#except it isn't

[akashirl]

consuming akashi seijuro to the point where i literally become him. he's my biggest inspiration but also my highest kin and i mirror his every move into my daily life. i have his exact height, the same mbti, cut my hair to match his, have some of his talking mannerisms, share the same hobbies (basketball and horseriding) and now i'm considering dyeing my hair red. would it be too crazy if we just became selfcest, i think that would be funny.

obsession goes whoosh. but also i need to become him.

PISSING MYSELF

[in-restless-walks]

[impulsivelycontentious]

It's very important, very, very, very important to know this.

People can love you and hurt you.

Love is not all you need. It isn't enough. Relationships between people require work. Romantic ones yes. But also friendships. Also *familial*. Treating someone well requires THOUGHT, not just instinct, not just feeling. You have to decide to do it and decide ro do it over and over and over again - *and so do they*.

And sometimes, for whatever reason, they don't. They can love you and that love isn't enough. It never will be. Because something in them just doesn't get to the part where they have to think and work. This can be true of parents, siblings, friends, and lovers.

Love isn't the force you were taught it was by commonly held mythology. The power of friendship, the impossible to break bonds of blood. They're not *just* love. They are choice.

People can hurt people they love. We're complex like that. Love isn't enough. It isn't. I'm sure my mother loved me or at least the idea of me. It didn't stop most of the things she did, because she prioritized her own feelings and wants to the degree that it was unhealthy for me to have a relationship with her.

That can happen.

It's important to know someone can love you and it is STILL unhealthy for you. Still better for you to back out. You can still go even when they love you.

And this, this is also very important, you can still go when you still love them, too. And sometimes you have to.

things haven't been great but i think they will be. eventually 🌻🌼🩷

"AO3 doesn't need a "dislike" button"

Um, actually, it already has one. Depending on your specs, it might look a little different but over all it looks kinda like this:

You can find it at the corner of your screen, which corner is dependent on your layout.

Anyway, if you dislike a fic, you can hit this Dislike Button until the fic goes away. It really is pretty amazing actually.

If you write one thing, you have written.

If you have written multiple things, you may be a writer.

If you can't stop writing, you're definitely a writer.

I can't not write. I just wish it paid the bills.

Hello Mnr. Neilman

When can someone call themselves a writer?

I had this conversation with a friend a while ago and he believes you can only call yourself a writer if you've published multiple books, are famous/known for writing and have won an award. I have no published works, but define myself as a writer. So what makes someone a writer? Do they have to write something everyday, have written and/or published a book? Received a "bestseller" sticker?

When did you start calling yourself a writer? Sorry for all the questions, I am typing this in a state of fearful respect.

I started calling myself a writer the day I woke up and decided that, yes, I was a writer. I was 22.

One of my favorite parts of yugioh is that it is a horror manga

And a coming of age anime wrapped in so many metaphors it kinda isn't anymore???

i wrote an interactive poem for my girlfriend in 3 parts. she said you need to read it.

go here: take only the final quiz or take all 3. i don't mind. it's sad, though. this is a poem about choice. about fate and mental illness and how love fits inside of all of it. this is a poem about a long dark hallway. mostly this is a poem about mango sushi rolls.

good luck. i love you. despite it all, i'm hopeful.

Really glad to report that there is yuri in Gundam After War X

Because I have just seen this specific thing for the second time, I would like to say:

If I reblog your art, I do not expect you to reblog (or share!) my fic in return

If I comment on your fic, I do not expect you to comment on (or read!) mine in return

My enjoyment of anyone's work does not come with strings or expectations

My friendship is not a bill that you will have to pay later

That's it!

something about s1-3 zane is just. oh this guy is so silly and friend-shaped. look at his friendly boy swag. like????? how could you ever hate him. the ultimate silly

not to hate on his titanium era because frankly it is very cool. but the essence of s1-3 zane is unique and uncapturable. he is just a little guy you can put in your pocket. his default facial expression is so inherently funny. there are no thoughts behind these eyes. i would trust him with my life.

Happy Lunar New Year, fellow goblins!

Today (29th January) officially marks the first day in accordance with the lunar calendar. This year belongs to the Wood Snake! 🪵🌳🐍💖

Those born under this slithery zodiac sign are said to very enigmatic and intuitive. Private and reserved, Snakes tend to act according to their own judgements. They are also very determined to accomplish their goals and dislike failure.

Wood Snakes in particular are charming, intelligent and creative, with a refined taste. However they may also be overly secretive, cunning and sometimes ruthless.

My Wood Snake is inspired by the colours of the Rainbow Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus deglupta) and the bark pattern of the Chinese Elm (Ulmus parvifolia). It also has Ganoderma lingzhi fungi growing from its body. This particular fungus is known as the mushroom of immortality and is revered in traditional Chinese medicine.

Wishing all of us the very best year to come, and may the Wood Snake bring us lots of happiness and positive changes. 💖

Last part for old GF sketches

(Actually, most of these aren't old at all, but their average is brought down by the last picture, which I drew back in August and kept forgetting to post)
