#I know I’m lucky to have them

[stuckinapril]

when you accept that the unique things about you are the best things about you. when you fall in love w your uniqueness and become obsessed w it and reject conformity. when you think for yourself and draw your own conclusions and adore that you don’t perfectly fit into a mold. that’s when you’ll know true peace

#this sounds like an instagram infographic but hear me out #all the things i used to hide as a teen are things i am so grateful to embrace now #i’m realizing that any notable person has trailblazed their own path. that’s how they stand out. #not bc they already fit into a predetermined mold. but bc they were unique and confident about it #can’t say i’m at a 100% w my self acceptance yet but there will be FAR fewer things to talk about in therapy 🥲 and that’s a good thing #ppl rly need to take their quirks and appreciate them and LOVE them and adore them and be obsessed and feel so lucky they have them #the same old same old is boring #it just sucks that w uniqueness naturally comes backlash #and u have ppl who r nasty rude etc etc. who try to make u feel like ur the freak show for being different #but as long as u know ur truth that’s what matters. that’s all #text

Marisol Coxi was one of those Monster High dolls I really wanted when I was little but never ended up getting, so I think it would be awesome if she got brought back for G3! Going off that I thought I’d try designing her a G3 look! I actually love how it turned out, I wanted to keep her colour scheme and aspects of her original design (like the hair and the shoes) but also looked up some Peruvian clothes for her since she’s from Monster Pichu!

#I really really like it lol #I had Abbey growing up and once it was revealed Marisol was her cousin I thought it would be great to have them both #but I was a kid so my sisters and I really only ever got MH dolls as Christmas or birthday gifts if we were lucky so we couldn’t really pick #who we’d get #but now I’m an adult with adult money #and I can get dolls when they come out! #manifesting G3 abbey #I know she’s out in some stores so I really want to find her in my town #monster high #monster high reboot #monster high g3 #monster high gen 1 #mh g3 #mh g1 #marisol coxi #monster exchange

if you read trc and came away hating adam parrish i have no choice but to assume you’re extremely unsympathetic to poor people in general and i do Not trust you

#like for him to even be friends with gansey when gansey’s that rich is insane to me i don’t know how he did it #nothing against gansey really cause that’s just how he is #but if i was adam and my friend who owned entire buildings at the age of 16 tried to have an opinion on my life #i would never speak to them again and i sincerely mean that #and i’m lucky cause i grew up in an area where a lot of my friends were also poor #but to go to private boarding school and be that alienated oh i would have been much worse than him #adam parrish #the raven cycle #trc

#glass animals #honestly i wore out dreamland sm my brain took a lonnng break from expecting anything from them?? idk i’m just huh???? #like….. when i say wore out #i cannot describe how much i listened to it #i usually have some vague idea even if it’s a ridiculous number #like 52 times in a month for an album or something (has happened) #i cannot recall w this #gonna say bc 2020 & they were Literally the last band i saw live. next morning everyone found out about everything annd lockdown. no joke #so it was big dreamland time when it dropped and revisiting their past albums when i broke out of its spell lmao #(pretty sure before that like january was when i listened to déjà vu 100+ times in a row tho so oop. it was a tough day lol) #anyway seeing this aww man. i really have had this band with me for a long long time. 🥹 i remember hearing gooey on the radio one night #driving home from work late @ night in 2014. the drive was so short i couldn’t be arsed to fish out my ipod & plug it in #sometimes so just popped on a good station i had preset. started the car and heard this *voice* and i was like who???? #had to check the station bc it was an alt station and i thought i had it on another one which was fine i was just v confused #it was in the middle of the song & i was immediately anxious to know the name hoping i’d hear it & it wouldn't just flow into the next song #then the dj would pile the names together after x number of songs played bc i was tiired (but woulda stayed in the car ngl). got lucky & #ran inside to find it then yelled at my roommate the next day that she HAD to listen to it during a smoke session after work #(i was right & it blew her miiind) #god. what a fucking time. what a fucking band. idk what the disc horse is surrounding them now since they blew up via tiktok #i’m sure people are v quick to say they’re overrated bc of that but idk & i’m glad i don’t know. they’ll always be this #highly inventive incredible band i stumbled upon for the perfect night drive home after a long long shift #a band that came back from a Horrible accident that should have ended 1 of their lives & somehow didn’t & should have ended them #as a band (like still cannot believe Joe was drumming in 2020 & i saw it with my own eyes like how tf???!?) #a band deserving of all of its successes. glass animals forever

It’s super fun realizing no one is ever excited to see you the way you are to see them. That even if they’re nice and tolerate your presence, you’re no one’s best friend, if you’re even a friend at all.

