The prevailing attitude that self-promotion is bad and shameful tacitly supports the idea that the only media worthy of circulation is media backed by ad campaigns or content with existing algorithmic momentum pushing it. I will never shame independent creators for hustling their work. I will never pressure someone into hiding something that they have every right to be proud of.

Wade rolls his eyes. “You sound like a PSA for safe, sane, and respectful sex. Maybe I want you to do me nasty until I scream. Have you considered that?”

Or, Nate’s rod and tackle is full metal. No cowardice in character design here.

I just really like CATS - you might even say I love it with every fibre of my being.

#thats all #no justification no analyzation no defense no nothing #i *can* give you all of those things i *have* given people all of those things many many many times #here and offline #but you know what? i genuinely do not need to #nobody needs to #if you enjoy the musical about the dancing cat people embrace it! own it! and if others make fun of you for it #cut them from the conversation #like i understand it sucks when people around you don't like the thing you like #and it can feel isolating #but at the end of the day if you need peer approval to like something then that's something you need to unpack #for the benefit of your mental health #regardless of what it is you will find community - you *will* find people who will like things with you #and if not? do what makes you happy! make whatever you want say what you'd like #talk about the thing ad nauseum #don't be ashamed #you will find your people and be happier in the process #remember that for every thing you dislike that others like there will be something you like that others dislike #and that's okay - that's completely okay #you need no justification and most theatre kids who hate cats have never seen it due to bad mouthing #i know this from experience - i knew people like this #anyway good morning i love cats i will always love cats i have loved cats for over 20 years #love the musical and be happy #extemporize back chat

Pill Bottles and fears

When reflecting on your past, do you have any regrets? Personally, I have many; one of them being the fact that I have stopped taking my anxiety medication. I often ask myself, "Why did I even stop taking my medication in the first place?". While I still don't have a definite answer, I have a few hypotheses. One reason may be pure shame. Maybe I am just ashamed that I am even qualified to take medication for my anxiety. I often think to myself that I really am so messed up in the head to the point where I require drugs to stabilize my mental health. These thoughts are completely irrational, yet they can never seem to escape my mind. I often think, "Maybe if I take my medication again, these lingering ideas will go away?", but that’s easier said than done. The idea or act of taking Zoloft each day instills a great amount of humiliation and guilt in me.

hi sorry in advance if this is weird but i couldn't for the life of me figure out who machete was reminding me of and just now i figured it out - surku the dog from the moomins. can't remember enough to tell how accurate that is personality wise but something about the image of a distressed pointy-nosed dog shivering in a coat... plus ne on molemmat ahdistuneita queer ikoneita

I love Surku! Surku must be protected at all costs.

If you ask me, he's even more distressed in the comics.

I keep him on my fridge door as well.

But now that we're on the topic of Moomin characters, I must add that I see Machete in various Fillyjonks a lot. The short story Fillyjonk who believed in disasters is one of my favorite pieces of literature ever, when I first read it it shook me to my core, I still revisit it on yearly basis. For someone who seemed so wild and free spirited by nature, Tove Jansson did remarkable job at catching and depicting the essence of anxiety, uncertainty, vague sadness and irrational fears. At least in my opinion.

#loving the last moment Finnish jumpscare by the way #answered #anonymous #in the comics Surku only likes cats and is ashamed of it #I don't mean to theorize but surely there's no deeper meaning to that or anything #coming from a queer author #all iterations of moomin are wonderful I'm recommending them to literally everyone #but read fillyjonk who believed in disasters if you can #it has moments that are very Machete-esque #everyone loves Little My and Moomin and Snufkin and I get that but man Fillyjonks just hit different #also Sniff my beloved you deserved better

[momochanners]

Yes, YES; This one gets it.

#bg3 #halsin #the bear thing is haha and all #but the scene/mood/dialogue is straight outta the pages of a racy romance novel #and for people that love this it's gratifying and touching that it's a scenario that's crafted with much care and seriousness #as opposed to being something to be ashamed of #as if emotions and intimacy don't belong in a narrative experience especially one so personal like idk A ROLEPLAYING GAME #to me THAT'S why this is a big thing for a flagship CRPG to go all in on #optional bear necessities aside #And we don't even know yet how the other companions' will be like #Gale & Astarion's will personally attack me I guess #Fed I am thoroughly fed

i. about 2 weeks ago, i was told there's a good chance that in 5 or so years, i'll need a wheelchair.

ii. okay. i loved harry potter as a kid. i have a hypothesis about this to be honest - why people still kind of like it. it's that she got very lucky. she managed to make a cross-generational hit. it was something shared for both parents and kids. it was right at the start of a huge cultural shift from pre to post-internet. i genuinely think many people were just seeking community; not her writing. it was a nice shorthand to create connection. which is a long way of saying - she didn't build this legacy, we built it for her. she got lucky, just once. that's all.

iii. to be real with you, i still struggle with identifying as someone with a disability, which is wild, especially given the ways my life has changed. i always come up against internalized ableism and shame - convinced even right now that i'm faking it for attention. i passed out in a grocery store recently. i hit my head on the shelves while i went down.

