"Create Your Own Happiness" is a phrase that encourages personal empowerment and taking control of one's own emotional well-being. It suggests that happiness is not something we should wait for or depend on others to provide, but rather something we actively cultivate for ourselves. Life is full of ups and downs, and while external circumstances can influence our mood, this saying reminds us that our mindset, choices, and actions play a crucial role in shaping how we feel. By focusing on what brings us joy—whether it’s pursuing hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or practicing mindfulness—we can create a sense of fulfillment from within. It’s about embracing positivity, taking responsibility for our happiness, and not letting outside factors dictate our emotional state. Ultimately, it's a call to recognize that, while we can't control everything around us, we can control how we respond and where we find our joy.

i read somewhere on pinterest that this girl set an alarm and labelled it with a shooting star- 💫 - and when it went off she'd make a wish

"you get to make your own magic and believe in it"

that was the cutest thing ever honestly and i'm gonna start doing this!

You know anon who replied to my post about Buck. I'm a proud biracial person so you certainly won't see me, a BT shipper, be against an interracial couple. I see racism, even when it's subtle, I see when people are vague posting about race being a problem. And I've never seen a BuckTommy fan make a racist post about Eddie being Latino, not even make an allusion to it. Never. I'm not saying there's not a single BT racist fan, you'll find trash anywhere, but here on Tumblr, I have yet to see it.

Eddie is not a problem for BuckTommy shippers, he's not a menace to the ship, he's not in the way of anything. And him being Latino has been used by BoBs themselves since the beginning as an excuse to hate on Tommy, the ship, and us. We don't fucking care about Eddie being Latino, it's a non thing for BT shippers. We're not white supremacists with an agenda. Meanwhile, the moment we dared to like Buck being with Tommy, we were under Buddies/BoBs constant harassment. Because they didn't get their ship canon. And the hate and violence has been insane. The homophobia/queerphobia. The misogyny. The ageism. The racism against actual people in the fandom. And it created tensions we never asked for.

We never asked for anything except maybe to see a queer arc for Buck. We never ask for Buddie to not be canon. We never asked for Tommy to come back. We only hoped they'd give the fans queer Buck. Then we just went with what the show gave us, some liked it, some not. No one except the show runners and the writers knew what would happen and had the power to make it happen. None of us, whatever we ship, will change what people are PAID to do on a TV show.

All the rest? It's your interpretation, just like we all have. It's valid but not canon. Tommy acting like Taylor and being dismissive of Buck's feelings? Your interpretation but it's not canon. I'm currently rewatching the show for the first time and I see so many moments when Eddie is not a good friend to Buck. Not a bad friend, just not a good one. And I don't need theories about him being a supposedly closeted gay to just accept that those characters are written to be realistic, so they're not perfect. Eddie using his friendship with Buck to hit exactly where it hurts and tell him he's exhausting? Oh it was bad, but Eddie was pissed. So you know, it was a realistic and emotional response. It doesn't mean I started a hate campaign against him and his fan. First because it's a fucking TV show, but most of all, it's not important. It's part of the story and that's it. Sit back and enjoy, then join the fandom to make your ship thrive in fanon. No need to hate anything or anyone.

(oh and yes, BuckTommy has many names! Not always practical but it's not like it affects your life, isn't it?)

something I always ALWAYS do with digital art is to do so using a mode I like to call "Mobile Preview"

(it's not actually called this. all I did was make the built-in thumbnail preview of my art program huge. the cost to work space is worth it)

doing this allows you to see if anything you're actually working on is even visible on a mobile phone - which is what 70% of the users of this site access it with. I cannot even begin to tell you how much time this saves you. 🙏 save your wrists and life force, artists, I beg of u 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’m happy for the little life I built for myself

[watcherintheweyr]

desperately need people to understand that alicent is a victim but she’s also an abuser and a perpetrator

that she actively makes choices to harm other women because of jealousy and envy and the greed deep in her bones because submitting to suffering didn’t get her what those women fight to grasp for themselves.

she is absolutely a victim, in show.

that doesn’t change that she abused rhaenyra and her children, her own son, most likely helaena given how she flinches every time her mother touches her, and is actively weaponizing the patriarchy of westeros against other women- rhaenyra primarily, but also mysaria and dyana.

she isn’t the moral, righteous force of good that even she thinks she is, she’s a wounded woman directing all of the rot, pain, and fury inside her at the wrong people and forces.

Maegon Rivers {Dragonfyre}

Born: 151 AC at Harrenhal in the Riverlands

Parents: Aemond Targaryen and Alys Rivers

Other Name(s): The Sullen Bastard

General Appearance: Shoulder-length, black hair. Left eye: deep blue. Right eye: lilac. 6'1”. He looks exactly like Aemond, but paler.

