genuinely mystified by the kind of person that would produce this image and not realize "oh, I'm being fucking ridiculous"

ok genuine question for alloromantic people (this includes queer alloromantic people) what is romantic love like?

I’ve kinda realized recently I have no idea how romantic love works. I’ve realized that in my mind I find romantic love meaningless because to me you could technically get a lot of the things you get out of a romantic relationship through platonic relationships.

And it feels so weird because a lot of people seem to already have this like…natural idea what romantic love is supposed to be like and so many people yearn for romantic relationships and I’m just over here who does not even know what romantic love would feel like.

so genuine question to those who have felt romantic love, what is it like?

my life has changed

I’d love to go more into the sigewinne tag for cute artwork and discussions around her, especially now because of her drip marketing, but with how much discourse I just know there is surrounding her age I frankly don’t have the energy for that

honestly I’ll be real being an artist and having depression (or mental illnesses in general) sucks.

because even if you do know you should be working on you art most of the time you just won’t have the energy to even start working on it.

other times you will actually get to working on it but then after working on it for a few minutes you suddenly lose all of your energy and need to go back to bed.

and then I see artists who pump out awesome pieces of art like machines and I just go, “well why can’t I do that? Why can’t I muster up the energy to do that? Why does it take me several days to finish even the simplest art pieces now? Am I just burnt out? Am I being lazy?”

I was out here thinking raturine was just a mean nickname people gave aventurine lol

I don’t talk about real world issues often but like…

I don’t like tiktok but I still think banning it in the us is a terrible idea. Because it gives the government the power to ban other social media sites that they claim are a “national security threat”. And with how the bill seems to be worded that seems to be exactly what their going to do if this bill does get passed in 9 months.

I’m gonna be real here:

if someone points out how certain artwork or ships of certain fictional characters is just fiction and your response is “well it’s still bad to make that fiction” I’m just straight up assume you don’t actually understand why actions such as abuse and grooming are so abhorrent.

so I had a book (?) on wattpad which was really old and that I made when I was much younger that wattpad just randomly removed about like 2-3 weeks ago without me knowing. I only found out just now because on a whim I decided to check my Wattpad account.

honestly, I’m not even that mad. It was an old book and I didn’t really care much about it anyways but like…I’m just more confused than anything. Looking through their “What We Remove” section, i don’t remember anything in the book aligning with the stuff they remove and they didn’t even give me a reason themselves as to why they took down the book.

I was already contemplating leaving wattpad for ao3 (only reason I hadn’t was just because ao3 seemed too complicated for me lol) but this is kinda pushing me even more to just leave wattpad and take my fanfics over to tumblr and ao3.

edit: ok so I’ve added myself to the…list I guess? on ao3 to make an account. It seems i won’t actually get invited for a bit so I’ll be cautiously using wattpad. But to be extra sure that if I incur that wrath of the wattpad gods again I don’t lose the actual book I care about I’m going to writing the draft of the chapters in Google docs so I don’t lose my progress if that book gets taken down lol.

personal headcannon of mine: most of the herrschers (but specifically senti and hov in this case) have pointy teeth and cat-like pupils

For context there’s a countdown for a new madoka magica game called “madoka magica exedra”

fiction can affect reality but I feel like people have kinda fear mongered how much fiction affects reality.

yes, fiction can affect reality but it’s not a one to one ratio. Holding it over people’s heads constantly that fiction affects reality so you can’t make certain fiction makes it seem like people’s differentiations of fiction and reality are so thin that they can not conceive that a certain action would be perfectly fine to do in fiction but abhorrent to do irl.

fiction can affect reality but it does not equate to reality.

[kiwisandpearls]

this is a genuine question…

are people just like…not taught that everything they say and post on the internet is going to on their digital footprint and can be traced back to them? Or do people just not care anymore?

ok so I was playing the oregon trail game and as a joke I named the other members of my party Miku, Len, Ren, and Gumi and do you wanna guess who died for?

I’ll tell you IT WAS FRICKIN LEN
