#And for real

[artbytesslyn]

I know ‘just do it’ is like the most basic and annoying advice out there but for webcomics, like, literally just do it. You can post it for free, and if it flops like, no harm no foul. And every panel you draw, you’re learning to be better. and trust me, with comics, you’ll need practice. Get the practice by just starting.

I have decided to watch Below again…

I need to see Ryan’s little dork dance again.

Hello Lottie dearest. I was wondering if you would be willing to write some encouraging words as Hux to whoever is reading? While many things in my life are getting better I am finding my self a bit down and depressed. Mostly these feelings relate to body image, self confidence and a feeling that I am not meeting life's expectations. I know that these are things that many people struggle with and most days the feelings aren't so bad but other times they can be all consuming, like today. Please do not feel obligated to write if this is something you don't feel comfortable doing.

SENDER: GENERAL ARMITAGE HUX  | SUBJECT: CONCERN

OPEN MESSAGE- - - - - - - - - - -

Good evening, Lieutenant Emerald. Forgive the arrival of my message when you are off-shift but I thought it necessary as your commanding officer—and your friend—to contact you.

It was pleasant to spend some time with you in the mess hall this evening but I do not approve of some of the things that you spoke about and, as your General, I must bring these issues to your attention at once.

Let me begin by saying this;

You are enough. You are.

Even without looking at your personal records, I can tell you that you are one of the finest officers to ever grace the First Order. Your presence here is valued greatly, both as an officer and a person. I shouldn’t be revealing this confidential information to you but I have had reports of other officers asking about your well-being because you do not seem like yourself.

I have seen the way you look at yourself when you pass your reflection, the way you spoke about yourself to fellow officers. I refuse to wear my heart on my sleeve but I shall bear all for you, Lieutenant, because I know that you need to hear these things that I have to say to you.

I know what it is like to look in the mirror and dislike what you see. I know what it is like to see the way others look at me and hear their insults. I command respect and I strut on the bridge as though I am invincible but I’m not. I can still hear my father’s words in my mind but my uniform is like my armour; nothing can penetrate it because I am worthy of it.

You are the same, Lieutenant. What you see in the mirror may not please you but those thoughts are like my father’s words; wrong. Negativity about your appearance, whether that be from others or lies from your own mind, is exactly that; lies. Are you here? Yes. Do you manage to get through each day? Yes. Then that makes you a worthy and valued person and, if I may be so bold, beautiful. How can a person with such a strong heart and soul be ugly?

Whether you think you are as thin as a slip of paper or otherwise, you are not. Your body is the tool in which you will conquer your obstacles and annihilate your enemies; how can you become General one day if you do not trust in yourself?

Your life, your path, has no wrong choices, dear friend. You are not behind or failing or lacking, you are exactly where you need to be in this vast galaxy—even if you do not believe that. It is no secret that I believe that everything has a place, that everything has order. You are in the place where you are most needed now—and if that place is in your bedchambers then I would say that it is a good place to be.

Low moods and bad feelings do not take away from the fact that you are a tremendously valued person. Sad days and mean thoughts are not you, Lieutenant. Your smile and your interests and your values are you. And I know that you are worthy.

I know you are suffering, my friend, but you are not alone. I am with you, the First Order is with you. And I’m sure that if he were to stop breaking my consoles for a kriffing moment, Master Ren would be with you too. Perhaps we can approach him for some advice on how to help you with your problems. You did not hear this from me but I know that Ren himself suffers as you do.

Even the strongest of warriors have anxieties and shed tears. You are not alone.

My chambers are open to you any time. Millicent would enjoy a visit, I’m sure.

Always here.

