hi, how do you keep yourself from worrying about things happening in spn that would upset you :/?
Uh…such as? I’ve distanced myself so far from them, the things I’m worried about don’t even come up instinctually in response to this. Do you mean like, unrepaired #queerbaiting? Unresolved #codependency? #Abuse? Whichever. Mostly it gets easier with the practice they keep giving, because Supernatural is callous and doesn’t care about what I think??? Idk if that’s worded right but.
Also, tbh, I just lowkey worry about it a lot of the time like I do most everything else–anxiety! [Corpse Bride laugh]–but try to distract myself?
I read stuff, like my current occupation with Redemption Road. (And Brikey.)
I rewatch stuff, like Buffy&Angel (on Netflix) and Beverly Hills 90210 (I own it).
I talk about stuff, including talking around it, like the other day on Twitter where I vented for almost two days about the homophobia in “not seeing” the romantic and/or sexual subtext written into the narrative from both sides, Dean and Cas, and right there in their bond, because of the same-gender reading.
I sometimes do stuff I’m supposed to, like scholarships because college needs money for me to finish my degree right now. Or dinner with the family. Or w/e.
Mostly, yeah, that’s about it. I distract myself but I’m still worrying and sometimes it makes me feel semi-ill; I’m just not thinking about it, because I’ve learned to cope with the incessant worry.
I don’t know if that helps you? But I guess that’s my answer.
