My town looks like a toy box
The buildings are too small
The roads seem fake and the people made of wood
I am not sure how this came to be
The only thing that’s real
In this quaint place of make believe
And faded memories
My need to get out
And the ocean breathes life
Into me again;
Isolation
When I go back inside
Destined to die
In a box filled with toys
#delirium and melancholia#poetry#freestyle poem#freestyle poetry#death to my hometown#my hometown#outgrowing places#stuck here forever#trapped

As comfy as it is, I think you might need a new bra with how it’s tearing LOL. And with how expensive they can be, maybe we can help fund it?
it tore because i accidentally put it thru the dryer and that mesh part is sensitive to heat 😔😔
i will not deny any help with bras but i warn y’all well-fitting bras are pricy asf and there’s a reason i’m sticking w the ones i outgrew 30lbs ago 😭
if y’all wanna help find something… i’m a 44O/42P or, fuck it, a 44P
#ewa michalak is the only place i’ve found bras but they hand make them and. i outgrow stuff far too easily nowadays for that i think#i feel bad outgrowing everything#talk#ask

Shul question of the day: why are there so many books on our free book table... Is there a jewish book fairy that goes to each shul to give us an excessive amount of books or is my shul just filled with eccentric book collectors who collect very niche books on judaism and need to get rid of them before they take over their entire house
If there is a jewish book fairy, though, could she please grace my bookshelves please 🙏🙏🙏
#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#personal thoughts tag#shul shenanigans#there are SO many books on their free book table#it isn't even a pile of free books. it's a whole TABLE with boxes under it with MORE BOOKS#idea: i tell my future kids that there's a book fairy#and when they outgrow their books they can place them somewhere and she replaced them with books that better suit them/their age#or maybe it's like overnight their bookshelf is replaced with books that they may have expressed wanting but haven't gotten#honestly i would have loved a book fairy more than a tooth fairy why couldn't i have parented me LOL#i don't know if i'll ever have kids but this post inspired that spiel

I headcanon that in an alternate universe where aDitF didn’t happen, Jason joins his college’s football team.
He’d been wanting to play football with his high-school’s team for the longest time, but he was never the right fit (physically) so he puts in the extra effort to build up his body.
Some days feel like his work is finally paying off, and others are just spent scrutinizing himself and every little flaw detail about himself in the mirror.
Bruce is very encouraging about it, reminding him on the worse days that Jason will achieve whatever he sets his mind to, and optimistic that all that work will definitely amount to something. He’s still a growing boy after all, and he’s got a lot of time till college to turn things around. Bruce makes sure to praise Jason’s hard work and give extra tips here and there on what workout or diet regimen could use an improvement.
This also means he has to sacrifice a few things, like avoiding certain foods at all costs, which proves to be a challenging feat for him for obvious reasons. Once upon a time he had to teach himself not to be picky about food because any kind of food at all was a luxury, which most of the time meant he had to make do with least beneficial kind, hence the predicament he was in right now. This, in turn, had caused sever changes to his digestive system and his taste buds. (His body had rejected the healthy food on the first few weeks he'd come to live with Bruce.)
Of course things had changed over the years, what with him having to adapt to becoming Robin. But it was different now, because he had to actively avoid certain foods and it went against a fundamental instinct.
Nothing is too great a feat for him, though.
So then he’s in college, and he's finally gotten into the team he'd always dreamt of one day playing in. Jason's in the field, and the benches are overcrowded with spectators and fans, other students or the family of the other players, an then his eyes lands on his family. Because they never lose a game, always there to cheer him on and raise his spirits specially during difficult matches. Bruce and Alfred can always be seen among the crowd, and Dick, whenever he's in town.
And that's why he can never help turning to find their faces in the crowd when his team wins, specially when he's the one scoring the win, the biggest of grins on his face, looking to share all his euphoria and happiness with the most important people in his life.
#also i always imagine him having moved on from being robin#sort of outgrowing it or smth#and he's not planning on taking up a mask any time soon#not that he's lost the passion to help people or anything#i think it's just nice to see him enjoy being a normal civilian again#well#i mean as normal a civilian as a life of being bruce wayne's son and an urban football star grants you#ugh sorry my thoughts are kindda all over the place cause i was supposed to be writing a very overdue essay instead of this headcanon lol#i'll definitely come back to tweak with and expand this headcanon#jason todd#robin#red hood#batman#bruce wayne#alferd pennyworth#dick grayson#nightwing#my headcanons

