hey hi hello! this is the den of a goblin by name of socket, or a human by name of joey, who may or may not be several dorky arcanists in a trenchcoat
(i can also be found as oddsocket on bsky)
within this den lies an eclectic jumble of fandomposting, wizard appreciation, tabletop and OC yelling, posts that otherwise resonated with me, pretty art, and....just me scrawling on the walls, really (which is to say you will be subjected to my stream of consciousness; i do a lot of introspection and parts work on main, and i also have never been normal about my blorbos or my interests in my life and don't intend to start.) there will be the occasional nsfw post, it keeps the ecosystem healthy.
i draw creachers, monsters, original characters, assorted fanart and a whole lot of pokemon over on my artblog, @electrical-socket ! my tabletop blog is @dark-nat-ones-blessing !
#the my art tag - for when i've drawn things! (i post wips and doodles here that don't always make it to my artblog)
#socket talks - my assorted ramblings, musings, journallings and Original Words
#socketface - my arguably human visage
#socket's ocs - catchall tag for OC text posts and art.
#do people still say gpoy - posts that reflect who i am as a person lmao
character-specific tags and other regular tags under the cut!

okay okay so listen, i'm not plural but not not plural. it's complicated. i do a lot of parts work and i personify the fragments of myself a lot. sometimes a post will resonate with a specific part of me, and i'll tag it duly!

I love that Dungeon Meshi's creator is like "I based Senshi off this old dude in our building that won't stop doing his laundry in his underwear, he's weird."

Hey. Your brain needs to de-frag. Literally it needs you to sit there and space out.
If you want your memory or executive function to improve, stare out a window at the skyline or sidewalk or trees or birds on the electrical wires for like 20+ minutes per day. (With no other stimulation like a podcast or TV if you can manage but hey baby steps innit). If you're fortunate enough to have safe outside with any bits of nature, go stare closely at a 1 meter square of grass and trip out on the bugs and shapes of grasses and stuff.
Literally this will make you smarter. Our brains HAVE TO HAVE this zone out time to do important stuff behind the scenes. This does not happen during sleep, it's something else.
That weird pressurized feeling you get sometimes might be your brain on no defrag.
Also, if you don't take the time regularly, your brain will do it for you. Usually when you're already stressed and it gets to be too much. You will zone out. And you can not control it. So regular maintenance will help
practicing self care less out of self love and more for the sheer logical reasoning of it’d be kinda stupid of me to expect myself to be able to function without proper maintenance
“oh i don’t deserve rest and relaxation, i haven’t done enough, i haven’t earned it” and my car’s breaks don’t deserve break fluid because they aren’t breaking well enough to earn it. that’s what you sound like!!!!!

Hot take but praise is a good tool for encouraging healthy behavior. Positive reinforcement is good. Relying exclusively on punishment to change people's behavior is both cruel and ineffective. If someone does better than they did yesterday, let them know you appreciate it, let them know that they're improving!
"Don't praise anyone for doing the bare minimum" is a shitty take that prioritizes your sense of superiority over the actual betterment of people. I understand that things shouldn't be as bad as they are, and anger can often be justified, but you need to get over the propaganda that kindness is naïve, that cynicism and bitterness are intellectual. Withholding praise from those who haven't caught up with you doesnt actually help them, it doesn't motivate, it doesn't encourage, it only discourages them. It breeds bitterness and apathy, which are antithetical to empathy.
Growth isn't something you do on your own. People need support, they need community. Bootstraps won't get them there. Kindness will. Do you want results or do you just want to feel superior?
This isn't up for debate. We have the studies. Positive reinforcement is far & away the most successful method to not only change behavior but KEEP it changed long term. One of the most important things I learned for my psych degree.
Getting dumped really puts children's cartoon villains into perspective. Like dude you're SO right, love and caring ARE disgusting and we SHOULD cast a spell to drain all human emotion into your amulet.
*trying to flirt* haha i bet ur guts look soooo pretty i bet u have the greatest bones ever. ur beating heart would be so sexy to hold in my hands i would be so gentle with it. why are you running
