hi it's my birthday you should tell me something nice you did or saw or made recently!

#my Nice Things: #yesterday we bought the BIGGEST most beautiful pomegranate i have ever seen #i have a real computer again so i've been freed from the tyrrany of Google Docs #we watched The One With The Whales on thursday and it remains utterly delightful #we're petsitting for a couple of guinea pigs and it's very fun to have Creatures in the house #and i may have finally cracked what was tripping me up with the next Brassica Heresy chapter! #also the ongoing joy of the Fedco Seeds catalog

I’m sorry for what I said in the tags of the ocean post. I’ll throw myself in the garbage. You can dm me your therapy bills.

But come on. That song.

Won't you fall for me, from reality? To the rhythm of eternity. But then the I am yours to the end, so won't you fall for me?

But then! The oh god I wish you were here. It’s like his timeline is all messed up and he’s thinking of the before and the during and the after all at once.

#cw grief and loss #sometimes I am personally attacked by my own thoughts #but imagine elderly Dew and Rain #quietly existing side by side #Rain reading another true crime novel while Dew noodles away on the guitar #but he can’t for too long because his joints are swollen and arthritic #Rain hears his breath change and knows he’s in pain #gently pries the guitar from him and then rubs the soreness away with his cool fingers #fingers that are now spindly the backs of his hands are like translucent paper with pretty blue age spots #and Dew still thinks they’re the must beautiful thing he’s ever seen #almost as beautiful as his face #and he tells him so and he smiles and all the lines in his face that come from laughter grief joy frustration all crease at ones #the both fall asleep watching some terrible tv show hand in hand on the hideous reclining sofa that Dew insisted they buy #because it’s comfortable and rain thinks it’s so tacky but he secretly agrees that the lumbar support is heavenly #Dew walks faster now that Rain but Rain would never know because Dew will always match his pace and never leave him behind #until he really does have to leave him behind one last time #fuck my entire life

my unfinished symphony 🥲

#ever arts #homare arisugawa #i had such high hopes for this piece #i was very excited about it in the beginning and then i just burnt myself out #looking at it still brings joy but working on it on the other hand… #i did take long breaks and yeah just can’t find it in myself to finish it anymore #working on this taught me a lot of things tho 🫡 like patience and working smarter haha #maybe i’ll revisit this one day #but until then we have this unfinished beauty that i dont really mind #just think of this as an unfinished painting found in the attic or somethin #gosh and this was supposed to be a tasuhoma pic too HAHAHA

[whatsanameanyway]

ok but music is actually the most beautiful thing in every way i’m gonna turn into the sun. music and people and the world and oouyggghhhh

#guy who finally got round to watching the zelda orchestra concert uugghhhfghh #you don’t get it you don’t get it the fucking sheer what humanity??? joy???? love???? in being in a music ensemble like an orchestra #everyone is individuals but right now each person is music as one and we’re all music and the audience are crucial #because you too are the music and for at least one brief moment this is all we are. the sounds and the melody and the rhythms and the music #vvvbvhbbbbvbhbbbvv #cggghjbvvhjjbvb. AAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa #and the music has always been there abd the music will always be there as time continues to pass #there will always be music in any given moment #but the fact that we come together to specifically create and celebrate music is beautiful beyond understanding #and the truth is there’s music in everything ever because every living thing has some intrinsic level of rhythm and melody #the way you walk. the way the wind blows the sound of your voice the birds singing the sound the leaves make the rain on a shelter #it’s all music. it’s all song #anyway i’m gonna go explode or something gbjbvvghjffch music music i love you music #ezra likes music #<- nee fucking way

you know the piece of art in my last rb made me realize why i dislike most disability related art. and it's that a large portion of it (especially on here) has messaging about ableism. like in the art itself it will have quotes regarding ableism. which is cool and fine, but i am SO tired of the constant trauma and reminders of trauma around my physical disabilities. for once i want to see someone like me just exist. i want to see them happy and peaceful.

it reminds me of how people finally started to view LGBTQ trauma p*rn movies. we as queer people are traumatized constantly. ENOUGH media about queer trauma. where is the queer JOY?

i feel exactly the same about disability portrayed in media/art and otherwise. where is the JOY?

