The Great Detective Turned Small

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

Hello there, Moss! I'm part of the DCMK-Exchange event, and I'll be closing my asks with "DCMK" (for the meantime or until we agree on something else together) so you can identify me. :3 How are you doing? And since we share a certain interest: which case are you at in DetCo currently? Also, do you prefer the manga or the anime? I'm looking forward to getting to know you better and I hope your day is extra lovely! - DCMK

Hello hello!

Today is going well, especially compared to past years. As for which case in DetCo, I should mention I watch multiple episodes per day most times, so by the end of the day the answer will likely be outdated, but my next case is The Mystery Writer Disappearance Case (Part 1), and I've been watching the anime! I do plan to read the manga at some point, but since I'm watching multiple series I've stuck with the anime for now. I will mention I'm watching it in Japanese, sometimes with English subtitles, sometimes not, since I'm trying to learn Japanese. I did hear there's a lot of localisation for the dub?

I think that should be a fine identifier since, if I recall correctly, there's a character limit on asks, and I wouldn't wanna trouble you with a change if it's unnecessary.

I hope your day is going well, and ends even better!

That's ok, don't worry about it! And that is understandable, and a good decision too, since Ai has lots of layers to her. What did you think about the cases then? And again, that is ok, that is why I said, if it's something you can talk about! And I'm ot sure what hotcakes are, is it a kind of pancake? And what s coffee jelly? The latter sounds absolutely delightful (and from the pictures I saw while looking it up, it also looks very delicious). - DCMK 1/2

Hotcakes are pancakes but more thick/dense.

I enjoy coffee jelly a lot, and I make it at home from time to time now since it's fairly easy to make but cheaper than buying it from the few places that do have it available here. Sometimes I can be found eating some while watching anime. Sometimes I use the plates from the tea set I showed ya.

I decided to take some time and watch some episodes I liked from Astro Boy 03, since I needed the comfort and nostalgia. I've officially seen all the main Studio Ghibli films, which is nice.

Felt a need to draw hugs (thinking about sea grunks has made me extra emotional :’))

Mugs are one of the best things in this world, I'm so fond of them and always have the need to get more (even if I know I have more than enough). Thanks to this I also tend to think about what kind of mugs my favourite characters drink from. *laughs* And gosh, that was such a nice episode, I loved how silly and protective Shinichi was of Ran in it. Did you you know it was a filler episode? And it also had Sonoko's first appearance! (Gosh, I love Sonoko so much.) - DCMK

The more mugs, the more I don't have to wait for the dishwasher to drink more tea and cocoa and whatnot! Also now you've got me thinking which of my random assortment of mugs would I assign to which characters.... hmmm....

Sometimes it really is hard to imagine Shin'ichi when Conan is being silly, but sometimes it's also funny when I can.

i simply need everyone to understand that i am tired all of the time. literally at all moments. if i ever go somewhere and do something, it is not because i am somehow full of energy, but instead that i have carefully stored up all of my little bits of energy like a dragon collecting jewels, and am now vaporizing them all at once
