I love this phrase so much because it encapsulates the essence of what separates a child from an adult. When a kid is wrong, they’ll throw a tantrum, leave the issue unresolved, and others are left dealing with the consequences. When an adult is wrong, sure they may whine and bitch for a bit like the kid, but when they finish they pick themselves up, and clean up whatever the mess is (literal or not)

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

#I wish my parents heard this #So many people need to hear this #this should be taught to every kid in elementary school #imagine how well adjusted kids would be if they were taught from a young age #to be able to admit their wrong doing #or even some adults #like former us president Donald J. Trump

We all know Timmy is Wanda’s mama’s boy but we need to keep in mind he’s still Cosmo’s kid too and that Cosmo would love him just as vehemently as Wanda

#fairly oddparents #not that anyone has portrayed him different #certainly not distance he loves Timmy he probably says it the most in the show and in fanon #but still- watching New Wish there felt like there was a disconnect with Cosmos character-like he wasn’t as well defined as he was in OG #that’s in part due to them toning him down from being an idiot plain and simple but I feel like it wasn’t fitted with something else it was #simply taken away #just to say he didn’t have as much of a presence to me in New Wish as Wanda did and I crave spinning Cosmo around in my brain #I want to see Poof being his Dad’s Boy yknow and I want to see cosmo doting and I want to see when he gets like. parental rage for the sake #of his kids #yknow? Yknow? part of him feeling detached in a new wish has translated into him not wanting to get as close to Hazel as he did Timmy-#to try and play it more like godparents are supposed to- just a presence for a couple months #but also because like. he got SO attached to Timmy and he’ll never regret it and he’d never do anything different #but idk. if it were me I wouldn’t have the capacity to go through losing my godkid again after becoming that attached #that’s not even mentioning that they don’t HAVE to be in hazel’s life the same way they were in Timmy’s because Timmy was going through #neglect and Hazel has loving family and friends all around her at all times- her blocks are mental #in that way cosmo and Wanda just have to do the Typical Godparent Job of aiding her- not becoming people she desperately needs in life #which also bleeds into why I think Peri was having such a. difficult time #godparents aren’t supposed to be attached the way his family was to Timmy and that how he learned it #but his first godkid is Not Easy and lends immediately to the issues Timmy was having where he HAS parents he HAS things (though . Timmy #was not rich and would sometimes not be fed… dev’s dad also forgets to feed him but dev is still able to eat you know)#and how he grew up with his parents as godparents and how he’s been taught are conflicting and it’s nature vs doing a good job quoteunquote #I didn’t mean to ramble so damn much in the tags I’m really sorry #told myself if I had more to say I’d write it down and post it later but I must be heard.

i wish

i wish my irls listened to me more

#i only speak chaos₊ ⊹☆⋆｡★₊ ⊹#the queen of hearts' soliloquy₊˚⊹ ᥫ᭡.#in club today me and my bsfs were working in a trio for casting #but every time i suggested an idea theyd be like oh thats good but her ideas better #so because no one heard me out i ended up just being a side character helping them shine in our skits instead of actually getting my moment #and they only really listen when im venting and upset #and even then its not much #it happens to my mom too :(#i just wish #theyd stop and listen #which is why im working on opening up to my parents instead #because currently yall support and comfort me more than literally everyone else in my life does.

Atla live action 😐

#thats my honest reaction 😐#to be fair ive only seen 20 minutes of the s1 finale bc my parents are watching it but. mmmmm kinda mid #like. the casting is definitely an improvement since the last time they tried a live action but it feels like the writing falls flat #or maybe im being harsh bc ive only heard negative criticism on it beforehand. but fr anytime u bring up the original its already #good and not just because its the original. so much fucking detail went into it to the point of someone noticing azula wielding mai's knive #to how well thought out irohs character is used as a way of uniting the cast especially as zukos foil #i heard that sokkas sexism was toned down and i have to agree that feels like a cheap move. like i get WHY they think it would be better #but its not about how that reflects on real world its about how it affects the story. sokka starts out as a misogynistic asshole because #it makes it that much more impactful when he changes. toning that down makes it flatter and makes his character development weak #and someone pointed out they didnt even make him wear the kyoshi warrior uniform and i know it feels like such a small detail but #come on man. they did that in the original because not only does it help him really walk in their shoes - wearing 'feminine' clothing and #makeup and having suki explain its significance but it also ties in with the shows theme of harmony and intersectionality #i was also disappointed when they had the fire sages explain how the water tribe draws power from the moon because in the original it was #IROH who explained it to aang and everyone else BECAUSE we as the audience is under the impression hes with the 'bad guys'#and it builds up to how he learned from the other nations which reconciles his past as a war general and his character overall #AND its an excellent starting point for the cast and audience to understand how the nations arent as closed off as you would think #plus you would think its only fire nation doing propaganda but they expanded on that with earth kingdom censorship and it WORKS #a lot of things in the live action also feel arbitrary like. they gave momo a near death experience for 5 minutes for no reason #im firmly on the stance of bringing back filler moments instead of putting major events right after each other so that u give your #audience a sense of time passing and to really absorb the story. but i think thats more like shock value than filler and yeah its a small #thing to gripe about but those things build up and its really annoying. the thing abt avatar filler moments is that however small #its at least meaningful. hell even the beach episode emphasizes how isolated zuko and his friends are as child soldiers #i also swore to never watch the first live action since it was that bad but i really liked the stylized tattoos they used for aang #anyway. those arejust my thoughts. im not gonna watch the rest because im a ride or die for the original aftr growing up and #rewatching it at least 20 times as a kid. but theres definitely room for improvement and i wish ppl wouldnt take it as 'better' just cuz #netflix is adapting it. i wouldve killed for them to just reanimate the entire avatar series and touch NOTHING ELSE no redub #no changes to the story. just reanimate the thing and leave the rest alone and youd make easy money just the same #ALSO its very jarring not hearing jack desena and dante basco voicing sokka and zuko cause their voices were the most recognizable to me #i get that its because its live action but im allowed to feel a little sad abt that. and uncle irohs accent was really soothing #yapping

