Random but whew finally another bowuigi artist/writer who isn't into proship stuff! Too many artists I like end up being creeps, that or while they are not into it are fast to call people antis and block for simply setting up boundaries and keeping a distance when it comes to content or people that make them uncomfortable (like just because you can tolerate a mutual that makes stuff you're not always about doesn't mean everyone else has to tolerate and accept people like that interacting with them ew)

UUUHHHH mention of incest n such

Yeah, I've noticed that it is a pattern for Bowuigi artists I used to like. (I've seen a few artist on Twitter who've been revealed/straight up draw incest. Mainly, Mario n Luigi. I've also seen Bowser n Bowser Jr. IT MAKES NO SENSE.). This has given me a LOT of trust issues in any artist I come across, so I tend to keep my distance from creators.... I should probably learn to unpack that..

I never really understood the appeal of being a proshipper and while I do like to draw n write Bowuigi, I'm not gonna do EVERY request.

I remember a specific artist I used to like on Instagram, then found out about the proshipper stuff they were doing on Twitter and when they got called out, were completely immature. Heck, they ended up with more support from:

A.) The followers that say they don't like the artist, just the safe Bowuigi art/art style (basically the "I just like the art not the artist" argument)

B.) Were from other proshippers in the community

It was weird and I immediately blocked them once they responded immaturely.

I guess the only thing I can say I ship that is 'weird' is Daisy x Mario (I have art of them that'll be kept private for a bit 'til I feel comfortable)

If ya don't ship Bowuigi and you still like my posts/blogs/rambles, it's all good.

There are definitely more decent Bowuigi artists out there, hard to find tho...

Hobie my dad is sexist homophobic racist EVEN THOUGH HES A MAN OF COLOUR wtf 😭😭😭😭???

What the hell? How can a man of that stature be racist, when he probably knows what it's like to feel singled out.

And homophobic and sexist? Who hurt brother,

Out of all seriousness, I'm sorry you have to live with that narcissistic (probably) prick

Keep on doing you, and don't take after him

Dude so i have this best friend and we were normal friends before being best friends because she had another best friend but she dropped her and i honestly thought like „oh yeah she probably got tired of her“ and didn’t think anything of it. So we were best friends for a 1 year now and she is one of those people that get mad easily and have communication problems.. and everyone would tell her that but she never did anything about it. So everytime we „fought“ for no reason i was always the one to ask her what’s wrong lets talk about it first. But she would always answer my texts if i ask her. So we are in a friendgroup but around 4 weeks ago she started acting all distant and stuff but i didn’t mind cause she still talked to me normally and we still called everyday and met up. We drive with the same bus and aftee she enters the bus i give her a smile, she smiles back. And since the bus is full whenever someone says something funny, we give eachother looks like sll best friends do, which we did. After going out of the bus she was pissed but i didn’t know wtf her problem was cause we literally called the night before and on the bus everything seemed normal. Regardless since school hasn’t started yet we always go to the cafeteria and i still sat next to her, cause i didn’t do anything. I asked her something and she answered pissed for no reason. In recess we usually go together but this time she just ran away from me, and i didn’t know wtf i did. In art class we sit next to eachother and suddenly she needed something so she asked me. And then i was like dirst tell me what’s wrong wtv and she was like „why are you always looking at me like that” and i was like im literally not doing anzthing and then we talked about it and i had guessed that everyhing is okay again , usually she waits for me but she just ran away again. I still drove the same bus as her even though it takes longer to go home . The day after we didn’t talk at all. So i asked her again like always what’s wrong. And she left me on read this time. Bro i was soo pissed. Then we didn’t talk for a week and 2 days. So as i said we had 4 fridays to go to this other school right. So we got paired up together and talked like best friends again. And everyone was like „omg they are talking again“ etc. after school she texted me smth i answered and she just left me on seen, that was 1 week and 2 days ago and we didn’t talk at all since then she ignored me but keeps blaming it on me saying i talk shit abt her which is bs. I guess she’s just a bad friend, but people still ask me every single day what’s wrong cause they know she wouldn’t answer and since we were known to be best friends. I know shes an asshole but i still miss her😭

Sorry for making this so long, but i can’t talk to anyone about this except for one person and that’s not enough 😭

Also i can’t anon send pictures:( i tried before, and congratulations on your graduation!!!

