#reminder that you matter

[rosedarkness24]

It's absolutely normal to not have your shit together.

Everyone goes through this. Building up your creations and having no organization to the now mess you made. That is normal. Please don't lose faith. Starting a project with no clear vision or plan laid out is how everything starts.

Take it one step at a time. Rise, fall, and pick your ass back up. Don't let the voice within spout negative nonsense to you. Take a pause and explain what you've made so far. Write it down and record it.

It doesn't really have to be everything right away, but start jotting things down. Small conversations, big ones. Even if you never use them, they are there for reaction references. How did that character react to this before, why did they react to it in that way, what were they thinking and feeling.

Slowly build a habit of fleshing things out. Even if it's something small. Like a minor detail, it could be a major plot point.

Let's start with something easy? How tall is everyone? This will help do a roll call and help you vision how everything visually is starting to look like. If you have to doodle, do it. For fuck sakes doodle if it helps, no one should blame you. If someone does, then clearly they don't deserve to have your attention.

Keep positive. You can do this. It's okay to cry, to feel overwhelmed, and it's okay to be a mess. No one is perfect. Everyone goes through this stage. Sometimes, it is harder for some, and sometimes, it is easier. You can get through this, be proud of your accomplishments, and when you fall, because we all fall, pick yourself up, and give the biggest shit eating grin because you are worth all your hard work.

Wise words said to me before:

It is ok to fall, but always remember to pick yourself right back up. Because you don't have to be perfect, you have to try your best and expect the worst. In the end, never lose yourself to the darkness. Always be who you are.

You are loved, remember that.

Y'all have a blessed day, and love yourself.

If you have any additional advice, please share it. Sometimes, people can't ask for help when they need it. Whether or not they are socially scared or worried they'd be a bother. They still need the help.

i don't know man. but sometimes i think about percy breaking the news to nico that his sister's dead. and nico plummetting into depression, screaming at the boy he once thought of as a hero to die. and percy watching this ten-year-old disappear into the shadows mid sobbing. and percy's shaking and traumatized and exhausted. but he forces that pain down his throat and accepts the role as the prophecy kid so nico has a chance to create a future he wants. while percy's is set in stone. and i don't know man.

#like poor baby #you shouldn't have had to make a sacrifice like that #and poor nico getting the only sense of permanence he had ripped from him in a matter of weeks #and each breath he takes is a reminder of all the ones bianca won't get to #and then i die inside #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo #pjo text post #percy jackson #nico di angelo #pjo spoilers

Souls are permeable-> The more you interact with a person the more it changes you. This is obvious when it's in friendship, and or it is a chosen change. But even if you don't want to change, knowing others will change you will regardless, in ways you may not be able to predict. That is the nature of all relationships, we are not static things. Yeah. That's it, just gonna think about this one all day

Periodic reminder that unless a person specifically and clearly tells you it is okay to tell others they are trans or queer, you should err on the side of caution and assume they do not want you to tell people (especially random people!) about their transness or queerness.

You have no idea, generally, why somebody doesn't talk openly about their trans or queer status, and you have no idea, truly, how somebody might react to that information. The most progressive person out there is still capable of harbouring incredibly negative thoughts about somebody's queer status.

Hallucinating is normal, many people experience it. You have most likely at least passed someone in the street who was hallucinating once. Or you've worked alongside a coworker who was actively hallucinating and you didn't even notice. Or your loved one hallucinated while you were in the room, but they were afraid to tell you.

Hallucinating is common, it's just not commonly talked about in everyday situations. If you don't experience it, or don't know someone who does and tells you about it, you've probably only heard it in the news or on TV. And they only really represent the worst possible outcome for shock value. But that isn't representative of how most of us who hallucinate experience it.

Most of us are just like everybody else, living our lives, just with the addition of hallucinations. We may need to take pills every day, or need therapy, or need to stay in mental hospitals sometimes, or need to be checked on by loved ones, but so do a lot of other people who don't hallucinate.

