some sympathy In this darkened place Of apathy

I want to know who we are

After I gave my heart away

Second guessing questions Never answered for me As I tie myself tight To this pain My walls closing in On me Fighting this fear So deep inside of me

I want to know

Where this is leading me

After I gave myself away Lost in this rhythmic repitition The beating of my heart A sting in my soul As no tears fall for me No sympathy In this black place This land of apathy

Sitting by myself In my world of malcontent Asking myself The cost of who I am Lost in who i was In everything i saw and I'm so sorry For tying myself to this pain For dragging everyone through my hell Just please don't turn away Read these words misleading Don't turn your back on me

Shed no tears For me Don't worry Over me Feel no sympathy Concerning me

No fears

for me Don't let your tears fall

for me Everyones already lost me In this dark place As they read my words Misguiding As I become A phantom Lost inside my heart My soul

I want to know what my worth is

after i bleed everything away Drowning in the sympathy I push away So gracefully Masquerading So gently Misleading Disguised in this softest black As I say you've lost me In these tears Falling all over me Concealing Breathing through me

I looked around my world That was once so real to me Now confused in my words Hidden in disguises Faded to darkest gray I reveal to myself What they're worth My heart My soul Turn from tears Shed for me The sympathy In this wretched place Of safe apathy

I beg you Forget me

after i gave everything in me So gently weeping My words Misleading As you lose me Tethered to this pain Locked so tight Behind these walls And I'm losing the fight So deep inside me I want to know what else i can give

After you took my heart

My soul Tenderly Quietly Gently Hiding from the world All around me -masquerading- -disguising- Turn your back On me All my fears Melting away In my tears My words Misleading Forget me Your sympathy This apathy Concealing me

Let me forget these times of pain My shame Your blame Worth more Than my heart My soul I looked upon my world Lost to me And I just want to ask The worth of my words As you read me Feel my apathy Concerning me To my heart My soul Don't cry for me Feel sympathy No heart ache for me No empathy Feel nothing for me Just don't leave Don't turn from me Stay here Hate me Despise me Use me So aggressively Tie me to your pain So hatefully My tears I feel Don't fall for me My empathy Not meant for me The doll in this world Perfect failure Lost in who I am Alone and empty again Empty heart Empty soul My cost So fleeting Misleading Apathy consuming * * * * * I looked upon my world That's taken everything from me Misleading me Consuming what's left My heart My soul Until there is nothing left Of me

I feel like more characters should be considering suicide when they hit rock bottom. Super unrealistic that that thought doesn’t even come up ONCE when they lose their jobs, lose their friends and family and completely ruin their lives. I’m over here having a single bad conversation and that’s the ONLY thing going on in my head. COME ON. GIVE ME REALISTIC AGONY

#I may have depression but so should more fictional characters #bc I hate when they just get sad and eat ice cream and cry at a sad animal movie #NO ONE COPES LIKE THAT #depression #coping with depression #movie chats

One of the things a guy like me does to get his intimacy juice when he gets lonely;

Take cute pictures of his AC crushes smiling big, bright, and giddily.

What do you think? 🤔

To make up for not being productive on my free Tuesday afternoon, I used my suddenly entirely free Thursday before con to make cookies and candles.

I meant to take a picture of the cookie on its own but I totally forgot and ate the whole thing by the time I sat down.

Making the first layers of the candle

Finishing up that last layer

Letting it cool down

And the final product! I'm calling it..

Simplified Sunset!

Somatic Therapy: How It Can Help You Heal Faster

Somatic therapy is a form of therapy that focuses on the mind-body connection. It is a holistic approach that addresses a person's physical, emotional, and psychological aspects. Somatic therapy aims to help individuals release stress, tension, and trauma that may be stored in the body.

Somatic therapy is based on the idea that body holds onto emotional and psychological pain and that this pain can manifest itself in physical symptoms.

This awareness can help individuals identify and release the tension and trauma that may be stored in the body.

There are various types of somatic therapy, each with its own unique approach. Some examples include somatic experiencing, the Hakomi Method, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Somatic therapy can treat various mental and emotional health issues, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Understanding Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy is a type of therapy recognizes the connection between the mind and body. It focuses on physical sensations and experiences of the body to promote emotional and psychological healing. Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic therapy involves psychotherapy and physical therapies to provide holistic healing.

Somatic therapy is based on the principle that our bodies hold onto emotional and psychological traumas, which can manifest as physical symptoms. By addressing these physical symptoms, somatic therapy aims to release the stored emotions and promotes healing. This approach can be particularly effective for individuals who have experienced traumas, anxiety, depression, or chronic pain.

