being in love with a fictional character will make u produce art u didnt know u were capable of

[if ur part of the "fiction doesnt affect reality" crowd: please fuck off lol]

#me: oh teehee lets just do this for fun bc im bored and want to try smth i haven't done in a year #the art: hi im gonna turn out far above what u thought u had the skillset for #im convinced this is just beginners luck DBDJDKL or like... #one of those times where u just produce rly good art for a day or two and then it never happens again DBFHDKL #ur graced by the light of some creative spirit entity and then they fuck off into the void randomly and leave u with no abilities SBJDKDL #dandy.cmd

a good rule of thumb when you see a new "slang" word going around that you're unfamiliar with is to look it up, especially in relation to AAVE. (it would be a good idea to also do this with words you already feel that you're familiar with, just to catch anything that may have slipped past your awareness before now.)

there are easily accessible masterlists of AAVE words and phrases and if you go into a search engine and put in "[word] AAVE" you can usually pretty quickly find out if it's appropriated AAVE or not. with that said, even if it's not AAVE, it does not mean it is automatically okay to use! other cultures exist that should not be taken from willy-nilly, and there's many other aspects of language that should be considered. is the word you're seeing historically connected to slavery? is the word you're seeing connected to colonialism? is it connected to substance abuse? is it connected to mental illness? is it connected to abuse? misogyny? homophobia? ableism? etc etc etc. "etymology" is a helpful search term for looking into the history and origins of a word.

language is important, it is powerful, and while language can change, it's good to be mindful of where the words you're using are coming from. if a black person or other minority says "hey don't use this word", then you should not only stop using the word but look into it yourself! find out WHY you should stop using the word, read up on it. there's many resources already out there if you do a little bit of looking for yourself.

imagine slipping cute little notes into your F/O's pockets, maybe little reminders or love notes or compliments or jokes or whatever else you can come up with!

and maybe they do the same for you - perhaps you started it and they joined in soon after or vice versa!

i keep seeing an argument of sorts floating around every couple of months and i think maybe the reason the argument is happening is because people are not realizing they want different things out of this all

#i am afraid to make a post about it though LOL i feel like i'm still a newbie to the community so i should ''know my place'' or smth hfsfkl #but i just am thinking... perhaps ppl are not realizing that #and if someone mentioned it then maybe the argument would not have to happen every couple of months and ppl wouldnt get upset #but also maybe im misunderstanding 🧍‍♂️ #dandy.cmd

hi yall! if I'm a bit less active for a bit, it's because I haven't found a way to manage my OCD symptoms (any resources that ppl have would be appreciated but I'm looking myself either way :]) and I keep getting into destructive morality spirals ^^;;

this is my responsibility to figure out how to handle, nobody outside of me is doing anything wrong, so I'm going to be removing myself a little bit from online spheres for a little while to figure out how to get a grip on my mess.

I'll still be around (unless I need to step back further), just a bit less than usual! I want to apologize for not rbing anyone else's stuff for a while, I've been falling into avoidancy and isolation because of the OCD stuff happening, but I will hopefully be able to engage the way I'd really like to soon! 🫶

#this feels like a silly and unnecessary post to make but also the brain has been shuffling a lot #and there was a bit of a kerfuffle this morning in there so fbfjdkl #better to make a heads-up post in case i do actually disappear for a bit #i am holding up heart hands to u all though and giving a thumbs up 🫶👍 #things will be okay!!! i just need to figure my shit out before drastic measures have to be taken DBFHDKL #dandy.cmd
