The Tormented

The following art contains spoilers from the book.

Since I've had the time, I've been going through my own personal shit to do with mental health - the aftermath of my childhood SA, for a start, and what thought patterns and beliefs I could unlearn from them. Won't go too much into it, but damn there's been a lot to unravel recently...

In the meantime, I've been having several dreams involving a certain Mr. Neil Gaiman - a naïvely placed favourite of mine. And in short, I just want to say;

Everything about him makes me deeply uncomfortable now especially considering what I've pushed away and not dealt with for so long.

It might seem like I'm making it personal but there are thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of women and girls in the world who go through this awful fucking shit on a daily basis and I've just about had enough of it.

You might be pleased to know I screamed and yelled and fucking got every last little thing out that I had to. I'm proud dream me had the courage to stand up to such a disgusting man, even if it was in my head. Nobody, but nobody should be put through the shit he's pulled. And damn it was cathartic even in my subconscious to completely destroy him. It felt like a little bit of closure for me at least. Then the news that's come out about his NDAs??? Suing people?? Honestly just choke.

I'd be okay with it if she was just here for the vibes tbh. This is totally what I'd be like if my neighbour was abducted one day.

"have fun hunny xo 💅👋"

I don't know why Mrs Flood just likes to live next door to companions and (awkardly, forcably) wish them well. But honestly kinda dope of her

Maybe she isn't actually anything in the story but just an ever present creature that's just here now cause it's fun

I've remembered why I love Tumblr compared to other social media. It's so... Liminal. My little computer friends could be anywhere in the world, or nowhere, so they'll be inundated with the most intimate details about me, and the odd hyper-fixation.

So follow for more of that, I guess??

um... excuse me. Did Richard understand, or like did he go back and realise what Francis said or what.

Is he dumb? Cause I could see that...

or is Francis just horny in several obscure languages

‘Wait.’ His voice was cool and Bostonian, almost British. I turned around. ‘Are you the new neanias?’, he said mockingly.

The new young man. I said that I was.

‘Cubitum eamus?’

‘What?’

‘Nothing.’

Finally reading the secret history... and I have thoughts 🧠✒️🐇🗡️

(Nobody mentions Bunny eating other people's food. Does it make me weird that that's the point I really started to dislike him. )

genuine message to 13 y/o me. Though puberty is a bitch

reminder to self: life is rarely as serious as we make it out to be

Am I actually getting over my mental health stuff, or is Doctor Who actually fun again? Like genuinely joyful. Took itself seriously there for a second and it didn't gel with me a lot of the time. I just want to galavant across the universe with a goofball. Whilst occasionally having deep, traumatic shit thrown in.

Every time Ncuti is on screen I just feel like 💅💃🪩 Slay queen 👑 no notes.

Belinda is also super fun so far.

Okay but since it's canon that Bunny is dyslexic I have a headcanon that he totally mispronounced greek words for years till he heard Henry, then he pretended like he knew what he was saying the whole time. Bitch is only there through force of character.
