#“take my advice im not using it!!”

[merlions]

Here's something really important i have learned wrt overcoming moral OCD and things such as that: one of the main dreads is "well if I stop clenching my fist so FUCKING tight and mentally excoriating and flogging myself for even a tiny moment then I'll immediately become truly evil before I can learn any nuance" but like. If you're trying that hard to be good, like, easing up a little isn't gonna rubber band you in the opposite direction. I can't explain it better than that like. It is NOT GOING TO RUBBER BAND YOU IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. You're not elastic, you're like a rope being pulled so far it's fraying. Ease up on the tension and you're still basically exactly where you were, just relaxed and not in danger of snapping. Don't relax and, well. You will snap?

Daily trans tip: If you shave your face, try using an after-shave. Unfortunately, it really can make the shave feel so much better (especially if, like me, you don't use an electric razor)

Reading The Flash 2016 #75 and....I love when they put their foreheads together. I want them to laugh together and look lovingly in each other's eyes (woah)

Here is the panel I drew this from

THEY'RE SO CUTE I ACTUALLY CANT??

I have a good feeling i know the answer to this but am i the only system irritated with the fact that when i search for osdd or plurality related content i only get educational stuff? Can i get a system introducing all their headmates? Talking about their innerworld? Maybe detailing split/fusion or host history?

I dont need to know peoples traumas or really "need" any of the info i just. Wish our community wasnt based around medicine or vocab lessons. I wanna connect with someone like me. I don't need to watch another video "how my alters communicate" i get it i get it.

I wanna know the names! I wanna see how yall present and why! I wanna form friendships and communities! Humanize ourselves, even if nonhuman, you know?

live in the moment. take things day by day because change, good or bad, does not happen overnight. love yourself. love others. put the joy and peace that you would like to see in the world out there. live and laugh and enjoy the little things and don't give up because no matter what people might try to tell you, it's really not over until it's over

Hey! I just read your post where you answer the "random ask" by changingplumbob, and I'm just wondering if you have any advice for someone trying to get to know their OC better???

hallo friend :) (sorry for the late-ish response) I don't really have any advice, I don't wanna say it comes naturally to me, but it kinda does, and I've always been this way for the most part, I used to fill out really detailed 20 page character "introductions"/"bios" that I found online ALL the time when I was like 14-16 so 🤷‍♂️

I have a board on pinterest that I made if you wanna check that out <:D ppl have asked me (or mentioned how they admire) how I know my ocs so well, and tbh i just go on pinterest and find oc questions and stuff to add to a random private boards, but I'll just start adding that stuff to this board for you and anybody else looking to get to know their ocs better 🫶

[napping-sapphic]

my boyfriend is trans, mtf but doesn't like that i consider my sexuality sapphic. what do i do? doesn't sapphic also apply to trans men?

Ah.

Another advice ask😓

Yall i appreciate that some of you feel comfortable asking me for relationship advice or that you might be comfortable here since im an anonymous stranger etc

HOWEVER, let me be straight up honest with you— i havent ever been in an actual relationship, im a MAJOR shut in so i’m not at all up to date with all the minutiae of the queer community, full on i have averaged leaving the house one (1) single time PER MONTH for the last FIVE months

I do not want to give you bad/naive/shortsighted advice

And i promise you do not want my bad advice

I am begging you Please do not ask me for advice i am so stressed

[imflyingfish]

side note. im just upset now about how it feels like my work is no longer belonging to me. I dont get to choose what it is put into. it is now a comodity for whoever believes that they have a right to my work.

When I work in an art-based industry, what I produce will not be my own. It will be owned by another company who hired me. I could spend hours on it and pour my life force into what I create, but it could be held by the company and not released or released and removed from my ownership.

Now tumblr is the same. now every website is the same. You never have control of what you post forever. You never get to choose what happens to your online work. But now I know that what I post will go directly into the content meatgrinder that is AI technology. I will not get to choose this. I will not get to own my work any more. Even if I opt out, even if thousands of users opt out, not everybody will. Not everybody will know. Not everybody will want to. Not everybody will be bothered.

Theres a difference between individuals reposting my work onto pinterest and an entire blog being fed into AI. Theres a difference between a single human feeding artwork that isnt theirs into AI and an automatic process in which my data, my artwork, my life is being fed into AI. I will never own my own work again unless I keep it directly next to me and never share it.

Im debating pulling all of my work from this website.

i feel like part of me has died. i can't write at all.

everything i write sucks, and i wish i could have the same burst of energy i had before. i have so many ideas in mind, but when i put them into practice they don't have the same shine as i imagined.

i'm stuck in a place mentally, and i thought everything would get better when i finally had some free time. it didn't. i feel trapped, i feel empty, i feel like part of me is mentally dead.

i'm not having fun at all. i'm tired.

- i know you. you know me. you don't have to answer me at all. i just wanted to take some weight off my mind.

Repackaging your way of life can make it more exciting if that's what you're struggling with. Learn new ways to express your hobby. Try different ways to write. Be more poetic. Be more juvenile. Try it out on paper. Try a free site or app for writing. Look up online tutorials and discover new words to use... It won't fix you. But it might help for a little while.

A passion isn't a passion anymore if it feels like a chore. People change. So do their passions. I'm sorry.
