My younger brother came up to my mom with a stuffed animal and the animal was crying.
When my mother asked why the stuffed animal was crying my little brother said: becouse he’s a little bitch.
I said that yesterday when i was babysitting him .
Now my mom’s angry with me.
au where Ray, Sissy and Harlan come back to the future with the academy and Klaus makes a big event of locking everyone in the library and giving a ridiculous powerpoint that’s like ‘How To Speed Run The Past 70 Or Whatever Years’ (Five from where he’s been handcuffed to the bar: “it’s 55 you dumbass-). highlights include:
- opening with a picture from the jfk assassination (since they were all a little busy when that was going on) with a big :( drawn over it
- a fifty minute long side-tracked rant about the Vietnam war that only Five is interested in
- “And finally, after a long, painful battle for the sensible people of the world…the Beatles were Defeated”
- “Highlight this note because it WILL be on the test later- Britney Spears was born on December 2nd, 1981″
- “So one day in 1989 43 babies with magic powers were born from women who hadn’t been pregnant, and like? you know? no one ever really looked into that further? we’re in our 30s, I feel like we should have some answers by now?’
“Speaking of 1989, there’s this fantastic album-”
Vanya: “Klaus they don’t need to know who Taylor Swift is-”
Diego: “Let Him Speak.”
- “And on this day I was innocently reading a magazine and discovered my previously beloved sister Allison is friends with Beyonce and she never bothered to introduce me or invite me to a single party-” *powerpoint slide switches to a picture with Allison’s head photoshopped onto a snake* *Sissy asks who Beyonce is and that turns into another sidetracked explanation that takes nearly two hours and involves Everyone screaming*
- “And this is when Luther went to the moon-”
Ray: “the…moon? the fucking moon?”
Klaus: “didn’t the moon landing happen for you guys yet?”
Allison: “no that was ‘69???”
Klaus: “FUCK”
Luther: “Can you try to go in order? You didn’t even tell them Dad’s an alien yet-”
everyone: W H A T?!!?!?!!?!
- 2004: the tragic beginnings of Vanya’s weaboo stage
- 2006: Diego has his first kiss with an Ambassadors daughter after a mission and IMMEDIATELY pukes on her after they finish. (next slide features news footage of the event; Luther has to hold Diego back from attacking Klaus while everyone else is losing their shit)
- “Klaus I really don’t think Twilight counts as a historical event”
Five: “No, actually, it does-”
- *2 hours spent infodumping about Chernobyl while his audience gets progressively more drunk*
- “Klaus, can we please move on from the 90s already-”
“THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THE MEDIA DID TO WINONA RYDER”
- footage of Allison’s Less Than Graceful reaction when she got snubbed at the Oscar’s one year
- at some point he tries to explain Modern Speak™ and Internet Culture™ to them and it ends up going like this:
- “anyway here’s a list of probable war crimes our dad committed”
- *explanation of Ellen DeGeneres’ entire career from start to finish*
- *footage of 14 year old Luther dancing like he got a touchdown after he killed a man in battle*
- Cha Cha Slide: The Song That Changed Everything
- he slips an Entirely Fake historical event in there just to prank them and his siblings try to call him out on it but then Five backs him up because he’s drunk and wants to cause problems. Three Years Later Ray will still mention something about like The Fall Of Telephonia that resulted after a bloody battle between the two rulers and whoever he’s talking to just like. smiles and nods politely
- “And here’s the news clip where 10 year old Five found out on live air that Santa Claus isn’t real. We literally never saw him smile ever again after this”
- he starts explaining Kardashian/Jenner scandals as if they’re political scandals
but anyway. not the most educational lesson plan but I want everyone to have a break and laugh thank you goodnight lmao
Corona and quarantine have taken a huge toll on all of us and a lot of people have developed depression becouse of this.
The first year of a depression disorder is the most Chaotic and scary, that Is why I want to give you all some advice on how to deal with it.
Extra note, these are things that work for me, everyone is different and experiences depression different so it is possible that my ways may not work for you, and that is okay, well find something that does work.
1. Get enough rest. You are going through a fucking pandemic while dealing with a mental disorder That is from itself already draining your energy. So please make sure to get that extra nap when you need it.
2. Stay active. Maybe a weird one to come after I said to get rest but it's important. When you feel depressed you probably want to stay in bed all day, however this will just make you feel worse. You don't have to walk a marathon everyday, even just sitting outside for a bit can be enough.
