i replaced two of the poster designs from my business cards zines and then made stickers from the designs, also of the bunny from my new year painting because they're a cutie and deserve to be a sticker

#goodnight#if youre reading this please take care of yourself and keep doing your best. there will be people who will always tear you down but#you dont deserve it. you're doing your best#and you cant always do your best. you'll need rest. and to feel bad#and to wallow and feel negative#have that time and come back stronger

Rest is not an indulgence or a reward. It is a basic necessity.
#rest#give yourself permission#give yourself permission to rest#self care#self care is not selfish#self care is not an indulgence#burnout#compassion fatigue#activism fatigue#doing your best#no guilt#no shame#in this house we don't do guilt#mental health#basic needs#take care of yourself#make yourself a priority#be good to yourself#you matter#you are enough#you are worthy#healing#recovery#self compassion#self respect#self love

band au rahhhhhhhhhhh
#i wanted to draw the other guardians too but this would be a good start#ok so#tsuna starts his band. yamamoto bass and gokudera keys and tsuna suprisingly drummer and also lead vocal. reborn appears out of nowhere-#being “youre not your full potential so i will drain you till youre like a fish in a dehydrator until you become the best out there.”#thats about it#but i just like how drumming singers are like extremely good music people because drumming is already hard. and singing too???#absolutely insane i might say. tsuna would do this (bc reborn told him so)#he does not want to be the best but reborn exists in the paro for a reason#reborn is like maybe a famous musician who faked his death then did whatever he wanted to do while he was “alive”. then he got tsuna as his#apprentice and so so. oh yeah also whiplash (the movie) reference bc holy shit its so good. for me at least. and reborn would make tsuna go#that kind of crazy. like training until drenched in sweat from morning to night or whenever hes available. bc he knows he has potential#he just need someone to push him beyond his expected limit#btw 8059 implied#gokudera joined the band first bc yeah then comes yamamoto for fun as he had to rest from playing baseball a bit too enthusiastic#gokudera hated him so much for like being dumb??? (the goofy ah laugh) but then the two dated even before reborn made a move on tsuna#its very funny but they work it out#i was also thinking if the band ever do solos or do something not as the whole band 8059 will have their own album. itll be great#for genre im not sure?? lets just say alt rock electrojazz????#no idea but maybe ill make a playlist. maybe#sawada tsunayoshi#reborn#yamamoto takeshi#gokudera hayato#8059#r27

Thank you for writing the (messy but neccessary) farcille breakdown. You handled it so wonderfully aaaaaaaah!! Like the other anon I was wondering how far "rock bottom" could get (because chapter 4 already felt pretty rock bottom) but. Yeah. That's pretty rock bottom, huh. The tragedy of loving someone but the other person not understanding <- this applies to both of them.
I think it was really neat how you flipped the question on who's reaching out to who with the academy flashback and the final scene with Namari, because... Marcille clinging onto Falin really is just a reversal of their academy days, isn't it? To everyone who met them after they reunited, it was always Marcille chasing after Falin, but to those who were at the magic academy, it was Falin chasing after Marcille. From picking flowers and berries to eat together, inviting Marcille out to see a play, and generally monopolizing her free time... I'm sure any of them would say the same thing as Namari, but in reverse. No wonder everyone thinks Marcille is just another friend to Falin. They weren't there to witness her pining /j. Idk!! I was rereading the chapter and the academy flashback girl was like "why do you hang off of Marcille so much" and I screamed to myself, "hey wait. HEY WAIT."
#asks#a little creature#im SO glad you pointed out how falin was the first to pine and chase but was discouraged#its a very very important part#i think a really common wlw experience is to internalize that first rejection forever#whether it came from the object of your affections or an outside observer#the first time you encounter disgust for what felt like just happiness and affection#it stays with you. it can turn into a cage for the rest of your life but what you dont realize is that#at some point youre strong enough to open the door for yourself and you have to be able to do it#ironically ive only been the perpetrator of this platonically#pushing away my friends and hurting them bc i didnt think that i mattered enough to affect them#romantically ive been mostly on the other end just begging a girl to meet me in the middle at the very least#because even if they feel intensely as i do its not fun to chase and chase and get nothing bc someone else in their past was cruel#so it dhsjjd shows up in my writing a lot#self loathing as a queer experience is almost universal. but are you able to stand up and grow beyond it? because you need to.#staying locked in your own head and never looking outwards is just another kind of selfishness#i dont always try to do it but lmao my writing almost always touches on this at least a little bit in various degrees as like#maybe my best attempt at a compassionate way of portraying this self-erasure as a kind of selfishness that needs to be addressed

