ᴛʜᴇ ʏᴀᴘᴘᴇʀ & ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪꜱᴛᴇɴᴇʀ

a/n: I'm back! with a gift for my bsf, and my hyperfixation with TF is back full swing :D

tags: fluff, established relationship, robot/human, brief spoilers but nothing major

synopsis: You sit on Sentinels shoulder as he talks about his day.

on ao3!

wanna support me or commison a fic? check out kofi!

You like listening to Sentinel speak, finding his voice rather soothing and almost therapeutic. Most people—cybertrionians—didn't, esspically the ones who have been working for him over the decades. You can easily see the annoyance prevalent on their faces, but they never dared to voice it.

He knows this all too well and simply doesn't care. With his ego and self-confidence, he never lets it bother him. Although, he seems to talk even more when he's around you.

He doesn't talk at you like he does others. He actually talks to you, actively including you in his conversations that he'd normally have for himself.

Just as he is now, in the privacy of your shared habsuite. He sits at his desk, typing away on boring data pads as he talks about his day. You relax on his shoulder, leaning against his vents and enjoying the breeze that warms your cold skin.

"Those two miners- by primus were they something. I never thought I'd see those cogless bots actually try to be... different." Sentinel says, and sarcastic chuckle emits from his voice box.

You nod, flipping a page in your book. It was one of the many that you brought with you on your spaceship when you crashed and landed on Cybertrion.

"Is that a good or bad thing?" You ask as look up from your book and stare at the side of his helm. The gold of his audials still shone under the dim lighting.

He huffed, his vents pushing out a hot breeze of air. "Not necessarily. It did make the race more enjoyable and boosted the work ethic of the other minors, but they broke rank, so they will be dealt with."

A frown tugs at your lips. You didn't like the way he delved out punishments. Finding them too much for even the littlest things.

"They won't mysteriously disappear, right?"

Sentinel turns his head to you, and the striking blue of his optics locks with your eyes. You tense slightly, the stare was intense, and unnerving. You can't read him when he's like this. The unpredictability puts you on edge.

"Nuh uh, they'll just be going to one of the sublevels. Don't worry, you're pretty little head about it, 'kay?" He reassures you and grins, leaning forward to press a light kiss to your lips, the best he could anyway since his face obviously drawfs yours.

His engine rumbles—sounding like a cats purr—, and he pulls back, eyes analyzing your now smiling face. Sentinel raises a servo and his digit through your hair, pushing it back and away from your face. He would touch your hair for days if he could. Its softness brings him a great sense of peace.

Sentinel will probably never admit it, but he likes it when he's with you. With you, he can relax, forgetting about the Quintessons and everything else on Cybertron he has to deal with.

He likes the quietness being with you brings, the comfortable presence you have, of someone who actually wants to be around him and indulge him in a real conversation.

Enjoying the hair stroking, you let your eyes fall shut, leaning back into his digit. The stroke of it is soothing, reminding you of your family back home.

Now he's your family, and you both are content with that.

MEET THE ARTIST - 24TH EDITION

Hi everyone, my name is Milos, and I felt it was time for a new introduction. 

I’m a 24 year old neurodivergent nonbinary queer multimedia expressionist artist. 

Wow, a lot of labels I know! I just feel these are the most important ones for me.

I’m based in Ontario, Canada.

