I don’t know if anyone needs to hear this but “we all respond to trauma in different ways, not just pretty palatable ways” and “we are accountable for our own actions, even actions born from trauma” are not contradictory statements
what they don't tell you about making friends is you gotta be a lil annoying. you gotta push past the fear of "what if they don't want to talk to me" and simply ask someone how their day is going, send a meme. you cannot connect to people if you're both just awkwardly waiting for the other to start.

someone: haha why are you so obsessed with *insert show/book series/film/etc)
me, internally: because throwing myself into something allows me to briefly forget the constant depression misery and sadness i suffer through every day and when i marathon things my self hatred sometimes starts to disappear because i forget that i’m a real person who exists in the real world. my obsessions help me to cope when i feel like i’m about to explode or cry or scream or all of those at once and once i get into something i barely think of anything else for weeks which is a very unhealthy coping tactic but hey it helps so
me: haha idk :))
chris evans, the love of my life.
Ingredients:
2 cups of Things that must be in the story (this can be characters, specific scenes, settings, subplots etc.)
1 cup of Vague plot ideas I may not use
1 tbsp of Central Themes
1 tsp of Ending (either happy, tragic, or bitter-sweet)
1 tsp of Protagonist's Primary Motivation
2 lbs of Brick Wall
Time, as needed
Instructions:
In a large bowl, mix Things that must be in the story. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, sift together Vague plot ideas I may not use. Discard the excess and set aside.
Add Themes, Ending, and Motivation to a small jar. Screw lid on tight and shake until mixture becomes Conflict.
Pour Conflict and Vague plot ideas into Things that must be in the story. Blend on medium until Plot Points form.
Taste.
If it is still missing something, smash head against 1 lbs of Brick Wall for one to six hours.
Let marinate for one to 365 days. Add more Things and Vague plot ideas as desired.
Smash head against the rest of the Brick Wall for one to six hours.
Scream.
Repeat steps 5 through 9 as needed.
After sufficient marination, the mixture will form an idea. This will tell you what specific action must happen in order to resolve your story's conflict. Write this down and make appropriate sacrifices to thank whichever deity took pity on you.
Now you have your conflict, climax, and resolution. You just have to figure out how to get there. Good luck with the damn middle section dork!!
hoseok: “what’s that nice french place we went to called again?”
namjoon: “france?”
hoseok: “that’s the one”
You know what is amazing (that would never happen in canon, but)
marichat and ladrien could both be canon AT THE SAME TIME
if Adrien and ladybug found out that each of them is madly in love with the other and started dating (probably secretly?), they would be SO OVER-THE-MOON HAPPY and in love AHHH
and at the same time?? Marinette and chat noir could become close friends that are 100% platonic. And omgsh they would be friends with the love of their life and not know it ahhh. FRENS!!
and then in ladynoir, chat would be like “hehehehe I’m your BF and you don’t even know it.” And ladybug would be like “hehehe im your BFF and you don’t even know it.” And chat wouldn’t act sad about her rejections anymore and they would grow closer as partners and be happy and !!
and then in adrienette it would be the flip! marinette like “EEEE IM YOUR GF!!!!” and Adrien like “EEE IM YOUR BFF!” And they would get closer too!!
and then eventually with all of this going on there is bound to be a slip-up that leads to a reveal and imagine how happy they will be to find out that their one true love and their best friend are the same person ;__;
basically what I’m saying is make ladrien and marichat canon u cowards
(a major flaw in this plan is them having time to secretly date someone and secretly be BFFs with someone else on top of their already-busy civilian schedules AND their superhero duties but let’s not talk about that)
i don’t really know how tumblr works but i like this place so i’m trying
