#y'all are valid okay

[romance-evil-aro]

when will the aro community stop enforcing the false dichotomy of loveless/romance repulsed aros vs romance favourable aros? there is nuance. there is grey area. justice for the aros whose relationship with romance is more complicated than that

#aromantic #aro #genuinely never see anything abt us it's always 'shout out to romo aros' 'shoutout to aros who hate romance in all contexts' #not to be all 'what about us' but like. do y'all think we aren't valid because we don't fit into your neat little boxes #'cause that's bullshit #it is OKAY to have a messy relationship with romance !!!!

Most modern cartoon fandoms today: "Animation is for everyone! Cartoons are good to watch!"

Also most modern cartoon fandoms today:

a cartoon show without ships, representation, "traumatic/dark moments with therapy-needed characters" & lore is FINE, not INCOMPLETE for a certain one

god i'm so tired by this phenomenal trend of hypocritical-biased criticism

THANK YOU Only Friends for saying that trying to quit for someone or something other than yourself is fine. The addictologist didn't even question it and I might have shed a little tear.

I've seen many people say that Ray had to want it for himself, much like Sand stated, and I get that. I get what you mean. Ideally, that's what would happen. But the situation isn't ideal and, with his self esteem currently being a tripping hazard in hell, Ray can't do that. He can do it for Sand though.

And that's fine too. What matters right now is that he quits drinking. Doing it for Sand puts his recovery on shaky grounds, but shaky grounds is better than sinking lower and lower. As he drinks less, and addresses his issues and trauma and doubts, he might grow strong enough to stay sober for himself. Doing it for Sand is a good enough start, a huge step forward. He could say he wants to quit because he keeps spilling beer on his favorite Teddy bear and I wouldn't care. He could do it for Britney Spears. He could stop drinking for a rock. Whatever. What matters is the first step taken.

It kind of reminds me of a very bad depression I had. As in really, really bad. I couldn't do anything. I didn't even want to do things anymore. What kept me from letting myself rot wasn't self love. Hell, I did it for my dog and for a book -yup, a book. I had been waiting for it to be released for almost a year at that point, so why not focus on that ? A couple months and the book would be out. I kept taking my meds in the meantime, and the depressive episode reached its end eventually. Self love and dreams were beyond reach, but my dog and a book weren't.

So hell yeah, Ray ! Quit for Sand, do it, and then you can keep moving forward. GO RAY GO

#what matters is to start #that's the only way you can go forward #I don't care what keeps you alive or safe or sober at your darkest hours #what matters is that you stick to it #you can heal from there #but I promise y'all it's okay not to do things for yourself at first #it comes bit by bit as you heal #your reasons are valid fuck anyone who says otherwise #only friends the series #only friends #tw suicide mention #tw alcoholism #tw alcohol

This took me four hours and cost me a finger blister. Enjoy.

#Backstory behind this here: #Okay so I like REALLY struggle with anime and simplistic styles #Because I spent so long thinking the only way my art was valid was if it was realistic #So I spent so long trying to get proportions right> that now I REALLY struggle with cartoon #Anime and more simple styles #Because it's just build in me to try and get it to look 'perfect' #And anime proportions are very VERY unrealistic. It's hard to get them right when the eye placement needs to be perfect AND big and the #Nose and mouth are hella tiny. So usually when I've tried to draw anime it looks DOGWATER. So recently #I had some friends give me an anime character to practice the style with and ofc they picked yugi's dork ass with the hardest hairstyle eve #Anyways...not only did this take like four hours I was also playing fortnight the whole time while drawing...and #My DUMBASS colored in the right pupil instead of leaving it white ..anyways it actually doesn't look wonky so I'm kinda proud #Hope y'all like it #Talon.scribbles #yami yugi #yugioh #Yugi #Jeep.jeep #Traditional art #Anime #Illustration #artists on tumblr

Okay, real talk - how soon after posting a chapter is too soon to start worrying that none of your regulars have commented on it yet?

