Guys this is very important

Okay so I’m sure you’ve all heard of the quiet place project. Well if not I am going to tell you because it has stopped me from doing serious damage more than once. 

So part one, you’ve got the comfort spot 

This gem right here is where you can literally create a 100% anonymous username and just absolutely spill your guts. Then people can read it and give you advice, and it honestly is so helpful. Because the other people on it are in the same situations as you, and they understand. You can comment and give advice on other peoples posts too, and it’s just really great. 

Number 2 is the thoughts room. 

This little beauty is similar to the comfort spot. Except instead of posting your thoughts, you type them into the box and then when you press enter they disappear and turn into stars against the blue sky. There is a whole bunch of different languages to choose from at the start, so if English is not your first language then you can probably find it here. There is the most comforting music that plays in the background as well, which is so great. 

Next we got the quiet room 

Which is so good for panic related things because it silences all of your other tabs and when you make it full screen it talks to you very calmly and then literally forces you stop for just 30 seconds and do nothing and just breathe. 

Okay, so this is my actual favourite, it’s called the dawn room

The dawn room is so great for stopping you from self harming. It begins by telling you that its going to be alright, then it asks you to write something about someone you love. After that messages from other people, just like you, appear on the screen, one after the other, and the background slowly become brighter and happier. This page has genuinely stopped me from hurting myself more times than I can count. I’m not suggesting that it will work for everyone, but it is an absolute gem. 

Finally, there is a page called It will be okay

This page runs for about 5 minutes, and it is basically a typing simulator that tries to convince you that everything is going to be alright. It is very calming, and good for lonely times.

I can honestly say that this website has done me so so much good. I appreciate it with every bit of my being.

Sigyn

(please don’t reblog and delete my caption. If it ruins the aesthetic of your blog then find something else to post)

This piece was originally an inktober prompt, but I’ve fixed it up! This is available as a print or as part of my inktober calendar on my redbubble.

Sigyn is the wife of the Norse god Loki and is dutifully stays with her husband in his torment, catching the venom that drips from an enormous serpent in the cave where he is chained. It is said that when Sigyn pauses to empty her bowl and the poison drips onto Loki’s face, his writhing causes earthquakes.

Sigyn is an amazing figure. Sigyn is steadfast duty in the face of hardship, and bone-deep strength under the weight of grief.

Sigyn represents the strength to bear the weight of suffering and keep going, obviously, BUT it’s important to never ever forget her second lesson:

Sometimes you need to empty your bowl. Sometimes you also need to say enough is enough.

In Norse mythology, it is said that the world will end one day when Loki breaks free of his chains and starts Ragnarok, the final battle between the gods that will destroy everything.