Hallucinations are just a symptom. Just like anxiety, or trouble concentrating, or tiredness. A lot of people experience it and have to learn to cope overtime. The only difference is we don't generally talk about it to people in casual settings. And it's because of the stigma. If you don't hallucinate, or know someone who does, you probably don't see hallucinations as a normal part of life, a symptom, just a thing plenty of people experience. But it is, it's not special, it isn't more dangerous, it doesn't have to be a huge deal.

Obviously hallucinations can be life changing and horrific, but so can other mental health symptoms. Hallucinations can also be neutral, or just annoying or even a positive experience. It's just a symptom, it doesn't automatically mean someone is in the worst mental state possible if they are hallucinating. It doesn't automatically mean someone is dangerous or unpredictable. It just means a person is experiencing senses that the people around them are not.

You have to learn to accept that it's just a symptom, and that people around you experience it, and they deserve to complain or talk about it just like anyone else gets to with other things in their lives. All you have to do is listen, and try to be understanding. Hallucinating is normal, you just need to stop treating it like it's abnormal.

Alas, this beautiful dream could not last.

#dungeon meshi #falin touden #dungeon meshi spoilers #better drawn mdzs #(<- my higher effort art tag. I need to get a new one.) While it's different from my usual style I really loved how this came out! #Strolling back to the art scene to remind everyone I am still a lover of botanicals. #I had a blast with the symbolism for this one: #White lilium longiflorum (easter lily) for rebirth. Purple hyacinthus orientalis for sorrow and forgiveness. #Red spider lily (Lycoris radiata) for loss and death. #'Rebirth into something new' is so well done in Dungeon Meshi. She is back but she is not the same. #The last few episodes/chapters gives her this dreamy quality to her. As if she's not quite real. She's so perfect in their memories. #And as we know of dreams - no matter how sweet- they must end once we wake up. #It is so painful to lose someone twice. To see someone you loved in a dream and wake up and remember that loss again. #Dungeon Meshi being a grief allegory is important to me. I'll explain more as the story continues B'*)

Intrusive thoughts

#nothing like thinking about how it’d be to murder your homie. we all do that aaaall the time right #a passion of mine is writing dialogue in a way that you could interchange who says it and it’d still make sense when it comes to Vashwood #they both get insane intrusive thoughts and that’s a matter of fact #they are turbo traumatized so it’s even worse at times. this is what I would say one of the tamest instances if that means anything #Vash would feel so guilty abt them too. bc they don’t feel like his thoughts. it’s almost as if it was someone else’s #they have pointed their guns at each other but never shoot. the thoughts have lost another day <3 #Vashwood is: having thoughts and rarely do anything abt them (positive and negative) #everybody who has intrusive thoughts say hell yeah. HELL YEAH!!! #gentle reminder that intrusive thoughts are just that and don’t define you as a person. they are. I’m fact. intrusive #intrusive thoughts #cw intrusive thoughts #tw intrusive thoughts #for those who may need to filter those out #trigun #vash the stampede #nicholas d wolfwood #trigun stampede #vashwood #trigun fanart #vash #wolfwood #nicholas trigun #lenssi draws #lenssi writes #because I wrote the lines first and THEN I did the drawings #still fixated on Vash’s eyes btw if you didn’t notice

something i keep thinking about is who mary is to sam. she didn't raise him; he doesn't know her except through the stories john and dean told him. she exists in pictures and print, not in memories. she's a stranger to him, yet his entire life has revolved around her. he seeks revenge for a woman he's never met or known or loved. she's just a secondhand god to a nonbeliever, omnipresent but never actually there, never actually touched or held or shared. he's outside the church looking in on the mass but never able to partake. it must be alienating, for your family to have known god while you're left only to your own faith.

#supernatural #sam winchester #sam's relationship to mary reminds me of like. growing up in the bible belt #there's an article i read a while back about how the south is haunted by christ #everpresent and distorted in a way you can never escape from. something that defines you no matter what you believe #i like to think sam is haunted by mary in the same way #.txt #sam #the winchester gospel #spn posting

People get mad that Christians find Christian messages in secular work and I'm just like... if you didn't want us associating the story with the truth, you shouldn't have made the message so true.