3. Hygiëne. Taking care of your hygiene while being depressed is a literal pain in the ass, so don't feel bad if taking a shower or brushing your teeth is too much, go ahead and wear the same depression hoodie for a month. But quickly rinsing your teeth with a wet toothbrush is better than nothing, just plashing water on your face and armpits is beter than nothing. I do Realy recommend trying to wear clean underwear everyday, believe me you don't want to go there.
4. Eat. For most people depression takes away their appetite, that's completely understandable, however you do need food to survive, I recommend that when you manage to go to the grocery store you get some easy meals and snacks. It might not be the most "healthy" but you're focusing on surviving. You also deserve your favorite treat so go get that as well.
5. Also eat. For others depression makes them eat even more. That is completly understandable, you are surviving, so please do not feel bad about the vew pounds you may have gained. You're doing the best you can, you can focus on eating more "healthy" when you feel better.
6. Reflecting moments. Take time out of everyday to reflect on your day and how you're feeling, when you become more aware of your feelings and possible triggers.
7. Keep a journal. To get back to the last one, writing down how you feel is a great way to keep track of your emotions, it's also a amazing way to let go of those thoughts. You don't have to write in it every day, just when you feel like you need to write stuff down.
8. Don't feel bad. Please please please try not to talk yourself down. I know it's easier said than done but it is so important. You are dealing with a mental illness, which is a actual illness. You are doing the best you can. If you can only lay in bed for a week that's totaly okay, if you can only sit and play games, that's great. As long as you're getting through the days you're already doinh amazing and I am so proud of you. Just focus on surviving for now, you'll get to live again one day. I promise.
9. Find stuff that helps you cope. Finding healthy coping meganisms is one of the most important things to do. It will help you through the hard days, I know it's tempting to go for the unhealthy coping meganisms and if thats the only thing helping right now then no one will blame you. But please do try to go for the healthy ones, the unhealthy ones will only course more problems later in life. (believe me, I know)
10. Get therapy. If you have acces to therapy please do seek it. I know it sounds scary and maybe you feel like you can do it on your own but please do find a therapist. Also important to note, find a therapist you like and who actualy helps you. Don't feel bad if you have to send a therapist away, they're here to help you get better and if one of them does not fit you it's in both your best interest to go look for a other one.
I hope this will help, if you have questions or you want extra help do not be afraid to send me a message.
I am in no way a licensed therapist, I am not trained to deal with triggering content or dangerous situations, so if you do want to talk aboht that kind of stuff please put a trigger warning at the beginning so I know what I can expect. Also please do not take my words as the only truth, I'm only human and as I said before, what helps for others might not help for you.
I love you all, I am so proud of you all, I hope we'll all be able to return to our lives soon
I'm currently studying to become a teachers assistent so i have to learn about every ilness, or study disability and basicly everything children from the age of 0 till 20 can go through. I go to every class, do all my homework and i ace all my tests. But it takes like 100000x more effort than my classmates. I have days where i cant get anything done so i have to work even harder on other days so i can finish the 5 assignments i have due. I also never read the books, i never read the books. I memorise everything from class and look up the bits im missing at most.
So i get high scores and im pretty much on top of my class, but its exhausting. I just keep living from assignment to assignment. I have to take all my energy and strength to make it to the next break where i collapse and need to regather all my energy.
But dont get me started on math, i dropped math in highschool. That was actualy a idea from my teacher becouse she saw it.just coused me stress and frustration. But now i have math again and its realy getting in my way of getting the study points i need. I can do the basics, i know 1+1 is 2 becouse i memorised most things but as soon as it gets a bit more advanced my brain stops working. I keep trying to tell my teacher i just cant do it and she keeps telling me to practise so every math class and every test is absolute hell. I open my book to do my homework and sometimes actualy start crying becouse i feel dumb.
Becouse of this post i realised its a common thing and i will be doing more research.
For everyone who DOESN’T have ADHD, congrats, the last 24 hours have showed you exactly what it is like. For everyone else who DOES have ADHD and has spent the day on an ADHDx2 speedrun like I have, I don’t know how we haven’t short-circuited either.
