Really diggin' the silmarillion-blogging in the tags lately! A precarious crown upon the most excellent frog vibes

Then you may also enjoy Uroplatus fangorn, a species of leaf-tailed gecko we described a few years ago.

Love spending at least an hour every week dissociating in the mirror painting my face with eyeshadow into avant garde makeup looks. It's pretty much free therapy.

#ive managed to get jons eyes down #i did a spider web type thing today #ive done some nebula from gotg stuff before #i want to do a michael crew or jane prentiss one #i did a biblical angel one #i was so proud of it #its so satisfying #and its really cool turning into a whole different person/creature #tma #the magnus archives #jonathan sims #makeup #makeup art designs #therapy #free therapy

In 7th grade we had to do a creative writing story at the end of the year in which we had FULL creative freedom and no word limit. I went all out and I spent every waking hour writing the plot line and fleshing out the characters. By the time I finished, it was a MONTH late but I had the best damn story in the class. I told my teacher I finally finished it, and halfway through reading it he told me it was the best piece of writing he’d ever seen from one of his students and if he didn’t know I had written it, he’d have thought it was by an adult. He gave me an A+ and no late penalty. I asked him to update me when he finished it because I wanted to know his final thoughts and he never did. Every day I think about how he will never know I killed off the main character at the end.

#also the entire story was CHOCK FULL of foreshadowing #I was so proud of it

Sometimes I doubt my writing ability and then I remember that when I was a kid I wrote a musical for my group of friends to perform. What was the plot, you may be wondering?

Well.

It followed the misadventures of a father trying to organise a family holiday, failing miserably at every step. It’s most notable scene was one in which the Dad set fire to the car’s spare tire at a petrol station, sat on said tyre and then broke out into a rendition of Sex on Fire by the Kings of Leon, with the lyrics ‘my butt is on fire’.

Truly I wonder if this was my peak.

#not sure how to tag this one actually #writing #childhood #kings of leon #i was so proud of it #if you read my fics just know that this is where it all started

I worked for HOURS to make a Lock Screen of Taylor Performing throughout all the eras and I FINALLY got it perfect TWO NIGHTS AGO and I got the iOS 16.1 update this morning and now it’s SCREWING WITH IT so the photos don’t shuffle in the order that I put them in and I am so frustrated over this I WILL start crying

#taylor swift #taylor’s version #no cuz you don’t understand #I replaced it FOUR TIMES #It was so good #I worked so hard on it #I was so proud of it #I showed my mom #I put them in order #I Even included the Taylor’s versions #and now my phone wants to screw with me? #I’m not here to play games with you I am your master #you do as I say #taylor lurking #eras tour #taylornation

you know when you make something you are so proud of and you are so giddy that you made it but even your friends are dont even pay any attention to it so you kinda just feel so,,, bad about yourself. Like "I thought this was so cool I was so excited and proud of myself for making this, but no body barely pays any mind to it so was I wrong?? was it bad?? I never thought I would be able to do this, nobody likes it does that mean anything I make is just a failure??? Am I a failure??"

I'm a cryptid in Stardew valley. I live on the outskirts of town. I disappear for days on end, purchasing daily one-way tickets to the calico desert. Nobody knows where I go while I'm there. Can occasionally be found fishing at random spots throughout town. I am never not running on at least one triple shot espresso. I take the abandoned minecarts to get around and am frequently seen disappearing into the sewers. I carry a sword for some reason. Once every week or two I will stride into your bedroom to deliver you your favorite meal. I'm a self-made millionaire. I attend all the town events and will go to your concert in the next town over. I have donated approximately 2583 items to the local museum and singlehandedly revitalized the town community center. There are rumors I can talk to junimos. I'm friends with the local wizard

#Stardew valley #most common meeting place for me and my girlfriend is level 20 of the mines #I'm so proud of her 🥲 #i give her spicy eel that i got from killing monsters in the skull caverns #seriously can you imagine having someone like that in your town lmao

I once made this ceramic fish that I was really proud of and gave it to my mom. I asked her about it later and she just. Lost it. Less than a year after I gave it to her. Like christ haven’t you hurt me enough you can’t even bother to keep the things I give you.

I really wish I had the guts to just cut her off. She never cared for me.

#vent #tw sensitive content #sorry i wanted to get this out #i spent months on that fish #i was so proud of it

As a reminder that good exists out there, a coworker recently confessed to me that he found out his child is questioning their identity (kid's gender redacted for this post). The kid is keeping it from him, so he can't say anything to them or show that he knows, but he's doing his best to get mentally prepared and educated so that he'll be ready whenever his kid does feel comfortable enough come to him.

For context, this guy is a big, bulky middle aged dude who loves sports and typical outdoor "manly" activities. As his coworker and friend, I know he's a kind and sweet teddy bear of a person, but his kid probably views him as a stern, authoritarian figure, the way most teenagers view their parents. His family lives in a conservative area, so I'm sure between that, their dad's looks and interests, and the fact that their dad is a Figure of Authority, the kid is worried that they won't be accepted.

But you know what? When he found out about his kid, the first thing he did was reach out to his closest queer friend and ask for resources for parents of questioning children. His biggest fears are that his kid will be bullied or discriminated against and won't feel comfortable enough to be themself. His second action was to find himself a mentor in another parent who went the same situation (kid coming out in a conservative town). The other person is preparing him for some of the struggles his kid may face and the fights he may need to take on as a parent to make sure his kid is safe and treated well.

Something I want to emphasize for people focused on language as the primary method of allyship is that when we spoke, he used some outdated terms and thoughts about gender and sexuality. That does not make him bad. These were the terms and thinking used about questioning teenagers when he was growing up and he never needed to learn more current ones. But now that he does have that need, he's throwing himself in head first because that's his kid and he's darn well going to make sure that his kid feels welcomed and has a safe place to be themselves even if they never come out to him.

#I'm so proud and happy for my coworker and I've been trying to figure out how to let him know how amazing I think he is #what gets me the most is that he's keeping this super down low to avoid giving any hints to his kid #he has a lot of queer friends so he already is known as an ally but there's always a chance it will be different if it's family #and he took that chance and crumpled it up into a ball and slam dunked it into the garbage for three points #and decided that even if his kid wants to hide it from him for the rest of his life he will still do what he can to make their life better #pflag #parents doing their best #parenting win #good news #allyship
