why do i continue to be surprised when i go to tumblr to see people’s thoughts about something and just get immediately bombarded with the absolute worst takes ever
first i just wanted to say that getting into the void state is easy, only if you assume it is. and all you have to do to make it a reality is simply affirming that you get into the void easily. that’s it. i always get into the void in less than five minutes, so you can do it too.

-get into a comfortable position and relax. you can lay down on your bed or even sit down on a chair, it’s totally up to you.
[]
-donot move! big mistake is moving. you want your brain to think you went to sleep, that way it shuts down your body. creating the floating symptom.
[]
-focus on your affirmations only, don’t focus on the 3d or your body. just your affs. do a quick meditation before hand if you have issues focusing. and no, you don’t need to use any guided meditation, just breathe in 4 seconds, hold for 7 and release after 8 seconds. repeat and adjust till you feel yourself relaxing.
[]
-how long it takes you to get into the void is strictly based on your assumption. the void isn’t above you, it’s within you and you need to understand that. if you put it on a pedestal, always check for symptoms and assume that it’ll take a long time then it will take a long time. if you assume that it’s the easiest thing in the world (which it is) then you’ll get there in minutes, maybe even seconds.
[]
-congratulations!you’ve made it. now remember, you don’t have to state every single thing that you want. a blanket statement like “i have everything i want” works like magic.
the void state is instant because you’re quite literally pure consciousness. you are basically god at that point (you’re always god, even without the void). just assume that it’s easy and it will be easier than it already is. you’re legit just staying still and affirming, how hard can that be?
After drawing Peter Lukas, I wondered about Simon. I really enjoy his appearances in the series but he certainly is one of the characters that didn’t immediately evoked a face in my head. But when wrecking actively my brain about it, he suddenly was there: a dapper, old man who seem very friendly and likeable, if a bit aloof, but also who wouldn’t mind pushing you off a cliff just for fun. I am rather happy with the idea of the blue tinted glasses.
Image description: [portrait of Simon Fairchild, as a thin, old, white man. He wears a brown and grew woollen jacket, a white felt fedora hat, a white scarf. The background is a bright cerulean blue bleeding into a darker but equally saturated cobalt towards the top. It is reminiscent of the bluest and deepest of skies. Simon strokes his small goatee, while he smiles fondly and a bit creepily at the viewer. His eyes taxing you over the rims of his blue tinted glasses. His irises are dark but their pupils are filled with the bright blue glow of the sky in the background.]
Things to do this coming Valentine’s day that aren’t crying because you’re going to die alone:
Give yourself a valentine gift (that will be better than anything anyone else can give you).
Send your mutals some anonymous love.
Eat a really big heart shaped cake or alternately a really big box of chocolates. And remember you’re single so you don’t have to share them with anyone.
Mail anonymous valentine’s cards to people who you know are in a relationship and laugh as the chaos unfolds.
Read some valentine’s themed fanficton of your OTP and instead of crying about your loneliness remember no one will ever love anyone else as much as your OTP loves one another, so you dodged a bullet by being single.
Sit on your roof (if you can) and maniacally laugh or violently screech for as long as your lungs allow. Trust me you are messing up someone’s valentine’s sex.
Go outside or annoy your family by sniffing the air obnoxiously and saying ‘can you smell the love’, ‘can you smell the passion’ ‘Doesn’t it smell GOOD’.
Look into the void, it’s lonelier than you will ever be. Whisper secret messages into the void, ‘I never returned that money I borrowed’, ‘Clare is sleeping with the Baker’. The void loves hearing your secret messages.
Make some gingerbread people in the shapes of people in your life and bite their arms and legs off slowly because gingerbread people deserve to suffer.
Remind everyone repeatedly that St Valentine was actually the patron saint of epilepsy and was stoned to death. Remind them again to show how clever you are. Remind them once more just for good measure.
