#support others

[brokendarkfairyempressforever]

um not to invalidate you or your efforts but

when someone is overwhelmed or sad or anxious or just not in a good head space at the moment and you put a movie or a show or try to play a game with them or whatever and they say they don’t want to do that, probably because it just makes it too overwhelming and you say “well I did this for you. I didn’t even want to do it anyway” or something like that it makes them feel really guilty and ashamed for feeling like this. Worse it’ll make them even more closed off and being too scared to ask for help.

Instead be their support. Ask if they want to talk if they say yes don’t interrupt and don’t make it about you. If they say no then don’t force them just stay so they know you’re still here and care. They might a little later share or you’ll have made a foundation of trust so they can go to you if they want to talk later. Give them options. If they’ve gone non-verbal talk about your day or anything really to show you’re staying and you’re there for them. Have a piece of paper and a writing utensil if they want to write or type it down give them the option. If they’re overwhelmed or having a panic or anxiety attack do the 5 things you see,4 things you hear, 3 things you touch, 2 things you smell, 1 thing you taste. ofc you change it to fit the situation. For example I can’t really smell so I change it to sight and touch. Do this method the amount of times they need it so they can come back to reality and free from their mind prison.

Ask if they would like a hug if yes give them a hug and if not stay by their side.

in the end you need to figure out what works best for them and be their support don’t make them feel worse about themselves. A lot of people make me feel guilty about it. Only 2 people in my life get it and are there for me. They give me the option to talk to have physical contact and don’t mind if I say no because they still stay until I’m out of mind prison. If I can’t talk I can write it down and/or have them hold my hand or hug me. The senses method it takes me about 5-7 times to calm me down. Just please be their support because they probably have no one to go to.

anyone can add their tips and advice btw!

I honestly hate the anti/critical side of fandoms I enjoy at most times :(. For me, I just don't see the point of having a blog dedicated to hating on a show or game UNLESS its for a good reason or a satire joke. But if its for downright hatred then that is just stupid--can you IMAGINE having an account based on hating a cartoon you despise of? It has to be tiring and worthless and dumb.

Plus I also hate how antis and criticals attempt to ""rewrite"" the shows or plot even though all they do is reuse and overuse cliche anime tropes or that the plot is so boring. Same for how they wanna rewrite the characters; like, they claim its for "writing the character(s) better" but they way they do it is EVEN MORE worse, especially for female characters as well. I hate it. I absolutely hate it.

I could go on and on about this, but I think you get the idea. /gen Sorry for that one anon who left you that awful message in relation to drawing/supporting vivziepop, I think you're amazing as an artist so keep up at it /pos

See this, folks? THIS right here is how you treat other people. Not telling them shit that you love something that they hate or think they can make it better. NO! If you hate something and say you can “make it better”, we’ll be sure as Hell that you just don’t get the plot and characters of the show/movie like the people who loved them do

And if you don’t like something, keep all that negativity to yourself and go watch/read something else that you think you might ACTUALLY like! Don’t just target people who enjoys something you don’t

Also, thank you so much for the compliment. It means so much to me to hear that, and I hope you had an amazing day 😁

And don’t worry, I get rants like this so often

Quick mental health check

Hope you know that when around the right people you should be able to be yourself without being judged! However that only works if it also accounts for others emotions as well because it's not the 'right people' when both can't feel free to express themselves and have fun doing it!

You don't get happiness from putting others down because you'll just stay on the same level while convincing them you're dropping theirs. Helping others grow increases your own will and strength. Not everyone can help others tho and it's ok if you find yourself in that position because you should surround yourself with the people that will help you when you can't help yourself. And they shouldn't ask for something in return other than your company and friendship, because that's what you can do to help them say at a level to help others.

Kindness, as cringe as it is, helps everyone involved and has no drawbacks when used correctly!There are those who don't return the help tho. They might just not be the right people for you tho. Everyone is different and complex. But if someone takes your kindness as a weakness, use it for themselves, or disregard it then they do not deserve your attention, time, effort, or ability to show compassion and sympathy. Kindness is a strength, and yeah I know being rude can be funny, but only if everyone likes it. Even then it just isn't in some people's nature and if they do do it, it could be because they're in a low time and might need a reminder of kindness back instead of encouragement because it is 'funny'.

Everyone is different and deserves a chance, they can disregard that chance for all I care but they must know they won't get another one unless they've proven they've changed.

Being kind is hard and takes a lot of practice with your emotions and some might not have the time to learn those skills like someone else might. Or they might have trouble with their own emotions, might have had a bad day, something irritating them, because people aren't rude for no reason. All you can do is try to help. Setting an example to follow and helping them find their way is what some people need.

I enjoy kindness and being nice to others It's how I keep a level head and control my health while helping as many people as I can. Being kind isn't everyone's specialty and that's okay. People show remorse, gratitude, joy, and happiness differently. You just need to figure out how to show kindness to them and find how they show it to you. That is how you find the right people and how you stay with them! Everyone deserves someone. 🙂

My piece of wisdom for the day:

It's okay to have different opinions. It's okay if you decide you don't want to play a game, read a book...ect...because you have decided that is does not align with your moral values in some way. It is your right as a person to feel that way.

Where it becomes a problem is when you're entering someone else's space and trying to force your views on another person. It's not okay to harass someone else for an opposing viewpoint. I imagine you want the freedom to think what you think, right? So why shouldn't they have that freedom?

