#to embrace myself to be proud of myself

[yourlocalguardian]

Yknow I know lot of people think the young therians mainly on tiktok who make masks and do a lot of quadrobics and wear their gear in public are cringe but like. As a bit older kinnie I remember how strong my instincts were when I was that age, how often and how strongly I had mental shifts, and the mental torture I went through my whole young life before I found out that there were other people like me because I felt like I was some sort of freak and didnt understand why I couldn’t just stop feeling the ways I did

Even if you think it’s cringe I know if I had had that community and that ability to engage with my creature-self at that age I would have felt so much better in myself, I wouldn’t have had the deep set self hatred I did for many years, and I think that’s extremely important. It’s extremely important that we don’t let the young members of our community experience that same pain that I and I’m sure others like me have felt

Also friendly reminder too that cringe culture is fucking stupid, if you’re not hurting yourself or anyone else you shouldn’t be shunned for doing what makes you happy. And that means you, person reading this, shouldn’t be the one to make them feel like they should be ashamed. If you feel like it’s cringe keep that to yourself and maybe do some self reflection on why you would think people doing a harmless activity that makes them happy would somehow be wrong. Cringing is a reflex, but that doesn’t mean you have to act upon it.

Additionally if you’re one of those people that’s against them because “they’re making us look bad”/“people won’t take us seriously because of them”. If people won’t accept us in the full extent of who we are then they would never be accepting of us in the first place. Acception when only in a watered down form is not true acception at all.

Look at this Block Tales art! It's cool trust

He has a really good track (not as good as solitude in my opinion)

turning your ocs into mlp characters is maybe the most awesome activity in the world

been trying out a new writing technique recently and it's called chilling tf out and reminding myself that fic is written for fun.

I am the Eggman Empire's strongest soldier for real. who else puts this many hours analyzing in depth like it's my job and puts entire days into researching and making analysis posts so ridiculously long and in depth not because they need to be to make and prove my point as I could just show the evidence and be done but I'm just genuinely that passionate about him and want to

only to post it and get a buncha people calling me a terrible person telling me to kill myself for being so passionate in a way they can't agree with- but I just continue to do what I do because I love him so much and am kind of fucking insane lol. but I have a big heart for the things I'm passionate about and my determination to express it against all odds is unshakable!!!!! and the support from those that can see everything I do is out of love not hate, I appreciate y'all a lot 💜

i lost the post but i saw someone talking about how some of y’all act like being weird is a choice and like. YEAHHHHHHH.

that’s fine, it might be for you. but i just live like this and don’t know any other way. like yeah i’ve worked customer service, i can do innocuous small talk, but anything beyond that, i don’t understand what i’m missing. and it’s frustrating to see the tonal disconnect especially from people who are like “uwu embrace weirdness!!” where they’re like. dressing quirky and talking about bugs and listening to obscure music and eschewing small talk to ask Deep Questions on the first date and unlearning their tendency to not infodump. and generally have an idea of what Weirdness is supposed to look like. idk man some of us wake up and get out of bed and can’t figure out why the rest of their coworkers chitchat with each other but when they join the conversation it dies.

weirdness is value neutral. let’s stop trying to turn it into a badge because quite frankly, it’s not a choice for everyone. it’s fucking exhausting to never be on the same wavelength as other people and they’re going to react the way they do and label you the way they will without any conscious actions on your end. it’s difficult to talk about this without feeling like you’ll be dismissed as immature, a teenager whining “no one understands me” but the thing is. sometimes you don’t grow out of feeling alone and different, and there’s no good way to talk about it without feeling like people will think you’re just fishing for pity.

A woman at work asked if the packages I were carrying were heavy, and considering I was pretty easily balancing all 3 in one hand, I said no, but she took the larger one with both hands and said “oh, this one is heavy!” And I blinked at her in befuddlement and then assured her the other two were very light and I’d trade with her. I was thinking afterwards “wow, I know she was slim and barely 5 feet but I could barely tell there was anything in them” then I remembered when I was home earlier in the month and my family kept commenting on my arms and my mom was struggling with a huge bag of dog food so I took it and threw it on my shoulder and climbed the stairs and she told me I’m getting too buff…

as I'm going back over my past history and items and journals and years, I come across all sorts of things, like the pencil I saved from that so-precious memory from second grade, and a pair of flip flops I've been missing for two years, and [checks notes] the modern-high-school-AU-kidnapped-by-a-serial-killer story I wrote in late high school jdfsjdfsjkjlksfd

that's what i call CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT ✨

transfem furries hornyposting online about the relatively niche/"out there" things they're into have inadvertently helped me accept myself more than the body positivity movement of the 2010s ever did

[therapythoughtstogether]

Finally embracing myself for who I am

💖💜💙

Bi woman and proud! 🌈💫

i love being alive and living in the world as a trans masculine person it’s so fun and everyone including the trans community definitely doesn’t either want me dead or think i’m simultaneously receiving male privilege and am basically a girl :)

I went to Anime Expo 2013 (I think) cosplayed as Twitter and Tumblr with a friend and I wore fandom pins, a list of my favorite ships, the tumblr logo, and a dash blue shirt 🤢 who was I and how can i erase that memory from my mind

“fandom” is such a dirty disgusting word whenever i say it i feel like i have a mouth full of toxic slutch.
