Being in a cult is like having this huge plant take root in your mind, and the longer it’s inner the bigger and more complex the root system.

Finally realizing it’s all a lie and getting out is like yanking the entire plant out of your brain, it’s tough and annoying until you take one massive tug and it’s out. And it fucking hurts.

And now there are holes where the roots used to be. But if you leave them empty the structural integrity of your mind will be damaged. You have to find something else to fill them with. Preferably something healthy.

And if the roots were complex enough, the one tug that pulled the plant out won’t have been enough to free all the roots. A lot of them are still in there, that’s all the toxic internalized ideas you still have stuck in your head. Unlearning them is like pulling those root fragments out, it’s slow and complicated and painful.

You’re a daycare worker, watching over toddlers, when the imminent end of the world is announced. It becomes increasingly clear none of the kids’ parents are going to show up as the end inches nearer.

A Genie offers you one wish, and you modestly wish to have a very productive 2017. The genie misunderstands, and for the rest of your life, every 20:17 you become impossibly productive for just 60 seconds.

I'm healing my religious trauma one devil horned piccrew at a time

I've always been a college commuter living at home with my garbage parents, but feel free to dm if you have any university or financial aid questions.

the final straw was stupid and minor and for whatever reason it made me decide that i'm getting out of this shithole. i'm not going to be held here any longer. they have done their best to make me weak and dependent and frightened and i am going to rise above. i am stronger than this. nobody is going to be allowed to hurt me. i

i am making plans to leave at the end of the year. i hope to move to a college campus and live off of financial aid, if possible. i may need to work as well, but i feel that would make my studies very difficult so i hope not.

this is all new to me. i am feeling a little out of my depth. friends who have escaped abuse situations and cults, what advice can you give me? friends who are experienced adulters, what are your pro tips? anything helps. thanks.

reblogs appreciated to help this reach more friends for more advice.

Your cult aesthetic looks like dark cloaks and goblets of virgin blood. My cult reality looked like modest dresses and indoctrination training.

Please don’t forget the real cults that are under the radar and remain mostly unchecked in our society to this very day. Please don’t forget how many people spend years of their lives being abused and misled by these cults.

PLEASE DO NOT GLANCE OVER THIS!!

Help a trans girl escape from extremist parents, organized by Audrey Ashe

My name is Luna, I am 18 years old and I am an atheist transgender woman … Audrey Ashe needs your support for Help a trans girl escape from

My dearest friend of over two years needs your help escaping from her extremist parents!!

She's looking to plan her escape from the country but lacks the funds. Read above for more information. This is life or death for her, so EVERY PENNY COUNTS.

DONATE IF YOU CAN.

She's been struggling with an immense amount of mental issues, and if she doesn't manage to get out of there, or someone in her family catches onto the fact she's trans, I genuinely fear for her life.

For any questions or if you simply want to show your support but lack the money, you can PM @lunar-eclipse03. She's lovely and willing to explain things if you have any concerns.

PLEASE SHARE THIS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. LET'S GET LUNA OUT OF THERE.

Inspired by various tumblr posts.

Humans quickly get a reputation among the interplanetry alliance and the reputation is this: when going somewhere dangerous, take a human.

Humans are tough. Humans can last days without food. Humans heal so fast they pierce holes in themselves or inject ink for fun. Humans will walk for days on broken bones in order to make it to safety. Humans will literally cut off bits of themselves if trapped by a disaster.

You would be amazed what humans will do to survive. Or to ensure the survival of others they feel responsible for.

That’s the other thing. Humans pack-bond, and they spill their pack-bonding instincts everywhere. Sure it’s weird when they talk sympathetically to broken spaceships or try to pet every lifeform that scans as non-toxic. It’s even a little weird that just existing in the same place as them for long enough seems to make them care about you. But if you’re hurt, if you’re trapped, if you need someone to fetch help?

You really want a human.
