Mini headcanons about it. I just thought it was a cute idea lol.

It started as an accidental gesture between the two of you as you grew comfortable with him even if he was sometimes imposing and scary in general. The only explanation you could give people question it was that it was your way of showing something that you couldn't describe deeply or, to your mind, correctly in words.
A language of love and affection one could say. Of course you did start doing it after a year or two of knowing him and his boundaries. Katsuki wasn't a big one for physical touch after all, but the brief and soft bump of a head against his arm or shoulder wasn't much he found annoying.
Although when more and more people questioned you about it, you started to doubt it. Questioning him about it to get reassurance of it being alright.
Growing more comfortable he started eventually doing it back, sometimes even against your head or cheek if you allowed him.
The squad noticed these brief interactions of course, they didn't question it. It was just declared R's way of affection, that's all. Well that was until you started doing it to the whole squad. Albeit being really careful about it and asking if it was alright.
They didn't mind of course. And it slowly started to become a reoccurring thing that they would let you headbutt them whenever you felt like it and do it back to you.
I'm bi and yeah your note on women not having solidarity seems sadly true. Apart from not dating men would there be anything you would suggest to improve ones life apart from stating away from those women if possible?
I love this question because this is how to start thinking: being practical.
What it takes to "improve ones life" is subjective so with that said firstly define what a better life(style) for yourself away from moids would look like. Temporarily mentally remove xy terrorist existence. What would your habits/routine be? What would you work towards & pour your energy into? What would you want to be? What would you center your life around? Take your time with these questions or anymore that come up. Have a general idea then be more specific and start breaking your life down into sectors/sections/areas, then look at where you want to be in those areas and work towards it.
For example; I divide my life into 6-7 aspects:
Physical Strength - Not just about muscle but knowing how to fight, where to hit and when to fight. Being stronger makes it easier to defend yourself in altercations (especially with other women). Some mfs will try you & you cant always rely on others coming to your rescue. Also work on building stamina to help endurance, and keeping as healthy as possible.
Emotional Strength - If you cant control your emotions they will control you. In a world of chaos being emotionally strong will let you cut through the noise and focus on what truly matters. Building emotional strength is not easy but it's worth it. Being able to rise above immediate reactions and pace yourself will allow you to assess situations more rationally & make more beneficial choices.
Finances - Get your bag up. Having money to gain resources is imperative to quality of life. I dont care what anyone says having a certain amount of money in life WILL make you happier as you're able to meet your needs better. Having more money/resources also makes it easier to support other women should you choose to do so, it also allows you to be more influential and have more control over your life. However, dont become a slave to getting money tho because that's how you get scammed.
Network - The type of people you hang around can make or break who you are as a person. Aim to connect with likeminded women who will encourage & inspire you as you go on this journey. Hang around people that value & will be honest with you while giving you grace. Not all women you engage with have to be single & childfree but beware the moid crazy ones because they will bring danger to you in their quest for maIe validation. Life isn't perfect but you cant go wrong having the right people around you, valuable relationships are hard to find but it goes a long way even if it's just online. However, no company > bad company.
Spirituality/Guide - Having something bigger than yourself to guide you through the chaos in this world can offer guidance/purpose that keeps you grounded & focused. For many people generally this is religion/god. Not everyone needs or ascribes to religion/spirituality though, but at least consider sets of morals/beliefs to follow. However even that isn't for everyone. So if you feel better off without spirituality or a 'higher' guide at least be clear on it & your reasons why (for yourself).
Hobbies & Interests - As turbulent as the world is, find things to enjoy amidst the chaos. Constant work, doom, and gloom will not change anything you will only hurt yourself. Take time to indulge in things that make you happy to recharge & relax. Engage in hobbies that serve you, share your passion with other women & hear theirs out too. It goes a long way in terms of mental health.
Security - It takes privilege to decide to not get married or have children as a woman & live it out. Everyone's situation is different so what I'll generally suggest is to constantly look into how you can protect yourself, have backup methods, and stay in the loop of xy predation. Dont drown in it but moids are predators & being completely blind to them is being blind to danger. Elaborated on point 10 here.
Sounds like a lot? Great, it'll keep you busy because this isn't a vacation or destination but a lifestyle. And to be honest, some of y'all can do with the busyness as it'll let you focus on what actually matters. This not to say to overwhelm yourself in things for the sake of it but to prioritise your energy on effective things for your life. As you focus on building you'll find that you have less energy to care about insignificant stuff or stuff out of your control anyways. For example, Instead of getting wound up about user somerandomadjectivefem stirring discourse calling you an extremist or whining about how impossible it is for her & other women to live without romantic love n' whatnot (or even women irl pulling this crap), you either ignore or quickly shut down the conversation & swiftly move on.
Everything I've mentioned are just examples, you may feel differently do whatever you feel best applies. Also remember to enjoy the process along the way as you are living through it afterall :3
Long story short: Work on building resources & other aspects of your life up for yourself.
