SO in order to maintain my status as a ‘homestuck blog’. I just want to say that I started reading the epilogues but got about to the part where dirk takes over the narrative before I basically went ‘nah this is stupid’ and stopped
For all intents and purposes I have now replaced ‘canon’ in my head with my own damn stabdads-centric urban magic au and its going to stay that way
just a heads up the person who made this comment is not actually a landlord, works a part time retail job, and left this comment in that group as a joke
I heard an interview, can’t remember the psychologist, but he was explaining this idea and encouraging people to stop and take a deep breath and literally drink in small moments like you’re a dryass plant when something is ever satisfactory, positive, mildly successful, randomly joyful so your brain can code and integrate that experience because our natural lizard brain will quickly tape over it with mostly unnecessary negative survival shit. Sounds dumb and dorky but sometimes I remember this when I’m feeling good about a moment because our cave brains are still catching up with modern life without sabertooths. I like that it’s not just a pollyanna gosh just be more positive thing but more of a legit brain wiring phenomenon can be gradually hacked through small behavioral changes.
