You know what? Let your OCs be overpowered and super hot. It’s not cringe, it’s good for the mental health.

different viewpoints

Whitemane: Okay, you're driving and Trollbane and Mograine walk into the road. Quick, what do you hit?

Nazgrim: Oh, definitely Mograine. I could never hurt Trollbane.

Whitemane, massaging her temples: The brakes. You hit the brakes.

A little story about how I recently met a new little buddy: Franky

Hey! It sure is dusty here haha. Didn’t come on tumblr for a long long while. I figured since it’s hard to post comic strips like this on twitter and instagram I’ll just use tumblr to share these : > pls enjoy~

have decided to abandon all my preconceived notions of self/attempts at presentation and become this guy

When it comes to aromanticism, I think it’s important to note that people view certain things differently in the context of romanticism and platonicism and sexuality.

For example, while one aromantic person may view hand-holding as romantic, another person may view it as platonic.

While one aromantic person may view cuddling as romantic, another person may view it as platonic.

While one aromantic person may view certain pet names as romantic, another person may view them as platonic or sexual.

And that’s not even the start of it. One aromantic person can have wildly different perspectives on certain activities than other aromantic person. And that’s okay.

Someone isn’t a “fake aromantic” if they’re comfortable with an activity you deem romantic, because they may view it as platonic or sexual- or maybe they’re just romance-favorable/neutral.

Aromanticism is an extremely personal and varying experience and that’s part of why it’s so beautiful.

nobody has been bullied for being a nerd since like 1990 and star wars and superheroes and video games have been mainstream to the point of oversaturation for like 20+ years now and adult man babies still have a persecution complex. may divorce be with you 

open and raw communication with your partner may be uncomfortable and feel so ugly and vulnerable but it solves soo many problems in the end

The idea that was sold to us of "love is effortless and you should communicate telepathically with your partner" is false. Love is awkward as hell. It's A LOT of straight up talking and realization of your self - your own needs. It's important to make those needs heard. Do not deny yourself full love

that idea robs us of so much intimacy, the intimacy that comes with honesty and vulnerability and being known.

i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave” 

at one point during the deal the professor turned to the woman selling it and he said “isn’t this just the most beautiful rubens you’ve ever seen outside of a museum?” (because the fbi had told him earlier that this piece had been stolen from a museum) and THEN he said “where on earth did you get it from?” and the group of people the woman had with her was like taxidermy-fox.png but the woman was like “inheritance” can you IMAGINE the fbi agent about to have a fucking aneurysm when this random guy you’ve brought in just to nod if it’s the right painting not only starts giving an impromptu lecture but then he asks how they got it

Are TikToks eligible for Academy awards?

No joke I’m still laughing oh my gosh

BROKE: most OCs are terribly written self-inserts or Mary Sues with the exception of a few well-written ones

WOKE: it’s unfair to generalize OCs as poorly written, especially on a platform which encourages budding authors to develop characters for what they may eventually intend to publish. furthermore, the standards to which we hold female/femme characters are astronomically higher than those we impose upon male characters, therefore the term Mary Sue is innately sexist

BESPOKE: all canon characters began as someone’s OC and plenty of them are still celebrated despite often inconsistent writing, especially certain male characters who are a thinly disguised self-insert onto which critically-acclaimed male authors have transparently projected their fantasies thereFORE who gives a shit if we use our OCs to rip out a part of ourselves and work through it in lieu of therapy when the world is crumbling around us. whether writing is your profession of your hobby, we should all get to be trash goblins.

Thank you for all of this.

my cat is incredibly sweet and wants nothing more than to be within a 5 ft radius of a person at all times, gently chilling in your orbit. he is also VERY, VERY DUMB 

it’s a slow morning so husband and I are reading, not making much noise. meanwhile, Barold goes downstairs to use his box and when he comes out, he starts yowling like his lil heart done broke. husband goes to to the top of the stairs all worried like, “Barold, what’s wrong?”

kitty zips back up the stairs and just oozes onto husband’s feet, purring high-powered lawnmower style. the realization hit us both at the same time…

this. boy. this itty bitty kitty boy. 

he couldn’t see or hear us for ten continuous seconds, forgot. we. were. home. and immediately burst into tears !!!!

I was just focusing on the fact that you named your cat Barold for the entirety of that post
