sometimes you will spend 30 minutes thinking about a character and you will expect to have something coherent to say by the end of that time but the best you can come up with is "they are sooooooo shaped they are so silly i love my blorbo"

Say what you mean as kindly and clearly as possible.

You might have the urge to hint at what you want instead of saying it outright.

You might want to withdraw and hope someone notices. Or perhaps to act cold or upset and hope they’ll ask what’s wrong. This is testing if they care by making them guess, and it isn't really fair. To you or to them.

You deserve to ask for what you need.

Not through guilt, not through silence, not through passive aggression.

Those behaviors aren’t necessarily “bad” but they’re often survival responses we picked up along the way.

They don’t build the kind of connection we actually want. And they can damage our relationships.

Being direct can feel terrifying.

It can feel like rejection is guaranteed the moment we ask.

But healthy communication means giving people a real chance to show up for us and giving ourselves a chance to be heard.

You don’t have to be perfect at it.

Here are some examples:

“I feel off today and could use some support.”

“I’m feeling lonely. Can I call you?”

“I’m feeling insecure. Can you give me some reassurance?

You are allowed to speak clearly.

You are allowed to ask.

You are allowed to be understood.

You deserve to have your needs met. And your loved ones deserve to not have to guess at it.

Heheheh my next cookie design!!!

I've been drawing a lot of the cute ones bc lets be real most of the cookie designs are cute, but I wanted to draw some more of the common character pulls!

I know Muscle Cookie is supposed to be a wrestler, but I view his mask as more of an executioners cowl, so I leaned in that direction with his design. Keeping that theme in mind, I decided to draw his pretzel cane as an ax!

Oh also, he's trans :]

Mini bio: Spider (Hämähäkki)

Spider is an elderly finnish woman with supernatural powers. She can turn into a regular spider, as well as an arachnid monster. She can detect paranormal things and will often get omens about other people's deaths or other unfortunate things. She is a seamstress by profession and extremely talented at it. She used to be a human prostitute, and was formerly known as Ulla. She has several adult children, one of them being Umara. She is bitter and intimidating, extremely clever and even conniving. Despite her spiky exterior she cares for those closest to her. She tends to be negative towards humans, but feels compelled to give them guidance every now and then

(I nickname her Hämis sometimes)

The seamstress was a lady of great beauty and skill.

But unfortunately it wasn't her skills that paid the bills.

Any spider good at weaving webs would hope that's the part that attracts flies. But when you come in a certain shape, the web is only good for covering lies.

Ribs, waist, hips, legs - her body soon infested with eggs. And she felt, over a time: "This body is no longer mine."

But within her plight, from the dark of the night; a generous stranger came to her lane - and alas, set her poor little heart aflame.

Unlike any man or person she'd met thus far, for you see - it was no man at all.

Noticing her strain, the kind stranger made an offer of change. And the crafty seamstress would settle for nothing plain - being already dehumanized, an insectoid wouldn't feel strange.

To her predators, the seamstress would only be a beauty when they first met; so any man pushing over the line would end up quite dead.

And thus many of them would find themselves infested with flies instead.

Eventually she did run away with her mysterious stranger, leaving humanity behind.

And you'd find that the world of monsters can be surprisingly kind.

She however, was not. Not anymore.

"I'm sorry you had to save me"
