chaotic career coaching
i'd signed up to career coaching offered by my uni to help me figure out what i want to do with my life. i was given the task to work through the first section of their application guide which is about analysing your interests, strength, and needs. and of course i left starting on it until the afternoon before when it had already become impossible to actually finish it. i think it's safe to say that doing tasks in a timely manner is not one of my strengths!
this morning the meeting with the coach took place - online due to the coach dealing with a bad cold. and because i hadn't slept enough and struggled to get out of bed in the morning, the meeting started while i was still on the train on my way to uni. and later on the bus and finally perched on the edge of a massive plant pot...
but it was actually helpful so i'm really glad i'd signed up for it!
#physics#studying#university#studyblr#she said she enjoyed meeting me on the go like this lol#and said she liked the backdrop of the plant at the end :)#but i think the main takeaway is that i can give myself the permission to explore broadly#and enjoy the process of exploration instead of feeling like i have to know exactly what i want#and that it's ok to change interests and not know what you want to do#it was a really positive experience!#and also she said i was willing to take risks based on some example of things i was proud of#(guerilla decorating some plants in the department during the holiday season and going to work and teaching dressed as a bat on halloween)#i would not have thought of as risk taking hahaha#tbf the whole thing could be summed up as 'oh you have adhd? don't worry there are jobs out there for you where you can be happy'#but it's nice to hear that from someone even if that's literally their job!#............#also they put christmas hats on the statues and busts at uni!!! and it made laugh

About how Chilchuck would feel about Mei doing lockpick work#Since he mentions that and even recommends her to Laios in case he dies#So I was like. Idk I thought that was really interesting#Bc I canāt imagine that his initial response to her career goals was positive#Given his own experiences as an adventurer being so very Bad#Like his ass aged a decade in two years#So I wanted to draw what I thought that initial reaction wouldāve been#anywayy

#art#fat positivity#body positivity#positivity#birblr#canary#doodle#Sorry I'm a bit all over the place at the moment guys#Had to spend time with my partner's fatphobic family#And I know I'm a thin guy so I am not like directly hurt by the things they believe#But it still was just an awful experience and I'm still kinda feeling that#And it infuriates me that me standing up for what's right is always framed as me being a delicate sensitive anorexic#You should treat fat people nice because they are people and deserve basic decency#I am not being overly sensitive by not wanting to hear your fatphobic crap#You're just not nice people#/rant over#Sorry for my little outburst guys! I am usually an easy going guy#I just get really riled up about this stuff#Fat people are wonderful and it is such a blessing to live in a world with such a huge range of different bodies!

don't get me wrong, i love all the positivity around being aro, like "be proud of being aro!! love who you are!!", but we never talk about how hard it is to reach that spot. so here's to the aros who are still trying to understand themselves, who aren't proud of who they are yet, who are still coming to terms with their new identity.
#i was in serious denial about being aro for a long time like i knew the label and knew it fit but i refused to use it for several months#even after that point it took a while for me to be comfortable with the label or saying it#and this is not a bad thing!! being aro basically requires you to undo all the societal brainwashing you grew up with#and there is so much arophobia that it's hard to find positivity#i got lucky w/ this blog and the people i follow but i know i had a hard time being as proud of myself and my queerness as i am now#this doesn't even really have to be an aro statement like i think it could fit most queer experiences#sorry for the long tags haha#aro#aromantic#arospec#aromanticism#aro pride#aro positivity#aroace#aspec#1k#5k#6k#7k

okay you can have some happy Bruce art now
I realize I haven't done a lot of Clay and Bruce interactions
(ā
my Kofi) | (ā
commission info)
#my art#dreamworks trolls#trolls fanart#trolls bruce#trolls clay#trolls#.......... i know this is supposed to be a happy post but.#i can't stop thinking about bruce taking up cooking to form a more positive association with food....#anyway i don't think clay is a *bad* cook necessarily he's just really methodical and sticks strictly to the recipe#which is where bruce comes in and gets him to take more risks and get creative and loose with it#so then clay gets into a ''kitchen experiments'' kick and he makes viva and bruce try each and every one of them#bruce has regrets.

