#all that was not spent in vain

[uncanny-tranny]

You survived this year. You made it, I hope you find solace in the recognition that you have done it.

However last year went, know that you've made it. May this new year bring you comfort, joy, peace, and thriving.

#positivity #encouragment #encouraging words #yes i hope you have been able to do more than sirvive... but surviving isn't bad. it's scary and exhausting sometimes... #...but if all you could do is survive... know that you've not 'wasted' 2023. your time spent here wasn't in vain #your time spent on this earth hasn't been wasted and i hope nobody feels that they've squandered this past year #yes if all you can do is survive... please do that. i hope though that you are given the opportunity to thrive

Me when I remember that Snape would’ve not only been much happier in life but would have so many less tiring debates about him if he had just remained a loyal Death Eater instead of defecting and sacrificing himself for a world that hated him while getting nothing in return:

#LIKE BRO #HE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH MORE RELAXED #MANS SPENT 17 YEARS STUCK IN A PLACE FILLED WITH SO MUCH TRAUMA WHILE BEING SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO HATED HIM #LILY ENDED UP DYING AND SNAPE DIED THINKING HARRY WAS GOING TO DIE TOO (HE DIED NEVER KNOWING THAT HARRY WAS A HORCRUX) #MEANING LILY’S SACRIFICE WAS IN VAIN AND HE SPENT HALF HIS LIFE GOING THROUGH SO MANY LENGTHS FOR NOTHING #AND HE WAS WILLING TO DIE A VILLAIN IN EVERYONE’S EYES IF IT MEANT LILY’S SON COULD LIVE #IF HE GAVE LILS THE MIDDLE FINGER HE WOULDA JUST GONE AWAY AND DID DEATH EATER SHIT WITHOUT HAVING A CARE IN THE WORLD #AND STUPID SNATERS WOULDN’T FEEL THE NEED TO ‘‘clarify’’ THAT HE WAS A BULLY AND A HORRIBLE PERSON #BECAUSE THEN WE’D JUST KNOW AND ACCEPT THAT HE’S AWFUL LIKE WE DO WITH BELLATRIX AND TOMMY #AND THEREFORE SNAPE FANS WOULDN’T BE CALLED ‘‘abuse apologists’’ OR ATTACKED FOR THE MERE MENTION OF HIS NAME #ALL OF US WOULD BENEFIT FROM IT IF SEVERUS JUST CHOSE NOT TO BE A HERO #i apologise for the rant i’m just very fed up with this dude #stop caring about some loser redhead AND DABBLE IN SOME SELF-CARE FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE #smfh #again i apologise #and if you came this far i’m just downright surprised #anti snaters #severus snape #pro snape #pro severus snape #snape #harry potter #hp

little dipper drew yellow triangle man and kept saying he hates the man to parents when they asked him about it

inspired by reincarnation au

#they decided it was his imaginary friend #many kids have them right??? #also this piece is a year old i think #it was finished and all #but i didn't know what to put in speech bubbles #could not not post it because i spent time looking at pictures of children #it was such a pain #god children are hideous #my sufferings were not in vain dipper turned out better than i expected #but i think he looks older than he supposed to be #i don't know what size children should be when they can walk but not talk #i remember it was mentioned bill once dropped dipper when found him sooner than he should have #i want it to be true in one of dipper's reincarnations just for the sake of dipper confronting bill about it #why is there a much bigger gap between his reincarnations this time huh #billdip #tswwwit

With what we've seen from the show with Splinters canonic dysmorphia, and also the hints that Raph probably raised the boys more than Splinter did, and see how much stress Raph carries, How Donnie and Leo want more attention and praise (Donnie from a parent aged adult, Leo I think in general) and Mikey craves familial closeness (no hate on him he was clearly going through some shit with depression and being turned into a rat but still!), so does that mean, in your Separated AU, that Leo had to practically raise himself with a practically absent father?

Love your drawings btw.

Oops.

Aha,,,, yeah. (.‿.);; A father in distress, no Big Brother to help parent, no Little Brother too cook, no Twin Brother to make sure they have comfort,,,

I really did start this au so I could put a twist on the whole separated thing, but uhhhh…. Yeah. I really unintentionally screwed Leo over….. 😅😅

#Leo knew he had brothers and spent his whole life searching for them #my intention was that it’d make him more like other Leo’s. like. serious. and singleminded. #but I think finding out his brothers all had happy healthy childhoods would break him pretty quickly. :( #in the same vain. when they all find each other and it’s clear Leo had the worst childhood THAT fucks splinter UP #ooh u thought he was having a rough time before? imagine finding out your 3 arch nemeses were all better parents than you. 🥲 #parent trap au #my art #tmnt art #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rise leo

oughsjn.. project sekai.......

