When talking about abuse, please be critical of the idea that abusers abuse because of fate, Scary Mental Disorders, their victims being bad/uncooperative, or because they "can't help it."
What may sound like an explanation for abuse to you honestly just sounds like justification and qualifications for abuse.
#mental health#mental health advocacy#abuse#abuse tw#abuse apologia#not sure if i specifically talked about this but now i am because this is Bothering me#like i'll talk about my stories about abuse and i just hate when the conversation is led to 'oh that was fate!!' or whatever#like i do think that that person wanted to comfort me but it just... sounded like taking the blame off of my abusers#and it just seemed to me like there was discomfort around saying 'those people harmed you. they had no right to do that'#i think some people have a very hard time with admitting that humans can be horrific to each other...#...and then admitting that somebody you *love* was in that position of being mistreated...#...but i don't think that makes downplaying abuse/the experiences of survivors right...#...because that is essentially putting in earplugs and going 'I CANT HEAR YOU THIS MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE'

for those who have gone to the eras tour: do you guys recommend wearing earplugs?
and follow up questions
1. does it affect to how you hear taylor? like does she sound more muffled or something
2. are you able to sing the songs? because i fear that if i wear them i won’t be able to sing along because i’ll only be able to listen to myself if you know what i mean
#taylor swift#the eras tour#i bought the cheapest earplugs avaiblable (a loops mockup on shein 💀) so i don’t know how good they’ll be#like i know that there’s the loops experience for 30€ on amazon but i can’t afford that rn especiallt not for some 1 time earplugs

Hiii ik this is silly but imagen if after the los vaqueros split up ale and rudy got together and valeria after years sees them togeter being all lovely dovely and shes like what- bc she tought they didnt like each other
(Ofc val tells rudy of all men why did he choose ale and she feels sorry for him😭😭)
Anon, this is quite possibly the funniest ask I've ever gotten! I don't know if this is supposed to be a request or not, but I don't mind adding my two cents to this!
Valeria, as a resident Alejandro hater, would be surprised anyone would want to be with him in the first place. And yeah, I think she would call Rodolfo out on potential fraternization as well, but that's not the main issue. I want you to imagine Rodolfo and Valeria, both sitting at a bar together, and Valeria just starts listing all the reasons why Rodolfo should dump Alejandro. It's an impressive amount too, Valeria could probably talk about how much she hates Alejandro for at least an hour. Meanwhile Rodolfo is just sitting there, ordering some kind of absinthe because he cannot take this nonsense. He looks entirely unamused and just wants to leave. I think Alejandro would come in at some point and just start arguing with Valeria while she tells him that Rodolfo deserves better. Rodolfo grows tired of all of this and just leaves at some point. I know Alejandro is a colonel, but he's an idiot. But so is Valeria when it comes to him. The three of them share one braincell and Rodolfo has confiscated it since the other two don't know how to use it properly.
#cherry chats#valeria garza#alejandro vargas#rodolfo parra#they're not just idiots they're downright morons your honor#I know I HC Valeria as a lesbian but I can see the potential in a comedy show starring those three#Sometimes Rodolfo take some earplugs with him since he doesn't wanna hear Valeria and Alejandro argue all the time#I feel sorry for him too but for other reasons#thank you for this ask this was really refreshing anon#great idea too!#unfortunately I won't write anything more elaborate than this because my requests are closed!#not like I knew what to write in the first place though! sorry!

Do you have earplugs in your possession? Do you want to do a little experiment?
Ok, find some kind of audio (with or without accompanying video idc) with words/lyrics in it that are intelligible to you, and set the volume to a comfortable listening level.
Now put in your earplugs and play it, and tell me which of the following is true:
Please reblog if you participate :)
#poll#asking for a me#no but i think my sense of hearing is like#abnormally good#and i know for a fact that some people can wear earplugs and be effectively dead to the world#myself on the other hand?#my answer to this poll is option 3#even with those yellow foam earplugs that expand inside your ears#i want to have a better idea of how weird that is

