The remorseful player
Here’s your mid-week reminder to forgive yourself if you’ve had a crappy/tired/unproductive day/week/month/year. You are doing the best you can. Look after yourself, do what you need to do. And it doesn’t matter what time of day/week/month/year it is, it’s never too late to make a fresh start.
gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.
may i get more sans chronic pain headcanon lore pls
Absolutely!!!
Sans has chronic pain because his SOUL is weaker than normal and has to work harder to keep him up and about, due to the way he was created (Read here for context on that). Since monsters are made of magic, and their SOULs create that magic to keep them physical and healthy, a SOUL that creates less or weaker magic leads to a monster with less physical strength, or in severe cases like Sans, general chronic pain.
If/when he overexerts himself (which is easy for him to do, since his tolerance threshold for exercise and just general exertion is lower than most monsters) the pain gets worse, as the SOULs sort of self-regulation tactic to get him to stop doing that so it can recuperate. Essentially, when he does anything that's too strenuous, his SOUL downs him so that it can rebuild its magic stores again. He can push through that pain if he needs to, but if he does it'll be twice as bad afterwards, and he'll take twice as long to recover.
Ironically, teleporting takes less magical exertion for him than walking long distances does, which is why he likes to use his shortcuts to get most places. (Teleporting is easy for him because he's very practiced in it, and doesn't take a lot of magical energy unless he's going really far, versus walking, which takes the energy of moving all his limbs and joints and his equivalent of breathing and heart rate etc etc; essentially, walking is a lot more moving parts compared to just 'taking a shortcut')
He also gets migraines because he has really awful vision in his right eye; He can only see light and movement in that eye, which puts strain on his brain (does he have a brain?? Whatever the skeleton magical equivalent is) that leads to migraines. Could probably be mitigated if he wore an eyepatch or sunglasses or something but he's got an issue with trying to present like he's 'normal' because he doesn't want people to perceive his weaknesses and possibly take advantage of them (he has a general distrust for most people).
Similarly, he would probably benefit from a wheelchair or similar mobility aids, but since Papyrus just carries him around most of the time why bother. (plus, then, it's seen as more of a cute sibling dynamic rather than dealing with pitying glances from strangers)
Papyrus also has pain & vision issues, also because of the way he was created, but not as bad as Sans, and he deals with it differently. But that's a topic for a different post! (here's Papyrus Vision too though, since I made it anyway)
I hope you enjoyed this little ramble! I had fun writing it! Feel free to send in more questions if you have any :)
joke from whenever toby clarified he had to add save points to chapter 4 light world segment
Here’s the thing about being productive: it’s not just about checking boxes and crossing off to-do lists. It’s about navigating life and learning how to work with yourself, not against yourself.
Don’t stay in your room 3 days in a row. Just don’t. Get some air, see the sun, touch grass—anything!
If stress shuts you down, don’t drink coffee. Seriously, it makes things worse. Trust me on this one.
Talk to a friend and work together. Sure, maybe you’ll chat all day and not stay 100% focused, but those conversations keep you motivated and positive in the long run.
Talk to your supervisor about your struggles. They’re there to help, even if it’s hard to ask.
Reach out to people who don’t include you in their group. Maybe they’re not being mean—maybe they’re just scared or unsure because you’re different from them. Don’t let assumptions keep you from trying.
Don’t over-schedule your day. Small, consistent steps every day are way better than big, scattered bursts of productivity.
Celebrate wins. Treat yourself. Go to that bookshop you’ve been eyeing. You’ve earned it.
Forgive people. It’s tough in the immediate aftermath, and honestly, I never thought I’d be the forgiving type. But when you step away from the situation, you’ll realize forgiveness isn’t for them—it’s for you and your mental health.
Take a few minutes every day to reflect on your mental health and journal. It’s not a waste of time, I promise.
Don’t break good habits on a whim. It takes forever to rebuild them. Whether it’s going to bed early or reading for 30 minutes a day, stick with it.
Follow the system that works for you. Don’t overrule it just because you’re tempted to. Getting back on track after derailing yourself is painful.
Oh, and stop comparing yourself to your more successful peers. (Still working on this one myself, but hey, baby steps!)
also take ur meds and excercise at least 3 times a week... otherwise u will crumble and u wont even see it coming...
Don't berate urself ... come on.. it doesn't work... work on eliminating that negative voice in ur head... ( I am still working on it)
My eating disorder is alright now... I dont force myself to eat anymore and just let my body decide when it needs food... I have been getting hungry so thats a good sign...
This challenge wasn’t easy, but it taught me so much about patience, resilience, and the importance of showing up for myself. I hope these tips help you in your journey, whether you’re just starting or somewhere in the middle.
Also I just want to say, I love u all... I really do... u guys r so sweet and encouraging... I am so glad I found this community😘😘
So firstly, I would like to say
FUCK U UK SUPREME COURT
YOU PIECES OF ABSITE FUCKING SHIT
WTF ARE YOU DOING
For those of you who don’t know what im talking about,
So basically
you might not have heard of the UK Supreme Court decision stating that trans women are not women under the Equality act, which effectively sets the UK 50 years back in terms of queer progression. They stated that a woman is based on their biological sex, which rules out transgenderism in general.
This is a dire effect not just on trans women, but British women and queers. If you are a British citizen, please sign this petition to appeal this ruling and fight for equality, and if not, please share with others. Thank you.
And for those of you who arent British citizens,
You can still share this post
