It’s easier with people around you. To make you feel more like you.

#critical role #ygifs #cr2 #yasha #honestly what's the point in gifs when your heart can’t wrench from the crack in her voice #anger is an emotion I know how to deal with because thats where I live just. just. completely. #the way that grief is the soil of rage will never not be with me #yasha not being present for the majority and yet her entire character arc and growth being so powerful and purposeful I just #their love never leaving her even when she was lost and their love embracing her back just as fiercely #loss and grief and guilt and loneliness and rage and c2 really said we will keep you still and your hair will grow white again

It's okay if many of your friends or people you liked somehow, sooner or later, left you. it's not your fault. It's probably not even theirs. It's just that not everybody is meant to stay in our life and we're not meant to stay in everyone's life. Their behaviour or the fact that you're no more in contact, doesn't define your worth nor it depends on what has happened. And it doesn't mean that everyone you'll meet will one day leave or choose someone else. You're not gonna be a second choice or second guess forever. Start giving yourself, see your own worth objectively. And even if you did something wrong in the past, you don't have to repeat that with new people. Close that door, grieve (things cannot change anyway, so work with your guilt feelings if there are any) and move on with your new knowlegde and awareness: we sometimes need to make mistakes to learn something, even to trust the "wrong" people (that at the moment seem right -and maybe they are for that moment! But we all change, and sometimes in different ways, and therefore we cannot connect with each other anymore, and that's okay! New people that matches the "new us" will come in!!) or do/say something "wrong".

TWOL 1x04

Thoughts continued…

I keep coming back to this moment. It broke me to my core. Anyone who has lost someone, knows the darkness, knows the death of the world you once knew, the loss of the person you once were. The more time passes, the more the memories of them disappear, and it all becomes a blur. They can be in your dreams one moment and gone the next. Time and circumstance steal and dissipate the connection you once had. It makes you feel like you’ve lost them over and over again.

You find yourself searching for them in other people, places, or things. You temporarily win the battle with your internal thoughts, feelings, and disconnection, by finding solace and peace in these lifelines. They help us to live, to survive another day, without them. It can absolutely destroy you if there is nothing left to hold on to❤️‍🩹.

When Michonne put Carl back in Ricks’s hands, she literally breathed new life into him. She gave him a connection, a lifeline for him to hold on to. I felt this! I know this!! It encapsulates grief/ loss so well. Beautifully written and acted! ♥️

I feel sick. Tumblr has basically been my whole world for the last 14 or so years, more than a third of my life. It feels like a beloved friend has just been diagnosed with a terminal illness. I don't know how long they have left but I now have to live with the knowledge that the end is near. That some day, possibly soon, I will have to live in a world without them. That I will probably have to watch them slowly wither away until they're a husk of their former self (which has already been happening though I've tried to turn a blind eye) and I'm not sure if that's better or worse than pulling the plug because at least I'll have a little more time with them.

I know there have been "tumblr is dead" scares in the past but this one is not like those. This one is not a joke. It's real (unless a miracle occurs and we suddenly gets a massive amount of funding from some generous benefactor). Tumblr has been rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic for years now but we've finally hit the iceberg.

My only hope is, now that we know the end is no longer theoretical, the tumblr community will rally around and put real funding into an alternative like pillowfort or cohost. Now more than ever we need to create a true crowdsourced archive of our own for fandom so that this can't keep happening.

I'll make backup accounts on other sites, but in case you were wondering, I'm not planning on going anywhere just yet. I'm going down with this ship. It's been an honor and a privilege. 🫡

#I'm still reeling from the news #I haven't been able to focus on anything this morning #I just needed to post something to hopefully help get some of the grief I'm feeling out of my system #am I being too melodramatic? #probably #but I really can't overstate how important tumblr has been to me over the years #both for my mental health and growth as a person #tumblr #my words #reblog locking this now because I don't want to spread any panic

@autisticempathydaemon said they loved my Angel listener (along with everything else it was SO SWEETTT OMLLL<333) so here’s a doodle for you! They’re also one of my favorites!

Look at that face.

Full of mischief.

Some fun facts about them: they’re native! Specifically they could be from the Salishan (but I don’t know too much so I leave it ambiguous) and are half Filipino, born and raised in British Columbia, Canada around Vancouver. They were raised by their mom and brothers, then moving to dahlia for college.

They originally planned to secure a high end job in Vancouver just going to California for school but they met David. They still visit their family as often as they can.

They’re 5’4, the shortest listener! Aklag is still beefy and could definitely throw David over their head. Their callouses are from being raised on a farm, and they’re starting to fade now.

I took them out of another story I made a while ago so I’m still trying to tweak them seamlessly so I’ll actually maybe probably not but make a backstory sheet for my listeners?

Thank you sm for your words and I hope you like it!

#I originally took them from an old idea I had for a book #basically their family got torn apart after their mom died so they left to California to try to avoid it #see their short hair in my first drawings of them and now after a couple years it’s long again #they were really connected to their mom so her death hit them really hard kinda making a wall around them #instead of being grumpy it’s more of a shallowish happiness of avoidance #David was really the only person to get through to them and I find it very convenient that they’re both parallels #I also made Darlin’ native and originally one of their childhood friends #darling moved to Washington #they stayed in British Columbia #not really being able to be themself #not fully being able to embrace their native nor Filipino heritage #just an idea of someone dealing with grief and I like how that they’ve evolved last my og idea thru Raudio #hint hint their slow hair growth and gaining back of weight to show their healing process #eventually I’ll draw their brothers #aurgghh I just like them a lot and had a lot of unfinished ideas for them I’m glad people like them #redacted asmr #freggzocs #freggzartz #redacted audio #redacted audio fanart #redacted asmr fanart #redacted asmr angel

sometimes growth is the first flame before a forest fire.

sometimes growth involves a knife.
