i just want to be really loud about the fact that i 100% believe so very strongly in t4t shiny duo (not ccs obvs). gem bc she has ANTLERS! woo! canon trans character in my books! and pearl bc she's an alien and her species doesn't have gender, so she chose to be female upon interacting with more and more humans.

#shiny duo #pearlescentmoon #geminitay #im torn between pearl being an alien and pearl being a moth #but my biology brain wont stop saying “if she has antennae she doesnt need a nose #“moths dont have ears on their head theyre on their wings”#“theres no way those fragile chiton sheaths would survive human activites”#“blah blah blah science must be applicable in a fantasy world blah blah blah”#and its wild and unsportsmanlike and ruining my fun little fantasy world but its PEARL and pearl did DOUBLE LIFE and all the cool biology-#-happening there is too much for my little autism brain to walk away from without taking a couple shiny rocks (ideas about the fundamental-#-ways of the world)#alien PearlescentMoon #deer geminitay #transfem character #transfem geminitay #hermitcraft #arisveah talks nonsense #but im right' as usual.

this might be a hard pill to swallow. but coming from someone who just went on a really long hiatus from drawing and had a several years-long journey of rediscovering my love for art… I think some of u online artists need to just take a break.

like— the amount of times I see people stressing about everything they post and beating themselves up for not being creative as they wish they were is insane. mama! you are burnt out! your mind and body are begging for a break. that’s why it feels taxing to create. that’s why validation isn’t cutting it anymore. that’s why you’re feeling doomed. the more you avoid taking a break and keep pushing yourself, the tougher the recovery process will be.

take. a. break!!!!!!!!!

#it doesn’t mean you need to stop being creative as a whole #but whatever is bringing you stress needs to be put away for a while #for me it was drawing that did it. I would pick up a pencil and feel panicked #I felt no joy or peace from it because I was critical of everything I made #so I started baking. I started crocheting. I started learning how to write creatively #I found myself being invested in nature and noticing the world around me #and became more inspired #without ever having the intention of drawing #and when I felt like it was time to come back to my sketch pad.. that’s when I came back.#I didn’t rush it. I didn’t force myself. and it took a long time. but it’s better than hating everything you make #avoiding taking a break and telling yourself you’re fine does you a disservice #atp you are punishing yourself for not being mentally well. That’s not right #and it also shows in your art when you’re not feeling good about what you make tbh #confidence is attractive. with humans and with art #art rambles #art tips #art tutorial #art how to #art hot take #text post #mine

When 20 years ago atheists said that the decrease in religion (*cough* Christianity *cough*) would lead to a more enlightened society are suddenly concerned about the slow moving ball of Western Society collapsing, authoritarianism rising and political unrest on a level the world has not seen for a very long time.

sigh

#Islam will take the place that Christianity once had if Christians are not careful #the new atheist movement has collapsed because they realize their arguments have no grounding and are just emotional arguments #the reason we believe that human rights is important is because Christianity establishes that all humans are made in the image of God #and we have rights that cannot be taken away from us #what happens when people stop believing that and think their rights originate from the government?#authoritarianism. All those rallies over human rights find their roots in Christianity and only Christianity #Saying that humans can derive morality from themselves when there have been civilizations where murder and oppression #are normal everyday things #yes the bible did have rules concerning slavery but the rules are more along the lines of indentured servitude than the type of slavery #we had here in America #The west had collectively said slavery is bad #but slavery still happens and there are people still fighting it #why? why fight when your beliefs says morality is subjective ?#There must be an objective standard and must be unchanging #for any kind of good to happen #Christianity #religion #morality #politics #new atheism

psych wards are prisons

#and i'm really fucking sick of ppl deciding just to ignore that #it's incarceration #it's forced treatment to the point of torture #do u know the amount of abuse and neglect that is state sanctioned in these wards and facilities?#it is not a “grippy sock vacation”#it is not a “necessary evil”#it must be abolished #abolition means abolition for ALL #“oh but” there is no but. stop taking human rights away from people. full stop.#antipsych #abolition

The world at large would be a better place if more people could recognize and accept they aren't the target audience for Every Thing Ever

#jasper rambles #as someone who is the target audience for many brands of niche 'weird' shit. pls stop whining abt how no one would ever like that im right #here. its for me its not for you #im taking media abt complicated forms of grief away from all of you until you can show some sympathy for the vastness of human experience

unfriendly reminder to humans:

animals dont exist for you.

