i’ve been really enjoying dropout content?
- dimension 20 is their actual play show, i would recommend the fantasy high: freshman year arc (that is on youtube!) or their dungeons and drag queens season (it’s also on youtube!)
- make some noise is their like improv-y grown up theatre kid show and they have full episodes on youtube
- game changers is a show where the structure of the game changes every episode? which is fun at least to me because it’s something new every time
- rewatching the harry potter series gives me something to watch and frequently gives me ideas of something more interesting to consume while i view it (not in a bad way!! i’ve just seen it so many times that it’s not like refreshing anymore it’s background noise lol)
- watching as many of the 90s/early 2000s shakespeare teen movie adaptations (shakespeare needle freak sorry), personal faves are she’s the man and romeo & juliet
- also just getting really into not necessarily a hobby but watching people do their hobby (binge watching people hand-make cards? or listening to someone explain everything you need to start needlefelting) so even though you don’t want to start that hobby you at least know a little bit more about it
- and finally just reading and rereading the perks of being a wallflower. the audiobook makes me sob everytime
i hope this helps and as someone who also grapples with needing an emotional support show/book/etc, even when you don’t feel like life is worth living it’s always worth it to wait around until it is again you know?

starting to watch more weekly released shows has really made me appreciate the format. it can be so gratifying to watch a lot of a show, and it’s also so special to see it as it rolls out and get to react to it with others. something i’ve been cherishing lately!

- The OA fans STILL campaigning for the show to be renewed & studying every episode
- calling in to the Thirst Aid Kit podcast to ramble about Henry Golding

1) i don’t need to be on the lookout for bugs. not my problem
2) it almost is like replicating the feeling of the womb?
3) i am just constantly so overstimulated so like instead having to Seek stimulation (via the shower water, reaching around for my shampoo and stuff) is really nice

yes i have a compliment journal HAHA
i am just so difficult on myself and whenever people compliment me i think they’re lying/just saying it to be kind
but i’ve been writing them down lately in a journal i have to celebrate that even if they are Lying (which people never are btw and i’m working on believing that) they at least took the time to notice u to formulate this compliment
holding space for being noticed and allowing yourself to be appreciated!
