#i know you mean well

unstoppable force (orym's compulsion to sacrifice himself if it might protect the ones he loves for even a moment) vs immovable object (ashton's uncompromising commitment to the "we do not leave people the fuck behind" agenda)

you should totally take a break! you’re an awesome creator, and i do really love your designs, ideas, and all of that but.. you clearly need one, what you were describing really sounds like burnout to me and if you don’t take a break now it’ll just get worse :(

I mean, a break sounds nice in theory I guess, but here’s the thing. These fankid requests are like, literally everything I do. They are my life

I can’t just not do them, they’re all I do. Like legit, how many drawings of anything other than fankids or other random OCs I’ve created have you seen me make in the past year, or at least since the fall? Barely any!

Not to mention I can barely draw anything else anymore. I can’t think of random stuff for characters to be doing that I can draw, I can’t draw anything that isn’t a Cookie anymore, and I don’t have the patience for nice art pieces anymore because I just want to post whatever one thing I’ve drawn instead of having some patience anymore. They’ve ruined me and yet it’s all I am, they’re the only thing I’m good at, it’s all I have. If I don’t draw them then I don’t draw

And also I’ll feel guilty about leaving people’s request to rot in the meantime. I still have a couple requests from last March, nearly a year ago now. I should make people wait longer than I already have?

So basically in conclusion, while taking a break sounds kind of nice, and it’d probably be for the best, I just can’t do that, or rather I won’t

U missed a spot

Is this cyberbullying?

I think this counts as cyberbulling

Hey I know people mean well when they reply things like "please remember to take care of yourself!!" when replying to me talking about getting work done, but also: have you considered........I need to do work.......to.......take care of myself........

Like I'm all about self-care and all that, but also, self-care isn't just taking the day off and bubble baths and buying gifts for yourself. It's also managing your time and making sure you get paid and make money. I know I'm constantly working on shit, but this IS how I make money TO take care of myself.

It's a small thing, but a slight adjustment of language, like saying "I hope you can find time to relax" really does go a long way.

ok so I’m fat I’ll say that it isn’t an insult it’s just what I am and I didn’t realize that so many people were insulting me when they say I have a pretty face like is my whole body not pretty like I’m beautiful fat in all and I also didn’t realize how much I’ve over sexualized myself to make myself feel better about being bigger I’m ace as well and it made me question myself so much more it made the whole time I was trying to figure that out 10 times harder

but I’m slowly realizing and coming to terms with the fact that I’m beautiful and I don’t have to sexualize myself to be in relationships and just feel pretty in general

and that’s progress I’m accepting me for me even if I’m trying to change my body the me now and the me later are both going to be pretty even if my body looks or doesn’t look different

It frustrates me when people see somebody doing something like singing really well and they say "oh wow you should be a singer!" Like not everybody is meant to do everything as a job. The world needs those people who shock everybody at karaoke with their powerful voice, the people in the back of class drawing beautiful faces instead if doing their work, the world needs the tumblr poets, the kids with piles of notebooks full of beautiful writing, the world needs these little pockets of joy in everyday life, the world needs proof that you don't have to make money from everything you enjoy.

🪴In times when everything feels overwhelming and your inner world is heavy, know that your strength is not defined by how you feel. Even if today feels dark, you’re still a person of immense value and worth. Take things one moment at a time, and remember that your existence has a quiet resilience. You are doing your beset, and something to be proud of🪴

okay so like Fearne and Chetney had a threesome with Chetney's ex Deanna in some haunted woods, and then Chetney offered up an open invitation for some "sexual healing" to anyone in the group, but like especially Orym and Ashton, and like, especially Ashton, who was kind of actually considering it. which is funny bc Ashton also has this flirtation with Fearne, and they just held hands naked in lava, which freaked Orym out because Orym and Fearne are best friends, and also he and Ashton have this emotional support rock, narrative parallels thing going on. Ashton has a similar thing with Laudna, but with significantly more bitching and significantly less intricate rituals and blatant ogling. and Laudna is very much shacked up with Imogen regardless, and if they were to open up their relationship to anyone it would absolutely be Fearne, who will probably ask them the second she finds out they're together, bc the only one they've actually told is Chetney, who is probably not Orym's dad but may be Orym's dad. which is a little weird, given that before this was suggested Chetney had sexually propositioned Orym multiple times, and Orym wasn't not interested, but this is somehow not the first time basically this exact thing has happened on this show. Fearne and Chetney tried to sleep with Orym's mom. FCG is also here. and actually got laid before any of these people, with FRIDA, who, funnily enough, is Deanna's best friend-

the easy grip on the knife. the leg over the seat. the hand over the other seat. the sassy "come get it" move. you know the bitch is smiling behind that mask even as he said the line.

Why is it when introverts are just casually EXISTING, they get called out for it with people being all like "why don't you talk more?" or "are you sad/mad/worried?" or the worst "are you mad at ME?!" Like no, leave me alone, you nosy bunch a' bananas and how 'bout YOU shut up for a change, hmm'k?

Can the introvert community get a little bit of decency people?

That thing people do with female characters where they like, in their attempts to compensate for the unfairly negative way that female characters are often treated by fandoms they end up overshooting and just making them Too Good and flawless and endlessly caring and loving and patient and incapable of doing or being wrong and just removing everything that's distinctive about the character, making her completely flat & forgettable & uninteresting, because they don't want to say anything about her or depict her doing anything that might possibly be interpreted negatively.
