I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

#mental health #mental health support #positivity #if anybody has ideas of their own definitely include them!#i just think being stuck with this feeling that you don't have autonomy and that you ultimately aren't an equal person or a person at all..#...in comparison to other people can be a really troubling and dangerous place to be in...#...and that isn't the person's fault for feeling that way. they didn't pluck those thoughts out of thin air...#...like i have felt that exact way all my LIFE because i have been abused for. probably 2/3s of my life...#...only within these past few years have i even FELT alive. frankly it's going to take a while to repair what i have been left with...#...so i know the feeling and i want to help others feel even a LITTLE bit alive. you deserve it...#...you deserve to take in a deep breath before slowly realizing 'oh my gd this is what it feels like to be alive' and SMILE about it #i want that for you even if it is brief. even if it is small. even if it is a whisper. i want you to feel alive #unironically getting rid of the idea of 'guilty pleasures' has made my life SO much better

for context: I read the hobbit first over the course of two years when I was like 13, but I'm only now starting to read lotr. having a blast tho!

anyways, reblog if you feel like it 🙌🏻

#lord of the rings #the hobbit #lotr #hobbit #yeah guys idk i just feel like most people read it really young #but jolkein is really wordy and idk how y'all got through that at 8 yo #my attention span could neverrrrrr #obviously not as wordy as like. les mis. but you know what i mean.#lots and lots of context all the time. love that for his worldbuilding not so much for my hold on the plot #and yes i have watched the movies #i didn't completely miss the cultural zeitgeist #yay first time making a poll! if you vote or read my tags this far you are a gem 🫶🏻#edit: i realize i spelled tolkien wrong. i feel like this proves my point #but also i feel like thats something you spell with your heart and not your mind

Blacked out in front of my tablet and woke up with sketches of my Touchstarved mc + Kuras my beloved. woops

#I found out dr. kuras is 6'6 I said hold on lemme get a stool so I can climb this man #touchstarved #touchstarved game #touchstarved kuras #kuras #sleepyscribble #oc.emma #my mc is meant to be a self insert but also like. I wanted to come up w a design and character arc and everything jkvkvk #so I ended up basing her on my personality/looks but taking her into a direction that would fit the game #she's like. me but 'characterized' and a bit exaggerated for the sake of being a character yk #the way she turned out is that she's basically a friendly happy go lucky mage who laughs at her own misery but hides #a deep layer of self loathing underneath all that bc of her curse #having been cursed all her life she believes she's a monster and the sunny personality is a way for her to 'make up for it'#but at the same time she feels like a farse. like she's only luring ppl in to an inevitable demise #and she thinks she's selfish bc despite knowing the danger she poses she still goes out there and puts herself among ppl #bc she craves human connection. even tho she feels guilty for 'indulging' in it #anyway I love the cursed mc concept in this game <3 it's been really interesting to think abt how that would affect someone #also I kept her physical features looking pretty much like mine #bc I wanted to draw myself in a cute way. teehee #but the clothing I was basically thinking like. early game simple clothing that she didn't rlly pick for herself #and maybe later I can have an updated design w something she would actually pick for herself

One of the most bizarre feelings imo is finding out about a prejudice you didn't know existed

Like. I only recently found out that there's areas IN MY OWN COUNTRY where discrimination against Italian people is a genuine problem

Like

I definitely know WHY I always assumed Racism was a prejudice more dependant on differences in skin colour but holy shit damn yeah okay so there's also ultraviolet racism too huh, we're all just drinking the shitty bitch water then

#I don't know why I'm surprised #And I fear I don't have the education yet to fully grasp this #But in my specific area colorism is the biggest visible aspect of our racist culture #So like #None of this stupid shit makes sense but now it makes EXTRA no sense #Like they ain't even scared cause you look different #But yeah dam n it does drive home that all this crap is politically driven huh #Like as much as fuckers pretending it's science to back up racist rhetoric about why a race is better or worse #It totally does prove that these biases are absolutely arbitrary with no grounds in reality #No heritage is fundamentally DIFFERENT when you get down to it #People is people #Why didn't we talk about this in social studies back in school it's a fascinating angle #It would really have driven it home to a room full of white kids too #We would have been blown away

What do you mean Bones added a bkdk montage even though we only got like two flashbacks in the manga

What do you mean they made sure to drill it into our heads that Izuku is coming back FOR Katsuki

WHAT'S GOING ON? BONES?