I need earplugs. It's getting dire at this point.
#I'm in meetings all day and I felt like I was coming out of my skin just listening to everyone talk over each other.#I had to go get my foam earplugs#which helped a lot. At least now I can think#but whew.#I need something because this isn't working#I don't actually know if I'm autistic (as in: I suspect but I can't get a diagnosis right now)#but that doesn't mean I can't adapt and adjust as if I am#and that starts with getting some fucking earplugs

can you believe some people don't live their lives always on the run from their own thoughts. can you imagine
#just told my housemate that i need to get my earplugs because i always have to listen to something#and she said sometimes she does too but other times she really likes the silence#and it was just one of these “ours lives truly are nothing alike” moments you know#some people just. exist in this world and enjoy it#*ear buds#*our

oh no have I just started my tinnitus arc
#the music through my right earphone suddenly just got quieter and when i take the earphone out there is a very vague ringing#hopefully it's not permanent#hashtag musician life like#i remember one of the lecturers at uni telling us about the importance of wearing earplugs on stage and made us all paranoid with#a story about some guy he knew who happened to stand too close to the cymbals one gig and it ruined his hearing forever#so now i wear ear protection at any gig even if i'm not playing#but listening to music through earphones i have been irresponsible about it since i first put an earphone in my ear in 2011#and now I've probably got tinnitus#most likely bc i can't listen to the recommended volume on my phone bc it sounds too quiet for me. which is probably a sign#LISTEN TO MUSIC AT SAFE VOLUMES KIDS AND WEAR EARPLUGS TO GIGS OR YOU'LL END UP LIKE FUTURE ME PROBABLY#ramble

will my mum ever understand that i don’t like talking (as in it’s really physically difficult) sometimes, especially in the morning, and not get upset with me and make me feel guilty about it despite telling her countless times that this is why? 😃
i just vented in the tags sorry bout that :S
#i wouldn’t say non verbal but pretty close#it’s the same with everything#she just doesn’t understand at all and it’s so draining :/#she constantly makes me feel bad for trying to set boundaries so i just give up#like no i genuinely can’t do some things without help no matter how many times you explain it to me i’m sorry?#no i don’t like that food because the texture makes me want to rip my hair out#i want to try different foods i just have bad anxiety about it and you making comments about it doesn’t help#yes i do need to have headphones or earplugs in most of the time bc sometimes it’s unbearable not to#yes i want to spend time alone in my room bc a) it’s a normal thing to do and b) it’s the one place where i can just be myself n not mask#no i’m not ignoring you you actually just interrupted a conversation i was having with my friends#‘i wish you would talk to me more about things’ I WONDER WHY I DONT#and i can’t even say any of this to her because she’d just cry and tell me what a bad mother she is#like… yea exactly#don’t even get me started on queer stuff#yknow i came out two years ago as not straight#and she hasn’t said a single thing about it since#not even vaguely supportive#i can’t even remember if she told me she still loves me#she said ‘i don’t know what to say’ and left me sobbing by myself#i have to censor myself around them bc i still don’t know how they feel about it#the worst part of it is that i convince myself she isn’t that bad so i just forgive her#and never do anything about it#even now i’m thinking ‘ yea but she genuinely isn’t that badi’ 🤡#i want to leave so bad or at least not be in the same house#but i’m not financially independent yet#and i genuinely don’t know if i could cope living on my own#:’D#just gotta deal with it for now#thank god for this safe space 🙏 love u guys#about the only thing keeping me (partially) sane atm

