If someone forgives your own incomprehensible actions, the way to repay is to do the same for another. Only then will you forgive yourself.
If a kindness was not given that felt inherently required, the way to get passed that is to give kindness when you'd believe it inherently required.
Seriously you can get over A Lot of your early life by being what wasn't there. Because the issue was There's A Problem, and it was Never Resolved.
You can be that, as silly as that has always sounded, there really is no feeling like being able to Be The One to Do The Right Thing THIS FUCKING TIME.
It means something now. That wasn't Just a Loss, it was Growth, that YOU GREW YOURSELF, instead of letting be demolished, and best of all? Ya Did It For Someone Else! It's no longer a "what-if" of kindness but a reality That Can Happen, and it may happen through them now!
I can't put into enough words, your unblinking kindness will be taken advantage of, but my god, you're just right, seriously, every fucking time. Don't let hurt make you painful, exist in the pain, and stop it from happening to others, if you forget it, you won't be there for them, but that doesn't mean 'let it eat away at you', it means to be prepared for them.
Strongly However, go with your gut, 100% of the time even if you haven't acknowledged it yet, if you're slightly not confident, be kind, but protect yourself, don't let others take from what you've kept this long in your life. You come first, but that might entail doing good for others because that's who you are. Just protect yourself.
Protect what you got, what you are, go with your gut and not your heart, it had more time to think before reaching the brain.
#yeah fuck the man but seriously there's so many fucking cameras and I assure you they're waiting to sue yo#once you reach a certain amount so it can be a felony so like Don't? Don't. but fuck the man#philosophy#how to overcome pain#from social traumas mostly#ramble#also fuck that guy#whoever they were fuuuuuuck em'#Also in this day and age. It's okay if you can't decipher if your kindness is just to inflate your own ego#like bro. That's good shit. That's encouragement to keep doing good. Don't let it get to you of course but like...enjoy being good#some people want to break shit down into a paste that has no answer and I've done that long enough to tell you It just makes you existentia#you never find answers and at some point you have to recognize you ran by the answer for something more complex than is helpful#we're resourceful creatures. Use the resources for help. At some point philosophy just becomes knowing too much to know too little and#thus miss that perspective entirely#limiting your worldview to something unshareable but only feelable. Or basically. A Larp. A daydream even. But not resourceful.#we all have to dumb down because we can't even explain it ourselves#and to some degree it's less dumbing down. And just simplifying. And that's more than valid.#Point is doing good and “being egotistical” are pretty inherent to some degree. We like doing things that have impact. Who knew that made u#feel good about ourselves.#No this is not personally related I just had to think about this for 8 years straight as a teen#nothing I'd know anything about#as always do as a I say not as I am on some days#that's everyone#including you#we're all hypocrites but it comes down to the severity of such#sometimes it's okay that a kid stole some candy from wal-mart ya know#don't encourage it but sometimes#sometimes it's okay to just say#I gotta shit

christ sometimes I just wanna. steal a time machine & go back & sit down next to my 9-year-old self and just like. let them pull out their pokemon card binder & gush about their holographic gyarados or whatever. I'd just smile & ask questions about motherfukcing bulbasaur & tell my kid self that I thought they were a neat person, & someday they'd find other people who thought so too.
like i'm a grown adult who honestly finds most kids stuff boring, but. damn if i could go back & hang out with my baby self & listen to them ramble...just so they knew someone was listening. i would in a heartbeat. thinking about u kid
#wouldn't roll my eyes or check my phone or get bored or nothing#I'd just listen to that little dork & smile & encourage them & let them explain how their favorite gameboy games worked#i was the kind of kid my adult self would find annoying & uninteresting but like#most of the actual adults in my childhood felt that way too. including my dang parents.#and ya know sometimes they showed it. a lot of times without realizing it. and that messes a kid up#if you don't make an effort kids WILL recognize your disinterest and lack of attention.#kids deserve to have caregivers who show interest and engagement#even when it's over stuff that adults find boring. especially then maybe#your kid doesn't have to be fun or interesting or easy or well behaved to deserve positive attention#they deserve positive attention because they are YOUR KID#if love is unconditional then DISPLAYS of LOVE and AFFECTION must also be unconditional#not something that must be earned#telling your kid that you love them is not enough. that is step one out of like a thousand#if you just tell your kid you love them but you don't demonstrate affection and interest and patience and warmth and etcetera#your kid isn't gonna feel loved! I Love You will just become a trite phrase that they regard with mistrust!#bitch you gotta FOLLOW THROUGH