#literally no part of the job description for animal is like 'oh and its your life purpose to serve this human in whichever way they want'#if you cant appreciate animals complexities and individual personalities etc and instead choose to only view them through your selfish #self serving lense- fuck you #animals exist to be animals in the wild ecosystem. thats like. their number 1 purpose. its only humans who've decided that we're entitled #to decide their purpose when we catch them.#aw your new cat doesnt like you and doesnt give you the cuddles you wanted? newsflash: that was never its job. thats what YOU wanted.#do you see what im trying to say? so many of yall see the world through the lense of what YOU want.#stop idealizing your selfish desires and actually try to understand life from their pov.#the longer you treat animals as a means to an end. the more likely you'll mistreat them and ignore their needs.#which will reduce their numbers #and then humans go 'arghh how could this happen??' idk maybe its your cold detached approach to animals #where they only exist to serve whatever purpose you've decided for them #whether thats pet. food. or 'tools'. all of which takes away any of their agency #as if they're somehow inherently lesser than you.#you've created a situation of dependence. make it a good one at least and treat your cat right.#and not like a doll you dress up n shit.#be thankful your animal chooses to stay in your life.be grateful for what they provide for YOU too #bc they're doing you a favor by not going back to business as usual in the woods.#humans have gotten way to comfortable considering themselves the 'owners' of animals and not as their companions or at the very least #a gift from the earth. as if all they are is property. as if all they are is a tool. and thats all there is to them.#yall will only regret taking animals for granted like some of yall do.

My sisters boyfriend is being a massive dick and I just have to sit by and watch her cry

#I'm tired of men seriously there's only one man on this earth I fully completely trust and he unfortunately can't even be my boyfriend #he's so mean to her and I'm not allowed to say anything #I know she stays with him cus that's the only option we'd be homeless if she broke up with him #but it doesn't give him the right to make her cry 24/7 #like I'm autistic so to stay sane I can't think about real life stuff I'm an adult child #but she HAS to think of life stuff I wish he was more supportive of her #everytime I hear them fight her main point is 'you don't have to take care of an entire human being'#and that breaks me everytime #it just feels like killing my self would take a bunch of problems away #I know that I'm dead weight as a human I'm trying so hard but it's never enough #I feel like most disabled people who are in this level of need don't usually understand stuff around them/serious life stuff #but I have the unfortunate gift of being extremely hyper aware and am paralyzed to do anything #for years I've had the same thought #they'd be better off without me #and it's true #the only thing that stops me from killing myself is that I'm scared how mad they'd be if I failed

"noooo the LGBT community has a positive accepting space :((("

*proceeds to try and join her own community and gets decimated again*

I've rarely seen a more validating sentence in my entire life.

#lmao #shes crying about this but she deserves so much worse #maybe stop trying to take away human rights if you can't even handle tumblr #or your own fans LOL