Remember that time they confirmed Sonic has emotions and experiences burnout ?
I do. I remember
#best advice comes from experience by the way#nobody can be endlessly positive and go through the complicated shit Sonic does and not burn out sometimes by the way#I say this because I AM Sonic.#slash j. I just really try to be positive and life really tries to crush me for it Iām not sonic. Sonic is me#sonic the hedgehog#sth#sonic

I'm a Kai Winn apologist but not because I think she's a good person. She's a compelling tragic character
#Winn is a pawn of the prophets#they purposefully did not talk to her#even quark has an orb experience#but the Kai doesn't get one word#she is holding onto her faith by a string and the wormhole aliens put her in that position for their own gain#the prophets are like lol snip snip bitch#they put her through hell because they needed her to bring the reckoning with the pah wraiths#she's ambitious and calculating yeah but she also lived through the worst of the occupation#plenty of people come out of trauma with negative attributes#it doesn't excuse her behavior but maybe it explains some of it#she really does just want what's best for Bajor#through the worst of it she still believes#the prophets are more ambitious cold and calculating than Kai Winn is#her crisis of faith happens because she finally gets word from her gods that she has been loyal to all this time#and it ends up being the pah wraiths and she still struggles to turn to their side#she was written as a grating character and they write her so well#star trek deep space nine#before ds9 goes off my radar for 3 months#Kai Winn#meta#I could have written that as a cohesive post and not a tag essay...

if you have low/no empathy, no guilt, no remorse, apathy about others, things like that: i appreciate you. talking to you guys is so much easier. i dont have to worry about making you feel guilty on accident. i dont have to tiptoe around your feelings. i worry less about accidentally guilting you, about upsetting you by showing any negative emotions, about making you feel bad for me by mentioning any of my trauma.
of course i wont just be rude and inconsiderate, but i feel more at ease, you know? like its easier to just chill with you; i feel like i dont have to play the social juggling act with your feelings nearly as much. like being kind is good enough. i hope this makes sense hakdhskdks
and ofc this is a broad generalization, so this wont apply to everyone - and if you DO still need validation that's cool too! i just want you to know that there's someone out there who appreciates this about you. there are upsides to things like this, and there will always be someone out there who likes you MORE for it. have a nice day :3
#bark#brain#positivity#autism#actually autistic#low empathy#no empathy#low/no empathy#cluster b pds#pd safe#cluster b#cluster b safe#npd safe#aspd safe#aspd positivity#npd positivity#apathy#sorry im really tired im sure there are more people out there who experience this#please let me know if im forgetting something and i'll add it to the tags!

i just wanna say shoutout to my guys who didnt know they were guys at first, who didnt "always know"
my transmascs who were girls before they were men
my transmascs who wore push up bras and pretty skirts and dresses and pink
youre still trans, even if you werent always
#transmasc#trans man#ftm#this is about my specific experiences please dont like @ me about how transmascs can still do these things#im well aware and i have positivity posts for that! this is just about how as a young girl when puberty hit i overperformed gender#in order to fit in even though it didnt really feel right though shoutout to guys for whom it did feel right#i didnt develop proper gender dysphoria until i had the words to describe being trans

Hey, Iām new to Tumblr, but Iāve seen your characters around the internet and I love them so much!! Everyone has so much love for Machete and Vasco and your art is so cool to see! Do you have any tips for an aspiring artist and creative writer?
Hi! Welcome to tumblr! I'm glad to hear you like my dogs :]
I'm not really a writer, and I also completely lose my confidence when I'm trying to explain my art processes. So this is probably an obvious, unhelpful platitude at best, but one thing I've realized is that you should allow yourself to be self-indulgent. If you're the primary target audience of your own work, it generates passion and keeps you inspired and motivated. I like to believe that people who see your creations are more likely to respond to them positively if they can sense that you're putting your heart and soul to them.
#if you have any special interests that you're really knowledgeable about you can try including them in your art/writing somehow#even if it seems kind of an odd match they may merge into an interesting and potentially unique combination#like this Vaschete era I'm going through is a product of lifelong interest in animals history art and religion#just jamming all of my favorite topics and themes in there#be forgiving to yourself when things fon't work out as smoothly as you had hoped#and try to cultivate a positive relationship with the creative process and end results#meaning if you have a habit of putting yourself down and saying your art/writing sucks#try not to do that#it can lead you to resent the whole hobby and stifle your potential#I dunno this probably comes across so vague and nebulous#answered#sagepuca#tldr: be excited about whatever you create#make art/stories that you yourself would look at and think 'this is the coolest thing it's like it was tailored just for me'#also like I'm just some guy you don't have to take my advice these are just some things that have helped me personally#your experience and approach might be different

