A Champion Time For The Heart Ch20 Spikemuth Spiral

You were very weary on your long journey with your friends and water pokemon on your long trip to the place called Spikemuth. ..Where Team Yell and Marnie were from. You were on high alert, looking around many times and looking over your shoulder to keep an eye out for those Rock Star Wannabes or Marnie. You still hadn’t asked her if she was was connected to Team Yell and if she was in what way. Which you’d liked to find out. With Victor leading the way with his GPS, the four of you had set off down Route Eight when light first hit and off you left from Hammerlocke towards Spikemuth. …Still strangely sounding familiar to you. ..Oh well. The four(five of you counting Drizzilie too) traveled all day along Route Eight until the sun had set and you all were forced to make camp and rest for the night, before waking up the next morning and following the road again. The trip was like any other you all have taken before. Taking many days and passing the occasional small town, houses, or other passerbys. Only this time you kept an eye out for any Team Yell Grunts or Marnie again. But the days you were on Route Eight there was nothing. Even when you all stopped at a small town to restock supplies, stay at the local inn, and even did a few odd ‘poke jobs’ to earn a bit of pocket money. No signs of them, which you weren’t sure if it was a good or bad thing considering. But you were glad to not have any run ins with them for the time being. A day or two’s journey later your group ran into a fork in the road and stopped as Victor whipped out his phone to check his regional maps.

“This is where Route Eight connects to Route Nine,” he explained looking at his phone’s screen, “Right in front of us is the start of Route Nine. So we should just keep walking straight forward!”

It's not fair to tolerate discomfort to make someone else comfortable. You're not less deserving of joy, rest and happiness than anyone else. You don't have to prove yourself worthy to have the most basic things in life, and I am sorry someone has made you feel like you should be perfect. You don't have to put up with so much only to prove you're not a burden on others. I hope soon you can let go of all this guilt and shame you have for simply existing. I hope soon you will feel more alive than ever.

Maybe recovering doesn’t necessarily mean you come back to who you were, but you become someone new. Maybe you find a new sense of self. Maybe you like this version better. Maybe you feel like you improved as a person, in a new direction that you didn’t expect to go. Healing comes in different ways, but I hope it works out for you, and that you feel comfortable in your own skin and that you can cope better with any challenges that may come.

I’ve been reframing thoughts from “they could do it, but I can’t because I’m not good enough” to “they could do it and so can I because we’re both humans just trying our best”, or from “I can’t show up unless I’m perfect” to “I don’t have to be perfect, I just have to show up”, or from “the future is hopeless” to “there is hope even if I can’t see it”, or from “I will always feel this bad” to “everything is temporary”, or from “it is taking too much time to get better” to “it took time to get sick, it will take some time and patience to get better”.

But that reframing takes time too. It takes effort. It takes doing little things to make yourself feel better even when at first doing those things seems silly. Sometimes, you will fall off track, but you will get back up on your progress after resting as much as you need. Remember that this is about progression and not perfection. Remember it takes time, it takes a lot of trying, grieving, self-acceptance and self-forgiveness, but it is worth it, because little by little, you start to change, you start to get better. Don’t hold yourself to the highest of standards in your recovery, please keep in mind that you deserve to enjoy life, that you deserve to heal, that you deserve this progress, even if you’re not doing it perfectly, even if it seems slow, even if at first it feels hard to believe that you deserve good things. You don’t have to earn your healing by being perfect at it. Take your time. Rest if you must. But keep going, you’re doing great just by trying.

You don’t have to be perfect all the time to be worthy of love - you don’t have to earn it in a way that contradicts your own humanity. I’m sorry someone made you feel that way, like you can never accomplish anything unless you are perfect in every way, that you must alway have your guard up and walk on eggshells to please everyone around you so they would deem you worthy of success, of respect, of love, of companionship.

When those basic needs are neglected, you start to believe you haven’t done enough to earn them, and you fall into a spiral trying to please someone who can’t be pleased. But I’m here to tell you that you don’t have to earn these things in the first place, that being imperfect doesn’t make you an unacceptable and inadequate person, it doesn’t make you unlovable. The person who treated you this way was never deserving of your own love, of your desperate attempts to please them. It’s on them, not on you.

The expectations they put on you were so unreachable for any human being, and you were deemed to fail, but not because you were always a failure. They were always so demanding that no one, not even themselves, could reach the desired level of perfection and pleasing behavior they asked of you. It was absolutely unfair for them to do so. And most of all, none of this was your fault. It’s not your behavior that was unacceptable - it was theirs.

You’re not unlovable. And even if their voice echoes through your head a lot repeating those awful things they made you believe about your own worth, I hope you can try to contradict them. You are finding your own voice now, one that tells you that you’re still worthy of love because you’re a human being, just like everyone else, and every person deserves respect and kindness. And slowly, hopefully, we can shift that belief in our inadequacy into one that is kinder and more confident in who we are, because even with all our flaws, we’re not unworthy of love.

