2023 has been a bitch of a year. There’s been lots of personal shit going on in my life which has made it really, just, awful.

My mental health isn’t the most stable of things. I’ve got a long history of it having ups, but mostly downs. The file is thick, with diagnoses and various professionals all giving their opinions on them.

So when Good Omens S2 sent me into a two-week depression spiral, I had a panic-driven breakdown. Can I not enjoy my favourite things anymore? Is anything sad or even emotional going to destroy my mental health? Can I not be ME anymore? I felt lost and genuinely was grieving.

Thankfully after two weeks the cloud lifted and whilst I still love GO with the same depth & passion as always, I’m no longer bursting into tears various times a day or feeling panicked or rudderless about it all.

I’d initially put it down to the surgery if had about five weeks before GO2 came out (hysterectomy; they took everything, so my hormones are fckd). Just being hysterical in the old fashioned sense.

But reading some things today really made me think. Sure, my hormones were deserting me faster than MPs did Liz Truss, but…it was DEEPER than that.

I ‘safely’ tucked all my emotions away in December when what would be the Shit of 2023 was starting.

It came out occasionally in the early months but especially from March-July it was shut away tightly.

But then Ep6 happened and I just…broke. But not in a bad way, more in a…beautifully appreciating art way. Appreciating the beautiful writing. The sensational acting. The emotions on the screen which had been missing in my head.

But my mental illnesses interpreted it as “you’ve lost your mind again, now cry all the time, you’re sad, did you hear something, do you think others heard that or just you, maybe, now cry some more, ok, now your brain will just…float away outside your head for a bit…before coming back to make you cry again…when you least expect it”

But after two weeks it stopped. And then the full love and appreciation and JOY of S2 hit me. I’ve just been wanting to send Neil Gaiman a message saying “thank you” but he gets enough of those so I won’t bother him.

And I’m just so in awe. In awe of the subtle emotional plays on Michael & David’s faces. The emotions I’ve not been managing but do feel. The gestures, the body language, both subtle and overt. But especially the facial expressions. The EXPRESSIONS.

I know Neil has said there won’t be a script book for S2 but I’d love so much to see the directions for the more emotional scenes to see how much my fkd up brain is reading (in)correctly.

Anyway. That’s my thoughts on the beautiful, emotional and absolutely amazing writing and acting that we’ve once again gotten from Neil, Michael & David.

“Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?”

#Frankenstein #gothic literature #gothic lit art #victor frankenstein #happy new year lads #ive been thinking about nothing else but them for the past 3 days #been trying to figure out a decent design for victor and i think im getting closer #he needs to have a cruelness to him #and he needs to be kind of pathetic #someone who the creature could snap in half yknow #and i need to make the creature more Mean looking but it just feels right to draw him sad and despairing #THAT BEING SAID i think i did a good job here hehe #henry is next :)))#my art #illustration

What a sweet and powerful gesture. It's frustrating when people say "what do you expect them to do? they're entertainers not activists!" look at how simple this gesture of solidarity is and how resonant it is! This is wonderful.

#it's been so long since i cried out of anything but sadness but this just made me so happy that i couldn't help it #free palestine #witch hat atelier #kamome shirahama #handala

Zelda goes mushroom girl

#tloz #a link to the past #zelda #link #my art #I was happy with that first one but for some reason decided it still needed a companion piece so I spent way too long on that second one...#I don't think there was any time during the progress where I was happy with it but hfduhdfu at least I got to Attempt drawing moss hell yea #I also at some point sat in Pyu's art stream and said I enjoy drawing legs As I was being murdered by the infamously impossibe (imo) squat.#it's ok I had fun !! but I need to learn how to let doodles be doodles or I'll never finish stuff at this rate dfsuhfd #if everything in my tloz tag looks like it was drawn by different people uuuh 2023 was art crisis year ngl......#I'm falling back into my old ways rn though #anyway I think about these two a lot I think they're both stone faced and awkward ppl in different ways but they try rly hard to be friends #like I like to think it starts out so incredibly awkward and a bit sad bc they keep stepping over each other's toes accidentally the harder #they try but idk they find comfy middle ground idk in my brain they have a very interesting friendship I wanna get around to drawing it #in a proper way that might make sense....#if I don't write 200 tags I will die maybe it's bc I grew up on dA or smth #and yes I know how to find 1 (one) type of mushroom /I/ am not mushroom girl unfortunately smh

enough stories about how someone learns to truely be happy through love. i want a story where someone is desperately seeking out love thinking it's the only way to be happy only for them to learn by the end that happiness is what they make of it and they don't need love at all to make it.

#aro #aromantic #ace #asexual #aroace #loveless aro #loveless #non-partnering #nonpartnering #non partnering #nonamorous #aplatonic #enough of amatonormative tropes in media!!! enough 'you're miserable without love' stories!!!#less “you're too focused on ambitions to make you happy that you dont let yourself fall in love”#more “you're too focused on finding love to make you happy that you wont let yourself live”#more “there is so much more to life than love and so much more that can bring your happiness if you just let yourself experience it.”#maybe I should write this story #and when i say love i mean all love. not just romantic love.#which is why i tagged aplatonic too #while i mostly see this trope in terms of romantic love i think there's something to be said about #telling stories where people are perfectly content alone too #it doesn't have to be sad or pathetic to not have friends by choice. they dont have to be a miserable person to not have friends #i think we need more variety in stories where it shows people just content in their lack of love or relationships in all shapes #not everyone wants a family not everyone wants friends not everyone wants a partner not everyone wants love #some of us are content without. that should be explored without the need to fix it.
