Why Do You Hurt? (Toxin)

Why Do You Hurt? (Toxin)

you're choking on how much you have to try

you have tried. you have carried the weight of the world on your shoulders and accepted more responsibilities than you have ever wanted, even intended to gain. it isn't crushing - you are strong enough to hold it - but you are choking. you don't know what to do with it. you don't know where it goes, how to move this weight everyone knows you can hold onto, and do you even want to get rid of it? Never. You would not give this to - force this on - anyone else. but you /can't/. but you are choking on it. your body will hold it up even when you lose all the air in your lungs, and your footing, and your courage. it does not mind choking you. it seems almost designed to do so. if you weren't wrung out you wouldn't be doing this thing properly.

Yoinked from @venomousovereignty

There comes a time when fandom becomes less of an escape from anxiety to being the source of anxiety. Sometimes I need to remind myself what’s important to focus on, and I made this chart to help me with that. 

(Posting this at the request of a few people. The design/concept was inspired by an instagram post about covid-19 located here). 

Name: Clean!Ink Alias: Suds AU: Clean!Tale Occupation: cleans aus Home: Soap Bubble

Suds Creators: @ut-fallensky​ and @nozapuns​ Ink belongs to @comyet

Appearance: Shirtless (tattoos visible), apron, brown shorts, yellow rubber gloves, sash with cleaner vials, long scarf with bubbles at the end, white head bandanna Secondary Outfit: Maid outfit Items: Mop, spray bottle, vials with various cleaners, shoe sponge attachments, scarf (used for cleaning) Personality: Cheerful, adventurous, OCD, prankster Likes: Cleaning, cleaners, organization, mop, “SPARKLE~!” Dislikes: NIGHTMARE, filth, germs, his permanent cheek smudge Best Friend: Woshua

About: Suds is an ink variant that travels the multiverse to clean aus. He cannot stand filth and fights germs. Nightmares constant dripping and goop has deemed him the ultimate enemy, closely followed by his gang of filthy pals killer, dust, and horror. Ink is also considered a filth hazard. Suds follows the gang to cleanup after their messes. The cleaners are drinkable to Suds and will change the color of his scarf ends. When there is nothing to clean, Suds will make a mess just to get the satisfaction of cleaning it up later. He does not loose sleep over not cleaning however and can chill out. Suds ends each sentence with “sparkle!”

Head Canon: Paps Will Still Carry Lucid

Despite the fact that Lucid is no longer a short Classic Sans, his Papyrus will still carry him when Lucid is being “too lazy”. His Paps complains all the more about it, especially now that they’re nearly identical in height.

I’d like to adopt all three types of lamia bittys you recommended: a krait, a king and a chain. Not only can I share my love with them, they’ll have more friends and company at all times.

*You finally received your lamia bitty matchup, and you couldn’t be happier. After reading the recommendations, you’ve decided... that it is impossible to decide between the three lamia types. You’re going to adopt all three of them: a Krait, a King, and a Chain. You can’t keep the smile from your face as you step into the friendly atmosphere of the Lamia (and Felid) Bittybones Adoption Center.

*You can already sense the presence of a compatible Chain thrumming through your SOUL. You’ve read about SOULbonds before, but you never realized it felt so strong and so soothing. The SOUL attraction was like seeing a beloved stuffed animal years after thinking you’d lost it: comfort and belonging. Knowing that the Chain must feel it too, you trust him to find you and wander over to the Kings to watch some displays.

*The Kings perk up as soon as they see you showing interest. Between the sensation of the Chain’s SOUL swiftly approaching, and the elaborate bows and heroic posing of the Kings, you are quite thoroughly impressed and excited with the success of your trip. You’ve even chosen a favorite among the Kings- a handsome fellow with a certain twinkle to his eyelight when you speak about your rescue rehabilitation work that you find hard to resist. Apparently, this King is another kindred spirit.

*The Chain arrives within another few minutes, and he’s everything you could’ve wanted, rushing in for a cuddle after a quick pause to make sure you’re comfortable with it. You notice a look pass between the King and the Chain. You wonder what’s going on when suddenly, the King begins to do more poses. You focus on him, admiring his efforts, but you spot movement out of the corner of your eye. It seems that the Chain is trying to slip a Krait into your pocket. From the mischievous gleam in the Chain’s eyelights, you guess that he knows he’s been spotted and does not intend to stop. Surreptitiously, you shift to give him easier access to the pocket.

*You hear a tiny gasp from your pocket and can’t help glancing down. The Krait is hanging precariously from your pocket, holding a seashell aloft. You’d planned to show it off at the Krait pool, but this little guy has already discovered it and is gasping softly with wonderment as he turns it over and over in his hands. A third kindred spirit, you think. The thought stays with you as you lead the three lamias to the front desk and sign their adoption forms. You can’t help smiling, with the hope of many more smiles to come.
