“but I can’t draw that” “I’m bad at drawing” okay then. draw it bad. thats literally what you’re supposed to do. you will draw it bad a million bajillion times over before you draw it good. this is life
considering- modern day au étoiles with poliosis. he decides just bleach his whole head white to match the patch(es), but can’t really do that for his eyelashes or eyebrows, maybe also beard, so they’re mismatched and show the extent of his condition. Also considering vitiligo….
is it just me or is This Is Me Trying a.. Glinda Pines for Elphie Song
“i was so ahead of the curve/the curve became a sphere” like little miss popular?? definitely a trendsetter back in her day… sphere… bubble okay i’m reaching for that one
but like. her popularity is eventually what comes to bite her when she becomes Glinda the Good and Elphie has to leave… and her popularity as the Good Witch is what “traps” her into pretending she’s glad Elphie is dead
“you’re a flashback/on a film reel/on the one screen/in my town” i mean she literally lives in the Emerald City like it’s right there!!! idk maybe this is just me throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks but adds it to the gelphie playlist
Something something the irony of the KND fighting for kids’ rights to have peaceful childhoods while the organisation itself relies on kids giving up their childhood and being forced to mature early
I think internet culture has not only warped peoples’ ideas of what appropriate boundaries are but led to a mass sense of entitlement in general
You can’t just expect people to do whatever you want just because you frame it as a “boundary”
And conversely, don’t let people just walk all over you. Others’ boundaries are not supreme over yours, and one’s right to swing their fist ends at the tip of another’s nose
Lately I’ve been thinking about kindness and how hard it is sometimes.
It’s hard to remember the person on the other side of the screen is a human being, yes, because we are separated by the internet. But it’s hard in real life too. It’s hard to look into the eyes of someone who has hurt me and say, “I forgive you.”
But it helps. Even if it doesn’t help them. Forgive and forget is not always the best way but sometimes it is. Sometimes you can let anger go, even if it’s hard.
Kindness is hard but it’s healthy. Healthy for YOU, mind and body.
Maybe there is something a bit ugly inside of me. Maybe there is something jealous and bitter and lonely in me. It’s kind of lovable, though, now that I’m looking at it. Maybe I could love it too
friend wanted to see my tumblr, and when i told him i can’t show it to him bc it’s basically my personal diary he went “oh so I can’t see it but a bunch of strangers on tumblr can??” he literally does not get me. no one will get me like the people in my phone get me
Having some feelings this evening about Frodo’s reaction to people around him being corrupted by desire for the One Ring. How generally devoid it is of any blame placed on that person, and how he instead treats it as a tragedy to spare others from by distancing himself.
It’s a big deal in the latter books that Frodo wants to show Sméagol kindness if possible because things have progressed so far that Frodo can recognize his own experience in him. But what’s really making me stare at a wall right now are Frodo’s early days reactions even before the personal identification is as strong.
Basically, I can’t stop thinking about how deeply Frodo’s reaction to that last encounter with Boromir is informed by the fact that the first person to ever try and take the ring from Frodo was actually Bilbo. The fact that the first person Frodo ever saw corrupted to that point, even for a moment, was the kind, clever, caring uncle who adopted and taught him, and who Frodo thinks the world of.
Just thinking about the personal relationship Frodo had with the very first person he saw the Ring affect and how fundamentally that set the tone for his understanding of it for the entirety of the journey.
I’ve thought about this commission every day since the Elucien week prompts were announced, and I’m so excited to finally get to share it 🫶🏻 thank you to Vamorii, who as always, took my concept and created something even more lovely than I ever envisioned 💗
I find myself agreeing with this woman’s thoughts on Alicent’s character this season. Which is a shame in many ways…
(Tagging those who might be interested in what this video has to say, I apologize if any of y’all have been trying to get this off your mind only for me to tag you here lol)
We all know the semi-canonical ‘all the Robins know to hide/duck inside of Batman’s cape, even as adults’ thing.
We also know that Danny ‘is LITERALLY a ghost’ Fenton sucks at remembering his own intangibility while ALSO forgetting to look ahead of him.
All I’m saying is, Danny Fenton (or Phantom, if you’d really like) would absolutely SLAM into Batman on accident while running on roof tops and Bruce ‘Brooding Instinct’ Wayne doesn’t even think twice about letting the kid hide and scanning around for danger before there’s a record scratch of ‘wait who tf is this?’ kicks in.
Thinking about hypersexual Simon Riley and aromantic reader. He doesn’t have time to date with his job, or the patience to find new hookups all the time. Dating apps are the bane of his existence. If he’s honest with himself, despite his wants, he doesn’t enjoy unfamiliarity. He doesn’t like having to explain himself over and over to people who often don’t understand (or care).
Instead he finds you, a pretty little thing that moves into the flat next door. You don’t demand commitment, or that he opens up more than he likes. You’re easy, kind, soft under his hands. You offer companionship when he needs, make conversation without expecting more than he’s able to give right now.
You’re in much the same position. Despite how men often say they want to hookup without any strings beyond maybe a casual friendship (if that), as soon as you’re the one to set that boundary they start whining. Can’t handle the idea that you don’t want them in every way possible. Can’t stand losing out on that control over the women they’re with. In your experience, at least.
You dread the day he inevitably finds someone. He’ll leave you behind, of course, and it’s not that you’d hold it against him. Simon deserves love like no one you’ve ever met. That impending day has become a little more real since he’s been talking about this “Johnny” from his work, though.
Obviously partially inspired by Service Dog Johnny by @void-my-warranty and a little bit by Harmless Fun from @rememberwren (if you haven’t read their stuff please please please do, they’re both incredible)
