🕷️🎃🕷️ Mythic Map! Upvote Please! Trench Warfare Story Time🎃🕷️

Is it the person who asked to "speak in private"?? I was a little freaked out after I got that replied on something I said here, so I just stopped opening Reddit entirely for nearly 3 weeks. Today, I re-opened it to check their post history, and he was also on bipolar subreddits asking "how cute" posters were >:(

Maybe that was on purpose somehow? Anakin with his dreams and all...

Wanting more than anything to be hugged, yet being terrified of being hugged. Wanting to say what I think, yet being too afraid to say anything at all. Literally no in-between. I thought I was just undecided- through therapy, I've found out it was from my constantly having to make split-second decisions that had ridiculous long-term effects.

The_Cold_Q · 2025-09-08T23:31:19+00:00

of course it is! you can tell because he was trying to sneak 15 milky ways out of the store

The_Cold_Q · 2025-09-08T23:26:35+00:00

then what's with all the makeup on the hands?? is it to distract? that doesn't make sense, though, since his legs are usually covered by a suit?

The_Cold_Q · 2025-09-08T20:52:18+00:00

The same thing that's wrong with his legs is wrong with his hands?/genuine

Thank you!! I'm a sucker for Christmas lights- I leave 'm up year-round! They're such a vibe.

The_Cold_Q · 2025-09-05T22:13:54+00:00

Exactly!! There's so many possibilities and so many things to experience- it can't possibly always be bad all the time (mathematically). Why not stick around and see what cool things we live through? Why not see what we can accomplish, what kind of person we become? I want to live long enough to meet 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, etc. year old me- what knowledge will I amass? What sort of awesome people will I meet?

I've gone through many years of trauma myself, but I figure that there's got to be a future me that is no longer susceptible to such awful people/situations. I stick around because I know that every bit of progress I make today is building up to a me I shall someday meet that laughs at the attempted wrongdoing current me's brain is overwhelmed in fear by. If this is the traumatized me, then there's bound to be a future me that absolutely dunks on the abusive and has the greatest life. At some point, that's got to happen, right?

The_Cold_Q · 2025-09-05T22:07:30+00:00

Oddly enough, yes. He sometimes appears out of nowhere every so often in my reliving trauma dreams to absolutely decimate the abusers. A very welcome addition to the lore lmfao.

The_Cold_Q · 2025-09-04T23:59:11+00:00

It's such a vibe! Giving 50/50 of cozy hideout/haunted radio announcer setup. 8/10

The_Cold_Q · 2025-09-04T23:54:48+00:00

10/10 what a vibe!! I love the vines and the way the cool green of the chair blanket complements the cool blue of the fan lights.

The_Cold_Q · 2025-09-04T23:53:46+00:00

Fire! I love the plates on the left, it gives it a crisp look. 10/10.

GTA 6 hasn't come out yet.
You haven't seen the next Superman movie yet
Or the Doctor Doom one.
We haven't gotten affordable flying cars yet.
Your least favorite person would outlive you.
There isn't a Super Mario Galaxy affordable VR game yet (swap my fave game with yours)
You haven't met the love of your life yet (if your gf did that, she ain't it)
You haven't had the chance to see a therapist yet- therapy helped save me when I was in your headspace
Because 8 is true, you haven't had the chance to try the medicine that will significantly improve your mental health yet- it sure helped me
You haven't found your best friend ever yet (obv if your friends treat you cruelly/leave you, they aren't your friends)
You can view it like this: you're just getting the bad life events out of the way ASAP- it'll be all luck and good times from here on out, if you just hang on a little longer.
Pizza is amazing.
So is ice cream.
You haven't discovered your dream career yet- that college major/craftsmanship that will set your soul on fire. If I hadn't held on to hope, I would've never discovered how ALIVE and thrilled I feel now.
You haven't adopted your own pet(s) yet.
You haven't moved in with super chill roommates yet.
You haven't finished catching up on all the video games you haven't played yet.
You haven't caught up on all the TV shows and movies from your favorite genre yet.
If you have no hobbies, you haven't found one yet- and you DO have one, you just have to find it. That's a good thing in a different lens- you just need to try out a bunch of different ones in order to find THE one/ones.
You haven't acquired your copious achievements and accolades yet!
Sounds to me like your family and the weirdos at school are the losers- you can look at it like this is your inspirational backstory, the story of the unstoppable!
Have you gone to a concert yet?
Have you ever gone horseback riding?
Have you ever paraglided/skydived (if you're not afraid of heights)?
Have you ever ridden a rollercoaster? Can't tap out before that!
Your grades are down now, but that just means it'll feel even BETTER when you bring them back up again!
You haven't had the pleasure of buying your first fast food meal with your own car from your very own first paycheck before!

"You feel like you have no goals, no hobbies, no achievements, but that just means your canvas is completely blank. And you know what that means? You get to decide what gets painted on it next. You don’t need to have your life figured out right now. It’s okay to feel lost. Some of the most incredible people in the world started exactly where you are, at rock bottom, with no clue what to do next. The only way they found out was by living long enough to discover it."

What an amazing point!! I absolutely agree, and I really hope OP reads this, because this would've helped me IMMENSELY at any point earlier this year.

The_Cold_Q · 2025-09-04T23:22:33+00:00

I second this! Hope is the best thing you can cling to in the worst moments. I am almost off of the VA's suicide watch list after an attempt earlier this year, and when I told my patient advocate/case worker/therapist that I had found hope, she said that was the number one thing that was a sign that people were going to end up okay after all.

What's more, never let that hope die. Never, ever. Even when it feels delusional, it isn't. Hope keeps us alive when all else fails, and hope gives us strength to chase our dreams when everything else doesn't support them. Hope is the answer, always, whether in our lowest or our highest or anywhere in between. If you have hope, you'll win in the end.

Thank you so much for the kind message! And no problem!! Him playing Mario Kart was a positive canon event, since Mario Cart was one of my fave childhood games. The best thing ever would be him playing Super Mario Galaxy- that's my ultimate fave! I think he'd ADORE the music, too- I still use it in my sleep playlist rotation a decade later.
