#something rewarding

[muslimintp-1999-girl]

All I see is that (South East) Asian women who want to study and work, not being allowed to do so and western women who want to stay at home, being forced to work just to afford the cost of living coz of capitalism & moving out once you're 18 culture. And that is so tragic, like women never get what they want.

(But like any extent or form of financial independence is so important and like I'm not asking anyone to go have like a cutthroat career with no time for family or life outside work but just try and put in some work towards having something of your own if you can coz the world isn't kind & you have to look after yourself at the end of the day.)

#women #also most of the time i want to work coz that's what i have always wanted and not coz of money. like inflation and all that shit does push #one to it too but like even if money wasn't a problem i would have liked to do something in a field/thing i cared about coz that itself is #something rewarding #like most incel asian men don't understand that women can like contributing to a field just as they like knitting or other hobbies #like that's a hobby too at the end of the day actually and i hate how it is always made out to be oh women want to be superior #or turned into some twisted thing that women hate men & are obsessed with money or are greedy etc etc #like no dummy maybe she just wants to study & grow little plants & if she's getting money for it why does that bother you? #idk why but im randomly too mad/angry today #desi and afghan women deserve better.

#oh donkey Arthur your 10 seconds of screen time will forever live in my heart #a small throw away joke to make Arthur look stupid? #no sir what you’re looking at is something so special and important to me #I’ve noticed that there’s a pattern for the episodes that’s like it goes a serieous episode followed by a silly filler episode #so actually it goes plot then filler I’m realising I just hadn’t used proper terms for it cause I’m stupid #but after the last episodes of s2 and then the two at the beginning of s3 #I was waiting for my silly episode reward #and boy howdy that was a silly episode #(im sick atm please just polite laugh and nod and be on your way) #my art #Merlin #bbc merlin #arthur pendragon

You're not uniquely talented or hard working you just went to the right schools.

Yes, yes! This is exactly why I started Philosophy Tube! Why shouldn't someone else, anyone else, have access to the education I got??? The intellectual and cultural heritage of our species is for everyone, not just privileged people like me! :)

#something else I'm learning from friends with ADHD is that I'm privileged to have the kind of brain that works in a way our society rewards #AND the institutions that I was able to attend and use to grow were often themselves the product of a society that not only excluded #but actively exploited other people! #And still do! #So not only should we widen access #We should give people the power to critique those institutions too #Education should give you power over your own life

"this female character is underdeveloped" TO YOU. I can read subtext and I know all about her backstory and her rich inner life. also she told me personally

#I honestly think that one of the most enriching and rewarding parts of writing fanfiction is getting to #fully flesh out and explore a character who gets some but not-quite-enough characterization in canon #unless the character is REALLY minor there are always so many threads to pull out and weave into something new #you can even deconstruct the marketing materials! oh this character is only described as 'beautiful'? wonder how she feels about that hmmm #my original post #writing #fanfic #I'm just really proud of what I've been able to do with Miss T. it's almost all right there in the script and lyrics if you'd only look!

it takes a really long time to unlearn but there's no such thing as "cheating" or "half-assing" being a person. if you need to leave the cabinet doors open, leave them open. microwave your tea. sit down in the shower. buy the eggmaker. use your phone to calculate tip.

it's mostly fake posterity rules. who cares if you microwave your dinners. who cares if you use instant coffee. who cares if you stop watching the show that got boring. we all have a different set of skills and a different life and taking care of yourself is fucking hard.

at the end of your life there will be no final scoreboard. nobody is going to judge you because you brushed your teeth in the shower. there will be no final count of the number of times you had the same meal five nights in a row. there will be no fanfare or party because you won at being a person - and no one will be disappointed that you never understood the point of using paper towels to dry your hands off after washing them.

yeah, in this world, people will put up a fuss. i've noticed some of the biggest fusses are over what you'll put in/on your body. the fact that i will regularly eat deli meat straight out of the bag makes a lot of people genuinely concerned for me. but here's the thing: sometimes that's the only way i'm getting any protein. my doctor says i am doing fine. i'm sticking to my weird snacks and calling it deconstructed charcuterie.

they'll say they're horrified because you take a shortcut. that's fine. it's just that it looks like a shortcut to them because they're on a different life path. these kinds of things stand out to them as important. that's fine too. but for you? you've got other things that already make you pretty hard working. and these tiny things - well, they're just clutter on your journey.

