A silly little thing. Credit to whoever drew the trans autism creature. Edits by me.

I was going through it today regarding my queer identity and my Christian faith, and how difficult it can be to be both at once, especially when church teachings aren't affirming. So I'm posting this silly little thing I made, to cheer myself up. I hope it cheers someone else up too.

it should be better known that gifs, emojis, art, and images are as valid of communication as words in text or voice messages!!! Think of it as digital nonverbal communication. The main point is expressed, and it’s your deal to make sense of it.

we jest we laugh but doesn't the thought that we aren't even free of nobility as a ruling class make your blood boil. Yes yes by the modes of the present the current ruling classes are the capitalists the hegemonies the monopolies but we can't even say we exchanged one for the other. They're literally still here. It's so inconcievable to me. What the hell

do u ever in your mind have a vision so beautiful you mourn that it doesnt exist and then remember that u can draw. anyway heres the glass coffin scene if they were pikmin

’Isaac Newton was a cold, rude person-‘ he was mentally ill Karen.

‘Dante would have had to be a real bastard to have written about these people in Hell-‘ he was working through trauma Karen.

‘Robespierre was creepy and never smiled, and lacked empathy-‘ he worked relentlessly for human rights Karen. He might have been autistic and even if he wasn’t, stop judging dead people by their facial expressions, ‘ya bastard.

Jesus, the way we talk about historical figures really reveals people’s ableism, now doesn’t it?

The Art Of Detachment For The Hyper-Empathetic

- do you feel like everything is triggering you, you ruminate on conversations, you get overly attached to others and or the things they say?

- do you feel/ get told “you care too much” or “too passionate” and prone to feeling irritated or upset by things

- do you feel you couldn’t do most of “unbothered” and “detachment” posts?

If this is you, you might be an overly empathetic person. This can be both a blessing and a curse. Today I will tell you how to fix this and master the art of unbothered and detached to protect your peace.

You need to use your empathy to explain someone’s behavior in a way to dismiss what they are doing, which avoids you from getting into in a victim mindset.

Example : Someone says something mean to you.

How an overly sympathetic person would react naturally : “This person was so mean to me, they said this and that. I can’t believe that how could they do that? Did I do something wrong?” and go tell others and let it stick with them all day, rent free.

How a naturally unbothered person would react: They wouldn’t care and honestly most likely laugh it off.

How you, as an hyper-empathetic person NEEDS to react: “That’s a very odd way to react to things as an adult, being mean at this age is concerning. They must have underlying issues to behave this way, unfortunately I am unqualified to treat this behavior, hopefully they can get the help they need from a specialist”

This is how you become detached and don’t become a victim while also remaining kind and keeping up your morals!

gonna elaborate on one of the steps from this post of mine about my ideal narilamb dynamic bcus i want to talk about them jfdklasjkfds so go check that out for context

but the idea (which i'm going to put under a cut bcus i love to Talk)

i'm thinking this is like, partway through their decade-ish phase where they're going from "mutual bitter betrayal" to "on friendly terms again," and the lamb is charged with re-killing and subsequently indoctrinating the bishops. which like... is gonna stir up a Lot of feelings (i also hc, in this case, that the bishop situation doesn't come up for at least a few years after the lamb initially defeats narinder, hence being in the mid phase) bcus the lamb thought they were striking down the bishops responsible for the horrors they've faced the first time, and now some asshole in a cloak is telling them they didn't do it right. plus narinder thought he was free of his siblings and ever having to confront the feelings he has about them but now they're going to be Here and he can't Hide Forever bcus he's far enough into healing that the lamb would be sad if he regressed back into isolation (and also he's been getting more involved with the day-to-day cult stuff and him disappearing would cause Issues)

(also. tbh i think narinder starts falling back in love first, bcus i feel like he spent so long stuffing down his feelings that now that he has a body that can Feel Emotions Physically he has a harder time ignoring them. not that he'd bring that up at this point but like, he's in a weird love/hate/desire for healing cycle with the lamb that they are Vaguely aware of but don't want to push bcus their own feelings on the matter are just as complicated and they Do Not want to address those)

so the lamb gets this mission to kill leshy again and take him in. they kind of talk to narinder about it but don't bring up all the details bcus they're not sure what they're going to do about leshy once he's in the cult, and they don't Necessarily trust narinder's first reaction to seeing his baby brother again, nor do they trust leshy to be around narinder for at Least a week or two, possibly longer. so narinder just knows the basics of the plan, and then the lamb fucking Disappears for a bit to get this done. narinder is stewing in his feelings while he runs the cult with the lamb's other disciples and he's not having a Great time. one may even accurately accuse him of having a Bad time. no one is going to bcus fuck if anyone is going to bring up that he seems to be in a bad mood more often these days.

