I get that like, gentle supportiveness, is useful for lots of people, but I wanna try something different. Drink some water. I fucking dare you. (Thread for framing self-care/accomplishing goals as a competition. Mark unfun viciousness “flinch”; no kicking people when they’re down.) I’m currently procrastinating on sorting some receipts.
(Not necessarily relevant: I was taking a swig of water while reading just before I got up the "Drink some water. I fucking dare you" and had to avoid laughing while drinking because of the coincidence.)
I have the trash and recycling next to me and I’m sitting by the door sorting receipts AND junk mail, so there! What are you up to? (thank xD)
Well, one piece of mail turned out to be my undoing. It's not for me. It's for my neighbor, whose mail keeps going to me. Said piece of mail has been in a junk-mail pile for probably months at this point, and my neighbor doesn't seem to be home. I am now demoralized. My other rival, the errant postal worker, has won this round. I need to rest to get up my strength to try again.

Oh you rascal, that was some good work you did! You gonna take some well-deserved rest, or see if you can hold onto that momentum?
(okay lol) Their door is hermeneutically sealed, yo. I'm gonna lay it down in FRONT of their door. So there.
Too late, for I have already fed upon the blood of my enemies! I am unstoppable now. I cannot be stopped! (my enemies being peanuts, apparently)
I've been on top of the eating thing today. But now, I have a guest approaching, and I've got to be ready to entertain in style. Any pictures for me to outdo? (Pictures of gremlin lairs, on the one hand, or ultrarich social functions on the other, are greatly appreciated here. Fictional sources encouraged, particularly animated ones. ...by which I mean if you get me a relevant screencap from Ratatouille I will surrender this round with good grace.)
My guest is here and I'm still in full gremlin mode. Then again, my guest is lying on my couch going on their phone, so... no stones thrown here. (This is said with utmost fondness to the aforementioned guest.)
I don’t have the Ratatouille screencap but DO YOU WANT YOUR LAIR TO STAY LIKE THIS?? (...obviously don’t clean rn since your guest is already there, though)