The weight of the world is a heavy burden

Especially for a child

(Or, in slightly less dramatic terms – I imagine that the first of her past lives that Avatar Suiren [who is the Avatar after Aang instead of Korra in my AU, and also Ghazan and Ming-Hua’s daughter] gets to talk to is Yangchen, because she is too plagued by memories not her own [including Jetsun’s death, fun fact]. And Yangchen wouldn’t want another child to go through what she did on their own)

(Or maybe someone just needed an excuse to draw @katkastrofa’s latest obsession in a context that interests them as well, just in time to maybe cheer her up a little? You can’t prove anything)

#my art #artists on tumblr #the legend of korra #Avatar Suiren AU #Kat and Nia and their multiverse of madness #yangchen #original character #sotrl suiren #if you’re wondering what the context is. Suiren is around 8 or 9 here. already having revealed herself as the Avatar to her parents #and it has been Hard. because as much as they try to maintain a sense of normalcy for her. it’s clear that things have changed #they never accounted for their daughter turning out to be the Avatar. they hoped Aang dying on the night she was born to be a coincidence #all of their plans now have to be rethought and put on hold because her safety is more important than anything else #she is never blamed for anything. she is still just as loved. yet there’s now a heaviness in their gazes whenever they look at her #the Avatar as a concept should not exist. it is too much power and responsibility for one being who is ultimately human #that’s what Suiren was taught. so what do those teachings mean if she’s the Avatar?#basically.. a whole lot of cognitive dissonance and she hasn’t even been alive for a decade yet #and all her life her head was filled by strange memories and dreams. fragments of lives not her own. sometimes nightmares #and usually her mama would comfort her through it but tonight… she just wants to be alone #so she wanders off. not too far. but enough that she wouldn’t be heard. and just softly cries #because it’s too much. because she doesn’t want to be the Avatar. why her? why not anyone else?#and as she whispers that she wishes she wasn’t the Avatar. her mind is assaulted by memories of previous Avatars saying the same thing #it really is a never ending cycle of too much burden being placed on a single person. but that realisation is anything but comforting #she begs for it to stop because that grief of life over life spent pushing a boulder uphill is just Too Much #and before she knows it. it ceases. only to be replaced by a blue glow visible even through closed eyelids #and a feather light touch of hands on her face. it doesn’t feel exactly like human hands by virtue of belonging to a spirit #that helps her relax a little. reminding her of mama’s touch. she looks at the person who appeared before her. her mind supplies the name #‘Avatar Yangchen?’. she whispers. but the woman is nowhere near as stoic and peaceful as she’s shown to be in every depiction of her #she looks.. sad. concerned. as burdened by grief as Suiren herself is. she’s not just a legendary figure from a time long gone #not yet another past life Suiren would never measure up to. she’s… human. capable of human emotion. just like Suiren is #I’m not sure how their conversation goes and have no inspiration to come up with anything. but I just wanted to draw them interacting

Y'all ever find a song that Hits and can't stop imagining an epic animation project with your OCs that will definitely never come to fruition because like

#LIKE REAL TALK WHY DIDNT I APPRECIATE THIS FILM IN MY CHILDHOOD #idc what anyone says this song is transmasc as FUCK and the way it fits my main boy Hamish is uncanny #'I am a question to the world/not an answer to be heard/or a moment that's held in your arms'#the idea of challenging (gender) norms and asking questions rather than simply answering to an authority #seeing themself as an individual rather than an extension of their parents' 'perfect baby' illusion they still have #THATS JUST THE FIRST FEW LINES #I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT HOW THIS SONG FITS HAMISH #SOMEONE SEND IN AN ASK BECAUSE IM NOT GONNA GO ON THAT TANGENT UNPROMPTED #GOD I wish I could animate

Sometimes it seems like the anti fandoms are more toxic than the actual fandom that the anti fandom people hate on, it's actually really sad.

