Dream's boundaries, with time stamps.
youtube
I'm seeing a lot of discussion about what Dream actually said in his video about his boundaries, reinventing what he said, paraphrasing, so here is everything he mentioned about them, with time stamps! If something he says is repeated in writing in the background, i will not mention it.
Actual quotes will be in quotation marks, anything that is displayed in text in the background of the video with be in [brackets].
While talking about the fanart account:
"I never supported NSFW art of minors or from minors. I think that that's weird and gross." [That's disgusting] (16:21 - 16:28)
"Generally it's just, I don't want anything weird drawn of me." (16:29 - 16:32)
Context: "I think it's incredibly unhealthy to be obsessive with someone, and I also think it's clear to anyone that's stepping back and looking at these situations, that people obsessively hate me, and are making up lies about me, which is also because of parasocialness. Parasocial love, turned to parasocial hate. And I have no doubt that the anonymous people making these fake allegations were once big fans of mine." (1:19:14 - 1:19:29)
Context: "i think part of why I'm in the position that I'm in right now, is because I started pulling away from my fans after my face reveal. Meeting fans in person made things much more real and i wasn't so chronically online anymore cause I actually had real life, and things to do. I think the fact that I'm a pretty relaxed person overall that has relaxed boundaries has encouraged that type of behavior too, so I'm just gonna re-clarify some of my boundaries." (1:19:41 - 1:20:01)
[I'm pretty relaxed. It takes a lot to bother me.] [But just because it doesn't bother me, doesn't mean it's okay] (1:19:55 - 1:20:00)
"One: I don't support any sexually explicit art of me or my friends. It never bothered me personally that much 'cause I don't really care about anything, but it is just weird. Especially if you're a minor nd drawing anything like that. That's gross. I don't support anything inappropriate from minors at all. Art, tiktoks, comments, anything. It's gross." [I don't support any NSFW art of me] [If you're a minor, do not engage sexually as a fan whatsoever, that's gross & unsafe] (1:20:01 - 1:20:16)
"Two: Serious shipping is bad. I think that prying into people's private relationships, being deeply speculative, or anything like that is terrible. I don't mind jokes, I don't mind doing it for fun, but anything serious really crosses the line." (1:20:16 - 1:20:27)
"Again I've always found it funny being shipped with George, because we're not dating. We're friends. But if you genuinely think we're dating and it's part of your personality, you need to get off the internet. That is not healthy." (1:20:27 - 1:20:37)
"I'm sure I'll make more clarifications in the future, but I just don't want anything weird. Don't obsess over me or my friends." (1:20:37 - 1:20:43)
Context: [Sometimes you guys being odd can make me look odd] (1:20:49)
"Be the passionate fan, not the stalker obsessive fan." (1:20:50)
If i missed anything, please let me know!

This is gonna sound weird but I had a very vivid fever-induced dream about Pangur. I was standing in a lake surrounded my forests and mountains at night. The moon was so bright but there were no stars. And then Pangur came over the mountain but she was so long like Falkor Neverending Story and she had so many legs and big sad eyes downturned like a 20s movie star and big purple eyelashes.
She was circling around me in the sky like some majestic sky worm and said in a voice that sounded like Helen Mirren “it’s 20% off on Wednesday”. I kept asking her what was 20% off but she kept saying things like “it’s a good deal for a Wednesday” and “you should take the offer while it’s hot”.
So anyway I’m taking that as a sign to buy something stupid that’s 20% off on Wednesday thanks Pangur
this seems like an elaborate way of getting me to do a 20% off sale but okay, I'll bite!
Pangur says "use the code 'GoodDeal' at greerstothers.shop"

@arialerendeair keeps giving me ideas to springboard off of XD
final image was referenced from Calvin and Hobbes :3
#he drank the water#listen I love the trope of Dream offering Hob a boon or service#out of some warped logic that Hob expects something later#and its so sweet when Hob says Dream “owes him nothing”#but the funnier and more unhinged option is for Hob to immediately order Dream to practice self care.#Dream: “wait no that's illegal!”#I also love the concept of Dream suspiciously theory crafting why Hob is being kind#only for his hypotheses to get struck down with increasing hilarity#this is good for Dream though#he's testing his new boundaries#horse girl au#the sandman#the art tag#dreamling#hob gadling#dream of the endless#centaur!dream#centaurs