Sincerely,

General A. Hux

#I'm so sorry that you're feeling so terribly darling #if this helps in ANY way then i'll be so glad #and for real #my inbox is always open <3 <3 <3 <3 #armitage hux #tw body image #tw self worth

I laugh at how s11 is still this wary thing to talk about. At the end of the day s11 was so circus like I don’t think any “changes” that happened are even done properly where they pose truth or are what you have to believe. The whole thing is up to interpretation. And yes I think the writers clearly had a motive with stuff but then again they didn’t explain it. I’m usually one who has to side with canon but s11 canon is not explicit. Things we hated can easily been mistakes for Gallavich.

i just - sigh. i am of two minds when it comes to s11.

like. on the one hand - what a disservice, ya know? a disservice to the storytelling they used to be so capable of. to the characters, to their relationships.... to the themes that we cared so much about. not to say they always handled things as they should, but the decline in quality is obviously well-documented. what a shame for such a powerhouse of a show and cast. to go out like that? ouch. and, honestly - this has less (not nothing tho kasdhf) to do with ian and mickey. the rage just comes from an overwhelming DISAPPOINTMENT with how they dropped the ball for so many others - fiona and lip in particular. if i let myself, i can still get pissed.

but then again, who gives a fuck? who cares? the characters were already caricatures of themselves at this point, so why did we expect anything else? why does it matter? everyone did well enough, we know they're gonna be okay, and now they're ours. why must we discuss meaningless bullshit ad nauseam? i do not give a FUCK about 11x07, i barely give a fuck about 11x01. i just. don't care. there are plenty of other things about the later seasons i would rather talk about.

but for the most part, i don't like to discuss s11 much bc i don't think it serves us anymore? people get emotional and, honestly, they get kind of mean. at this point, think what you want about those storylines. they're yours now. there are still worthy conversations to be had about this show, its characters, and its stories. there are things to meta and explore, things worthy of our time. this.... ain't it. so bring on the fix-it fics and let's move the fuck on, yeah?

#is this mean? #am i being mean right now? #s11 talk just wears me the fuck out #it's not fun #and it just never ends askjdhf #i just think there are more worthy things! #and i don't like what the whole monogamy thing brings out in us kajsdhf it's unpleasant #and at this stage - again - who cares? #and for real #my beef with s11 has less to do with ian and mickey now #they were fucking annoying but the tragedy lies with lip imo #ANYWAYS NO NOT DOING I AM STOPPING NOW #BYE #I LOVE YOU #mel answers

been asked what i want for christmas by some friends and family members.

my answer in my head every sing time -

robert sheehan 🥰🖤💙😅

(i mean ideally this would mean/include us being in a romantic relationship. 🖤 but realistically and honestly, i would be more than good with meeting him and becoming very very good friends with him 🥹 which could/hopefully would lead to us being best friends 😄🥰)

well and becoming an actress 😅☺️ (and getting to like work with the people i’ve dreamt of working with for years and get to do what i’ve always wanted to/always dreamed of doing since i was a little kid 🥺)

#i want robert sheehan for christmas #like seriously #and for real #this needs to happen #who can possibly help me make this happen? 😄 #genuinely asking lol #aspiring actress #non-binary actress #rozzymikes #aka the love of my life #my future husband #klaus hargreeves

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

#self #last night i kept stimming thinking about this LOVE IS AO REAL. AUGH #i dont like damming but this is a step in the right direction AND it gets the public involved #i love that! more public interactions like this in ecology please! thats how you bring change! thats how you make ppl see the beauty in life #marine biology #ecology

one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

#I was forced to get over my hatred of making phone calls bc of this #one 15 minute phone call is the equivalent of 5 back and forth emails #also if you don't know exactly what you need help with you can just ask and you can get real help #instead of just desperately clawing at faqs on websites #it's infuriating that it works so well #ramblings

I hate how people will look at popular indie artists who had one or two songs go viral on TikTok and start making fun of anybody who listens to them. "Oh you listen to Lemon Demon, Will Wood, Jack Stauber, Glass Animals, and Mother Mother? Tsk, don't you know that is stupid TikTok neurodivergent white transmasc preteen music? It's so mid and bad you should listen to real music–" you are a pit of misery

#I'm going to be real with you I think anybody who hates on Will Wood has only heard like thirty seconds of it #will wood #lemon demon #mother mother #jack stauber #sp-rambles #glass animals
