I literally cannot overstate how important creative hobbies are when dealing with mental illness. If you can’t draw, there are coloring books. If you can’t write a novel, you can write in short journaling bursts. If you can’t sing in the shower, you can listen to music. Sometimes with mental illness it feels like we have this dark presence inside of us that is bumping around in our brain and organs, causing problems. It helps immensely to let it out.
thinking of this today
I love loving multiple things because people on tumblr will see like a Hannibal post, but oh wait, don’t let your guard down! House MD post. Oh wait no look out it’s Falsettos! Too sad? Here’s SpongeBob SquarePants. Too goofy? Gravity Falls beam!!!!!1!!!!!!1!!!!!!
Don’t let them know ur next move
Thinking about how the lyric “Learning love is not a crime” from Falsettoland/It’s About Time has a double meaning.
It means Marvin accepting his sexuality: learning that the way he loves men is not wrong within itself. That’s something he struggled with for the whole trilogy up until this point.
I also think it means that learning how to love isn’t a bad thing either. Marvin is in his 30s or 40s, and he’s only starting to have stable and mostly healthy relationships during Falsettos Act 2. It shows that learning how to love healthily can start at any age.
God I love Marvin’s development.
Imagine getting a cat from an animal shelter and deciding to pick the very sweet and gentle one who hasn't made a single sound the whole time you're there, and being told "yeah she doesn't meow like other cats do", and then when you say "oh it's ok, I don't mind a cat who isn't very vocal!" the shelter's people look at you like they're about to say something but decide against it.
And then you bring your kitty home and the first time she wants your attention, she opens her mouth and the sound that comes out is a low, soothing but abnormally long continuous tune that you can only describe as something between mongolian throat singing and a didgeridoo.
ao3 is crazy because you'll read the most gut-wrenching 200k word slowburn that leaves you sobbing into your sweater at four in the morning and the author will be applejacksmonstercock