My work is a very personal part of me. I use art for therapeutic reasons most of the time, and the expressionism is a very important aspect of that. Most of the time I do not think of the final product of what I am making, just focus on what I’m feeling while I create and evoking those emotions with my art. I have a lot of work based on traumatic events, but the reason for these creations was never to evoke the feelings of being alone, unwanted, etcetera; they were created to make the viewers who deal with the same emotions to feel less alone in those things. It is for those who have survived trauma to know it’s hard to have that trauma and carry it, and there is safe spaces to put it down. My art is aiming to be a safe place to survivors who are struggling, to provide a place to weep, to provide a place to be seen. Many of my works are graphic, talking about the trauma I went through in ways others find grotesque. And to that I say: Why should I have to carry something so grotesque, alone? Why can’t I put it down somewhere, and put the appropriate context warnings? My work is not to promote the grotesque in a way that is profiting, but to show that this is what some people endure in life. I want to be allowed to show my darkest vulnerabilities with my art, because I shouldn’t have to feel shame for what others have done to me, and nobody else should hold onto shame caused by others harming them, in my eyes. My work is a conversation starter about how trauma manifests in people. I want it to be that way. Other times, my work is very bright, happy, storytelling. It depends on what I’m going for in the respect of the piece being about the trauma events, or the trauma recovery. I basically just make a lot of work based on different trauma. I tend to pull inspiration from musicians I like as well. Many people knew me for my Crywank album series, I did art for almost every song of every album they have made. 

I always want to evoke emotion with colour and narrative, and I do that with various tools. Digitally I work on an iPad Pro 4th gen 12.9 inch and an Apple Pencil that I bought used off a friend. I also have a Wacom bamboo tablet for my computer and when I use adobe products for university. I have a variety of magazines, books, paper, that I use for collage works. I often paint with acrylic paint on canvas for paintings, but sometimes wood boards as well. When I work in sketchbooks they���re usually max size 5x7inches for travel purposes, but my pencil case is huge and loaded with supplies. I always have a bag of words handy for collage poetry.

I am really not into talking about myself in regards to my personality, but I feel like I’m a very anxious but always trying their best kind of guy. I don't have other socials I'm sharing on because I have grown to hate social media. I don’t really do much for work aside from lawn care because my disabilities, but I am in university full time pursuing to be an art therapist, and I’m doing my best to adapt to living in a safe, non traumatizing environment. 

Thanks for enjoying my art in the process of me learning to love myself fully, and accept my trauma. 

Love to everyone,

Milos / Dissociationdude

Most of the stuff I scrap together doesn’t have a theme, well let me correct myself, the theme is what you make it. Whatever any of it makes you feel is exactly what the theme of it is.

These just so happen to have a theme, just some general stuff that piqued my interest at the time that I was creating. These are also some early stuff I made in the past year and definitely some of the more organized content on the mild side of emotional. Not that anything I’ve made is that deep but some stuff has definitely evoked more emotion that I’m excited to share

The therapeutic relief in just placing little digital cutouts wherever was unreal and I was making these left and right.

My friends said “these would be cool screensavers” and the idea that someone would use them as such was cool to me. But really any interaction from strangers on the internet is fucking cool to me. That’s why I’ve made a third social media profile specifically for this work because the responses I’ve gotten from shuffles and TikTok have been so fun.

Me personally I do not even have any of my stuff as my own screensaver I just kinda like to sit and stare, make a habit out of my eye scan for each one like tracing steps and I hope that someone does that too.

I made a little game of it, I started hiding a letter G in every single collage. (Not the first one I didn’t get the idea until after lol)

so every single missing tooth collage you’ll ever see from this post forward is always going to have a “G” in it. (The love of my entire life’s name starts with G for anyone curious)

Some in plain sight, some I have to sit and stare at for a moment.

This derived from my own personal experience at therapy as a kid. I wasn’t much for outward vocal expression of my feelings and for weeks I sat and looked at the therapist I was visiting without saying anything. Finally a few weeks in she handed me a Halloween edition ISpy book and here I am years later taking creating my own rendition because it was an underrated outlet that made me feel peaceful.

I encourage anyone who is feeling like shit and took the time to make it this far down the post to follow me, or favorite something and keep tabs to revisit, if you ever need a breather take a look and find the “G”

If you’re competitive, take a look and try to find something I post that doesn’t have a G and point it out to me.

Make anything your screen saver and if you do show me I’d love to see what you picked

Send my stuff to your bestfriend at 3AM

Show your favorite cousin my tumblr and tell them to find my TikTok for you.

Tell me that I made something that reminds you of your ex bestfriend and you wish you could send it to them because you miss them and you’d know they’d like it.

