Dear Survivors, You are a GOOD THING!

God shows His power through creation, His sovereignty through design, and His holiness through intention. As sure as light splitting from darkness and land rising from the sea, from the beasts that fly and swim and crawl, to the dust of the earth weaved into the first ordained priests of His image...There can be no question:

You are one of the good things of the world.

God looked at you, still being woven in your mother’s womb, and declared that your beauty would surpass any mineral, mountain, or moon. To know Him and that we are known by Him empowers us to know how specially chosen, how wonderfully made, how indivisibly precious we are. See the purpose shaping every curve, the sacrifice lifting every blemish, the wisdom smoothing every edge, the love anointing every detail...

AND DISCOVER YOUR BEAUTY AS GOD'S CHILD.

Everyone is important.

As a social media manager, I have learned that everyone has a role to play, no matter how insignificant the task may seem to be.

I feel like what I do is really small sometimes because I'm so passionate about social media marketing and it's something I can talk about even when I am asleep.

Nevertheless, I have come to realize that this thing I see as "small" is actually very, very IMPORTANT.

The clients I have are so busy that if I don't do the work they pay me for, no one will. Their business can go on for weeks and no one will do what I do, and you know what that means.

Their business will suffer.

Understanding this helped me to see my role from another angle.

Imagine if there were no road wardens, cleaners, security officers, mechanics or housekeepers, who would do the work they do?

I know no one is indispensable, but I'm not talking about taking over roles which already exist. Instead, imagine these roles never existed.

Who would clean the roads, make sure our offices and homes are secured and in order?

So you see, everyone is IMPORTANT! and we come together to make the world a beautiful place.

Never look down on people and treat people well. We need each other to survive in this beautiful world.

Self-Esteem ~ Power of Positive Thinking ~ Personal Responsibility

Personal self-esteem can take an emotional hit when we place the value of ourselves in the eyes of others. It is a bonus when we enjoy family and friends who love us, treat us with respect, and want to be in our company. However, the opinion and treatment of others carries no weight in how we think of ourselves, unless we decide to take on the opinions of others as our own truth. That is a…

Harriet and Emma

Reading queer things into Jane Austen. Emma the demisexual.

The aces, they up in everyone else's love life and totally uninterested in their own.

Painting reference by Angelica Kaufmann (1741–1807) - The Artist in the Character of Design Listening to the Inspiration of Poetry

#Jane Austen #Emma #Emma Woodhouse #demisexual #asexual #Emma declares she will never marry #until the end of the book when the guy she's been bffs with forever #suddenly seems like mr right #no one is more invested in other people's love lives than the aces #disclaimer #i do not think jane austen's works are purposefully queer as we know it #but i sure love underlining things and saying “gay” a lot

I'm so sorry I'm pretty sure your bard au is supposed to be serious but oh my god I couldn't help but get strong Men In Tights and Monty Python and the Holy Grail vibes

Especially bc of Barnaby I would not put it past him to make a "your mom's a hamster" reference

no no it Is very silly. how can it not be when you've got the neighbors as the characters? silly central. ALSO YOU'RE SO RIGHT VERY STRONG MP&HG VIBES I FUCKING LOVE THAT MOVIE HERE'S SOME REFERENCES

but it is also real. when it's silly its silly and when it's serious!

it's serious.

#one of my favorite gags in that movie has always been the coconut halves used to make horse hoof sound effects #since they didnt have horses <3 #and barnaby doesnt have hooves so. they make do!#i also like to imagine that in this au at least barnaby and frank kinda beef sometimes #like barnaby will purposefully rile frank up but then frank will say something that hits a little too close to home #so barnabys like 'ok bet' and puts a little more bite in his bark #and before you know it they have to be separated to cool off!#and also sally still doing plays. gettin artsy with em and sometimes doing puppet shows instead of a live play #a la The Professor's history show but uh. with more budget and production value #paper puppet eddie running across the stage...#scribble salad #rambles from the bog #wh fantasy au #tw blood #just in case! there's a bit there <3 #ahhh warlock wally my beloved....#normally he is so nice and so kind and favors a pacifist route #but sometimes he gets pushed A Little Too Much and then! well! people die!#that scribble is actually from a whole Scene and Plot i have in my mind #where - essentially - he and home get separated by cultists who want to harness home or something #and after a few months of separation they reunite!#and the cult gets their shit absolutely Wrecked! literally none of them escape alive!#wally/home: we're baaaaack! time to die while we feast on your souls!