#might make some art about it if i ever get the energy/motivation but yeah #i want to see people like me in beautiful settings and portrayals. i want us to be attractive #i want us to be romantic and playful and passionate and friendly #disability stuff #cpunk #tagging as cpunk bc one of the most punk things you can do is be happy and authentic in spite of + #the ways society treats you #chatter #disabled joy

I know I have terminal insane silly brain disease and my feelings on this matter will change in probably the next 5 minutes but like

Damn I am funny and hot and generally trying to be kindhearted and good, and my teasing and flirting and emotional rambling, which is maybe Too Much at times, is still a privilege and a blessing, not a burden, to the people around me

#the duality of fran #i say teasing and flirting but its not even necessarily romantic #my flirting is indistinguishable from my platonic affection because i cant comprehend ever falling for someone who's not a friend first #dating apps??? could not be me. (reason 237384883 im single) #but anyway! i love you! if youre reading this yes you! #standing invitation to come flirt or joke or tease or yell passionately about both silly and also serious things in my inbox always #i contain MULTITUDES and tbh!!! most of them are pretty great!!! #yes everything is bad and I'm work stressed and ive had a 5 day long tummy ache and headache #and its a zillion degrees and the ac is broken and i cant wear short sleeves bc my boss hates tattoos #and id rather not have to open that can of worms with HR #and im so so so so tired and my meeting is tmrw and i havent prepped #and also im having mad scruples and idk if its like the normal flavour or it means smthn #unsettling confession dreams. i try not to read into them bc i have the connect everything to make meaning disease #and it fuels my ocd #but oh boy we live in a but what if state of being #However. maybe sometimes the but what if can be good #but what if things work out. what if love and kindness find you. what if there is joy and beauty not just despite but because of the horrors #what if all shall be well at the end of all things

[aha-my-villainous-thoughts]

ASH! There is no one like you. Your art is so BOLD and creative and genuinely awe-inspiring. I admire all the slutty, slutty things you make Ed and Stede get up to, while also making them look so pretty and colorful. So glad we have you in this fandom. 💕

I seriously don't have words 😭😭😭😭 have some memes instead 😭😭😭💖🧡💚💙💜💖

Thank you so much marianne!!! 😭💖💜💙💚💛🧡❤️💖😭

#honestly this ask might have broken me a little #i have an unhealthy amount of imposer syndrome #and a general anxiety of shyness around my mutuals and any kind of audience #I'm desperate to make things and share them and i love more than anything hearing people love the things i make as much as i do #I've been in fandom spaces for a really long time #(bitch is old) #and ive never been uplifted like i have by the ofmd fandom 💜💜💜 #I've had my work stolen or traced in previous fandoms #bullied or harassed or made to feel pathetic #and more often than that I've been kinda on my own in a little corner making stuff and easy to ignore/forget #i have a lot of fear about being unwanted or discarded or upsetting people #i just love to draw and get my little rainbow brainworms out into my art #and i love sharing them #and for so long that really was enough #it truly was #but after OFMD? after this crew? after this space of warmth and excitement and growth and queer joy?? #finding connections and making friends and clowning with you and drawing prompts and making memes and being in big bangs and zines?! #getting to illustrate fics and have my art inspire fics?? making friends with my mutuals who write and draw and make beautiful gifs?! #this has been the most fun ive ever had on the internet #and im so grateful #and overwhelmed #and thankful #and just everything altogether all at once #thank you so much

I'm not super attached to either camp, but these are *wild*. I'm glad they're making you laugh because that's all you can do with shit this bonkers.

I hadn't considered the whitewashing side of things until you pointed it out, but it makes a lot of sense and I agree with you that promoting only European beauty standards is wildly harmful, but I'm only tangentially in the fandom (a lot of the tags and dynamics I like are in the fandom, but I've only got casual show knowledge) so I don't feel strongly about *this particular character*. I applaud and respect the line you're holding, however, as it's so important.

Not super relevant, but related: I've actually always wanted brown eyes. I spent all of my single digit years wanting to look like Belle, since Beauty and the Beast is my favourite movie. I think they're lovely, and I'm always happy to see more animated characters with them.

hell yeah!! you and me are the same bestie i cannot count the amount of fandoms i’ve been in without touching one iota of canon. i haven’t even watched all of voltron and i don’t care to lol. and yeah the whitewashing thing had to be pointed out to me too, as have a few other things i’ve been grateful to be made aware of. and i FEEL you belle is so beautiful actually and so is every other brown eyed character to ever be drawn ppl are just haters

#have y’all ever seen edits with brown eyed allura bc i cried in joy #she’s the most beautiful thing i have ever laid eyes on #ask

