be critical of yourself in a way that lifts you up, which means: catch yourself when you're thinking mean things about yourself / correct yourself when you're imagining what negative opinions others might have about you / encourage yourself to do better next time in a gentler and more optimistic way / never strive for more without acknowledging how far you have already come. it's okay to be nice to yourself.
#why does nobody ever talk about how very difficult it actually is to genuinely be nice to yourself?#we are so often taught to be humble and to strive to do better#that it blurs the lines between being critical of ourselves and discrediting our efforts#we all want to be considered kind and pleasant people#but completely tend to remove ourselves from that equation#be nice to you! consistently! always!#mental health

got hit by the sudden realization that i never posted my piece for the moments between zine even though we got our copies in, what, september? looking at it now there's things i'd do differently but that's what makes zine pieces such a good learning experience ^^
#proudest of the foliage still that was fun#nefertari vivi#tony tony chopper#monkey d luffy#one piece#i think if i did it now id do more proper shading to guide the eye better the forefront stands out but the rest of the background#kind of all blurs together because i didn't do enough for value and line variety that way...BUT overall enjoy it stilla nd it was so fun

i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as a binary i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as a sliding scale of "less" to "more" i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as the only two options i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as significantly different things i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as all encompassing i hate the concept of platonic and romantic as the two halves of a shallow concept of love that doesn't actually encompass anything at all i think we need to overhaul every popular conception about "types" of love so we can talk about things that are real and true for once
#in conclusion. alloromantics stfu up about love challenge#hate using the term platonic so much actually. cause even if it has a definition that is what it Should mean#you know that people don't actually think about it that way.#you say 'platonic' and you might Mean an all-encompassing love. but how it's interpreted is shorthand for 'just friends'#so like. the word platonic isn't Really for me is it :|#platonic gets presented like a consolation prize for aro people no matter where you turn#but fundamentally rn it comes from a concept of platonic and romantic as the two kinds of love#where platonic is for family and friends and nothing More.#and romantic is for the relationships that overhaul all else#so 'aros can still feel platonic love!' ok. what if it's not platonic as you know it though.#'oh then it's romantic!' k but it's not romantic either. will your framework explode if i say that#'aros can still feel platonic love!' why do you say that like it's a second-best option and expect me to identify with it...#again. platonic might Actually mean smth i experience. but it won't be Heard that way. do you get what i'm saying#i don't experience 'platonic blurring into romantic' cause i will never feel romantic love actually. those lines are still blurring though#ummmmm in conclusion. killing and biting#aromantic#aromanticism#aroace#arospec#talking

here friend, I'll help you: when you realize the characterization isn't to your liking, go ahead and do me a favor -- scroll up to the top right of your screen and hit that big red X button. there, problem solved.
also don't bookmark it. I'm so freaking tired of having this conversation.
#i'm done being nice about shitty bookmarks#so i will not be blurring their name out#i went through their profile and it's clearly bookmarks meant for other people to see not just personal notes#ao3#archive of our own#this is the kinda shit that makes people stop writing#like you all understand that right?#not me because i love writing#but this is the kind of shit that demoralizes new writers#myfic#theresurrectionist#if me calling it out on here gets at least one person to chill with this kinda stuff#then i will gladly do it#rant