#before any motherfucker is like <3 #''i know more about this and it IS WRONG to do this THING'' #shhhhh #unless ur a doctor and a patient has specifically asked... shut the FUCK up dude #one of the ways my life has changed in the last few years is like #taking coffee for granted #isn't something i can do #can you stand up for the entirety of making a meal? i can't always #and having some pompousass person be like #MICROWAVE THE WATER? FOR TEA? like . yeah actually i've been in prison for it ever since #''it tastes different!!!'' cool. it's not going into yOUR body. #i personally don't ever make hot chocolate with water. only ever oat/soy milk #but i wouldn't be like ... SIR. I WILL NOW JUDGE THEE #it's just like ableism all the way down innit #ableism and classism and #the expectation of the mental load as a form of being ''good'' #also. besides the like. pots and [redacted medical information] #im doing GREAT actually #>:) i have visible abs even when not flexing #it's bc god prefers me as a lesbian n has rewarded me lately for presenting more openly

Lucifer, at his Fall

Having been consumed by his own flames of adoration, Lucifer has been left a hollowed husk of ash and cinder. Until the end he maintained to his angels that God would rejoice in their rebellion against Hell, that this test was meant to purify them in fire to come out as flawless gold in the strength of their convictions. Only once he plummeted from Heaven, agonizingly devoured by his own fire, did he realize how deeply, irrevocably wrong he had been. He never believed God could hate, and now he was the subject of his unmitigated wrath with the angels he had dragged down with him. Here, in a last plea for mercy, he reaches out not to God in his perfect hatred, but to his fellow angels, that they might deliver him from such evil. Soon after, however, he would be cast down to Hell with all his followers, with only Michael coming to bind him.

#fallen lucifer (non-dragon form. im still working on it uwahh) #he feels utterly responsible for all the angels who believed in him #because he told them over and over that they were doing the right thing and god would reward them #i wanted to very much keep his silhouette the same #but now with a body that looks like ashen wood #and black smoke billowing out continuously in place of his flames #he's got little sparks though. trying to light his flame and forever drifting up to heaven #he makes me very sad.... #lucifer #ultrakill oc #sort of? he's canon ig but hakita will come up with something much cooler than me!! #doodle tag

"8-10 hours" baby I can stretch this eldritch fishing game out forever.

I'm shooting for day 365. I'm hitting that one year anniversary. maybe the shady mayor will throw me a little party. I worked in a call center the Horrors don't scare me

#dredge #dredge game #i am obsessed with this little fishing game #it scratches the adhd like nothing else #every day i set off with a vague sense of purpose #and every day i get distracted by something shiny and do something completely different #and it's!! always good!! #the game has a main story line but rewards you for exploring

one of the most complex and delicious choices they made with misty is that she genuinely understands what kind of attention is valuable. they crafted this character who is so desperate for love, so hungry for attention and companionship and recognition, a woman who would doom her entire team to a life in the wilds just to hear one more nice thing said about her, and then they put her in a position to grab at fame. when the team is rescued, misty would have been barraged with offers to tell her story. media appearances, interviews, book deals. people would be able to recognize her on the streets, she would have been (at the very least) a local celebrity for the rest of her life. she smiles when she sees the flash of the cameras getting off the plane; she wants to be seen, and the offer is right there in her lap.

instead, she stays silent. she stays out of the limelight, she says as little as possible, just like they all made a pact to do. can you imagine just how difficult it was for her to say no? for her to see that people would be falling over themselves just to talk to her, that she could have used what happened to make connections, make friends, be famous and lauded, sympathized with, talked to, complimented. she could have told the world how SHE was the one who saved them, who got them through the worst moments of their lives when the plane crashed.

and the price for all of that is to admit to some cannibalism? she has no shame about what happened. she eats jerky and wears heart necklaces and remembers the wilderness with open fondness. besides, she knows how to sell herself, how to spin what happened. when she pretends with jessica, she paints the perfect portrait of a victim, the perfectly sympathetic survivor wracked with guilt for what she had to do.

all of that is right there within her grasp. so why doesn't she go public? she displays absolutely zero guilt over breaking the black box, or anything else she did in the wilderness. literally the only reason she never breaks the silence is to protect her team. her friends. to honor whatever pact they made. a pact she makes in '98, when they're still together. when she thinks their lives are all so deeply entangled and their bond is so permanent and unshakeable that it would be easy to choose this family over public attention. it makes sense that she keeps quiet in the beginning.

but the team breaks up, and as far as misty knows they all go their separate ways. still, misty stays quiet. years pass and no one calls her, no one visits. so she goes on unsuccessful dates and works a job where her co-workers seem to barely tolerate her. she gives socks to gross men who still don't call and lives alone and gets a parrot who never talks to her.

she spends her adult life living with her loneliness because the people she loves asked her to, and then forgot she existed.