#cookie speaks #not a new realization #I just get occasionally reminded #that no one misses me when I’m not around #I miss having a best friend #I miss knowing that someone looked forward to seeing me #except even then she had other better friends she wanted to see more #I’m steady and reliable #I let people treat me however they want as long as they give me a little bit of attention #I don’t excite anyone #I’m not included in plans unless I’m the one making them #no one ever asks me first #no one misses me no one likes me no one thinks of me #I’m lucky to be tolerated #even luckier to be included #sometimes #if they remember #if I ask #I don’t ask anymore #I’d rather be alone than have to beg for every second of companionship #but being alone fuckijg sucks when you’re surrounded by reminders of how loved everyone else is #not even my family wants me around #I’m abrasive and irritating better off far away from anyone else #so they won’t be bothered

[quintessential-candles]

this is all that's left for me huh. the word seal.

That’s not all that’s left! You’re still the one mutual who my cousins have memorized the username of!

#despite me and them literally knowing some of my mutuals in real life! #‘omg Tumblr user [takeaguess/nf] just reblogged a post’ ‘[namewithheld] what the hell are you talking about!?’ #and then I have to explain it’s my homie who they have literally met and seen 2738 pictures of #BUT IF I TELL THEM ‘GUYS TUMBLR USER THATONELUCKBEE REBLOGGED A POST’ they’re like ‘OMG! YOU HAVE ISSUES BUT OMG!’ #lucky* I’m not retyping that though

[drowninginthoughts27]

I think we all have that one mutual who we admire to the point that we are to scared to property talk to them.

#I’m pretty sure this person knows who they are #and I honestly don’t know how I got lucky enough to have them as a mutual #but honestly I’m scared to talk to all of my mutuals #em rambles

Racist white ppl who don’t realize they’re racist getting mad about gojo is so funny

#y’all do the same shit #making them hot cheeto girl edits using AAVE USHER!! #helloooooo call in house etc. #but also I’ve been saying this for awhile #where ppl don’t want complicated characters or interesting arcs bc then they have to think about themselves #I’m not just yapping y’all u can look back #this is the second time feeling so vindicated #bc when it happened with Sokka and everyone was confused I literally said this is a product of this mindset #like grand scheme the reason they removed that from Sokka is that y’all can’t stomach ur faves having biases even when they improve #look at how y’all are reacting to gojo #I may tell a joke but I will never tell a WHAT #well no I lie a lot sorry #anyways point is y’all running to say gojo isn’t racist even tho the point of the scene is him unlearning that bias #and then turning around and saying you want complex characters #like it’s so telling when the only flaws u give ur characters is insecurity and maybe assholeish tendencies that don’t actually mean a lot #like y’all want these ppl to be you till they’re actually you #ugh #anyways y’all are so lucky I resisted adding my hate for another character for this #you ALRDY know who #just know he’s in here too #oh obvious obligatory duh ppl didn’t write sokka or gojo bc of eachother I’m talking about behavioral trends across media consumption dont #piss me off like with the way y’all act I wouldn’t be surprised #I’m not saying they’re related Like linearly or whatever I’m saying this shit isn’t coming out of nowhere it’s YOU!

[mossflower]

i have no idea how to phrase this and not have it sound awful but like. ive literally never been more uncomfortable than when my friends start doing their ‘you’re so lucky i wish i was a lesbian women are so hot’ thing. like what am i supposed to say to that knowing full well that you’re in a relationship w averageguy jared over here. do you want a medal?? an award?? help!!

#like you’re bi. you are literally attracted to women. how am i lucky in this situation when we have the same feelings towards women??? #i just genuinely do not know how to respond to them without making it awkward!! i’m bad at social situations!! #to delete

i mean legit the best example i can give of dan’s purposeful censorship of his life was in that last post tbh

his reality: horrific absolute monster deadbeat dad who made him and his family’s life a living hell

what he says: my dad was mean to my mom :(

#he’s not LYING… he just… refuses to go further fjdjjf #like if his siblings want to vent to him abt their dad??? go ahead #but dan is a Steel Fortress ugh #i could talk abt him for hours i’m sorry pff #it wasn’t that he was expected to be a protector or his mother or younger siblings assigned him that role - he’s just… like that #he decided very early on that he could Handle It - no matter what It was #because as long as someone could handle it they could all be okay #it wasn’t that he was expected to step between his mother and his father he just… did #and earlier in the same day he and his dad could have gone out hunting and sat in odd comfortable but not at all friendly or loving silence #but god… he’s been so repressed for so long #he only knows how to be there for others - i don’t think (even for as insightful and confident in himself #because of his years of introspection that he has) that i can properly even put into words #how much this man has mistaken having a restricted section in his library for healing and Moving On #he still has trouble hanging out with his siblings - he still feels guilt - he still feels like he’s been stuck in some strange limbo #of life. he’s very lucky to be where he is and doing what he loves #but some mornings he wakes up and he’s still that fourteen year old boy #whose face aches and ribs hurt and when he comes to… he doesn’t feel any ownership of the space he occupies #he’s just… there. #daniel is the boy who practices a few smiles as he pushes himself to sit in bed because he can hear his baby siblings running down #the hall to let him know breakfast is ready - and he told them yesterday that the broken nose was nothing and the black eye was fine #and giving them that relief will always come before the sick feeling in his stomach and the fear coiling around his neck #i could wax poetic abt this sumbitch for hours omg pls bless you if you read this AT ALL idk if anything i say abt daniel makes sense fjfhf #child abuse tw // #military yt man marries local selvadoradan beauty whose twenty years younger than him - does their eldest son have some #Serious Generational Trauma?? vote now on your phones!!! 📞 #dan takin a hit for everyone in the house at one point or another: light work no reaction #dan learning there’s cucumbers in his food: 😰😭😢🤕

The most joyful and pure creature on the planet

#we’ve been frequenting a new brewpub and the staff have very quickly become attached to her #she somehow manages to be kind of aloof to strangers while still having this magnetism that draws people in #once she’s met someone like. twice tho she acts like she’s known them for her entire life #I cannot imagine having the charisma she naturally exudes it’s insane lol #like once a week someone will meet her and tell me ‘wow she’s really special you must feel so lucky’ #and I’m like bitch I know!! and I do!!

spent all afternoon with my family getting ready for the funeral sunday. acutely reminded that they’re all, particularly my sister, under the impression i am a robot who has no feelings and no problems and lives in a rainbow castle full of sunshine and sparkles and nothing is ever difficult or stressful or traumatizing for me.

that was. great.

#gav gab #my sister said to my face. to my FACE. that the problems in our family #and this is a direct quote #skipped me and hit them twice #which they were referring in that moment specifically to addiction issues #but makes for a very neat summary of how they view me in general #they have every problem and i have none #lucky bastard that i am i dodged all of it! haha how great! of course i’m fine I’m always fine #which is just #1. how the fuck would they know #they don’t know basic information about me or my life and that’s one hell of an assumption #2. addiction is a spectre that has haunted my entire life even if ive never actively had substance abuse problems myself #it’s almost like i got terrorized by our father while he was on drugs and drunk all the time #and they don’t remember any of that because they were too little and it didn’t fucking happen to them #and I’ve been petrified of touching any of it ever since #HM! IMAGINE! #idk how to even tag this sorry #abuse cw #death cw

I wish I could go back and tell younger me that I would in fact find that place one day full of people that I adore deeply and who I know love me in return. Who make me feel wanted and cared for and appreciated in a way I never thought would be possible. And none of it required hiding, or forcing myself to be a person I’m not. And I still have that space even though I’m aroace.

For the first time ever, I see a future where I’m not alone. And I wish I could go back and tell my younger self it would happen. It’s possible to not be constantly lonely.

#ravenpuff rambles #I’ve been lucky enough in my life to make amazing friends several times #several of whom are still in my life now #but it’s only been recently that I’ve felt like I truly found my place #I don’t know how to explain it #I guess up until now I have always gone into friendships expecting them to end and holding back just a little bit #and this is the first time I don’t feel like I have to run because I don’t feel like these people are going to leave me #maybe it’s just because one of them is also aroace and we’ve talked a lot about those similar feelings of being left behind #never had someone quite get that before #and maybe it’s just I feel more willing to open my heart #admittedly this group of ours went through some shit together and that’s how the friendships really started forming #and so maybe that helps #but it’s like #Have you ever met someone who is so much like you in so many ways that its like the joke of ‘ #‘can I copy your homework?’ ‘yeah just be sure to change it so no one knows’ #It’s a weird thing of feeling so completely and totally seen by somebody sometimes without having to say a word #anyways #I’m really happy with this little place I found and I wish I could tell younger me #and also tell xem that no it doesn’t look like a fanfic dream #no im not their person but yeah they’re kind of mine but that’s okay #its nothing and everything like I always thought of #and for the first time in my life I don’t feel a crush sense of loneliness #yes I wish I could see them in person #but I can be okay with everything I do get

You can’t ask me to chose between the two! Maybe in this world they’re twins? Or one of them is one of the many OZZ’s sisters. Please let’s recycle instead of throw out. (Mostly joking btw, you do you!)

They are two parts of the same whole…a universal contradiction…in one universe the comic continues with green, and in another the comic continues with red.

But yeah, I think my will is being tested a bit; the green and red campaigning has been persuasive B,*)

#ask #ouyang zizhen #red vs green saga #for posterity’s sake I’m gonna tag it #I mean it when I say I love them both! The community reactions have been wonderful to watch though #Whatever happens i just hope to make it funny #one will be oyzz and the other shall be The Nameless Diciple. #it would be cute if they were twins. Or besties. #it also makes whats about to come for them a lot worse B*( #I JEST #also no worries on sending me asks like this; I’m always happy to listen to feedback and change course if needed #but I also know people want me to do what I want to in the end #I really can’t emphasize how lucky I feel to have been adopted by you all #im so sorry im 2+ months behind on 90% of asks. My megareply is coming soon

Hello, im wehaveagathering from my main blog, im kind of obsessed with your hockey poetry edits and I think your blog is great! I guess I kind of have a dumb question, where do you find the images you use for your edits? Did you say Getty in your tags?? I’ve gotten into making icons recently (and i have ideas for poetry edits hrrrghhh) but it’s hard to find high res images. Thanks for your time and I hope you have a nice day :)

first of all thank you so much 🥹 and second that’s absolutely not a dumb question!! i do pull a lot of images from getty and i’ll also download pictures from sports articles (i got a lot of the hugheses pictures from online access articles, for example), or sometimes from instagram/facebook/twitter if an account is public. freely admitting that i am not technologically advanced? inclined? in the slightest here, but the image editing software that you use and how you import/export photos with it makes a difference in the quality of them as well!

if you haven’t seen them yet, i would also recommend checking out @simmyfrobby @national-hockey-lesbian @hauntedppgpaints @tapedsleeves @starscelly and @captainbradmarchand’s blogs just off the top of my head!!! they might know more places to get high res images and also i love their work 💕🫶

#sorry can’t type hands all butterfly hearts i’m just out here like 🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹😭😭😭💕💕💕 #@ everyone i tagged ty i love you i hope you don’t mind the tag 😘 also i KNOW i am unintentionally forgetting people so tag them at will #forgive me i am eepy. we are running on <4 hours of sleep and over 18 hours awake 🫡 #liv in the replies #join the club!!! join the club!!!!! we love the hockey poetry edits!!!!!! i’m so excited to see what you create!!!!! :))))) #the process of me finding images is very much like. either i have a vision in my head and i troll getty looking for it or my screenshots #if i know i have one l m a o but either way i am always 68 pages deep in a hyper specific search labeling my photos like ‘ohHHH buddy’ #‘menace 1 abd 2’ ‘but he’s not a cup winner’ ‘ohhhh the nolpat media scrums are rich earth’ #‘because WILLY WON’T CUT HIS HAIR’ ‘deJA FUCKIN MILK BAYBE’ ‘is it truly sn edit if u don’t find a devastating baby pic’ ‘yes MF last line’ #and so forth. like. glad it’s comprehensible to ME but if anyone else ever tried to use these photos based on file name alone i am so sorry #also i forget that y’all can’t see all of the metadata notes on photos to know where they’re from :/ i gotta be better abt making it clear #also on the note about image quality i just need to state for the record i am so photoshop whatever illiterate. #i learn one (1) new trick on GIMP a year maybe two if i am lucky & no i have never figured out consistent sizing 🫡 but the one hack for res #i HAVE figured out is that when i do edits i usually make a whole doc w/the poem lined up on it (helps me keep somewhat consistent sizing) #and then i export that document as a pdf and edit the pdf in the software instead of trying to screencap or jpeg or anything. PDF quality > #that is probably so convoluted lol if anyone has tips please lmk i am always learning #ANYWAY. rambling u did not ask for but is inherent to Me. #have a great day too!!!!! you literally made mine so 💕😭 #wehaveagathering #indecisor
