Beneath Their Masks Chapter 27 Is Up!

Beneath Their Masks Chapter 27 is Up!

Kept ya waiting, huh?

I've got the last few chapters written and stuff. They just need to be posted. Massive thanks to @shuharu-blog-toadstar for helping me out!

Makoto’s knees stung as they collided with the pavement. All of her energy was completely gone and all she could focus on was the ringing in her ears and the nausea that overtook her, sweat dripping down her face. She wasn’t the only one. One-by-one, each of the thieves around her began to fall as the ringing grew louder and louder.

She heard Ryuji. He was yelling something, but Makoto could barely process what was going on. She brought her hand up to wipe her eye and…it was disappearing before her eyes, the rest of her arm following along with it, a sizzling blackness bubbling and hissing as it consumed the rest of her.

“This can’t be real, right?” Were the only words she could bring to her lips.

Ann. What about Ann?

Pulling her focus away from her hands (or lack thereof, in this case), she looked over to Ann. She had fallen to the ground, her own legs disappearing out from under her. Makoto’s heart, as fast as it was beating, sank. Was this the end? Had they failed? All that effort, and this was all they had to show for it? Disappearing into nothingness? Makoto couldn’t tell whether to be crushed by her own disappearance or Ann’s. Either possibility presented a future without Ann, not that it even presented a future at all. What would Sae think? Would she even know that Makoto had disappeared? Would the public cognition write them out of existence, entirely?

Did anything we did even matter? Did anything I do matter?

Makoto’s last thought was cut off by everything going black, her pained suffering extinguished by non-existence.

warning for discord users

If you're on the app, immediately go to your dms and then "add friends". After the latest update they allow your contacts to find you and have that option turned on by default, so make sure it's unchecked!

This is very obviously not great for a multitude of reasons, but especially for people in vulnerable positions who do not want people in their contacts to see who they are on discord and/or know they have discord in the first place. I've also tried finding out if this is a thing on desktop but haven't been able to find any mention of it, so either it's not a "feature" (yet) or they've hidden it. Either way, stay safe, and turn off finding friends via contacts!

[ID: three screenshots from the discord app with circles around the buttons to press to get to this "feature". 1: the messages/DM button, 2: the "add friends button", 3: in the add friends page, the "allow contacts to add me" checkbox. /END ID]

“I wish I had never been born!” You cried to the genie. But when you opened your eyes, you were still here. The genie shook its head sadly and asked,“What kind of pain have you endured, that you would wish for such a thing?”

depression tips™

shower. not a bath, a shower. use water as hot or cold as u like. u dont even need to wash. just get in under the water and let it run over you for a while. sit on the floor if you gotta.

moisturize everything. use whatever lotion u like. unscented? dollar store lotion? fancy ass 48 hour lotion that makes u smell like a field of wildflowers? use whatever you want, and use it all over. 

put on clean, comfortable clothes. 

put on ur favorite underwear. cute black lacy panties? those ridiculous boxers u bought last christmas with candy cane hearts on the butt? put em on.

drink cold water. use ice. if u want, add some mint or lemon for an extra boost.

clean something. doesn’t have to be anything big. organize one drawer of ur desk. wash five dirty dishes. do a load of laundry. scrub the bathroom sink. 

blast music. listen to something upbeat and dancey and loud, something that’s got lots of energy. sing to it, dance to it, even if you suck at both.

make food. don’t just grab a granola bar to munch. take the time and make food. even if it’s ramen. add something special to it, like a hard boiled egg or some veggies. prepare food, it tastes way better, and you’ll feel like you accomplished something. 

make something. write a short story or a poem, draw a picture, color a picture, fold origami, crochet or knit, sculpt something out of clay, anything artistic. even if you don’t think you’re good at it.

go outside. take a walk. sit in the grass. look at the clouds. smell flowers. put your hands in the dirt and feel the soil against your skin.

call someone. call a loved one, a friend, a family member, call a chat service if you have no one else to call. talk to a stranger on the street. have a conversation and listen to someone’s voice. if you can’t, text or email or whatever, just have some social interaction with another person. even if you don’t say much, listen to them.

cuddle your pets if you have them/can cuddle them. take pictures of them. talk to them. tell them how u feel, about your favorite movie, a new game coming out.

I feel a little weird cuz when I do my prompt chapters, I write the prompt section, and then nine times out of ten, there are more words dedicated to my headcanon or side shit than the actual prompt.

I'm not gonna apologize for it, but I just felt like it's a little weird. Should I make separate chapters for it? Yeah probably.

Am I going to? Nah.