Madoka is the promise you won't turn from a child, full of hopes and dreams and the wish to save the world, into a bitter adult who just wants to hurt others and ruin people's lives
Madoka promised to be there for you to remind you of the person you wanted to be and to stop you from becoming what you sought to destroy
Madoka made that promise and became the very embodiment of it
#Moon posting#Feeling emotional about Madoka Magica all out of the blue and I'm making it your problem#IDK I saw a video in my YT reccs ranking Doremi toys and I really enjoyed it (sadly can't remember who it was)#So I went to check what other content the person had made and they had recently-ish done a blind reaction to Madoka#Didn't watch the whole thing just The Good Shit at like double speed (it was completely uncut and I wasn't in the mood for a full rewatch)#And god. The way the fucking ending to this series still makes me fucking sob like a baby EVEN WHEN WATCHING AT DOUBLE SPEED#I dunno what to tell you I really like that series. Like I just do. Madoka is Good Actually#IDK I feel like everyone has a lot of Opinions about the series and all I can say is that y'all are wrong and don't understand it#MADOKA ISN'T ABOUT BEING EDGY GRIMDARK TORTURE PORN!!! IT'S ABOUT HOPE!! AND DREAMS!! AND NOT GIVING UP!!#Y'all remember that post about how sometimes if you need to imagine Naruto encouraging you to help you get out of bed and brush your teeth#Then you imagine that dattebayo#And that is literally what Madoka is.#Except instead of self-care Madoka is there to stop you from being a toxic little dickweed and be nice to others#Sometimes you need to stop and ask: Would Madoka do that? Would Madoka say that? Would she be proud of me right now?#Don't ask me why I'm posting this it is 5 am I should be in bed man

Sometimes, I'm sad about the hobbies I have abandoned or have been too intimidated to pick up. But... what good is it, to just beat myself up over that? My bass is sitting in the corner, patiently waiting, and so is everything else. My life isn't over, and I've got nothing to answer to. I'm wading through a sea of time, and I'll pick up the seashells that interest me, and it's okay to put one back in the sand. The current's waves will bring it back to me if that is to be destiny. I can not hate myself into productivity, so I must swim on.
I think the same can apply to anybody. It's okay if you have dropped something, such as a hobby or passion. Human beings are like that sometimes, it isn't reasonable for you to beat yourself into submission. You, too, can not hate yourself into being a well-rounded person. You must cultivate it like you would a garden - with patience, time, and care.
#positivity#encouraging words#i feel like so often people will try to hate themselves into being 'better' people...#...like fitness for instance. so many people slog through fitness not because they are interested in moving their body...#..but because they are told they must do [x] workout or look [y] way...#...and so it becomes a chore that is a means to an end. but... is that how we ought to live you think?#like i go to the gym because it's FUN. i go there to have FUN. i do what is enjoyable there!#i don't worry about anything but if i am doing a weightlife correctly (for safety) and if i am moving and having fun#why would i go to the gym if i am not having fun? fun is a *human need* regardless of age!#we are wired to do fun things - to seek out pleasure. why should we surpress that?#a well-rounded person is somebody who can be in-tune with their feelings and can recognize what is enjoyable...#...and not only that but to not feel *bad* about their feelings or needs changing (this is - at least - my opinion)#i thought this was an interesting conversation and something i sometimes struggle with and see others struggle with

I think the biggest reason why the long forms are my favourite sfth thing is that as someone who spends ages writing because the words won't go the way I want immediately, it's amazing to see a group conjure up such wonderful and well-written stories with beautiful arcs and conclusions (plus the healthy doses of chaos), and well fleshed-out characters in the space of like, 30 minutes or less?? On the spot?? And with other people all throwing their ideas in at the same time?? *mind blown*
#shoot from the hip#sfth#shootimpro#and they're consistently good at it every time!#to me it's like wrangling a shared doc and having to edit your thoughts on the fly#the only time i've ever pumped out a story in a similar fashion was school essays#and purely because the brain juices wouldn't flow optimally until the night before—#— AND I didn't want to rewrite the whole thing if I had a new idea by writing way before the deadline 🤣#(thank goodness I eventually realized that laptops exist lol)#but the longforms are really an encouraging reminder that I don't need to overthink things sometimes and just go for it <3#myst's musings

in my rereading flowey is not a good lifecoach era and this shit kinda sucks flowey why are you telling him your life story??? why not go after your curiosity you literally brought up instead of this dumb plot you haven't even thought out like it'd be much more interesting for flowey to try to investigate papyrus's past (wink wink nudge nudge) and figure out why he's the way he is. like generally a more interesting plot. and if you're gonna go with this dumb idea at least manipulate even a LITTLE better flowey you do NOT need to pull out your backstory??? you also wouldn't do that so idk what the fuck you're on about like just go "oh gee ur so cool and strong and i feel so safe around you cause youre the toughest guy ikoww... but im worried bout you cause youre so nice too and you give too many chances 🥺🥺🥺🥺 also undyne's not letting you in the royal guard isn't she so mean for that." like flowey should be a manipulative mastermind why was the best thing he could come up with was just telling papyrus his backstory??? also why does papyrus just take that like bitch you should know that's literally asriel dreemurr?? that's literally his story?
#thank you papyru for heh... encouraging me to give it another look#idek why i thought this was so good i'm already getting annoyed#take it from me; the mascot of having bad takes#lock in... consume things with your brain on sometimes#maybe itll make you like it more and maybe itll make you realize “wait this kinda sucks.”#still mad they didn't go with the much more interesting plot in favor of torture#ooc torture but like torture nonetheless#flowey is not a good life coach#AND he's also fucking stupid apparently??? just go after why papyrus is (according to you) so desperate for affection#why waste your time on a plan you don't even know will work because you have no long game

Send "It's The Little Things" + my muse will tell your muse something that they notice about them.
It can be a habit they notice about your muse, a physical characteristic, a quirk, music they like, how they smell, how they hold themselves, etc.
#asks#rp memes#rp ask meme#I've had this idea in my head for a bit now#I like memes that feel a bit personal/sometimes you don't notice things about your muse that others do.#You can also just send the phrase and a muse if you want to see someone particular if you're an anon.#reblogging is encouraged!

CRYING AND SCREAMING...
10k hits??? I'm going to actually explode
This is my second fic to get this popular, but it took months after finishing it for the blonde dazai au to get anywhere near this
Considering the soulmate au is still ongoing, this is absolutely insane
I'm so grateful to everyone who's been reading, this really did start off as a self indulgent idea that I wasn't sure I was ever going to follow through with and now I have actual friends so :D crazy what fanfic can get you huh
I don't know if this is actually as big of a deal as I'm making it, but I'm so happy and so glad that people have been liking it as much as they have
#I don't know if I've actually properly thanked people for reading yet#but thank you.#genuinely#writing is one of my favourite things to do and i don't know where I'd be without it#and im so glad that something i enjoy doing can make other people happy#I don't think i would have finished this au#at least not as quickly#if it wasn't for all the nice and supportive and encouraging comments and interactions#you all mean the world to me#even if I've never spoken to you#sometimes a nice comment is enough to make my entire day#sometimes you lot are what gets me out my bed in the morning#and I don't know where id be without that#thanks#bsd#ao3 fanfic#silas yaps#soukoku#soukoku fanfiction#bsd fanfic

how many times do we gotta go over it man. thought crime isn't real. it's okay to feel whatever you're feeling. don't let anyone make you feel guilty for having some reflex reaction to stimuli in a way that is out of your control. the question isn't what you think or how you feel, but what you do. do you act upon those thoughts? do you harm others bc of your feelings? that's where you draw the line. keep it in your brain. vent it out in some personal way like a journal or a password locked blog. it's okay i promise
#saw a post abt sex repulsion that i mostly agreed with#until op said being disgusted by like. other people having sex is wrong#and like. i agree that if this is your knee jerk reaction you might need to look into it#but sometimes. it really is just disgust of the idea. like it's none of my business but i still find it unpleasant to see or think about#and as someone who feels guilty constantly abt everything. this is actually smth i don't feel guilty over#bc it's just an emotion and like i can't really help it. but also. I'm not hurting anyone by cringing on the inside#i don't think guilting people for feeling a negative emotion is gonna make them unlearn it i think you're just gonna make them feel awful -#- over a very normal human experience (aka. emotions). all this would lead to is ppl hating themselves for smth they can't help#it's not that deep i just got very mad at that phrasing lol esp bc it was aimed at teenagers#a group that is way more vulnerable to this sort of shit in part due to already experiencing emotions more intensely#tldr: don't do that shit man. encourage positive behavior not thought policing

"I don't think the ~autumn girlies~ understand how debilitating seasonal depression is 😮💨"
Me, an "autumn girlie" with summer seasonal depression: 😐😐😐😐😐
#non religion#mental health stuff#i dread seeing people talk about spring/summer shit the same way you dread people talking about fall#the vast majority of seasonal depression resources and tips and motivations are focused on winter SAD#SAD posts are “the days are getting longer now everyone we made it through the rough part💛”#i think I've only seen one encouragement post about getting through summer seasonal depression#we're hardly taken into consideration or taken seriously#like I'm sorry it sucks. but I'm not gonna complain about people's spring/summer posts like#“the ~spring/summer girlies~ obviously don't understand what seasonal depression is like”#sometimes things are just not for you on the internet!!!!!