Somatic therapy utilizes various techniques to help individuals connect with their bodies and promote healing. Some common methods include breathing exercises, movement therapy, touch therapy, mindfulness meditation. These techniques can help individuals become more aware of their physical sensations and emotions, leading to a deeper understanding of their emotional and psychological experiences.

One of the critical benefits of somatic therapy is that it can be used in conjunction with other forms of therapy. For example, somatic therapy can be used alongside cognitive-behavioral therapy to treat anxiety or depression. This integrated approach can provide a more comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the physical and emotional aspects of a personal experience.

History of Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy has its roots in the physical education movements of the 19th century. It included practices such as yoga, pilates and judo which aimed to promote physical and mental well-being. However, it was in the 20th century that somatic therapy because a distinct field of study.

One of the most prominent schools of somatics is the Feldendrais Method, developed by Moshe Feldendrais in the mid-20th century. The Feldendrais Method is based on the idea that we can improve our physical and mental health functioning by becoming more aware of our movements and sensations.

Another influential figure in the developmental of somatic therapy was Wilhelm Reich, a psychoanalyst who believed that psychological problems were caused by "body armor" or chronic muscle tension. Reich developed a technique called "character analysis," which aimed to release this tension and promote emotional healing.

In the 1960s and 1970s, somatic therapy became widely recognized as a legitimate form of therapy. This was partly due to the work of Thomas Hanna, who founded the field of somatic education. Hanna believed that chronic muscular tension was the major cause of physical and emotional problems, and he developed a system of exercises and movements designed to release this tension.

Somatic therapy treats many physical and mental health problems, including chronic pain, anxiety, depression, and trauma. It is based on the idea that the mind and body are interconnected and that working with the body can promote healing and well-being in both realms.

Principles of Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. It is based on the principle that our physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts are interconnected. In this section, we will discuss the core principles of somatic therapy, including the mind-body connection, self-regulation, and holistic approach.

Mind-Body Connection

The mind-body connection is a fundamental principle of somatic therapy. The principle recognizes that our physical sensations and emotions are interconnected. When we experience emotional stress or trauma our bodies respond with physical sensations such as tension, pain, or discomfort. Similarly, when we experience physical pain or discomfort, it can affect our emotional well-being.

Somatic therapy aims to help individuals become more aware of their physical sensations, and emotions. By paying attention to these sensations, individuals can gain insight into their emotional and psychological states. This awareness can help individuals identify and address the underlying causes of their emotional and physical distress.

Self Regulation

Self-regulation is another core principle of somatic therapy. This principle emphasizes the importance of developing the ability to regulate our own emotions and physical sensations. Self-regulation involves identifying and managing our emotional and physical responses to stress and trauma.

Somatic therapy techniques can help individuals develop self-regulation skills. For example, deep breathing, exercise, mindfulness meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation can help individuals learn to regulate their physical and emotional responses to stress.

Holistic Approach

A holistic approach is a third core principle of somatic therapy. This principle recognizes that we are complex beings with physical, emotional, and spiritual dimension. Somatic therapy addresses all of these dimensions to promote overall health and well-being.

A holistic approach involves treating the whole person rather than just addressing specific symptoms or problems. Somatic therapy techniques can help individuals address physical symptoms, emotional distress, and spiritual concerns. For example, massage therapy, can help individuals address emotional distress and spiritual problems.

Breathing Techniques

Breathing techniques are another method used in somatic therapy. These techniques can help individuals regulate their breathing and reduce stress and anxiety. One example of a breathing technique used in somatic therapy is diaphragmatic breathing, which involves breathing deeply into the belly rather than shallowly into the chest.

Another technique in the 4-7-8 breathing technique,which involves inhaling for 4 seconds, hold the breath for 7 seconds, and exhaling for 8 seconds. This technique can help individuals calm their nervous system and reduce stress.

Body Awareness

Body awareness exercises are other methods used in somatic therapy. These exercises can help individuals become more aware of their bodies and the sensations they are experiencing. One example of a body awareness exercise is the body scan, which involves focusing on each part of the body and noticing any sensations or tension.

Another example is progressive muscle relaxation, which involves tensing and then relaxing different muscles in the body. This can help individuals release tension and stress.

Benefits of Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy can help alleviate physical symptoms caused by trauma, such as chronic pain, tension, and headaches. By addressing the root cause of these symptoms, somatic therapy can help individuals achieve long-term relief.

Somatic therapy can also help individuals develop greater self-compassion and self-acceptance. Individuals can cultivate a greater sense of self-worth and self-love by learning to listen to their bodies and honor their physical needs.