25 years of this deep sense of loneliness and she never wavers. never tries to tell her story or make a grab for the fame she knows she could still get when she looks at "25th anniversary" splashed over the tabloids. in a world that has grown up around her to create social media and influencers and viral posts. every single day it would have gotten easier for misty to reach out and take even a small slice of the attention she so badly wanted her whole life.

instead, she quietly follows her actual friends. she tracks weddings she's not invited to and the birth of children she'll never meet. she registers to vote for a woman who might not even know she's still alive, and decides that it's enough. that 25-year-old memories of true connection are better than acknowledgement from a million strangers. she collects all of these little details and files them neatly, an umbilical cord of connection that she is the only one supporting. like this information will be important again, relevant again. she sustains herself for twenty-five years off of the mere possibility that maybe, somehow, someday, she will be part of her team again.

and then, like finding the flashing red light of a black box while she's all alone, the universe rewards her.

Into the confessionary a little spider walked

Mind not quite there

Quite lost

Memories scrambled around, confused

Pain flaring up, things that shouldn't have been said out

Siblings falling apart

Guilt over forgotten acts

#cotl shamura #shamura cotl #cotl #my art #fan art #digital art #Although nowadays Shamura sees the other ex-bishops as family #its not a lie to say that at first they took them in out of convenience #Kallamar once begged for his life when he was no more than a young god #round eye of his crown looking into Shamura's eyes #whispering things #Shamura initially took them all in out of convenience #They were the God of Wisdom and War they knew that to win the one they were in they needed resources #powerful ones #A many legged creature once walked into their web -terrified of the world and what it had become of it #a newborn god -harbinger of bad luck- was found in the middle of a dead plain #one with an anger immense enough to consume the whole world was given a reward- and then a task #and the one who looked for a purpose proved himself useful #They initially took them in out of convenience #and then war ended #and things changed for the spider #they took them all in out of convenience #something never said out loud #something they were all aware about but refused to speak of #the truth spoken into the wind stung more than they all thought it would

I have pondered about sending this ask, believing I would bother you. But I love to receive compliments, so I think you would too. Your artworks have a softness to them, the most intimate moment are quiet and filled with warmth. You have a way of conveying emotions through body language, down to the smallest of fingers. When pain is shown, it is burning, rough and powerful. You are my biggest inspiration, I always am eager to discover and rediscover your artworks, be it sketch or fully rendered art.

Aw gosh, thank you for your kind words! The way you worded it sounds so poetic, I'm flattered ;_; 🧡

#answered #mokusai #this isn't directed at you specifically but it's something I've started to notice recently #lots of people begin their messages with apologising for bothering me #I get that it's a polite thing to do but it's really not necessary at all #the chances of you bothering me are extremely low #getting asks/comments/etc is wonderful and rewarding and always fuels my motivation to keep posting these things #I feel lucky for being surrounded by people who engage with my stuff so actively #and seem to be genuinely interested in my art and characters #even if I can't get back to everyone I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to me

mdzs is about the TRAGEDY

tgcf is about the PINING

svsss is about fucking your TEACHER

#mdzs is a tragedy tgcf is a romance svsss is um. something. (it’s a comedy) #i think there’s a tweet very similar to this but it deserves to be said again akdkdks #this post is sponsored by me finishing all 3 mxtx books and thinking about what i like in mdzs vs tgcf #mdzs follows a lot of typical tragedy beats and that’s what i love about it #and tgcf is very much a romance where people who act in the name of love (namely hc and xl) are rewarded by the plot #maybe that’s a longer post someday though today it’s mostly a joke #tgcf #mdzs #svsss #tian guan ci fu #mo dao zu shi #scum villian self saving system #hualian #wangxian #bingqiu #mxtx #mo xiang tong xiu
