I Desperately Need Curse Ideas. I'm Working On A Story/4-panel Comic And I Need To Fill A Small Village

Genuine question here: how do I deal with anxiety? Here's a picture:

I've got really bad anxiety, along with some other problems that don't help. Every resource I can find says to practice mindfulness techniques, like breathing and yoga. Therapy, meds, exercise.

The problem is that I do those already. I've been in therapy for over a decade, and yeah, it helped a little. I'm currently taking meds and doing yoga (which is hard due to physical limitations).

I don't know what else I can do. I'm on a high dose of meds, I talk to family members every day, and I go outside. I just want to be normal. I do art, and I write a bit, but I mainly play video games and listen to YT. I know there's no quick fix, I just want something to help.

HL:VRAI hcs because I'm writing a fanfic and struggling

Every single one of the science team isn’t fully human.  Dr Coomer has Power Legs™, “Bubby” is an experiment, Benrey is an eldritch deity or otherwise powerful being, and Gordon Freeman is the Player.  Tommy Coolatta is no exception.  The adopted son of a being who can manipulate time and change the past and present?  Of course his father gave him some abilities, as Tommy can see through time itself, referencing “previous runs”.  I firmly believe that there’s something about Black Mesa that draws in the odd and inhuman.  The only person that I would classify as fully human is Forzen, although he shares Benrey’s ability to possess other bodies similar to his own.  Considering how Forzen references things that none of the other characters know yet, there is a possibility that he and Benrey are still in contact, despite no longer liking each other.

As Tommy has likely been in or around Black Mesa most of his life, he wouldn’t understand that most people don’t have supernatural abilities.  As such, he brings up what happened in the “last run”, confusing any normal humans around him.  The scientists he works with know that Tommy just does that sometimes, and if they bring it up then that government guy will take them aside and make them disappear.

Tommy is rich.  He is in the upper class.  He makes at least 200k a year, if not more.  Forzen likely grew up poor, because no rich person would join the military willingly.  The US Marines, which is what Forzen is part of, pay less than half of what Tommy makes.  Because Forzen is likely legally dead, and thus can no longer make any money, he moves in with Tommy.  Tommy lives in his own house, of course, although his father worries about him enough that he might as well live there too.

Forzen is a very rude man, as well as a liar.  He is not shown to have tremendous intelligence.  There is a high possibility that he is related in some way to Benrey, as he is fully capable of returning after death without anyone noticing it.  This is an ability specific to Benrey (and Forzen), as each time “Bubby”, Coomer, or Tommy dies, their return to life is either noted (if on screen) or given an explanation (if off screen).  This is separate to their death, as Benrey’s death is almost always acknowledged.  Forzen, however, has never had his death acknowledged, other than after he disappears for the last time, as Benrey says that he killed Forzen.  Forzen shows a very low interest in remaining alive, indicating that he may be severely depressed.  Due to his desire to graduate, it is indicated that Forzen is in his twenties, although there is still a possibility that he is older or younger.

Tommy’s abilities can appear in ways that he doesn’t notice, such as moving out of the way just in time to avoid danger.  This implies that although Tommy is aware that he can see alternate timelines, he is unaware of his other abilities.  Of the science team, Gordon Freeman dies the least, followed by Tommy.  Tommy is a level 1 autistic man, which means he is fully capable of functioning without help.  He is unable to understand more complex questions without an explanation, and frequently takes jokes as the truth.  He also drinks a, frankly, concerning amount of caffeine with noticeable side effects.  These include confusion, increased thirst, and nervousness.

This combination provides multiple fanfiction ideas, including but not limited to:

A misunderstanding between Forzen and Tommy, where Forzen lies, saying that he hates Tommy.  Tommy is heartbroken.

Tommy goes to the hospital for caffeine overdose, which he should’ve done much earlier.  Forzen panics.

Tommy rambles about how he made Sunkist.  Forzen has a gay panic.  Alt, Forzen does one of those military obstacle courses, and Tommy has a gay realization.

Classic A fell first, B fell harder.

Angst, including Forzen opening up and crying on Tommy’s shoulder about what he did as a Marine.

Fluff, including Forzen and Tommy playing a rpg together (I recommend Sun Haven or SDV!)

The classic enemies to lovers, in which Forzen does his best to finish his job, despite being legally dead.  Tommy, due to his inhuman abilities that he is unaware about, avoids every trap.  (Either 18+ if you want to make this angst (Edit: for gore. No sex), or PG for cartoon violence)

Legally required “there was only one bed” troupe.  This must be fully PG, because Tommy doesn’t know about sex.

Classic au switcheroo.  Tommy is the big bad now.  Forzen is the Player.  Cue heartbreak and angst as Forzen has to kill Tommy.

As always, feel free to add more!

Not me constantly coming across political posts and happily scrolling through the comments to block people who respond in ways I don't like

I think it's really funny how my dad just. Doesn't like cats. He won't let cats in the house if he can avoid it. He says pigs are cuter, which is fine, but he also says pigs are softer (which is wrong).

...chat, he married into a family that has, for all oral history, been on the verge of animal hording. Chat, my grandfather owns an UNKNOWN amount of cats, but at least 7 adults plus 3 kittens. My mom owns two cats. There are cats that wander the farm.

I paint this picture so y'all can see how funny my father's attempt to dislike cats is. Anyway, here's some kittens:

(also the white kitten has an infected eye, so if y'all know any good antibiotics hit me up)

So this was the unanswered messages in my ask box a couple of days ago:

and this is the unanswered messages in my ask box today,

and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who has said such nice things about the season, and I'm sorry to everyone who had emotions they weren't expecting, and I'm impressed that so many of you have theories and don't plan to answer, validate or really even comment on any of them, but mostly I'm just sorry because I probably won't read whatever you've sent, not because I don't want to but because if I was doing nothing but reading Tumblr asks as a full time job I still wouldn't catch up with the thousands of asks coming in.

I'm glad you care.

I feel like if I am to be tumblr-known-at-all, I must leave the house. Unfortunately, it is warm, and thus the outside is not here.

May the gods bow before you, wherever you go;

To find lands uncharted and stories untold.

😭 there were like a few in the first couple days of the shooting because well, he became a folk hero, it's now exacerbated by the fact that he is attractive and that no one that has ever come in contact with him has anything but the sweetest things to say about him. Even the guy he had a one night stand with is on twitter rallying for him.

I need you to understand that I completely forgot about my Luigi fanfic post, and reading this while trying to remove jayvik art from my feed made me think it was about those men

Now we need a folk song sung in taverns about that rebel guy who killed a hated noble and is to be sent to the gallows
