#it’s about the GROWTH!

[rinaforreal]

The journey to saying it, and having it be said.

+ Bonus

#rina #hsmtmts #OK so it’s like Gina knew he needed time to be able to say what and how he feels right she’s know that from the start #and Ricky needed to grow into being able to say it first and meaning it and saying it for the right reasons to the RIGHT person #but he’s always wanted Gina to say how she feels right like he wouldn’t let her stay closed off he wouldn’t let her hide behind her walls #he gives her the strength and courage to feel what she feels #it was always about Gina holding Ricky off until he was ready to say it and it was about him pushing her to open her heart #and then they met in the middle with him going first this time instead of her which is what she wanted #I have a lot of thoughts about this that are still incoherent so if anyone else has any thoughts PLEASE share #this came to me like a bolt of lightning everything about them is so intentional #it’s about second chances getting something right with the right person for the right reasons at the right time #it’s about the GROWTH!

#dungeon meshi #izutsumi #marcille donato #chilchuk tims #I still stand by my tags on the Izutsumi character study piece I did in January - but I will repeat myself on a few lines here: #I *really* love this character. I love that all of the dungeon meshi crew are complicated and have difficult to love components. #But Izutsumi is a particular kind of hard to love. I foresee a lot of people being turned off by her abrasiveness and lack of teamwork. #She is very self-centered and openly goes against what the party agrees on. #She's a picky eater in a story that is 50% about eating good and healthy food! #It is in part about her growth but admittedly even *then* she remains rather true to her self-centeredness. #Even though she isn't as nice or funny or compassionate as the others...Izutsumi is still someone worth loving. #Even the more difficult people are someone worth loving. #And those people in turn are people who have something and someone they love. #She may be a girlcat but she is the most human of them all. #I hope that if you are an anime only watcher and are feeling put off by her at the moment; you'll give her a chance. #By the way: *yes* I worked very hard to draw that skateboard pose. It was worth it. #EDIT: HAPPY 500th POST OF POORLY-DRAW-MDZS!!! What a comic to commemorate the milestone with!

every time you assume that others are thinking negatively of you or judging you behind your back, you are bullying yourself through them. at the end of the day, you don't know what thoughts are running through their heads unless they verbally express them to you. until then, every one of 'their' opinions about you is nothing more than your fear, and whatever assumption is born from your fear is yours to let go - not theirs to disprove.

I'm rewatching Steven Universe and I will never forgive Fandom for what it did to her

#also watching it at age 19-20 as it was released and experiencing the resulting clusterfuck online fandom response was a wild trip #im finally rewatching it again at 25 and really really feel lucky to have seen it at the age i did #i have completely different perspective on it now that i have 3 young nephews and a neice where before i was in college #the music is still as incredible as it was back then #and the animation #i cant beleive people got honestly and truly upset and violently aggressive about characters being off model sometimes #early stevens voice though kills me after awhile...... the yelling .... but his characters growth and development also being reflected in #his voice changing as he grows up #they also go crazy hard on some scenes #who am i kidding the show was a masterpiece and ahead of its time

I’ve been thinking about the fact that Drift and Deadlock are actually the same person

#transformers #maccadam #mtmte #lost light #drift #tf drift #deadlock #tf deadlock #yeah no because #I draw Drift and I draw Deadlock but I always draw them so differently #I’m reading some new fic rn #and it has a lot of thoughts about personal growth and changing #but it also shows that Deadlock wasn’t something Drift just changed into like a costume #he was Deadlock and he was doing terrible things #he stopped his harmful actions but he never stopped being Deadlock #…man #these fics #I found another 300k words one and I have fun can you tell #it was intended like a little warm up sketch btw hahah

Sometimes our emotions get the better of us. You can say that again.

#mobius #loki #lokius #mcuedit #lokiedit #marveledit #loki spoilers #cafeteria scenes my beloved 🥺💖 #another day waking up reeling at the thought of meeting a person unconditionally accepting of your entire past present and future #and becoming someone who seeks growth from wanting to offer that back to build an equal partnership for the first time! #the way mobius openly likes and accepts all the things about loki everyone else tried to hide or push down oh i'm so emo ;;;;; #maybe i'm overdoing my emoji use while giffing them this season BUT they haven't looked at each other with anything except heart eyes so #take it up with them and their choices 😂 #owen wilson #tom hiddleston #loki s2 spoilers #marvel #owenwilsonedit #dianagifs

Just a bit more about my HC for this lil' guy

#linked universe #lu mask #oot link #mm link #young link #time travel shenanigans #mask got a growth spurt (has conflicted feelings about it) #growing up with eternal children and fairies was not good for his diet #also funny bc his saving grace was probably the marrow. some people eat it. i'm people #trees will devour bones btw so that tracks too #tbh the hw people didn't notice at first bc they were focusing on the war #but once Mask moved into captain Link's tent it was a matter of time for them to notice how badly Mask's diet is #tloz #tloz fanart #my art #the bone marrow is from the wolfos. which is funny if you think about Twilight

I don't wanna further hijack that poor poll, but the thing about Harrow's schizophrenia is that it's canon. The author has confirmed it, and shared that it's based on her own experience.