how to protect urself and stop breaking ur own heart⋆.ೃ࿔*:・🍡
in this world its crucial to learn urself wholly so that u can protect urself in the best way possible. ofc u won't be able to protect urself from everything because some situations are opportunities to grow which is what life is all about. but lets talk about protecting urself and how to NOT break ur own heart…💬🎀
LEAVE THE PAST WHERE IT IS ;
first thing i wanna touch on is STOP checking on ppl that no longer have space in ur life. its just so stagnant and useless like why do u care? if u have enough time to check on someone from YEARSS ago (especially if this someone did u wrong) then ur wasting time that u won't get back. go spend ur time on something useful like affirming.
i feel like this also encompasses not trying to change people. respect a person for who they are -> not what u hope they will become. dont be friends or get into a relationship with someone for potential because they won't grow and evolve unless they WANT to. if ur thinking "oh just give them time, they have potential" or "they'll change, they won't keep hurting and disregarding my feelings" then ur just wasting ur time.
ALSO it doesnt matter if ur excuse is that you've known each other for a long time, ur allowed to leave relationships, situationships, friendships that no longer serve you its YOUR life. ur 100% allowed.
LEARN URSELF ;
by becoming aware of what u value, what triggers you, ur boundaries etc you can stay true to that and protect urself better. something that u can do to help you to learn yourself + how to protect urself is
make a list of things that u LIKE or are OKAY with. things that make u feel good. then make a list of things that make u feel bad and things that u don’t like…💬🎀
stay true to that list. when u understand urself and ur triggers u can protect urself better. live privately because what ppl don’t know they can’t ruin. not everyone has to know ur business, which leads me to my next point.
WHAT PEOPLE DONT KNOW, THEY CANT RUIN ;
dont put ur business out there for everyone ALL the time. privacy is power and the more private u are the less people will have to try and sabotage u because not everyone wants the best for you. when u tell everyone everything that makes you vulnerable and vulnerability can be good when building meaningful relationships and connections, you should NOT be vulnerable with every single person.
USE UR INTUITION ;
what u can't immediately sense YOUR BODY CAN. thats why we have things like gut feelings and hunches that often times are correct. ur intuition is like, everything that u know or have experienced subconsciously that u might not be able to recollect quickly, but ur body can. thats why its there.

the best thing maggie stiefvater ever did was NOT having ronan dream a magical device that would "fix" adam's hearing. the best thing maggie ever did was adam knowing that he did not need or want to be "fixed". the best thing maggie ever did was ronan knowing that adam did not want or need to be fixed and accepting it without a second thought.
#been thinking about this lately#ronan dreams adam so many fix-it objects but never tries to fix anything that adam doesn't want 'fixed'#or that don't need to be 'fixed'#because both ronan and maggie know that that would be a boundary that couldn't be uncrossed for adam or for any disabled person#anyway#adam parrish#ronan lynch#the raven cycle#the dreamer trilogy#trc#tdt#pynch

