#i could say so much more

[parkersloths]

A bit late but oh well, it's still the 21st somewhere and this is more of a bday week thing anyway ;u;

I actually didn't have time to draw a new pic cause I've been super busy but I still wanted to do something so here's an edited/more finished version of the first Käärijä pic I tried drawing then left as a WIP, with a little bday tiara of course! Seriously though, I hope he had the best day, his music and general silliness have brought me a lot of joy and smiles and other nice vibes so yeah I just really appreciate this weird little green guy ;u;

john watson is so good luck babe coded. especially the bridge.

UR SO RIGHT!! AAGHH!!

john watson who has had so many consecutive gfs that he got them confused. (one of those gfs saying he’d be a good bf to sherlock)

john watson who so adamantly denies that he’s gay, even at the slightest implication.

john watson who cheated on his wife and said ‘I’m not the man you thought I was. I’m not that guy. I never could be’ (he was bored by domesticity and lack of risk, yet risk was linked to sherlock from the very beginning - he needed ‘risk’ again)

I don't know if people really understand the effect simple things have on others. As a fanfiction author, yes I write my weird little stories for myself, but once you get a comment or a kudos or a vote or whatever it may be, everything sort of shifts.

It gains a sense of responsibility yes, but it also gains a new excitement. For example, we've all been that little kid scribbling away with a crayon. We're going to do other similar crayon drawings, but nothing feels as good as showing that little picture to your parent, guardian, or whoever else. I and the other authors/artists are that little kid with the crayon drawing.

If you leave a comment, I will always remember that. Even if it's just 'good chapter.' or 'im about to commit murder 😃🔪' or '❤️❤️❤️'. Authors and artists remember these things!! If you are one of the people who leave essay comments, I have to sit down and take a minute to calm down enough to have a coherent reply. You dear friend, are wonderful.

If you keep coming back or leave multiple comments, I REMEMBER YOU!! I may even consider you a fandom friend or in Tumblr language, a mutual! I see you!!!!!

If you make art, or a story of your own, or make a translation,,,,,, I would die for you. I save the art. I look at it. I downloaded it to my camera roll and favorite it. I read your fic. I comment on it as well. I recommend your translation in the authors note because that may be more convenient for people to read.

I try to express just how much it means to me that you did any of the above things especially the things in the last paragraph. The words don't word. I end up going, "I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!" And "jteaykrsktrsotaptd" and it doesn't work. Well, not entirely. That may send the message across mostly. You see that on your side of the screen and on my side, you would see me pacing, talking to myself about how wow that is amazing and so sweet and oh my heck I would die for you, and doing a weird jazz hands thing and putting my hand over my heart, and sitting down because I need a minute-, and I never forget.

It makes me want to do so much more. It makes me love my weird little creation that much more and grants motivation. I ALWAYS remember. And I think about it all the time. And when I post more I think, 'oh, I hope this meets their expectations and I hope they like it!!' And 'wow I'm getting better at this, I wonder if they noticed?' And 'wow I love and appreciate you so much!'

Even if it's a little thing, it means the world to us little crayon drawing people.

Oohh what abt Swiss and Ifrit is that rare enough? I just think those two together would have the nastiest filthiest sex where both are refusing to give up dominance (until one of them finally pushes the right buttons to make the other go brainless. I think Swiss sometimes cheats and uses his quintessence to ease his way into iffies mind)

~ @atmosghoul

Atmos oh my gid

I think my brain fucking short circuited

Ifrit is kind beefy and stupid but oh Swiss gives him a run for his money in every department

And Swiss being ever the trouble maker has no problem messing with him, honestly thought he’d be easy to get underneath him from the way ifrit usually presents himself.

So when Swiss puffs out his chest and acts all dominate to him and ifrit just challenges him back?

Both of them desperately pressed against each other in mock anger, forcing their limbs to do what they want until one of them finally gives up. Rough and sloppily making out against the wall, ifrit pinning Swiss while Swiss reaches to rub at ifrits quickly hardening cock, heard he gets real stupid when he’s horny.

