As an autistic person with depression, chronic pain and chronic illness there is something so insidious about the way they talk about Gale. He’s annoying? Great. So am I. He consumes resources to keep him alive and in less pain? Yeah. Me too. The right thing is for him to die? Uh. Okay then. Cool cool cool. That’s great. Awesome thing to hear about a character I strongly identify with.
yes, absolutely and that is the crux of the issue, really.
that is exactly why these people - and again, these aren't students giving their first presentations, these are devs and industry veterans - who have these massive platforms and are often regarded as authorities of their creations should handle interviews like this with more grace, empathy and understanding.
and they've shown that they can do that. in the very same interview. with most their other characters.
So here it is boys and girls, my first book I wrote and let me tell you... As someone who has a broken heart herself right now... I literally kind of put a lot of my own pain in this. But instead of harsh reality, this should leave you with a big smile and a warm and fuzzy feeling in the end. You might also want to strangle or slap these two idiots occacionally, maybe you'll also have a chuckle and later on it might even get spicy 🤭 So definitely not safe for work peeps...
But in the end... well, you'll see. 🤗 So get yourself a nice cup of coffee or tea, snuggle in and get yourself a treat with my two idiots Jasper and Oliver. 😊
Have a look here~
Oh and for anyone who is interested, I also made the cover myself. What do you guys think? I might change it later on, as I can never settle for just one 🤭 lol... anyway. For now I very much like it. Have fun!
for like 3 weeks i was wondering why i was sleeping so much and felt listless. and just now I managed to email 3 people and responded to a month old message in the span of an hour because I got back to TAKING MY FUCKIN MEDS..........
Hey!!! Just wanted to pop in and say that we completely understand you needing to take a break from writing for tumblr atm. Insecurity is a real bitch and I want you to know that I’ve always felt your writing was some of the most enjoyable stuff I’ve ever read. I hope that the things you’re busy with don’t overwhelm you and you make sure to take good care of yourself <3
this is so sweet and means a whole lot, thanks bb~ i'll try🥹💞
i get so frustrated with ppl who wont just fucking help themselvessss. obviously theres a spectrum of pain and subsequent ability when it comes to mental illness but ive known so many people specifically gay people who let themselves live in squalor all while going to therapy taking medication and claiming to take care of themselves. thats the thing self care is NOT doing nothing, self care is actually doing the dishes sorry. its taking the trash out. calling the doctor and making an appointment. being an ADULT. i live with two people in their mid to late 20s who only do a chore once every few weeks and if i ever deign to bring it up i get either aggressive or apologetic responses about depression and struggle. as if im not constantly struggling. i force myself to do things bc they make me feel better… me and you are not all that different. ignoring your human life maintenance or outsourcing it to other ppl is the biggest form of self harm thats become normalized in certain communities
Starmora is still canon, stop sinking your own ship
I'm not sure why people are mad or sad about the way Gunn "ended" the Starmora relationship? It's not over, it just went through a natural resting point after all of the stuff that happened in the plot???
Because even if the characters don't share a screen anymore, that doesn't mean it's over. That doesn't mean that love can't happen twice. Gunn has laid the groundwork - you can see it if you're looking at the characters.
Gamora has always been subtle. but she commits. She puts her whole traumatized heart into something if she believes that it's the right thing. She was raised by Freaking Thanos - she was (kinda) fine with him killing half the population but when Ronan wanted All of Xandar killed she Bolted. Betrayed Ronan and by proxy Thanos and Nebula.
After Endgame, she knows how to reach the Guardians if she wanted to. Heck, she's been talking with Nebula who respects that enough to only bring her on a mission that could kill a Guardian and end their found family.
About 75% of Gamora's lines are her denying that she's the same person. She's clearly pissed as hell that Peter is trying to "bring her back" when it's clear to her that she's fine without the Guardians.
At the end of the movie, if she wanted to be on the same team as Peter, she would have stayed on Knowhere. If she never wanted to see Peter again, she wouldn't have said anything.
By saying "I bet we were fun" its a signal to both Peter AND the audience that she is fine to stay in contact. That she acknowledges that her love with Peter could happen again.
As for Peter...
Peter loves HARD. He's never been subtle about it. He's never been subtle about feelings; happy, sad, angry, romantic - he boosts them up and uses them as a distraction, makes others think he's not sharp as an arrow.
He values Gamora's choices. We see him flirting at Knowhere, she pulls a knife on him and he doesn't directly flirt again for a while. You see that in Vol 2 when he's patient about her having feelings. He SHOT HER in Infinity War because she told him to. She's dead but she knows - she knows that's love.
We know he respects her choices in all situations...except in Vol 3. He's more childish and clingy especially compared to the other Guardians - they don't try as hard as Peter does to get her back. I feel like this is justified; he's already heavily traumatized from Infinity War and as acknowledged in the movie(!) Peter is dependent on Gamora in a way that the other Guardians aren't.
And with Vol 3, he's lost that part of him. He just wants "his Gamora" back. And it's cringy and sad and messed up.
You can parallel it to Thanos, who just saw "his little one", a daughter he trained to be a weapon and didn't acknowledge as a person. You can parallel it to the High Evolutionary, who wants his creations "perfect" and only sees Rocket as a failure that needs to be utterly destroyed.
(yeah it's a theme, its kickass writing, it's *chefs kiss* thank you mr. Gunn for tying this all up with a big fancy bow)
Peter is stronger than both of them. Able to move past what he thinks he needs and see Gamora as she is now instead of as he wants her to be.
"Like you wouldn't believe." He finally has something in his past that is complicated but at the end of the day, he can smile about it. An ending he can be at peace with.
Both of them know that they are not the same people that met on Xandar outside the pawn broker's shop. Fighting over their ticket out from under Yondu and Thanos.
But they know they could be good to each other again. It's just going to take some time apart.
Amigos, Nina's, Nino's, Friends, Ect,
Your artstyle doesnt need to be anything you dont want it to be.
You wanna not make noses? Dont make noses
You wanna make your hands balls because you absolutely hate drawing hands because they're so annoying? go for it,
You wanna give them arm hair, Leg hair, ect, Beards, go for it.
You wanna make them have no feet??? go for it
It doesnt matter, Its your choice, no matter what "Critics" say, if you dont agree, then dont strive to change your art unless you want to change it.
People should never call your artstyle "Bad" Art is subjective, and everyones art is unique. And you should never be ashamed of your abilitys.
I mean, look at my art from several years ago when i had just started.
(YES. THAT IS BALDI. O_O the real ones remember sketch!!/j)
We all learn at different paces, and we all grow in different ways, Please be more confident in yourself and ignore stupid people.
They're just upset they cant draw, Or they're bullies who are so insecure that they have to make fun of others to feel like they're "Superior" Or "Better than you" Which they aren't.
Remember to be kind to young artists, And to encourage them! If you dont, and you mock them.. (This doesnt apply if they're doing something wrong like incest, ect FYI.) Then they might be discouraged and they might quit art, because of your actions. And i know tumblrs community is better than that, We should uplift artists, make sure they know their art is as best as it can be currently.
Practice helps, but perfection is a myth.
Treat people how you want to be treated.
