Prayer to a desperate god

[reasonsforhope]

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

re: that fucking staff post. obviously death to algorithms, but i also wanna interrogate the wider underlying assumptions of their logic there cuz. is 'success' having lots of followers & lots of popular posts??? why is that the end goal of using this website. i don't open tumblr to get attention from strangers, i open tumblr to read funny jokes and interesting commentary and to see cool art. encouraging clout-chasing will only increase user engagement if you successfully get people literally addicted to the associated dopamine hit. what if we didn't have to do that!!! what if a website could be a place you went to on purpose because you had fun there!!!!

Do you think we're soulmates in every universe, me hand? (posting this again cuz I still don't know how Tumblr works and how to get people to see both parts at once)

What awaits at the end of the road…?

I was trying to eat noodles neatly and for some reason I got sad midway. So I drew them messy eating a biscuit and a strawberry to combat sad noodle blues.

Hello! Are you still open for requests? If you do, can you draw Connie? Thanks!

Can you tell I played a lot of dress up games as a kid

DONT LIMIT YOURSELF

Your manifestation can get externalized in infinite ways (based on your beliefs)

Do u want white teeth?

- you might wake up with it

- you might get the money to book an appointment with your dentist

- You might get an offer out of thin air

- etc

So stop beating yourself up over the process and movement

Your life and circumstances are unique to you.

If someone "manifests" $5000 within 5 minutes, IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME or with any of my desires because I know that I will have mine and even better.

And YES you getting the money and booking an appointment with your dentist to whiten your teeth is a success story too.

Live your life! Live your best life!

And the same thing goes with appearance changes.

Ask yourself, "What would it be like to have my desired body? How would I feel if I had my desired white teeth?" Stop TRYING and start BEING

Maybe you want a new nose

- someone might offer you a free rhinoplasty or your body might make specific changes & many more

Just because you got an appointment and had a procedure done doesn't erase the fact that it was also a huge success story.

Be proud of yourself and celebrate your achievements.

something i did when i saw a post of joku talking about this topic: it's an interesting concept but practically impossible because nothing stops artists from continuing to create (this is convenient for ink), based on this i tried to adjust the words of the creator of dreamtale herself to her characters under an objective truth— there is no limit to the multiverse

here's the post and the translation