thinking about post-war!Keigo where everything remains the same. Except his wings don't grow back. Everything repairs itself, everything changes back gradually to what it was before but his wings remain the same. Don't remain, rather. It's funny how slow he is, still not adjusted to all of this, given the very purpose of his existence lies in his ability to be fast. Doesn't matter that the reason for his speed is non-existent now. He's a hero, right? Heroes don't cry.
Heroes don't sob over their now-gone cause of existence.
Heroes don't just randomly forget they lost their wings one night, too busy staring at their lover's back with lost, blank eyes. Unaware of his woefully blank amber eyes, you lay beside him in his bed, which feels uncomfortably large now. Another form of failure that hurt his eyes if he didn't already have enough tears streaming down his ugly, scarred face silently, every time he had to begrudgingly look at himself in the mirror. Your attempts and pleas at spooning him tonight were hushed by his silent gaze. Please let me be useful, they pleaded. You gave up. Now gathered in his arms, both of you felt safe.
So safe that he forgot his empty back for a second. As instinct would have it, his back muscles flexed to move his wings to wrap around you. Closed amber eyes and a fuzzy head full of comfort hampered his worries and woes. His mind was too far gone in your soft to register the fact that he had been trying to do this for quite some time now. Unsuccessful attempts forced him to come back to reality. Body writhing, his eyes opened suddenly, wide and full of shock. His hands froze. Keigo slowly comprehended his actions. His eyes felt wet. Awoken by his movements, your body shifted in a frenzy as you turned to face him, eyes open but vision foggy from residual sleep. Out of pure instinct, you cupped his tear-stricken face as you tried hard to understand what the fuck was going on, the best your foggy mind could. His posture and expression worsened.
"Kei', honey, you okay? Kei', talk to me. Wh-" He fell to your chest hard. And bawled like a fucking child. Fists gripped the fabric of your shirt as he sobbed and cried, for god knows how long. You held him with equal force and gently rocked his body, despite a slight understanding of his sudden breakdown. To an extent, you were aware it was because of his wings, with the way he clutched your backside and felt it like it was his own. Whispering soft coos and sweet nothings into his hair continued for a while and near screaming and sobbing turned into silent cries. Eventually, he calmed down. Sensing his discomfort and heavy breathing, you combed your hands gently through his blond locks.
"I love you Kei', you know that right?" No response. Just faint nodding. You suppose that would do for now. uhh hey there V! Call me Rakuyou. This is my first time writing something like this. I've always admired people like you who can express their feelings in words so seamlessly and perfectly. I find Hawks' character quite admirable and well-written, and I most definitely don't gush over the boy every fucking moment. And as for this piece, I'd love to know some tips to write him well and some writing tips that you may wanna share. This might be a Wattpad-level fic at best, but I gave my best. Lemme know your thoughts on this one. I love Keigo and your work!
-Love, Rakuyou. (Crawls into a black hole and dies.)
I ... I do not have words for this. This knocked on my heart like it was a door and said "actually nevermind I'm coming in anyway" and smashed it to pieces on the way in.
#putting the rest of this in the tags to let your drabble speak for itself#but this is so good it feels so visceral. need to comfort this man. jesus.#WHAT DO YOU MEAN WATTPAD AT BEST IM SHAKING YOU !!!!!#also omg thank u for the kind words at the end that means sooooo much to me#my tip for you is never stop cooking cuz im eating this#💌 asks#💞