And sure Swiss sometimes just uses the quintessence to force him down but I think he fucking loves the thrill of the physical fight, the unknown of if he will win or not

“Who they want you to be, who they wanted to see, just leave the party with me, and never go home!” in planetary and “I am not the singer that you wanted but a dancer, I refuse to answer” in sing

something about refusing to live up to expectations, something about what a major departure danger days was from the band’s previous formula as a project so absolutely bursting with color and joy, something about scrapping paper kingdoms, the darkest thing they ever produced, because it wasn’t the art they wanted to make, something about gerard being more expressive about their gender identity with on-stage costumes during the return, but still not wearing them every night because he refused to make this version of himself into just another stage persona

[techutones]

Wanting to say the most diabolical thing but holding it back and then saying "I would say something bad, but I won't" so they know to be grateful and thank me for not being worse

[henryshakesmear]

I don't think people should be expected to love someone who has hurt them deeply unconditionally just because they're family.

If your parents abused you, you have every right not to love them the same way you no longer need to love a friend or a lover when they've hurt you badly.

All kinds of love have one condition, and that condition is that that love doesn't make any of the people involved in it miserable.

Some relationships are irredeemable, even if you're related by blood or by law.

It's not heartless or ungrateful or petty to stop loving a family member. It's just the consequence of their actions.

(Not to mention that you don't have to love a family member in the first place just because they're family. You don't owe anyone love by default.)

i almost feel like--i'm at the point where i can't really "get more normal," with therapy and practice. i'm not sure if i've reached my limit or just a really long plateau but either way, i feel like my focus now should be on adapting my lifestyle so that it is a comfortable one for my needs.

like: forcing myself to try to be More Comfortable in random people's presence isn't helping me grow any more--i think it's kind of hurting me in other ways. i need to find a way to have a lifestyle where i interact with fewer people at work, and where i can be in places where i can maybe meet a person who doesn't set me on edge.

again, having complex trauma means most people set me on edge to some extent, and i have made a lot of improvement in this regard and kind of think i can't make any more?

and maybe living a more comfortable life each day will continue boosting my journey to self-confidence which will grow my mental health further.

i kind of feel like izzy in izzy, willy-nilly (i bet no one has read that lol) where she does a ton of exhausting physical therapy to be able to support her prosthetic leg, and then she does make improvements but at the end of the day she still has a prosthetic leg and not a real one. like at the end of the day i have a brain that got fucked up so early on that there is no me without it. i'm probably never going to be a person that's just...comfortable around people. so finding a lifestyle where I'M comfortable is my goal, and i think that's going to be impossible to find.

idk. i find this kind of acceptance of myself very powerful and liberating. i remind myself whenever something is getting me down that i'm a person with invisible disabilities that actually have quite an impact on most aspects of my life. or, okay, perhaps virtually ALL aspects of my life, tbh. i can perform some level of neurotypicality very well but at such detriment to myself that i think i've burnt out and have no more pretending to give. i just sincerely don't know how to find a better life. i only have job experience in one particular field and it's a very Social one. i'm kinda committed to my current job through june 2024 (too far away...) but after that i feel like i need to make a change but don't know what or how.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him

[timelessbian]

actually that ao3 post about calculating kudos-to-hits ratios to decide if a fic is worth reading has me so pissed off. someone put real time and energy into something they are SHARING WITH YOU FOR FREE on a site where you can quite literally filter and search by anything you want and you're STILL trying to find a foolproof method to find stuff that's "good enough to read"???

YOU ARE NOT THE TARGET AUDIENCE FOR EVERYTHING

you don't have to like or read everything in a given fandom or tag, but you also don't have to be a cunt about it and imply that it's not worth reading. this is the kind of shit that moves people to stop creating altogether, and to see people agreeing in the tags is so disheartening. absolutely unserious behavior.

[meltedmush]

Sorry! 😭

Remind yourself that this is temporary.

“This will mean I can’t transition” could be more accurately framed as “parts of my transition will have to be delayed.”

This won’t last forever. One day, your body is going to feel like a home. One day, you’ll have people who call you what you want to be called. One day, you’ll look in the mirror and see yourself. Please make sure you’re around long enough to see it. Sending you so much love.
