Yield not to darkness nor wrath. Have courage, my dearest Marie.

While Marsha's choice to repurpose the idea of "chivalry" for her role as a medic primarily represents how WWI led to the birth of many humanitarian organisations, and also the disillusionment from violence that drove many to support such causes instead, it's also nice to look at in context of her saintlike image. There are plenty of royal and military saints from medieval times, memorialised in legends, yet such canonisations waned over time; among modern saints, one is much more likely to find people who had dedicated their lives to humanitarian ends.

the best analogy imo for ocd is mosquito bite. its so itchy its driving you crazy and you know scratching it will make it itch so much worse later but you need it to stop right now and scratching it feels so good and even when you dont want to scratch it and you feel like you could handle the itch you cant even stop your hand from scratching the second you stop focusing on not scratching. except ☝️ what if it was inside your brain and instead of an itch it was terrifying overwhelming distress

Anonymous asked:
someone at my school has a shirt that says “i’m a suicide survivor.” then the shirt has a description that says they knew someone who committed suicide, not that the wearer attempted. why do people who know suicidal people always make it about themselves
That's awful. You didn't "survive suicide" because you know someone who committed. You survive suicide when you attempted and survived. I hate that people make suicide about themselves and take our terms away.

it’s okay to not like father’s day.
it’s okay to have mixed feelings.
it’s okay to be sad.
it’s okay to be angry.
it’s okay to feel like father’s day is difficult.
it’s okay to feel what you feel whether your dad has passed away, he abandoned you, he abused you, etc.
please get through the day safe and as alright as possible.

Resurrection : A Poem
Meadows choking on wildflowers,
Bees addled on honey..
Spring is the cruelest season of them all :
A few things finished, a lot undone.
Tell me Mary, our lady of sorrows -
Did you know your son would die on such a good Friday?
Did you see it in his eyes, the last of his smile,
Before he died for a mankind,
The kind that makes commodity out of kindness?
Now, I know the father can look away,
He always has, there's nothing to say,
But the mother's grief becomes the last nail.
So come on down, Mary's son,
We shall count men and their monsters.
Till you fall asleep on earth : your mother,
And we dig up your bones the year after.

Vertin hcs (Some of them are collected from my friends, some are mine, and some are based off of information we get in the game)
- She is 100% a girlkisser, either bi and ace with a heavy preference for girls or a lesbian and ace (This is kinda canon cuz she kissed with Schneider and also the old man narrator in one of the paths tells her to get it with the girls, before including pretty much all groups of people.)
- She definitely has the most diabolical pjs. Like, the most atrocious garments you will ever lay your eyes upon. It's just sleepwear, she don't gaf. Me and my friend were kinda brainstorming and she proposed the idea, which I agreed with before specifically mentioning the fih shirt. Now this is kinda crack as idk how she'd get her hands on it but it's funny af
- Speaking of clothing, I think she wouldn't mind wearing dresses despite dressing in a masculine way, she'd enjoy dressing up every once in a blue moon. She doesn't really have much of a personal taste, her wardrobe is mostly picked by Sonetto, Madam Z and X. Regulus might give a lil hand too.
- She sees X as a lil brother, they're THE siblinghood
- She's awful at taking compliments, and they often fly over her head. She also has a very dry sense of humour and a lot of people don't realise she's joking cuz she delivers everything with a straight face.
- That's pretty canon tbh, but despite her strong sense of justice part of the reason she's so quiet is because of repression from her trauma. She 100% blames herself for what happened to her classmates and avoids stepping out of line too much as to not have that happen again.
- All oranges taste bitter to her, even if they taste sweet to everyone else.
- She probably had a lot of issues with eating after the events of chapter 4. She was pretty much just injected with stuff to keep her alive, and the digestive system will atrophy if not used for a long time. (Vertin was asleep for 4 months, according to Druvis and Sotheby) Note: if someone could tell me how long the digestive system takes to atrop
- School lunches were so awful she could probably eat anything cuz her taste buds are shot to shit.
- She's a short queen, but Sonetto is shorter and among the three shorties Matilda is the tallest
- She likes her tea bland
- She has a bit of a sweet tooth but won't satisfy it unless someone offers her a sweet.
- Her favourite fruits are apples.

Little Orange Bottles (2)
They line the nightstand like a quiet army plastic soldiers with white caps childproof like I'm the danger
My name printed wrong again or maybe it's right and I'm the one that keeps changing
Morning is a ritual now shake, rattle, swallow don't ask questions don't look too long at the label because the label knows more about me than I do
Side effects read like a confession may cause shaking may cause silence may cause you to forget what you used to feel like before everything needed fixing
I carry them in my pocket sometimes little orange bottles clicking together when I walk like they're talking about me like they're saying keep him steady keep him small keep him here
And I do feel different but different isn't always better it's just quieter like someone turned the volume down on the worst parts of me and accidentally dimmed the rest
Still I open them every morning every night
Because there's a version of me somewhere in the fine print that survives this
And maybe that's enough to keep swallowing hope in measured doses two times daily