So much experimenting to be done, where to even start (Patreon)
#Doodles#Handplates#UT#Fellplates#Gaster#Papyrus#Sans#Mostly silliness :) Mostly :)#It's still fun to draw these two Gasters next to each other hehe āŖ Even interacting!#They're more similar than I think either of them would admit haha - ''No clearly we have very different ideals'' sure but you're both Gaster#I like the idea of classic being So Annoyed at any iteration of himself thinking positively towards humans haha#I mean it would probably hurt - that's a big piece of his trauma! - but on the surface it's just Ugh I can't believe this -.Ć³#I feel like they'd have a lot more common ground when it comes to their experiments tho - not a perfect Venn Diagram but enough!#Maybe even just different enough to offer a new perspective - enough to give them new ideas! Uh oh that's never a good thing lol#I do love Fell!Gaster just so pleased to be having a conversation haha so smiley - classic still not smiling but interested!#Cute face <3#It was after making the Toriel comic that the thought Really occurred to me - like obviously I saw so I knew they were still in the gowns#But it took a bit for that to strike me as odd since I mean that's just what they wear! That's normal! For Handplates anyway#He talks a lot about isolating whatever it is in Monsters that Make Them Like That - what does that entail#Gaster no seriously what are you doing to them don't just smile actually reply#And as much as I like the boys being a bit more Fell-ish I've always been of the opinion that no matter what they're brothers!#They love each other <3 And in Fellplates they'd have to rely on each other even more than regular Underfell#If anything would cause some codependency it's the Handplates setup - no matter what version you throw at it!#They're still both delicate little things - they need each other to survive ā„ If Gaster is sometimes kind to them well...#Similar to Mercyplates but Not Quite hmmmm#At least sometimes doing cute and harmless things tho! Studies how they react to flowers and teaches them to make chains hehe āŖ#There's also that Underfell thing of Sans calling UF!Papyrus ''Boss'' rather than ''Bro'' yeah? Doodling ideas around that haha#An opportunity to teach! Sans only came away with the basics tho it probably annoys Gaster lol#The idea of them doing cute harmless little things and /that/ being what gets under his skin hehehehe#And ending with a Babybones! :D Surely he'd have no problem being attached since they're meant to be good...? Surely

This 4th of July Iām stealing the patriotism euphoria thatās usually associated with assholes idolizing the worst attributes of this country because fuck āem I live here too and remembering the things this country actually got Right is an important exercise when trying to rally anyone to want to defend it in November SO putting my money where my mouth is Iāll start easy and say I really like National Parks!! Itās rad how many of them there are and how theyāre actual set up to preserve some of the most beautiful wild areas in our country while still letting people visit to enjoy and experience nature!! (Less important but I love how they put national parks on the quarters I think thatās real fun)
Feel free to add on if something speaks to ya!
#The hypothesis Iām testing here is that remembering there are good things now and then can combat apathy a little bit#and this is the one day of the year where everyone has a free pass to say nice things about the US so!#some other fun freebies:#public libraries are really cool!! Love visiting them and I should do that way more#bit of a funnier one but I think our interstate highways are really nice#like Iād love trains too but itās really cool how you can travel the whole country relatively easily like itās all pretty connected#I love how women have equal rights! Weāre backsliding a little right now which is why itās so important to latch onto this now!#I love how we donāt have a draft- this one might point to some other issues in the country#but at least from a surface level itās great that military service isnāt mandatory#If you arenāt in the US and still want to play go for it!#today Iām encouraging everyone to pick at least one little positive thing they like#and then down the line if youāre wondering why voting matters at all#maybe remember that little thing yāknow#Do it for the national parks and the libraries and gay marriage and stuff#humming-rambles#anyways thatās my social experiment for the day hope yāall get to see some fun fireworks later!