#my silly miku game means the world to me it makes me so happy i actually get overwhelmed sometimes #THE CHARACTERS... AND ALL THEIR RELATIONSHIPS... ARE SO FUCKING GOOD... AAUAGHHH #burn my soul was amazing because of the amount of father-child time we got with ken and akito. like #ken is so important to akito. because he's the father he never got to have...! #because shinei is a[The rest of this tag has been censored due to violently obscene material.] #and ken happily took him under his wing and has treated him with nothing but the utmost patience and love and kindness. #and like that's another reason why surpassing rad weekend is so important to akito #it's his way of expressing his gratitude for everything ken has done for him...! from simply putting on rw in the first place #to stopping and talking him down from his spiral after the crawl green incident #he wants to show ken that the time he's spent supporting him wasn't all in vain. #anyway. applejack and i are going to the mental hospital forever niw

here it is, my magnum opus, matsunaga temma + text posts (and some tweets)

#urbangarde #temma matsunaga #matsunaga temma #<- tagging in vain hope that other overseas fans exist #i spent all day on this god help me. and i'd make more.

That was probably my last fanfic for a while. Just so everyone knows. rambling in the tags for the curious.

#grems know bc ive been moaning about it but writing takes a lot out of me especially because im unmedicated #im out of ideas for narumitsu and writing for franmaya to dramatically less audience is fucking depressing #it's not that i dont appreciate the interaction i DO get it's just that i want to write franmaya and it seems like nobody cares about it #i dont care if that makes me vain or overly dependent on flattery or a bad writer. maybe that's true. #i have come a long long way on not needing outside validation but that doesnt change the fact that writing for a void is depressing #any fics i write are already written for my friends at this point and published for my own sense of self satisfaction #but all my ideas left are franmaya + very long and very involved and i just dont have it in me anymore #if you like my writing then please follow my game dev account #it's @sadghoststudios everywhere #i want to write something that fulfils me and is worth my time and maybe fanfiction isnt that anymore #and im working on some game stuff that is gonna be really awesome. it deserves to be my primary project for once #hashtag promo if you like AA you'll like what im working on :))))) sigh #i have a great catalog of fics im really proud of. and i dont regret a second i spent writing them #but i think i'm done. for now at least #sorry. thanks for everything

When you're not staying up past your bedtime tell us your thoughts about checking up on people via social media!

Thank you for indulging me this long weekend why would you do this

Warning I'm gonna be pathetic because i am still grieving a nine year relationship and grieving, especially in this context, feels so UNDIGNIFIED. Also its my grieving thoughts about the socials thing not like well srticulated thoughts about the socials with some grieving mixed in. I just have a lot of feelings and i need to get them out.

1. Like, ultimately don't. Its not helpful at all i think. Unless if literally is just idle curiosity about what happened to someone in your class from ten years ago and you actually dont care what you find.

2. I am experiencing the urge to check up on my ex CONSTANTLY. (They do not really use social media this doesnt amount to much btw). I understand why people be lurking on someones insta or whatever to see what theyve been up to. Sometimes you hope theyre failing and miserable because they did you wrong and you want to feel validated. In my particular case i am worried, and i miss them. There are no posts for me to see or wonder about so this is useless but i think i also want to see that my ex is sad (because i was important to him for such a long time) but also, not like, too sad. And I'm fantasising about him sort of DOing something about it. I want to see what he's up to. Is is dancing? Is he injured? Is he Making? Is he finding small joys in life like hanging out with friends or seeing a cute creature on a walk? Seeing posts about these things would not help me! Because i would likely assume he was not sad, then i would feel angry and bitter and disappointed in myself for wasting my time. We dont share when we are sad (or why) on socials. I am NEVER going to see a post that effectively says "my smart and beautiful and extraordinary girlfriend of 9 years left me, and I am sad i couldn't be what she needed. I miss her a lot and wish i could have showed her this garden i saw today, she would have loved it. I will never forget her and dont know how to be okay with this". No one is going to see that. But ultimately i think we check up on people because what we want to see is some variation of that, so we can feel validated and know that they UNDERSTAND how were feeling.

Because this is tumblr I have made stupid posts a bit like this! I miss him all the time, i made a facebook post about a doco that I watched in the hopes that he would see it and watch it, because i think he'd like all the adorable english woodland creatures. This is also stupid! As are posts showing how well youre doing in hopes ypur ex seems them and feels stupid. Devoting this much energy to a game in your head where you will never get an outcome that satisfies you cannot help you move on or heal. But i do think its weird that we look for any possible thread that tied us to people we are without, even the terrible online ones that can never retie us! We talk to gravestones like the dead can hear us. I am currently checking my mailbox every day for a letter that might not ever arrive, and even if it does it sure and shit wont contain any information that helps me live my new single life where no one thinks I'm special, and there's no one I'm 100% comfortable to be all of myself around and who I dont get tired of being with.