#to be clear I'm not concerned about Not Getting Validation™ #it's more of an 'are they okay??? did something happen???' type situation #I usually have at least one comment by the time I get off work on Wednesdays #but not today #I keep telling myself that it's the holiday season and All Is Stress #but seriously y'all if you're seeing this just send me a message and let me know you're okay? #I don't care if you've read the chapter I care if you're alive/safe

[cowcowwow]

Hey y'all. So, you guys might have noticed that I've been kinda inactive/not responding to messages quickly. I wanted to apologize, but also warn that this might not get better soon?

The main reasons I haven't been responding is because either, my wrists are hurting so bad that I can't type for long (or my other chronic pain is acting up), I'm so tired that I can't think of interacting, I'm helping out my family, or I'm having a bad episode(?) (Not entirely what's going on on those days, to be real)

I'm sorry, but I do have a happier note!! I want to say, thank you all so much if you have messaged me, interacted with me, reblogged from me, anything, recently. It makes these days so much lighter, makes me so much happier, even if I can't respond.

And to my friends who message me frequently: thank you. I love you all so, so much. I really really want to reply soon hopefully, but in the meantime know that you guys are so sweet, so fun, so awesome, and I love you 💙💙

(And to my friends who I haven't talked with in a bit, love you guys too <333)

#I've been in a bit of a sad rut because the doctors keep saying they can't help me #meanwhile the pain is getting worse #and it scares me. the idea that I might not get better... #but at the very least #my dad has been trying so hard to help #and recently got me wrist braces which are a LIFESAVER #so I actually might be able to type or draw more soon?? we'll see #but yeah. we're gonna keep moving forward #my dad says he's confident that we'll find something to help me #so we're going to do just that :) #I promise #usually I don't like apologizing for not responding because I think it's incredibly fine and valid and okay if someone doesn't respond to me #but I guess I just wanted to let y'all know what's going on? #wanted to be understood methinks #fgdvdbb sorry if this was. a bit of a downer #thank you though. if you've read this far :) <3333 #love you all #also also #love you so much Owl and Strawber :] 💙💙💖💕 thank you guys for messaging me <333 #cow talks #tw vent #kinda #vent

puffs cigarette. im putting everyone who insists garrus is autistic-coded in a saw trap and they have 5 minutes to explain why they think so, using actual canon not just fanon, without stereotyping autistic people or the trap goes off. also i am sitting in the room with a gun and if they list either false evidence or false symptoms i shoot the trap to make it go faster

#as an autistic person. none of you know what autism actually is. #it's okay to have headcanons it's okay to say 'idk i just want him to be'! that's valid! #but so many of y'all INSIST it's supported by canon and then you don't actually fucking cite canon or real symptoms #saw somebody claim his obsession with justice is a real diagnostic criterion. i was professionally diagnosed no the fuck it isn't

[radio-heads]

went into the quarry tag for the first time in a minute and it was all travis x laura i want to scream.

there was so much of it and for what 😭😭😭 max and laura are so in love, who looked at travis and laura interactions and said "mm yeah that's sexy, they totally want each other"

filtering tags is a blessing and ig i forgot to do it. i am at fault for the psychological damage i got going through the quarry tag, but i won't make that mistake again.

#psychological AND emotional damage #the quarry #laura kearney #max brinly #the laurax is top tier okay #for laura i personally ship her the most with max bc they are very clearly in love #i respect other counselor ships #y'all are so valid!! and i completely get it #honestly all of the counselor ships are great in their own way #but shipping the counselors with people 3x their age?? #bestie😭 #give me disgruntled uncles and adoptive father figures w their unruly kids #not smut 😭😭😭

[dum-vivere-vinum-rubrum]

The fact that I'm constantly comparing myself to people who started to draw years before me, with better drawing material and who are just simply way older than me is hilarious even if it makes me me cry 💀

Like bruh I just have my phone screen, a sketchbook, a basic shitty pencil and a few markers-

Anyway y'all fellow artists are amazing persons 🫶🫶🫶 and the other ones too guys y'all are rockstars ❤️

#art #vent ? #idk tbh #don't forget to drink water #and eat #and don't choke your feelings #y'all are valid 🫶🫶🫶 #okay that escalated quickly :o #love u guys

about the pro-allison thingy...

