So, new pinned tweet. If you want to know about my books, feel free to say in the replies whether you'd rather hear about faeries, witches, or the rise of dark lords (or the surprise spies, or the sci-fi Shakespeare).
@theemrhammer Me: I'm not trying to say that I'm mad at you for having better coping mechanisms!
Her: I know! And I'm not trying to say my reaction makes more sense than yours!
Me: Well it's sure a lot handier, but I don't think I can learn your sorcery.
Her: I wish I could teach it.

@theemrhammer Well, now I'm reminded of a conversation with my not-mentally-ill sister about some issues we both faced and how they didn't really bother her that much.

@theemrhammer Hard to say, because I do have clinical depression and anxiety, but I think that greater exposure to the world's nonsense might, of late, be taking depression and anxiety to clinical levels in people who might otherwise not have needed that much mental health care.
@LicenceToMock ::Fistbumps in 'Kristoff Vernard von Doom disowns his father':::: Granted, in my case, it was an out of nowhere /healthy/ behavior by my fave, but still nonsensical stuff.
@Ms_Wire In my case, even if the advice were correct, I'd have to 1. stop all the medicine that mitigates the worst of it in order to have a healthy pregnancy. 2. pass on the genes to the baby, in some kind of It Follows / The Ring type nastiness.
@mowochi I had some fun with something kind of like this in a weird fic of mine. Including someone calling him out for talking about the protagonist of the better book as inferior to Luo Binghe. "Look, Luo Binghe is a protagonist's protagonist; it's no insult to Hou Dajian not to be him"
@LicenceToMock Even as not much of a DC person, I understand. It's like how I'll always ship Janet/Paladin, because the divorcee years, with a casual relationship that wasn't the focus of her life, were when i feel she came into her own.