Ever since making my human Shockwave design, both my original one and this one, I've been thinking of what arm he would have because even if you have access to a cannon arm as a human it's logical to have a functional arm prosthetic maybe idk-
An extra ever since after reading @nukeli 's SG Shockwave fic I've also been thinking of human Shockwave having a donor arm like what happens in the oneshot, it being mismatched because though demand is high supply is very very low and replacement body parts don't last-
#shockwave#tfp shockwave#shattered glass#tfp shattered glass#transformers#tfp#humanformers#maccadam#fanart#i realised with making this design for shockwave i would need to draw out his teeth everytime#i mean i would have had to do the same with the previous design for shockwave but ya know#others have gone with either robotic emulation of shockwave for humans designs#or gone the more intense torture aftermath that would remove teeth out of the equation or at least have the option of hiding it behind lips#eh whatever i tried to cartoon teeth my way out of this one#anyway check out nukeli's fics i do mostly only spotlight tfp ones since that's what i know best aside from animated#but they have other transformers fics like g1 and stuff if that strikes your fancy i'm not fully aware of those continuities tho#but this fic in particular is about shattered glass shockwave after the explosion and before the show- before predaking too#it does make me think how insecticons (the beastformer ones not the experiment kind) would translate to humans#i guess i'd have to consider what beastformers are like in humanformers because they're just as much bots as the rest of the cars and jets#eh probably keeping in context with the fic (which you should read i'm sending you a link directly to read it go read it now)#they'd be a settlement dealing with the general fallout of a large scale wall which also means wandering animals and potentially#the threat of danger lingering on the outsides of safe territory#which would cause someone to potentially die and thus potentially serve as a donor for a special someone's missing limb#read it read it read it#thistle don’t look#i don’t know where the scale of human these teeth are so…

i love being autistic cause sometimes i get a glimpse into how regular people perceive things and its like. what the fuck. what the fuck is that? you live like this? and its normal?? i think YOURE the weird one actually. im fine. thanks though.
#THERES SO MANY WEIRD RULES#LIKE WHAT DO YOU MEAN PEOPLE PAY ATTENTION TO HOW SOMEONE WALKS LIKE HUH????? WHY????????????#can someone fucking explain the dude head nod thing to me why do we do that. whats that about. ive never seen anyone do that irl before#is that an american thing or do i just hang around too many afab people#i am learning the intricacies of cis people gender rules and i am. what fucking planet have i been on the last 17 years like what is this#was there some like. rulebook they handed out at somepoint they forgot to give to me or something#“best way to learn is to observe the men around you” OBSERVE WHAT. YOU PEOPLE PAY THAT MUCH ATTENTION TO EVERY LITTLE MOVEMENT????#bruh i can barely make eye contact w people...#my ass has never intentionally copied someones mannerisms ever.#i do it subconsciously. but doing it actively feels weird and wrong and like im breaking someones boundaries#“men dont smile at people.” well they should.#ive decided cishet men are the most boring people on the planet#“dont move with your hands” YOURE BREAKING MY POOR THEATER KID HEART#i need to meet more gay men irl to absorb the vibe of cause i only know like two. not counting myself#i want people to look at me and go. ah yes. fruit.#at this point im just going to accept being misgendered for the rest of eternity. id rather die than be boring in the way cishet men are#my flavor of being trans is so influenced by my autism cause my perception of genders is completely off from what everyone else is doing#im like. yeah i want to be a man. and then i look at what the majority of men are actually like and its like. wait no. not like that#shoutout to flamboyant gay men where would i be without them#i think the thing that bothers me the most is that like#in my mind peoples genders are just. the way they express themselves.#its not like. this super big complex deal like how everyone else treats it. if that makes sense? like.#regular people have so many rules for what counts as a man or what counts as a woman or what counts as neither and its like???#you can do what you want???? why do we care????#and ive been doing this since i was little. on account of the autism#i just. dont get why its such a big deal to people.#i cant wrap my head around it at all#not nonbinary not a girl not aegender not a man but a secret fourth thing#(man but i do it my way instead of everyone elses way)#unfortunately doing it my way just. leads to the misgendering dimension. for some reason