I will never know if he saw the fb post, let alone watched and had opinions on the doco I talked about. Knowing wont help. He knew i have a tumblr but i dont think he'd go through it as its a huge pile of memes and stuff he wouldnt understand to look for 3 things that say im sad. And again, knowing I'm sad won't help.

Normally im very good at being like "well this is unproductive/not the best course of action" and then, you know, STOPPING but unfortunately I will continue to wonder how he is and what hes up to and cling to actually unreasonable, unfounded fantasies of what happens IF he sees.

Anyway this is a long vent that basically says i think i get why people do it now but ultimately it will never bring the carthsis we hope for (:

He knew i had a tumblr but I dont think he's checking up on me coz. Whats the point. Its a lot of stupid memes for 3 im sad posts. Which accomplish nothing as discussed.

#its been...just under 3 months since the break up? #and I am still so so caught up in the fact thst the last weekend we spent together before he flew home was nice #he felt the pressure was off so he could just do what he wanted #which was talk more and answer questions and be more affectionate #which is all i ever wanted in the first place!! #and after all that time together he was still more scared of moving in any direction and it being wrong #than he trusted that i would treat him with kindness and respect and understanding no matter what he did #i dont think it'll ever not hurt that when booking plane tickets (a few months before) he couldnt decide between #spending an extra day with me and a ten dollar cheaper fare #not because he didnt like me but because he was frozen by the possibility of there being a wrong choice #and like there is if the reasoning isnt 'i have to be back for a significant event' and is IS 'i dont actually want to spend time with you' #then hiding that through indecision does no one any favours #unfortunately my biggest regret now is that i was uglu crying at the airport when we kissed goodbye for the last time #its very vain but i worry he will remember me like that #i could barely stand i was so upset!!! and i am concerned about my looks and keeping a man :'( #highly pathetic you were warned #anyway i miss him and i am afraid he is alone and sad and i cannot help

ok that birdie game (bird version of wordle) is real fun and also I somehow guessed todays bird in two guesses

#literally it was a tail shot and I was like hmm maybe I'll throw a random bird out there who even knows #and IT WAS THAT TYPE OF BIRD JUST NOT THE RIGHT SPECIES #and then i guessed it the second try #long hours spent looking at birds in the bird book as a 7 year old were not in vain. this is what it all leads up to

I know this probably makes me a bad person but being bullied over my nose has never left me. I hate my nose and I wish it was smaller and if I could afford cosmetic surgery I would get it

#like yeah obviously being bullied for basically all of my years in school would impact me but i feel guilty about it #i hated my teeth and i know i never would have been happy about them if i hadnt gotten braces. like it WAS medically necessary but #even if it wasnt #i know i still would have never felt happy or confident with crooked teeth and a severe overbite #when i say i got bullied for every little insignificant thing i am being so serious #people i considered friends talked behind my back about how ugly they thought i was and i would find out from people i wasnt as close with #the weirdest thing that probably seems so stupid is the one (1) time i wore shorts bc it was fucking hot and we had a day #at school where we spent it all outside #some guy made fun of me for the way my legs and knees look #i realize its not nearly as bad as fat people have it but i was bullied for being very skinny and for the way my body looked #i cant see myself ever being genuinely confident in any part of myself now lol #and i have so many body image issues that i wont go into #i try to shift my mind to the same place as all these body positive posts and i completely believe them in the case of anyone that isnt me #i know this probably makes me vain and a bad person but what can i do really lol #miles rambles

coming to terms with the fact i'm never going to be happy with my hair again :/

#last spring i was really happy with my hair being shoulder length and i considering growing it out even longer bc i missed doing updos #HOWEVER i was going to be in a june wedding where all members of the bridal party were responsible for their own hair styling #and i decided cutting my hair short again was easier than trying to figure out how to do a formal look on my midlength hair #i was like whatever my hair grows super fast. it'll be long again in a few months #as a consequence i've spent nearly an entire year absolutely loathing how my short my hair was #so i should be excited that my hair is finally past my collarbones again right? #I'M NOT #i hate it almost as much as i hated my short hair last summer #i hate it so much i'm tempted to cut it shorted than ever #except i'll probably end up hating that too #i'm so fucking vain i'm going to lobomotize myself if i can't find some kind of solution soon #truly what is the point of being alive if my hair doesnt look nice
