Actually, people are good by nature and you’re a fool if you think otherwise.

[cooltmoney95]

Love bombing is not a euphemism for "too much affection too soon," or "high desire for contact."

"Love bombing" is a term originally used in the context of cults to describe a deliberate and coordinated recruitment method that involved feigning friendship and interest in a potential recruit, via flattery, flirtation, physical affection, and very directed positive attention to everything the recruit says in order to lure them into the cult.

Since cults and abusive relationships operate in similar ways and use similar tactics, love bombing in an interpersonal relationship looks like manufacturing closeness in order to trap someone into a relationship in which the abuser has all the control.

And I know these days there's a million bullshit junky articles out there that make you think this is a symptom of cluster b personality disorders, but there is no way for you to be love bombing somebody without realizing it.

If you are an affectionate person and the level of affection and attention you give makes someone uncomfortable, you are not "accidentally" abusing them.

If you are uncomfortable with the level of affection and attention someone is paying you, they are not de facto abusing you.

Love bombing is about using someone's desire for human connection to fast track them into a situation you control that they will feel disinclined to leave.

so when straight people ask me why I say I’m “queer” or “gay” instead of sharing my actual identity as a panromantic demisexual non-binary sapphic queer I just tell them “ok look, when you’re talking to someone who isn’t local and they ask you where you’re from and you either say the name of the largest city nearby or ‘town name, suburb of large nearby city’ so they can get some geographical context of where you’re located right, bc they’re probably not going to know the name of the little town you actually live in.”

but if you’re talking to a local you can say the name of your actual town bc they have a greater chance of knowing where/what that is.

ok well when I’m talking to a straight person I start with queer bc chances are they aren’t as familiar with the context of all the little towns in that big queer city and need gps (gay positioning system) to find me.

if I’m talking to another queer person and I say I live in a suburb of gay city in a town called panromantic on the demisexual side of the tracks which is in the county of queer and I live off the intersection of non-binary and sapphic, they’d probably be able to find me with little to no problems, make sense?

Call me a sinner, call me a saint

Tell me it’s over, I’ll still love you the same

Call me your favorite

Call me the worst

Tell me it’s over, I don’t want you to hurt

(Call Me by Shinedown)

“I said; GET BACK!!”

“Aron! Do you have any idea what you’re doing!? He’s a stupid kid! The brat enemy!”

“That ‘brat enemy’ is my little brother!”

“So you’re actually betraying us just for your dumb brother? Who’s a Kids Next Dork!? You really are soft!”

“Your point!? You really think I enjoyed being apart of this teen crud for so long? Having to fight my brother and his friends, having to hide my true self, and put up with your cruddy teen shit? This fucking hell you put me in..

After turning 13 and forcing myself to join the teen ninjas, I cannot express how toxic my mind became! I felt like couldn’t go to anyone. So many nights crying myself to sleep along with hating myself, feeling depressed and scared for so long.! It was all because of the teen ninjas and being forced to work with Father...

Whenever Nigel was first born, I made a promise to myself I’d protect him at all cost and I meant it! Call me names, beat me or tear me down all you want, but nothing will make me regret this. I’m not leaving him. It’s my fault Nigel’s beat up like this, and by the burning of the fucking sun, I’ll find a way to make it up to him, so numbuh 0 crudding help me!...

I’m done with all this fucking bullshit. I’m not gonna hiding the truth anymore..”

*If CANON-Nigel met Aron*

Nigel: Alright, TEENAGER, so apparently you’re my older brother in an alternate universe.

Aron: Correct. You-

Nigel: No words, teen! I don’t take orders from you! Even if you’re my brother!

Nigel, with his 2x4 gun out: So tell me, what am I to you in your universe? Let me guess, I’m nothing but your noogie-bag as well as your “annoying-brat” brother

Aron:

Aron: You are my emotional support, my pride and happiness and practically the main reason why I even still get out of bed in the mornings

Nigel:

Never-before-published model sheets for canned Amblin Cats movie 🐈‍⬛✏️👁️

Hi all. As promised, I am sharing a comprehensive .PDF of model sheets that were created for the Amblimation Cats movie that never saw the light of day. Most of these model sheets have not been published or posted anywhere on the internet as far as I'm aware. I'm going to get ahead of some questions for the good of the order:

Are these real? I certainly didn't sit and create all 117 pages myself for the sake of an elaborate hoax!