I think Ian would love when Mickey takes long showers.
The rest of the Gallaghers try to complain, and Ian would shut that shit down immediately. Mickey rarely does something so self-indulgent that isn't, y'know, a violent impulse. This is something that no one else gets to see, this isn't Mickey putting on a toughness show, this isn't anything but Mickey taking care of Mickey and Ian loves that for him. Wants him to have that for as long as he can.
Because here's the thing -- Ian remembers the filthy dirty boy he used to fuck in the Kash and Grab.
While Ian never judged Mickey for it (hell, who hasn't experienced a water shut off or heater shortage in Southside?) he knew that Mickey experienced it worst than most. Half the neighborhood called Mickey smelly for fuck's sake, it was well known that Mickey was not clean.
I also imagine Mickey had to fake-it-til-you-make-it in feeling okay with being that dirty. He stopped taking frequent showers or bothering with any hygiene products because he knew the Milkoviches only had so much hot water (or water in general). Terry got first dibs because if he didn't get what he wanted then his piss-poor mood would dictate how everyone's day's went.
Then, Mickey gave next priority to Mandy. Mandy's a girl, which when he was younger didn't really mean anything to him, until she came home wildly upset about being dirty, about how all the girls wouldn't stop pointing out how awful she smelled, how she got her period and the bloodstains were still in her clothes and she didn't have enough water to clean them out but she didn't have any more clean clothes, and fuck, Mickey realized girls were fucking mean when it came to shit like that, and Mickey never wanted her to deal with that ever again. After that, Mickey made sure Mandy had enough water to stay clean, to be orderly, because Mandy cared and Mandy deserved to feel good about herself.
If his brothers were home, they'd get it next, because they somehow always smelled worse than Mickey did. However, that was rarely a problem, and a lot of the time after Terry and Mandy they didn't really have much left in the tank anyway.
So Mickey learned to not care. Not care about being gross and disgusting and feeling itchy at times. To smell clothes and while it was sharp to his nose it was whatever. So something gave him a rash once, he can fucking live. Everyone seems to look at him like he's even more dangerous when he's filthy, so it comes with its own perks, right? Who cares if some nights he couldn't really sleep. He's a kid, and who fucking cares, he's probably not living that long anyway.
But as Mickey starts having more people care about him (and care more about himself in turn) things change in his head. Even when he comes back in season 7, he is nowhere near as covered in dirt as he was when he was young. And while some of this can be chalked up to not being a kid anymore, that's certainly not most of it. The self-loathing he had no longer manifests so outwardly, he's no longer living in a burn out and die young mindset, and he's got people who he gives a shit what they think about him. He wants to try to like himself the way other people (Ian) likes him. Which means being fucking clean.
So he starts to take long showers. And he realizes that, yeah, he likes the feel of having hot water on him, melting the day away. Likes having the assurance that he can have this without being covered in blood and needing to medically clean out the wound (if he'd even do it then). He likes... taking showers. Being clean. Having clean clothes. And Ian, of course, notices.
So, when Ian can hear Mickey taking a shower, and taking his fucking time and actually taking care of himself, Ian freaking loves it. Doesn't let anyone bother Mickey about the water, doesn't let anyone tell him what soaps to use or not use. It's all for his disposal.
And when Mickey's done, Ian will open the door and join Mickey in with the steamy bathroom. Before Mickey can utter a single word about it (most days he'll try to crack something self-deprecating, not quite broaching sorry but as close as he usually gets; on particularly vulnerable days he will try to genuinely apologize) Ian kisses him. Tells him he smells good. Tells him he looks good. Ian's a big fan of positive reinforcement. He's also a big fan of the smile on Mickey's face when he's feeling good about himself.
Ian of course wishes he could get Mickey to feel good about himself every day, but, it's a work in progress just like everything else. Mickey's got to unlearn a childhood built on the belief that he was barely worth garbage. That takes time. Ian gets it.
An easy place to start, though? Enjoying when his man takes his long hot showers.
#shameless headcanon#shameless (us)#gallavich#mickey milkovich#ian gallagher#this headcanon kind of blurred perspective but oh well#the amount of neglect that all of them went through jesus#period#mandy milkovich#the milkoviches

How I see the world since I watched Supernatural:
#my optician probably made a mistake when he made my glasses#or maybe those two idiots in love make me insane enough to do this kind of photo montage#insane show for insane people#and since I watched spn they blur my vision#they occupy all my thoughts#they have taken over my life#it has been more than a year#when I say destiel changed me#I'm not kidding#I chose to do this with glasses#because it's easier#but I guess it could also work with headphones#because they interfere with them too#because I also rediscovered all my playlists through them#destiel#deancas#dean winchester#castiel#destiel glasses#my personal experience with destiel