(Send it to them anyways)

Send me love, send me hate, send me whatever is on your mind about anything I create, I’m usually awake

Hi! I love your wood burning things and I wanna ask how'd you get into it? :D I'd love to know your process because there's so many details in the Aiva piece one and I'm so in love with it!!

Hi!! Firstly thank you so so much! Means a lot to hear that people are enjoying my work🧡 secondly, the way I got into it was through buying @altargokart ‘s online course! I was in love with their work and thought the process looked so therapeutic and beautiful, so I wanted to give it a shot. I’ll put a link at the bottom of this post to an ask where I share the course and talk a bit more about the tools I use!

As for my process, oh gosh. It’s always hard for me to answer this question because I’m all over the place. BUT. I usually just start by taking psychic damage from an idea that’s rattling around in my brain and demands to be put on wood. Then I gather a bunch of references of vintage illustration, which my art is heavily inspired by since it relies so much on creating value only with linework, but also because of the beautiful compositions (that’s not the only way to do woodburning, but my style leans more in that direction). I’ll add some examples because ooooof they’re too good.

Then I do my sketch digitally, print it the size that I want, and then transfer it onto the wood using graphite transfer paper. And then, of course, you burn🔥 I’m not sure if this answers your question but I hope it does lol. Thank you again🧡🧡🧡

Dear reader,

Greetings from the south of Brazil! I hope this letter finds you well. I'm Val and I'm an English teacher in her 20s. I'm new to teaching so it has its challenges, but I find it incredibly rewarding. Outside the classroom, I'm a bit of a homebody, and there's nothing I love more than a cozy nap.

In my free time, I have a few hobbies that bring me immense joy. I'm a crocheter and knitter, though I've not done either in some time due to not having the materials. Additionally, I have a passion for dolls, especially those from G1 Monster High. There's something enchanting about them and I appreciate their unique designs.

Another interest of mine is coin collecting. I find it fascinating to explore the stories behind each coin and the history they carry. It's like holding a piece of the past in my hands. I mainly focus on coins from my country but I am always looking for coins from different places and I got to say I have a soft spot for bimetallic coins.

When I'm not engrossed in my hobbies, you can often find me sketching and drawing. It's a therapeutic way for me to express my creativity and unwind.

I'm excited about the prospect of sharing more about our lives through these digital letters. What are some of your favorite pastimes? I look forward to getting to know you better.

Best regards, Val

Reasons I Present Femme Online

My femme side is "older" b/c she has more experience expressing herself in public, therefore it feels safer to share her with the world.

I rarely wear makeup or femme clothing, so presenting femme online creates a separation between digital life and meat life.

My femme side has been sexualized since childhood thanks to living in patriarchy, so claiming my sexual autonomy with this persona is therapeutic and empowering.

I really hope one day I will be confident enough and feel safe enough in my IRL community that I can share more of my masc side as well. I think he's also quite beautiful, creative, and sexy. He deserves to be seen when the time is right, but he's not ready. That's ok. He is very visible in my day-to-day life, and I love him. If he wants to be seen online, I trust that he will let me know.

Here are some affirmations I'm using during this phase of my growth:

I give myself permission to take my time exploring and exercising different parts of myself, and I choose to do so in ways that are erotically affirming to me.

I share the parts of myself that desire to be seen.

I protect the parts of myself that desire safety.

I follow the flow of energy that is joyful, erotic, inspiring, and life-giving.

I am worthy of love.

I am worthy of money.

I am worthy of pleasure.

I am worthy of self-expression.

I am powerful. I am changing the world.

Journaling has a rich history that spans centuries and has played a significant role in personal expression, self-reflection, and creativity. While its origins can be traced back to ancient civilizations, such as the Roman Empire and ancient China, journaling took various forms and purposes throughout history. However, it wasn't until recent centuries that the practice gained recognition for its importance in the lives of women.