I am one of the firm advocates and believers that Allison Reynolds would either go pro or do both (fashion and exy) but recently, I’ve been thinking about her ec and I think I’m beginning to see where Nora came from.

The short summary of the argument for the point of Allison choosing to go pro is this: Allison gave up her millions of dollars of inheritance for exy, got disowned for persisting to play it, and pretty much chose a bastard sport over her privileges. She fought tooth and nail to be a part of the court and despite her looks, she brawled with the best and the best. Therefore, it’s only natural that she pursues it in the future, right? Right??

That’s what I thought too, but then that leaves a new question unanswered: why is it given that she pursues it in the future? Does that mean an effort of fighting for something you love is futile unless it’s the end goal? Does your passion for something need to be your destination for it to be a worthy dream to fight for?

And I will be completely contradicting my prior Allison-centric posts but no, I think the answer is no. Because the truth is, Allison didn’t fought for exy. Exy was the thing that made her fight back from her controlling and overbearing parents, it was the thing that made her feel alive and free. And while she chose to play collegiate exy over her millions of inheritance, it isn’t something she necessarily see pursuing in the future and I think that’s okay. It doesn’t make her fight for it worthless and it wouldn’t render that choice a downgrade to her character because the fight wasn’t about exy at all. It’s about what she wants and exy just so happened to be the catalyst at that moment. She didn’t gave everything up for a sport she ended up not pursuing full-time— she gave it all up for control of her life. And if what pushes her to do so is not a dream she plans to pursue full-time but a mere hobby that she could come back to from time to time, something that gives her a short thrill but not the thing that she can see herself doing for the rest of her life, the stop point or journey along the way but not necessarily the destination— is that really so wrong?

#i had a point and i'm pretty sure i can articulate it better in my native language but u'r stuck with this and maybe that's okay too <33 #all for the game #aftg #the foxhole court #the raven king #the king's men #nora sakavic #allison reynolds #i guess what i'm trying to say is that is it really a waste to fight for something if it's not the thing u'll pursue in the future? #like can't we just fight for what we want now regardless if it's a forever thing?? #does it need to be a lifetime pursuit or can't we just fight for what we want without catering to anyone's expectations?? #idk i'm just saying can't we be passionate just for the sake that we love it #i swear i could articulate this better in my native language y'all english is hard #give it a few days i'm sure someone in the fandom could articulate this better than i ever could lol #i still like the idea of allison going pro but i don't mind now if she pursues being in fashion full time #like good for her whatever makes her happy u go girlboss #also in another edition of me reaching cuz i'm pretty sure nora didn't thought this deep abt it but if she ever did honestly respecc bruhh #also supplemental: in the chance that what she is fighting for is actually exy it still doesn't mean she has to go all the way #your passion is still valid regardless if you go full-time or nadda #this took a peachy preachy turn lmao i'm leaving if u'r reading this hi ily <33 #bye #raeraegoaway

eh. im okay with Thua snapping as he did. fuck it.

#the eclipse #the eclipse series #the eclipse the series #'he shouldn't have done that!' #okay but have you considered you're not just angry at what he did #but because the character suddenly made a hard left turn from where you had assigned him to be #in your perception of him as a character? #cuz y'all do be valid with your takes #not nice #may feel out of character #but i assure you if you go back and watch from day one you're probably going to be like #yeah no makes sense #i would have snapped a long time ago #what he did was mild in comparison to what he went through to be honest #sorry collateral damage #plus he's like. 18? yeah. it tracks. #akkayan #kanthua #and unlike everyone so far he immediately went #do what you have to #i'll own up to the consequences #im not saying he was *right* #im saying it does make sense #proud of him honestly
