i sure fucking wish pharmaceutical companies weren’t permitted to bribe insurers into not covering their competitors’ more effective drugs! that sure would be cool! it would be especially fucking cool if i didn’t have to go for an infusion at the worst possible time, as colorado’s COVID-19 numbers skyrocket out of control and everyone continues to not take this seriously, just to ensure that i’m not stuck for ages without the drug that keeps my white blood cells from eating my brain

I seem to have fallen out of love with reading and I don't know how to get back into it. I want to support all these new creators coming into the fandom but I just; Don't have the energy to engage in something new, even when it's fanfic so I already know the source material and can hit the ground running. I still write and update my WIPs, but that makes me feel even worse for not reading others story's as I know how important comments are for motivation. How can I fall back in love with reading?

First of all: hugs. Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Let it out. 

You don’t have to do everything. 

Life is busy. Life is stressful. There’s a lot of stuff going on and that’s all a lot to deal with. If you don’t have the energy to read fic right now, then don’t read fic. I’m at a point where I’m dipping back into fandoms I read literally twenty years ago because that’s what my brain can handle right now. I’ve accepted that, and I’m giving myself what I need. 

Reading takes energy, just like writing does. Commenting takes energy too. All of it requires focus and concentration and mental processing power that you might or might not have a lot of. 

It’s not that you’ve fallen out of love with reading. It’s that your brain can’t handle new information right now. It might be a good idea to unplug a bit, if you can. Step back from social media. Ignore the news for a week. Reconnect with yourself and the people around you without thinking about everyone online or out in the world. If you’ve been stretching yourself too thin, take some time to contract again. 

The other day, I redid a stress inventory that I did when I was working full time while in graduate school and buying my first home. I’ve got more stress now than I had then - and that’s saying something! But when you look at that list and you think about the world we live in currently, you can see how much we’re all going through. 

Forgive yourself for not being able to do what you used to be able to do. Rethink what your “normal” is. Your best is going to be different on any given day because some days are better than others. You’ll get back to reading again when you have the energy for it, so do what you can to take care of yourself and get some of your energy back. ❤

Multiple Personalities Millennial Trafalgar Law au

What if there was an op au that was like the millennial/genz answer to fucking Fight Club

May I present:

Dissociative identity disorder Law, but instead of being a toxic 90s action movie trope hes just this gay depressed millennial with some shitty early trauma, no will to exist in our dystopic modern society, and an antiestablishment streak a mile wide

So, one of us

His alters aren't some crazed antihero things, but protective personalities that (soemtimes ineptly) try to keep him safe from harm and stress

So, his crew

Penguin is the main alter, an efficient yet chill goofball who takes over whenever law cant deal with mundane stresses like going to the bank.

Look, hes a millennial, the bank is a fucking ordeal.

Shachi is a peppy, social sweetheart who takes over when law is forced into social situations, especially groups. Shachi and penguin together take care of most stresses Law faces in the world

Law can deal with most things, he's getting better. but there'll be seemingly random things like a siren or a screech of laughter and he'll just find himself phasing out, til hes gone, and penguin will find himself standing on the street with no real clue how they got there or what they're supposed to be doing. But he rolls with it! Penguins good at figuring things out and getting them home. Law leaves notes for him and shachi on their phone so they know what's up that day if something should happen. They record clips for each other on the phone too, to discuss things. They regard each other like roommates, even brothers.

There's the bepo alter, who comes out only in private, and carries the burden of Law's need for comfort. He's emotional, hesitant and extremely vulnerable. He's also one of the only ones law can let out or stifle on purpose.

Law tries to let bepo out now and then, because he feels bad that he's always stuck in the deep dark of laws head. Law will bring home a fluffy blanket and a pumkpin spice latte and let bepo take over for a couple hours, so he can experience some good things.

Then there are the Doffy and Cora alters

These aren't quite... as helpful as the crew alters, but they're not actually antagonistic. They're part of Law's development and they're older than the crew. They're also the only ones that can 'co-pilot' with law and share thoughts with him, though never at the same time.

Law can't control them.

They come out in response to more extreme stresses, and can sometimes take over and push law to the passenger seat. They are usually at odds with each other and sometimes fight to come out if they don't like what the other is doing.

Doffy is simple. He emerged from law's early experiences of extreme cruelty, and that's what he's good at facing. Any hint of toxic treatment from others and Doffy will suddenly be in Law's ear, analyzing the threat and suggesting horrific ways to eliminate it. He also tends to emerge in moments of extreme frustration or pain. He wants things to be simple for law -- he wants them to do the things that will get them ahead, and to not care about the human consequences

Law never lets Doffy take over because law is not a fucking idiot.

Law has a complicated relationship with cora.

Cora is an expression of love and altruism who emerged from witnessing others' pain. He's actually kinda violent himself, but just because he's so protective. He cant stand seeing others hurting, especially the weak, and will come out when Law is faced with injustice or grief.

Law feels complicated about him because this empathy and self sacrifice thing is seriously nothing but trouble. Every time. Law wants to do things Cora's way, he really does, but it's never good. You get involved in stuff you dont wanna.

Cora has a bad habit of taking over if Law is being resistant, and making him stop the bullies, punch the cop, or worse, offer a shoulder to someone in need.

Which is great, except that these things usually lead to Law being faced with violence or second hand trauma in turn, which then leads to... doffy coming out.

The fic is about Law navigating daily life with all this happening in his head. But the tension doesn't come from like, "will doffy win and make law do all kinds of crazy stuff" because all of the alters, doff included, are just there to keep law safe.

The tension of the story is about Law navigating the shitty everyday of late capitalism, and learning how to be vulnerable safely, and finding balance between his fight or also fight coping mechanisms, and maybe finding love...

I mean, definitely finding love.

And since this is a fight club au, at the end of the fic he definitely still blows up some credit card company together with his lover and they hold hands