on moving out

#for context i drew this during the paradise of providence event👍#repost of old art #kavetham #haikaveh #i still think abt kaveh moving out often #always a bit torn between it signifying him getting back on his feet + regaining confidence in himself #but like sometimes he's a bit of an unreliable narrator....remember when he was like #hm. the first thing i will do w the prize money is move out and then build another palace but ten times bigger! like oh...kaveh.....#plus he can sometimes be blind (purposefully or not) to what's actually good for him..bc we (and alhaitham LOL) know the significance of #him having a home that's not just a house and how full circle of a moment that is for him #its always interesting to consider that their living situation in itself is this in-between flux moment #though i think kaveh trying his best to escape this “chapter of his life” isn't necessarily the solution.....#i still don't know how tumblr works so if u have to go thru all my yapping in these tags to repost i am so sorry </3 #ok thats all thank u for coming to my ted talk

There is absolutely NO WAY Arthur didn't know Merlin had magic. Even if he didn't admit it to himself--deep down, he had to know.

I'm rewatching the series again and on episode THREE, Merlin walks in on the King's meeting and loudly announces he has magic, in order to get Gwen out of prison. Gaius is immediately upset, and Merlin is very serious when he confesses.

Already, Merlin has proven to Arthur that he is trustworthy, because he's already saved Arthur's life in episode 1 and he was right about Knight Valiant's shield in episode 2. More than that, Arthur has already proven that he trusts Merlin's word--in episode 2, even after he sent Merlin away, he still believed him about the shield.

Arthur clearly believes Merlin when he confesses and immediately SCRAMBLES to cover for him. In episode THREE.

#there is NO WAY he did not know #i think he purposefully didn't look into it #and lived in a LOT of denial #but he knew #merlin #bbc merlin #merthur #god i love this show

I think I’m gonna discuss this once and hopefully never have to bring it up again. Originally I wanted to talk about it on Twitter but people are very disrespectful when it comes to mental health so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Basically, I haven’t been doing so great, mentally. Nothing bad has happened to me, I’m safe and surrounded by people I care about, and it’s been like that for months. I just, I haven’t been feeling good.

For people who do follow me on accounts like Twitter and Instagram, you may have noticed I haven’t posted anything new since January. I was struggling to feel motivated to make something for my main accounts despite having countless ideas I’d love to work on. I feel better now and do plan on getting something done in March, but that sudden lack of motivation is pretty rare for me. Art is not only my job but a big hobby for me, I just love drawing. I did get some nsfw art done at least.

I don’t know what really prompted my mental health decline, I’ve been getting a few worried messages and fanart because someone insulted my art. But that didn’t hurt me at all, it actually boosted my account and patreon.

I guess I just… got sad?

I have a really bad tendency to suppress and even ignore my trauma and feelings of guilt. And I guess one day I really sat with my thoughts and I just, lost it I guess. I have so much traumatic memories and sudden and intense feelings of self loathing, something I’ve never felt in almost a decade, that it got overwhelming. I couldn’t reassure myself, I couldn’t really talk to anyone about it because how do you confront things that happened years ago? You feel almost irrational. It’s just memories that haunt you, it’s nothing physical or tangible and yet it’s a crushing feeling of anxiety, self hatred and resentment.

I was crying almost every day, and crying so much that my eyes kept hurting long after I was done, and I could barely see my own screen. I’ve had paranoid thoughts about myself and others, thoughts I can’t get into because they’re so deeply irrational. I was feeling suicidal urges and thoughts of self harm. I don’t see myself doing it, but it’s so frequent and overwhelming it’s like I’m already planning my suicide note.

I was talking to my therapist about it, that I was starting to hate being alive. That I hated living. That I could spend the next 50 years of my life with no more conflict or trauma and I’d still be in intense misery and turmoil. They’re feelings I couldn’t really bring myself to tell friends about because what could they say? How do you calm yourself down and reassure yourself. I can’t even talk about my trauma verbally without crying. And it’s funny because sometimes minor irks started to affect me negatively. I was feeling anxious about what to draw because I didn’t want to do deal with homophobic backlash.