4 + 5 + 8 + 40 + 34 and I) G) F) for Cyrus Becker my beloved 🧡
afternoon idle!! oh my god questions galore *cracks knuckles* cyrus get your ass over here youre up
4. How easy is it to earn their trust?
Very difficult, and at the same time easier than youd think. he definitely doesnt entertain everybody, but hes not unreasonable. hell hear you out if you give him enough reason to (or if he thinks its beneficial to get to know you. do you see why he gets attached to people hes supposed to be manipulating so often). ortega and mortum required him to establish a relationship, which is how they got so close to eachother so quickly. herald got by because cyrus thought hed be a useful contact in the rangers. chen couldve earned his trust a long time ago, they had to work with eachother a lot back when he still ran with the rangers, but chen squandered it on his suspicions and its been too long for cyrus to have any interest in patching up their relationship. argent has largely flown under his radar, she hasnt piqued his interest more than the passing curiosity of why she wanted the regenerator.
5. How easy is it to earn their mistrust?
the default is mistrust. sorry yall, hes not taking any more chances than necessary. hes a telepath, he knows all too well what secrets other people hide, and hes not interested in giving people a chance to prove his suspicions wrong. but after hes grown to trust somebody? its... embarrassing how difficult it is to lose it. even though his trust is much shakier nowadays, you still need to have fucked up Majorly to get him back to mistrusting you. if you somehow manage to do that,,, uhhhh. what do you want on your tombstone? (ig its technically its possible to not die and even earn that trust back??? ortega managed, but thats ortega and hes statistically more likely to kill you or ruin your life. depends on how badly you fucked up. id say theres a good 5% chance youll survive the experience without the need for intense psychotherapy)
8. What were they told to stop/start doing most often as a child
listen. follow orders. be exactly who we need you to be. cyrus was a deeply rebellious regene, but he wasnt stupid about it. hed go against the mission in secret, and just enough that nobody wouldve been able to trace any problems back to him. that doesnt mean he was never caught, but he was too competent of a regene to be scrapped, which saved him multiple times before. those few times did cause handlers to keep a closer eye on him though, just in case. handlers would usually keep a harder grip on cyrus, hold him to stricter standards. it contributed a lot to his own self talk. SPEAKING OF WHICH:
40. How sensitive are they to their own flaws?
you must imagine me holding him and looking lovingly into his eyes while i dump a gallon of insecurity and perfectionism on him. hes a proud man, he thinks hes better than what other people are capable of, but that arguably makes things worse when he does make a mistake. he of all people shouldnt be like this. add the puppetmaster scar on him and its a hefty load of 'i need to make sure every single step of my plan goes exactly right Or Else." the worst thing about him is that a lot of the petty flaws he thinks apply to him arent correct. AND HE CANT EVEN NAME HIS ACTUAL FLAWS. cyrus you are so smart and walking around with zero self awareness, its the best. please consider stepping into acid.
34. How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?
hohohohoho. well. the first step is to get him to feel guilty in the first place. traditionally immoral actions arent going to get to him, obviously. the thing that springs up guilt for him most often is themmys death. he has. a Lot of survivors guilt about that. especially because hes convinced himself he couldve done something and *gestures to the ask above*. guilt will haunt him for life if it doesnt get resolved in a healthy way, but hes gotten good at burying his emotions a long time ago. even when he feels like that, he reserves a specific time to think about it, otherwise itll impede on his plans in the long run. that designated time is. usually when hes supposed to be sleeping. his sleep schedule is just a little bit messed.
I) Do you prefer to keep them in their canon universe?
oh dude i Love putting cyrus in aus. its so fun to poke him with a stick and see what happens. the first one i put him in was a band au, it helped me figure out how he would interact with herald. basically cyrus was a masked guitarist (for backstory reasons) for a band daniel happened to be a fan of, except the two of them managed to meet at just regular old work, with cyrus not realizing daniel was a fan and daniel not realizing cyrus was from one of his favourite bands. it led to fun, mlb-esque shenanigans between the two lmfao. the second one i put him in was the becker siblings au, which i still have thoughts and emotionsTM about. that au let me indulge in the 'cyrus is an older sibling' headcanon and i will forever be in debt to it for the amount of protective cyrus i got. third and current au im obsessing over is a 'cyrus survives hb' scenario, where ortega managed to stop him before he jumped out the window. i am getting! so much ortega x cyrus content out of that au! and so much survivors guilt cyrus. cyrus 'using' ortega to forget about heartbreak my beloveddddd. he also says 'i love you' to ortega in this au and canon ortega is SO jealous. also x2, hes an alcohol vice step in this au. heartbreak hit hard and the tequila hits different.
aaaand i still like his canon version better. its just so very much him. out of every step ive got, hes the one i get to stay closest to how i envision based on the choices the game offers. plus he caught me completely by surprise suckerpunching me with an obsession over him and i cant Not respect that.
G) What trait of theirs bothers you the most?
not sure whether this means on a character creation level or as a person, but ill answer for 'as a person' because im overall pretty satisfied with how he turned out! but like. god what is there to not be bothered about. my manipulative little shit of a son. ig the trait that frustrates me the most is his self destructive tendencies. like. Sir. are you at all aware of the fact that people care for you and want you safe? and that you can respond to that concern with something other than "i can use this", "sucks to be them", or, "no theyre not"? sir. sir answer the question. hes so empathetic and also literally a telepath but somehow cant compute genuine concern at him. as frustrating as it is though, i cannot deny that it is deeply funny to watch him fumble so badly.
F) What do you feel when you think of your OC (pride, excitement, frustration, etc)?
normal. the ones where people look at me and think "wow, that is a person who is having (a) regular thought(s) about their character! very cool!" you will never see a person who is more normal about their guy than i am (i am grabbing him by the teeth and shaking him like a dog with a very strong kill instinct).
truly though, thinking of him gets me buzzing. hes like a puzzle, i keep breaking him apart and putting him back together again to see how everything works. i have this thing where ill often think about showing character analysis to the characters themeselves, just to see how they would react, and i undeniably do this the most with cyrus. i want to explain step by step (hah) why he is the way that he is now, like the whole timeline is plotted inside my head and its so!!!!! i am!!!!! chewing on him!!!!!
questions from here!
#herald is a lucky bastard#he messed up twice in a row (asking cyrus about his sidestep days+picking him up without consent) but asking for help training saved him#cyrus was straight up being sadistic about it he just wanted to fw herald after those two times and saw training as an opportunity#it wasnt supposed to lead somewhere#anathema vision wouldve fucked him and his guilty ass Up. good thing cyrus is a bastard and abandoned argentine before they crashed 🫶#and because i have an excuse to talk about them again heres some things that ive been thinking about lately:#1. it is So fucking funny to me that all three of them are trans afabs in some way#scientists at the farm in charge of the becker sibling batch: wow look at these three new girl regenes!#cyrus (trans man)/fawn (nb)/river (trans man): . well-#2. brother-madds buckley. just the whole thing. im going to start screaming and punching the floor here#3. WHO WAS THE HG SIBLING THE ORTEGAS SAW IN THE PHOTO. was it just somebody that looked enough like the three to assume it was a sibling#or did it happen to look exactly like one of the siblings. or did they find three photos with siblings that looked like each? I NEED ANSWER#cyrus' is very emotionally intelligent towards everybody but himself#when it comes to himself hes wearing a blindfold and earplugs and pretending nothings wrong#the whole time i was answering that last ask i was thinking about my post talking about how many posts of his were in my queue#god bless that man he never leaves my brain#thank you again for the ask idle :DD#cyrus becker#sidestep#fhr#pulp answers#ask game