In earlier times, women's voices and experiences were often marginalized or silenced. They were expected to conform to societal norms and fulfill specific roles and responsibilities. Journaling provided a private space where women could freely express their thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment or censorship. It became a sanctuary where they could assert their individuality and explore their inner lives.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, women's journals became powerful tools for self-discovery, self-expression, and personal growth. Prominent female writers and thinkers, such as Virginia Woolf and Anne Frank, used their journals as a means to explore their identities, record their observations, and reflect on the world around them. These journals not only served as historical documents but also offered invaluable insights into the complexities of women's lives during those times.

In addition to personal expression, journaling has been instrumental in women's empowerment and the feminist movement. Women used their journals to articulate their aspirations, challenge societal expectations, and document their struggles. Through journaling, they were able to reclaim their narratives, assert their agency, and connect with other like-minded women. These personal narratives served as a source of inspiration, validation, and solidarity among women facing similar challenges.

Moreover, journaling has played a crucial role in women's mental health and well-being. By putting pen to paper, women have found solace, relief, and healing. Journaling offers a safe space for introspection, self-care, and processing emotions. It allows women to delve into their thoughts, gain self-awareness, and navigate life's complexities. The act of journaling itself can be therapeutic, offering a sense of release and perspective.

In contemporary times, the significance of journaling for women continues to grow. With the advent of digital platforms and online communities, women now have more avenues than ever to share their stories, connect with others, and amplify their voices. Journaling has evolved from private diaries to public blogs, social media posts, and online communities, providing opportunities for women to forge connections and make their experiences heard on a global scale.

In conclusion, journaling has a long and important history for women. It has served as a vehicle for self-expression, empowerment, and personal growth. Through journaling, women have been able to reclaim their narratives, challenge societal norms, and foster connections with others. Moreover, it has provided a powerful tool for self-reflection and mental well-being. As women continue to navigate their unique journeys, journaling remains a valuable practice that celebrates their individuality, preserves their stories, and paves the way for future generations of women.

Hello and thanks for stopping by!

My name is Nick Koriagin, I'm a self-taught graphic designer originally from Russia (no, I have never supported Vladimir Putin's mad regime and yes, people like me exist). I've always been finding some therapeutic joy and kind of escapism in creative works. In 13-14, I've started doing some primitive 3D art, in 14-15 - some music, been drawing as long as I remember. Now things has changed, but I still hope to get back to digital drawing and learn Blender, as well as get back to the Unreal Engine-based game project I've started a year ago and left as a prototype. (Also, I had a dream of making an animation film based on my script, but it's a long shot) If things get lucky, I'll keep you posted about any of these in this little blog in English.

But now my main focus is finishing my own book. It's a sci-fi/adventure novel I've been planning for ages. I have a detailed plan, established characters with arcs and lots of stuff to make the story as good as I can; my goal is to make a good old fashion story with a modern approach to recreate the feel of a golden age of science fiction, the books I've grown up on, something that helped me to get trough showing incredible worlds, brave heroes and creative solutions of dangerous problems.

My book is a story of an old British scientist who find himself in a lowest point of his life in 1966, but a series of events and help of new friends from around the world helps him to get up and start a new thrilling adventure solving the mystery that can change the fate of an entire world.

(Images generated by Stable Diffusion)

What's the current progress for a book? It has 27 chapters and four parts, part I of chapters 1-9 is done, part 2 is in progress with chapters 10-11 done. Now I'm writing chapter 12, and I'll definitely let you know once it will be finished. (It's a great way to keep motivation by sharing some finished progress with people around)

(image generated by Stable Diffusion)

The last thing to mention, the book is currently in Russian, but I'm planning to translate it in English with help of my dear friend @emmalenalouisaellis and hopefully publish it in English-speaking market (because I'm afraid I'll have to censor some parts in Russian version, and I wouldn't love that at all).

Thank you for your time, and hope you'll have a great day ahead.

Sincerely, Nick Koriagin.

P.S. Moving out of dying Twitter feels fantastic. Great job, Elon Musk.

