doomscrolling is not activism

doomscrolling is not activism

doomscrolling is not activism

"don't look away" is a meaningless phrase. who are you benefiting by inundating yourself with misery porn?

DO something about things you care about. Go to a protest for something you believe in, if you can. Donate money to a cause if you have it to spare. Volunteer your time to help people if you have the energy. Write a letter to your political representatives if that's something you can do. These are meaningful ways to try to make change in the world.

And then? don't feel bad about insulating yourself from horrible news. Don't make yourself look at images that make you feel sick. Don't read endless things that depress you. Because frankly it gets harder to actually do the more you doomscroll. Reading constantly about things you can't change because they're happening at a systemic level or on the other side of the world is paralyzing. It makes you less able to help where you can.

I'm not saying be willfully ignorant. I'm not saying pretend horrible things aren't happening. I'm saying don't destroy your mental health going in-depth and cycling through horror after horror on your phone. I'm saying there is no virtue in making yourself experience other people's traumas because mere awareness is not activism. you inflicting suffering on yourself is not activism.

doomscrolling is literally sapping your energy and focus away from doing anything useful to help other people. you can burn yourself out without ever lifting a finger by exposing yourself to all the bad news in the world and who does that help? no one.

For the ask meme you posted could I request both 1 and 2 for Asra?

@pr1nc3-0f-d4rkn3ss Thank you!!

1. A fun headcanon

One time when Lucio had a new marble statue set up at the entrance of the palace and Asra was twelve, Asra decided to fuck with him by telling Muriel and a small group of mutual friends that he had special plans for the new artwork.

Asra would stand around the statue everyday for at least fifteen to ten minutes before he was chased away by guards. He kept this up for a week before Lucio finally noticed a pattern, along with overhearing rumors (that Asra started) that the little magician was planning to sabotage his new masterpiece.

The count demanded three guards around the art work at all times of the day to deter any of Asra pranks.

Only for Asra to turn around and sabotage one of Lucio's other beloved gold statues by throwing bird seed around the structure and leading a large flock of birds to take a crap on it.

2. A sad headcanon

I'm using my apprentice for this, after Asra brought Claudia back and it was clear that any memories of her past, at that time, were going to harm her into a catatonic state. He hid trinkets, clothes, her aunt's belongings (except for her shawl that he missed), and her gold bangles from Matabele around the shop since he couldn't bear to get rid of some of those treasured items.

For everything else that he couldn't hide, he either gave them to Muriel for safe keeping or burned them in a bonfire like Claudia's diary that she kept during the Red plague.

horror movie

Please sir, that’s my emotional support horror movie

Actually @samhvin the way this choker turned out after cleaning off all the dayquil I think it would make a great accessory for your off-white goth look

Or if you don't need it maybe I could use it and make a matching outfit <3

I want it with dayquil on it 🧡

exciting entry in the "what genre is mcr" debate. he said be a faggot!!!!! (blender 2005)

oc advice: don’t make your oc flashy looking or give them a tragic backstory or a weird name or

berserk: our protag is 6’8. he is so fucking huge he doesn’t fit in a panel unless the panel is focused on him. his entire life is just a massive series of unfortunate events starting from the day of his birth when he was born from a corpse hanging from a tree . he has a sword that is the same size as him and wears all black evil cursed hellhound themed armour that drinks his blood. he has an onscreen kill count of over 1000. literally everyone wants to fuck him. the first panel of berserk is a sex scene with his bootyass out. one of the main antagonists ruined everything partially because he was so horny for him. he is called guts. fuck yeah
