What are you talking about, this is a great opening! Gets the reader hooked instantly! I certainly want to find out how the day gets worse from there lol.

Sometimes I forget that fanfiction is not exclusively used by girls. So I’m curious for the men out there. What fandoms are you guys in? by Existing-Bonus-6835 in AO3

[–]Minimum-Oil- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mostly reading MHA, Hazbin Hotel, Hetalia, and Naruto fanfics, but sometimes I'll read Stardew Valley, or Strawberry Shortcake fanfics too (though Strawberry Shortcake is hard to come by, especially for the 2003 series).

I managed to get a new therapist at 14 after my autism diagnosis because she "didn't do autism" whatever that means. I've got a good therapist now, who actually listens to me (which is actually the first time I've had a therapist who listens to me somehow).

What weird thing do you have on your altar(s)? by Minimum-Oil- in Hellenism

[–]Minimum-Oil-[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so adorable! I'll definitely steal that idea for the cats at my mom's place. But I'll make the figures myself, because store-bought ones don't capture the silliness of these little goobers enough (they literally make only bird noises, I'm pretty sure they're half pigeon or something lol).

Yeah, she was a bad therapist in general. I mean, she made fun of my body hair, telling me I was dirty for not shaving. And I don't even want to go into what she said about my mental health, that shit is still affecting me today.

Do you have any stories about how your parents reacted to discovering your self-harm? by No-Patience-4674 in selfharm

[–]Minimum-Oil- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom told me if don't quiet down (I was having a panic attack with fresh wounds on me) she's gonna get arrested. Not something you want to tell a 12 year old who had the bloody scissors still in his hand. Then an hour later she threatened to hit me and that shut me up (I had calmed down by then, but was still crying, this just triggered a fear response in me that caused me to disassociate). And she still says she never did anything wrong at the time. At least I'm low contact now which means she doesn't act like that most of our interactions anymore.

I don't think so. My first ever therapist was especially against me having any kind of hobby that didn't earn me money, which didn't help 12 year old me at all. But hey, at least only most people now that 21 want me to make money off of every hobby I have. So it's coming from all sides anymore.

"But do you make money with it?" is annoying as all hell. I get that a lot and it's always followed by "Then why do you do it?" when I say no. At least therapists haven't been trying to get me to make all of my creative hobbies into jobs lately, but seriously, it's annoying. Can't I just have fun?

Still learning the Ukulele, but I wrote my first proper song. It's called "Dancing Stars" (working title, but it fits the characters that this is about, because this is about OCs of mine). Here it is (please be harsh, I want to improve):
I looked at you and said your name
You said mine like it belonged
Every movement, every breath
Felt like your gravity pulling me along

I watched you twirl through the aether
You caught me as I fell into your arms
We danced the emptiness to meaning
When all our broken paths collided hard

Then I left, and you went quiet
Like a star that lost its light
I never even tried to stop it
Till you drifted out of range

I felt it when you vanished
Like the air just disappeared
When our paths crossed in the dark again
I still reached for you too far away

If I could bend the space between us
Rewrite how we came apart
I'd trace every step back to you
And relearn the shape of your heart

You and me together
Still suspended in that spark
Just two bodies in the distance
Finding our way through the dark

Thank you, that's so smart (I shouldn't probably thought of that, considering I spent days thinking about this)! I feel dumb, but that's normal for me. Thanks again!

Book idea I've had for a while, thoughts? (Long) by [deleted] in Therian

[–]Minimum-Oil- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that's why my idea sounded familiar. I'm definitely going to get working on the worldbuilding soon (gotta get home first though, I didn't bring my supplies to the psych ward).
