...Rarr

By the way mastofriendiverse, I am on Telegram and if I am following you here I’d probably love to talk to you on Telegram (or just make dragon noises at you), PM me here if you want my Telegram info!

Or maybe the monster can make illusions of your friends that lure you into traps, and sometimes you do get to see your friends actually trying to help you, so you’re never quite sure if perceptions of your friends are genuine or not

Maybe you find journal entries that seem to indicate that someone might be concerned, but then every time you actually see them they seem not to notice or not to care. False hopes creating dramatic twists and difficulty discerning reality.

So a lot of the horror genre is centered around mh issues (most naturally paranoia, trauma, anxiety, guilt, also sometimes addiction, depression, anger), and these things seem especially common in cat-and-mouse horror games.

I think a horror game where the monster is an embodiement of RSD would be great. Maybe you repeatedly get chased or assaulted by this monster that no one else seems to notice, or maybe they notice but don’t seem to care about helping you, and maybe one or two people do notice only to get dragged off by it themselves. Maybe you don’t find out until during or after the final showdown that people were working behind the scenes to help you the whole time, but every time it would have been obvious, you got attacked and distracted by the monster.

RSD is horror tbh and storywriters should take notice

Ever just wake up in the morning but you’re a dragon

One last thought since I am having some insomnia anyway:

Multiple people over the last week or so have told me in various ways that sometimes when friends are going through something there’s nothing you can do even if you want to help, it’s just something they have to go through.

It took a few people with a few different phrasings before that really sunk in, but it’s solid advice.

If there’s nothing I can do to help, just know that I’m rooting for you, and I’m here when you make it out!

(On the flip side, if I'm nudging you and you want to be left alone, don't be afraid to tell me that either, I want to be good to you, including if that means giving you space)

Got a TWSBI Go with a bold nib a couple days ago.

Inked this up with Diamine Amber. I like the look much better in person than in pictures, and it feels less cheap / better quality than I thought it might for the $18.99 price (it certainly feels more solid than a Lamy Safari). The filling mechanism is really quick, easy, and neat. I think bold nibs are too large for my handwriting though, so I might order another Go in Fine sometime.

Just a PSA, if we’re friends and you’re having a tough mh day or feeling down and need company or advice or someone to dump on for whatever reason, tell me. You are so much more than entertainment to me. Sometimes friends need eachother and that’s a two way street.

If I don’t have the time or the spoons I promise I’ll let you know and I’ll be gentle about it.

“The term ‘non-binary’ doesn’t necessarily mean anything to me . . . One of my favorite things about it is that it really confuses cis people, and then they have to ask me about my experience.” —Jeffrey Marsh, Gender Reveal episode 93

Gender Reveal is a pretty great podcast about trans and non-binary folks full of interviews with notable trans guests and I could link it to you on Apple Podcasts but you can find it on your own wherever you get your podcasts, so instead I’m linking you to their Patreon, go love them!
