#cheer yourself up

[un-suflet-anonim]

Dear me,

It was a though year with ups and downs, with rainny and sunny days, with sadness and happiness, yet you made it thorugh all of it like you usually does. It was hard, and you heart had to learn, forcefully, how to heal while you keep learning how to forgive yourself. It was hard because your heart had to get used to living alone again.

In this big world, surrounded by people, you keep trying to find a place to belong with, and a soul match who could conect with you on a emotional level that can share with you the same beliefs and principles.

It was a hard path for your walk and your soles bleed constantly because of the rocks, yet you never stop walking further and further, despite your pain and suffering. You kept walking toward the unwokn destination with a hope in your heart and a positive mind. You tried your best to make yourself proud of you as you always does.

It's never been easy for you, nor did you have a wonderful life, yet you took from it all the lessons it had to give you. It shaped you, it made you stronger, it made you grow constantly, it made you understand where you stand and for whom you matter.

It was so overwhelming and exhausting that you could barely breathe at some point. And all you needed was a break; a break from bad people, a break from your thoughts, a break from everyone and everything. And yet you took a deep breath and decided to continue without a break to go out into the world. You did it, as always, despite your reluctance, because you loved being surrounded by people. Despite the ugly nature of people, you found them beautiful. Then you understood that this is you: you love and hate people equally!

It was a year full of surprises. It was a year where you discovered things about yourself that you didn't know you could do, that you didn't know you had the ability to do.

It was a year in which you learned a few new things, met new people.

It was a life full of sweetness and bitterness, it is a life full of sweetness and bitterness. But it's okay, because these are the pleasure of life, the beauty of it. And you love it!

Do not carry regrets and pain in your soul more than you can bear. Don't get caught up in the past, and don't be so afraid of the future. The future has always been uncertain and unclear. It wouldn't be called "Future" if it wouldn't be like that.

But I saw that you kept running and running and running. Why are you running? Aren't you tired?

I know it's not easy and it wasn't easy.

Stop allowing fears to control your mind and heart, fight them. Be a winner, not a loser. Love yourself more, respect yourself more, forgive yourself all the time. It's okay to make mistakes sometimes. It helps you to understand, to learn, to become a little wiser, so that you can avoid dangers and be more cautious.

But please never forget: at the end of the day, all you have is you!

That's why, be strong, always be yourself, and don't let pain and disappointments dominate you. Be your own sunshine! Be proud of yourself always!

You did well!

From me to me, with love!

Do not let the Protestant Work Ethic Beast in your head win!

You are not alone! You are not the sole difference between death and life! You are a person who will at some point need to take a break!

That is why there is community! That is why there is organizing! Do not despair because you, alone, are not currently boots on the ground fixing things! Do something, but do not let that something be collapsing!

Just been researching about Tom and John Hartnell and now I’m sad

On 24th December 1837, Tom joined HMS Volage. He spent 4 years on that ship (and presumably participated in the Battle of Chuenpi (1839) in the First Opium War. Tom returned to England and was paid off on 20th May 1841

Tom then signed onto HMS Tortoise on 24th May 1841 (yes, 4 days later) and spent 2 and a half years on that ship. It’s also possible that he was one of the men chosen to participate in a conflict between the Te Arawa tribe and Major Thomas Bunbury (commandant of a convict settlement at Norfolk Island, Australia) but it’s not known for certain

When he returned to England in the winter of 1843, it was to find that John had been on HMS Volage since September 1841. Tom didn’t join another Navy ship until 1845 (presumably to help his widowed mother look after his 3 younger siblings)

John returned to England and was paid off on 1st February 1845 and him and Tom had just over 3 months on land together before they set off on the Franklin expedition

They set sail on 19th May 1845 and had less than a year together before John died on 4th January 1846

From what I can work out, they saw each other for roughly 11 months, 1 week and 1 day in the space of 8 years

Excuse me while I go cry

EVERYONE REBLOG/COMMENT WITH ONE GOOD THING FROM YOUR DAY

I'll go first: I finished writing an entire page of my novel!

[bonefall]

post/734733274896809984/do-you-ever-worry-your-own-writing-might-come-off that makes sense. i was asking because i'm afraid of accidentally writing misogyny myself and i kind of admire what you do

Hmm... I wish I had better advice to give you on this front, but honestly, the only thing I can tell you is to consider the perspective of your female characters.

