You know when you realize your childhood was actually worse than you thought?

#my mom's catholic but my dad is agnostic and manipulated me and my sister into loving science and now we are both unable to believe in any #he didnt promote imagination at all #he taught me enough to be bored through the entirety of kindergarten and first grade while i was in preschool #no one bothered to find a solution for the fact that i was not sleeping ever #whenever i cried my dad would say it was fake #roald dahl books. holy shit the roald dahl books.#no one found it concerning that i was writing stories about children living alone on the streets #according to a poem i wrote people were using physical violence against me in first grade #they were also bullying me for liking mickey mouse #i played a game called pregnant triangles #i was hyperfixated on graveyards #i was also hyperfixated on science and the country of scotland #when i was 2 my grandparents gave me an adult level book of greek myths #i could read it when i was 3 #i hyperfixated on it and read the entire book every day #like. my childhood was. weird #oh also i have lived in 7 houses #oh yeah!! and i had a condition that hugely fucked up my digestive system #my dad kept telling me to not hide it #but he would yell at me because of it #and i was so embarrased #once i had an allergic reaction and he decided that the reason i was washing myself off in the shower was because of the digestive thing #so he yelled at me #im allergic to the literal sun and my parents always send me to outdoor summer camps

more dragon

#my sketches #one piece #monkey d luffy #monkey d dragon #monkey d garp #real talk and jokes aside i think dragons childhood with garp wasn’t all that bad #since he actually was a marine at some point right so he must have at the very least respected garp #garps way of raising a kid that actually wanted to be a marine must have been somewhat different too #all in all i think leaving luffy to garp wouldn’t sound like such a weird thought to dragon ??#i get why hed go there i mean #garp tho……………..#what was that man even thinking………………….

I was watching a comp video of Barbie Nutcracker and about choked when I saw this dude

MACHETTE?!??!?!?!

Love your lil guys 💚

That sure is a creature.

#Barbie movies weren't really a part of my childhood but on a factual level I know I must've watched at least a couple when I was very young #and I'm not kidding the only thing I remember from any of them is the mouse king from the nutcracker #mostly because I recall being annoyed and weirded out by how oddly lumpy his face was #it got seared into my brain #seeing any footage of them feels like unlocking a memory from past life #or a fever dream #answered #the-poppy-outie-effect

Call this the "I'm hyper-alert for any fracture in my mental health because a good portion of my extended family is either senile or insane"

#--might delete this in the morning actually #just very high and thinking about my family rn #+ I don't know if this experience is common but I feel kinda weird having it online #yeagh I was intimately aware as a kid that i never really got to meet anyone in my family besides my aunt + grandma b/c they're all like.#dangerous #means i spent most of my childhood naturally assuming that i'd be unhinged by this point #which- in retrospect as an adult- i'd guess that *most* of my family is fine. and that most of the ones i heard about were unique cases #but i still got to like. age 20 before thinking to question that and realize that i'd probably be completely fine #so it was weird to be like. ohhhh i probably won't actually be insane or dead by age 24 so. i should probably plan for the future a little #also to have no frame of reference for how normal your mental state is #neway. i will probably delete this soon #if this is relatable to anyone 🤝

this is why i never read voltron fanfic 💀

#i decided to finally dip my toes back in the water and pulled up ao3. opened up what I thought would be a #nice pre-canon shiro & keith fic. only to find out partway through that shiro and keith start dating in the sequel.#this is not to drag up old shipping drama i normally just filter this ship out but in this fic it’s like #keith is twelve years old and shiro is the one trustworthy adult in his life and it’s cute. and then i hit ‘next work’ and they were DATING #like we all agree that’s weird right 😭😭😭😭😭#the worst part is that the fic is good. a little hamfisted but earnest in its portrayal of early childhood trauma.#so why would you make them start dating????! I’ve been pacing my apartment for the last thirty minutes

one orrrr

two?