-d

JUST NOW READING THIS OMG

i know i have no place to say this but she’s really giving fake friend energy!! if she doesn’t want to talk it out, it’s her fault. She would be the one throwing the friendship away :(

do you think she might be in a bad place mentally? maybe some space will help?

i’m sorry this is happening to you, sometimes a friend break up is worse than a romantic one :(

SENDING A VIRTUAL HUGG <3

make sure to focus on yourself too! don’t let this get between you and your health <3

Quick Notes: Chapter 228

I’ve been on this website for about a year and only now is this becoming my only meaningful interactions with this website. This is what it’s like being a working adult. Let’s go.

I’d like this cover more if Rebecca were in a blue suit.

“If only I could fight as well... then I could be of help to you...“ Oh dear, this isn’t going to be good for a while.

The crazy thing is that Sister is right that the Rutherfords should be grateful to her, but that doesn’t matter in this universe. Consider also, that the EZ Crew’s in a worse mess because of her.

It’s going to be so weird to see all of these reunions and recollections. Like,what’s going to get everyone to remember what they’re supposed to.

We now bring you back to Rebecca’s bondage session.

What’s crazy is that everyone can use Overdrive. This is obviously nerfed by virtue of everyone else not being able to use them the same way they could before, but still...

“Do not let Rebecca-san use such powerful ether.” A bit late on that one, Pino.

“Looks like any kind of restraint would suit you. Huh? Could it be that you’re already trained in this?” I hate that this is doesn’t feel like a throwaway line.

Ladies and gentleman, it’s time to welcome back our good friend: Elie Heartfilia. (until Rebecca gets back to using her Ether Gear)

I’m not going to talk about that last line at all.

See you!

Hi 👋

Iam writing to you, appealing to our shared humanity, to help me to share and reblog my story and my family’s fundraising campaign. 🙏

Iam Samer Abu Ras, my wife Shorouq, and our three children, including a baby 👶🏻 who is not yet two years old.

We are enduring unimaginable suffering due to the ongoing war, constantly moving from place to place in search of safety. We live in harsh conditions within tents, having lost our home and everything we owned. Our eldest son, Qusay, has had heart problems 💔since birth and urgently needs medical 💊follow-up after undergoing several surgeries. I humbly request a donation of 5$or more if you can my friend and if u can’t just support us enough for me.🌹 to help us travel to a safe place where we can continue Qusay’s treatment and provide a better life for our children.

In conclusion, my family and I thank you 🌺from the bottom of our hearts ♥️for accepting our message. ❤️🌹❤️

Note: My friend, if you wish to donate, please be aware that the currency used in the fundraising campaign is the Swedish krona. Every 50 kronor is equivalent to 5 $dollars, 100 kronor is equivalent to 10 $dollars, and so on.

ILL TRY MY BEST TO PITCH IN, I HOPE THINGS GET BETTER AND I HOPE YOU REACH OR GET PAST THE GOAL, I HOPE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY CAN GET A NEW, BETTER LIFE AND EVERYTHING GETS PATCHED UP!!

my top bit of advice going into the new year: compliment people. especially strangers. literally everyone you interact with if you can. when you buy coffee in the morning compliment the barista's tattoos. when you're chatting with a coworker tell them that by the way you like their outfit. always find something they've chosen to do on purpose. nail polish, jewellery, tattoos, hair colour/style, statement accessory, outfit, etc are all good bets. things people hope will be noticed. things that aren't too personal so it doesn't make them uncomfortable (eg probably not their physical features). i've gotten into the habit of scanning everyone i talk to for something about them that i think is cool so i can tell them. it's a great habit because it makes me notice people and realise just how many neat little details there are in people's presentation of themselves that might pass me by if i wasn't paying attention. and it brings out so much joy. you'd be surprised how much it disarms people to receive an unexpected compliment from someone they don't know. it is the most sincere smile you will see all day long. it feels nice to make people happy but it also means you win the social interaction. establish dominance by complimenting a stranger's earrings and disappearing into the fog

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

[plain-text version of this post can be found under the cut]

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

Scary Sunset.

I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.

i think one of the coolest things about dan howell is the example he sets of how your life isn’t over at 25, and one person won’t fix your life but you still can. dan met his actual soulmate at 18 and is only now, in his 30s, finding true and genuine happiness and fulfillment. meeting phil didn’t automatically solve all his problems, although he was clearly a significant part of the motivation to bother doing the work at all. but dan still put in the work himself for YEARS to improve himself and his life and it WORKED. your life isn’t over if you aren’t completely happy and fulfilled and the person you wish you could be in your 20s. putting in the work takes time but it is WORTH IT.
