When You See Everyone In The Fandom Creating Such Amazing Art And You Want To Contribute But You Can’t Draw To Save Your Life

I envy you guys honestly 😢

It’s sad that toxic game culture is so prevalent cuz like. As someone who has ended up in random matches with kids before, I can attest to how fucking easy it is to reverse and un-teach shitty attitudes in kids.

Example: I downloaded Friday the 13th because it’s free on psn. I dunno how to play, so I just enter quick play and I’m matched with 3-4 kids on mic. Immediately on mic they’re shitty and disparaging to each other. They laugh at each others deaths, they actively work against team mates and self sabotage, they call each other “fags”, etc. From the sounds of the voices they cannot be older than 13-14.

I put on my mic and just decide I ain’t havin it. I am nice. I thank them for barricading doors or leaving me items. When they break free from Jason’s grasp I say “good job!” or I try to help them. One kid survived for most of the match by himself. When he dies, I tell him he did a fantastic job.

The mood shift is practically INSTANT. These kids almost immediately stop being dick heads. They start encouraging each other and being kind. After the match all of them try to friend request me. Which should tell you a couple of things:

A) kids want to be kind, and they want to have a nice time playing games. But encounters with adults like me or so rare that they’ve trained themselves to instantly put on a toxic, shitty, defensive veneer when encountering any new person online. It’s literally just THAT EASY to not groom a horrible gaming community, it’s just that NO ONE does it.

B) the speed of which they all tried to friend me was cute, but paints for me such a sad picture? Like these kids are SO desperate to find people to play with who aren’t crappy jerks. They played with me for 10 minutes TOPS and all instantly tried to reach out to me.

tl;dr: The kids are alright. Adults are shit heads.

My body does not have to be perfect to be loved by Allah (SWT)

– “Perfection” by Salamatullah Eldritch

I made a post a while back mainly talking about shitty takes from muslims on Tiktok, and ended up talking about my view of self-love, as someone who was born disabled and who has struggled with body image throughout my life. I decided a while back that I wanted to turn part of what I said into a poem and illustrate it, which was a bit ambitious, but I stuck to it. And here’s the final product. I’m pretty proud of it.

The verses in the background are the first 4 verses from Surah at-Tin, because it’s probably the verse I think about most when thinking about the idea of being made perfect.

So it’s my brothers birthday, and I got him something online a few weeks ago. For whatever stupid reason, it only started shipping yesterday and won’t be here for a while, so we printed off a picture of what I got him and we’re gonna give that to him today. The plan was to put it in an envelope or something, but then my mom asked if I’d wrapped my present to him yet. She quickly realized her mistake and corrected it, but I had already heard, and seeing as I am hugely pedantic, well...

Did I wrap a single slip of printer paper? Yes

Did I do it in Christmas wrapping paper? Also yes

Did I do a good job? Well, it turned out square, so we’re gonna go with no

I know some of these characters can be killed but you get my point lol 😂

This must’ve been done already but I’m a sucker for trinity shenanigans