#tag talk #idk. I'm thinking about therapy now. it's really based on the self report model which means that it's weakness is #is a patient who cannot accurately self report their own internal world. emotions. and thoughts.#which. when you have a pervasive need to lie about yourself. to mask. to retell the truth to fit your own narrative. that's kind of an issu #my second (and by far least favorite therapist) refused to ever actually engage in dialogue with me. she simply sat back and watched/listen #which left me simply spinning in place. running through every stupid social trick I knew just to find a direction to take things.#I'm gonna break away from that thought because there's a more pressing thing in my head right now.#are you familiar with the fear that comes with being seen and recognized? the realization that you're no longer cloaked by anonymity?#I'm feeling that a little here with these tag talks. I used to be confidently ignored and left alone to ramble on my own #and that's changed a little bit. not immensely. y'all are still politely ignoring these generally. but.. idk #I crave intimacy and dialogue and social interaction but simultaneously it's terrifying.#I so deeply want connection but the pressure and expectation that comes with it is genuinely frightening to me.#I really don't know how people do it. the only solid relationships in my life are with people who are fundamentally detached from me.#ugh I want to finish this thought but letting it dwell in my head really hurts. do I push through it or do I leave off here?#fuck it I'm gonna force my way through. I'm not giving up here.#I'm scared. that's it. I'm scared. scared people are going to see me. scared people will talk to me. but I want that!#I want to be seen. to be known. to be recognized. it's that deep seated human social drive that I can't escape. it's so fucking stupid.#idk. I've decided that if I ever top 100 followers I'm gonna just up and move blogs. start fresh and start over.#I'm not Super close to that but I'm reasonably close (not giving you a percentage because that's just.. my actual follower count)#it feels like tumblr etiquette to not publicly state your follower count. and idk. I actively don't want followers.#I want my isolated conclave with comfortable faces and familiar blogs. people are scary so I necessarily don't want too many around #damn I got way off topic. what the fuck was I talking about? I was onto something heavy before I lost track #ugh maybe I need to take a break from tumblr for a while. my queue has been running at full for a while and it's stressing me out.#I'm on here too much spinning and spinning and spinning with no traction.#I need to take these new thoughts and feelings and really just get out and experiment with them. stop just running on my hamster wheel #I think if I can get dms dealt with in the next few days I can just delete tumblr off my phone and take a sabbatical #it's been a while since I took a real break from here. it would be nice I think.#I just.. I don't like feeling like I'm talking to a person. I don't like feeling like these are going to be seen #and that's not your fault! I'm literally hitting the “Post” button. that's my choice to put these out semi-publicly #I don't want to ever put that responsibility on someone else when it's my own choice to make myself visible.

YOU HAVE TO VOTE DEMOCRAT #you HAVE to get dem legislatures and dem governors #you HAVE to vote in EVERY fucking election #school board and library levies #EVERY GOD DAMNED FUCKING ELECTION #so get registered to vote #if you've registered but moved since? YOU HAVE TO UPDATE YOUR REGISTRATION #VERIFY YOUR REGISTRATION IS AT YOUR CURRENT ADDRESS #GET YOUR FRIENDS REGISTERED TO VOTE #REGISTER FOR MAIL BALLOTS #IF YOU CAN'T DO MAIL BALLOTS HAVE A PLAN TO GET TO THE POLLS #HELP OTHER PEOPLE GET TO THE POLLS ON ELECTION DAY #elections aren't about *you*#they're about taking care of the community; the collective #SO FUCKING DO IT #I AM SO FUCKING MAD ABOUT THIS SO YOU'D BETTER FUCKING DO IT #also if i hear any 'lesser of two evils' horseshit i am stabbing you in your sleep #democrats are not trying to take away your reproductive healthcare or right to privacy or human rights or right to privacy #so stop reading memes on twitter and IG and reddit #and actually listen to the candidates and vote for whoever wins the dem primary okay?????#AND THINK ABOUT RUNNING FOR OFFICE #HRC FOUNDED A PROGRAM JUST FOR THIS #SIGNED SOMEONE LIVING IN A STATE CONTROLLED BY A PSYCHOTIC MURDEROUS GOP #they are literally actively fighting to take away our voting rights #IN BROAD DAYLIGHT #AGAINST THE WILL OF THE VOTERS

You can see that this one actually stung him. His expression. him entirely taken back and then just zooming off.

Bradford was the whole reason why Xever ended up that way in the first place. This man can no longer breathe on land, lost his legs and then gets locked inside a tank while Bradford is mocking him about the predictment as well.

He was entirely at the mercy of those around him. His master confirmed that he was useless to him and we know what Shredder does with people who are useless to him.

Can you imagine how unsettling that must have been? He was locked inside that small space, trapped behind glass. His fate yet to be decided. Xever is in his own way more of a social guy too so he was forced into isolation.

He needs to talk with people - he is even trying to do his usual banter with Bradford but it backfires in every way because Bradford is tapping against the glass and then just says that maybe he will have his use when Master Shredder gets hungry for sushi - and Shredder agrees.

Shredder is not entertaining this banter ("Enough, Xever!" - why just him? Bradford is guilty of it too) and considering he is in Shredder's throne room...you just know Shredder was not the most pleasant company to have during that time.

