Peeling Bananas

Keep using your brain and trying that hard thing no matter how foggy. Feel stupid! It's ok! I promise you are not stupid. I promise your brain will appreciate it. And that with time it will be valuable that you tried.

It's so easy to lose a whole week to brain fog. But your brain and body don't just stop existing that week (though it can feel that way). It's so important to try to incorporate puzzles anyway. Cook a meal from a scratch, do a jigsaw, the wordle, sudoku, use your other hand, learn a new card game, watch a brand new show, do simple math equations, write words backwards, learn a new language (or even just random phrases from a few), play a podcast, read a fun article or magazine, try a new creative project. Something! To help you feel better longer and keep your brains synapses synapsing.

Find a way to push yourself into it. Ask a friend to do it with you, set a timer, build it into your routine, have a bunch of fun games on your phone, puzzles by the bed, set your google to open straight to wordle.

TO CLARIFY: neuroplasticity is magic. And CONTRARY to prior belief it does not just stop after like 25. The brain can recover in exceptional ways so if you feel behind, or feel like you lost so much of what you knew due to a deep spell of illness or depression or injury; it's never too late. Never too late to nuture your brain to a better state of health.

theres definitely someone out there who has shared thoughts like this but, I think Ace's design r really damn good, his outfit covering his entire skin save for his hands and face is a really good foreshadowing on how you don't actually know jackshit about him, this guy is hiding secrets.

you thought he's just a fashionable ojisan but no this guy is wearing his foreshadowing outfit rn.

not to mention how Ace is the only person who, if you're not paying much attention, doesnt look like a participant of the Nonary game due to his sleeves covering his bracelet. The only time you get to see it is during mandatory scan cg and this, erotic specific cg, the cg where he's being exposed. It's almost as if,, his bracelet is like his weak point,,, or secret,,, OR his real persona seeping through,, IDK I js think it's fun to see more into his design but this specific thing about his bracelet rlly intrigues me.

this is probably the most deranged thing ive ever made. whateverrr. hello zero escape fandom. look at my unhinged terrible doomed yaoi slop

I was inspired by @39mice's Dio appreciation collage but ummm I think I got a bit carried away LMAOOO. look some of these are really good I just couldnt choose.

any emotional whiplash you might experience looking at this is fully intentional. my humble hope was to encapsulate the experience of enjoying this ship. is it unserious and ironic? yes! is it genuine and interesting to consider that even someone as terrible as Hongou was capable of feeling affection for someone? also yes!
