#do not kill the cringe kill the part of you that cringes

MHA Hot Take #4

People are way too harsh to Spinner just because he's cringe, like some people were just dedicated to demonizing everything Spinner did.

Spinner: says he admires Dabi for being strong and determined and that he won't go down so easily.

Everyone: He's encouraging Dabis suicidal ideation somehow because he didn't purposefully book Dabi a therapy appointment.

Dabi: gets back up because he's strong and determined.

Spinner: Idealizes shigaraki a little too much gets tricked by afo into doing his bidding thinking he is helping shigaraki, gets his mind violated, and in the last moments realizes he liked shigarakis one on one time getting to know each other more than his big moment destroying deika city as a part of a character arc.

Everyone: Spinner is a terrible enabler to Shigaraki.

Spinner: puts a hand on shigarakis face to wake him up in a crisis situation where the heroes are about to kill them and afo takes over shigas body.

Everyone: This is spinners fault somehow and not you know AFOs.

Like damn you can be a serial killer but goddamn you if you're kind of codependent and needy.

I made my post about Dean Highbottom and then as I was writing my tags realised that his Hunger Games counterpart is Haymitch. and now my head is in my hands and I don’t think I’ll ever recover

#IM GOING TO CRY. I am part of the system I never wanted anything to do with it #I killed so many people without laying a hand on them. I never ever asked for this. I tried to say no. my hands are still bloody. #both turned to drugs to cope. both had a mentee who reminded them of someone they hated so much #(snow reminded the dean of his old friend. katniss reminded haymitch of himself) #both knew exactly how the games worked and all of its consequences because one made it and the other lived it #both lived in the shadows of the past and never really got out from it #but in the end one of them chose to be cruel to the children who they were asked to mentor #and the other loved even when it was killing him #god. twenty three years and they never managed to drown the fire out of him. his heart broke again and again #but he held onto those shards even as they made his hands bleed. and then one day two children appeared and pieced it back together #and some of it was missing and always would be. you can’t undo twenty three years of alcoholism and pain and grief and self loathing #but a lot of it was still there. far more than he ever even believed could have survived #Haymitch I love youuuuuuuuu I will always love you #and Dean Highbottom you were kinda cringe and lame. guynobody ass bitch. do better #haymitch abernathy #dean highbottom #thg #the hunger games #a ballad of songbirds and snakes #abosas

Riddle goes to Idia's room for Manga Recomendations (Cater advice). Idia shows off his colections featuring the more questionable manga he owns. Riddle gets, understandably, curious. Most Akward missunderstanding of their life insues.

#art #comic #twisted wonderland #idia shroud #riddle rosehearts #had a thought and i was like 'I should draw this lol' here it is #and actually finished a sketch comic for once?! crazy actually #Anyways i have been thinking about them way to much the parralelism is CRAZY #chronically online x chronically offline do you guys get it #a part of my brain is like 'girl this is so cringe people will kill you for this' but like. i dont care enough to not do that. ssry #to my friends that will see this um uuuuuuu #whatever see you in like 3 months next time i do a cringe ass comic i still wanna post bcs its not sdo bad actually

Literally I cannot possibly have anyone I know in real life find out about my comic or I will have two worlds collide and that would be bad,,, is this normal

#I need to know #does anyone else feel this #my New Year’s resolution for 2023 was to kill the part of me that cringes and come clean with this completely harmless fact about myself #it is almost 2024 and I have not done that #idk maybe it’s just the fact that If People Know I’m Cringe I’ll Be Ruined (tm) #but like they know I’m cringe!! Like you wouldn’t know at a glance #but talk to me for three seconds? you just think like #oh that bitch draws weird shit #I DONT EVEN THINK IT’S THAT WEIRD #IS IT WEIRD?? #A #AM I WEIRD #DO YOU THINK IM WEIRD? #I’m in my mental breakdown era #I need to dink my oiter #I think I’m normal #obviously not bc it’s my #Baby’s First Mental Break on Tumblr Dot Com #idk I’m sorry #this is dumb #I’ll be better tomorrow I think

me, every time I leave a deeply earnest comment on Instagram:

“I promise I’m normal. I am so normal. This is so embarrassing. Why am I here. Why are any of us here. I swear, I’m so chill. I know you’re supposed to tell artists they’re making shit you like so I’m uh. I’m trying. To do that. And be positive about representation and jobs well done. But you’re right, it’s so cringe, I am s o. sorry. I’ll just see myself out.”

#why do we find earnestness so mortifying? #I’m constantly trying to unlearn this BY forcing myself to leave the comments I would want to receive myself #and then instantly go into ‘oh god oh no’ mode #kill the part of you that cringes but like. that bitch ain’t going down.

