*me reading old tags on my writing in an effort to get a crumb of serotonin*

#nice tumblr tags on my writing save me...#save me nice tumblr tags on my writing...#rambles from the floor #you all are so nice *wails*#sometimes I wonder if it's worth it #especially on like the AUs and things #that I get really self conscious about posting anything about #and then I read nice tags and it's like 'ohh people don't hate me actually ok'

idk why we as a species became so dependent on cars because owning one is so expensive, i wish i could do everything on foot or using public transportations :((

#all the money i could spend on useless items or to help my friends in need #sometimes i wonder if it's worth it #we need to start over as a society cuz we can't keep living like that #lu.txt

How was the movie?

I LOVE SPIDER-MAN

I LOVE BEING A SPIDER-MAN FAN

I LOVE BEING REWARDED FOR BEING A SPIDER-MAN FAN

#sci speaks #i'm so happy that spider-verse is just a complete feast for spider-man fans.#do you know! how disrespected most spider-man media makes me feel. the mcu HATES spider-man.#but spider-verse makes me feel so. so loved.#i think i prefer the first movie simply for the pacing and how self-contained it is #but god this one was such a delight and some scenes were just????????????? hoh my god????#every scene with miles and his mom. she was so. so wonderful.#hobie also. stole the show oh my god. i could stare at him all day.#it's so rough being a spider-man fan sometimes but it's all worth it when spider-verse comes and gives me the biggest sloppy kiss.#spider-verse says “you're a spider-man fan and that's a beautiful thing. we love you even if no one else does.”#also pavitr i'd die for you. i want to draw him so bad. he's so cute. he's so cute he's so cute. his hair... i want to kiss him.

My best advice to sick and disabled kids, as someone whose been sick to the point of disabilty since I was four, is to pick up a creative hobby. Learn to draw, take up knitting, learn the guitar if you're strong enough to hold one and take up ukulele if you're not. Do something that will stimulate your brain and give you the satisfaction of creation, as well as distraction.

My parents' idea of occupying my time thru appointments and infusions and hospitalizations and sick days was just piling me with books and video games. Which is fine! Great escapism, fun to do, saves you from boredom. But sometimes you don't need to escape, sometimes you need to create, and not knowing how or where to start fills you with a feeling of frustration and helplessness. Reading gave me a fantastic imagination and I created worlds in my head that I had no way of getting out to share or saving for posterity.

My parents had hobbies of their own. Mom's a fiber artist and dad's a musician, and I asked them repeatedly over my childhood to teach me what they were doing but they always waffled on it and never did. Hell I didn't even learn how to cook until I was eighteen. So I was left with books and video games and no sense of satisfaction in my ability to do anything.

I took up art in my mid twenties, mostly by watching YouTube tutorials or checking out how to draw books from the library. They say the best time to start is yesterday, but the second best time is to start is today. I don't create art every day. I have more pain and exhaustion days than I do creative days. But when I can create it feels empowering, and power is something I don't have as a disabled person.

And I'm not saying take up a creative hobby so you have something to sell to fall back financially when you're too sick to work (obvs if you want to you can, but that's not the point of this advice). Paint pictures just to hang up in your bedroom. Crochet clothes for your dog. Write songs with lyrics that only make sense to you. And if no one is willing to teach you these skills, seek out resources and basically teach yourself.

I don't know how to end this post, but I am begging every sick kid (and sick adults too, for that matter) to not just wait for your life to end, distracting yourself solely with passive hobbies like books and games that have been scripted out to have pre-determined endings decided for you. Find an outlet you can do to create, for your own sense of satisfaction if nothing else.

