In my helping others work through their social anxiety era 💖
#me#i don't mean i am healing anyone#but i tend to be the one encouraging#my friends to do things#i would consider basic#but cause them anxiety#i did have bad social anxiety as a kid/teen#but i forced myself to take the bus#and talk to people at the mall who#weren't busy and didn't seem annoyed by me#i have agoraphobia#but i have no anxiety about socializing#it's just crowds remind me of past traumas#and cause me to panic#i feel claustrophobic#if that makes sense#leaving my house#even when there is no one around#i worry someone is watching#always hyper aware#i learned to find comfort in other people

I simply think this fandom doesn't give Wei Wuxian enough credit for the various ways in which he saved Lan Wangji
#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#wangxian#idk man- i just see a lot of “Lan Wangji has always been protecting Wei Wuxian” posts and its like...#I mean... Lan Wangji has always certainly been trying to protect Wei Wuxian#it took him a long time to figure how to successfully do that though#rereading the books rn and noticing theres a lot of instances that could be read as lwj being frustrated over his inability to protect wwx#like he seemed ready to cry when wwx went missing for a while and then came back with the cursed leg#lwj has always been great at protecting wwx from physical threats (ex: waterborn abyss) but had no idea how to protect him from himself#meanwhile wwx has always been instictually good at saving lwj from both#like I'm 100% lwj would've become like Jiang Cheng if wwx hadn't snapped him out of the blindly following authority thing#and also like... 15 y/o lwj wasnt happy with his life. he was lonely and stressed and literally signing up to be flogged whenever he goofed#wwx is who allowed lwj to grow up by showing him what it was like to actually be a kid (shown in story whenever lwj gets drunk)#he led lwj to having a more flexible mindset. and it both let lwj relax and set lwj up to be a better parent#looking into lwj's dynamic with the juniors- he lets them break a fuck ton of the petty rules and encourages them to question authority#he also teaches them to not be married to any one meathod of problem solving#wwx is also able to save lwj from his own stubbornness#ex: carrying lwj when he broke his leg. getting lwj to cough up bad blood. getting lwj to keep the rabbits#wwx also tends to give lwj the words he has trouble saying himself. helps him communicate#wwx also protects lwj in fights a lot but thats narratively less important#except the various times wwx puts himself in danger to help lwj. those times are what made it so lwj could never move on from wwx#like with the cave incident#or when wwx helped surpress the arm instead of using the chaos to escape cloud recesses#tldr i guess: i think this fandom tends to treat lwj being the best like its natural to him when really wwx accidentaly rewired his brain#I'm looking directly at fanfic writers who act like the Lans would've treated wwx better than the Jiangs#lwj had to do so much work and self reflection post meeting wwx to be the way he is. he is not the sole product of the Lan teachings

Idk why, but for some reason, my brain is developing a headcanon where if Mr. Puzzles has a favorite song, it would be one that got scrapped from a certain movie or is from a deleted scene like the song, “No One Would Listen” from a deleted scene from the 2004 Phantom of the Opera movie. I feel like he could relate to that one a lot or to something similar, but hey, what do I know? It’s just a guess at this point! It’s just a theory!
#i don’t really know#when I come up with headcanons like this I tend to try and keep it in line with the character as much as I can#But we only got so much to go off of here so it’s a lil tricky#Even it it’s not his favorite song I still think he could relate to it quite a bit#And an animatic for it may or may not be forming in my he-GOD DAMMIT#NO GUARANTEES THO!!!#Anyways just thought I’d share that and encourage y’all to go listen to No One Would Listen#It really is a good song#mr puzzles#smg4#smg4 mr puzzles#smg4 puzzlevision#headcanon#phantom of the opera

Scar has an old series called the crafting dead, a mc mod playthrough based off the walking dead.
I like to consider this his backstory, before hermitcraft, this is where he came from. He has experience fighting, he’ll go the lengths to survive, even eating corpses.
he’s a perfect candidate for the games, Watchers think, he’s an interesting one.
he’s taunted with a promise of food if he plays, so he agrees.
#Something abt scar playing a death game bc . Well he’s already in one isn’t he? He’ll take his chances.#meanwhile Grian plays bc he’s an angels son. He feels encouraged to. He wants to. It’s supposed to be fun ?#Anyway I like to think the Watchers tend to taunt players into playing the games#Sponsoring.. if you will. it’s an easier way to eat than doing it yourself