O worm
How about instead of storming area 51, we storm the literal concentration camps and the places where they keep small children in cages
tua headcanon (horror movies night):
luther would definitely be the type to let his siblings hide their faces in his arms whenever they get scared. he’d also be kind enough to sit in the middle and hold the popcorn bowl for everyone because he’s the only one who can get through a movie without yeeting it fifty feet into the air (like klaus)
diego sits on the floor, casually flipping his knives the entire time, the only indication that he ever gets scared being the way he does it faster and faster. and it’s sort of an unspoken rule, but whoever’s sitting behind him gets to be diego’s unofficial pillow for the night. he especially likes it when it’s allison because she has a habit of carding her fingers through his hair, and he’s fallen asleep with his head in her lap on more than one occasion
allison is always in charge of snacks and drinks because she makes a mean margarita and she’s the only one in this household who actually knows how to cook something that isn’t spam or bacon or eggs or instant ramen
the ghosts in horror movies don’t actually scare klaus; c'mon, the man has seen way worse shit than that. it’s just that some of them look too much like the ones he sees in real life, and so he has a hard time disassociating afterwards. still: that little boy from the grudge never fails to freak him out, and whenever he’s on screen, klaus throws popcorn at the tv until he disappears
five doesn’t really care for horror movies but he does appreciate his siblings’ efforts to bond, and so he sits with them for the hour or two it takes to finish a movie with next to no complaint. sometimes, he falls asleep only twenty minutes in, and has to endure all the teasing about being an old man when he wakes. when he does make it through an entire film, it’s only because he’s busy pointing out continuity errors or how ridiculous the other effects are
ben sits with them, but doesn’t really engage; he’s too busy reading for that. it’s also pretty uncomfortable for him to watch movies about dead things and monsters under beds when he finds out that in another timeline, he was dead for 17 years before he managed to move on. besides, he gets more scared from the sound of allison, klaus, and vanya screaming than the actual movie anyway
once, they decide to watch a lovecraftian horror film, and ben thinks it’d be funny to release a few tentacles and sneak up on everyone from behind. the result is one wasted bowl of popcorn, a knife missing his ear by a few inches, vanya shattering at least three vases, and klaus’ incessant screeching about “you could’ve killed me, ben! do you want me to follow you around for the rest of your life? no? yeah, didn’t think so!” but hey: it’s the best prank he’s ever played, and it’s just so, so worth it
vanya tries to pretend like she isn’t scared, but she actually is. horror movies had never been her thing, even when they were young. but klaus’ running commentary is actually pretty funny and allison sometimes tells juicy stories about the actors, especially the ones she’s worked with in the past, and so vanya stays. besides it’s nice to curl into luther’s side and feel him jump a bit whenever somebody on screen gets murdered, and it’s even nicer to laugh at him afterwards when he tries to pass it off as being “cold”
afterwards, they retreat to their respective rooms. but in the middle of the night, allison hears her door creak open and in creeps klaus, tugging ben by his sleeve with vanya not too far behind. after a while, luther comes as well, half-dragging a protesting diego behind him
they’re in the middle of making an awesome fort when five teleports in, carrying a box of griddy’s donuts and a carton of milk to wash it all down. for some reason, they’ve always just known when the others are in need of sweets, and tonight is no exception
while they eat, they share stories about their childhood and although it has the potential to turn sad really quick, it also helps them grow closer when they realize just how much they have in common, even after all these years. saving the world thrice from an apocalypse does that to a family, i guess
five is the last to fall asleep so it’s his duty to turn the lights off, but before he does, he takes a minute to take in his sleeping siblings’ faces: of ben–still slightly distant but slowly accepting that this is where he belongs–curled against allison, who has always thrown off heat like a furnace; vanya burrowed under three comforters because even as an adult, she still gets cold at the drop of a hat; klaus’ head resting on luther’s chest; diego face-down into a pillow, his hand stretched out towards the space they’ve all reserved for five, searching for his brother even in sleep
and in that moment, five just feels so much love for them swell up in his chest that all other worries fly out of his head because what else could matter when his family is here and safe and together again? so five flicks off the switch, lies down, and lets diego mash his face into his shoulder because even if he wakes up all drooled-on tomorrow, there’s still no place he’d rather be
I found ma next power move for therapy.
I take a bottle of ink with me and everytime my therapist takes notes i take a shot of the ink.
People born in 2015 are now 36 years old.
Let that sink in.
