Before I go to sleep I leave you all with this piece of advice: sometimes you don't actually have to answer big political questions, sometimes you can just say "I am not smart enough to know that, I just know the small things I do to help." Like you can often times completely avoid making a fool of yourself if you just say you don't know.

#simon says #to explain here and not in a reblog: #sometimes when you try to explain big picture solutions you're gonna sound dumb #you might not have done enough research #you might not have a rebuttal to a counter argument #you might not be articulate enough to explain why you think this #sometimes you gotta take a step back and give the simple solution. the one man solution #you do what you can to fight against the problem #you talk to people to help spread awareness and how to fight the bad problem #and you vote and invite others to vote for bigger steps towards solving the problem #like you can talk about theory and how you believe we need to do a huge drastic thing to solve and issue #but people will disagree and argue til you're blue in the face #they'll poke and prod until you mess up or lose your temper and use it against you #and you'll feel dumb and they'll learn nothing #sometimes the best thing to do is step away from the big picture and just say 'idk what the solution is I just know the things I can do“ #sometimes you gotta admit you're not a scientist/expert and you can't answer that #i used this while talking with my Dad tonight #he brought up our climate crisis and space travel as a possible solution #and I said I think that's just addressing the symptom and not the cause and we need to care for our Earth now #and he asked me what solutions I think would fix it #and knowing my incredibly smart Dad who is articulate and ready to throw rebuttles at a moments notice to play devils advocate #and my past experience in struggling in this topic with him before #i just told him I didn't know. all i knew is the little things I can and do do to help #and that hopefully by spreading the word and habits and encouraging others to vote for those bigger solutions I could help make a change #but all I really could do is the little things I have control over #and the topic became much less stressful about the little things we have control over #like planting native plants and recycling and adopting habits that are healthier to our planet #which was 100% more preferable to if I tried to give a big solution. because I would reveal i didn't have all the knowledge needed to argue #and my articulation would make me sound like a stupid kid who only thinks they know what's best #so yeah I basically suggest that if you dont wanna feel like shit after debating someone just step away from the big picture for a moment

just a quick ask to tell u it makes me super happy seeing the detail u go into when pointing out stuff u like about other people's art of ur ocs :3 it's so rare to see but it's so so motivating!! <3

Thank you! I don't take any interest for my art for granted, and if someone goes through the trouble of drawing my characters for me, I feel like trying to write a proper response is the least I can do. For a visually oriented person, receiving gift/fan art is a huge deal, it means someone considered my goobers worth their time and effort, they've probably been thinking about them more than a little and found them inspiring in a way or another, and I find that terribly flattering. It's extremely fun and interesting to see other people's takes on them. And I've drawn stuff for people as well, I know how nice and rewarding it feels to receive a response that is longer than a word or two. Positive comments like that can linger in people's minds for a long time, at least for me they do.

#this comes with a big serious disadvantage though #it often takes me a long time to write that response #my social batteries are extremely small and a lot of the time by the time I go online I feel too worn out to engage with people properly #I'm autistic anxious and severely depressed my spoons are in short supply at the best of times #I've always had really hard time putting my thoughts into words in a way that I find satisfactory #so I keep putting off reblogging gift art #because most of the time my brain is too smushed to formulate that meaningful comment I want to give #maybe that sounds dumb and fake #but this is something I've struggled with for years and I feel extremely guilty for keeping people waiting like that #often weeks sometimes months even #and potentially making them feel underappreciated and unnoticed #I'm also genuinely very scatterbrained and unorganized and I miss and forget things I'm supposed to do all the time #not to mention that I tend to have trouble keeping track of my mentions and dms and asks I'm only one person #so if you've ever drawn something for me and I didn't/haven't responded yet #please know it's not personal it's entirely my fault I'm kind of a mess #and chances are I'm still very much attempting to get back to you #feel free to remind me if you feel like I might have not noticed your post I really don't mind at all it often helps me a lot #and please if you can don't delete the post even if it seems like I didn't see it #because again sometimes it takes me a long time to respond #thank you to everyone who has stayed endlessly patient with me though I appreciate it #sorry this spiraled into a list of apologies and excuses this is actually something that bothers me a lot #because it's largely a mental health thing but easily comes off as ungratefulness #I'm trying to work on that #answered #anonymous

Knightfall in Dream Land - Page 4

Meta Knight shares what it was like to grow up being raised by Nightmare.

