I said something similar to these on someone else’s posts but omg POOR Gorgug during The Bad Kids and The Rat Grinders’ square up. Like they are SHOWERING Mary Ann with praise and he’s RIGHT THERE

"I'm just gonna go to sleep" is kept up by the insecurities instead.

do you know how to deal with feeling inadequate in your body?

ive said before im not (and do not want to be) a therapist, so i doubt im who you should be asking this question to! that being said, i might be able to hand out at least a little advice...

a very good place to start is to stop comparing yourself to other people. if its your body that youre worried about, dont compare what your body looks like to everyone elses. its a waste of time and energy! everyones body is unique, everyones body functions differently in different aspects, everyone progresses towards how they want to look (if they are wanting to change) at different paces. dont chase after someone elses impossible shape. thats not to say that you cant change aspects of your body that you dislike! you can! but rather you need to learn about your own body and what you can do with it, as opposed to comparing yourself to others.

the second advice i would give in conjunction to the previous one, is to not talk down about yourself. find things to like about yourself instead! if you dont have any, look harder, or find a way to make one. but whatever you do, dont constantly insult yourself. if you are always telling yourself that your body is unlikable, then of course you are not going to like it... i have seen so many different people, and i guarentee you that so many people dislike how they look. but none of them actually look as bad as they think they do. find something to like about yourself, even if its just one or two little things!

Emu 🤝 Rui “I’m so selfish for pursuing the thing I want and feeling basic normal human emotions (that I don’t think I should be allowed to feel)” l… emu saying that for the longest time she felt like her dream to keep PXL (and the wonder stage) from drastically changing was selfish and feeling like she was the only one who wanted that after her grandpa died & becoming shackled to that dream & being unable to leave PXL because it’s what she’s been fighting for for so long and it’s what she has left of her grandpa and it’s so hard to let go and trust that she succeeded and isn’t abandoning or failing her grandpa if she’s not still putting everything she has into the park vs rui viewing his desire to keep his friends together and hold onto wxs as something selfish/something that is interfering with what his friends are working towards (even though they all want to stay together as well) and wishing that he didn’t have to feel any emotions because he’s spent so long without connections like these that fighting for them & being anxious about losing them is entirely alien and new to him and to wish for anything but letting wxs go is something he views as selfish. Dreams and desires as a burden and source of constant guilt instead of them being the light at the end of the tunnel. “I’m a bad person for pursuing what I want/what will make me happy but I’m still going to pursue it I’m just going to berate myself for it as I do so” & the fear of letting go of the happiness you’ve found after looking for it for so long because surely if you do you’ll be right back at square one. Emu struggling to accept that nene & tsukasa have dreams that will take them beyond the wonder stage and rui struggling to accept that all of their goals (including his own) are incompatible in the long run and to reach them they’ll have to split up.

Lately I've been thinking about how tik tok has some odd views on friendship. Lots of people complain about not wanting to burden themselves with anyone else's problems and whatnot (in relation to friends sharing their issues, and asking for help and/or support) and like I get it to an extent sure, but it feels so individualistic, egotistical, self centered even.

To me it's like wanting all the fun of having a friend but without the responsibility of caring for them and their well being in any way other than superficially. Like, the moment someone wants to get real for a minute, needs help and is not all fun and games anymore they're suddenly being disrespectful, they're not caring for your peace and are instantly a bad friend like ?????????????

@star-wars-nexus​ haha I am both a good and bad person to ask this. Bad bc Consular is my favorite storyline so I am incredibly biased, good bc Consular is my favorite storyline when a lot of people write it off.😂

I really love the Consular story. It’s slower paced than some of the others, and doesn’t have the thriller feel of the Agent or the same in-your-face badassery of the Sith classes, but I feel like it’s one of the better stories at transitioning between acts, so it’s also smoother, if that makes sense? (Especially act 2 into act 3) And I honestly enjoy that it’s quieter and more subtle at telling its story. Also,it’s mentioned several times that you’re one of the more powerful Force users in the galaxy, so while it may be less in your face, you’re still a Badass.

The Consular deals a lot with themes of agency, responsibility, sacrifice, and forgiveness. If you’ve played a Knight and done the stuff with Kira being a Child of the Emperor? Yeah, the Children are a BIG part of the Consular story later in the game. So there’s some more you learn about them, which I think it neat. (Fingers crossed for more in the next patch)

It’s less a thing now that you can switch up class/origin, but Kinetic Combat Shadow makes me feel like the biggest badass in the galaxy and is handsdown no contest my favorite thing to play(almost all my Force users added it as second spec if they didn’t already have it, my SW hasn’t switched back to Mara since xD)

I’m trying to think of ways to talk it up without spoiling too much in case you haven’t played it yet and want the surprise. let’s see.... the companions are great, I think it might be the only class where I like all of them a lot. My one gripe would be how late you get the romances. You don’t pick up Felix until you finish Hoth, and Nadia(my beloved <3) doesn’t join as a companion until after Belsavis, but she’s been traveling with you and engages in ship cutscenes for act 2 and 3 even before she’s a companion. So you get to know her and build a relationship even before you can take her on missions with you.

The ending... OOOOOOOOH the ENDING. You can drastically alter your ending depending on your dialogue options with a certain NPC. We’re talking life or death, redemption or destruction level alter, and I love it so much.

sometimes I think I’m getting better at dealing with my fear of failure and stuff and then sometimes I say one thing that’s wrong and I can’t stop thinking about it the whole day

[burialuntrue2007]

Im going through an intense period of self discovery right now and it’s really hard because my first response to what I find is often fear and shame

[bragganhyl]

ngl i've been feeling weird (bad) about both my art and my writing so... yeah sorry for sitting on my hands but yeah i'm hoping it goes away soon

[jaynovz]

Sometimes I simply cannot sit and try to ponder silverflint in its entirety or I will explode

Or, more accurately, just dissolve into a saltwater puddle 😭
