Her complete occupation with the bowl and the poison — and Her failure to completely avoid the situation’s evil and pain — speaks less to Sigyn’s weakness and more to the combined power of Odhinn and Skadhi, who laid this curse upon Loki together. It is a force so grave that even the Incantation-Fetter cannot avoid it — She must devote Her whole attention to steer it aside, and then only for a time. And in this process, She knows the suffering of those She protects. – Ljot Lokadis

You can’t fix yourself, so don’t you dare try to fix someone else. People are not projects. Your words will not cure her depression. Your friendship will not erase his anxiety. Their brokenness is not your opportunity to show off how warm and kind you are. You are not an architect, only a visitor to their house. Come to them on their ground level, love them at their foundations, but do not try to renovate them. Leave your pride out of this.
Something running through my mind last night. (via nonelesstherestless)
I begin with You, Sweet Sigyn, Lady of Loyalty, Delight of Loki’s Hall
I hail You always, Lady of Unyielding Gentleness, Lady of the Staying Power;

Hail to Sigyn, devoted Mother
Hail to Sigyn, who holds all things in Her heart

help I’m having emotions about a cartoon antidepressant trying to be useful
DID YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY GIF AN ABILIFY COMMERCIAL
yes but look at it, it cares about her and just wants to help her be able to function. It’s like “I know you’re sad. here, I’ll help you.”
LIKE OKAY THOUGH can I explain why this is exceedingly brilliant?? Because when anti-depressants work right, that’s what they DO. They don’t make you happy or emotionless or unhealthy in any way, they make you FUNCTIONAL. They make it so that a depressed person who can barely get out of bed can start to support themselves again and more importantly, start to THINK for themselves again without the permeating presence of depression.
Depression is a cyclical disease, that tells you to think a certain way, and, because you’re depressed, you generally believe it, and then things get worse and worse. The ONLY thing anti-depressants do is to STOP that cycle in its tracks!! Which is something to be ecstatic about and celebrated, even if you don’t realize it at the time, because when you’re depressed, getting out of bed is climbing Mount Everest. Antidepressants help stop that cycle so that one day soon, getting out of bed can JUST be getting out of bed. They don’t even expedite the recovery process in most cases, they just make recovery POSSIBLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. So this little guy is portrayed with a fuckton more accuracy than I ever expected from a commercial.
It’s back and adorable
on a side note, I really dig the art style here
WHO COULD HAVE GUESSED THAT STRESSING OUT A GROUP OF MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE, MAKING THEM JUMP THROUGH A LOAD OF HOOPS TO GET THE BASIC MINIMUM OF SUPPORT, AND THREATEN TO STOP THEIR BENEFITS AND THEREFORE STARVE THEM – IS BAD FOR THEIR MENTAL HEALTH?!
“According to Mind, 83% of people they surveyed said using the programme and the government’s job centre services had made their mental health worse.
Three quarters of those polled said they felt less able to work as a result of being on these schemes, the charity said.
At the same time, the schemes were ineffective for people with mental health problems, as only 5% of people had been helped into work, campaigners claimed.”

Yeah, that kind of thing is stupid and never works well. Threatening people doesn’t help them get better.