hey @clickergossip and @becomethesun im thinking about how my preschoolers had a valentines day dance where we had parents come and dance with us to songs that the kids chose. also thinking about how how toddler sarah and ellie would definitely choose the BEST songs
the other kids are choosing songs like let it go, we dont talk about bruno, and pup pup boogie from paw patrol. meanwhile ellie chooses “we belong together” by mariah and sarah’s chooses “at your best (you are love)” by aaliyah
#maybe nobody shows up for ellie because marlene has to work#and so while every kid is dancing and having fun with their parents for the first song joel and sarah notice ellie is alone#and sarah is like daddy can we dance with my best friend no one is dancing with her#and so joel spends the rest of the dance with one in each arm#slow dances with them to aliyah and maria and does a little daddy daughter jig to upbest songs#tommy is there too but as a volunteer because he’s tryna spend as MUCH time at that school as he can#to spend time with a certain preschool teacher with pretty curly locs#so hes serving food and watching ms. maria have fun with the kids and talk with parents and play with the babies that are little siblings#during at your best you are love everyone is slow dancing with their families and not eating#so she comes over and is like ‘take those gloves off and dance with me cowboy’#he drops those tongs so fast and almost knocks over the tray of tamales he and joel brought#they dance over by the paint wall where the parents and kids dont see ;)#i really need to stop doing this in the tags#preschool au#toddler sarah#toddler ellie#tlou au#tlou#joel miller#tommy miller#sarah miller#ellie williams#girldad joel#the millers#maria miller

thank you anon!!
#anon I'd like to think you were coming from the best of places bc you said “beloved moots” but#on a serious note. what on earth was i supposed to answer to that. like ok i think i understand what you mean but#i don't think there was absolutely any need to tell me that?#it's okay if it's not your thing. as you've seen it's not something I personally execute. however 99% of his fanart fits your interests#this could've been a “I love the way you draw him” (still gets your point and it saves us a discussion)#<- surely you could've worded that with your own personal wording but you understand what I mean yes?#also i do appreciate the enthusiastic support. just. y'know. not sure what you expected me to reply to the rest of it#ask

Finishing atla and once again becoming absolutely livid with the out of nowhere, literal deus ex machina bending-bending ability because why have your protagonist face his achilles heel and overcome his original sin in order to grow and save the day when you can hand everything to him on a lion turtle platter 🙃🙃🙃
#anti bryke#atla critical#like seriously fuck the finale and fuck bryke#you had the damn spirit library WHY THE FUCK DIDNT YOU FORESHADOW THAT SHIT#MAKE AANG WORK FOR HIS DAMN HAPPY ENDING LIKE THE REST OF THE CAST#STOP INDULGING HIS FUCKING FLAWS BC YOURE LIVING VICARIOUSLY THROUGH HIM YOURE IN YOUR FUCKING 30S#probably. i dont care enough to look up their ages#also outside of the bending bending the greatest sin is having azula's final moments on screen being her mental breakdown#iirc its bc the 4th book was scrapped in favor of the Shyamalan movie#gr8 choice m8s#seriously why the fuck would you leave so many stories incomplete in favor of live action bullshit?#stop doing live action for shit that should never be live action#some things are best left animated#esp shit that would need so much cgi its half animated anyway

I wish all jujutsu kaisen fans a very media literacy and manga reread
#Shut up shut up the ending makes sense just take ur time to read and ponder it doesn't have to be explicitly held held explained to u#I won't insist that my every interpretation is 100% correct but thr beauty of story is it can mean what it needs to for readers as individua#I'm so content with the way that it ended bc yeah I have read and spun theories and reread it until it made sense#I didn't understand much the first time it always takes several reads and translations notes help a lot too#But there IS a lot of information there if you're open to finding it#Gege is rly thr best it's so unfortunate#Jujutsu kaisen fans can't read#Like are we even fans if we talk shit on the author?? I don't think you are but why read just to hate it??#Jjk ending#Jjk manga#Gege did nothing wrong#Rant#Vent#jujutsu kaisen#jjk fandom#There are things I'd never understand on my own but lovely readers do research and share what they learn about historical culture language#Context etc and idk I also get that it's hard to sort through. The majority of takes are easily debunked. But if you just. If you just read#The manga several times.... It gets better and more intense and sensical and emotional every time...#Sigh#Sorry I'm sleep deprived and sick of all the gege hate on my fyp!#It never ends I never interact I hide those posts but they still show#Which means I follow a closet hater or the algorithm sucks ass#Probably#Gege akutami#I owe u my life#This last year has been rly hard and idk how I would've survived without your work#I hope u have a good rest and recreational period for as long as u want to