🩷🌸PROTECT YOUR ENERGY🌸🩷
🩷🌸Your energy is sacred and precious. It is so important to protect, cherish and nourish your energy in this chaotic world. Stop giving away your energy as if it is not valuable and precious currency. Do not give away your energy to mindlessly consuming things on the internet or to other people. Stop being always available. Not everything or everyone needs our response🩷🌸
🩷DO NOT DWELL ON THE NEGATIVE
Stop giving your energy and attention to things you do not want to see. Focus on the positive things , shift from complaining to gratitude. You can also repeat the mantra -
" I am now through my sovereign divine right calling back my power and my energy from all the people , places and past events where I have given my energy away consciously or unconsciously where my energy has been taken without my consent or with my consent. I call back my energy now . "
🌸SET BOUNDARIES
Boundaries are more about you than other people. If you have a diamond at home , you will protect it , right ? Similarly, your energy is ad precious and valuable as a diamond. Protect it. I made a post on summary of Tam Kaur video on boundaries. I would suggest you to read it. Click me !!!
🩷SELF-CARE
Make self-care your daily ritual. Workout , Meditate , Do Yoga , Mirrorwork , listen to Guided meditation and do breath-work. These things work miraculously. It is the little things that matter.
🌸BE MINDFUL
Be mindful of what you consume. On social media , there are people who feed on negativity . On youtube , you may find some youtubers who love to feed on negativity and offend people to get views and engagement. Please do not waste your time watching those youtubers , watch youtubers who inspire you , it can be the wizard liz , if you want to take inspiration for mindset or it can be a productive vlog . Anything which will inspire you and help you to level up in your life. I would recommend you to check out these two posts where I mentioned youtubers who can help you to be motivated and productive - click me and click me !! Unfollow influencer or celebrities you do not like , give you bad vibes or make you feel insecure. Follow content which will motivate and educate you. Do not engage in a conversation with toxic people. Let them be. Limit your exposure to negative influences. Do not be friends with anyone , not everyone deserves your attention and energy.
🩷DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING PERSONALLY
It is never personal. Whatever people say about you , it is not about you. It is a reflection about them .
🌸CLEAN YOUR SELF-TALK
You do not have to believe everything you think. You have the right to choose what you believe. Write down your negative thoughts and switch them with positive ones.
I cannot do this -- I can do anything I put my mind into .
No one believes in me --- I believe in myself and that is enough.
🩷TAKE A BREAK
Stop mindlessly scrolling . Take a break from social media. Social media can be extremely draining. Put a time limit on social media. Be as intentional you can be about the media you consume. Follow positive influencers which will motivate and educate you.
🌸GRATITUDE
" A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles ".
When was the last time you were truly grateful for what you have ? Here is a small thing you need to do - before going to bed , think about the five things you are grateful for.Thank God or Universe for the blessings. Shift your focus from complaining to gratitude.
🩷FIND HEALTHY COPING MECHANISMS
Over-eating , smoking or drowning yourself in alcohol to numb your emotions will not heal you. Be courageous enough to deal with your emotions. Journal your emotions , do shadow work , meditate , cry or exercise. Adopt healthy coping mechanisms , they will help you in future too.
🌸CHOOSE YOURSELF
Choose yourself. Put yourself first.Be your own best friend. Be your biggest fan. Put your needs and wants first. You can never leave you , you will always be there for yourself.
🩷UNDERSTAND WHEN YOUR THOUGHTS ARE NOT YOURS.
Sometimes our thoughts do not belong to us , they belong to some comment we read on internet . Ask yourself- " Are these really my thoughts ? " . If the answer is no , do not entertain those thoughts and let them go.
🌸🩷That is all for today. I hope this post helped you. Do not just read and like this post , apply the tips too ! Please protect your energy , it is precious , so are you !!!!🩷🌸

GLOW UP DIARY #4 : THE IMPORTANCE OF BOUNDARIES
"when u laugh,u think more positively"
-Park sunghoon (enhypen)
© bloomzone
#4 BOUNDARIES
💬:Boundaries are limits we set for ourselves. Everyone's boundaries are different, and they are based on what is personally important to us. They can be set in several aspects of life, such as work, relationships, family, and in conflict it can be physical or emotional limits and help to determine a person's comfort level, needs, and preferences. Essentially, boundaries dictate how we want/ allow ourselves to be treated, and how we treat others. Healthy boundaries allow for accountability, respect, and open communication.
Drawing the Line: Understanding and Setting Healthy Boundaries
﹙ 💌 ﹚ If you grew up in a home where no boundaries were set or where people violated your boundaries, setting and maintaining boundaries may be difficult. It is okay if it is hard. Setting clear boundaries is not selfish, it sets the tone for healthy relationships and is an important part of one's own well being. If you ever notice you feel resentful or drained by a person/place/situation, it may be time to look at the boundaries. Remember, boundaries are not threats or ultimatums. Sometimes it is hard for other's to respect our boundaries, but this is not a reflection of you.
Healthy boundaries look like...
• valuing your own opinion
• respecting limits set by you/ others
• not compromising own values for someone else
• sharing information appropriately
• effectively communicating needs/wants
• accepting "no" from others
• being able to say "no"
• being able to identify when a boundary has been broken
TYPE OF BOUNDARIES
Physical Boundaries: These relate to personal space, physical touch, and privacy. Examples include not wanting to be hugged or feeling uncomfortable being touched without permission. "I need personal space and don't appreciate being touched without consent."
Emotional Boundaries: These separate your emotions and responsibilities from others. Examples include not allowing yourself to be blamed for someone else's issues or not taking on other people's problems. "I'm not comfortable discussing my personal feelings right now."
Mental Boundaries: These protect your beliefs, opinions, and identity from being violated. Examples include not arguing about your values or not allowing others to belittle your thoughts and ideas. "I respect your opinion, but I disagree and prefer not to discuss this further."
(there is a lot of types but I focused on these 3)
How to set boundaries
Setting boundaries may take time and practice. Don't get down on yourself if it feels hard.
1. Identify what behaviors from others is acceptable for you, and what might cause discomfort
2. Clearly communicate your boundaries with others. Learn to say no and be assertive.
3. Decide what to do if someone breaks your boundaries. This may mean a tough discussion, taking time away, or ending a relationship.
4. Get clear on your values, needs, and limits. Reflect on what's most important to you and where you need to draw lines.
5. Start small if it's hard at first. Practice with something minor before bigger issues.
6. Use "I" statements to explain your boundary without blaming, like "I'm not comfortable with..."
7. Be direct, firm, and respectful when stating your boundary. Don't over-explain or get defensive.
8. You can't control others' reactions, but you can control how you respond. Calmly reinforce the boundary if needed.
9. Be consistent in upholding your boundaries. If you allow them to be crossed, they won't be taken seriously.
ıllı ⠀ : ⠀ Remember setting and maintaining boundaries is not about controlling others but about creating a space where respectful and healthy interactions can thrive. ❛ ⠀ ♡ ⠀ !!