Also - they probably had to feed him because he couldn't just get himself a snack.

#;you can never go wrong with eating them (Rahzar)#I think there were at least some consequences for Bradford #their mutation was the reason why the turtles managed to escape #and now they are both useless to him #Dogpound is not the best warrior anymore #and he is unable to do anything with Xever #both of his top warriors and this happened because Bradford wanted to take the turtles down with him #and did not even manage that #i dont think shredder was happy to hear about any of that #he did already beat up bradford in one episode #;the waiting game (queue)#they really rubbed the whole thing in with xever #he could not function afterwards #he was locked inside that tank for a few eps #then he gets robot legs that do not function right away either #all while bradford is laughing for hours #i think about xever getting stuck inside that tank a lot because man that was messed up #imagine you are human and your whole life you were entirely dependent on yourself #and in the next moment you are dying because you got turned into a fish #so you have to get stuck inside a tank #and your fate is in the hands of people who could care less about you that way #all while one of them is a dick who keeps tapping against the glass #Xever even goes no no no no #and just wants him to stop #says ow screams and holds his head

it's 1 am and i am thinking

#kip keep quiet #i need. to design stormtracks #i cannot stop thinking about her #she's based off the pere marquette 1225 (the polar express if you will)#i have zero plot for her i just have this big lady who stays well away from either side of the war #she survives off her own synthesized energon long before ratchet attempted to make the formula #she only gets involved in anything when knockout chases june and bill around her trainyard and shes like #FUCK no no bot or con is tormenting the humans around here #because she has a fascination with them the way children are fascinated by dragons and trains and dinosaurs #and she just fucking. transforms and GRABS him #i am currently specifically thinking about her getting into a skirmish with predaking #and he roars at her #and she roars right back by letting loose her whistle #she takes shit from no one not even the one motherfucker thats actually big enough to fuck her up if he wanted to

WHY CANT THIS MOTHERFUCKING REPUBLICAN LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE it’s literally the same four ads on loop every six posts good fucking god

#like i am literally having nightmares about the election #that’s how inescapable it is #i am so over this #i fucking hate america #i want no one to win the election #i want an end to empire and imperialism and government sponsored genocide #i cry all the time at these videos of people dying in real time #between palestine and appalachia and lebanon and sudan and congo #i just am so angry and i am so scared #i want to donate but i barely have enough money for food rn much less to donate #i do not want to keep voting for the lesser of two evils #i just want to be allowed to exist as a person #and for everyone to recognize the people around them are people #that the people around us are actual human beings who deserve to live and exist in peace with access to basic necessities #without having to work 80 hours a week to make ends meet #i want to have enough money in my savings account that i don’t have to worry about getting sick or taking a day off #i want a fucking break #i want to just cry and cry until i am empty and wrung out and can go to sleep and not dream #i want to be able to focus and i want my meds to work and i want my friends to be okay #and i want my dad to not vote for trump and use my pronouns and treat me like an adult #and i want american evangelicalism to end #i want a free palestine #i want to feel like a person when i wake up and i want to still feel like a person at the end of the day #i just want to exist and i want everyone to be able to exist and be kind to eachother and stop trying to take everyone’s rights away #i know i am screaming into the void rn #and i know most of this probably won’t happen and if it does it’ll take years and years of hard work but i want to do the work #i want to have the mental and emotional space to put in the time and effort and to take care of my community

probably said this before but people taking hormones, relying on the healthcare system because they need to take medicine are GOOD things.

it means people get what they need in order to live!

our bodies arent perfect but goddamn it we have the solution already. right in front of us. in a lot of cases actually holding it in out hands

calling trans people "forever patients" or w/e says a lot about how transphobes view disabled people as well, like yeah some people need medical intervention to live or to not kill themselves and sometimes they will need that care for the rest of their lives, sorry i guess

#cis but taking hormones #for the rest of my life #since i was a teen #3/4 people in my family rely on the healthcare system #but even if that was not the case trans people deserve to live #if you take away one groups rights its not going to stop #trans rights are human rights #trans is just the bad guy of the week #never again #lets not repeat our mistakes