iv. he raises his eyebrows while he sends me a look. her most recent new book has POTS featured in it. okay, i say. i already don't like where this is going. we both take another bite of ramen. it is a trait of the villain, he says. we both roll our eyes about it.

v. so one of the things about being nonbinary but previously super into harry potter is that i super hate jk rowling. but it is also not good for my mental health to regret any form of joy i engaged with as a kid. i can't punish my young self for being so into the books - it was a passion, and it was how i made most of my friends. everyone knew about it. i felt like everyone had my same joy, my same fixation. as a "weird kid", this sense of belonging resonated with me so loudly that i would have done anything to protect it.

vi. as a present, my parents once took me out of school to go see the second movie. it is an incredibly precious memory: my mom straight-up lying about a dentist appointment. us snickering and sneaking into the weekday matinee. within seven years of this experience, the internet would be a necessity to get my homework finished. the world had permanently changed. harry potter was a relic, a way any of us could hold onto something of the analog.

vii. by sheer luck, the year that i started figuring out the whole gender fluid thing was also the first year people started to point out that she might have some internalized biases. i remember tumblr before that; how often her name was treated as godhood. how harry potter was kind of a word synonymous for "nerdy but cool." i would walk out of that year tasting he/him and they/them; she would walk out snarling and snapping about it.

viii. when i teach older kids creative writing, i usually tell them - so, she did change the face of young adult fiction, there's no denying that. she had a lot more opportunities than many of us will - there were more publishing houses, less push for "virally" popular content creators. but beyond reading another book, we need to write more books. we need to uplift the voices of those who remain unrepresented. we need to push for an exposure to the bigotry baked into the publishing system. and i promise you: you can write better than she ever did. nothing she did was what was magical - it was the way that the community responded to it.

ix. i get home from ramen. three other people have screenshotted the POTS thing and sent it to me. can you fucking believe we're still hearing this shit from her when it's almost twenty-fucking-twenty-three. the villain is notably also popular on tumblr. i just think that's funny. this woman is a billionaire and she's mad that she can't control the opinions of some people on a dying blue site that makes no money. lady, and i mean this - get a fucking life.

x. i am sorry to the kid i was. maybe the kid you were too. none of us deserved to see something like this ruined. that thing used to be precious to me. and now - all those good times; measured into dust.

#witches and wizards #kids need to be able to play games without knowing the extended universe #playing was easy #i knew i wasn't gonna be able to explain chronicles of christomancy #but we could pick up a stick and run around #nd say we were magic that would be enough backstory #and i think the last time i felt that sense of community #was the summer of pokemon go #it's about cross-generational connectivity bro #yes there are insular communtities but EVERYONE had fucking read harry potter #which is me saying - i think maybe people don't miss HER or the ACTUAL BOOK tbh #they miss... feeling connected #think about how so many people felt so weirdly ashamed and lost after Game of Thrones ended - #they did SUCH a bad job that the entire community just... vanished. #where beforehand people would have GoT weddings #we are just animals who love stories and love feeling like we speak the same language #btw i am not on twitter so i hadn't seen some of the shit she was doing #and then when i was 19 she published the ''american school'' hogwarts stuff #and was reading it casually bc again a huge nerd #and in it shes like ''the british taught the natives their more civilized magics'' #and that was like..................... oh okay. okay. so.....

Hey, gentle recognition for the people who are taking care of themselves in "not aesthetically-pleasing" ways. To the people who have to do things they don't want to because they know they would suffer more if they didn't, to the people who have to brush their teeth with their fingers, to the people who have to use washcloths to bathe, to the people who need to punch pillows or scream into them to express their intense emotions, to anybody ashamed about the way they need to live and take care of themselves.

You are doing the very best you can with the hand you've been dealt. It's not easy, it's not pretty, but it sure as fuck takes so much to do these things. You are doing what is best for yourself, and I, for one, think you deserve to be proud of that. Self-care isn't easy. It isn't pretty, often, but it's something you shouldn't be ashamed of or hide away because it's deemed "grotesque" or "not really self-care (because self-care is pretty and non-threatening to 'normal peoples' senses)"

#mental health #mental health support #self care #like when i was still in school i would end up forcing myself to go because i knew i would feel worse if i hadn't... #...and i don't think people get how difficult that is. it isn't like you choose to be difficult when you struggle #and feeling ashamed about doing these things only makes the situation worse for them (the person struggling) #something i've just been thinking about #i hate this idea that self-care *only* looks like the 'healthy' person's treat days... #...like lighting candles around your bathtub and putting rose petals in the water... #...because that isn't the only aspect to taking care of yourself. sometimes it looks like forcing yourself to bathe and grieving... #...and using rough washcloths because you can't stand the feeling of your own skin and you can't stand how dirty you feel... #...and obviously i'm not saying that mentally ill people doing self-care is the only way it looks... #...but that it really doesn't help us when self-care is almost made into a 'non-threatening' activity that is pleasant and nice-looking #and of course the examples i used in this post were examples and aren't the end-all-be-all
