Sometimes its okay to cry. Not that customary weep just because you’ve been hurt over something particular. But that cry when you’ve been dealing with life all on your own for quite some time, when your emotions have been drenched and gasped right through your heart, when you don’t have one of your parents to pat your back or to tell you its going to be okay, maybe the etchy guilt to have made someone feel bad about themselves, or when you can not bear the burden in your chest anymore and your soul feels way too heavy. Just take a deep breath. And let it all go, the burden, the misery,  the sorrow and pain accumulating in your chest for far too long. And forming roots within its cavity. Cry, not for help, but to make sure you still feel. You don’t have to be one of those pretentious beings out there. There’s no need to hold it in anymore, and sleep with a heavy heart. It’s okay. It may feel like a long night, but when the sun shines through the clouds, and refracts right into your window that’s when it’ll hit you that there’s always light no matter how dark or scary the night gets. The shrill clucks will wake you up. Make some freaking pancakes. Or some eggs too. And please no bacon. It’s just a few bad days, weeks, or years. But in the end It’s all going to be okay. And fall right into place for you. Every good thing takes time..

PSA: responsible representation within roleplay. 

I could easily be one of the LEAST qualified people to write this post, but lately I’ve noticed a  phenomenon within roleplaying communities. writers will change their muses’ race, sexuality, ethnicity, and gender ( or attempt to tackle a muse of another race, sexuality, ethnicity, and gender ) without writing any supporting headcanons or making any attempts to incorporate those identities into their muses’ story. Sometimes these “efforts” at representation go no further than a simple faceclaim change ( and, in the worst cases, an alt faceclaim ).  This can feel like a token gesture to minority groups, and to be honest, it is. It is GREAT roleplayers are beginning to understanding the need representation within roleplay communities !!  Representation is needed. But RESPONSIBLE representation is needed.   Writing a character of a marginalized identity should be proceeded by education and dedication. 

1. EDUCATE YOURSELF: 🗸 learning about systemic racism, intersectionality, sexual & racial & gender discrimination, cultural & ethnic norms, external & internalized oppression, whitewashing & erasure, misgendering &passing, tokenism vs. diversity, nuance & stereotypes ( and much more ) will contribute to your ability at writing good representation.  If any of these topics may sound completely foreign to you– so DO YOUR RESEARCH!   HELPFUL LINKS FOR STARTERS:  writing people of color writing poc when you are white writing characters of other sexual orientations comprehensive list of lgbtq+ terms stereotypes and tropes navigation preventing tokenism gender-inclusive guidelines introducing race & skin color naturally

2. DEDICATE YOURSELF: reach out to qualified friends and acquaintances with a genuine curiosity and willingness to learn what life is like in their shoes. be open to accepting hard truths, facing hidden biases, and correcting personal misconceptions. puruse articles and blogs that address the identity you’re looking to write. When re-working your muse, DO incorporate what you’ve learned into their history, psyche, mentality, logic, and ultimate story.  things to avoid straight out the gate: X stereotyping -  falling back on tropes & generalizations  X cultural appropriation -  writing about a culture that is not yours, while perpetuating stereotypes or egregiously misrepresenting it X whitewashing - portraying your muse as lighter than they are X fetishism -  fetishizing a person or culture belonging to a race or ethnic group, as well as a person belonging to a certain sexual or gender identity group X tokenism -  including a minority character for the simple sake of having a minority character  X homogenizing - “every gay is the same”, “every latinx person is the same”. to avoid this, write your muse with their own unique dreams, goals, thoughts, stories, and passions.  important things to remember:  🗸  just because you fall into a specific minority group does NOT mean you understand life through the eyes of another minority group. X  “Oh heck, I could easily write a black muse without research, after all I’m gay.” 🗸 “As a gay man, I acknowledge that people of color have their own unique perspectives and experiences that I have never lived.” 

“But that’s a lot of work!”       BINGO. People can’t peel their identities off like a pair of clothes, so arbitrarily changing or writing a muses of a certain race / sexuality / ethnicity / gender without appropriately explaining how such changes alter the fabric of their identity, sends out the message that these identities are totally inconsequential. 

“But I might screw up.”          It’s quite possible you won’t get everything right, but that’s where you stay open to critique, criticism, and pointers, and reach out to people where you can’t find answers. The answer isn’t to totally throw in the towel. 

“It would just be easier to write my own identity.”  Again, representation is needed within writing. refusing to do so because it’s “work” is a major cop-out.

In summary, offering up the bare minimum representation isn’t good enough anymore. Representation must be rooted in learning and understanding. So educate yourself, dedicate yourself, and REPRESENT the people groups who need it the most. Be safe, and be responsible with your muses’ identities. 💖

How the heck do you stop a break down because I'm not sure I can take another one.

[hexinreign]

I’ve found my anxiety is getting worse and I’m agitated with people I usually don’t get agitated with. I don’t have therapy again until the week after next and I have to wait until the 18th to see someone about retesting me. I’m not sure what to do, none of my coping skills seem to work anymore.

I’m just frustrated with everything.
