this has probably been done before but idc im curious
(using "people who chose their own name" instead of mentioning trans people specifically because not all trans people change their name and not everyone who changes their name identifies as trans)
(if you have multiple names, pick an option based on whichever one you like)
I will be like "I'm fine" and then another fucking event will occur

genuinely i think the hardest thing ive ever had to learn in my life is that even the relationships (platonic, familial, etc) that you thought were strongest and relied most heavily on can disintegrate in the right circumstances like yes even the one you think that could never happen to. and that's something i learned when i was already YEARS deep in aro theory and activism bc it's just that ingrained that you Should have that permanent safety net and yeah maybe you should and it doesn't mean you shouldn't invest in people and relationships and it doesn't make transitory relationships less important it literally just is a fact that the Only specific person you can Always rely on is yourself and that's okay. alexa play no one is alone from into the woods.
“I’m becoming who I am and it’s the scariest thing I’ve ever done.” Posted from the PostSecret website.
For years I would look at posts and questionnaires about neurodivergence that takes about being so focused on something that you forgot to eat and be like, "Couldn't be me. Being hungry is so uncomfortable! Your stomach is growling and cramping? How do you ignore that?"
Then someone informed me that neurotypical people have a whole bunch of "hungry" sensations before they get to that point.....
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

in all seriousness it's very alienating knowing theres Something Wrong With You. like seeing your mental illness come through in your behaviour and thought processes and knowing it's irrational and unhealthy, knowing other people are reading you as weird or stupid, and not being able to do anything about it is such a lonely experience
I’ve often heard and seen mental illness be compared to having a lil demon in your brain but i disagree because demons are cool and sexy and my illnesses are quite frankly stupid losers. I think pyramid scheme promoter is a lot more fitting all things considered.
you can't oppression olympics your way out of how your trauma affected you.

why is explaining a villains sad backstory always taken as an effort toward excusing their actions. why does the conversation need to involve the question of excusing anything rather than just making their present behavior way more interesting by complicating their feelings or their motivations. why is acknowledging complicated feelings or motivations taken as apologism in and of itself. why is everyone so incredibly boring
what was i made for?

male gaze is not 'when person look sexy' or 'when misogynist make film'
death of the author is not 'miku wrote this'
I don't think you have to read either essay to grasp the basic concepts
death of the author means that once a work is complete, what the author believes it to mean is irrelevant to critical analysis of what's in the text. it means when analysing the meaning of a text you prioritise reader interpretation above author intention, and that an interpretation can hold valid meaning even if it's utterly unintentional on the part of the person who created the thing. it doesn't mean 'i can ignore that the person who made this is a bigot' - it may in fact often mean 'this piece of art holds a lot of bigoted meanings that the author probably wasn't intentionally trying to convey but did anyway, and it's worth addressing that on its own terms regardless of whether the author recognises it's there.' it's important to understand because most artists are not consciously and vocally aware of all the possible meanings of their art, and because art is communal and interpretive. and because what somebody thinks they mean, what you think somebody means, and what a text is saying to you are three entirely different things and it's important to be able to tell the difference.
male gaze is a cinematographic theory on how films construct subjectivity (ie who you identify with and who you look at). it argues that film language assumes that the watcher is a (cis straight white hegemonically normative) man, and treats men as relatable subjects and women as unknowable objects - men as people with interior lives and women as things to be looked at or interacted with but not related to. this includes sexual objectification and voyeurism, but it doesn't mean 'finding a lady sexy' or 'looking with a sexual lens', it means the ways in which visual languages strip women of interiority and encourage us to understand only men as relatable people. it's important to understand this because not all related gaze theories are sexual in nature and if you can't get a grip on male gaze beyond 'sexual imagery', you're really going to struggle with concepts of white or abled or cis subjectivities.
was gonna make a comp of stuff from the various interesting things from th various muppet style guides but this one hit so hard i had t post it on its own
At 18, everyone receive a superpower. Your childhood friend got a power-absorption, your best friends got time control, and they quickly rise into top 100 most powerful superheroes. You got a mediocre superpower, but somehow got into the top 10. Today they visit you asking how you did it.
Just once I want there to be one of those big narrative epic games-as-film type video games that forces you to be a faggot. Not "there's a male romance option" no "optional romances" at all not only is the MC gay, he is having 20 minutes of unskippable gay kissing spread across 80 hours of cutscenes and it is integral to the story and if you skip past the gay kissing you will miss vital plot beats. For the next 400 hours of gameplay you are a homosexual and you are going to LIKE it.

Sometimes I think about my FNAF art from 2015, and how my mum literally printed and taped it to the house's front door. They were so bad, but I was stupidly fond of wishing my old awful fnaf oc goodbye at the door every time I left
hi, I have an odd question. Is it normal to be 16 yet still really want a plushie? I love Bluey, and the episode "Cricket" means a lot to me, since I'm in a tough spot in my life right now, it's actually my favorite episode. Ever since I watched that episode, Rusty is my favorite character and I'd really like a plushie of him. However, I can't get one because my parents don't approve of it. (the only way I can get one is thru Amazon, and I need their permission if I want to order something online.)
I wasn't gonna answer any asks right now, but this one is easy!
Yes it's normal and okay to be 16 and want a plushie!
I'm 40 and I sleep with a plushie, plus I collect them!
And that's not all of them!
I'm sorry you can't get one yet...but I hope you can soon!
A dream of mine is to eventually complete an entire tarot deck - at least the major arcana. This is the very first of them - The Lovers. I experimented with creating depth by bringing the tail loops up off the ground fabric but maintaining my stitches as seamlessly as possible.
This piece is one of the largest I've made to date, measuring twenty inches tall by ten inches wide. It was so difficult!!!!
Kind of hard to believe there was once a time where a legitimate genre of post was "my mom says if this gets 2k notes she'll buy me a doughnut" and everyone would just. go ham
i've experienced popping and cracking in all of the above so i wanna know how normal this is