Women are people. They have thoughts and feelings of their own, so like... just let them have their own arcs. A lot of the worst misogyny in WC comes from the way that the writers just don't care about their girls (or, in the case of tall shadow, actually get undermined and forced to rewrite entire chapters), so they're not curious about their lives, or WHY they feel the way they do or what they want, or any direction for their character arcs.

Turtle Tail as an example. She'll often just end up feeling whatever Gray Wing's plot demands. She's gotta leave when Storm dumps him to make him feel lonely. She shows up again to love him in the next book. Lets her best friend Bumble get dragged back to Tom the Wifebeater, but is sad enough about her death to be "unreasonably angry" with Clear Sky, and then calms down and accept Gray Wing is right all along.

And then she dies, so he can have his very own fridge wife.

In this way, Turtle Tail's just being used to tell Gray Wing's story. They're not interested in why she would turn on Bumble, or god forbid any lingering negative feelings for how she didn't help her, or even resentment towards Clear Sky for killing her or Gray Wing for jumping to his defense. She isn't really going through her own character arc.

She does have personality traits of her own, don't misunderstand my criticism, but as a character she revolves around Gray Wing.

So, zoom out every now and then, and just ask yourself; "Whose story is being told by what I wrote? Do my female characters have goals, wants, and agency, or are they just supporting men? How do their choices impact the narrative?"

But that's already kinda assuming that you already have characters like Turtle Tail who DO have personalities and potential of their own. Here's some super simple and practical advice that helped me;

Tally the genders in your cast. How many are boys, how many are girls, how many are others?

And take stock of how many of those characters are just in the supporting cast, and compare that to the amount you have in the main cast.

If you have a significant imbalance, ESPECIALLY in the main cast, fire the Woman Beam.

It's a really simple trick to just write a male character, and then change its gender while keeping it the same. I promise women are really not fundamentally different from men lmao. You can consider how your in-universe gender roles affect them later, if you'd like, but when you're just starting to wean yourself off a "boy bias" this trick works like a charm.

Also you're not allowed to change the body type of any girl you Woman Beam because I said so. PLEASE allow your girls to have muscles, or be fat, or be old, or have lots of scars. Do NOT do what a cowardly Triple A studio does, where the women all have the same cute or sexy face and curvy body while they're standing next to dwarves, robots, and a gorilla.

Or this shit,

If you do this I will GET you. If you're ever possessed by the dark urge, you will see my face appear in the clouds like Mufasa himself to guide you away from the path of evil.

Anyway, you get better at just making characters girls to begin with as time goes on and you practice it. It's really not as big of a deal as your brain might think it is.

Take a legitimate interest in female characters and try not to disproportionately hit them with parental/romance plots as opposed to the male cast, and you'll be fine. Don't think of them as "SPECIAL WOMEN CHARACTERS" just make a character and then let her be a girl, occasionally checking your tally and doing some critical thinking about their use in the story.

(Also remember I'm not a professional or anything, I'm just trying to give advice)

♡︎This is for all my selfshippers who are emotional!

Your F/Os understand that you show your feelings very openly and you express yourself more than others, but they will never judge you for it. They will never see you as someone who is "fragile", they understand you have flaws. You are allowed to express yourself to them. They'll listen to you, they'll comfort you, because they care.

Hi there! I've been following you for a while back on my old account and on Twitter. I just wanna say I love your content. I was obsessed with Guzma when I first got into the game, but throughout the years of struggling mentally, I just really felt like I didn't deserve to care for him. I had dropped out of Sun/Moon but tried to give support to those who gave OCs that ship with him (including yours 💕). I just started making content of him again after years of kicking myself due to friends' encouragement, but mostly, I think it came from your amazing content. I guess I felt like I needed to thank you because I've discovered a newfound love for him & he's giving me comfort during difficult times right now.

Sorry for blabbing, but thank you again & keep making the amazing content 💜

AWWWWWWWWW HONEY I am SO GLAD you let yourself have Guzma as a comfort character now, YOU DESERVE HIM :DD He helped me through some rough times as well and I'm so happy to read my art & comics encouraged you in a way to create new content with him and enjoy yourself!!