What’s your novel about?
the flippant/short answer that i tend to give is "what if blur were girls in nyc instead of boys in london" which i guess is only illuminating if you're familiar with blur's Whole Deal...but in slightly more words it's about childhood best friends who start a band together in the late 1980s/become immensely famous in the 1990s and the interpersonal dynamics of the group and their eventual emotional betrayal/falling out...pretty typical i fear...but also every band does that arc anyway so. yeah.
#the exact texture of that emotional betrayal is once again easier to guess at if you know the blur thing#but at this point the characters are fairly removed from blur in a lot of ways least of all their gender lol#they are my girls and i love them dearly...not sure if i can say the same for blur...it's a different kind of love...#Anonymous#u90sbn#i am fucking cringe but i am free etc etc

Books of 2024: What I'd Like To Read By The End Of The Year.
I was feeling ~Whelmed~ over the weekend about all the things I still want to read, and I thought to myself, "Gee Why Is That??", so I pulled everything off my shelf and stacked it up basically in the order I'd like to read it and then went "....ah I see, carry on."
Now this stack WOULD be fine, except everything from ALWAYS COMING HOME down through HOUSE OF LEAVES is stuff I'd like to read adjacent to writing projects, namely: 1. IN BETWEEN (which I'm working on now but need to wrap up by the end of August) and then 2. NANO (which, y'know. Starts on November 1). So the sixteen (16) books between ACH and HOL are for the next three (3) months, and then I'll come back for the side-leaners during/after NaNo, I think.
(Not pictured in this stack is STARLING HOUSE, which I don't have in hand yet but will also be a NaNo Prep book!)
Basically my plan is to read down through this stack in this order and see how long it takes me! I finally got set up with my coworking space today, so hopefully I'll be writing late a couple nights a week starting. tomorrow. Which. will eat into reading time pretty significantly, hopefully.
But there's so much cool stuff I want to read! And write! And knit!! You see why I'm having A Time, huh.
#books#books of 2024#book stack#book photo#book photography#my photography#also tagging as:#in btw#nano2024#fortunately the haunted bookstore and ambergris kind of blur/fuzz my two writing projects#that's why they're in the middle--transitional#ACH through UNEXPECTED PLACES are the driscoll ones on deck by the end of the month#everything under ambergris is flagged as nano prep#can you tell i'm going to try to write a haunted house book lmao#SELF-PORTRAIT WITH NOTHING and SPIDER AND HER DEMONS are also driscoll adjacent#but i think i'm gonna have to pause those til after nano#(which is fine because it'll be nice to have some driscoll to get back into circa december/january to get back into the vibes)#and then HOW TO BE EATEN and DAWN are leftovers from my 24 in 2024 list that aren't accounted for in the rest of this stack or already read#anyway fuck the dayjob i could do all the things i wanted if i didn't burn 50+ hours a week on capitalism adjacent bullshit#(i work 40hrs and ONLY 40hrs dont worry but. the admining around the job is bullshit and we count that in our time)#(commute plus prep plus packing plus food plus outfits....ugh)#ANYWAY SIXTEEN BOOKS BETWEEN NOW AND NANO ISN'T TOO BAD RIGHT#I'M GONNA GO SHOWER AND READ ACH BYEEE

#dontlistento me#wir#wreck it ralph#turbo wir#king candy#it's like. the line between himself and disguise is so blurred yet i have such a hard time as seeing them as the same character#it's like how you aren't the same person you were 20 yrs ago. that's someone completely different but still you#but somehow even Harder to wrap my head around#it doesnt help that bro doesnt even seem to. Care? about how he looks or Who He Is. as long as he's the best it doesn't matter who he is.#he doesnt need his original name or legacy attached. as long as it's Him it's fine.#the way he prefers the candybug form bc it's scary and has powers... knows his turbo design is ugly af in 3D... he has issues i think.#of all kinds.#ive been so low-key on here abt him but little do you all know. I'm Deranged. about this freak#speaking of i need to see more of TURBO being SILLY.#king candy is SO silly and weird and goofy. im sure a lot of that is this persona but he is inherently goofy i know this.#pre-roadblasters turbo is also silly and i need to see more of him being silly.#i think i have a hard time w seeing them as the same is bc fan content depicts turbo so differently#yes he is gross and sucks but there was some whimsy there. he was still a goof he just went nuclear#ok im done.............