And to those who have been harassed... Don't let it get to you... brush it off, or block them. There's no sense to give a person like this, even the time of day. You'll never change their mind no matter how many logical points you use. They've made up their mind. Don't engage, and most importantly, don't let it devalue yourself and cause you to stop something you enjoy!

Hope everyone has a good day ❤️

Please don't get mad and go off on me just listen

okay so I was homeless like more than a year ago

It was awful and terrifying and now I have more trauma to add in my big book of traumas'

Almost got raped

Being homeless is scary as heck

Please stop treating people who are homeless as crap

They're people and they deserve to be treated one

We were homeless because before my dad left he didn't pay the rent for months and we didn't know until like 7 months later when the landlord told us. We also been paying the rent after he left. She seemed understanding of our situation. At least we thought. Around my first week of school first week of me being a freshman in highschool she said she's going to kick us out until we pay the missing rent the rent that my dad didn't pay that we didn't know about and when we found out she said it was OKAY THAT SHE UNDERSTOOD. She said we have until the end of October to move out. We begged her to understand my mom is a single mom, my sister had to drop out of college to help pay the debt my dad left. It was impossible for them to be able to pay that large amount. She then said we have until the end of December. She kicked us out on November 15th 2022. We had almost everything packed. We found a place we just needed to settle a few things. We were almost there. She kicked us out more than a month early. The house we were going to rent said no at the last minute. We were at the streets. A month later we found a shelter at this hotel. They had a section for the homeless. They gave us expired food. I got food poisoning multiple times. My immune system is non existent at this point. They rarely had halal food but at least they tried. We had a court case. And the land lord god that effing woman won because she's rich. Literally the only reason. She unpacked our things and messed it up to show how we're bad people. No one cared that my dad was the one who created this mess. Who cares right he's a man. And we're 3 girls and a child and we're poor, brown, south Asian, and muslim. She kept almost all of our things even things that we just had for memories. She took everything, every belonging she took and gave us empty bags and boxes. This lady by the way has 3 houses in the Hamptons, but who cares right? Ramadan was a nightmare the amount of days we didn't get food. I don't even want to remember. Then in the middle of Ramadan my county shut down that shelter since it was "hindering the hotel's business". So they shipped us to the only shelter in my county. I got sick a lot but I still had to go to school cause I was sick every couple weeks. They never had halal food and the masjid when they had leftovers the workers there wouldn't give it to us. Only one of the shelter worker cared for us and when she could she gave us the food. I pray for her everyday. We never really got food. I had little brother too I would give we would give most of the food we got to him. The my mom sister and me would share but I know they gave me a little more. Then around the end of Ramadan our social worker at the shelter was able to get us an apartment. It's been rocky since then but at least we have somewhat stable housing. We're definitely really lucky and fortunate. We thank Allah(God) every day.

I'm telling you this story because you don't know what people go through. You don't know the reasons why people are homeless. You don't know what they go through. So please help and understand and give us at least human decency.

And open more homeless shelters. Make them safer. Give food that you would give everyone else. Make food accessible for people with allergies and religious restrictions. Make it easier for people to go find work and education. Don't restrict their rights. It's all I'm asking

Anyway I'm just asking for the world to be kinder, respectful, understand to all people of this world.

Uplifting Talents: The Power of Encouragement in Our Community

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to overlook the incredible talents that each of us possesses. Whether it's woodworking, photography, drawing, or any other skill, everyone has something unique to offer. Encouraging others to embrace their passions not only brings joy to their lives but also strengthens our sense of community. By celebrating and uplifting the talents of those around us, we can create a supportive environment that makes a real difference in the lives of others. Let's explore how encouraging creativity and talent can transform our communities for the better.

Everyone loves to feel supported. When someone takes the time to appreciate our efforts, it motivates us to push our boundaries and strive for greatness. Think about a time when someone praised your work. How did that make you feel? By encouraging others to pursue their interests, we help build their confidence. For instance, if you know someone who loves woodworking, showing interest in their projects or giving them positive feedback can inspire them to create even more impressive pieces. The same goes for photographers capturing the beauty around them or artists pouring their emotions onto a canvas. Everyone needs a little nudge now and then to realize their potential.

Encouragement creates a chain reaction. When we uplift others, it not only fills them with joy but also ignites a sense of belonging in our community. Imagine a neighborhood where everyone shares and appreciates each other's talents. Such an environment fosters a culture of collaboration and camaraderie. People come together to learn from one another, share their skills, and inspire each other to grow. This collaboration not only enhances individual growth but also strengthens the fabric of society, making it more vibrant and dynamic.

Furthermore, spreading kindness and empathy can lead to a ripple effect. A small act of encouragement can brighten someone’s day, leading them to do the same for others. Just like throwing a pebble into a pond creates ripples, our positive actions can reach far beyond our initial influence. If we can create an environment where support and positivity are the norms, we can change the world around us. By celebrating others’ successes, we foster a community where everyone feels valued and empowered to take their passions to the next level.

As a society, we all play a part in this. It begins with a simple gesture—a compliment, a word of encouragement, or even just paying attention to someone’s passion. These small acts can transform lives. The next time you encounter someone sharing their talent, take a moment to show your appreciation. It doesn't have to be grand; even a simple “I love your work!” can mean the world to someone.

In conclusion, encouraging others to showcase their talents is vital for building a strong and connected community. Let’s pledge to uplift those around us and create an environment filled with kindness and collaboration. Remember, your support can make a significant impact on someone’s life. We all have a role to play—let’s be the change we wish to see in the world. Go out there and make a difference, starting with a smile or a few encouraging words today!

[uncanny-tranny]

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.
