depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

Well, this depressing little number popped into my head

Sometime before the cave, Mystery Skulls gets called in to a case dealing with time dilation. While they’re investigating Arthur gets caught in one of the disturbances. The Arthur that replaces him though, is from the future. He has deep circles under his eyes, looks somewhat emaciated, and has a horrible burn on his jaw and chin.

He doesn’t just look horrible, he’s skittish and flinches from Lewis and Vivi’s attempts to comfort him. They try to get him to tell them how this happened, but all he says is ‘it’s fine’ and ‘I deserved it’ He’s very careful to not let them see his left hand.

Vivi and Lewis are shocked, Arthur has always been a little socially awkward, but not broken like the man they see in front of them. When Vivi demands to know how he could have possibly deserved the burn his answer chills her: “Because sorry isn’t good enough”. He’s not just parroting, he believes this.

The dilation shifts again, and they have their Arthur back. He couldn’t tell them much, he was in a place he’s never seen before, probably on a case. They don’t tell him about the future Arthur they saw.

They talk amongst themselves later and decide that since they would never have let that happen to him, at some point he must have separated from the group and got into a highly abusive relationship. They resolve to never let that happen. Anyone showing interest in Arthur is chased off. Anytime Arthur thinks about quitting, they pressure him into staying. It’s for his own good, they’ll protect him.

Fast forward after the mansion.

The gang is ostentatiously back together. The boys put on a face for Vivi, but the moment her back is turned Lewis is hostile towards Arthur. He hasn’t forgiven him, can’t forgive him. And Arthur just takes it. He deserves it, after all.

At one point the blond snaps and starts apologizing repeatedly. Lewis, never in a good mood when Vivi isn’t around, grabs him by his chin and forces Arthur to look him in the eyes. “SORRY? YOU MURDERED ME! SORRY ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH!: Arthur jerks back reflexively, and Lewis can see where his hand left a burn. A very familiar burn.

The triggered memory causes him to look, really look at Arthur for the first time since his death. And he realizes he’s seen this Arthur before. Somehow in his rage he hadn’t noticed how far Arthur had gone. Vivi had missed it too, between her own grief, then jubilation at his return. He remembered those dark marks under his eyes, and now that he thought about, couldn’t remember the last time the mechanic had eaten. Worst, he remembered the completely broken look in Arthur’s eyes. He’s not apologizing anymore. He’s not mad about his new injury or ever that concerned about it. He’s even gone beyond fear.

He believe he deserves it.

And it makes Lewis sick to realize the abusive person he and Vivi swore to protect Arthur from all those years ago was himself.

Any woman who truly thinks that women don't do this, and that it is the man that is at fault, or try to make it seem that way.

Then I truly believe, that your stupidity is unbelievable.

I hope things get better soon.

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

A Continuation of "Accident".

So... This is meant to be a Continuation of a fix made by @sallyxretro-nyc-archived. And me and @jentheone12. Really wanted to see it be brought to completion. So I was ultimately volunteered to do so. So let's begin.

Sal runs to the side of the bed where Joe is laying in the hospital bed. His face has multiple cuts and bruises, and his left arm and leg were in casts. But he was awake and alive. Sal rushed to his side. "Baby what happened to you, are you ok?"

Joe smiled and wiped the tears from Sal's face. "I'm fine Sal, just got into a little car accident, no big deal, just some guy who didn't know what a turn signal or speed limit was." But it was, while Joe would not need major surgery. He would need it for his left leg because it was broken in multiple places, including his femur.

Sal smiled and gently grabbed Joe's face and kissed him. He held his hand and laughed as they told funny jokes together. They waited until it was time for Joe to go into surgery. They placed metal pins in his leg to set some of the bones back in place and repair them.

Sal waited until they brought him back, Murr and Q had stopped by and left balloons, a stuffed animal, and some snacks. Joe was in the hospital for a few days until he recovered.

When he was able to leave, he had to be in a wheelchair for a few months so the bones could heal, the doctor had told him he would have a slight limp but nothing major.

Sal helped Joe inside and got him into bed. They cuddled together and watched movies while they ate pizza. Sal looked to Joe and kissed him before cuddling into Joe's chest. Joe smiled and wrapped his arms around Sal as they went to sleep. Joe found it funny how a car accident brought him and Sal closer together.

After 8 months Joe's leg was healed and he could walk around and you could barely tell he limped when he walked. After shooting for impractical jokers, Sal and Joe headed out to a fancy dinner for a date. They ate their food and told jokes that had them laughing out loud. Afterwards Joe got serious and grabbed Sal's hand. "Sal we've been together for a few years now and there is something I need to tell you. I was driving that day because I went to a store to get you this". He pulled a small velvet box out of his hand and held it up to Sal, who was covering his mouth with tears in his eyes. Joe smiled and opened it to reveal an engagement ring. Joe smiled and held Sal's hand "Sal Vulcano, will you marry me?" Sal nodded and Joe put the ring on his finger. They kissed and the whole restaurant erupted with applause. They went home as happy as could be. Funny how an accident can bring two people even closer together than before.

The end