#Kirby #Kirby fanart #my art #comic #Meta Knight #Nightmare #sorry this page took me so long to finish I’ve been really busy with grad school stuff and was at a conference last month #but it’s finally here and page five shouldn’t take me as long to finish as this page did #the comic is mostly centered around the game lore and not the anime lore but I did borrow a little bit from the anime #this might be a dumb question but do any other Kirby fans have voice headcanons for the characters? #by voice headcanons I mean what do you think they’d sound like if they had voiced dialogue #for Meta Knight and Dedede I think they’d just sound like they do in the anime since those voices are so iconic lol #I know that Nightmare also speaks in the anime but I don’t really like his anime voice #I’m showing that I’m a Trekkie with this lmao but my voice headcanon for Nightmare is that he’d sound like Ricardo Montalban #Montalban died in 2009 but he was famous for playing Khan in Star Trek he was so good in that villain role #but that was in the 1960s and 1980s so if you aren’t a Star Trek fan you might not be familiar with him #he also plays the grandpa in Spy Kids though and I think he was also in Kim Possible #I actually see a lot of parallels between Kirby and Star Trek lol but maybe that’s just me and no one else sees it #I’m developing an idea for a Susie redemption arc comic that I want to draw when I finish Knightfall in Dream Land #and if I do eventually draw it it’s going to be very heavily influenced by Star Trek/there will be lots of Star Trek references in it #Planet Robobot as a game basically is just a Star Trek episode lmao it has the same plot as every Borg episode from Star Trek #so I think referencing Star Trek in a comic centered around Susie would make sense

#okay so random tag post even though it's been ages #me thinks the current place i work is actually decent a la accepting-queer-ppl so?? miiiiight. consider actually putting my #pronouns in my email signature (which hardly gets used but shh) but like. the actual ones not the society/people assume anyway ones #idk i attended a virtual tech focused event for trans dov (yes early but they didn't want to put the event on sun) and you know when #everyone is just sharing their stories and experiences and it's just like... an overwhelming sense of community? anyway that #and since it was hosted by a professional org the topics were all workplace focused and mayhaps that's something i'm thinking abt for #this year. at least within our pride group I might be ready? wild bc for a long time tumblr has been the only place I feel comfy being 100% #myself. but hearing real people's stories makes me feel like that kind of community would be nice to have elsewhere too #and the whole looking to others also turns around into the leading by example thing bc then we had some breakout groups at the end for #networking which is not my favorite but! i did my intro and said I use she/her for work but will use she/they for this group and #then the next person said he/him at work but for this group he/they so that made me wonder if it was bc of me saying so first? #which if it was is kind of like oh. the way I'm looking for those people for me.. I can also be that for someone else #anyway this sounds dumb typed out but irl/professional me has always separated out queer identity so it's new to me #i'm allowed to be giddy okay. just a little. as a treat (is tumblr still using 'as a treat' i really hope so) #oh shit is this what gender euphoria feels like #alright that's it for now i think #gah emotions and whatnot #missed you all btw i'll start actually being online again soon #personal

okay genuine question how come people think selfcest is like,,, evil. I don't see how kissing a clone of yourself or you from a different universe is bad??? like lowkey if i met me from a different universe id be like "oh boy smooching time!!!!!" but maybe im just odd

#dumb questions #i guess theres a limit to how self the cest can get untill its weird #also i stand by the kissing myself thing #like i know me best #no anxiety abt how what they would think about me #because its me #i think it might be the autism #when you're so socially awkward you would rather date a version of yourself then other people #praying no one skins me alive for this #selfcest #self love #lmao #selfcest mention #i mean the post is about selfcest #i think the cest makes it sound worse then it actually is #do people veiw it like complicated incest?????? #that doesnt make sense #...because its you #i just dont get it #i actually want answers btw please answer my question

[eryanlainfa]

Still reading my old notes and I found an old idea for their shipname that I totally forgot about because I thought it was stupid but it's lowkey growing on me so-

Fr I need feedback. How stupid does that shipname sounds like ??? Or does it work ??? Cuz airigo is used by someone else on insta and it BOTHERS ME-

and also idk Home Chemystery sounds like a cute homage to you know what other ot3-

And I love stupid references with stupid meanings no one but me knows about.