Can you talk about trans!Curly a little bit more? I'm curios if you have any headcanons and the like
-š
It's just such a thing in my mind because it adds a truthful sadness and differing aspect to mouthwashing.
If Curly was trans it adds the horror of the horribly selfish thought he could have easily been in Anya's situation. It could've been him but it wasn't and he so conflicted on the pit it put in his stomach that brings and the shameful relief it wasn't. In this scenario he is friends with Jimmy for a long time still. Jimmy likely knew him pretransition. Maybe he gave Curly weird looks then, maybe they never stopped after, maybe they seemed meaner. They are guys now, bros, both of them are. He doesn't really have to worry what those looks mean anymore, Jimmy just has that face with him sometimes. It's recontextualizing a lot of things for him that he was in denial about or too ashamed to admit. How naive he was being and how he let that get another person hurt.
Specifically with Anya, it's he knows the dread and fear she's feeling. He can understand it because he had to live with it for a good portion of his life, he knows it cause he still does, just in a slightly different way. It makes him think of all the times he's been alone with Jimmy, all the times he's been way more drunk off his ass and not remember the night, Jimmy was always with him the next day. Makes him think of the comments he would laugh off both because that's what guys do but because that part of being a girl says to laugh so Jimmy doesn't do something. It's the selfish realization that he was never safe and he's uncertain now too. Mad at himself for forgeting that feeling, espcially since for a long time he would've been considered the only woman on a crew (with all that implies) for a long time.
He should've taken those blinders off, step back into that position for just a moment and it's so much more painful that Anya likely came to him because he should've gotten it. Those thoughts don't leave his mind after the crash when he's in an even more vulnerable position than she was...
#this is less headcanons and more my thoughts of the intersectional horror this brings to mouthwashing which is also a thing it#already has but more directly in the mix vs just the class gender and positional struggle. like the idea he waited to confront Jimmy becaus#he could conceptualize the crime better because of experience with womanhood and also how it would've destroyed him in terms of being trans#like its weird to word as a comparison but thats kinda how empathy works as in an understanding and ability to project through aspects#like you found out your friend who has always had weird feelings about and relating to you is a rapist and got one of your other friend#pregnant and is now being openly hostile and aggressive towards you. You have only a few days to really think on all of this all the years#with him and how many oppurtunites he had that you blame yourself for giving him both in life and to do to you. You are starting to#realize that he may have done what he did to Anya because it was no longer viable with him or because of weird transphobia/homophobia#from Jimmy and god its so much and he should've know better and what did Jimmy do then - c r a s h#he is at such a small amount of mercy to Jimmy now and he can't protect Anya and it's terrifying because i know and you know that Jimmy is#giving him those weird looks again...#like it adds another layer of horror to things and while I don't think Jimmy would do anything to Curly it's heavily implied he targeted he#because of relatively more important position and getting Curly to have doubts about him as a power play and Curly knows Jimmy well enough#that him immediately exerting his authority and power would set him off after already having been mad about it and even when doing#damage control it still set him off. like its the horror of accidenlty siding with your oppresser and hurting other like you only to then b#stabbed in the back again by the person who took advantage of your nature like its so complext but my actual trans curly headcanons#are just a little bit happier like i imagine he was the first on the boys soccer team and a star player. maybe he and jimmy even picked ou#his first offical āboyā clothes and Jimmy picked most so he looked like the grungiest white boy but she was a boy so it didn't matter cause#it was with his friend who accepted him and I bet on the bed he looks back at all those moments and notices the little details that his#friend wasnt actually so happy but he can't be certain when he started looking so bitter or hes just imagining out of paranoia cause he jus#cant know and even if he could he wouldn't want to ask like god thinking about Anya and probably being a little glad if not heartbroken#that she did get out of it in the end like trans curly and anya destroy me even more its so upsetting like he didn't realize how much he go#you girl and waited to act like it was cowardice but then would she not realize what hes realizing? should that be a grace or more of a#condemnation in her mind like what are her thoughts? espically during the scene Jimmy hits Curly like she had to hear and what did she thin#they are tormented in a similar hells with the same demon and its fascinating#mouthwashing#mouthwashing game#anya mouthwashing#curly mouthwashing#jimmy mouthwashing

Being an extreme radfem/terf blog sounds miserable
#I think there are a lot of issues that should be discussed and having a blog focusing on that is very valid and good#but to constantly talk about how horrible being a woman is 24/7#like huh maybe the reason some people donāt want to be women is because they are told how horrible of an experience it is#and that we are doomed to a painful existence and being socially tortured by men#which ok is not completely untrue there is a lot of womenās rights issues everywhere#but doesnāt it get too draining at some point?#the most miserable Iāve been about existing was taking in nothing but that#and donāt get me started on their weirdness about trans stuff#at least thereās like one or two occasional posts about something positive about women#like an important figure and such#but itās really just a depression hole#or at least it feels like it#I note extreme since radical feminism could be more than just getting mad about trans people and kink#and also I donāt want to incur their wrath lol
