#virtual hugs for everyone

[thegreenishhues]

Positivity poll :D

Send a hug to Tumblr in general by voting and feel free to @ people in reblogs for an specific hug :)

This is a silly idea but we need a bit of positivity in the community right now (we have been going through it recently). Anyway virtual hugs to everyone and remember to take care of yourselves, take a walk, go outside, talk to friends, and do what you need to clear your head. You've got this <3

i feel like some of us on tumblr are the mf who was bullied, glowed up, and is now a hot commodity in their community but still suffers from the long term effects of bullying occasionally. love that for us <3

I’m 1 follower away from 100 followers! Now, I’m already planning to do another q&a. I think I already mentioned it in a previous post, but I have the old q&a list from my 50 followers q&a, and swapped out any of the already answered questions or ones I mentioned in posts so far with new questions. But whilst I am already working on a fanart for my upcoming Neptunia RP blog, I am still debating whether I should spoil you all with another fanart poll in the way I did the Cat Event on top of the q&a. What do you all think?

You know what line is spoken so casually but breaks my heart every. single. freaking. time?

Lucy: She's in pain...

Lockwood: Of course she is, she's dead.

Lockwood believes that any afterlife ghosts (and possibly all people) experience is agony. From this simple line, we see into his mind and find that he thinks his parents, his sister, any agents or friend or anyone else he's lost- he thinks they're suffering.

...as someone who's lost a close relative recently, I can't imagine how hard it would be to grieve properly and healthily if I believed that they were hurting. My grandpa was in a lot of pain before he passed away, but now that he's on the other side (the true other side, not the limbo we see ghosts trapped in), I know he's at peace. I personally believe he's in heaven, the literal best place anyone could ever be, and that thought, that knowledge, brings me so much comfort.

No wonder Lockwood has such a hard time letting go, he must think that holding onto his family's memory is the only way he can make their supposed suffering somehow worth it.

To anyone who's in the same boat as him, I just want you to know it's okay to let them go. They're okay now. Holding onto what they went through in life or right before their life ended is not going to help them, it's only hurting you. It's hard to let yourself grieve and harder to let yourself heal but I promise it's worth it. We saw Lockwood do it with the help of his new friends and family and I know you and I can do it too.

Last drawing of the night, I'm actually so fckin happy with this one THEY LOOK SO CUTE, its so rare for me to like something I make. I did use this ref off of Pinterest, and the second I saw it I was like "oh thats NiktoKrueger.." and just HAD to draw them (ref + credits & thank yous below the cut♥️)

Even tho I drew everything myself I still feel weird like... Not Crediting my inspos... Cause if it were not for them I probably wouldn't of started this account or started drawing & writing again. My designs for them are like a mix between (not tagging them because idk if they like that and I don't wanna bother them and fill up their notifs anymore than they probably are. But you should absolutely go check them out pls they make content 1000% better than mine) @/cerosin-bis's and @/unhingedpolycule's designs, and I draw a lot of inspo from them in general because their artstyles and the way they portray not just NK but any cod characters or non-cod characters is just sooo good. This community is so talented in general, everyone inspires me in little ways, and I've been having sm fun interacting with content and posting it on here, and the ppl are so nice. Thank you to everyone who inspires me and sticks around to see what I make ^w^ it means more than you realize♥️

I’ve come to figure out that selective mutism is actually not excruciatingly awful to experience as long as the people around you are normal about it

like

oh you need to block out the sounds around you and just chill for a while? cool man you do that. you want to still be in the conversation? alright you can just nod your head or sign or write down your thoughts it’s okay we’ll give you time. you need to go sit in the corner or step outside? that’s fine, come back when you feel better

you need comfort? you need space? you need me to talk for you? you need me to let you communicate in your own way? you need silence? you need to be in a less overstimulating environment? you need more attention? you need less attention?

that is fine and I love you and I understand you.

Tease Tidbit Tuesday

Trying to avoid extended family drama (that has nothing to do with me or my little fam so leave us alone! 🤪) like the plague atm. Feeling emotionally drained most days but I’ve still managed to make progress in some of my WIPs which makes me happy, because writing about Buddie makes me happy (and frustrated at times when the words aren’t wording haha).

I’ve finally taken the plunge and dived into The Well Incident (not just the aftermath of it) from Rival Firefighters 🚒. Here’s a little snippet from before shit goes down.

Prev snippet here

News vans began to roll up (Buck had spotted a familiar head of red hair that he quickly avoided) and along with them came the rain. At first it was a light pitter patter but it soon turned torrential, gusts of wind blowing harshly making an already complicated rescue even more dangerous and fragile.

A radio was sent down to Hayden and they were able to make audio contact, Eddie being the one to talk to Hayden and let him know help was on the way and to try and stay calm. Then next thing Buck knows, Eddie is harnessing up to get lowered down and something uneasy swirls to life in Buck’s gut.

“You know you don’t have to be the one to go down there.” Buck muses as he checks Eddie’s harness is secure.

