Im still shaking, but i finally booked my first therapy session. After being intimidated by that for like multiple years, I finally took the first step.
I feel kinda hopeful for the first time in a long time.
This is your sign to step up for yourself <3
I need to put a shelf up on my wall but for now the only part of my bookshelf with enough space for my picture frame is subsequently also the one where I have all my 'children's books' so you can bet your socks that there is now hatsune miku fanart next to my collection of horrible histories
Have you blown your nose today?
It might be a good idea. You probably hadn’t even realized you were breathing through your mouth just then huh? Yeah that’s why your throats so dry. Go drink some water and blow your nose and hell while your up might as well go to the bathroom.
Look after yourself, you’re a good person and you deserve to be looked after.
If you have written a Batman story that you think is actually legit, go ahead and submit that to DC. They are in the business of selling stories and they've made plenty of crazy little one-shots.
Look at Batman: Reign of Terror, where it's set in 18th century France. Robin is Bruce's little sister, Rochelle (the true title-holder of Most Ignored Robin by the Fandom). They're fighting Herve Deinte.
If that isn't the result of two special interests colliding with someone taking a chance to put it in production, then I didn't know what is.
I believe so many of you are capable of turning your fanfic dreams into legit comics. (Maybe not as blatant in certain cases, but there could be hints and casual asides, a post-it in the background, etc.)
Just wanted to say this since I struggle with it as well.
You are not selfish or mean for shifting to escape
You are not selfish or mean for shifting for love
You are not selfish or mean for scripting a diff family
You are not selfish or mean if you feel jealous that other people have shifted and you haven’t (your feelings are valid and don’t ignore them)
You are not selfish or mean if you can’t remain positive 24/7 (this is toxic positivity and is bad for your mental health)
It’s okay to feel sad, mad, angry, upset, jealous, or tired. Don’t ignore those feelings, it won’t help.
Take a breath, you may feel stuck but you aren’t. The universe is not out to get you, they love you and so does your subconscious.
YOU WILL SHIFT
ily so much and please believe in your capability to do anything you desire! ❤️
I have too many fucking things to draw HELP MEEEEEEEEEEEEE
more on this crossover i think sanji and wolfwoods aura would cancel out and they'd fucking hate each other
To be serious for a second- art block is a serious thing( and this is for everyone):
Remember to take your time, even if you need to take a break from art
Don’t force yourself to draw anything you don’t want ( line art, rendering, complex char, etc.)
Maybe try some art studies- these usually help me ( anatomy, maybe an artstyle you’ve admired for a long time, or replicate different art you find on Pinterest )
Ex:
I know art block can be stressful especially when your job is your art, but nobody wins if you hurt yourself trying to force yourself through it.
I need to stop having art block
IM TOO POOR FOR THAT
she will do her best. like/rb if u believe in her.
go mirko, go!
“keep working hard, rumi. you can be a hero, too!”
Sometimes, my friends will say something to the effect of "I can't create art, I dont have the skill."
Bestie, you do not need to be the next Picasso, Tolkien, or Michelanglo to be an artist. What it takes to be an artist is a desire to create and improve.
Its like climbing a mountain. If you stare at the top, you miss the step in front.
You do not have to create anything beautiful, not even in your eyes. You just need to take the next step.
Side note: i notice this the most with people who are neurodivergent. This may be because we often come to the conclusion that we are less than. You aren't lesser, regardless of your ability. A lesser artist is one who does not try.
don’t kys queen otherwise you can’t say you survived your codependent homoerotic teenage friendship!!
Please, spread this for those who might need it right now

I go through lots of these moments and I hate to know that others go through this. I just want everyone to know that it does get better. It’s such a hard battle to fight but life is too beautiful to give up. You’re going to wake up one day and be genuinely happy with your life and all this will be a bad memory. I will always be in your corners and I’m here if anyone needs a shoulder to cry on. You’ve got this. I believe in all of you. Win this crazy battle called life❤️
everyday i wake up wishing i hadn't.
“Just stay alive, that would be enough” - That Would Be Enough, Hamilton (2017)
I love that this quote (out of context) is kind of a reminder that you being alive is good enough. You don’t need to do something crazy with your life or do something amazing for you or your life to matter. You just living and being on this earth is enough.
Boy, I jumped, wtf—
Max went "double the problem and give to a friend"
Deserved swearing to Williams though
got a crazy fic brewing.. i just need to find the time/motivation to actually write it
Americans, did you know there were mass protests all across the country over Super Bowl weekend?
Coast-to-coast, from DC...
... to Portland
... from blue states
... to red states
And nary but *crickets* from the national media. The revolution is NOT being televised, it is being suppressed.
Just remember, you are NOT alone. People ARE doing things. You will meet those people when YOU start doing things.
But we cannot rely on the courts alone. Trump is already defying numerous restraining orders, and the Executive branch controls the enforcement arm of federal law (U.S. Marshals Service).
When Trump inevitably refuses to comply with the courts and directs the DOJ/U.S. Marshals to stand down, effectively neutering the Judicial branch of the government, it will signal THE END OF U.S. DEMOCRACY.
Our only recourse will be to take to the streets. WE THE PEOPLE, need to demand rule of law by asserting our First Amendment right to assemble while we still have it.
Rise up against tyranny/oligarchy/white supremacy/you-name-it
JOIN THE REVOLUTION! National Day of Protest Presidents' Day | February 17, 2025
And pledge to join the General Strike.
My heart goes out to the girls retaking their gcses and fumbling foundation maths. You truly are gods strongest soldiers and i wait for you on the other side of the tunnel.
-sincerely, a bitch who passed higher maths
I've begun to notice something
I no longer hate the face I see in the mirror. I no longer scrutinize every feature on my face. I like my hair. I like my eyes. I look in the mirror and smile instead of grimace.
Sometimes I catch myself checking myself out, feeling good, and I giggle and turn away embarrassed, but as I turn I catch a glimpse of the joy on my face, that's when I look the best I think.
I still avoid mirrors, but now I look more. I'm happy with myself more. Slowly but surely, I'm getting better
i’d say gaslighting yourself is the best way to shift because who else can tell you that you can shift? only you yourself can. no one else. it’s been hard for me, but the thought that “oh i’m not going to be in this reality for this certain event because i’m gonna be in a different reality” is creeping in, and i’m loving it. i feel like the more I tell myself that i will shift, i repeat it to myself a couple times every night, i will.
and actually, it’s not gaslighting. it’s telling yourself the truth that you don’t want to believe for some reason. you CAN shift, you’re just not believing in the truth. its like if i said, “the earth is flat”, you would go, “no tf? it’s round”. that’s what you should feel about shifting. if something tells you, “you can’t shift. it’s not in your genes/you don’t try hard enough/you won’t ever get it,” your immediate response to those thoughts or words should be, “no tf? ofc i can. ur stupid.”
i love you all so much
happy shifting!!
