I took a shower in complete darkness and I gotta say as a paranoid autistic person it was wack! You'd expect to have a sensory overload(which showers are already overwhelming cause the noise of the water) but it was weirdly the opposite??

My senses plummeted. My hearing became oddly quiet(I had music at full volume but it weirdly got quieter over time) and my depth perception sucked(well more than normal anyway)! I was paranoid the whole time and having to calm myself down throughout.

The entire time I was worried someone would appear. I already don't like the dark(I literally have Christmas lights on in my room 24/7 only turning them off if I have a migraine) weirdly I had to keep reminding myself the the room was dark I couldn't see so that would mean someone else couldn't see either

All in all weird experience! Would likely forget and do it again!

The trans experience is showering with all lights off sometimes because othwerise you wouldn't shower at all

If you never had a shower in the dark with the lights off go do it because it is amazing

Specially if you play your favourite song while doing it

I can’t explain it is just very soothing not having a blast light on your face

you have to be at least a little delusional in order to lead a happy life

I know how it feels to suck. Your bed is not made, you are eating two days old fast food leftovers, you haven't moved your body for fun in weeks or years, you don't open a book to read or study unless you have no option, if you have a instrument it's probably rotting in the loft. I understand. I have been there and when you reflect on it, it sucks. We suck sometimes and it's not fine but it's normal. The thing with adulting is that you exactly get to decide where your life should go to wherever you may be led. So starting with a ten minute walk everyday is better than a four hour gym session once a week, reading a page a day is better than scrolling on instagram, drinking a smoothie is better than the chocolate milkshake. Life is too short to keep cutting out the good things. We can focus on adding on and swapping out while learning to live and love. We can binge on the good things and be better than the rest. It's true although, that sometimes we might suck.

The Cottage Book, 1989

bruce wayne is so unserious to me. like this man has the word “bat” in front of every word. he makes himself little batarangs and batboots and has a bat signal that he shows up for. he sits in his batcave and makes himself cute little bat accessories for his little bat suit. his utility belt is basically a fanny pack. he stands in dark corners and says shit like “i am vengeance” “i am the night” unironically. he has a clan of bat children. he’s just such a fucking loser i love him.

You know, it's kind of baffling to me when people insist that THEIR Durge would never have so much as liked Gortash, romantically or otherwise.

Even without the new lines, The Prayer for Forgiveness has always been there, proving that, at the very least, The Dark Urge admired Gortash so much that it caused a crisis of faith.

A crisis of faith in Bhaal's own child literally carved from his gore, made specifically to be Bhaal's perfect child.

This has all been said before, but The Dark Urge is an ORIGIN character (and being able to change their appearance makes SENSE, when you consider the propensity of shapeshifters in Bhaalist lore. Literally the form you choose for Durge is just the form Bhaal chose).

Claiming "My Durge would have never liked Gortash" is like saying "My Gale never liked Mystra," or "My Wyll would have never signed a contract with Mizora," or even "My Karlach would have never worked for Gortash."

Maybe your TAV wouldn't have ever done those things, but Origin characters have solidified backstories. Even if your Durge is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT person post-tadpole, the facts of who they were BEFORE the events of the game are as in-game factual as Gale's past relationship with Mystra, Wyll's contract with Mizora, or Lae'zel's upbringing with the Gith.

If you want to headcanon something else for your playthrough, cool, but insisting that events that are CANON cannot be interpreted in a way that you don't enjoy doesn't make sense.

angelo & keelie, two monster high teachers I came up with in a dream (they're roommates)

[image ID: several digital drawings featuring angelo (he/him), a thin living statue with grey stone skin and hair, dressed in layered grey robes and a laurel; and keelie (he/they), a short thin vampire with pale skin, dark red curly hair, stubble, and glasses, dressed in earth-toned layers. the first image shows the monster high crest and the text, "monster high characters I came up with in a dream." the second image is angelo's character sheet, showing a full body drawing of him with the following text: "angelo marblearch. living statue. art teacher. made entirely of marble. likes to make himself clothes and costumes. passionate about creativity. encourages students to be themselves and experiment. easily distracted. very self-confident." the third image is keelie's character sheet, showing a full body drawing next to the text: "keelie dearg. vampire. lit teacher. irish. writes poetry. likes to sing but avoids it unless alone, (can hypnotize people by singing). very kind a sweet. very old, grandpa vibes. mistaken for a student if clean-shaven. has a quote for every situation." the fourth image is of both of them, keelie blushing and shielding his eyes, saying, "angelo! will you please put some clothes on?" to angelo, who, fresh from the shower and wearing only a towel around his neck, points to his head and calmly replies, "I'm wearing a laurel, aren't I?" with a censor bar over his butt. the fifth image is of them standing side by side with the text, "outfit swap." angelo is dressed in a vest, collared shirt, slacks, and glasses of keelie's, and keelie is crumpled on the ground under the heavy layers of angelo's robes and laurel, shaking and sweating as they say, "ow ow ow, please help," with a little text label that reads "stone clothes" with an arrow pointing at the robes. end ID]