“I’m the one that was talking to Hayden on the radio, he knows my voice, so he’s more likely to trust me and follow my directions.”

“I know that Eds, but I just–,” he sighs and looks out into the distance where a flash of lightning shoots across the darkened sky, “I’ve got a bad feeling about this.”

“Buck,” Eddie gently grips Buck's shoulder, his thumb finding a familiar resting spot on Buck's collarbone, “I need to do this.”

Their eyes lock in a silent exchange, Eddie's face pleading for Buck to understand. And he does - he does - but he can’t shake the feeling that something bad is going to happen.

“Okay.” Buck agrees reluctantly. Even though he’s feeling uneasy about this rescue, about Eddie going down into the earth, he’ll support his partner. “I’ve got your back.”

“Then I’m in the best hands.” Eddie squeezes Buck’s shoulder and then he’s stepping away to get hooked up to the rope at the entrance of the hole he’ll be lowered down into.

10, 22 & 37 for the writers ask game :D

hihihi hehehehehe

link to the ask game

10: Do you set yourself deadlines?

Not really. With the ADHD and autism, deadlines just stress me out and make me not wanna do it haha. I have to follow my distracted af heart wherever it leads haha.

22: Who is/are your favourite pairing(s) to write?

EEEEEEEEEEEE well I LOVE chreon. Chris and Leon are my favorite resident evil characters and I also have the easiest time writing them out of any characters I have ever written. But mostly Chris hehehehe

37: First sentence or your current WIP

okay so I have a few WIPs I'm working on so I will do the one that no one knows about yet hehe (except @leon-thot-kennedy cuz she helped write it):

Chris forced his eyes open, blinking as he took a choked breath. He raised his gun, shooting the crimson-skinned licker in the head twice. The BOW fell to the ground next to him with a wet squelch, screeching one last cry before falling silent. He hadn’t seen it coming. 

(maybe it's more than one sentence but whatever haha)

This is so deeply and violently upsetting. There's so much I wanna say and I'm so overwhelmed with anger and sadness right now but really. I just want to say I'm thinking of all of you right now. Everyone in conservative states. Every queer and trans person. Every person of color. Every woman. Everyone not in the US that still had so much at stake tonight. Every minor that felt powerless today. I love you all so so much. I feel so bad and shitty right now and I know you do too but I love you so much and we have to stay here and we have to be fucking resilient.

[roguespeedster]

trying to put into words how I'm feeling right now while running on 1.5 hours of sleep and knowing I have to go to work in a few hours and the one that keeps coming to mind is aghast. Aghast that, nine years in, there are still so many people flocking to and voting for that pustule. Aghast that one of them is my own father, who seems to care not for the rights of his three daughters. Aghast that my little sister was so excited to vote for the first time and this is the result. Aghast that so many people around the country and abroad are going to be the ones paying for this result. Just ... aghast and nauseous and repulsed and numb and hurting hurting hurting

Jotaro’s character arc over the events of Stardust Crusaders to Stone Ocean is just really powerful and I can’t stop thinking about it. 

Our first introduction to Jotaro revealed a bratty teen who frequently called his mom a bitch along with any other woman who mildly annoyed him. He adopted the brash, tough guy persona of a delinquent because he didn’t understand how to express himself, operating under the assumption that those around him should just get what he’s feeling. In spite of his cool exterior he was a bit of a hot head who preferred to solve problems with his fists than with his words. But all of this was ultimately a facade, a persona he adopted as a defense mechanism, because ultimately, if you remain unattached people can’t disappoint you. If you play your cards close to your chest people can’t hurt you. If you act aloof then you never really lose anything when things go south. 

We got to see him mature during the events of Diamond is Unbreakable. This is a man who’s learned that he can no longer afford to shoot first and ask questions later. He’s not only a father but takes on a protective role while helping the townspeople in Morioh. This is a man who has responsibilities and people to care about beyond himself. This is a man who’s learned the value in caution, patience, and observation. This is a man who has experienced the loss of a loved one. He truly understands what’s at stake and the risks involved in every encounter and acts accordingly.

And yet, in spite of all of this growth, Jotaro was still a deeply flawed individual by the events of Stone Ocean. He was a hero but he struggled to maintain personal relationships. He was dedicated to his work but neglected his daughter, and while this may have been done with the good intention of protecting her, it still resulted in harm. He was far from perfect but honestly, like every JoJo, that’s what made him interesting. 

He didn’t get to experience an end with all of his t’s crossed and his i’s dotted. He never got a clear reconciliation with Jolyne. While she did come to understand his motives over time, they never got the time they truly needed to get a fresh start. Understanding is one thing, but understanding without addressing underlying issues is like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound. The characters in Stone Ocean didn’t get a perfect ending wrapped up in a pretty little bow, and yet, in spite of how much it hurts it feels right. Much like in real life, sometimes things end with words left unsaid. Sometimes we die with our regrets, with our would haves and should haves while the world marches on.