can we have one good awakening alt before EOS please. just a crumb of recognition for my bisexual angel and her butch wife. just one tiny reference to the canonical girlprince homoeroticism sumia got to enjoy during the harvest scramble
Sumia: I know it's silly...but this whole thing is just SO alluring! I mean, men have their own unique appeal, and women do too, right? But combine them both, and you get the best of both worlds! The beauty of the female form, with the magnetic appeal of a handsome man... If we can pull this off, you'll be like a dashing prince from a fairy tale!
(FEH summon simulator here)
#sumia#sully#sulmia#fire emblem heroes#fire emblem awakening#feem bleem#Sully: I mean I don't mind but is this the right thing to wear this to the bride festival?#Sumia: But you look so good in men's clothing! Nearly everyone says so. It's an elegant seductive#world that transcends the boundaries of gender itself!#im jesting i know heroes would never reference this. because no one making heroes has ever played an fe game#but let me dream of this elegant and seductive world that transcends the boundaries of gender itself. let sumia dream about it too

[ID: a digital drawing of characters from the owl house based on the song "up the wolves" by the mountain goats. At the top of the drawing there's a rectangular panel showing Camila and Eda. Camila looks out at the boiling isles at night with her bat. Eda mirrors her pose, with her arm covered in feathers. Shadows form to look like the collectors face, covering Eda's eyes and parts of Camila. Beneath this panel is a star with King and the Collector inside of it, holding hands and spinning midair. Beneath this is the archway portal from thanks to them, which is glowing, and at the bottom of the image is the hexsquad lined up in their designs from for the future, lit by the portal light and looking determinedly into the distance. The lyrics that span the image are "our mother has been absent/ever since we founded Rome/but there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home". The background is black. End ID]
I knew I couldn't say goodbye to this show without redrawing one of my favorite old pieces, this lyric comic based on Up The Wolves by the mountain goats. I made it pre-ttt and was honestly really vindicated by all the wolf imagery that ep, lmao
#the owl house#toh#toh spoilers#watching and dreaming#luz noceda#hunter toh#willow park#amity blight#gus porter#eda clawthorne#king clawthorne#the collector toh#camila noceda#I REALLY DID DRAW 9 CHARACTERS FOR THIS DIDN'T I#hate this fucking show and the way it has constantly inspired me to push my own artistic boundaries. mad as hell about that#i don't have time for a full-on tag ramble rn but just know that i am so fucking sad about this show ending and fighting with myself#bc it feels like it'd be so much easier to like. shut my love for it off??? in order to not feel as bad about it ending#I've had a year or so with it (barely tho) surely this can satisfy me#but that's just. straight up not true and makes me feel bad in a whole different way#it is weird!! it's weird that this show I've watched 5 times over is ending and i might never get anything else from it#but I'm not gonna let that sour the show or fandom as a whole for me?? if that makes sense#i love this show top to bottom front to back. not bc it's perfect but bc it sees me and i love it for that#also it's really funny and beautiful and well written and. just.