It was a struggle to keep her tone even, a mocking little cough escaping her instead ❝ Hmm, let me see if I have this correct, you claim to have visited the luminous missing plain, which disappeared at the dawn of time, hence the name, not just once but on three different occasions? ... well you're certainly older than the average student intake dear, but I doubt you're that old and seeing as the possession and/or use of time travel is a class 9 felony to everyone bar those at the time agency, of which you're certainly not a member, you've made that quite clear... ❞ She paused, feigning another cough while she fiddled with the sleeve of her dress in an effort to discreetly hide the vortex manipulator strapped to her wrist. When this mysterious stranger had turned up at the back of the lecture hall this morning, admittedly she'd disregarded everything about him except his curious sense of style. But when he had interrupted her speech? Disrupted his fellow students learning? Well, now she just had to say something. No, this wouldn't do at all. River watched absentmindedly as the last of her students shuffled out into the hallway for a few moments before she rose to her feet in an effort to do the same. No doubt the rest of her colleagues had got wind of what had happened. She was going to have to move fast to do damage control or else she'd be spending the next three weeks hearing all about how 'Professor Song let a student get the better of her in her own classroom' every time she stepped into the faculty lounge. She ran a tight ship, no room for errors or in this case, unwarranted interruptions. Gathering her things, River shot him a grim smile, ❝ ... Naturally I have to conclude you're exaggerating in hopes of a better grade. let me put your mind at ease there Mr Smith, I dont offer extra credit to liars, at least, not unless they're good liars. ❞

#jessamine rambles #before i start. pls keep in mind that this is fully subjective and could just be a 'me' problem. i just want to get this off my chest #ngl i've been contemplating on whether i want to stop playing obey me. both the og game and nightbringer #idk i've been playing the game since its first month and while it's given me a lot of joy + memories + chances to befriend other ppl. i'm #pretty burned out. not to mention TIRED of my consistent disappointment with the game #the main story.....where do i start?? i actually enjoyed s1-s3 despite my qualms with the fillers and pacing but s4 disappointed me. i was #rlly looking forward to simeon's storyline and the new characters but ultimately. the devs tried to squeeze too many things into one season #not to mention that there is a notable difference in how the characters are written. i.e. beel's hunger and asmo's beauty #being watered down to running gags instead of the complexities explored in the old dg stories and chara songs #gameplay-wise. i was there when the devs raised the rewards price of the event urs and removed the demon ssrs completely #but nightbringer was the last straw for me. the amount of time it takes to grind for two games. knowing that the og app has essentially bee #abandoned by the devs?? not to mention that while the plot is interesting. i haven't touched the main story ever since the coma arc #i will give credit to the devs for improving the event stories by choosing to focus on 1-2 demons. but it has always felt like a quantity > #quality situation. esp if i were to compare it to my other fandoms #it also doesn't help that i'm currently at a point of my life where i'm questioning if i could use my time on obm for better things #seeing how the game is giving me less reasons to believe it is worth my time #idk this may also be a short-term phase since i DID get back into twst after a long hiatus and i recently got into whb #which btw has felt like a breath of fresh air despite my frustrations with the bugs and current gacha #but yeahhhh........as much as i love the obm characters and fanfics. i'm just tired #at this point i feel like the only reason why i still play the game is due to the nostalgia and so i don't waste the years of grinding #aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh #this is what i get for being the type of player who only plays a few games so they can rlly dedicate their time and passion to it #that's all

It's been a little over a year on T :)

#its scary. hard. lost access to it. have felt the ugliest and most beautiful ive ever been while taking it. cried when i got back on it. #it kinda feels like the one thing in my life I've ever done for just me #id happily do it all over again for the joy i feel when i feel as myself

[pepprs]

i love critters and creatures and beings and beasts. GRIPS you with my fists.

#purrs #when left to my own devices all day long i cycle between games. tending to my creatures. collecting more creatures. i LOVE creatures!!!!!!!! #i think im going to allow myself to get into pikmin and see what happens. i LOVE spiralling into media about creatures to avoid and ignore #my life problems which are building in scale and intensity. and i mean that not in a depressing way but in like… truly a joyful way. it’s #maybe silly at 24 but im indulging my childhood self and she is having an absolute BLAST. these little creatures bring me so much joy. i #love making creatures and naming creatures and collecting creatures and creating beautiful places for them to live. i love my pokemon and my #livlies and my animal jam avatars and my two little pikmin in pikmin bloom. i love my ocs i love everybody’s ocs. creatures made of #pixels forever and ever and ever rule the world <3 #i love my wobbledogs i love the things ive made in thingdom i love my among us bean i love every jamsouls and ilomilo character. peace and l #love on planet earth!!!!!!!!!

If I hadn’t gone straight home this morning a tattoo artist not *that* far but still several hours away a bit annoying to get to had a script sale on for today and I absolutely would’ve thrown caution to the wind and gotten one of the lines I really want to have done done 😭

#shatters’ fragments #I still have Phobia about needles and the ink being under my skin #but I also want to make my body a home for myself and part of that has always been thinking I want to be fairly covered in tattoos #I want to have things that make me happy #I want to have things that are beautiful and also make me happy #I want (the happier) reminders (also the less so ones but. irrelevant right now we’re chasing JOY rn) #and I’ve wanted them. well. ever since I saw tattoos to the best of my knowledge. at the very least over a decade for sure. #and even though there’s a chance I just. can’t deal with the healing process. I really hope I can
