character: is rough around the edges, mysterious, antagonistic, slightly dangerous, has a great smile, cares a lot, needs a punch to the face and a hug
jensen “i don’t remember what i had for breakfast today” ackles remembers every detail of the first time he went out to dinner with misha ten years ago
I just kinda wrote about this elsewhere but it’s striking to me how it’s obviously some kind of kink power trip between them since Jensen stands up and squares off against Misha as he says “Let’s hear a little bit of it.” Misha stares, backs up as Jensen walks forward, then clearly decides “fine–fuck you” and they swap roles, Misha moving forward and Jensen moving back until he consciously stops himself as Misha keeps moving to (almost) get in his face. I mean, big grins all the while so obviously it’s all fun but there’s a definite power play going on that makes it crackle with sexual tension.
And before Misha remembers a line from the scene what does he say? “Oh, yes, you like to– you like that water, do you?” (since Jensen was holding the water bottle he was drinking from…I feel like I could write a whole meta on the innuendo surrounding water bottles in Jensen/Misha panels but anyway) and Jensen nods and grins. I feel like the initial “like to” was…not about water. Like maybe, “Oh, yes, you like to hear me talk like this?”. Because we *all* know about the accent kink. Anyway, that shit was hot and there was so definite provocation into a show of dominance happening there and now I’ve died and am writing this from the afterlife.
So I was just watching some older movies, one of them being Romeo and Juliet.
And the last scene starts.
The one where Romeo sees the love of his life. And he thinks she’s dead, but it turns out she’s not (why am I explaining this everyone knows how the story goes)
Anyways guys, DO YOU SEE THIS?!
Wtf???
I’m not a meta person, so I don’t know what to conclude. Can someone help please?
my mom taught me the therapeutic power of cleaning. open all the windows. throw out the old. wipe down the entire house. burn some incense. roast some coffee. then rest. that way the tears from last night don’t feel as heavy.
She just wanted you to clean the house
No it’s actually been studied and proven that for people with anxiety and depression that it’s really good for us it gives us a sense of control, setting, and being well grounded. It allows to make a new place out of the old and is really relaxing
It is such a catch-22, that cleaning when you are depressed (and likely less able to gather the executive functioning to do so) also alleviates it. After having a good clean, I always feel more in control and less stressed. It’s the getting started that is the hardest part. The good news is, even a tiny bit of cleaning has a positive effect, so start with what you can manage.
Even if you just clean up the immediate area around you, even if you clean a little at a time or spaced out over days, you’ll feel lighter.
This!!
Even if all you can do is put three dishes in the dishwasher, or move the dirty laundry pile to outside the laundry door, or throw out that box of leftovers that have been sitting in the fridge for 2 weeks
it counts.
My therapy professor always gets his patients to just wipe the bathroom mirror when they’re feeling that way. Just the mirror, nothing more. But then by the time his patients are done with the mirror, most of them report “well, I was already in the bathroom, so I did the sink and tub too.” And before they know it, they’ve cleaned an entire bathroom.
My therapist once told me that, every day, I should try and do at least one thing that I either enjoyed, or gave me a sense of mastery. And honestly, the enjoyment thing can kind of seem overrated, especially when you feel like crap, but the mastery thing? Doing laundry or taking out the trash or whatever else I can bring myself to accomplish?
Holy shit, man… it’s /good/
This stuff saved my ass back when I had depression. Vacuuming the room, spraying some febreze shit and wiping some countertops works wonders.
tiny baby steps are helpful
do what you can, forgive yourself for what you can’t, and challenge yourself to do better tomorrow (and it’s okay to fail at this; just try again the next tomorrow)