#disabilty #chronic illness #to be fair i did write quite a bit as a kid but i had no formal teaching beyond English classes in school so it went unnurtured #and when writers block hit as an adult i had nothing else to fall back on and that block lasted like five years #but i did take up art in that time #i also briefly played clarinet but i was kicked out of band for missing so much because i was sick and my parents returned the rental #now my lungs are too crap to play woodwinds #but seriously find something to do. anything that involves creation #as far as my parents never teaching me anything i sometimes wonder if they didn't think I'd live long enough to be worth investing in

Threshold Day is ending in my timezone and I just wanted to say that it was such a blast! I became a Voyager fan and started Trek posting in the past year and while I knew that Threshold Day was a Thing, I genuinely didn't think that so many people would earnestly participate. It's a silly fandom thing but it was so great to see so many people's wonderful art and memes. It really did cheer up a dreary winter Monday and I hope everyone carries the warp 10 salamander energy forward!

#really though i probably follow 60% star trek blogs but today my dash was 100% threshold #sometimes silly fandom things make life worth it <3 #every time i opened tumblr today i just got to go 🥺🥺🥺#yall are such wonderful creative people. can't wait until next year!!!!#my posts #threshold day

I love you theater. I love you college productions. I love you hometown shows. I love you high school shows. I love you broadway theaters. I love you staged readings. I love you in every form and every place and every effort that someone puts forth. I love you theater.

#Sometimes I wonder why I put so much effort into it #especially the more administrative parts #especially how much of my life I dedicate to it #and then I see a show #or watch back a show I was in or helped produce #and I know it’s worth it #it’s all worth it #theater

Every second that I’m not drawing it triggers my imposter syndrome :(

#if anyone is wondering how I post and draw so often it’s cause if I don’t the demons will come creeping up and tell me I’m not good enough #so fuckign annoying it happens everyday #sometimes it just feels like I’m drawing just to prove to myself that I’m good enough and that I’m worth something for once #vent #sorry I keep venting I promise I’ll stop soon

Just saw a post that said MLB is bad because it portrays Adrien as a victim (poor little white rich boy meow meow) and boyyyyy am I gritting my teeth about it. I wasn’t even in the salt tag, tumblr just recommended it to me for no reason

(It also said that the show is sexist which to be fair, yeah, it is sexist but to blame an abuse victim who has been brainwashed his entire life via mind control is a bit much)

MLB is bad because it portrays the abuse victim as a victim????

??????

I genuinely do not understand the idea that Adrien is somehow less of a victim because he is rich and white. In fact, I utterly loathe the very idea. It's such an awful thing to say, that someone's abuse does not matter because they are rich and white. But I'm not surprised, cause I have seen a lot of that victim blaming rhetoric in this fandom from a few Adrien salters who'll go like "Oh he's rich and white and privileged so it's up to him to grow a backbone, he has no excuse" and other deranged and rancid shit like that, and even people who've said with their whole chest that Adrien's abuse doesn't matter because he's a white boy (tbf they are a very very small minority but they're there).

And they may have said the show was sexist, but I doubt they really understand why the show is sexist. Here's a hint: it's not because the abuse victim is a white boy. That's such a ridiculous thing to focus on. My advice is to just block them and move on, they ain't worth your time and attention anon.

Thank you for your ask!

#MLB #Miraculous Ladybug #Adrien Agreste #Chat Noir #ML Salt #ML Fandom Salt #Asks #I really do love the fandom but sometimes I wonder if it's worth it if it means people get to spout abuse apologism like this

#random personal stuff #sometimes I think there can be an advantage to not having seen something for the first time as a kid but rather as an adult #less of the nostalgia goggles #but there are plenty of things that I'm glad I saw as a kid because rewatching them is like experiencing the joy you had in it at that age #critical/analytical skills in approaching media are very important and we should cultivate them of course #but retaining the way you engaged with stories as a kid - the excitement the wonder the investment the delight -#is maybe something worth doing #instead of going in looking for flaws and failures to meet sky-high standards...approach it as your younger self would have?#and you might enjoy it more?#anyway sorry this is incoherent #(this is about the weekly watch party and having to hear people criticize this show for doing things that were literally in the original?#and I am determined to look for the best partially out of sheer orneriness)#(I love the original show! but the pedestal is so very tall. too tall.)