Obesity Market Overview: Global Trends, Key Drivers, and Market Outlook

The global obesity market has experienced significant growth over the past decade due to a rise in obesity rates, which is recognized as a major public health concern worldwide. Obesity, characterized by excessive body fat that increases the risk of numerous health issues, has led to rising demand for therapeutic interventions, pharmaceuticals, and lifestyle management solutions.

Understanding the Role and Importance of a Mental Health Counseling Agency

Mental health is an essential aspect of our well-being, yet it’s often overlooked or misunderstood. In recent years, mental health counseling agencies have become vital resources in communities, offering support and guidance to individuals facing mental health challenges. These agencies provide professional services to help people manage, understand, and overcome mental health issues. Let’s take a closer look at what a mental health counseling agency is, the services it offers, and the benefits it brings to individuals and society.

What is a Mental Health Counseling Agency?

A mental health counseling agency is an organization dedicated to offering therapeutic support and counseling to individuals struggling with various mental health issues. These agencies are often staffed with licensed counselors, psychologists, and social workers trained to provide evidence-based mental health services. Their goal is to help clients address emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues, fostering an environment of understanding and healing.

These agencies can be found in various settings, including community centers, hospitals, private clinics, schools, and online platforms. Many mental health counseling agencies also work with public health systems to offer services that are affordable or even free to those in need.

Services Offered by Mental Health Counseling Agencies

Mental health counseling agencies provide a range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs of their clients. Some of the common services include:

1. Individual Counseling: This is one-on-one counseling where clients work closely with a therapist to explore and address personal issues. Topics can range from anxiety and depression to self-esteem and anger management. Individual counseling offers a safe space for clients to express their feelings and gain coping strategies.

2. Group Therapy: In group therapy, individuals with similar mental health concerns come together to share experiences and support each other under the guidance of a therapist. This type of therapy can be highly effective, as it fosters a sense of community and shared understanding.

3. Family Counseling: Mental health issues can affect entire families, not just individuals. Family counseling is designed to help family members improve communication, resolve conflicts, and build stronger relationships. It’s often used in cases of family trauma, grief, or substance abuse.

4. Crisis Intervention: For individuals experiencing a mental health crisis, such as severe panic attacks or suicidal thoughts, mental health counseling agencies provide immediate support and intervention. Crisis counselors are trained to stabilize the situation and help the individual find longer-term support if necessary.

5. Substance Abuse Counseling: Many mental health counseling agencies offer specialized services for individuals struggling with addiction. Substance abuse counseling helps clients understand the root causes of their addiction and provides tools for maintaining sobriety.

6. Workshops and Education Programs: Many agencies provide workshops and education sessions to promote mental health awareness and teach valuable life skills. Topics may include stress management, mindfulness, communication skills, and conflict resolution.

7. Online Counseling: With the rise of digital platforms, many agencies offer virtual counseling sessions, making it easier for individuals to access support from home. This is particularly valuable for those in remote areas or with limited mobility.

Why Mental Health Counseling Agencies are Essential

Mental health counseling agencies play a crucial role in society by offering support that many individuals cannot find elsewhere. Here’s why they’re so important:

1. Breaking the Stigma of Mental Health Issues : Mental health counseling agencies help break down the stigma surrounding mental health issues. By offering accessible services and fostering open dialogue, these agencies promote the idea that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

2. Promoting Overall Well-Being: Mental health and physical health are closely linked. Addressing mental health issues can lead to improvements in overall well-being, including physical health, relationships, and career performance.

3. Providing Early Intervention: Early intervention is critical for effectively treating many mental health disorders. Mental health counseling agencies are often the first line of support, helping people address problems before they escalate.

4. Reducing Social Issues: Mental health issues are often linked to other social problems, such as homelessness, unemployment, and substance abuse. By helping individuals address their mental health challenges, counseling agencies contribute to reducing these larger social issues.

5. Offering a Sense of Community and Support: For many people, a mental health counseling agency offers a community where they can feel understood and supported. Group therapy, workshops, and other group activities foster a sense of belonging that is crucial for mental well-being.