[towards-toramunda]

I’m sorry if anyone is annoyed with my ashrym brain rot but if it makes you feel better I am also annoyed with my ashrym brain rot.

#literally don’t think I’ve ever been this feral for a ship before and I hate it #like yes ‘don’t kill the part of you that is cringe kill the part that cringes’ but they’re fighting each other in my head #ashrym #do you ever just think about the tanks being beasts who hold softness for each other or #critical role #cr spoilers #I also have work later so my brain can chill the fuck off

I'm going to be honest finding your account has sent me down a rabbit hole I did not expect to find myself in, yesterday I spent six hours, looking at all of your stuff and I'm absolutely amazed, I have no words. Your art and everything you talk about I'm absolutely fascinated in a very normal way I don't mean to sound weird. I was wondering if you had any thoughts to share with someone who's hating everything they draw and have lost the fun and passion when creating, I want to snap out of it.

I've been holding onto this ask for a minute because a few years back I went through a phase (I call it a phase, I fully intended never to pick up art again) where I also hated everything I was making

ultimately, what got me out of it was mostly doing other stuff. not even in a 'get a new hobby,' kind of way, I hated drawing in my sketchbook, so I started cutting out washi tape as clothes over old sketches and filling in the negative space between scribbles with highlighter and pen colors I thought looked nice. I went out to daiso, bought $10 worth of stickers, and started putting them where I thought it would look nice when I got the urge to do something but still couldn't bring myself to actually pick up a pencil.

if there's something that you know for sure you don't like about art, it can help to confront it and then go in the other direction. there were a lot of things I used to draw because I felt like it was expected, only I was unhappy all the time, and once I realized I was unhappy because I wasn't actually exploring what I thought was interesting about the subject holding my attention, it was sometimes easier to see what I DID want to do, I just had to acknowledge what I DIDNT want first.

that said, I still have an on-off again antagonism with myself and art, it's messy and it's always going to be that way for me, but whenever I feel stuck, I do try to change things up, or head off to a space that I feel has absolutely no expectations from me whatsoever. like. whenever I get really annoyed on my history blog, I actually turn to watching 2PM's vlogs on youtube. I have enough 2PM art in my sketchbooks I almost thought about making a dedicated HOTTEST twitter account lmao.

probably my last thought on this might be: try keeping two sketchbooks. nothing expensive. one can be something more serious, but keep a space just for yourself to fuck around in. don't draw in it unless you want to. put stickers in it, press flowers that you think look neat. buy some cheap water colors and see if you like the blues that you get out of it. it's okay to feel antagonistic towards art, but if you aren't ready to break up with it (and art will always be there if you want to go back, that's an important thing), I've found the straightforwardness of 'I like these stickers, so I'm going to put them on top of this square of blue I liked,' to be akin to leaving messages for someone you aren't ready to talk to face to face just yet, but maybe someday.

#idk if this was helpful but i am wishing you the world anon #(a lot of my current antagonism with art comes from expectations i feel other people have for me #and also this part of me that doesn't want to come across as cringe so i'll suffocate things i want to do for things i think will #come across more serious. usually tho i kill this impulse in its sleep because the joy of embracing whatever bullshit #captures my attention is so much more satisfying in the end #i will say part of what fixed a lot of it was allowing myself to feel angry that art wasn't what i wanted it to be #bc in turn it let me start to figure out what i wanted to do) #ask tag #actually hang on i have a. i have a photoset from a show that had a really good bit on creative burnout that might be #....comforting? maybe. i think about it often #i'll have to dig it up

I have this deeply unfortunate condition where I cannot absorb verbal information without doodling, but also I have the drawing skills of young child and the permanently shaky hands of a wizened crone SO the results are. Unfortunate.

I am definitely making a great impression on my classmates and future colleagues by scrawling stick-figure patho characters next to them while they’re trying to listen to orientation lectures 👍🏻

anyway this (+ illegible handwriting) is why I can never lend people my notes. termitarywallart.jpg

#my art inspires questions in the mind of the spectator. such as ‘ok then…?’ and ‘yeah but like. why’ #do not kill the part of you that is cringe. kill the part of you that cringes :) #on another note #i won’t say it again: bloodstains should be considered business casual. maybe business formal #i need to fix my sleep schedule and generally get my shit together #it’s going great #anyway your honor those are my emotional support scrimblo bimblos. my comfort scrunklies. my favorite special little guys #pathologic #pathologic 2 #мор. утопия #silly pathologic doodles #fully forgot what the executor mask looks like. also fully forgot what birds look like #katerina saburova #clara saburova #rat prophet #the 2nd one is me every time they try to take my blood #i have shitty veins #rats: they’re just like us!