am I wrong? genuinely, I'm asking. would it not come off extremely condescending?
#she blocked me after saying that it wouldn't be talking down to because POC are my peers and it's like...#that's not how talking down to someone works?#yes they ARE my peers. so are the white people I'm explicitly talking down to#they are my peers and thus i respect that they have a lot more experience and knowledge than i do about this topic#and i decide not to condescend to them about it or slap them on the wrist for saying something i think is in poor taste#like idk man#I'm trying to talk to people who might actually listen to me rather than people who have no reason to#is that so bad?#like i was literally talking to a mixed guy about this and he was like#yeah i do mostly agree with you in reality but it's hard to not bask in a little shaudenfreude when it happens#and i was like yeah i think that's whatever and you should feel however you feel but perhaps the basking should be kept private#like... idk we're all human we all have shitty emotional responses sometimes and need to vent sometimes.#sometimes you do say something off colour to your friends when youre pissed off and hurting#but i DON'T think we should be encouraging this behaviour publicly. because it emboldens people#you say your shitty things in private to your friends who get it or you keep them in your mind and then you get up and try to help people#regardless of if theyre shitheads or not you should be feeling compassion and you should be offering them your hand#THAT'S what i have to say to POC who have been venting like this.#what do i have to say to white people who are venting in this way? shut the fuck up and go do some work.#stop self victimising and celebrating racist violence against people you see as your enemy#grow up#there IS a difference between lateral violence and punching down and that difference matters in the discussion of how to stop it.#the system speaks

the disparity in kudos between a skk fic and a fic for literally any other bsd characters/ship :/
#like okay i get it skk is the most popular bsd ship by a longshot#but it does kinda suck that my skk fics will always end up being more popular than literally anything else i write for bsd#when i have way better fics tbh#okay i'm unleashing this from my drafts lol#like i get it kudos/hits/bookmarks counts aren't telling of how good a fic is#but out of my last five fics. my skk one has ONE HUNDRED kudos more than the next most kudos#and idk it also sucks that i know my skk is better than 90% of the fandom but. even my skk fics get significantly less kudos/etc#than big writers in the fandom who AREN'T EVEN GOOD#or are like. mid at best#i know in theory that the bsd fandom doesn't care about characterization but like. not only do they encourage bad characterization#it feels like sometimes they're actively against good characterization#even in j.jk and a.tla where there are major issues with bad characterization#more people seem to at least appreciate the good characterization. (even if they aren't good at it themselves.)#but i swear to god no one in the bsd fandom cares about anything besides whether dazai and chuuya are kissing. it begins and ends there.#it never ceases to amaze me (derogatory) how a fandom where the source media draws So Much inspiration from classic literature#can somehow have NEGATIVE media literacy skills#why don't you guys take a break from your edgy dazai x softboy chuuya fics and you fems.kk with dazai in skimpy clothes and your#beast chuuya sobbing and killing himself over dazai's death#and go read some of the books by the actual authors. and then write me an essay about the themes that has nothing to do with shipping.#and THEN you can come back to the fandom.#listen i love skk but oh my god sometimes the fandom makes me hate them.#anyway one of these days i'm going to get anon hate for complaining about the bsd fandom so much but that's fine#at least i know there are characters in the show besides dazai and chuuya. and when i do write skk AT LEAST I DO IT RIGHT.#hello grace here

I'm half-tempted to just nuke my discord.
#i feel so inordinately petty because of this#and maybe i'm a shit person for it#but i'm just really fucking frustrated#i joined discord to try and make friends in a fandom space#and same with tumblr#and i get it#i can't make people like me#i can't make people like the stuff i make#sometimes people's personalities and interests don't align#and i know i'm not the most outgoing person#but i just feel so fucking left out and sidelined in these spaces the vast majority of the time#all the interactions and relationships feel so fucking lopsided#i hesitate to engage with other folks and share my own stuff now because of it and it's supposed to be a space where that's encouraged#i hate feeling like no one gives a shit about the things i make#especially the things i'm spending the most fucking time on and am the most passionate about#it feels like everyone is getting hyped up except me#seemingly no one reads or cares about anything i write#like i'm not even worth the time of the people i've “known” the longest even the ones that are supposedly interested in the same things#i feel like an asshole for admitting all this and for feeling this way#but i'm also just tired of trying to encourage and cheerlead for other people and not getting anything in return#i just feel so fucking lost in the crowd
