This is mostly just a gaming screenshots and art blog, but I do sometimes post animals, animated films, lgbt+ and neurodivergence content~
You can find all the tags I use in my blog description - and if there’s anything I post that you don’t want to see, I’ve also included my tags list and a guide on how to block tags under the cut ♡
breeding tomorrow for the first time i’m anticipating a single egg nest b/c that’s pretty par for course with my luck lately whatever hatches will be available in my hatchery~
never make a suicide joke again. yes this includes “i wanna die” as a figure of speech. swear off of it. actually make an effort to change how you think about things.
find something to compliment someone for at least 4 times a day. notice the little things about the world that make you happy, and use that to make other people happy.
talk to people. initiate conversation as often as you possibly can. keep your mind busy and you wont have to worry anymore
picture the bad intrusive thoughts in youe head as an edgy 13 year old and tell them to go be emo somewhere else
if someone makes you feel bad most of the time, stop talking to them. making yourself hang out with people who drain you is self harm. stop it.

That’s some pretty good advice. I don’t know what’s left of my humor after ‘guess I’ll just die’ jokes but it’s worth a shot.
Personally i went from “guess I’ll die” jokes to “IF I HAVE TO BE HERE FOR 5 MORE MINUTES I PROMISE YOU I WILL BUY JUST, AN ARRAY OF CLOTHES.” and other wild hyperbolic stuff. Just replace the death part with something ridiculous and off topic. Its very entertaining
This also works with calling myself things like stupid, worthless, trash, etc. Even if you do this jokingly to yourself, your brain still believes it, and keeps up the cycle. Seriously, I found that when I stopped saying these things about myself, even jokingly, it made a massive difference.
Here’s a tip I picked up from a friend that’s helped me a lot — replace self deprecating jokes with ironically self aggrandizing jokes
Like every time I trip and fall, instead of saying “l’m just a disaster human” I say “I’m the epitome of grace and beauty”
Or like, when I draw a picture I’m not 100% happy with, instead of saying “my art is trash” I say something like “you know I think it’s time we replaced the Mona Lisa”
When you do that you get to make a joke, but you’re ALSO getting practice building yourself up, y’know?
And eventually it becomes a reflex and you get so used to it that you can say nice stuff about yourself even when you AREN’T joking
As someone who personally finds it really hard to hear other people make self depreciating jokes, mostly because I have no idea how I’m supposed to react to them without just encouraging the self depreciation, PLEASE try this instead! ^
Also if you’re trying to say that kind of stuff as a genuine joke, you’re much more likely to get laughs out of something sarcastically positive, than out of something straight up negative, which will make you feel better as well.
I’m not sure how many people that visit this blog know about the information that has come out about Blizzard Studios, I just want to say that although I love the World of Warcraft game, I am in no way supporting what happened.
Despite my love for the game, I have never paid to get more than a starter account, and after what has happened recently, I know I never will.
When I repost or take screenshots of the game, it is purely for admiration of the time and work that has gone into creating the game’s assets. That is as far as my admiration goes.
I am truly sorry for the women who experienced such horrific sexism and harassment, and I hope they all get the justice they deserve.