my toxic trait is i read everything y'all write and i eat it up and i love your ships like even though i probably wouldn't care about them if not for y'all writing i'd read your yelling about them gladly and i'd read 10 page essays about them but then whenever i have brainrot about my own ships i just think i'll be annoying yelling about them 💁‍♂️

#» out of character — ⌜main sup irl.⌟ #i think in part it's #this thing the rpc (in general not league) #always had of 'you actually admit you're interested in shipping? disgusting' #kajsndfkajsnf #because yeah sure shipping isn't all there is to it #it's not all i enjoy writing or that i want in my blogs even #but developing relationships (romantic AND platonic) is literally one of my favorite things about rp #and i /do/ enjoy shipping greatly i love when we mash our little plastic dolls together it's so much fun it makes me feral sometimes #but i do love romance actually. i love complicated romance. i love enemies who have romantic feelings for each other #i love partners in crime and killing machines who get to be soft with each other. i love the idea of love possibly undooming the narrative #i just really enjoy romance (writing it. reading what you all write with it. all the romance) #i'd have hesitated to admit that before but. yeah i'm cringe but i'm free #(still get unreasonably anxious and think i'll be annoying everyone yelling about the ships in any blog)

tortured poets is bad to YOU. i’m having the time of my life

#i do not care if the lyrics are ‘cringe’ #what happened to killing the part of you that cringes? huh? #i genuinely love this album and i’m so proud of her for it #no it’s not groundbreaking like 1989 or rep #but it’s her most honest and most vulnerable music and it is so so special #i could not care less if you think the production is boring or the lyrics are nonsensical #it’s an album she NEEDED to put out #and i’m so glad she did #taylor swift #the tortured poets department #ttpd #rowan rambles

[inloveanddepth]

love these guys

#i like how cringe they all are. like all of them are flawed & immensely cringe. no one's main is safe #they're cringe in different ways & some more than others but they're all cringe. love it #why are the fans for my two favourite soul fighter champions the autistic-coded ones !! #why are the autistic-coded ones the most unhinged.... #though tbh i think you could make an argument for all 5 of them being autistic 😭 #sommer's homemade jhin cosplay is so cute #they somehow managed to capture the exact brand of weird that jhin fans are. bravo #i think the funniest part about him is that jhin would not be able to stand him lmao #him wearing a shirt with the same art that's on the print he's holding makes me crack up for some reason #obsessed with the jacked yordle named rizz.... she's everything #also can i just say i love the crop top on guy. fantastic creative decision. so many crop tops in soul fighter i love it #kiri is crazy though what do you mean she's literally selling rpf at an event that the people she's writing rpf about are at #her repeatedly trying to get samira to read her fanfiction is kind of hilarious #& then she tells samira she's going to write fanfic about her. which is kiri's way of praising her. she is nuts (affectionate) #the way she keeps casually mentioning pyke totally kills people in this universe & she still adores him #she's the worst kind of fangirl (which is the point. they're all parodies) but it's hard to hate her lol she's so silly #my only issue with her is that she's a jhin hater.... how rude #i know her tumblr game goes crazy #the only character i'm confused by is jade. the lux fangirling felt really forced to me #it's not reflected in her design at all; honestly she looks more like evelynn #especially when riki guy & rizz & sommer are all clearly emulating gwen sett & jhin respectively #plus jade's shtick was more about parodying true crime & political content creators it seemed. the lux stuff felt tacked on #i guess it was because dema is after lux & jade doesn't like dema but it felt over the top at least #on top of the fact that it's pretty hard to make sjw characters actually funny #they should've made a dema bootlicker character tbh. for funzies #i think riot should publish some of kiri's fanfiction on the universe site. wouldn't that be silly #they could do one for each of them! a transcription of one of jade's podcast episodes; guy & rizz's training regimen; a poem from sommer #hope some of them show up in LoR sometime. just for fun #league of legends #soul fighter

you know what? i WILL kill the part that cringes!!! also something i observed and found so cute is how damien often makes a joke and looks at angela waiting for a reaction/response. it’s a thing that happens also with Angela and chanse and i just think it’s so cute bc it’s like “hey i just said something I know you will find funny!!!” I LOVE FRIENDSHIPS I LOVE THEM ALL

"Don't kill the part that's cringe, kill the part that cringes" has been a very important quote to live by for me as a somewhat shy introverted person, with (obviously) strange interests. (nothing feels better than knowing what you're doing is cringe, and doing it anyway because it's fun)(so long as no ones getting hurt obviously)

YES!! THE LOOKING FOR APPROVAL!!! SO CUTE! She tends to do it too! not as much as he does, and she usually tends to address him directly, then wait for him to say something to her face, but she still does it!

Angela really is a good person to pick on with her out-of-this-world reactions!
