#Mind need resting spaces

[amerasdreams]

I really needed a weekend to just rest and do random things and do what I wanted rather than what i had to and decide in the moment moment no structure and time and space to just .be and not be productive and room to focus on what i want, even if it's something small and silly, until im bored of that then move to the next thing

No pressure.

*camera filming like a documentary. Vaggie is narrating. The camera focuses on Husk reading on the couch*

Vaggie: This is Husk. He enjoys his personal space-

*camera pans out to reveal Angel laying across Husk’s lap*

Vaggie: This is Angel. He also enjoys Husk’s personal space.

A while back you made a post talking about yakumo and his sensitivity to temperature and I haven't stopped thinking about it. imagine when winter comes around and yakumo becomes progressively sluggish, usually staying in the kitchen and not leaving for hours, always making something near the stove to feel a little warmth from the flames or from a little taste of the things he's making (soup probably), or him picking up the habit of bundling himself up and staying in the library to read and nap. maybe when it starts getting even colder he barely leaves his room because its too uncomfortably cold for him, and if he does he's probably looking for eiden to help him warm up, but if eidens not around he gets antsy and looks for somebody else in the mansion, but he's too shy to ask and looks at whoever with his wet eyes so they know he's cold and wants a cuddle

*inhales deeply* ah yes. you understand. you envision it all so clearly. rightly so. gEt in the wAy, everybody, snake burrito walking the halls very very slowly!!!!!!! (i was about to say get OUT of the way but that would probably make yakumo colder so why not do him a favour and collide with him on your way to another room)

It's actually kind of heartbreaking how many people feel their life has ended right after high school or college, and honestly, the heavy romanticization of that period of time is so overwhelmingly predominant that it can be hard to avoid. It's insidious to constantly be told that ages 10-24 are the only worthwhile parts of life, that everything after is essentially meaningless and dull.

It's hard not to look around you and think that your life still is open and full of potential when you're told over and over again that the rose-tinted childhood is the last time you were alive. It's hard to realize that your life isn't over when you walk off the stage of your graduation.

We must realize that we will always be full of potentials. Your life won't be over until you take your final breath, and then? That's simply another chapter in your story, one of many. Let yourself realize that you're alive in the here and now. There will be good and bad, but never a complete loss of potential or hope.

Im about to make a whole osp style video on the importance of pacing and spacing in relation to whump or an authors decision to seriously harm a character

[moe-broey]

I've never been a "born in the wrong generation" type of guy because for So Many reasons I would be dead. Full stop like I would have died during childbirth I would have died of appendicitis age 8 and that's not even factoring in my queerness and neurodivergency and ultimately my mental health (carefully maintained thanks to support/modern advances in medicine and treatment). On Top Of That my hobbies include The Video Game and many such things that are of modern invention (adjacently: including The Device I'm typing this out on right now which has become my main avenue of communication to the outside world)

But I'm just saying that. It WOULD be nice. To exist in a world where fluorescent lighting doesn't exist and everything is possibly 99% less overstimulating all of the time forever.

The pattern is that people straight up do not read™. or they read a 3-5 tweet summary of what happened and treat it as if they did. or because shonen expectations based on "the classics" is bullshit and significantly rotted people's brains when deciding wether an ending is good or not.

Which could be nothing right

yeahhh. i will forever regret reading the last chapter through leaks because it was a dreadful experience, and watching everyone ever shit on it for like a week after genuinely made me want to just get off the internet forever or something because i felt like an idiot for liking the ending (all this is my fault for getting too invested in both tumblr and mha etc etc).

All the "it's rushed" and pacing complaints barely matter to me at this point because you just cannot feel the pacing of something correctly when you're reading it exclusively through leaks. you can't absorb info like that. And don't get me started on the number of complaints and criticisms I've seen of the last chapter that are just provably bullshit (I saw someone say Izuku didn't get a statue lmao. yes he did, you just read the fucking leaks and watched twitter drama unfold instead of reading the actual chapter i fear).

We got so high the only memories of a very long complex important conversation (one-sided entirely more of a rant) between CB and 🐙 look like... this

See more rant in the comments ☆ I lost control!

90s Raphael’s characterization between the first movie and the next two is interesting. Could make for a good fic.

I love Raph's characterisation across the 90s trilogy.

There are so many little things I could point out, but overall, I love that he's a little guy with big feelings! He doesn't always know what to do with them given he's a teenager with sensory issues and trauma. I love his strong convictions about right and wrong and justice and helping others and protecting his family and bystanders. I love watching this kid who spent fifteen years in isolation discover what he wants and fight for it.

Splinter tells him and his brothers their whole lives (as gently as possible) that the world above will never understand or accept them, but Raph carves out a place for himself anyway. He must have brought home so many strays growing up, and then he brings home three humans who change their lives. As he gets to know April, Casey, and Keno, he learns that he craves connection, a wider social circle than his family can offer. He wants people to know he exists. And we see how much he wants, but the price to have it is too steep. Because he can't reveal himself to the whole world and protect his family; he can't live in ancient Japan and have them, too. Despite so desperately wanting more, he chooses his family every time. I love when tmnt media and fandom explore these aspects of Raph.

My 90s fics tend to focus on how Raph is harmed by their conflict with the Foot Clan.

Sunset is my take on some of the missing hours between Raph's capture and rescue from Foot HQ.

Wrestling imagines how Raph might've broken down after the first two movies given everything he went through.

Thanks for the ask =)

[pigeon-butch]

as a femme who just got a rescue pigeon who seems to like people but hate Hands™️ with a passion, do you have any advice? also love your little guy and your username lol

:') <3

I'm assuming they're aggressive rather than fearful of hands? That's pretty typical for pigeons, especially male pigeons, as a lot of their courtship and status is based around biting/wrestling with others, and hands are generally what they target with us lol. It's hard to say for sure without seeing your bird's behavior and knowing a bit more context but my best guess is one of two things - if they're reacting to hands being placed near them with aggression that's probably just them being defensive, while if they're seeking out your hands it's more likely (but not for sure) a driving behavior. For the former, respecting their space as much as possible is best, while for the latter you can let them wrestle your hand a bit as long as it doesn't hurt too bad. When Quinn was going through that phase, I basically just treated him like a bitey puppy, backing off and ignoring him any time he bit too hard until he learned what was an appropriate amount of force he could use without hurting me!

[embers-burning-bright]

reminder to parents; don't threaten your kid with a "you will regret not visiting us. these family members will die any day now". just generally a bit uncool I'll be honest.

1 year ago today I was at my lowest point, and had it not been for some friends I called and went and stayed with for a few hours, I know I wouldn't be here today.

Today, I'm lying in bed after driving home to a beautiful sunset, waiting for the energy to come back to finish a project to wear tomorrow night. I'm going out with a friend I haven't seen in almost 3 years. I saw more friends last weekend who i also havent seen in nearly 3 years. I've done things I couldn't even dream of 3 years ago. I've done things that this time last year seemed completely out of reach to me.

Life is still hard. It's always going to be hard. But in the past year I have held so much happiness in my hands that I know, deep down, even when it decides to leave, that happiness will return to me. I can let it go and be sad for a while, but it will come back. And each time, I will learn to tame it further so it stays for longer, until one day it builds a nest just outside my window so I can watch it for years to come.

Hold on to your happiness when you have it. It will build itself a home in you, and one day you will look down and realise it flew in for the last time and never left
