#beauty in the struggle

“Did you see the way that little girl looked at me? Kids. Little kids. They grow up believing that they can be a hero if they drive a sword into the heart of anything different. And I’m the monster? I don’t know what’s scarier. The fact that everyone in this kingdom wants to run a sword through my heart or that sometimes I just wanna let ‘em.” “We have to get you out of here. Over the wall. We won’t stop until we find some place safe, okay? We’ll go. Together. No matter what we do, we can’t change the way people see us.” “You changed the way you see me... Didn’t you?

NIMONA (2023), based on the comic by ND Stevenson, who came out as transgender in 2022

She's as real as it gets and there ain't no way around it

There's a road that's been through hell and she's been down it

She's been mistreated, she's been lied to, she's seen her share of trouble

But that girl, she's the beauty in this trouble

✨,❤️&✌🏼

Horse Meshi. Delicious, in Horse.

#dungeon meshi #laois touden #marcille donato #senshi #chilchuk tims #Anne II #I am over a week late to make this relevant but dear god I love the kelpie chapter. #if not for the several layers of foreshadowing then the reveal that nearly everyone in the party is a passionate horse lover. #Truly the best part of dungeon meshi is the sheer love of horses each character has. Fantastic equines by Ryoko Kui. #Chilchuck gets to be a little wary given what goes down in the bicorn chapter. #Rest in peace Anne I and Anne II. You were beautiful horses. #The pain I felt upon re-reading dungeon meshi and realizing that Senshi called the kelpie Anne...Hurts bad! #By the way I have strong feeling about MLP AU with these characters - but I would like to assert that Senshi is earth pony coded #and chilchuck is pegasus coded. I was struggling to draw my vision and went with whatever my pen chose. #Laios is a griffin because...come on if he made a MLP AU of his friends he would be nothing else.

if you dance, I’ll dance

and if you don’t, I’ll dance anyway

#good omens #aziracrow #ineffable husbands #it’s beautiful to me that not only is Say Yes To Heaven a genuinely fitting Aziracrow song #it’s ironically better from Crowley’s perspective where /Heaven/ and /Me/ are diametric opposites >:] #anyway every time I’m struggling with art I have to remind myself that I was made to draw cute shapes godddddd it can all be so easy

It's in the places where we're the most uncomfortable that we receive our biggest blessings

#sometimes I look at the way God designed things to work and I gotta laugh #cuz you coulda made our nature not go against the opposite of how You want us to live #it's not like we already existed when You got here and You couldn't change our nature. like You were here first AND You created us 🤣 #talking about it's not hard yet we were created to be naturally wired to think sin and wickedness are easier and more satisfying #this is some hard work y'all. sometimes I just gotta laugh in despair and hope God makes me change cuz I cannot do it myself #God #Jesus #c #hristianity #faith #against our nature #do not want an easy life #beauty in the struggle #suffer for God #you must endure #spiritual growth #self improvement #betterment #edification #labor for the Lord

discussing brucie wayne in heeled oxfords with my husband and they brought up some excellent points:

batman and brucie wayne can't be the same height so only one of them can wear heels

batman needs to be intimidating so he should be taller, so he should have the lifts

this prevents brucie wayne in glamorous heeled loafers :((

the solution i propose: brucie wayne gets his heels, batman wears fuckoff high platforms

my husband then of course saw an excellent opportunity for one of the rogues to notice and message the group chat telling everyone to bully batman for being insecure about his height

we decided this culminated in Harley tweeting "batman, are you insecure about your height because of toxic masculinity or a deep rooted fear of inferiority in any measure?" and one of the robins replying "those are his hooves you bitch"

#my husband feels its important you all should know i struggled with spelling inferiority #inferirority 😔 #dc #dc comics #dc universe #brucie wayne #bruce wayne #batman #dc robin #batman rouges gallery #love my beautiful husband who stopped breathing for a minute laughing at this

IAN GALLAGHER + his journey with bipolar disorder

╰┈➤ “At times, being bipolar can be an all-consuming challenge, requiring a lot of stamina and even more courage, so if you’re living with this illness and functioning at all, it’s something to be proud of, not ashamed of." - Carrie Fisher

#happy world bipolar day to all my bp babies #(more thoughts at the end of the tags) #shameless #shamelessnet #shamelessedit #ian gallagher #cameron monaghan #*macygifs #bipolar disorder #hello pals how are we doin #i made this gif set in july of 2023 and never posted it because 1) i was terrified to share it and potentially see Bad Takes in the tags #and 2) because my hyperfixation was waning. and while both of those things are still mostly true (the fixation comes and goes) #i feel like it's really important to share as ian's bipolar storyline was not only so vital to his character it was a bit of representation #that isn't often given to the disorder and those (like myself) who live with it every single day #world bipolar day is a day where we can both celebrate ourselves and our resilience and also raise awareness of the reality of the disorder #which is both terrifying and beautiful at its core. this disease is not a death sentence or a sentence to an unfulfilled and miserable life #while there are challenges galore when it comes to balancing life with this disorder it IS possible to live a full and productive life #and i think it's really important to have representation of that in media - and while shameless dropped the ball on a LOT of storylines #over the years THIS is the one they really fucking nailed and i am incredibly grateful #i first started watching shameless while in the midst of a major depressive episode and i was later (finally) diagnosed during an extended #hypo/manic episode - this show and ian's storyline got me through so much and made me feel so seen and validated in my struggles #world bipolar day is also vincent van gogh's birthday (happy birthday buddy) who was posthumously diagnosed with bipolar disorder #and who experienced both depressive and hypo/manic episodes during his lifetime (and was regularly institutionalized) #it takes a lot of help and support to keep us going. it takes the support of our family and friends and *most* of all #it takes patience and kindness and understanding - which is so so so easy to give if you are willing to love and listen #so please. be willing. listen to our stories. be patient with us. show us love without conditions. support us in any way you can. #we are worth it #i promise #anyway. that's really all i wanted to say. happy world bipolar day to those who celebrate (me) and may all of us living with this disorder #go on to live happy fulfilling beautiful magical lives

"You've been hurting so much, and for so long… Please, let me soothe your pain."

-

There was a scenario I had imagined in which Mario would suffer emotional trauma and keep it to himself to the point of becoming depressed, growing more distant and avoiding others as a result. He would so desperately want for his loved ones to be at peace that he would rather endure unbearable misery in silence than speak on it; not knowing just how tired he really is and how badly he needs to be comforted.

So when Peach would finally -and ever so gently- confront him on the matter, his walls would crumble almost immediately, and he would break down in front of her. Anguish and exhaustion slowly giving way to healing. ❤️‍🩹

#This kept coming back to my mind when I was working on both the confession tangent and the body swap one 🥺 #And looking at it... I figured it could indeed technically work for a variety of stories #The context might change but the issue remains 😢 #Mario has a lot of trouble opening up about what upsets him #Especially to both his brother and the princess #Who just so happen to be the two people who care about him the most #So the poor man was essentially bound to experience this struggle 😔 #But- there's beauty in sorrow. And love in suffering 🤲💖 #I have often contemplated drawing a sequence that would showcase this moment #but ultimately felt that it was more impactful as a single image 🌅 #It also deeply resonates with me for many reasons #This was a personal one for me 💙 #Mario #Princess Peach #Mario x Peach #Mareach #hurt/comfort #Super Mario Bros #Fanart
