I was bullied in childhood and admittedly took it out on some kids who were ‘weirder’ than me. At the time, I didn’t really understand why I did it or why it made me feel... less like shit. That by no means excuse my actions. I was a piece of shit and it will haunt me for the rest of my days.
But I am not the same as I was, and I keep looking for ways to never be that person again.
I have spoken to one of the two people (that I am aware of) that I bullied, and I apologized to them. It was a chance meeting again, and I said I know I can’t take it back and that he doesn’t have to forgive me because I didn’t deserve that, but I hope that he’s doing good and wish him the happiness I robbed him of. To my knowledge, he hasn’t forgiven me. He put a nice face on during our conversation but after I left the skype call I was informed of how he felt... and I accept that. It serves as a reminder for me now to be better.
the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing
and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
AWWWWW YEAH NEW POST! This time it’s art for that Pokemon story I’m working on! owo Our grumpy grandma Charizard, Torch, providing warmth and shelter to the youngins during a rainstorm. She may look tough and grouch about her loss of quiet ever since the kids came around, but she ain’t foolin’ no one. She’s a softy. uwu
Also no worries about Torch in the rain; I like to think Fire-types, while vulnerable to water, aren’t so vulnerable that a bit of rain could hurt them. Especially the Char family; the flames at the tip of their tails can go out and they’ll be completely fine since that fire is generated from within; this is what allows Chars to swim or submerge themselves entirely with water, though they typically loath to.
Torch in particular actually likes the water; it helps her cool off uwu
BUUUT YEH! Feel free to ask any questions if ya have any. I hope ya like the art and keep your peepers peeled for incoming content soon! ^.^

A sword. Nothing crazy, just a little something I could throw together to feel like I wasn’t completely neglecting this blog.
Picture was found on Pintrest with no source, if anyone knows who its by please let me know.
Another friend birthday so another DnD character from our group gets a picture (luckily the last one for the year lol)
Magnar was once a dwarven prince but after getting eaten by a painting and then reincarnated has come back as a blue dragonborn… right before a blue dragon threatens the city. Bad timing!