#eryanbles #im pretty sure home chemistry means NOTHING so it might sound really weird and dumb- like butchered words or something. #but I can't really tell because english isnt my first language so everything sounds made up to me. #i guess I could STILL use it anyways #or use both #who cares #i still want to know tho #eryan out of context

But if the Critical Role team knows how much we hate the ASMR ad, why do they keep playing it? 😭

#critical role #like I know for a lot of people it might be a funny love hate kind of deal #but my misophonia response goes insane #like it is honestly gives me the worst reaction I think I’ve ever had to ASMR #I start swearing and threatening violence #it honestly just ENRAGES me out of nowhere and I HATE it #SO FREAKING MUCH #can you tell it was just on? #and I feel so dumb because it’s just a stupid af #but that’s the whole thing about misophonia is that it literally causes irrational rage just from certain types of sounds #I’m begging you guys to retire it #I’d rather the weird rami malek ad come back #I’d rather watch the nordverse Sam/Laura cgi combo #that’s how much I hate the ASMR ad

[frecklystars]

I remember Stefan Karl absolutely hated La La Land with a passion he would (jokingly, exaggeratedly) tweet how horrible it was and how he didn’t like it (and it was funny to read) and I made a silent promise to myself that in his memory and in his honor, I would never watch it. I’d never seen it so I didn’t care.

But now I discovered Ryan Gosling is the main dude and I’ve been kinda hoping to watch some more Ryan Gosling stuff and Margot Robbie stuff since I’m so fixated on them right now, and like, idk. Am I betraying the plant dad? the meme legend? the Number One? if I defeatedly turn on my computer and watch Ryan Gosling sing and dance?

#like literally if I do this I would be breaking an 8 year promise to myself #I know that sounds dumb but like. i made this promise to myself in honor of him before he passed away #and all of these movies ryan is in??? i don’t expect to enjoy any of them #action films?? or the heavy heteronormative romance films where the guy is a jerk and the woman is fine with it??? UGH #and yet. i wanna keep the Barbie fixation going and if I can uhhh just look at the actors in other things it might help #that’s what I used to do for Steve Blum anyway

also ‘you could stay’ ?

Time-travel fic where after Misako leaves her young son at Darkley's Boarding School, she meets a familiar-looking teenager on the way back. The teen looks startled upon seeing her — as though they've actually met before, which is odd, because Misako can swear she's never even once seen him.

After a while, the teen then introduces himself as Montgomery — which surprises Misako, because that's her last name. So they talk a bit, and Montgomery tells her a made-up story I haven't decided on yet, but it's just to make it seem as though he has nowhere to go. This causes Misako to say he can stay with her for a few days, and Montgomery agrees.

Misako then takes him to her home, all while noticing how interested Montgomery seems to be in where she's been living with her son after Garmadon got banished. During his stay there, Misako spends most of her time researching the prophecy, desperate to find a way for it to just be words on a scroll. One day as she does so, Montgomery notices a photograph of her with a young child that looks a lot like him, and asks whether that's her son.

Misako is very startled at the question, and hesitantly nods. Montgomery then comments that he hasn't seen any children around here. Misako replies that he's at school, and that it's a boarding one. Montgomery merely raises an eyebrow at her, before pointing out that the boy looks too young to be on his own. Inwardly, Misako can't help but agree with that, yet she still calmly states that he'll manage. At that, Montgomery goes quiet, which surprises her. However, Misako does not question it, and merely goes back to her research.

As the days pass, she notices how interested Montgomery is in Lloyd, and how often the teenager tries to question her about her son. He asks Misako all sorts of things, like whether she's writing to him and when she's planning to take him home or visit him. Misako manages to dodge the questions though, saying it's only been a few days since she's sent him there and he needs to learn to be on his own instead of having her coddle him. Another thing she notices is how much Montgomery resembles her husband, but she brushes the detail off as just a coincidence. And speaking of Garmadon, Montgomery also asks a lot about her husband as well.

Eventually, the day Montgomery's supposed to leave arrives and he does so without even trying to stay any longer. After he leaves, Misako shifts all her attention to her research to find a way to save both her husband and son, and this goes on for a while until one day when she....

