watching The Dragon Prince is a problem because every time people express discontent with another cartoon show it's almost always something TDP did really fucking well so i just default to like.

you want multiple fleshed out villains / antagonists with backstories and well developed motivations who are also wrong and not let off the hook for their actions? say hello to viren, aaravos, claudia, karim, and more.

you want varied queer rep and multiple trans/nb characters? meet an assassin and a blacksmith and a god and a sign language interpreter and a boy who loves plants and his unhinged girlfriend and married queens and rival enemies to lovers wlw who are now planning their wedding.

you want complex family dynamics regarding culture, legacy, power, and abuse? meet the mage fam, the sunfire royal family, the two main princes, adopted children with four parents, step and half siblings and blended families, etc, all explored in their heart and messiness.

you want varied and in depth character for disabled characters and characters of colour? you have a helpful blind pirate and a bitter blind dragon and a sweet amputee wolf and a deaf lesbian general who's also asian. 2/3 main characters are biracial. every couple is interracial. elves and humans alike have a variety of races and we see all of them on display.

you want to explore cycles of violence and healing and grief and war and found family? you want interesting and varied magic systems? you want ethical dilemmas and grey morality and characters being forced to make bad choices for good reasons? well done redemption arcs that still feel fresh, discussions of culture and religion and the death penalty? friends and family becoming enemies and enemies becoming friends and family?

watch The Dragon Prince.

The quality and quantity of X Files fan fiction out there is so mind blowing that it’s downright inspiring. Everything from in-depth character studies to outrageous AUs to some of the hottest smut I have ever read. Y’all really out here making this art, what an enduring legacy of fan love.

Friendly reminder that most published novels average out to 200,000 words or so and take several years each to write and edit. You've written over twice that and edited it mostly solo. And that's on top of coding and other things. You're not just doing okay you're going above and beyond what reasonable expectation should be. Thank u.

sobs. thank you <3

“The basis for the practice of meditation is appreciation. Every breath we take is a gift, naturally pure and good. We appreciate every pebble in the riverbed, every apple on the tree. Ordinary activities are in themselves powerful and worth appreciating.” ― Chögyam Trungpa,

NO ONE IS SUPERIOR TO YOU

Inferiority can only exist when you're constantly comparing yourself to others. Lack mentality originates from poverty and low-self-esteem. To cure this toxic mindset, simply decide that you have enough. It’s that easy.

“The grass isn’t greener on the other side, it’s greener where you water it.”

Your self-esteem has a direct influence on your ability to attract abundance and when you start believing that you are enough, you’ll attract just that and excess. With high self-esteem you'll manifest all the things you once believed yourself incapable of having and you’ll no longer find it necessary to compare yourself to others.

This is the importance of focusing on yourself, honoring your unique abilities and staying in your own damn lane.

Instead of seeking external validation, pour into your own cup and validate yourself.

me rolling in with my TDP 'stoic' big hearted warrior and goofy sometimes temperamental mage otp like "oh, you want only one bed trope? got it. stargazing together? uh there's multiple scenes, which one? artist drawing his gf? giving her his scarf and weaving her jewelry? yeah, got that too. lovingly watching each other sleep? that's happened like four times. her pulling him in by the scarf? yeah that was just three seasons in. uhh everyone ships it, even the villains who use them against each other? got a punch and battle couple vibes watching each other's backs. your best friend/lover being your core tether to the world, love confessions/affirmations when you think you're about to die, and then even when you're not? him doing everything he can to ensure she gets her family back when she struggles to do things for herself. her doing everything she can to keep him safe, from using her badassery to her big heart. running to each other for reunion hugs and kisses. devotion to the point of destroying yourself and others? 'it was always you'? mmhm yeah. enemies to friends to lovers who are then forced to be enemies again because of possession and getting through to each other? 11+ kisses? yeah. forehead touches too. do you want anything else while i'm out?"
