⸝⸝ DEILIX - image id in alt id & under cut

(dependent + anisolix)

a DPD experience in which it affects how you show affection, social bonds, love, and/or care in general. It may feel submissive, inconsistent, overwhelming, or overall different to how people without DPD experience these things, and may cause issues with forming relationships or bonds. DPD version of anisolix by psychopunks & narcilix by obnebulant-mogai

coined by div ! original flag & orientation by psychopunks, flag based on one and two

(alt id ; two side-by-side flags. they are nearly identical, except for the middle stripe. this stripe is darker in the right flag. the flags have nine equally-sized stripes, which have the following colours from top to bottom: rose gold, dull pink, faded purple, solid pink, grape purple / dark scarlet, metallic blue, grey, pale chestnut, pale apricot.)

My fiancée told me it’d be cool to have an alternate comic cover since I’m coming back to the series again and I was like damn baby that’s a good idea

This time, my Insecurity is seriously flared up. Answer me this, please: Am I a bad son? Because I have a severe dependency on my dad, and yet I've hidden things from him. Namely (and most relevant for right now) I've hidden all my posts here from him. He knows I have this account, he just doesn't know I've written nearly 10,000 posts. I created this account in like 2021 or so. I didn't use it for a few months, and then I did. But a few months after I started posting, my mom begins dying. It's been a year or two since then, of course. But I'm now overthinking and arguing philosophy. Am I a bad person for never telling my dad? I mean, it's not like I've said where I live. Actually, not true. I accidentally did once or twice. But I've never shown my face or said precisely where I live. I knew that much. Still, I feel like I'm in too deep to tell him without feeling shame and embarrassment now. So I don't know when I'll be able to do it. I don't know. All I know for now is that I need to know I'm not bad for this. This is a pretty minor secret, right? It's not like I hid a drug problem or something from him.

I tell him my dad about absolutely everything (except this blog and my sexuality stuff). I'm severely dependent on him, since he's my only friend and stuff. So now I feel guilty. So please, put me at ease. I'm not awful for this. Am I? This is the most serious secret I've ever kept from him, so that's why I feel bad. But this is a pretty minor thing to keep hidden, right? right? It's not like it's something criminal. So it's okay. I'm not a monster. I'm not a horrible person. Sigh...

He was always turned toward delight. Without him, I am not sure what axis I am on, if I can turn at all.

I am enough. And I have enough. I deserve happiness. I am grateful for all that I am, and I take pride in who I am today.

If your Christianity depends upon a pastor's preaching, then you're a long way from being where you should be.

I do have dependency issues. I should probably discuss this with my therapist at some point, but for now I'll make a vent post on here (and hope not to get judged too strongly):

I'm 19, and I'm very dependent on my dad. One could argue this is both our faults. I'm very lazy and dependent, while he doesn't really give significant pushback. I know I probably need to learn to do more things for myself, but then I have to acknowledge I'm growing up and that sooner than later I could end up alone. And I don't want to think about that. There's a reason my ideal life would be having a personal nurse or housekeeper or maid/butler to do all this stuff for me. And just so you know what I can't do:

• I can't cook. I've never tried, and I'm too scared to try.

• I can't run my own baths or showers. I can wash myself on my own and turn the water off on my own (I'm not that bad), but I can't start it on my own.

• I can't get my own water. Or maybe I can, but I'm too lazy to and never really learned to. But I probably could do it if I really had to.

• I can't shave on my own. I need help with that one too, especially with my ridiculously low pain tolerance.

This is just some of it. I could try and keep going, but this post is getting too long (and it's also getting kind of rough to keep thinking about it).

There is no death without life. Therefore, death depends entirely on life.