It's a pretty obscure bit of canon, so of course there's no shame in not already knowing, but that's why I'm so obnoxiously persistent about letting people know.

Whatever else is up with Harrow, autism or cptsd or any number of likely headcanons, she is also schizophrenic. I feel like that's too important to be handwaved away as a difference of opinion.

#like of course not everyone knows I'm not the kind of asshole who gets mad about someone not having heard about an unrecorded con panel #not knowing is one thing #erasing or ignoring that aspect of her is something completely different #like yeah she's incredibly relateable in that way #and I know how comforting it can be to project your own dx onto someone and go 'wow shes just like me fr' #but I really feel like doing that re: Harrow's schizophrenia is a huge lost opportunity for growth #and I hate that the takeaway for so many people is 'Harrow is autistic' #and not 'oh cool didn't know autism and schizophrenia had so much overlap in experience' #relate to psychotic people without flinching challenge #anyway. tl;dr: #if you didn't already know then I have the coolest new fun fact about Harrow to share with you!! #if you do already know but have elicted to ignore it then a little bit fuck you actually #but I will ALWAYS assume someone didn't know before assuming they're being a dick #the locked tomb #harrow nonagesimus #harrowhark nonagesimus #harrow the ninth

NOTHING could have prepared me for the reality of letting a cat into my house

#bucky barnes #marvel #alpine #my art #digital art #recovery #for bucky #there is something about having 10+ claws in your leg that keeps you from deep dissociation #i really hated the last piece i posted #i need to stop fighting my art style #i understand experimentation is growth #but maybe i shouldn't always feel like i need validation for it #and should keep it to myself #but i will share my beloved sketchy style

Futamono Flower Meaning

So you're telling me that the very night after Will whore Graham sent someone to murder Hannibal simp Lecter, the man created this?!

#will graham #hannibal #hannibal lecter #murder husbands #hannigram #nbc hannibal #hannibal is a simp #SUCH a simp #“oh? you sent someone to slit my wrists at a swimming pool?” #*instant heart eyes* #also #can we just #talk about these flower meanings for a sec?! #cause like #everlasting love and passion and affection and all that #we already knew #but resilience?! #caution?! #forgiveness?! #hope?! #graTITUDE?!?! #this man straight up almost died #and here's out here #planting a garden #to celebrate his future lover's attempted murder #because “growth” is making him think Will is finally accepting his darker side #and “desire” is him lusting after it #and “everlasting love?!” not just love but everlASTING #this man has it SO bad #it's embarassing

one day you’ll yearn for the person you are now, to tell them, "hey, look, it turned out to be okay" and "i’m so grateful you’ve held on" and "things just worked out somehow". you’ll want to hold their hand and give them the wisdom that the future is actually better, and you know it because you’re living it. but you can’t reach through time like that. the only way to bridge the gap between the you of today and the you who’s doing better, is to hold onto the hope that they exist.

my economics professor mentioned that my state's old growth logging ban was lifted (in a positive tone) and i already didn't like her but i almost went apeshit istg. @headspace-hotel's posts actually changed my brain chemistry. i rambled to a few classmates about them afterwards and went into a research spiral for half the afternoon too. i'm so angry that i'll never see them. i'll never be able to walk on six inches of topsoil. i'll be lucky to walk on one. economics are a joke i want my goddamn earth back

#old growth forests #mycorrhizal fungi #mycelium #topsoil #sorry for the @ headspace im just very angry right now and you were the main factor making me understand enough to be angry about it

I would pay an ungodly amount of money for a Supernatural finale where Dean rescues Cas from the Empty and tells him he loves him too, Eileen comes back to be with Sam, and Jack chooses to live with the four of them in the bunker as a happy family.

#if someone has the contact info for whoever I would need to pay to make this happen pls send it I’ll start a go fund me #the finale we got was so bad and its only really just hitting me how bad it was #like they really said f you to all the character growth that we saw over the 15 seasons #i can’t stop thinking about it #i’ve been reading fix-it fics for 3 days straight but its just not the same #i might try and write my own fic because nothing has everything I want #destiel #supernatural #castiel #spn #dean winchester #deancas #dean x cas #sam winchester #supernatural fandom #eileen #eileen leahy #jack kline #sam and dean and cas are jack’s parents #fix it fic #sam x eileen