#always reminds me of how dr suess allegedly didnt want people using hhaw for pro-life imagery #when literally his words were 'a person's a person no matter how small' #and the story was about standing up for tiny people who can't stand up for themselves and some people dont even believe are alive #so like... no thats a pro-life story #if you didnt want that you should have made horton kill the whos and celebrate him for doing so #THAT would be pro-choixe

Hey, you! This is your daily reminder to stay alive!

You have no idea how many people would miss you if you were gone.

That one online friend who reblogs your posts. That one barista who always remembers how to spell your name. The kind old lady who lives down the street. The neighbor's kid who always tries to play video games with you. Your childhood friends. Your current friends. The people you aren't friends with yet, but want to befriend.

I remember learning about the death of a classmate, and being struck with a sudden emptiness. How could someone I knew just be gone in a blink? Even though she probably never thought of me, I thought of her. I'm thinking of you.

So many people think of you, love you, would miss you.

I know.

I know, it's really hard, but let's get through this. Together. Let's be each other's people. Let's think about each other as we keep on fighting.

Because I promise you, we can recover. Together.

Stay safe. I love you platonically.

--Ellis

#my art #project moon #limbus company #lcb dongbaek #style mimicry is hard and simple styles are even more deceptively difficult to replicate #i like how these turned out and it was fun in the end though #shading the hair is the hardest part i just kind of put shadows where ever and hoped it looked good enough #edit: it's kind of late but... new watermarks because im moderately paranoid #sorry to obnoxiously watermark these in a kind of ugly way + the noise filter but also at the same time im not #reminder to always visibly credit your icon art and ask permission if the artist asks you to #i hope anyone who uses uncredited art goes to hell no matter what #fanart

You know, I feel like other trans people might get this, but it's honestly kind of refreshing when a cis person has, like, undeniable tboy/tgirl/whatever swag. It's like when you come across somebody who speaks the same language as you and you only find out when they start speaking it, too.

#trans #transgender #lgbt #lgbtq #ftm #mtf #nonbinary #all this to say that we are existing on a rock hurling through space #and this universe is going to collide into another and does it all truly matter in the end? #a lot of this is based on ideas we have about what constitutes certain people and i think it can be a fun observation #so long as you do not inherently ascribe certain traits as being indicative of who somebody Is #it can be amusing when you're SO confident that somebody is a certain way until you realize how Wrong you were #the amusement for me only comes because it's like... 'you tried your best to box somebody and you FAILED lmao' #and in a weird way it's kind of comforting because it reminds me that we all come into this world with bias that Will be challenged... #...so the best thing you can do is recognize those biases and then try to overcome them through great effort... #...so yes maybe i did think that cis dude had tboy swag but. that's not inherently his problem you know? #it probably just means he's confident in his manhood in a way that reminds me of the trans men* i know and love #i noticed that in him and it reminded me of my friends who are trans so i think 'oh! maybe that's why he's giving off those vibes!' #so while i won't treat him any differently before or after finding out i was wrong i'm still going to appreciate the fact that... #...he and i are literally just Vibing on the same planet and we both don't have time for petty arguing about manhood #i'll acknowledge what inspired those thoughts in me but that is Not his problem and that's good and beautiful actually #i don't always mind the tboy/tgirl swag meme just so long as you don't treat it like an Inherent Trans Experience Only Trans People Have #just recognize where those ideas are inspired from and it's fine <3 #sometimes you will be Wrong and that's actually fucking neutral <<3 #anyway rant over i just think this is /generally/ harmless and fun #like astrology. sometimes you just look up your star sign without ascribing your Entire Life to it <3 #i think what i lot of people mean by saying a cis person has tboy/tgirl swag is just that... #...that cis person has an understanding of themself that comes from deep introspection that isn't necessarily expected of cis folk... #...but it is often something trans people do as part of our exploration of gender... #how is this the FIRST POST to reach tag limit... ask me for more thoughts if you want lol!