omg as an aside from my tags on the last post. i briefly worked for a company that wrote letters to political reps on behalf of constituents who couldn't/wouldn't write to them themselves for whatever reason and i know for a fact that letters are WAAAAY more effective at influencing government officials than emails are, and sometimes they're even more effective than calls. emails are better than nothing but a lot of times (especially if they all have the same subject line/content) they will just be considered spam and get deleted without making it to the rep at all. letters are way more likely to make it to them for them to read! they Are more effort but that is a big part of why they're more influential too. so if there's an issue you're passionate about i rly encourage u to write a letter/letters to the people who can do something about it 🙏 there are websites out there where you can write the content of a letter to your rep and they will send it for you but i don't have any on hand atm, but otherwise writing and sending a letter yourself is not as intimidating as it might seem and is a great way to make your voice heard
#carly.txt#i got a very long and thoughtful response back from one of my republican reps surprisingly#i very strongly disagreed but i appreciated the effort he put in even if it was a pre-written response LMAO#it's also too late for this now that primary season is over but#i also rly encourage emailing primary candidates and asking them for their stances on issues important to you#especially on topics both parties tend to fail us on#because PRIMARIES are underrated and very important too that's when u are really able to choose what your party looks like#i did that in 2020 abt police brutality and got a lot of responses back it was fascinating#one of them wanted to talk to me on the phone but we never managed to coordinate a call KLJSDKLFS that would've been fun tho#anyway i spent too much time on this i need to go back to work now .

I think that people need to recognize where their baseline is because a lot of generalized advice will work well for one baseline but not another
are you a person who defaults to working or defaults to rest?
are you a person who defaults to scrupulosity or defaults to laxity?
are you a person who defaults to minimizing yourself or defaults to aggrandizing yourself?
advice from one side of a spectrum is good, but maybe not applicable to you and that's okay
#like i tend to overlisten to people who default to work encourage rest and being gentle with yourself when i completely default to rest#but I also tend to avoid voices that seem lax or gentler because i tend to scrupulosity#it's so much harder to listen to the voices speaking to what you need over your tendencies but it is very worth it#also!! like im in the middle for the third one and not really to either end and thats also okay#maybe that spectrum is more helpful for someone else!

Wait you ship Albedou with Tighnari!? Not to sound rude btw
Hmmm I don't really ship them ?? Like, yeah I clearly don't mind the ship and lol i drew them for fun because it is my main and the one fictional character I'm simping for more than 4yrs now but
I can't see it as a romantic relationship (i am convinced abt tighnari aromantic rep and bisexual sorry) 😔
And my mind was like "what if albedo flirtly provoking tighnari during science session and--- oh." the second I regained my consciousness, my hand already slipped and drew a comic.
#reply#there is also one i would like to share and it is queerplatonic tighnari sucrose#I know my taste are not like the majority and I don't wish people judgin my safeplace sob#so I tend to keep everything for myself#I wasn't supposed to post my albe/nari drawing but I was soso proud of me 😭#and it is my art too )': i know there is people who follow me for my art and I am grateful#but i know there is also a lot who follow me for content )':#in result on instagram I believe I lost 300 followers ?? more or less#worth it ? worth it.#i enjoy reading my followers's reaction bahaha since it is not something I usually post 😭#like my account is fully silly funny pretty drawing and in the middle there is two nerds who are making out#it is way so fun and I love having fun#thank you my friend for encouraging me to post it 😔🫵✨️🫶

hc + innocence
Send me hc + a word of your choosing and I’ll write a headcanon relating to that word!
Innocence is something that D has and always will cherish regardless of how he views humanity in general. There is a lot of cruelty in the world, but for every customer who fails at keeping to their contract there are those who love their animals like their own children. It's the good that keeps a glimmer of hope ignited in the shopkeeper's heart, that humanity might not inevitably doom itself and one day earn the right to enter paradise when it all comes to an end. Children in particular keep this hope alive and while D isn't overly fond of how noisy and rambunctious they are, most youngsters do love animals more than their adult counterparts. They also tend to see the true forms of the pets at this store, unlike grown-ups who are blinded by their desires and see only what they want to see. For these reasons, D is more patient when it comes to children but even they must be careful to treat their animal friends well, and to learn from any mistakes they do make. Innocence is a wonderful thing but like trust, it's gone forever once lost.
#themckaytriarchy#memes ;; single word headcanons#Thank you for sending this in Cereal! <3#I appreciate it a lot and the support you gave me too for encouraging D as a muse <333#So here he is!#D can be cynical AF when it comes to people but children tend to have a better track record when it comes to being customers#They don't usually meet such brutal ends lol#There was that one chapter about the dog though#Child owner gave her up but when their circumstances switched the dog picked her#D conceded to the dog's judgement lol#I hope this wasn't too rambly agsfsd#🐾 || headcanons

