#brain talk

Ryo absent mindedly picks at his scabs on his scalp while doing stuff. He has definitely hopped in the shower, more then once, after picking and has gotten used to the stinging that come from said bad decisions I think he just doesn't care at this point

me: I really wanna write today. Like, honestly I have such a burning desire to just write something out right now.

(have some more projection) Ryo is actually pretty scared and paranoid of the dark, he often has to text Akira about it to help keep him grounded in reality but it usually ends with Akira just coming over and cuddling with him to make him feel safe

since we're all projecting onto ryo I'd like to propose: cheek biting. he is forced to gargle peroxide bc its so bad. He sometimes draws enough blood to taste and que the Not Right feeling from death. Akira carries gum and lollipops to shove in his mouth when he sees him chewing.

Ryo probably paints his nails so he has something to fixate and pick before he picks his skin. The nail polish usually doesn't last a day but it gives his skin a brief reprieve from the picking.