Personality: Quiet. Calm. Odd. Strong-willed.

Special Talents: Archery.

Facts: Maegon is a result of a one night tryst when Aemond stayed at Harrenhal during a horrid storm. The boy’s existence wasn’t known until he was five years old. He came to live at Strongsong in the first month of 156 AC, after Aemond and Rhagerys got word of a young boy wandering the grounds of Harrenhal. Aemond knew, somehow, that boy was his. Maegon is not much of a talker. The majority of his life he keeps himself. Only Ettienora seems to be able to get him to open up. They balance each other quite well. By him being the listener and Ettienora being the talker. They have an unspoken connection at times that all they need to do is give each other a look.

He claimed the dragon Cannibal when he was 10 years old. He has trained himself to be able to shoot an arrow, hit his intended target in some capacity, from astride his dragon. He is legitimatized in 156 AC by Aegon III. Upon marrying Ettienora, he changes his last name Dragonfyre. Face Claim: Ewan Mitchell (Fontaines D.C. music videos 'In The Modern World' and 'It's Amazing To Be Young')

Significant Other(s): Ettienora Targaryen (1st cousin once removed; Rhagerys and Jaehaera's daughter)

{Married in 168 AC; Ettienora was 16. Maegon was 17} (Lives at Dragonstone)

Children:

G) Jaehaera Dragonfyre (Older twin to Jaehaena) {174 AC}

G) Jaehaena Dragonfyre (Younger twin to Jaehaera) {174 AC}

B) Daemon Dragonfyre ‘Daemonfyre’ {179 AC; born minutes after Daemon Targaryen first of his name dies}

I have @elcoffin to thank for Maegon. I saw their art piece of how Alys and Aemond’s son may look and i immediately knew I had to create my own version. And let that boy have a life in my little story. He deserved to exist.

03/30/2025 THWWICH + Small Komahina Week Fic Progress Update

TLDR: About 2.5K drafted for thwwich chapter 6 today, we're close to 14K-ish. Komahina week fic draft is at about 1.4K.

Eyyyy we back in business. While waiting for beta's work on ch 5, wrote more shit for ch 6. Got close to 2.5K down in the actual doc, but I wrote like a shit-ton on paper and didn't get all of it transferred yet lmao, so I'm gonna say I probably wrote another 1K more. We're at about 14K-ish for ch 6 so far, and honestly with how it's going we'll probably be close to ch 5 in terms of length (24K-ish but Lord you know by now not to take my word for this shit lmaoooo). It'll be a lot of action filling up those words this time; much happening here, the heist is not like CRAZY complicated but I definitely have a lot of dialogue lmao.

Also started the process of ch 7 art commission stuff!!! Y'all have no idea, this is like one of the commissions I'm most excited about. For a lot of different reasons, but a big one is that I think it really captures the ESSENCE of the broader themes of this fic. And that sounds... so goddamn pretentious lmao but really truly it has some subtle stuff going on that I'm really proud of.

In other news, I ALSO had my awesome friend read over my wip for the komahina week thing just for funsies and it seemed to get their "cuteness seal of approval". I did write a bit more for it today, not much, but it's at about 1.4K. Almost all of that is dialogue though, so it will probably be longer when done. I'm thinking it'll just be something cute and "short" (GOD please I gotta just make it short lmaooo) so I can attempt at least two for the week. I.... don't fucking know what I'd do for a second one but we'll figure something out. I feel like I don't understand komahina nearly as well as I "understand" saiou, so it's inherently difficult for me to write, but I do REALLY REALLY like komahina, so I wanted to give it a shot. Honestly, I got recommended a ton of cute komahina fics, so maybe I should read those to get an idea of their dynamic better. I'll take anything at this point lmao

AHHH I'm so ready for thwwich next few chapters to be done lmao. Not because I'm already sick of them, cuz I'm not, but cuz I want so badly for people to start getting the little reveals. WE GONNA LEARN SOME STUFF IN CH 7 AND I'M SO READYYYYYY!!! Of course, big mysteries will still be held out for a while, but you're gonna get some more inklings in ch 7 that I'm SO excited for. And it's just cutie patootie saiou so of course I like it. AND I LIKE CH 8 AND 9. My favorite parts of this fic are in 7-9 lol so I'm so unbelievably excited.

Hope you all have a lovely night and Sunday blues are BANISHED!!! I'm sending so many good vibes all y'all's way. We are gonna get through this and we're gonna do it with saiou, cuz it's the only way I know how lol /lh
