#this is a straight up vent post

werewolf who shattered all the mirrors in her house because she hates seeing herself - not as a beast, but as a human. her shifts are uncontrollable, never coming often enough or lasting long enough to make her happy, only to give her a tiny flash of what she could be but isn’t

werewolf who doesn’t have a pack anymore. she doesn’t look enough like a wolf and she hates being human too much to comfortably hang out with either group. you’re the only person she lets get close to her - everyone else calls her a monster, and she’s fine with that word and actually enjoys it sometimes but hates the way they say it when they’re talking about her. but she has you and you count for something even if you aren’t a pack or a human friend group

she holds you close at night when you sleep over, which you do more and more recently because you’re worried about her, and sniffles softly when she thinks you’re asleep. when the salty tears wake you by landing on your skin, you both know what’s going on but she hates to feel like she needs to be taken care of, so she just makes a joke about being a big slobbery mutt who can’t help herself but drool on you

but her smile never reaches her eyes

I genuinely need to travel into the same universe that the people that say "there are too many artists that focus on sexy space marines and/or make them gay" come from, because if you write "sexy space marine" or "sexy astartes" into the search you get only FEMALE space marines/FEMstartes, not the bara/bear heaven. Until the day the reverse happens, I will not stop drawing sexy bara space marines, and none of y'all have any right to complain or try to stop me.

in my humble opinion as someone with multiple cluster b disorders including bpd, the aim shouldn't be to "cure" it at all, because trauma cannot be cured and this is not an attainable goal, which sets an unfair precedent for us ourselves as victims of the disorder. the aim should instead be to heal and rehabilitate to a point where you can cope with the behaviors you've developed that are connected to the trauma. healing will happen, but the desire to "cure" all "sick" people is not a helpful stance to have and is way more damaging than it is helpful. hurt people don't need to be "cured" so much as just understood and helped. "curing" us is very much a medicalized idea that bases a person's worth on their ability to function. you and your struggles will always be valid, whether you heal or not, whether you're "cured" or not <3

“i think dnis are stupid so i will purposefully ignore them and reblog posts from people even when they have explicitly stated that they don’t want me to. they can just block me!”

are u aware that u reblogging it then exposes me and my post to whoever follows u — presumably like-minded individuals that i would also not want to interact with??? like are u fucking stupid genuinely? selfish as fuck. also having no empathy is a weird fucking flex lmfao.

very annoying getting into a fandom where most of the audience seems to be on the younger side. there are so many concepts that are completely normal that just seem outside the realm of possibility for a teenager to even comprehend

I see SO much "how could anyone like this character, you know he's like 40-50 right?" and "how could anyone like this character, he's fat!" and "how could you like this character, he's a villain!" and so on so forth. Like, are you new here? I can only assume yes

[lemongrass77777-moved]

the fact that most of the people in this fandom don’t even seem to like the books😭if you didn’t enjoy canon why the fuck are you here. fandom is for nerds. this “fuck canon, canon doesn’t matter, well sirius and remus were ~straight~ in canon so i hate it!” shit is actively anti nerd. deeply annoying and also not even technically true.

I say this as an artist who has been trying to make artists friends for years, we really need to get better at finding community with other artists again, instead of sticking to one fandom and to stop interacting once they/you leave it.

Fandom friends are just that, they are fandom dependent and though not required to make them more than that, some of yall need to see that the option exists.

I still follow people that made amazing fanart for a fandom i left ages ago, but i still love to see what they are working on and supporting them on it.

Shit ill say it, ive followed artists that were still beginners at the time, just because i was curious to see how their style would develop. And it pays off, the amount of pride i feel to see people working on a skill and growing is fucking beautiful and profound to witness.

“Thats parasocial” DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF!!! THAT PERSON HAS 300 FOLLOWERS ITS NOT PARASOCIAL TO FEEL HAPPY FOR THEM THATS JUST KNOWING A PERSON AND LIKING THEM!!!!!

And if you want it to feel LESS parasocial ACTUALLY COMMENT!! i Know that sounds backwards but its better than you feeling that way and then lurking about it when the art only has like 3 notes. Girl what!!!!!!!! Say something!!!! You could have an art friend RIGHT NOW IF YOU JUST SAID SOMETHING

right now in my present state it FEELS like life is a sea of unpleasantness & awful emotions with islands of mundanity/fun/othersuch which are just a Temporary Escape, just like blindly ignoring the reality that the world is pain forever. and like surely its just the seasonal affective combo with specific circumstances combo with 5am and havent slept right? like i logically remember feeling otherwise i remember not feeling dismal but i cant feel it right now. is life actually good with pockets of bad? how can i feel like it? these arent rhetorical questions im asking

[tea-cat-arts]

I'm willing to at least hear out most of the "xyz plot point is heavily tied to abc cultural context" brands of posts but the "wwx isn't meant to be read as morally gray" and "the western fandom made up Sizhui being wangxian's son" brands of post make me feel like my cultural ignorance is being used to gaslight me

You ever struggle and fight to complete an illustration, only to end up hating it when you're done?

TW: Enraged only child. (Thanks for making me have to type this out, world! /nbh)

Y’know what?!

FUCK SIBLINGS!!!!!

Please reblog if:

You’re an only child who wishes they had a sibling

You cry yourself to sleep because you’ll never have siblings

You’re an only child who’s glad they don’t have siblings

You’re an only child, but feel really neutral about it, and don’t care (in that case, I’m happy for you.)

Please reblog if:

You’re an only child living in a big house

You’re an only child living below poverty line

You’re an only child living in a middle class household

You’re an only child with divorced parents

You’re an only child with a happy family

You’re an only child with only one parent

You’re an only child who was adopted

Please reblog if:

You’re a teen and an only child

You’re and adult and an only child

You’re an only child with a lot of friends

You’re an only child with no friends

You’re an only child with one best friend

Please reblog if:

You were born an only child

You have a deceased sibling

If your parents had some sort of health complications that made them unable to have another child

YOU GUYS ARE EPIC AND JUST AS WORTHY OF LOVE, IF NOT, NEED IT A LITTLE MORE THAN YOU THINK!!!

NOT ALL OF US ARE SPOILED OR HAVE IT EASY!!! THERE ARE MANY ONLY CHILDREN OUT THERE THAT HAVE HAD SOME FUCKING SHITTY CHILDHOODS!!!!

THIS HAS BEEN A PSA

(PS: Probably just posting this out of a sleepless rage, but lately I’ve just been reminding myself how much I distract myself from my problems and how others distract me, but at the end of the day, it’s never gonna stop me from hating myself for being conceived, so the least I can to is try to find people like me.)

(PSS: Anything I missed? Let me know!)