How did you get these? I work in the animation industry. A senior coworker caught wind of my cats obsession and said he had the Xeroxes and asked if I wanted him to bring them in. Internally, I flipped my shit. And then I digitized his hard copies.

How did your coworker get these? They were found in the library of the university he used to go to. (Not super unusual at an arts school in southern California.) He made photo copies back then and has been holding onto them. The thing is he knows nothing about CATS; isn't a CATS fan, never seen it, etc. I guess he just felt it was something worth holding on to!

Can you upload better quality? Unfortunately what you're seeing as good as the quality gets. These are scans of photocopies from the 90s. There is nothing to be done for the crunchiness.

What about (missing characters)? I'm showing you everything I was personally given!

Which character is (nondescript drawing of a cat)? If the image isn't labeled, your guess is as good as mine! I put all the misc./unlabeled cats in the back of the PDF. The only exceptions are ones that I felt were abundantly obviously supposed to be a specific character.

Who are the artists? Unfortunately, there's no way I can tell for sure. None of the sheets are signed. I wouldn't even go about guessing because many concept artists can perfectly emulate more "well known" illustrators whose styles were sought after. My coworker said he might be able to figure out who the draftsmen were; until then it's a mystery! If I find out, I will come back to this post and update it with that information.

Are these all the model sheets ever? No! In fact, there are model sheets that have been posted online that are not in the bundle I was given. I have no idea of the sum total of model sheets in existence.

Where's the link?! Here it is! Have fun kitties!

🩸- Moonstone

[ 🩸 ]ㅤ.ㅤis there something or someone that, if lost, would break them ?

Several actually. But the top contenders are Oswald, Kiara, Voltannia, and pretty much anyone in his family that isn't his father (More on that later.). They're all pretty much the anchors that keep Moonstone grounded. And if anything were to happen to either of them....well, let's just say that titans would be the least of Mewni's problems.

[cooltmoney95]

🪞- Moonstone

[ 🪞 ]ㅤ.ㅤwhen have they looked at their reflection and hated what they saw ?

Ever since he left Kiara in Pixitopia. Every time he think's about that day, he either ends up bursting into tears or insult himself while staring at his own reflection.

It's one of the few things Moonstone regretted during his time as a thief. Mainly because Kiara was one of the only people he ever considered a friend prior to joining the Second Division. And he still struggles with this guilt even in the Future AU.

support HUMAN artists, not AI‼️

AI generated images are NOT art. art is CREATED, not GENERATED.

this is not just about taking jobs from artists (which is already a huge deal), it’s also about devaluing art itself, turning it into mass-produced, empty and soulless content. it’s heartbreaking to see AI stealing from real artists: from Studio Ghibli to smaller creators like us.

personally, we started our art journey by reinterpreting what we love: music, TV series, anime and transforming it into our vision inspired by the 90’s anime that we grew up with. when we create our illustrations, we try to capture the emotion and love we feel for the subject, aiming to tell a story with each drawing. ever since AI was created, we have had many people asking if our art is AI generated. honestly, it’s heartbreaking every single time. for us, art is a deeply human experience that we’ve been dedicating ourselves to for seven years. creating from nothing takes dedication, skill, and an emotional investment that, in our opinion, AI simply can’t capture.

you’ve probably seen your feed flooded with AI generated images in a “Studio Ghibli style”. trends like these reinforce the idea that art can be easily replicated and devalued. the future of artists is more uncertain than ever. we don’t know if in a few years we’ll still be able to make a living from this, since many companies are adopting the mindset of “why should i pay someone for their well-earned work when a machine can do it for free in an instant?” that mindset is the real problem: the way society is starting to perceive art.

art is essential to human life. many people realized this during the pandemic: what would we do without music, movies, books, that bring us comfort? art is more than just the final product. it’s about the process, struggles, and personal growth that comes with it. when you create, you grow, learn, and challenge yourself. AI erases that, replacing it with instant and shallow replication. real art brings people together, evoking emotions and reminding us of what it means to be human.

relying on AI to make art isn’t innovation, it’s avoiding the challenge of creating something meaningful. AI tools like these are being pushed as "the future," but what does that say about us? replacing human artistry with shallow, mass-produced content takes away humanity from art, do we really want to be part of a world where art is just another disposable product? what value do we place on creativity?

if you’ve made it this far, it means you care about these issues. let’s raise our voices together and speak up. don’t consume AI generated images. value and respect creativity. SUPPORT REAL HUMAN ARTISTS.