Men who view women as their intellectual equals 😍
#pro tip for the boys: a lot of girls will respond a lot better to a stimulating conversation than to a guy trying to show off#ignore the movies they're lying to you when they tell you you need to be a show off#and if a girl wants that it's maybe not the best sign y'know?#but most girls just want to be treated like we're capable intelligent humans#that's all!! the movies and shit make it way more complicated than it has to be#and yes some girls do make things awkward and complicate everything#but maybe you wanna be careful about that because those girls generally have a lot to unpack#being friends with those girls is fine!! just make sure you have strong boundaries in place#and make sure she's doing some work on herself before considering a romantic relationship#but anyway i've had a lot of men in my life that i feel like wanted to be so much smarter than me#and not to be rude but they weren't?? i was just as smart and sometimes smarter#i didn't care that they were confident in their intelligence but i felt like i needed to dumb myself down#and it. freaking. sucked. i have no idea how i did it for so long#and i would even make jokes about like the guys i dated being smarter than me and nobody ever said anything??#and again these guys weren't smarter than me. that's not an insult to them just acknowledging i'm smarter than i was gave myself credit for#i'm outgrowing the notion that i have to dumb myself down for men and it's so freeing#and you know what really helps me actually? being in college#and especially being in college with so many intelligent men who know they're smart#these guys KNOW they're smart. and not in an arrogant way in a secure and confident way#them knowing they're smart makes them the OPPOSITE of arrogant actually#it's weird but i stand by my observation and it makes sense when you think about it#if you're secure in yourself and your intelligence you don't need to proce yourself by making other people look dumb#these guys are secure in their self-image and masculinity. they don't need women to be dumb and weak to feel strong and intelligent.#and it's so freaking endearing. i love that for these guys so much.#i am just so thankful for people in my life who are taking me seriously and who are helping me to understand i'm worth taking seriously.#wow these tags are long but anyway#guys you don't have to prove anything girls you should never have to dumb yourselves down live long and prosper

experimenting with brushes + stumbling on the linear burn metamy
#happy holidays i have secret santas queued up soon so srry for the inevitable spams#my art#my ocs#my sketches#dnd#dungeons and dragons#oh wait none of the other players are here for once OK . complicated explanation:#< you are the only person my age in this very isolated village so im wildly desperate for your attention (may still be?) and-#-friendship. now that we’re older im envious of the fact you have a choice to stay here/your#-greater calling to outgrow this place and i hate you for that so now i have to antagonize you and craft a narrative where i always#always hated you because it’s easier to scapegoat you more than anything else. coughs out a breath >#‘and it’s just like goob?’ Its literally just like goob.

very random thought but i feel like a lot of adult anime fans would really enjoy more plots centered around adult life? like imagine being an anime fan as a kid/teenager bc you somehow felt connected. THEN also finding that same comfort in anime centered around adulthood which eventually you grew into. im sorry, but the “friendship and determination is all we need to defeat the opposition!” trope and anything akin is a little played out for me personally. (note, i said personally)
like i wish there were more Seinen creators. mappa and the jjk team did their big one and in just the little time the franchise has really existed fr. they gave awesome plot, relatable and/or provoking characters. and all genders approve. i love seeing one side of social media all hyped up about the most recent kill move and then you have those screaming on the other about willingly ripping off their clothes for the 2 second clip of a cursed presence.
and more specifically they did LITTLE but gave us everything with the fanservice. everyone was fully clothed, but they knew exactly how to animate certain movements, speech, drama, and action scene to where it was both appealing yet still exciting. no upshot panties, no cheap breasts pans that make you shift uncomfortably (like wtf.) no weird perverted underlying plot mechanism used as a lazy way to make barely legal characters fuck.
and more importantly, everyone’s a grown. ass. adult.
plus the characters were either really likable, relatable and kin-worthy even, but also thought inducing (and panty dampening). but i don’t know, im not gonna suck the jjk fandom’s dick any longer. i just say all this to say, jjk will just be one of those franchises for the books and any creator wanting to animate more Seinen or adult genres need to take a couple notes
#[ just in—☆ ]#tw messy thoughts#is it their indirect way of saying adulthood is boring lame n unimaginative?#i dunno. but im outgrowing most of my favorite anime#obvi ill always have a place in my heart for them not to be corny but ts got me thru some dark days as a kid.#but rewatching as an adult you can clearly see the…..yk. the problems. the issues.#like i just started watching zom 100#dude was a desk worker turned zombie apocalyptic survivor#MORE OF THAT#i dont even need the fanservice just more exiting and relatable plots

