least favorite genre of post on here has gotta be “having mental illness doesn’t excuse bad behavior” from people with depression/anxiety, who mistakenly believe everyone with psychosis is simply suffering from distorted thinking like they are. i have the kind of bipolar that causes psychosis under the wrong conditions and it is radically different from the distorted thinking i have when manic or depressed. “distorted thinking” is “there’s nothing wrong with stealing those groceries from a stranger’s car, they won’t catch you and you need it more than them”. “psychosis” is “you’re not stealing those groceries in that stranger’s car, they belong to you and those people are just holding them”. (never mind that “i haven’t eaten in days and they can afford a car” morally complicates either situation for a moment.)
i have been in a state where i earnestly believed things that were radically untrue and they lead me to cause harm to others. these were not minor distortions in an otherwise accurate picture of the world, they were fundamentally incorrect pictures of the world. some of them were fairly innocuous and are largely water under the bridge. some of them were serious and i still feel shame about them now. but i have also seen people hounded to the ends of the earth over shit they did in a delusional state which would be utterly out of character while compos mentis and it feels cosmically unfair.

Before the next episode reveals all I decided to make my own interpretations of some guesses for what Luz’s magic staff will look like. I hope the real one blows these out of the water.
The difference between liushen and bingqiu is that if shen yuan transmigrated into a healer, Liu qingge would go "I have to train harder so no one can hurt me. I don't want to add more to shen yuan's workload." Meanwhile Binghe would be going "jumping in front of a carriage so I break all my bones ❤️❤️ two month long stay at the medical ward means maximum time with yuan gege!! ❤️"
God may be dead but his excuses sure aren’t.
if you need to hear it, then this is for you: forgive yourself for your regrets. you have grown since then, changed since then, and learned from your mistakes. you’re not the same person anymore, so here is your signal. it’s time to let the pain go.
Here is the follow up I promised to my first ROTTMNT fic recs post which you can find here where I list my recommended works with a completed status.
These are some of my recommendations for ongoing fics. Just another reminder that Leo and Donnie are my favs so I gravitate towards fics focusing on them more than the others.
I feel like this fic doesn’t even need an introduction. It’s the most popular ROTTMNT fic on AO3 right now with a ton of fan art and videos dedicated to it. But in case you haven’t heard of it basically Leo gets kidnapped by Draxum and forced to do his bidding and a lot of physical/ psychological abuse ensues while his brothers desperately try to find and save him.
This fic centers around the disaster twins and the special bond they have even though Donnie will say it’s impossible for them to have such a bond since they aren’t actually twins. Each chapter takes place in a different time in the boys’ lives so we get some turtle tot content. Has some lovely autistic Donnie moments though the author is clear they are drawing from their own experiences so it may not speak to everyone.
When future Mikey opens a portal to the past, future Leo accidentally gets flung through it by an explosion while the 16 year old him ends up in the future. There is a lot of great angst, wonderful moments between the displaced Leos and their family from the past/ future plus some really heart wrenching disaster twin content. The author takes some liberties so it’s not 100% canon compliant. This is also the first fic to have gotten me curious about Leosagi as Usagi is future Leo’s husband, though he isn’t in the story too much. The author has some great side stories for the fic including how Leo and Usagi met.

since the cowboy and the samurai were both dying out in the 1800s i want an action adventure historically wildly inaccurate comic about the last cowboy and the last samurai teaming up BUT one of them is gay and the other doesn’t understand what being gay is and there are multiple comedic mishaps resulting from this
Saw this tweet, thought of them and laughed so hard
I will always love the trope where lance fell first and keith fell harder
Mostly fandom stuff. Just putting this here so people won't think I'm a bot. Still figuring out how to use the website