MLP fans will know what I'm talking about

#I saw a post saying that they wish Taylor Swift's private jet would crash since that'd be upsetting towards her fans and people were saying #it's cause mass suicides which would be a good thing since Swifties are toxic #look. you can dislike a group of people/a fandom due to their behavior but that does NOT make it okay to say they should kill themselves.#I've seen lots of nasty posts about furries too #saying that people should kill furries like you would a deer (hunting) and saying that they should all die #just because you find something “cringe” doesn't mean it's okay to wish death upon people #someone pointed out that oftentimes hate towards furries (and other groups) is partially rooted in ableism (mostly towards autism) and LGBT #LGBTQ hate #since furries are oftentimes associated with those two groups #people hate on furries due to their hate on those other groups #there's really a lot of small forms of hate which cause even worse forms of hate #you can find something “cringe” but that does NOT make it okay to wish death towards people. especially those in groups oftentimes victims #victims of oppression #autistic lesbian here and I've heard many stories about autistic people being killed by their parents or caretakers #and sometimes I'm genuinely scared for my life #I loooooove my parents they really take good care of me but I've dealt with some absolutely horrible teachers #ramble over. I just had to get this off of my chest #I've been seeing a lot of negativity lately

i found loads of pictures of my uncle i am going 2 cry

#he looked so sweet…..he looks SO much like my dad #i found the last picture of him that my granddad took a month or so before he died it’s so sad #trying to decide if i should tell my mum that i know about him or if i should just keep it to myself #idk if somethings wrong with me maybe it’s because i was already grieving before i found out #but it’s really getting 2 me i can’t concentrate on my uni shit i just keep thinking about it #i think i rlly need to talk about it with someone but i have no idea who or how or what i’d say. but it’s weird because it’s a secret yk #like i’m not even supposed to know he existed #idk. i have a gender clinic appointment next week and i’m going to ask if they can recommend any therapists #me being very very brave and trying therapy again after being forced into it my whole life and ending up a bit traumatised #idk. i feel bad that i’m alive and i’m wasting my life when my uncle got killed when he was just a kid #it makes me feel like i should be more grateful and do more with myself.#and i am going to try but i’d rather he was here instead. same with my granddad #every time i experience something beautiful or good i wish my granddad could experience it because he deserved it more than me #and the best i can do is experience it for him and be grateful. but i would chance places instantly if i could #him and his kid deserve to be here they were so special. i know i don’t know his kid but i’ve heard they were similar #so i know he must have been special too #i found a fb comment today from a family friend i’ve never met and she was saying that she only met my granddad once #but she called him gentle and it made me cry. because he was very scottish and sweary and traditional and masculine #so everyone just assumed he was tough and scary but if you knew him he was really quiet and kind #and i’m glad someone who only met him once could see that #i’m going to be half asleep for the rest of my life i think. i’ve been dreaming since my granddad died and i don’t feel like i ever woke up #nothing has felt real since i was nine years old. everything just stopped and never started again #i’ve just been waiting. i’m waiting for him to change his mind and come back. idk. i don’t know what to do with myself #and i continuously feel fucking insane and stupid for being this way. it’s like fresh grief all the fucking time #but it was fifteen years ago. why does it still feel this way #i can’t even tell people because they won’t understand why i’m still so bothered by it #he was my parent for nine years. i lived with him he was my sole caretaker #i was nonverbal and him and my brother were the only people on the planet who knew what my voice sounded like #he’d think it was silly if i failed my exam because i was crying about him instead #he’d tell me to whisht and stick in. so i will

had a long talk with my mom over the phone about the new info on my dad, and she had a lot of good insight given that they dated in their 20s

all in all, just gonna try and work on letting myself feel however it is I feel about him having cancer (and our very distant relationship with each other) without trying to put the weight of how I think I should feel or act about it

#[static]#like i wanna be empathetic to him if he does want to reach out and want to mend things #but im also not going to be crying my eyes out in worry for someone who i dont know beyond his music career #and i genuinely wish it was different! i wanted to have a dad my entire childhood #and then i hit my mid 20s and realized that i'd never have that experience and that i'd rather just be friends but it's kind of hard-#- to be friends with someone who doesn't try or who flakes when plans do get made #i hope that he gets better and i cant imagine how scary it must feel and i wish him the best #but i think i feel bad that im not crying about it when i know most people would if they heard that about their parent #like if my mom was in the same situation i'd be weeping my eyes out of my head and driving over immediately
