A scene in Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill. The slime character named Sui is partly melted due to the sand. He is on the ground, with steam coming out of the top of his body. The caption says Huh? What? In response to a question from his owner Mukouda, asking Sui if he's ok.

When someone tells me their weather is hot and they say it's only 25C...

when I am experiencing 37C weather...

Rainy evening, and
Hot ramen, warm and comfy,
A perfect evening.

This is my first attempt at writing with a more romantic, nervous voice. This helped me with overcoming my writer's block.

Please be kind to me πŸ˜…

This silence feels weird.
After weeks of endless noise,
Part reprieve, part sigh..

Frozen in this bed.

Extra low energy today...

Can't even eat properly. I tried to eat chicken with rice but I just ended up taking two bites and I felt full...

I bought a chocolate bun and I only ate half...

I'm not ok, I think.

I'm still furiously writing in the background..

It's just that sometimes the memories take over, and the results come out too raw and personal to post here without refinements.

It takes a lot of mental power just to not let the voices take over, but sometimes, it wins...

A scene in the anime Campfire Cooking In Another World With My Absurd Skill. Mukouda, the human, is ordering food for his three familiars, Dora-chan (pixie dragon), Sui (slime), and Fel (Fenrir). All three familiars are staring at Mukouda's Online Shop skill screen while he orders food, while they're drooling with excitement and hunger.

Twilight Flower

I choose the present,
The evening a shroud,
My shroudβ€”not bent.

I choose my tears,
My dusk is glowing,
My gemsβ€”no fears.

I choose to
Embrace my star.
This twilight petalβ€”

It folds with me.

Twilight Flower I choose the present, The evening a shroud, My shroudβ€”not bent. I choose my tears, My dusk is glowing, My gemsβ€”no fears. I choose to Embrace my star. This twilight petalβ€” It folds with me.

I'll dance within the night
If it means
I get to keep
This Twilight Flower.

I've enumerated my CPTSD triggers, and I've narrowed it down to the following:

-the color blue, especially characters with blue hair
-streaming and Vtuber related things
-the Steam app
-pink things and boba
-being held or touched

I'll be fine... πŸ₯²

It's probably noticeable in my works that I have referenced the word Blue a lot.

There is a reason for this.

Blue was someone who was dear to me until he hurt me a lot, twisted the knife further, and acted as if he didn't do anything wrong...

He's my trigger, my ghost.
