#but I have my reasons

[futurealchemy]

with MHA ending I would like to say bakudeku is my most HATED ship in that fandom next to EndHawks they are so fucking boring but aside from that I HATE how they reduce the characters to just their ship and nothing else or that people can't just seem to ship them with other people

You may think this song is about Daniel Jacobi but you’d be wrong. This is about Colonel Warren Kepler in reality

Just want to put this out there since I’ve been getting asks wanting me to help spread godundme campaigns that are caused by the events currently going on or have previously gone on in various parts of the world that are still affecting people’s lives.

I’m not going to share them on my blogs for the sole fact that I cannot vouch for the integrity of the people hosting those campaigns, because I personally know too many people who have been burned by false gofundmes that looked legit.

If some of those who have reached to me are legit, I apologize for not sharing and trying to help, but I hope you can understand my position in this. I want to help, but I also don’t want to be blamed if, somehow, a fake campaign makes it through to my asks and gets shared through me. I’ve seen too many people I care about get scammed by, share, and get blamed for false campaigns in the past and am trying to protect my own image, which I know is selfish for doing.

I hope you guys can at least understand where I’m coming from with this, and I wish you all the best of luck.

look guys okay see here's the thing like hear me out (for the 90% of people who have no idea what i'm talking about just accept i am right bc of my yuri phd). mercedes and marianne are so yuri OKAY??? i know they don't talk or have supports or anything but i think that's such a shame because i think they would have been tooth rottingly sweet if they did. nobody needs to be gently held more than marie and nobody would be more of a gentle holding pro than mercie......... i just think they mesh so well together and would be so supportive of each other. sweet gentle girls kiss and the whole world blows up

i feel like a lot of the 'i hate kids' crowd would be more tolerant if they understood that due to a kid's limited experience of the world that 4 hour flight might just be the longest they've ever had to sit still for or that trapped finger might literally be the most pain they've ever felt in their short life or they might not have ever seen a person with pink hair ever so of course they want to touch it or nobody's told them yet that they can't run around the museum and they only just learned cheetahs are the fastest animals so of course they want to put that to the test. how were they supposed to know etc etc.

i didn't have "i'm broken" teenage asexual angst i had "i'm literally being the only reasonable one about this concept and the rest of you are behaving like fucking freaks" perception issues

not to sound like a boomer, but I need some people to learn how to write emails in a semi-professional (at the very least) format so you're not cold emailing a business/potential employer/any other stranger about formal matters in the exact same way you'd DM a close friend on instagram

the formality/language can loosen up in the email chain once you've established a rapport and you match the other person if they're being less formal, but please don't have the very first email you send a stranger be written in all lowercase ultra-casual sms slang with no greeting or signature and a billion emojis

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.

--

no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.

I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.

I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.

If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.

Expanding a thought from a conversation this morning:

In general, I think "Is X out-of-character?" is not a terribly useful question for a writer. It shuts down possibility, and interesting directions you could take a character.

A better question, I believe, is "What would it take for Character to do X?" What extremity would she find herself in, where X starts to look like a good idea? What loyalties or fears leave him with X as his only option? THAT'S where a potentially interesting story lies.

In practice, I find that you can often justify much more from a character than you initially dreamed you could: some of my best stories come from "What might drive Character to do [thing he would never do]?" As long as you make it clear to the reader what the hell pushed your character to this point, you've got the seed of a compelling story on your hands.

(ID in ALT Text) Happy very, very late Mother's Day!

I am not saying that zuko is sokkas substitute for kya. or they look in any way similar! The whole concept here is that something was happening at the moment, be it how they were laying in bed, how the hair pooled over the pillow, or how sokka was able to hold onto it. It just brought sokka back. It triggered a memory, and suddenly he relived a brief memory. Making him suddenly miss his mother again. hope you enjoy!