#I am trying desperately to keep up with the race of assignments!!#I want to put more effort into them but I Can Only Do So Much#as my mother always said:#you can always do the best you can in any given moment. And sometimes your best isn't a lot. But it is enough that you tried#(paraphrased because she said it in a different language)#I am so glad she recognized that I was a massive perfectionist as a child and would destroy myself for a perfect score#and she taught me how to balance needs and let go when I needed to#which I am still not great at but I'm learning#I'm learning#on that note I do need to rest my eyes and recharge my laptop#toodaloo!

RiAAU Sasha's complicated relationship with her adoptive parents, Percy and Braddock, stems from an awkward mixture of unconditional love, resentment over their inability to protect her from Grime in her childhood, and their fear of what she's become.
#raised in amphibia au#amphibia#sasha waybright#my posts#they sort it out but it takes time#percy and braddock have loved sasha since she was brought to the Tower all dirty and crying and scared at the tender age of 3#and they did their best but also... they were very young themselves. like early 20s maybe#hell they weren't even together by the time they adopted her#they were just friends who saw this kid in need of parents and legal guardians and decided to take care of her#but with Grime being their superior and Sasha being forced to grow up in the Tower...#Percy and Braddock had to do compulsory military service for like. 15 years or something idk. this is my made up toad lore: toads have to do#at least 15 years of military service in their youth. like not all of them. there's probably like some sort of lottery and if you're#disabled or had a family that depended on you or if your daddy is a corrupt politician or something you'll be spared#the rest can either follow the law and be assigned to the closest tower or like. become a runaway criminal and join a group of bandits#or something#anyway percy and braddock had to do their time in the South Toad Tower so they couldn't just leave with their kid#and raise her in a more child-friendly enviroment#another point of contention! when sasha learns there's another human who was raised in a quaint little farm by frogs in wartwood she just#it's devastating to her because *that could have been her*. she could have been safe and she could have grown up like a normal kid#she could have developed like a normal person instead of becoming... *this*#and she resents Percy and Braddock for not giving her away to someone else when she was little. for not noticing when she started#acting ''abnormal'' as a result of trauma. she could have been normal like Anne. but she wasn't.#pair that to the fact Sasha is the one who remembers Earth the most and the one who wants to go back the most#AND the one who feels the most distant to her adoptive family#and the understanding that she's been *broken into* this world and that she can never go back. even if she finds a way... she can't go back.#she can't bring her REAL parents this monster#she can't explain what happened to her#and even if she went back Amphibia would alwahs haunt her#so. she can't go back. not like this.

I'm trying to play through FF16 but it's honestly such a struggle for me. The combat isn't my sort of thing, and I feel like everyone talks at like... half the speed of normal dialogue so I just lose interest in every single cutscene.
#i'm like 8 hours in#i think i've been bored the whole time#benedikta's backstory had (missed) potential#but i hate how so much context is in the stupid ATL thing#as though the slow cutscenes need more interruption#also why is clive's head so small compared to the rest of his body it's like less than a third of his total shoulder width#and why does his outfit look like it was designed for a different setting than everyone else's? i miss his soldier armour so much#also all the sidequests are terrible#i don't want to spend 3 minutes listening to someone's life story because i gave them soup#maybe if they spoke at a normal pace#also the whole got inspiration is clearly just nudity and swearing and rapey implications from bandits#it's like they wanted to be more 'mature' but just added all of that and it moved back round to 'immature'#eikon fights aren't even good you just mash buttons until they're staggered#throw out all your special abilities#and then wait until a cutscene happens and you do more damage with a single QTE than anything you do in combat#but you can't even watch the action because there's stupid pulsing overlays while you mash square#gav is the best character#also the voice acting is good (i question some of the voice direction) but considering they lipsynced for english first...#i don't buy any of these voices are coming out of any characters mouths#also ifrit's design sucks he's just a featureless rock thing#rant
