Scorpio has to explain sex jokes to their cancer family members sometimes much to the chagrin of said family members
fyi to yall in quarantine whos grasp on reality is getting a little slippery: isolation, intense boredom, stress and lack of positive routine are absolutely contributing factors to exacerbating psychosis and psychosis-adjacent disorders, even latent ones. im not saying this to fearmonger im saying it so u can recognise it and take steps to handle it especially if it induces your first ever episode.
some warning signs can include
those most at risk are anyone with a family history of this vein of mental illness as well as those using certain drugs to get through the tedium of quarantine - if this is you, its best to research whether the substances youre using have documented links to triggering episodes of psychosis in users. weed is included in this, not just psychoactive drugs.
here are some steps you can take to get a handle on the situation if your grasp on reality is slipping like this and you cant access irl mental health resources.
this is honestly just a basic surface scratch of advice though bc im by no means an expert, just someone w latent psychosis who used to work in the field for a while. there are tons of resources online by others who have experienced psychosis that can be a huge help if u think you might be at risk due to the stress, boredom and uncertainty of quarantine
Good, actionable advice. My own issues are in the depression and anxiety side of things, but this is also something to watch out for.
Yes yes yes to all of this.
Also -- pro tip if you think you're having visual or auditory hallucinations: use your phone to record what you're seeing/hearing. Then you can review the playback yourself, or send it to a friend who can tell you "Nope, nothing there, you're good."

I mean, who knows how that door works?
It doesn’t work.
Well I didn’t even know how it doesn’t work.
I meant to post this ages ago once it had finished healing. This is my one tattoo, my first tattoo. I got it in late 2018, after the election, which the tattoo artist thought was incredibly appropriate.
But for me, it’s more than that. I wanted it in a place I’ve historically self-harmed, someplace I’d see it when falling down that spiral to remind me of how much strength I have underneath it all, but also a place I could easily show it off if I wanted to. So it’s on the inside of my upper arm.
A lot of things in the Newsflesh books were inspiring, encouraging, and validating for me. I’ve listened to the audiobooks dozens of times at this point. And this phrase, repeated so many times throughout the story, feels like a reminder that even at the times we think we’re at our lowest there may still be strength there we can use, if only enough strength to call for help.
I also got my first tattoo in a place where I had historically self-harmed, to stop myself from doing it again.
I am so proud of you.
Best of luck putting your time and energy where it needs to go <3 TikvaWolf.com

so on the subject of stolen property, i’ve seen various arguments on this point but it is in fact true that inheriting something from a relative, when you know full well that it was stolen, does not make it yours.
this clearly goes doubly so for powerful magical artifacts, and especially for artifacts which are strongly implied to contain part of their creator’s soul!
you can talk about consequences - maybe the artifact in question has benefits for you, maybe you’re not convinced its rightful owners would use it responsibly - but talking about the consequences doesn’t erase the fact that whatever benefits you think you’re getting are achieved through wrongful means.
which is why i, too, think Frodo should have given the One Ring back to Sauron. thief.
Hahahahaha here comes the law student nerd ready to complicate your wonderful post, op.
(Really this is just pretext for me to study for my property final in a week, so thanks yeah)
Because according to the principles of common property law, the matter of who actually owns title to the One Ring becomes really complicated really fast.
Buckle up babes for the pedantic law lecture no one asked for.
(more under the cut)