Please, stop pressuring people with trauma to “just let it go” and “stop holding onto it”. Healing from trauma is much more difficult than people imagine and recovery takes time, and it is not always a linear progress. Try to listen to them if they want to talk about it. Be there for them: a support system helps a lot. Let them know they are not alone in their struggles. Understand the complexity of trauma healing, instead of telling someone to “snap out of it”. Try to be understanding or sympathetic towards what they went through and be patient with their recovery.

Does doing art feel too hard? Can't bring yourself to start even though you want to?

Lower your standards

And more importantly, Lower your expectations

Just start it. You can just put down some colors, or just sketch, or just do lineart. It doesn't have to be more than this. Even starting is enough. Don't think about all the work you need to put into it. Don't set unnecessary expectations for your art.

If you get some sketches going but decide to do something else, that's perfectly okay. If you get to coloring but leave it halfway, that's perfectly okay. There's also no wrong way to start an artwork. And don't second guess what to draw first, because you can draw whatever you want and you can always draw other things some other time. You can start on an idea and abandon it, or move onto the next idea. You can always come back to unfinished artworks. But you don't have to do that either. An unfinished work isn't a failure. It's just a memory

If you want to draw, just draw. It doesn't need to be more than that

shoutout to genuinely nice people, keep doing what you’re doing, the world needs you

Good news! You aren't required to make your hobbies and passions "marketable." In fact, your crafts, hobbies, and passions don't even need to be public if you so choose. You don't have to spend all of your energy becoming perfect if you aren't enjoying the process. You are not a product, you are a person, a creative, and your work also does not need to be a product.

to be perfectly honest. i don't care if it is cheesy or cliched or idealistic. i like stories where the core of it is about kindness, the warmth we can offer others and the gentleness we receive in return. maybe the moral of the story IS love triumphs. it better fucking be

knowing what you need to do ≠ the ability to do it

give yourself grace while you learn

be gentle with yourself when you are stuck

this is your reminder that your writing motivation will come back to you so don't even stress about it.

A Champion Time For The Heart Ch19 Battle Gym Leader Gordie

To say you were in a pretty grumpy mood would be an understatement. You were down right almost angry as you stomped off back towards where you just came from. You were tired. You were cold especially since you tripped over yourself and sat on the ground for a good ten minutes. And you were angry with what just happened. ..Well yeah. You suppose you were a bit out of line for suddenly blowing up on Gordie in front of everyone like that. After all that’s what their relationship was programmed to be back in the original game and interfering like you did might have caused you or them some trouble later. But if things persisted like this then it won’t matter in the long run since you’d be back home as soon as the main objective of Gloria or Victor becoming the next champion succeeded and so far things were….Well they weren’t going totally exactly as they did in the game since originally you’d only need to battle one battle in Circhester and Stow-on-Side then move on and Gloria’s been dead set on going after each one and of COURSE it’s a lot more hands on and real since this is an actual world now. But so far things were looking good with the progress you were seeing. Gloria had gotten almost all the gym badges thus far, most recently the Ice Type Gym Badge and Victor was currently working on his Rock type gym badge. Things with the rivals Hop and Bede were going as they had did in game, and you think with Marnie too. But you weren’t too entirely sure since you hadn’t seen her very often. Although her connection to Team Yell was making you concerned a bit. Speaking of which you hadn’t seen those guys either for a while now, but you took that as a good sign. Gloria seemed to be making great progress on finishing this world’s version of the Curry and Poke Dexes. Sonia’s making more breakthroughs. Victor has been pretty chill throughout this entire thing as well despite his lack of enthusiasm to compete. Not to mention you must’ve done at least all the side quests by now. With the progress being made at this speed you might even be home by the end of the year! Perfect! This was all working out greatly! Although you were a bit frustrated it would be taking so long. As you were walking back towards the cafe you unsurprisingly ran back into Gloria on her way over to meet up with you as the sun was setting making everything around you darker and colder.

With a brighter calmer smiled on her face and a camera around her neck that she gladly held up to you. “Y/n! I found it!”

"Where The Heart Is"

A story where you start to actively pay attention to the specific brand of weird Hassel throws your way.

I admit, I didn't finish most of the friendship quests because I WANT MORE OF HIM, WHY DO CHARACTERS JUST DISAPPEAR/BECOME GENERIC NPCS WHEN THEY'RE DONE BEING IN THE STORY?? I want to truly engross myself in his backstory, so I'll be taking things slow. Don't mind me, just dragging out the inevitable </3

I WILL be taking advantage of his rematches, thank you very much.

ALSO this takes place three years after the end of the game so your expy has time to be hired and get to know Hassel, you work as one of the academy librarians!

Tone/Ending: Slightly Angsty At Parts, Wholesome, Romantic

Warnings: If you're sensitive to rough family situations, be warned! Hassel is very firm with no longer associating with his family and it's hinted at that his childhood wasn't the best, but the story doesn't dwell on that yet, I'm exploring that more later

Also, beware the movie and Hassel's painting sections, especially if the Iron Giant makes you sad