Reminder that if you wanna participate in Dom but you don't enjoy the Coliseum, you can breed dragons to sell to trainers, donate treasure, gems, or items to the dom bank, and attend for public buys/raffles, or make small art for badges! Dom isn't just a Coli Lover's Game
Attending is one of the more intimidating things on this list but I think most of not all the flights have tutorials for it, along with access to a parser that lets you copy/paste most or all of the dragon data into the record sheet easily instead of doing it all by hand. I'm a Coli Fan and even I think Attending is the most fun part of a Dom Push (Though I might also be Autistic in a way that makes me love Playing Spreadsheets)
All of these are appreciated in small amounts even! Every dragon sold to coli trainers counts! Every gem and bit of treasure counts! Any time you spend attending for the Public Buys and Raffles counts! And I always want to encourage everyone to join in on dom because the more active everyone is in it, the more fun it is for everyone I think
#I especially especially wanna encourage people to attend for raffles and PBs#Not just because I think it's more fun than people who haven't done it realize!#But also everyone benefits from having more attendents online at odd hours#I tend to get flooded late at night when I'm often one of the only people attending dhdhdjd and I hate making the dragon senders wait#flight rising

i lowkey feel like ls would benefit from having a smaller space
like since its a pvp and interaction-focused server with less than 30 members, most of whom struggle to log on, i think itll do them some good to limit the amount of space they can traverse so that the ones who Do get on get to mess around with each other easier
doesnt need to be Super small or anything, just maybe small enough that you can fly around the whole thing in under 7 mins
#mine.txt#idk just watching zams lol we are dying vod and planet has a point#ive actually thought it was weird that the server was so big for a while now since the few pvp servers i know of tend to have limited space#and just kinda assumed that was the default for pvp servers lol#like you cant force ppl to care but you can encourage them#idk the fact that its a friend server turned content server turned some kind of weird mixture between the two doesnt do it any favors#cause on one hand a lot of members only really go there to make vids#but on the other hand they very clearly do wanna hang out with each other more#but its kinda difficult to do considering not only the fact most of them are in school rn#but also a lot of the meta stuff involved like the fact that almost every member makes hyper edited vids which doesnt really have#a good effort-to-output ratio in general but Especially to servers that dont focus on lore and/or some kind of overhaul gimmick#anyways heres my 10000 word essay on why lsers should start using less finnicky editing styles /j

*waving awkwardly at whoever happens to be walking by* Just a little heads up (since I guess I feel weird not giving any sort of notice?) that I’ll be making a point to be on here much less going forward (not disappearing, I’ll still be around, but probably only popping in now and again)… At least for now! Summer is always a difficult time of year for me, to be honest with you, and being chronically online definitely won’t help with that. So… Yeah! As per usual feel free to @ me to make sure I see something (y’all can also dm me lol no need to be shy). 💜
That’s it! Again just felt like leaving a little notice aha… Anyhoo, y’all take care and be safe :] ✌️
#BUT for the little handful of people I chat with on Discord-#I very much do want us to stay in touch and encourage you to message me liberally about literally whatever#Rat… Countless… Fey… I mean you know who you are I think#Cal you’re included in that implicitly too haha ik we don’t talk directly all that much but we’re friends and we really oughta keep intouch#Anyhoo that’s it yeah!#Like I said#summer can be pretty rough for me#On the one hand I have a very romantic view of summer#On the other- it tends to be when I’m most prone to falling into depressive episodes#Alsoooooo- I have to admit that while I’m very grateful for this fandom and all the cool people in it that I’ve met#I often kinda miss when listening to it was more of a thing I did with myself if that makes sense??#Well now I have a few closer friends that I absolutely still want to talk about the show with-#But overall yeah I think at least for the next bit I want to go back to enjoying the show without all the fandom stuff attached#Well. AHA I’ll still be around like I said just- okay this is such a long ramble for nothing LOL typical Baba…#:3 Listen take care and don’t be shy if ya genuinely wanna keep in touch is all#💜