#not a perfect return to posting art #but fuck if my pettiness isn't a great driving force #lol about what snack??#some ole bullshit i saw on the whassit... insta or twitter #one of those two where “FaNs” go to pretend they got no fucking manners #oOoOh you're a this that whatever artist because look you draw like this one OoOoh #fuck outa here #literally I'm gonna post going through my whole goddamn style rolodex #also?#personal art style is not as big a deal as some of these new/young artists think it is #like maybe in commercial or children's book illustration #since they look for a specific vibe #and you're doing yourself an artistic disservice by focusing so much on “creating a personal style”#and this weird fucking self-imposed boundary of like appreciating how an artist renders this or that aspect of their drawing #because they think the plagiarism police are gonna SWAT them #like... it's pretty and you like it bcoz it speaks to you so #fucking just #try it out #try out that type of line weight #try out that color palette #try out that way of lighting a person or a scene #try it #listen everyone is out here being an aesthetic frankenstein's monster #the minute you try out xyz in your art it becomes “your style” because how you interpret it replicate it will be #influenced (altered you could say) by how you draw #unless your ass getting paid to draw on model or your art lead's style or you wanna get on a show/game so you're cobbling a quick portfolio #but that's not this #also lol next mutation still got fans #my childhood nostalgia says hello #tw eyestrain

What

"it never once occurred to him what my real strategy was: letting him win. Because winning made him feel special. And good God, did he want to feel special"

Calls Ford a tool but sings praise of tools WOW

#billford #bill cipher #standford pines #thisisnotawebsitedotcom #even his lies are lies #gravity falls #gf #im not okay #HELLO???#what if i kms #triangle man has weird ways of showing he cares #if you can call it that #i like how Bill mentions half of Ford's mind being 18 #is that like some stunted growth thing because of his childhood???#maybe it's cause if i remember correctly he couldn't really depend on his parents for praise and emotional support #and at the time he depended on Bill for something Ford's parents didn't provide #and because he had like no friends #the book of bill #i can also see Ford thinking that all he's worth is his genius and nothing else about him was in any way special #cus if he might've thought that if he wasn't smart he would just be some random average guy with freaky hands #my heart kinda hurts now

You know those “Lloyd goes back to his og age” fics? Where Lloyd, using some sort of plot logic, is ‘reverted’ back to the age he was before he got aged up? Which was 10??

I find it hilarious to think that all the ninja and co would think this is a great thing, an opportunity for Lloyd to finally grow up normally, except depending on the time line, Lloyd isn’t ten anymore.

My guys like 16 mentally (in this post, let’s say he’s 16. But you could also say he’s 14 if you’re using the early seasons, 16-18 for the new design seasons, or 20+ for Dragons rising. Either way it’s hilarious).

Please i would hate it if i was 16 and suddenly turned 10 again. Like no i don’t wanna go back to this time i was horrible please. No Kai i don’t wear skull shirts anymore. No Jay i don’t need a booster seat in the mechs and cars we use- ZANE WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN’T USE THEM ANYMORE???

And then no one’s helping him go back to normal because they all forgot that he still aged mentally at a normal pace.

“GUYS PLEASE IM NOT 10 OH GOD. I DONT WANNA GO BAAAAACK”

Lost princess of a shadow broken kingdom.

#kingdom hearts #kh #kh kairi #kingdom hearts kairi #kairi kingdom hearts #kairi kh #blue boi draws #was messing around with a lineless style #I love her so so much #gah Kairi my girl Kairi she needs therapy #Princess of a place which is not home. forever cursed to feel a little out of place.#it must have taken a long time to adjust to the islands. I like to think her family is very supportive.#even besides that she was a weird kid. a good kid! but a weird kid. I think that’s part of the reason she ended up with Sora & Riku #they were all just a little bit weird. in different and similar ways (neurodivergence).#she’s well liked but unignorably different. she struggles with the culture and expectations of the island in ways others didn’t.#the people around her understood why and were sympathetic (I hope) but that doesn’t stop it from making her feel out of place.#also the long turn ramifications of childhood trauma is always… fun. it’s gonna take her a loooooonnng time to figure that shit out #I love her

Ford + oral fixation

#gay art #gravity falls #stanford pines #fiddleford mcgucket #first time drawing fiddleford #world's most autistic man #this also is part of my complicated web of headcanons that I have for Ford specifically #Ford always had an oral fixation #but filbrick forced it out of him at an early age because it was weird #so from childhood till after college ford suppressed the desire #but after he moved to gravity falls #the isolation meant he slowly stopped watching himself constantly #so he slowly acted more naturally #doing stuff like chewing pens to death and talking to himself

Always always always thinking about childhood friends au

#golden kamuy #vasio #ogata hyakunosuke #vasily pavlichenko #my art #doodles #sketchy #comic!!#anyways the childhood friends au is that the weird russian boy wont stop chattering at ogata who doesnt understand a word vasily is saying #but hes nice company probably. ogata never had a friend before. and vasily likes guns too so theyll hunt ducks together #ends up with ogata learning a few words of russian before canon but vasily disappears after a few months or maybe a year of being in ibaraki #and ogata never sees him again. until.........