#I'M SO SERIOUS RN WHAT'S HAPPENING #THEY REALLY DIDN'T HAVE TO DO ALL THAT BUT NOOOO #they're locked in the bkdk agenda like I'm sorry I ever doubted you #And if they add so much more to the next episode when Bakugou dies?? What then??#I'm losing it.#mha #bnha #mha spoilers #bkdk #bakudeku

I think the two most obvious foils for Ludinus Da'leth across all of Critical Role are Essek and Keyleth, which is both fascinating given how different those two characters are from each other (Essek being a foil in terms of isolation, single-mindedness, harm in the name of ambition, knowledge, and other such wizard themes; Keyleth being a foil in terms of people who have lost something at a young age to the gods and bear resentment for it, political leadership, belief that the world belongs to mortalkind, and longevity) but also it's extremely funny that they both are the partners of Liam's character.

#i could write like a longer piece about it but that kind of sums it up #like. hm. how do i put it.#the thing about essek is like. he like ludinus made some IMMENSELY selfish and harmful choices #but the timeline was SHORT all things considered. ludinus didn't REALLY get going until hundreds of years post-calamity #and he expresses NO regret whereas the vibe with essek in 2x97 is that he's kind of hated himself ever since #and you know. maybe if someone had intervened with ludinus 400 years earlier he'd have done the same. but who would. does he have friends.#the thing about essek haters who aren't just angry shippers is that they all ascribe to ontological evil and yet don't ascribe it to ludinu #meanwhile keyleth is just like...the scope of her pain is somehow both smaller and larger #and yet she's able to see herself as part of a whole and not the center of the world #the fact that power and long life was much more naturally given or earned by her rather than seized is also i think part of it #but keyleth's speech this past episode in particular...it's a direct rebuttal of ludinus's dumb speech in 51 #this can be your world without having to kill anyone if you're willing to work and grow and compromise and grieve #cr spoilers #critical role #ludinus da'leth #essek thelyss #keyleth

trump winning mostly due to channeling the economic concerns of american voters into a better campaign (and probably also a few bomb threats) being blamed by hardline dems on arab/muslim/jewish voter treachery is pretty medieval europe coded i have to say

#managing to disappoint both ‘’sides’’ on palestine in the country literally using israel as a vassal state is pretty impressive #all three are teeny tiny demographics in the us to begin with where most vote for dem usually & only the really conservative ones vote for #republicans (as w/ most american minorities). no matter your stance blaming arab/muslim/jewish (let alone single-issue palestine/israel #voters) is laughable. this is coming from an israeli-american w/ such voters in my immediate family who i strongly disagree with #trump didn't even win in dearborn bc most people voted for him. he won bc the vote was split. most people voted for harris or stein. like #please talk to your trumpie parents instead #there's many more non-arab/muslim/jewish(/latino fwiw) white voters mindlessly backing trump there are arab/muslim/jewish americans combine #the voting habits of like 4% of the us population shouldn't be getting this much outsized sensational attention in that regard

'I've never been in a dungeon before' and 'Who's Ganon?' have literally made some of the BEST reaction panels in Lu I just-

They are very similar conversations- where a Link is pointing out/asking about something that the others have experienced and they haven't. Which is really cool to compare and contrast but they all just freak out about it

Genuinely some of the best conversations in Lu

The lesson here is that apparently the Links will always be freaked out when one of them has missed out on one of the Zelda Fundamentals™

.

#just wait till they find out Wild never wore a green hat #linkeduniverse #linked universe #Lu sky #Lu wars #you know what Sky wars wasn't judging you for your questions why you judging him huh?#it's like the core of Lu really. comradery and comparing- all their different experiences and similar ones. which is really COOL AND FUN #But the way they freak out when one of them hasn't done something- while hilarious- is excessive #'I've never done a dungeon'- are you sure you're one of us?#lol love these dorks #also I'm answering asks! slowly but surely I'll get there. you guys matter so much to me #I hope this post is ok... I didn't edit it too much and it's late #hope I made sense #I love you guys /plat <33 #:)

I've managed to beat up the train blorbos in the pasio subway extreme battles. Here's the ending cutscene that plays out for those who couldn't make it this far:
