no please dont apologise for getting excited about your life its genuinely freeing and contagious to see people get happy about living (genuinely . life hard and sometimes i get tunnel visioned on bad stuffs and your life recounts remind me that Hey wait things Can Be Fun and Good)

I've always felt strongly motivated by the idea that I have a limited amount of time on this earth and if I want to get the absolute MOST out of it then I have to try EVERYTHING

I want to do EVERYTHING

Not even in like. A fear-motivated way

Like

If the experience of existing in physical form and being alive and getting to taste and see and smell and touch and create things and learn and feel was a person I'd want to hold her hand and marry her and die hand in hand of old age in the same bed

And I can't get enough of her

You feel me?

#When I say I love life I mean that violently #I mean that viscerally #I mean that life is a person and I'm afraid to die without her #You know? #Thanks for sharing that joy friend #I needed that today

Ovi and Sid vs. The World

"I think we both probably want to stick around a little longer, so it's not time for those beers, or whatever we'll drink, yet."

― Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin 'saved the NHL', but they're not done yet (Rossi, 2023)

#sidney crosby #alexander ovechkin #pittsburgh penguins #washington capitals #MASSIVE thank u to joy for sharing trade secrets #i decided to do this 8 hours ago and then my brain promptly switched off and i've been battling it ever since #could this have been done better if somebody else had done it? yes. probably. alas it shall be me who inflicts this on you. #i closed all the images before i wrote down who took each photo and i'm sorry it's 1am i'm simply not going back to find them again #sid #ovi

I will never be able to do the sunset scene justice. I will never be able to recreate the most beautiful, romantic confession, character growth showing, most heart-pouring-out mushy bits you ever did see in a githyanki. Because I.

Am a fool.

Who really wanted a dialogue option asking if keeping an illithid in the squad was gonna be a deal-breaker with this relationship.

Probably woulda ruined the tender moment pitching the piña colada friendship there.

....100% it would.

#baldur's gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #bg3 #bg3 fanart #bg3 comic #lae'zel #greygold #babe's taking that protective love language very seriously #But seriously every conversation with lae'zel during act 3 felt like I was one wrong dialogue option away with her breaking up with me #The dawning horror when you realize the sole joy of your life is trying to befriend your brain-eating mortal enemy #The dawning horror when you realize you've placed all your joy in an optimistically delusional fool #This is probably validating Lae'zel's fear of sharing her heart #because she placed her heart in Greyg and Greyg is now cowabungaing off a cliff into redeem-the-irredeemable-or-die-trying-ville #I'm so sorry Lae'zel kladjfkdjf #remember when I said relationships can get bumpy~?

Genuinely my favorite thing is seeing love on my dash.

Doesn't matter what kind.

Love for a show, love for fictional characters, love for a special interest, love for each other.

Doesn't matter if I don't even know what or who you're talking about.

It's just... something or somebody makes you so happy you can't keep it to yourself and you want to share it with everybody on this silly website, and others add onto that love, and it just keeps on growing?

Yeah. That's what I'm after.

#emynn.op #I'm just reading all these little 💌 responses and clutching my cheeks #the ones for me the ones for my friends the ones for strangers #idk I know there's obviously a lot of shit on here #but I cannot tell you how much I value having a silly little corner of the internet #where people can just share out all the things that bring joy to their lives #and we get to be there with them #makes me happy

Hi! Hope you're having a lovely day ✨️

Valeria and Gaz with a fashion designer s/o! Dressing them up and using them as a practice model to test new designs... this has nothing to do with my need to put Valeria in a suit, ofc not

Anon, you're so galaxy brained for wanting to put Valeria in a suit in all honesty! She'd look so good in one because women always look good in suits!

Gaz and Valeria with a Fashion-Designer!S/O

Gaz: He’d honestly be so flattered you wanna use him as a practice model. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a very pretty man and he’s well aware of that fact, but he didn’t think he’d ever get that sort of privilege. The first time you measure him he’s a bit confused, but complies, asking you with a chuckle about what you’re doing. However, as soon as you present him with a jaw dropping suit that leaves every other one in the dust, he’s a big fan. While he may have supported you from the very beginning as soon as he heard that you’re a designer, his support skyrockets as soon as you present him with the first piece of clothing for him to wear. He feels so very fancy wearing it. He may be used to wearing fancy clothing from time to time when invited to certain occasions, such as weddings, but he never really paid much mind to that sort of thing. Once you’ve put the first article of clothing on him, he’ll ask you if you wanna use him as a practice model again at some point. Only if you feel like it, of course. He hopes you’ll say yes, he loves how creative you are and the things you create. You’re a lovely designer who puts their heart and soul into it all, and it shows. Although unprompted and despite it being a bit silly, he’ll also pose and do that one walk models do where they sway their hips. He feels pretty in your clothing. If he can afford it, which he likely can, then he’ll even buy some of the things you’ve made. And yes, he will 100% wear them as well, doesn’t matter if it’s a fish tail or if it’s a shirt with a dragon on it. He unironically loves it and will wear it whenever he can.

Valeria: She chuckles a bit when you ask her to put on some clothing you made. Valeria is a very attractive woman, and she knows it, so she’s not at all surprised when you ask her to put on a suit. She’s worn those before, and every time she has she was turning heads left and right. If you blush while seeing her in a suit then she’ll chuckle and trap you against the wall before letting you continue whatever it was you were doing. Like Gaz she wholeheartedly supports you, and she’ll own every single article of clothing you’ve ever created. While she may not have the time to wear them all every time, you will catch her wearing your creations from time to time, if there’s no danger of them tearing. Valeria’s glad that you trust her enough to want her to try on all your prototypes and will gladly pose like a professional model for you and you only. The first time you measure her she, too, would be a bit confused and would ask you regarding what you’re doing, but afterwards she’s more than happy to model for you whenever she can. She doesn’t have a whole lot of time for that, but the things you do for love. If you ever want a real, professional model, she can arrange one, though, it’s no problem for someone like her. Besides, she has a pretty good eye for fashion as well, so she can give you some hints regarding what could look good and what might be a complete no go. You don’t have to do as she says, but she will point it out if you do. If she ever does find herself having the time and there’s a fashion show that shows some of your clothing, then she’ll watch it and jokingly tell you that she looked better in your clothes than all those models did. If you ever need some creative inspiration then I’m sure Valeria can help you as well, she’s seen plenty of things and is always more than happy to help you. Besides, she can get just about anything as well, so you really don’t need to fret if you wanna feel the fabric of something yourself.

'I flirted with the idea that instead of being trans that I was just a cross-dresser (a quirk, I thought, that could be quietly folded into an otherwise average life) and that my dysphoria was sexual in nature, and sexual only. And if my feelings were only sexual, then, I wondered, perhaps I wasn’t actually trans.

I had read about a book called The Man Who Would Be Queen, by a Northwestern University professor who believed that transwomen who were attracted to women were really confused fetishists, they wanted to be women to satisfy an autogynephilia. And though I first read about this book in the context of its debunkment and disparagement, I thought about the electricity of slipping on those tights, zipping up those boots, and a stream of guilt followed. Maybe this professor was right, and maybe I was only a fetishist. Not trans, just a misguided boy.

About a year later, on the Internet, I come across a transwoman who added a unique message to the crowd refuting this professor. Oh, I wish I remember who this woman was, and I wish even more that I could do better than paraphrase her, but I remember her saying something like this: “Well, of course I feel sexy putting on women’s clothing and having a woman’s body. If you feel comfortable in your body for the first time, won’t that probably mean it’ll be the first time you feel comfortable, too, with delighting in your body as a sexual thing?”'

-Casey Plett, Consciousness

#this quote always moves me almost to tears when i remember it #i'm not a trans woman and i don't share the author's specific experiences with transition #but it really moves me that she frame transition as joyfully giving yourself permission to approach your body #not as something that has to be disciplined and deprived and made small in all these various ways #but as a means for experiencing pleasure and joy and delight and for insisting that our feelings and desires are worth #valuing and exploring and treasuring #i always used to think of prioritizing those things for myself as selfish and irresponsible #but who does it harm to want to experience pleasure in your own body? #it's such a beautifully simple and powerful switch to have flip in your head #and equally why are we forced to deny our own pleasure in transition and anything else related to our bodies in the name of moral rectitude #this is why i get so confused and pissed off when other trans people are fatphobic for example #like why are you so invested in politics of shame and disgust that never had any purpose other than #violently disciplining people as if they've violated moral codes by existing in a body #to say nothing of white people being racist in gay and trans communities #like again this system of violence is foundational to homophobia and transphobia #so why are you acting like it has nothing to do with you #even if you are unmoved by the urgency of other people's suffering which btw you should be moved by #what do you hope to gain by acting a collaborator and handmaiden to those systems #Casey Plett #she really is one of my favorite authors i wish more non-canadians read her #this quote is from a series of columns she did ont transition and every single one is a banger #i love when she talks about the people-pleasing elements of dysphoria and transition denial #she's so sharp about noting how many of us deny our own dysphoria on the grounds that others like and validate our bodies #that's how i always felt during my cis conventionally feminine era #it pleased other people so much and also that reception felt so hollow and joyless to me because i hated it #i get less of that positive feedback but that feels so unimportant next to the joy and pleasure i get to experience #said with the understanding that i'm very privileged in being able to prioritize those things without fear. but it was a switch flip #personal nonsense

Things about top surgery that I didn't expect (double incision)

It hurt so much less right after waking up than I thought it would, it was similar to pneumonia lung pain like kind of a burning sensation

Wasn't hard or upsetting to get used to my new look!! Also there isn't an ounce of regret in me, I thought I'd have some at least in the first few weeks

I had the posture of a shrimp for like two whole weeks from that compression garment

It itches as it heals which is fucked up bc I can't feel shit in any of it and also when I try to gently pat it to make the itch go away, I can't feel that either so it doesn't help :')

I'm like 5 weeks post-op and I still can't raise my arms above my head gdkdhskhdn

Still reaching for a bra or binder out of habit when getting dressed

It still feels like I'm somehow??? Hiding my chest???? Like when I was still just binding, I still go like "oh this is a good outfit, it hides my chest well" boy you haven't got a chest to hide

The urge to pull out the loose ends of my dissolvable stitches,,,,

#this stayed in my drafts for a while as I went about my recovery and collected them dgkdhdkd #anyway not much reason for it I'm just compiling my thoughts and documenting my experiences #ftm #top surgery #might add onto this as I go #anyway the scabs from my grafts have almost all fallen by now! there's just one tiny bit left #it makes me super happy #I love the way I look #it fills me with this joy and excitement and comfort that I didn't think I'd ever feel about my body #huge shoutout to that one person here on tumblr who helped me through a lot of the process #<3 #also I know my experiences aren't necessarily universal #just thought it'd be cool to share

(plays the butterfly soup 2 epilogue for the 200th time) you know what

#butterfly soup #butterfly soup 2 #ppkm #sketchbook #roi draws #um. idk what the caption is about idk what to say. it's them. it's always them. #something something I can't draw kissing etc and so forth #i think it's so funny in the game how the text is like 'noelle YANKS her in by the shirt' but the cg she's just gently caressing akarsha #anyways the dichotomy of those two actions. personally I believe both happened and such is the essence of ppkm #recently forced my friends to play buttsoup one with me and it was SO fun and we are playing buttsoup 2 this weekend I'm so thrilled. #the joy of sharing something that brings you joy. u know. anyways I've been trying to feel a shred of joy and so I am trying to return #so expect . actually do not expect anything from me . but perhaps I will draw them more if I can get situation simulator 5000tm back on

Thank you to the very talented @kirnet for this gorgeous drawing of Farah. Seeing her with all these flowers makes me smile so much ^^

This was one of Mina's commissions in exchange for a donation to Gaza, which are now closed, but I'm still linking his post here because it contains a link to a similar idea with other artists as well as other important links.

Also a huge thank you to the lovely person who thought of me and passed their commission slot on to me. Thank you so so much, dear friend. I hope you like the flowers!

#please know that your message meant a lot; *you* mean a lot <3 #people have been so incredibly kind and i'm honestly not sure what to say that conveys how much you all mean to me #i'm just really happy to have met such wonderful people through this fandom ❤❤❤ #sharing this here today because it's my birthday and everything about this piece brings me joy #f hauville #twc

i'm just. taking a break from work and thinking about the fact that it's been almost two years since the c2 finale and that campaign still has me in a chokehold. i still think about the wizards all the time, which shouldn't surprise anyone but it's still remarkable. just taking a little moment to be in my feelings about them on main, nothing to see here

#i know it's been crickets on my ao3 for a while but i am still alive #in fact i am going to share a snippet of the one shot i'm working on for wip wednesday if i can remember which day it is for long enough #things might be settling down for me maybe? i got my shit together enough last week to finally decide to go back to therapy #this is probably a subject for another post and not the tags of this one but i can't wait to feel like i'm living again #and not simply surviving #and while writing is an excellent coping mechanism i would also love to experience the joy of creation again #alright back to work with me #thanks for reading my ramblings if you made it this far #i sincerely wish you a lovely timezone

[sketchy-tour]

Its funny that I could feel my WH hyperfixation slowly morph into just my genuine special interest. I worried at first, cause I thought my love for it had died. Because it was duller. But no no. Now it sits comfortably and idly in my mind. Unshaken. Comfortable. At home.

#text post #just rambling #I thought since I wasn't feeling that INTENSE LOVE AND NEED TO CREATE AND CONSUME ART then it meant I was phasing out #but no no. its very much still here. My brain is just now sharing its cake with other interests of mine #WH is currently mingling with and getting to know those other interests of mine in my brain. #I mean because of WH I've picked up OTHER interests! #I have a new found love for puppet media. a resparked appreciation for things whimsical and colorful! #CRAYONS! I BOUGHT CRAYONS! To experience the joy of just...coloring with crayons again! #the impact this project has had on me is hard to put into words. I'm so unbelievably glad I'm getting to watch the story unfold #and enjoy the characters and meet other people who like WH and talk endlessly about it and!!!!! AUGH!!!! I just love it so much! #OKAY IM DONE GUSHING!!!!