Woah Keefe is so emotionally manipulative. Not like he got raised in a horrible household where being emotionally abused was the norm. Not like half of his ‘insulting’ things were just bad attempts to make people laugh because in his mind that’s one of the only things he’s good at. Not like he probably cries thinking about all the times he hurt people without even meaning to. Not like he says things that come across as manipulative without him meaning it to because again, saying things like that are normal to him. Not like he would do anything for his friends. Not like most of his decisions, in his mind at least, were to benefit everyone else. Not like he would probably rather die than be like his father. Of course not, that’s ridiculous!

#it’s two am I have lots of feelings about Keefe eek #this is just me saying my thoughts!!#Please don’t argue with me I will cry #ALSO #this isn’t me saying you’re not allowed to like Keefe BECAUSE YOURE ALLOWED TO HAVE OPINIONS #I think it’s just weird how people try to hate on him for things like this #Like his traumatic childhood affected him?? That’s crazy!#Can you tell how scared I am for getting hated on lmao #Well ANYWAYS time for the normal tags #kotlc #lexi says stuff #keefe sencen #keefe #kotlc discourse #<- idk if that’s really appropriate?? Idk I’ve seen people talking about Keefe a lot and arguing and stuff so I think it works #kotlc keefe #keefe kotlc

‘the children yearn for the mines’ is a little too real to me bc when i was a kid and my older siblings were trying to get me into pokémon i really never cared to try playing. BUT. i was obsessed with the underground mining minigame in dppt. i used to beg my sister to let me take a turn playing and set it up for me bc i didn’t know how to so i could go mine for gems nonstop until i cleared that entire cave section of glittering wall spots which always made me so sad bc i was having such a great time. i didn’t even understand the significance of what i was doing but 7 year old me was high off of it

#years and years later when i actually played platinum myself and it hit me like OH this is the game with the mining thing!!!#you have no idea how happy i was #…and also sad. it made me kinda heartsick bc in my childhood nostalgia dreams #my brother and sister used to play online together and do capture the flag #and their little minigame battles in the underground with their cool secret bases were so fun to watch #like that was back when the wifi connection was working and the games were alive and relevant #but i came back to it far far too late. when it was a mere relic and i was alone with no other players #still. hearing the music again brought a smile to my face #pokémon #dppt #i am once again rambling about my very special relationship to sinnoh #i didn’t play pokémon as a kid but also yes i did it was part of my childhood. like without really knowing much about it #the lil character sprites. hearthome city theme #the contests #the crunchy sound of the map opening #and the incomprehensible map itself #the bike and surf music #empoleon and staravia’s cries as they went to use surf and fly #truly. being a younger sibling watching your older sibling play has such an impact on you #it’s all nostalgic to me too i just didn’t know the full context of it myself back then #couple all this with the weird feeling of having played pokémon legends arceus as my first own game #and THEN going and finally checking out dppt #it was like double nostalgia. two different half-nostakgia experiences #just. agh i make fun of gen 4 for a lot of things but it is fundamentally my heart isn’t it #i also literally am incapable of talking about it for more than 5 minutes without bringing pla into it lol #pokeposting

New art of my babies just dropped!!

The way Aoi gets blushy about Akane when he is at his cringiest is very dear to me. He really is adorable in her head.

Lemon is just judging her silently, what a guy.

#This art feels like a shojo cover. Aoi you're so fucking weird and down bad I adore you #my bi queen that could have any guy but chose the childhood friend EVERYONE in manga (even love craze nene) says is insane.#tbhk #toilet bound hanako kun #jshk #jibaku shounen hanako kun #aoi akane #akane aoi #lemon yamabuki #aoikane #aoiaoi #(unrelated but twitter is so annoying and disrespectful?? completely unprompted?? They are the reason I hate aoinene nowadays)
