With all the bad stuff that’s happened in the past, all the bad stuff going on in the present, and the forecast being full of terrible stuff in the future, now’s a great time to look for new ways to get through all the bullshit. What are your weird, unconventional, or non-traditional ways for coping with things when times get tough?

I’ve realized that formal wear is my security blanket…
Sometimes it’s nice to dress up.
Whenever I remember something bad my head snaps 90 degrees left to the right and I mumble some random nonsense that makes no sense. Completely involuntary but you can’t argue with results.
I think it helps the my brain reset and forget about either the incoming doom of climate change or alternatively when I mispronounced a word while giving a speech and felt embarrassed.
Not really unconventional, because it’s literally made for this, but I’ve gotten super into a subgenre of anime called Iyashikei. It’s shows and manga with almost no. Conflict, slice of life plots, and an overall vibe meant to be relaxing and chill.
Thrill as… Some girls discover the joys of camping…a group of kids walk to the candy store… A pair of lesbians in a fleshed out fantasy world have a delightfully pleasant train ride, to go on a fishing trip.
Great taste! Yuru Camp, Non Non Biyori, and…what’s the third one? Whatever it is, it’s going on my PTW list.
Thank you! The last one is Hakumei to Mikochi! It only got one season, and I feel like the manga is a bit better, but it’s an Iyashikei in a unique fantasy setting, which I always really loved about it.
Stories, movies, video games etc. about cute anthropomorphic animals

I have a large number of illegal emotional support knives.
Yes, I am that guy with a distressing number of knives lying around.
there’s a classic doom youtuber who does 100% runthroughs of doom maps and i like to just watch them, he’s got such a relaxing voice so it kind of feels almost like watching a bob ross episode in a way (here’s the channel btw)
spoiler
also drinking
His non-runthrough videos are great as well.
Did you watch Power Pak’s video on MyHouse.WAD? Longest and most fascinating Doom video I’ve ever seen.
I’m completely sober which makes me fatigued with news so I end up doing other things

rub my face on my bf’s abs
theyre hard enough that it kinda feels like a massage, but for my face
I’ve been retexturing a new vrchat avatar. Building a virtual fursuit essentially. Getting all the textures and clothes and props working and just right is a process. It’s exactly the kind of process that I can lose myself for hours in.
