What's your weirdest coping mechanism? (hexbear.net)

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?

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.

Neat, just downloaded it! Come to think of it, I don't think I've watched any iyashikei that are in a true fantasy setting--makes sense, since the genre lends itself to the mundane. Aria the Animation has fantastical elements, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it fantasy. And while Mushishi can be chill, it's got a liiiiitle too much body horror for me to call it iyashikei.

edit: nice profile pic btw