I finally got myself to eat for the first time today, now it's- honestly, it's probably still fine for you bitches. I'm tired, I'm not gonna do much today.
#screaming into the void#hey did you know#youre legs arent supposed to get purple and mottled when you stand for long periods#or that your tongue should reach the roof of your mouth when fully open#or that not everyone can fold up their earlobe and put it in their ear like an earplug#or that your not supposed to get lightheaded while standing#or that your shoulders shouldn't frequently pop or have minor loss of range of motion till they pop then youre fine again#or that your ribs and sternum shouldnt pop at all#or that brittle and felixble nails as well as frequent heartburn can be symptoms of hypermobility#did you know that being able to partially dislocate a joint isnt a party trick that everyone can do#did you know that your knuckle isnt meant to bend inward when you write#or that when you swallow its not normal for some of it to get up your nose (yes i have this even with food before)#or that most people cant reach every spot on their own back or need help with zippers in thr back of dresses#i'm so tired of learning things guys

Does your arcanine ever just ya know scream at stuff? Like just for no apparent reason other than to scream? Mine does that and he’s an elderly man!
Not screaming, but he does tend to howl and growl to mons he might consider "predators" before resorting to flames. He has a big herding instinct, so most of the sounds he makes are for intimidation
AFAIK, different breeds of Arcanines and Growlithes can be vocal for wildly different reasons! Most of the tamed or trained ones resort to "screaming" because they're excited and it's a good way to convey that to the trainer, but wild ones resort to short barks and howls to communicate between them.
So, fortunately for that old boy, he seems like he's pretty happy, but unfortunately for you, a mass of 300 lbs. of fur screaming is a good way to develop migraines