I went to a therapist, I talked to friends, Ive been working out more and eating better, I did everything I should do to improve my mental health and all of a sudden a single night just sitting in my room destroyed everything I was slowly building up over the past 5 years.

It’s been really difficult for me. I think also, I just felt so much guilt over not being the best person I could be. I decided to lessen my online usage, not just for my mental health but because I really wanted to work on being a better person. I want to stop hating myself and letting my trauma push me down and I want to do just be better and do better as a person. A lot of people have been very forgiving and kind to me but I don’t feel like it’s enough and I want to do more and I want to feel better about myself. I want to give everything I can to people around me. I’ve been going to therapy a lot more lately and things are getting better for me, but it’s been a very slow process.

I just want to repeat that nothing serious has happened to me. Nobody attacked me in a way that negatively affected my health. A lot of people, friends and strangers have been really nice to me these past few months. I just was doing a lot of self reflecting and unintentionally forced myself to confront a lot of my trauma. I’m saying trauma a lot. I don’t want to get into depth about what I endured because it’s my business but people who do know me know how bad things were for me. I don’t want to feel like that again. I want to feel better, and I want to do better.

Sorry for the long read. That’s just how I feel.

#txt #suicide tw #self harm tw #I was very hesitant to discuss this because whenever I talk about mental health it leans into #one side. who are super well meaning but feel obligated to make sure that I’m okay. like I’m their responsibility when I’m just a stranger #online and my thoughts and feelings should never make someone feel like they have to ‘protect’ me #and another side who sees me purposefully be vague about some of the things I discuss like trauma and regret #and just construct their own narrative and get mad at me for it #at this point I’m just too tired to care about the potential backlash of the latter #if you read all this and think I’m saying I did nothing wrong and everyone is bad except for me that’s your fantasy you get to live in #I just want to be honest about my thoughts and feelings

I'm a Kai Winn apologist but not because I think she's a good person. She's a compelling tragic character

#Winn is a pawn of the prophets #they purposefully did not talk to her #even quark has an orb experience #but the Kai doesn't get one word #she is holding onto her faith by a string and the wormhole aliens put her in that position for their own gain #the prophets are like lol snip snip bitch #they put her through hell because they needed her to bring the reckoning with the pah wraiths #she's ambitious and calculating yeah but she also lived through the worst of the occupation #plenty of people come out of trauma with negative attributes #it doesn't excuse her behavior but maybe it explains some of it #she really does just want what's best for Bajor #through the worst of it she still believes #the prophets are more ambitious cold and calculating than Kai Winn is #her crisis of faith happens because she finally gets word from her gods that she has been loyal to all this time #and it ends up being the pah wraiths and she still struggles to turn to their side #she was written as a grating character and they write her so well #star trek deep space nine #before ds9 goes off my radar for 3 months #Kai Winn #meta #I could have written that as a cohesive post and not a tag essay...

S E L F I M P O S E D P R E S S U R E There's a lot of discussion about peer and societal pressure, but this gets little or no attention.

Self imposed pressure- This is the one where you put pressure on yourself by yourself.

This happens due to a great level of self awareness and it is hard to recognize.

When you know you can do more, can be better, deserve better and can be more, it makes you never want to settle for the crumbs of God’s vision for your life and ohhh..God has assured you that you can do everything through him that energizes you so you know, the world is yours to conquer.

Your focus on your journey and minding your business, because you are aware that nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it.

Some of the symptoms include: Overwhelm, the feeling of underperforming below your potentials, burnout, mental and emotional stress, lack of sleep.

Third parties like pressure from the media may also add a tiny drop to this.

To remedy this: First, you need to learn to be kind to yourself. You need you to do all you want to do so take care of you. Understand the season of your life and what you should be doing now.

Sounds cliché, but take it one step at a time. Be grateful for how far you have come while you reach out for more. Stop being just big-picture oriented, be present in the minute details of your life now.

Have you ever experienced this and how were you able to contain it? Let’s get talking in the comments.

For@drarrymicrofic's February 9 prompt: Time Loop

Again, Draco thought as he wiped the blood from his eyes. I will save him this time.

He hit himself with a sleeping spell.

Just as it took effect, Harry bloody Potter apparated. Holding Scorpius.

The moment he woke, Draco sprung out of bed. He had a Saviour to question.
