i know it's hard. but i so firmly believe the strongest antidote to loneliness is reaching out first. and continuing to reach out. again and again and again. excise any scrap of shame you hold about being the person who texts first or pitches the plan or asks to get lunch. everyone is tired and busy and struggling. and afraid of feeling unwanted and unimportant. don't let the people you love feel that way. reach out first. don't be a ghost in your own life.

I hope my weird speech and awkward walk and nervous mannerisms are attractive to you

people love to criticise the actions of someone under an extreme amount of stress as irrationally, irredeemably monstrous, and then you'll actually look at what they're talking about and see that not only is their behaviour entirely understandable given the circumstances, but they're actually demonstrating incredible restraint and will to endure beyond what you thought anyone was capable of

yippee tag game! thanks eulalie @gnomebud for tagging me ^^

currently watching: not much of a guy who Watches Things but I did watch the first episode of the murderbot show with a friend (u know who u are) and it was fun :)

currently reading: I'm in between books rn BUT I am looking forward to starting So You Want To Be A Robot by A. Merc Rustad. I hadn't heard of this book until I found it at a local queer zine/book swap (extremely cool event), and as soon as I read that it was about queerness and robots, I had to get it. that's my favourite combination of things <3

last song: technically the last song off of SMILE! :D by Porter Robinson, since I gave the album a listen earlier today. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would, sadly. but before that I listened to T-Shirt by Left at London :) which is a song I listened to a lot like 3 years ago, and I like it even more now that I've come back to it!

currently craving: a popsicle........ I am now going to go eat a frozen strawberry from the freezer

coffee or tea: I don't drink much of either but I will enjoy a tea when it's offered to me! I feel like I could become a tea enjoyer if I actually figured out which types of tea I like. but I also always burn myself on hot beverages so it'd be a dangerous endeavour

earbuds or headphones: headphones forever !!!!! most of the time earbuds won't stay in my ears, and when they do stay in, I personally do not like the feeling of them

last place you went other than home: a concert a friend was playing violin and percussion in !! it was a concert of peruvian music for peruvian independence day and it was fun! I even danced if you can believe it

favorite chips flavor: salt and vinegar chips as well !! and so when you bring salt and vinegar chips to some gathering and no one else likes them, you get more for yourself (this is my secret hack)

color that looks good on you: I will admit. I am scared of wearing colours other than neutrals so I don't know! (<- guy who bought a sweater with a pattern on it as a "risky purchase") I am being brave and branching out though... so I guess I'll find out :0

currently working on: playtesting my robot ttrpg and drawing a comic to sell at a market at the end of the summer !!! all very exciting stuff :D but I've been struggling to set time aside to work on these things alongside work and other obligations... I'll make it happen though

and I'll tag @alienpupy, @minisnail, @bibblefutzer, @sawblade-neopet, @podunks, @mrs-faggot, and any other mutuals who want to do it :)

Small penises aren’t bad, balding isn’t bad, being short isn’t bad, being fat isn’t bad. Physical traits are not signs of morality, and the sooner people stop mocking people for their bodies (yes, even when they’re bad) the better.

[ID: a photo of a very rounded, cute ram's head made of glass. It's cream-coloured, with brown striped horns, big teal eyes and a simple smile. The first image shows this photo next to two digital illustrations of an anthropomorphic ram with that same head, dressed in a cloak, scarves and a tunic in a similar colour palette to the head. The character is shown standing and smiling, and in another pose, holding a lute. The second image is just the photo of the original head.

The third image is a screenshot of user faebriel's tags, which read: "I love this so much...... someone many years ago made this adorable figurine!! and now many centuries later!! there is more art of it!!!!! imagine how that person would feel (cat face emoticon) ..... also this design is so cute. #art". End ID.]

It's not your job to manage other people's feelings. You do not have to anticipate other people's responses to you or their general mood in order to establish any sort of feeling of safety for yourself.
