It's been a while!!! (≧▽≦)

Watching old Disney movie and somehow thinking, Naru will look good using that...

on the validity of recognizing emotions

Made it in time! Happy Halloween! Featuring Wilbur, the "ugly cat" (who's like the cutest thing ever!)

Mai: Let's at least dress Wilbur up since we didn't throw a Halloween party!

Naru: ... He really doesn't need to work hard.

FAMILIAR KEEPSAKES

a ghost hunt zine

It’s finally here!! Take a look at Familiar Keepsakes, our fandom’s collaborative zine! With the theme of ‘Family,’ we wish to impart how much Ghost Hunt has brought us all together to make one big ole family, just as how the SPR gang has formed lifelong ties with each other 💖

We apologize for the wait, though it’s always better late than never, right? 😁 Consider this as a special treat just for you. (Happy Halloween!)

Thank you very very much to our contributors! Please send your love over to them! @csakuras​ ​ @willtart​​ @flychansan​​ @atalieaoi​​ @thisurlplease​​ @vzyfny​ @crazydcchick​​ @radiowrites​​ @eyeliner-vampire​​

Thank you also to our wonderful editorial board! @rmnitb​​ @tiffotcf​​ @books-tea-ghosts​​ @puff-the-evil-dragon​​ @samantha-girlscout​​

A short note on the files:

1. The [reading copy] is meant to be read digitally. The pages have been ordered so as to emulate the appearance of a zine, but please do not print this. 2. The [printing copy] has been set for back-to-back printing on A4 paper. If you do not have a border-less printing feature on your printer, scale the file down to 90~95% so that nothing will be cut out. If you need help with this, message @rmnitb​​  2a. After printing the zine, you can bind it using several methods. You may find tutorials online.

Lastly, thank you for your support! Let’s collab again and make more zines together soon~

It’s heeeere!! I’m so excited to show everyone the product of our contributors’ and the editorial board’s hard work!! It’s definitely a unique experience to collaborate on a project with people who are from the same fandom and who love the same characters ❤️

thank you to everyone who put this together! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧

Hey there! This is going to be a SPOILER chapter-by-chapter summary of Beneath the Lilac Tree by ArchangelBBQ. This was made for people like me who have a terrible memory, as a quick reminder of important elements in each chapter so that we’re not scrambling to re-read whenever there is an update.

If you’re not into that, please keep scrolling. If you haven’t read BTLT, do yourself a favor.

Que trigger warnings for death, suicide, and sexual assault.

Spoiler summary beyond the cut.

To all the Writers Suffering from Depression

It’s okay. Your desire to write will return. Your desire to do other things you love will come back, too. You’re not weak. You’re just having a hard time right now. Try not to add self-judgment on top of everything else. Depression is hard enough without blaming yourself for it.

We (in the US specifically) live in a productivity-obsessed, emotion-phobic culture which blames individuals for “failing” when they are anything but hyper-productive and relentlessly optimistic. This cultural narrative so pervasive that it’s difficult to see the high standards we set for ourselves for what they really are: Complete and total bullshit.

Despite the rampant cultural garbage that teaches us to interpret emotional ups and downs as an aberration, MANY writers and artists (and people in general!) struggle with depression and other mood “disorders.” It is not uncommon for us, among other things, to go through periods of hyperactivity followed by depressive episodes in which we get very little accomplished. I am not saying you shouldn’t try to alleviate your depression or work to find ways to minimize your suffering in the short or long term. I’m just saying there’s nothing wrong with you, and you aren’t alone.

I’m going to say that again:

If you’re having a hard time writing or enjoying writing right now because you’re depressed, you aren’t alone.

I wish I had some kind of magical answer. I don’t. But I do know that accepting your depression and loving yourself anyway beats the hell out of berating yourself for feeling like this. So, with that in mind, this might be all I have to offer:

I think you’re doing a great job. I’m sorry you feel like shit. I’m on your side whether you’re writing or not; whether you feel good or not; whether you’re being “productive” or not; whether you wanted to get out of bed this morning or not. You’re still a writer to me, even if you’re not writing right now. You don’t have to prove yourself to me or anyone else. I love you, and I hope you feel better soon.

「分岐」 日常から、一歩踏み出す。

I’ve been having a really bad feeling about some things happening in my personal life as of recently and when I was writing about it this morning (I keep this stream-of-consciousnesses type of a journal) these two “messages” came through. I’m posting them here if this is something you need to hear today as well :)

Cosmic wave series so far.

Brightest of days.