How to Find a Mental Health Counseling Agency

Finding the right mental health counseling agency is a significant first step towards improved mental health. Here are some ways to start:

Research Local Agencies: Begin by researching local mental health counseling agencies. Look for agencies with licensed professionals who specialize in the area you need support with.

Consider Online Counseling Options: For those with busy schedules or limited access to local agencies, online counseling options can be a convenient and effective alternative.

Ask for Referrals: Friends, family, or your primary care doctor can be excellent sources of referrals.

Evaluate the Agency's Approach: Different agencies may use different therapeutic approaches. It’s worth exploring options like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, or psychoanalysis to find an approach that aligns with your preferences.

As society continues to understand and prioritize mental health, these agencies are positioned to play an even larger role in creating healthier, happier communities. If you or someone you know could benefit from professional mental health support, consider reaching out to a local mental health counseling agency — taking that first step can be life-changing.

Mental health counseling agencies provide a critical service, offering individuals a path to improved mental well-being and a more fulfilling life. By creating a supportive environment, these agencies encourage individuals to confront their challenges, learn effective coping mechanisms, and build resilience.

The Importance of Having a Blog

Introduction

In the digital age, the significance of self-expression and personal branding cannot be understated. One of the most effective ways to express thoughts, share insights, and establish a personal or professional brand is through blogging. A blog serves as a versatile platform that accommodates a wide range of purposes, from documenting daily activities to offering deep analyses in specific fields. This essay explores three key reasons for maintaining a blog: personal development, professional growth, and community building.

Personal Development

Firstly, blogs are excellent tools for personal development. Writing regularly helps individuals improve their communication skills, refine their voice, and enhance their ability to articulate ideas clearly and effectively. This process of articulating thoughts can lead to greater self-understanding and self-expression, contributing positively to an individual's personal growth.

Moreover, blogging encourages consistency and discipline. Regularly updating a blog requires a commitment that cultivates a habit of writing. This discipline can spill over into other areas of life, aiding in productivity and time management. Additionally, blogging can serve as a therapeutic outlet, allowing individuals to release emotions, reflect on personal experiences, and process complex thoughts and feelings in a structured way.

Professional Growth

In terms of professional growth, blogging offers numerous advantages. It provides a platform to showcase expertise, allowing bloggers to build credibility and authority in their respective fields. By sharing insights, research, and analyses, a blogger can position themselves as a thought leader, attracting opportunities for collaboration, speaking engagements, or even career advancement.

Furthermore, a well-maintained blog can serve as an effective resume and networking tool. Potential employers or clients often look for candidates who can demonstrate knowledge and expertise in their industries. A blog provides concrete evidence of a person's abilities and knowledge, showcasing their analytical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills.

Additionally, blogging can expand one's professional network. Through engaging content and interactions in the comment section, relationships can be built with fellow bloggers, readers, and industry leaders. Such networking opportunities can lead to collaborations and partnerships that further professional aspirations.

Community Building

Lastly, having a blog plays a crucial role in community building. It allows individuals to connect with like-minded people, fostering a sense of belonging. By sharing experiences, opinions, and information, bloggers can engage with communities who share similar interests or who are seeking advice and guidance.

Blogs also serve as platforms for fostering discussions and knowledge exchange. Through interactions in comments and social shares, complex conversations can be facilitated, enriching the reader's and the blogger's perspectives. Moreover, a blog provides a space for individuals to contribute to larger societal discussions, advocating for causes or shedding light on important issues.

Conclusion

In conclusion, having a blog offers several personal, professional, and communal benefits. It is a powerful tool for personal development, allowing for the honing of communication skills and self-expression. Professionally, it serves as a platform for showcasing expertise, networking, and building authority. Additionally, it plays a significant role in community building, connecting individuals with similar interests and fostering meaningful dialogues. In the digital era, where information and connection are paramount, blogging remains a vital and influential medium.