Currently thinking about my character (who is technically just an au version of a public domain character but shh), who goes through the story being the designated Squishy Weak Human. A medic, a healer, constantly getting kidnapped by bad guys, being talked over and babied and patronized. "We need to protect you, you're fragile and weak, you're human- which means you can't protect yourself."
And imagining the exact scene where she finally loses it and uses ALL of her power at once. Decimating the space in a show of raw unfiltered power, screaming her lungs out as light and heat coalesce into horrid destruction. Everyone else watching in horror as she razes the earth and crushes buildings, clouds of dust exploding into debris. Destruction, fear, the most violent among them standing stock still in horror as he watches her great work unfold. And then it ends, and everyone stands up realizing that even though the space around them has been utterly destroyed, not a single person was hurt.
And the collective moment of "Oh. Oh, this was intentional. This was a choice."
Anyways all that to say I like characters who choose to be kind, gentle, and merciful. I like characters who are peaceful by choice, not nature, and who could revoke that choice at any point if they wanted to. They won't. But they could.
#the ink speaks#writing#I hate it when characters are reduced to babied weaklings for not wanting to hurt people#kindness is a choice#mercy is a choice#it's very easy to break things and to lash out at your own benifit#it takes patience and strength and a metric shit ton of self-control to never hurt anyone at all#especially if you've already been hurt yourself (as this character has been) or are in a terrible situation#violence and cruelty are not prerequisites for maturity#and cynicism is not any more intelligent just because it says the world is awful#a character choosing to be peaceful and kind out of love for the world around them is not a weakness#and i think actively showing that as something the characters have to learn could be really interesting#because in real life a lot of people do think of optimism as the inherently naiver choice that people are supposed to outgrow#despite the fact that optimism has been repeatedly proven right on a global scale#anyways placing limits on your characters is also fun#Hippocratic oaths especially#because you have to think about how a character navigates conflict without hurting anyone even when the other person wants to hurt them

I've only had the snake for a week but I've been making adjustments to the tank as needed. The black vase thing I got her as a hide is too big for her to feel comfy, so she's been hanging out behind/under it all week. At work I got a cave thing that's actually a fishtank accessory and wasn't sure she'd go for it, but within an hour of it being in her tank she
So. She likes it I guess lol.
#she'll outgrow it pretty quickly i think#but for now she's snug and happy so I'm happy#I'd boop the snoot but today was feeding day and she's still a little feisty lol#people keep asking if I've named her yet and I'm like I'm gonna get her sexed before I decide i think#there's a place that tests their sheds for gender so you don't have to probe them or anything#and it's only $20 so yeah when she shed I'm gonna do that#...but i keep calling her Penelope lol#Penelope might be a man idk

i feel like giffing has become so boring lately. and maybe i’m just outgrowing this thing (i’ve been doing it for over a decade) or maybe it is the fact that tumblr keeps changing and making it so hard for us to be here. does anyone else feel this way?
#this place used to be fun#i used to sit in my computer and gif for hours#now i open photoshop to make a single gif and i give up#am i lazy / am i outgrowing gifmaking / am i depressed#we just don't know

as someone who enjoys both hobbies it is the most bizarre thing when people try to insinuate that reading books and playing video games are mutually exclusive hobbies that one person cant have at the same time and theyre an indication of your intelligence somehow?
#like i didnt quite get anything this far but i got comments on my short story bc it was video game related#where the ppl had to clarify ‘’oh i hate video games usually bc i prefer reading’’#and it was multiple ppl and im like…. ok good for u what does that have to do w the story#like if u look in the right places video games have so much storytelling potential#or i get weird looks in my english classes like ‘’wow… u didnt outgrow that haha’’#like i hate to break it to u but even if i was exclusively a video game guy u are still on my level. we’re both geeks#two degrees of separation#echoed voice

people are so fucking weird about the language used to discuss autistic and neurodivergent kids/people lol it’s so frustrating
#still thinking abt that woman who went off at somebody for saying she had ‘sensory’ kids in her class#instead of ‘neurodivergent’#and completely ignored that she was advice to support them to start an argument#and I just saw somebody else say ‘hey my autistic 6 year old really likes X but he’s outgrowing it#does anyone have any suggestions for something similar that fits older kids?’#and somebody else came and started whining about how reductive it was to ‘label him as autistic’ like maybe fuck off if you don’t have any#useful suggestions for this mother trying to help her son lol#and yea there are legitimate issues around language but there’s also a time and a place and maybe sometimes ppl should get over themselves

I want to move to a more progressive city. nothing too big. but somewhere that’s mostly walkable or has decent public transport. and work in like a quaint little coffee shop or bookstore or something. and meet a cute girl. and get involved in the local art scene.