Adding right to my previous post but little funfact about myself:
The reason I got into art was because there was a certain ninjago artist that I really loved and she had very interesting ocs. Those ocs became like a huge hyperfixation to me (that I still kind of have) and I remember screenshotting so much art of them, making folders, etc. In the end, those ocs inspired me so much that I wanted to create my own (as well as do fanart for them) so that's the reason why I wanted to learn how to draw.
I have always been a huge oc artist supporter which is why I just love learning about other people's ocs because I think that's one of the things where a persons creativity can shine the most.
ok I know it was like a day or two ago but whoever sent in that ask about Bojack has me rewatching it, I'm on season 4 which is my personal favourite, which seasons your favourite? Any specific episode you like?
man! i really, really need to rewatch it to tell you which seasons i liked best, but i remember i kind of really consistently liked it. i even love the first few episodes of the first season, even though i know public consensus says they're not the best - i kind of just, immediately liked the show. i like that maybe the first episodes were a little lighter and goofier so it eased you into the heavier stuff. and that - characters that seemed light and goofy get extra dimensionality and flaws and baggage and damage as the show progresses. i think just - start to finish, it was really strong, and some select episodes were complete masterpieces. complete masterpieces.
i think i especially love the more experimental episodes - i did a reanimate project for the underwater episode, which is just - a delight of visual storytelling. i love when animation forgoes dialogue and completely leans into visuals. just - i love it. i love it. not that the dialogue isn't brilliant in bojack, because it really is. but even when they don't have dialogue, it's still brilliant.
i think the episode that leapt to mind immediately though is – the stupid piece of shit episode. i just - i think about it all the time. i just - i love being in bojack's head, i love the different animation style, i love the frantic, brutal nature of it. there's just this honesty in bojack that i just - i haven't seen anywhere else. when you see mental health being tackled in other media it's so often so - so sensationalised or demonised or simplified into some evil that needs to be overcome, but bojack just - i don't know. it's so honest about the brain. and that it's not - it's not just one guy who's suffering. it's everyone. it's you, it's me. i just. man. i really loved this show and what it did. i think it's something special.

i think i love media where mental health isn't just a problem exclusive to one bad egg, but like, it's normal. we all have that voice.
If you're on a website, or an application, or some hum-dum-diggory 64-bit program and you're clicking a button and it doesn't respond after the first couple of times...
Do not spam click it.
Trust me, it will not fix your problem. It'll only make it worse. I understand it can be frustrating to wait, but patience is a virtue.
...It's kind of wild when the terf that you got into a fight with and had to write an essay on "Why violence is wrong" back in high school now works at the pharmacy where you get your medication from...
I wish I could post more but I'm so disorganised that I can never do more than sketches when it comes to art. Maybe I should say fuck it and start posting my more messy stuff, the couple people I share my art with do say that it looks great regardless
imagining outfit ideas i saved on pinterest on some guy from a band i enjoy is weirdly such a helpful way for me to be more confident and try the outfit
Nicolò’s doctor was giving him that look again 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Hello, Rae! <3 I titled this file with the first line of the fic because it just doesn't have a title yet ghfdsgf. But it is the sequel for my (1) modern au, 'stuck on you' and starts with a flashback. Have a snippet of baby-trans Nicky's first T shot: **CW for needles/injections!!**
“Don’t kick me if this hurts,” Andy warned when they were both in the bathroom, all supplies laid out on the sink and ready to go.
Nicolò, who was sitting on the edge of the tub, crossed his fingers and promised he wouldn’t. He’d already filled the syringe, switched the needle and swabbed his thigh. The only thing Andy had to do was the actual injection, which… okay, he was a little nervous.
“You ever thought about becoming a nurse?” Andy asked as she watched him flick the syringe. He snorted, though he didn’t hate that idea.
“Okay, kiddo.” Andy hovered the needle over his thigh, and Nicolò resisted the urge to look away. He had to make sure she was putting it in the right place. “I’ll do it on three. Count for me?”
Nicolò gulped. “One…”
Andy poked the needle in, and Nicolò hissed, trying not to move. “Ow!”
“I lied.” Andy smiled deviously, but she had that sappy look in her eyes. Nicolò couldn’t be mad at her. “Okay, for real this time.”
Nicolò had to squeeze his eyes shut for the rest of the injection, but he counted for her. And if a few rapturous tears slipped out when he opened his eyes, Andy would just hug him tight and tell him how proud of him she was.
Also this, just because:
“Jean-Pierre is eight,” Nicky reminded, “and has ADHD.”
“I’ll keep an eye on him. I’m the buff uncle, he’s not gonna mess with me when he sees these.” Nicky turned around in time to see Joe flex his biceps.
Needles to say, Nicky barked a laugh. “What am I then, a noodle?”
“You’re the fuck-around-and-find-out uncle. One look, and those kids will behave.”
I've literally never drawn a portrait before in my life and I just attempted to draw Steve and on one hand I'm like, "Who is this man." but on the other hand, "Not too bad for a first try."