....gets a call from Darkley's headmaster telling her that the son of Garmadon is missing.

Misako goes frantic. How could he have disappeared? It hadn't even been a week since she'd left him for FSM's sake!

However, some time later, there's a knock on her door. Startled, she opens it, only to see little Lloyd standing there with no one else in sight, and no luggage with him other than a stuffed toy which she doesn't even remember getting him. Upon seeing her, little Lloyd starts crying and reaching for her, telling her about how mean the other kids and even the teachers had been to him.

It nearly slips her mind to ask him how he even got back home in the first place, but eventually she does. And that's when her heart drops.

The fic ends with Misako deciding to officially take little Lloyd out from the school and bring him back home, promising to never leave him again. How could she have even done that, she thinks. How had that even crossed her mind?

#i'm using Montgomery because there is no way in hell i'm using FLOYD #wips i haven't posted #You Can Stay #i know this might sound like a dumb time-travel idea but i'm desperate for some misako and lloyd content #i have mixed feelings about this woman but there definitely should be more fics about these two imo #probably not as many as lloyd and garmadon ones #she doesn't deserve that #but you get my point #lloyd garmadon #ninjago lloyd #lloyd montgomery garmadon #misako montgomery garmadon #ninjago misako #misako garmadon #ninjago #lego ninjago #misako ninjago #lloyd ninjago #i wish there were more fics where they tried to repair their relationship or something #dysfunctional family shit #and yeah lloyd got younger him the toy

last year fucked up a lot of Cavs fans and it’s so funny to me because I never expected them to get out the first round regardless of who they were playing

#hell I didn’t even expect them to make the playoffs but they did and won a game cool with me ! #and I have the same expectations this year and not because I’m pessimistic cus I’m actually not #I don’t think the Cavs suck and will lose every game they ever play #but because shit happens in sports (life) everyday that’s unexpected so how should I know what to expect? #plop the 2017 cavaliers into the 1950 nba season and I could not say with certainty that they’d win a title cus ya never know 🤷🏽‍♀️ #I actually thought I was one of the more optimistic Cavs fans but reading this back … I might be kinda dumb 💀 #this shit lowkey sounding pessimistic and that’s not my goal at all 😭

[inevitablestars]

it's stupid to be upset by not getting feedback or comments or kudos or whatever on fics but like... it really does make a difference, doesn't it?

like there's been times that i've gotten a few comments like right after posting and that made me like so excited and happy and wanting to immediately write more

but those aren't the times i remember and i hate it... like when i'm in a slump all i think about are the times that i have posted and no one reads or cares and no one interact at all. that's what sticks with me (and probably other writers too)

if you don't write then maybe you don't know how important comments are to writers but they really are

#sorry that this is kinda complainy and also super dumb #i've just been feeling very 🙃 #i love writing but what i love more is sharing it but what's the point in doing that if like no one cares? and how do i know if anyone cares #if the only comments i get are from my friends that i tell everything about the fic too? #might delete this later bc it sounds like i'm just whining about wanting comments #but that's not what i mean by this bc i feel like this applies to other people too #idk sorry i'm just ugh #i do really really appreciate anyone who reads and comments even if u only comment once i will treasure it forever

[iguessitsjustme]

work rant feel free to ignore i just need to get this out of my brain before i esplode:

My job not having any social media presence actually drives me insane...I'm going to try to rant without giving away where I work but my god. I work for an extremely well known (at least in the USA) organization and there's a lot of misinformation flying around out there and we do have a website, but just a website. That no one goes to or looks at unless they call and we direct them to exactly what they're looking for because they ask if we have it written down anywhere.

And I think it's incredibly...obtuse...to not have any presence at all. I'm not saying we need to have an extremely loud and huge presence. But even just like an official reddit or an official tiktok (we do have a twitter kind of but it is never used and I honest to god don't think anyone has access to it anymore) and even if those pages just have the most basic information on it, I think that would help. Just like "here's a link to our website. Here's our phone number. Here's which department handles what if you want to be asked for that specific department." I spend so much of my day on the phone with people that have questions that are so easily answered by just going on our website but no one does. Also don't even get me started on what they did to the website it looks like it got hacked now but it didn't.

