Reorganizing !!

@virotini

I'm reorganizing my blog rn, so sorry for the mess !!

A few months back, I read about a study that found that people who were told to regularly think about things they’re grateful for reported significantly improved physical and mental well-being at the end of the study. So I started going for a walk every day before work and making myself come up with 5 things that I’m grateful for. And I know it sounds like the most cornball shit ever, but it has fundamentally changed my brain chemistry.

I was aware that I was becoming a little bit too much of a sarcastic little hater before I started this experiment. Now I am almost startled to catch myself saying shit like, “Wow, look at the flowers on that tree, I am so grateful I decided to walk this way,” unironically, completely unprompted, and outside of the specific time in the day when I do the gratitude practice. I’ve rewired my brain to look for things to be grateful for, and so I look around me more and find more of them, which makes me feel happier, which makes me find even more good things.

For the record, I’m not saying, “Only think positive thoughts! No bad vibes!” Toxic positivity is probably about as unhealthy as only thinking negative thoughts. Sometimes shit does just suck. I’m not telling you to be grateful for the bad things around you. Being a sarcastic little hater definitely has its place. But setting aside like 2 minutes per day to come up with 5 things you’re grateful for will genuinely improve your outlook. It doesn’t have to be big stuff—sometimes the best I can manage is simple shit like, “I’m grateful that zippers were invented,” but even that forces me to be in the present moment and deepens my appreciation of the world around me. Try it, even if you have to do it badly or sarcastically at first. Even if you only do it so that you can come back and tell me I’m wrong in 3 months. Set a daily alarm on your phone and give it a try.

“i can fix him” says man who is worse

That only applies to the tiny ones on land. The deep sea ones, which are that big, absolutely taste like crab or lobster and are in fact fished in some places. Apparently they also sometimes just get caught in lobster traps; they aren't necessarily restricted to the abyss!

Daily fish fact #347

Stoplight loosejaw!

They’re able to produce red bioluminescence, the only fishes to be able to do so! Because red is the first colour that gets absorbed into water, deep sea fish tend to not be able to see red light. The red l bioluminescence therefore gives the stoplight loosejaws a light to hunt with that only they can see!

the idea that your friends won't like you if you're too weird is wrong you just need better friends for example one time I told a friend whenever I was losing my mind I laid down on the floor under my desk and stared at it until I was better and next time she visited me she taped a bag of salami snacks to the underside of my desk with a message saying "going insane all by yourself, handsome?" which I only saw months later when I had a breakdown. that's friendship.

im rereading the reigen spinoff and god tome really is the adhd weird girl of all time

I am SO excited to finally be able to share the Serizawa animatic I've been working on throughout March!! His character means a lot to me, and I wanted to do something nice for his birthday. I hope you all enjoy!

I made Reigen's business card for cosplay reasons, but then I went and made everyone else's cards! :D

Ekubo gets both of his names:

Some "unofficial" employees, aka the extra help:

Feel free to use these for whatever reasons, I don't care :)