the lamb comes back with leshy. narinder is Not a fan of this choice but it's not like he had any way of denying it, bcus the lamb Has to do something about the bishops or shit is gonna get bad, and even if he wishes they would just kill him, the lamb isn't exactly known for that (their tendency toward second chances, after all, is the only reason he's going through this). the lamb keeps them apart for a while until leshy settles in and it's clear he's not in any immediate danger of dissenting, at the very least. narinder still kind of avoids him bcus he's pissed off that leshy was involved in imprisoning him and he's afraid that leshy is upset with him about tearing out his eyes (he is, but he's not about to have that argument without back up).

and narinder and the lamb have managed to go a little while without arguing about anything big, bcus they're both trying to work on that (and the arguments are never Actually what they're about so it's not like they were getting anywhere), but narinder is so on edge about leshy that he snaps at the lamb and they snap back bcus they're on edge about heket and this mysterious cloaked figure (which narinder can Kind of see but not yet communicate with, for other reasons i have hcs for about his return to divinity and will maybe one day elaborate on separately). they get into a shouting match about the lamb's choices about what to do about the bishops and how much of those choices are actually in their control and how much each of them is upset about these developments and how much narinder does Not want to see his other three siblings again, and really it's about narinder feeling left out of the thought processes and the lamb feeling like they can't trust him to be involved and therefore having no one to turn to bcus it's not like they can address these issues with their regular ass mortal disciples and also both of them are heavily traumatized by the bishops and don't want to acknowledge said trauma. it's messy and loud and they both walk away pissed

but the important thing is after they walk away from said argument they both feel guilty about it. and they've always felt Bad walking away from shouting matches and they've occasionally felt a Little guilty about big arguments but this is the first time they've both been like "fuck, maybe we could have talked that out instead of yelling" so they regroup and apologize for parts of it and kind of talk about other parts (they're still not Completely there, to be clear, we're still in the "figuring out wtf is happening between us" phase) and the lamb lets narinder in more on their plans for heket and asks for his advice on dealing with her after she's brought into the cult and about how much he wants to be involved. which starts the ball rolling faster on them starting to make up bcus now they're on more equal footing and narinder feels less like he's being blocked from the important parts and the lamb feels less isolated in the process of dealing with the people responsible for so much of the pain in their life

and if like.......... narinder has a few dreams that he dwells on for a while or stares at the lamb too intensely during sermons. well that's his business. the lamb definitely doesn't think about him while they run solo crusades or while they're alone in the evenings, wandering around and helping out the night crew with the occasional tasks, not if you asked them

(there's also a decent amount of timespan involved with this, but that's not as important jfkldsajdf in my head this takes place over the course of about four months, from the mysterious seller appearing to them starting discussions about heket, with bringing in all four bishops taking about a year and a half total, potentially closer to two years depending on narinder's reactions to heket and kallamar and the seasons' effects on the lamb)

Hey, big favor to ask here. I know I post monthly reminders about my divination services to help save money for my wife's upcoming bottom surgery recovery... but we now have more medical debt and could really use the help. She went to the ER a few weeks ago for severe stomach pain and has an endoscopy in a few days to try to figure out what's going on. I'm approaching two years of not being gainfully employed now, so we're barely getting by as is. My wife has taken so much time off for all of this between various appointments and needing rest, so her paychecks are going to be smaller. (She's autistic so the sensory and emotional overwhelm of this experience has been a lot for, and I'm ADHD so the additional mental load of caring for her without access to the meds I need is really getting to me now.) So, if you would be so kind as to share this post and perhaps order a reading, here is my Ko-fi link again. You can make a regular donation if you don't want a reading (but I do offer single card/rune readings for $1!) Please feel free to share on other socials, text it to people, hell, pop it in an email if the spirit moves you. I hate asking this when there are so many other causes that deserve your money way more than we do. I just have no clue what else to do for money at this point, and divination is one of the few things I can do to earn money by actually providing a service/working in some capacity. We sincerely appreciate any help. 🙏

Prayers and spells are also appreciated. ❤️

Nothing feels better than setting a goal and achieving it 🎀

I set a goal to build the habit of studying for two hours every day, regardless of if I have to or not. This was my goal because:

There is so much I want to learn in this life, and I just needed to build the self-discipline to actually do it.

To break the bad habit cycle of procrastination -> last-minute panic that I was stuck in for most of my life.

It feels so much better and more relaxing than the 2h I would have wasted doom scrolling and girl rotting.

This is just a screenshot of this week so far, but I’ve actually maintained the habit for multiple weeks now!!!

Just completed another 2h block, and I’m feeling both mentally refreshed, and super proud of myself, so I decided to share ☺️

Change is possible!! It gets better!! 💖