This is a strange work rant for a Sunday night but I find myself annoyed. My coworkers and I send each other reddit posts of people misunderstanding things. I mean, they are willfully misunderstanding things they were previously informed of. In writing. But if we really want to make it better and more accessible for people, I think having the information presented in multiple ways would be best. Especially when we're dealing with children. These kids are on reddit and on tiktok and on twitter and they have questions and they are more likely going to go searching in those places to find information. And there are people that claim themselves as experts on all of those platforms but none of them work for or have previously worked for my organization. So they don't know. So these kids are getting incorrect information and then I get angry parents and children on the phone because they listened to the wrong person or organization and I'm standing by our policy and our rules and they don't like that.

Also sometimes they aren't angry on the phone because they were misinformed about something saying that they can't do this this or that and it turns out they can. And if they hadn't called they would have entirely missed the opportunity because they're going to the wrong sources because we, as an organization, refuse to be the source on a different platform other than our own.

And I get it. They don't want to hire someone to be the social media person because we are small and don't have the budget for that. But it's 2024. There are many people. Many staff. That have a lot of downtime (not my department unless it's the summer) and this could be the perfect task to give them. Even if it's just coming up with ideas to present. Not even necessarily filming anything. And videos don't need to show anyone's face or voice. We could literally do the most basic shit and it would be beneficial. It would count down on the number of calls we get and my coworkers and I would have time to do our jobs instead of spending half our time on the phone (do not ask how behind we are because it is sad).

There's something else I want to say about a different organization that I think this would help with but I cannot say without giving away where I work and also I can't bitch about our partner without causing problems. But if you live in the USA, you know about our partner, and I guarantee you hate them. But not as much as me. Never as much as me.

#rae irl #rae at work #don't ask where i work #if you figure out where i work no you didn't #but if you figure out where i work and you are specifically a certain age and have questions you can dm me #and i will be happy to answer as best i can but also i doubt that's the case for any of my followers #i think my corner of tumblr is too old for that #this was brought on by me looking up where i work on tiktok and seeing one tiktok in particular #that was so incredibly wrong that my eye started twitching #luckily it only had 1 like and 0 comments but how badly i wanted to say something #like “this is factually inaccurate just look at the website” #skjkgjdhlkfjhglkjdfh i'm fine i'm fine not bitter at all #this is also coming off the heels of multiple of my coworkers getting yelled at on the phones last week #not me because i think people just hear how tired i sound and don't try it #but two of my young coworkers got yelled at because parents didn't like the answers they were told #which isn't really related but i think just having something anything outside of our organizational websites might be beneficial #and yes i did ask once and they said we're gonna step away from that landmine and i haven't brought it up since #i just think it's dumb #also apparently we didn't get internet until like the 2010s so we are so far behind the curve i don't even know

Sometimes I see posts on the main tag that feel.... Wrong....

Sometimes it's not the post directly and it's just the notes....

Just now saw one that gave me a really bad gut feeling, and was about to comment on it, but decided not to

#in one the way they talked about shidou sounded like they were calling him a predator #i sent the post to a friend because maybe it was my imagination but they told me that was definitely being implied #and now i saw in the notes of a post people saying that if amane converts fuuta 'thats on him' #i dont mind much about people saying that about her hurting shidou but when its about converting someone into a cult... #look i dont mind if they dont agree with the theory thats completely fine but the way they phrase it feels really wrong #i know its just that im really picky and specific about the usage and meaning of words #and I'm not calling them bad people over a fictional character #but there is this misconception about only 'dumb' people falling into cults and no! smart people also do! #anyone could fall into one if they are vulnerable enough and stuff... #maybe they know that and its just that its because its a fictional character #or maybe they say that because they saw a lot of people saying that about shidou.... #sigh... #its just one of those things that tickle me the wrong way #rant #might erase later

Please do make a celltw blog I’d read every post

IM DOIN IT IM DOIN IT. GUYS WHAT DO WE CALL THE CELLTW BLOG I NEED OPTIONS FOR A URL

#whiskey yelling into the void #i was thinkin something dumb like pacskneecap just for funsies #u know how old d+p blogs would have a url like danslefttoe or philssecondeyelash?? i was thinkin something silly like that #but we could also go with a song lyric that might be kinda basic but it might also sound cool #it will def be a nsfwblog i will be talking about cell and pac A LOT so some mature content will be there for sure