This is just my opinion, but ya’ll really need to stop tagging Dream Along With Me fan content as Welcome Home. This is something I see time and time again and not only is it inaccurate, but it undermines what Mage is trying to build for themselves because it perpetuates confusion and ill-advised comparisons.
Both are indie projects with their own vision, and ought to be treated with respect. I honestly think this should apply to all other puppet adjacent projects as well.
#especially when your fan content has nothing to do with any other project#I understand some of these might be default tags but that doesn’t make it okay in my eyes#boundaries#dream along with me

🎀🤍KNOW YOUR WORTH🤍🎀
🤍" In order to be valuable to others , we need to be valuable to ourselves first " -The Wizard Liz
🎀To develop self-worth, you must realize that it is not extrinsic but intrinsic. It was present since the day you were born . You will not find your self-worth in other people or their opinions. Self-worth is innate , it comes from within.
🤍Your value does not come from your status or followers . It does not come from anything that is external , it is always intrinsic. You have control over your self-worth. Nothing or no one can make you feel bad without your consent. We all have the same level of intrinsic value , the problem is not everybody sees it.
🎀When God created you , he did not put your value in your grades , skin color , in size of your nose or flesh . He put your value in your spirit. Your spirit was made in the image of God. Understand how valuable you are , you were created in the image of an eternal , infinite and omnipotent God.
🤍If you do not acknowledge your worth , you will sell yourself short. If you start valuing yourself , others will start valuing yourself. If you know your worth or value , you will have high -standards . You will not be desperate, you will be highly-selective with who you allow in your inner circle and life. Don't allow everyone to have access to you or your energy.
🎀Never try to find your self-worth in other people's opinions . If you allow other people's opinions control how you feel , you are giving them your power. You will become their puppet . Be strong in yourself , know your worth and never settle for less. Never ever make your value go down because of anyone or anything.
🤍You matter , you are important and precious. It does not matter who made you feel small . You have the power to make your confidence go back up. Start acting like you matter because you do !
🎀The Universe wants you to know your worth , If you ignore the Universe's message, it will continue to be louder. You will continue to attract people who will mistreat you and treat you as if you are less than them.
🤍If I crush or beat 20$ , it would still have it's inherent value. Right ? You must know your value and not try to find your value in others or their opinions or how they treat you. How others treat you is a reflection of them , it is never personal.
🎀To cultivate a sense of worth, shift your focus to your strengths , believe in yourself and be clear about your values - have boundaries for yourself , speak up for yourself and find ways to validate yourself. You can also use affirmations to develop self-worth. Tell yourself, " I know my self-worth " .
🤍Never underestimate your self- worth . Know and own your self-worth . Refuse to be treated any lower than what you deserve. You are worthy of love and happiness . You deserve the best life !

Femme Fatale Guide: How To Handle Rude People & Insulting Comments With Class
Table of Contents:
Stop taking things personally
Seek clarity, not competition
(Calmly) Share your truth when necessary
De-escalate, disengage, and/or redirect the interaction
How To Handle Insults & Rude People With Class:
Stop taking things personally. Other people's hostility is a coping mechanism for their lack of inner work and healing.
Seek clarity, not competition. Most of the time, people's insults are intentional. They usually want to get an emotional reaction out of you. They want to feed their ego and underlying needs for validation rather than seek to add value or facilitate connection through their words and conversations. Rather than get defensive, call out the behavior by asking the perpetrator of the negative comment to explain the implication of their statement. Play a little dumb and ask "What did you mean by that?" Allow those with bad intentions to tell on themselves. Most people with some degree of self-awareness will either try to gloss over and move on from their comment after seeing that you're too secure with yourself to entertain these low-value comments. Individuals who use this desire for clarity as an opportunity to overexplain their rude commentary almost always tell on themselves – their motives, insecurities, and deep need for self-acceptance and social validation.
(Calmly) Share your truth when necessary. If someone is trying to spread lies about you, discredit your reputation, or defame your character, state the facts about the situation without bringing emotions into the discussion or conflict. Remember: Remaining unbothered does not equate to being a doormat. Stand up for yourself –speak using a neutral tone and only state facts about yourself, your actions, conversations, or any logistics related to the given situation. Do not make accusations or assumptions about the person or the rude commentary they've made. Present their words and actions in a clinical, matter-of-fact manner to show the faulty of their logic rather than firing back with an equally-detrimental attempt to defame their character or give them the social spotlight and attention they're looking for in the moment.
De-escalate, disengage, and/or redirect the interaction. Don't allow their rude behavior to affect your external presence. Try your absolute best to not appear frustrated, raise your voice, or throw back any negative comments. Agree to disagree. Express the pettiness of this conflict. Either walk away or move on to another topic of conversation. Remind yourself that you're dealing with a wounded person. Feeding into their rude commentary is only deepening the cracks and encouraging these negative patterns of behavior.
Validate your emotions. Seek emotional support if necessary. Dealing with combative people can be draining, so remember that it is okay to feel hurt, depleted, sad, or any other negative emotions after the interaction. Schedule a therapy appointment or confide in a trusted member of your support system if you need to talk these matters out to release some of the emotional stress or tension.