It seems everyone advises “put yourself first” once a relationship is suffering, but where are the people that encourage “put the relationship first”?
#I genuinely feel like this is one of the reasons so many people don’t tend to their relationships#we’re not encouraged to anymore. that culture has died. we don’t seem to believe in collective good#we prefer our self-centred gain#and I get it because for too long people have put relationships first and endure disgusting states#but there’s no balance now and no balance then it feels like

me writing headcanons for obscure media that's already been dead for years? its more likely than you think
Avengers Academy Loki primarily identifies as female, and even when she is presenting male, she is pretty feminine. Shes always been secure in her identity, but the first time she ever felt truly accepted and loved as who she is was when Jan offered to make her feminine clothes without a seconds hesitation.
#this is one of those things that is so set in my personal beliefs i forget it isnt canon#this along with the cane as a mobility aid. canon to me idc#Back on Asgard she tended to simply dress more/less feminine depending on how she felt without changing her body#(subtle changes that could be brushed off should anyone decide to take issue with her identity)#but since coming to the school she tends to shapeshift more and more; to become who she truly feels like#she knows shes safe here that her friends will always have her back. even the people at the school who hate her generally respect her#also while she primarily id's as a woman she is still genderfluid!#wasp has been known to post running pronoun updates on her social media when loki is feeling particularly fluid#i like to think the event when you get lady loki is the first time loki shapeshifts her body on campus and wasps reaction to it both shocks#her and encourages her to be more faithful to how she feels internally- after that she spends at least 50% of her time in that form and#using she/her pronouns#avengers academy#avac#avac loki#loki avengers academy#janet van dyne#avac wasp#nyxtalks

there is this idea that crime is caused by poverty. it's so popular that people state it as fact. and i think there might be some truth to it. but honestly, i think it's overstated and the relationship between crime and poverty is a lot more complex than people think.
just anecdotally speaking, it never sat well with me because my personal experience has been that criminals tend to be opportunistic predators not people acting out of desperation. i knew lots of people who shoplifted or robbed people and almost none of them were so desperately impoverished that they needed to resort to crime.
they chose crime because it was easy money. there was nothing preventing them from getting a job. they just didn't want to work a 9 to 5. the bandit lifestyle was just a lot more convenient. let those other suckers work their asses off and then you can just rob them. i knew people who were living comfortable middle class lifestyles from boosting and drug dealing.
and the irony is, this sort of behavior actually impoverished our community in a lot of ways. it seemed to me like the crime came first. when my parents group here this area was really nice. then in the 90s and 00s crime became rampant and the entire community went to shit for a variety of reasons (luckily things have turned around in recent years thanks to some tough-on-crime policies). my own family (which was below the poverty line for most of my childhood) has been stolen from multiple times (including our car one time which really fucked us over). these people weren't robin hoods stealing from the rich and giving to the poor and they also weren't impoverished victims just trying to survive. these people were just straight up predators without a conscience.
#i also think culture plays a big part of it too#but i've said enough and don't wanna get too into it#i just know that these people tended to have similar cultures/lifestyles#and were often enabled or even encouraged by their parents#the fact is that by the age of 13 these kids already decided they wanted to live a life of crime#because it was cool and easy#anyway i'm just posting this because i saw some guy on twitter post a study#that seems to support my personal experience#oh also another thing that i wanted to mention#was that while my family was technically impoverished#no one in my family had any criminal inclinations#i mean#a lot of them were drug users i guess#but no one ever robbed or assaulted anyone#no one ever thought “damn we need money let's go shoplift electronics”#instead we all just got jobs#lmao

ive thought about becoming a babysitter full time id really enjoy it, i love child care and i think im pretty good at it! i couldnt raise a kid of course but im really good at interacting with them and teaching them stuff and keeping them entertained. my friends always liked my littlest sister better, but my friends siblings always liked ME better and thought i was the coolest thing theyve ever seen. every kid ive ever met has thought i was the coolest person theyve ever met and i tend to work really well with them
#txt#im flexing right now but its relaly not that hard you just dont baby talk at them and tell them cool facts you knpow and do cool dance move#and really listen to them when they talk. like really genuinely listen and respond. thats all they want#though i am kind of known for being a bad influence because i tend to encourage them to do things and then get in trouble bc their parents#didnt want that. one of my little sisters friends wanted short hair super bad and she had it tucked into a hat and eventually she was like#do you think my hair would look good short like yours! cus my mom said itd look bad!#and i was close to this kid bc ive babysat her a billion times and i was like DUDE YOUD LOOK SO GOOD WITH SHORT HAIR NO JOKE#mostly bc thats what i would have wanted to hear as a kid even if it wasnt true or the honest opinion of the person#and then next time she hung out i was like oh dude nice haircut! i knew itd look good#and she was like yeah but my mom grounded me for cutting it :X#and i was like UHM
