#this is fucking rad tbh

Waking up from poverty brain and childhood trauma to realize that you're your own person and can do whatever you want.

If you’re an adult, do the stuff you couldn’t as a kid.

Like, me and my sister went to a museum, and they had an extra exhibit of butterflies. But it cost £3. So we sighed, walked past, then stopped. We each had £3. We could see the butterflies. And we did it was great. We followed it up with an ice-cream as well because Mum and Dad weren’t there to say no.

I was driving back from a work trip with 2 other people in their early 20s, and we drove past a MacDonalds. One of the others went “Aww man, I’d love a McFlurry.” And the guy driving pulled in to the drive through. It was wild. But it was great.

I went to a park over the weekend and I was thinking “Man, I’d love to hire one of those bikes and cycle round the park.” It took me a few minutes to go “Wait, I can hire one of those bikes!”

I guess what I’m saying is, those impulsive things you wanted to do as a kid - see the dinosaur exhibit, play in the fountains with the other kids, lie in the shade for 2 hours - you can do when you’re an adult. You have to deal with a whole lot of other bull, but at least you can indulge your inner 8 year-old.

Short DPXDC Prompts #1027

Flatland rules, with ghost cores. The more powerful the ghost the more sides there are to their core. An extremely powerful ghost has so many sides it resembles a sphere.

So uh. I'm developing some fantasy species/races....

Honestly - while I'm trying very hard to not have any expectations about the graphic novel, a friend and I were talking and now I kinda want it to be some sidestory of some random tactical team like in the Alkaline video just dealing with some cosmic horror sci fi shit inspired by all the TMBTE characters.

And the best comment of the night goes too....!!!

I'm sorry but Gojo is so fucking adorable to me. When he gets excited when he finds out Yuta is distantly related to him I be giggling and kicking my feet like he finally has a family member that is like him that he can stand. "YAY YUTA ^_^"

It was clear Gege originally planned to have Yuta be the protagonist but I prefer Yuji THEE TIGER Itadori. Having such a close tie to the main villain is much more compelling to me. I do love Yuta too, he's such a sweet kid. But Yuji just has that spunky charm that makes him sweet and super cool. Plus his design is more fun.

I'm dying my hair Sukuna pink soon. ^_^

Thinkin' thoughts in the tags, as usual.

⚠️trigger warning, violence mention⚠️

Thinking about the time I had an exclusionist reblog my post to tell me that queer people are dying, and then they proceeded to yell at me for being an mspec lesbian. 💀

They were unwittingly admitting that there are more important issues than somebody's identity, while trying to invalidate my identity lmfao. I suppose they thought it was some huge ‘gotcha’ moment, cuz ooh I'm so selfish for expressing my distress toward mspec lesbians such as myself being crucified for calling themselves lesbians, while people are facing REAL issues! Give me a break.

I know queer people face acts of violence, and mspec les/gays saying ‘hey guys, we'd like to be allowed labels and spaces too’ isn't in any way invalidating that. Exclusionists need to get over themselves.

Okay for srs though, is there a Firefox extension or whatever that makes it so the only things that show on my Tumblr are folks I *actually friggin’ follow*? Because I spent the past like hour and a half scrolling through to find cute stuff y’all do so I can reblog ‘em and my dashboard is like 85% random nonsense featuring 0 people I actually follow.

Srsly it drives me bonkers. I wanna engage with folks but not being able to actually SEE stuff is making it haaaaaaarrrrrrd

Ya know. I spent most of my life with horrible painful soul-crushing social anxiety.

And after about 25 years of continuous hard work, suddenly, people started pointing out - to my utter bafflement - that I had, in fact, achieved my lifelong dream of being charismatic. I'm 29 now; I feel comfortable in most social situations, and it is a very rare person whom I cannot make laugh.

I am, undoubtedly, finally, charismatic.

But do you know what I found?

I found that now that I have an understanding of which social rules serve which functions -- Now that I have an understanding of just how much damage my awkwardness was doing to people, well,

I found that, actually, my awkwardness never really hurt anyone at all. People were just judgmental dicks to me about it.

Now that I have the skill-level to (most of the time) creatively vocalize what is in my head as soon as I think it and without fear, I can confirm once and for all what I had always suspected:

I was worth talking to when I was quiet.

I was worth talking to when I was awkward, and when the words in my head took time and patience to hear, and when most of my jokes didn't land. I was worth talking to the whole time.

So I just... I hope that if you've ever wondered whether you are worth communicating with, the answer is yes. Absolutely yes. Each of us has a soul worth sharing - and if you and I were talking, I would happily wait for you to speak (or communicate in other ways) without condescending, and I would never shame you for that harmless awkwardness that so many people feel the need to violently stomp out.

You are worth talking to. You just are. And you deserve people who will speak to you with kindness, with patience, and with the basic immutable respect owed to all people.

(I talk about this with some frequency, both on tumblr and in real life. At some point, maybe I'll gather all my thoughts on the matter into one post. At some point, I wrote about my personal experience trying to build my social skill. But I felt the need to say at least a little bit tonight after seeing this other lovely post, and I'm glad I did. It will happen again.)

I try not to hype up anything I do, but my brain is abuzz. abuzzy bee. Got given a gift card for a crappy clothing store (thankful, but I mean, hard to find good items), so I finally bit the bullet and ordered a denim jacket. Now begins the slow process of bleaching, dying, and decorating. Finally going to live out my very simple dream of having a cool denim jacket

[courtjestersanonymous]

Alright THATS IT you know what? I AM gonna be loved the rest of my life and you wanna know why? Because I love MYSELF and I’m deciding that’s enough rn that’s it that’s all

[orcelito]

oh i also talked a lot about fire emblem today. specifically whether i was planning to buy Engage or not. verdict is: Probably, considering reviews say the tactics gameplay is really rich & that's like 80% of why i enjoy playing fire emblem. so yes i am not a fan of the character designs. but i will probably buy it. at some point.

i went to gamestop after work to see if i could find it but didnt see it and INSTEAD i saw 2 games for relatively cheap. so i got those instead.
