pretending all my trials and tribulations are just because i’m actually a magical girl and this is just all part of my epic journey to discover the power of friendship against the dark foes that linger (im autistic and a loser )

my favorite genre of media is young girls going through the horrors and evils of the world but choosing to believe and do good regardless

i just remembered a story my first plug told me. she's butch and gets mistaken for a man a lot. one time she was walking home when a guy pulled a knife on her and asked for everything in her pockets. panicking, she said "ok" and the guy hearing her voice was like "oh shit, are you a girl?" and she was like "yeah" and he put the knife away and said something like "sorry. i can't do this to a woman" and left. feminist ally.

DO NOT DO THIS!!!

If a website has a paywall, like New York Times, DO NOT use the ctrl+A shortcut then the ctrl+c shortcut as fast as you can because then you may accidentally copy the entire article before the paywall comes up. And definitely don't do ctrl+v into the next google doc or whatever you open because then you will accidentally paste the entire article into a google doc or something!!!! I repeat DO NOT do this because it is piracy which is absolutely totally wrong!!!

Hi everyone!! Percy here :)

Im sorry that I fell off the face of the earth for a while lol. I’m going through a lot of things right now and i realized that I didn’t have to or motivation to keep posting on here haha.

I’ve come to terms with the fact that my recovery should be no one’s business but mine, and while I feel it’s important to celebrate my successes, it shouldn’t be a priority for me to share every little detail about my life. Some things are fun to share with a few people, and others should be kept to myself. And that’s okay!!

Thank you guys for supporting me in this journey through my mental health. I’m still going to use this account, but for less as a vent account and more as a place for me to express my random thoughts and feelings. (Like an actual tumblr user lol)

Thank you all. <3

Hi everyone! Percy here.

Sorry I’ve been gone for so long. I feel like I needed to take a break from social media. Lately I’ve been feeling like every day is the same. I wake up, scroll through TikTok and instagram, eat while watching a YouTube video, and go to bed. It’s been this way since I graduated high school and honestly it’s stunting my growth.

All I ever do is stay in my room glued to my phone or my laptop. I mean, yeah, I’ll occasionally leave the house to ride my skateboard around the neighborhood, but the road is too rough to skate on and sometimes I’ll ride over a crack or a pothole and fall on my ass lol. So I don’t really do that anymore.

Now that I think about it, there are a lot of things that I stopped doing for fun. I used to read long chapter books and finish them within a week. I wrote stories with fantasy worlds and sketched out strong protagonists. I even wrote poetry about my feelings and my experiences with depression and anxiety. Now I don’t do any of that. It’s not that I don’t have the time or that I don’t want to do those things. I just don’t have the energy or motivation to do them.

Yesterday I was feeling under-stimulated and pent up with a lot of emotions. I wanted to write a poem about how I was feeling or even journal about it, but when I opened my notebook I couldn’t write anything. I had so much to say, I just couldn’t put it into words. I couldn’t even draw what I was feeling because it was just too complicated.

When I was younger, my creativity was an enormous part of my identity. Now that I’ve lost it, I feel like I’ve lost a part of myself too.

Hi everyone! Percy again :)

I feel like I’ve made a huge improvement as far as my self esteem is going. I’m not just cutting down on the negative self-talk, but i feel like I’ve been taking better care of myself. I’ve been more clear on setting boundaries and clearly explaining my feelings instead of letting people walk all over me, so that’s a thing. I’ve also been putting some effort into my appearance and keeping up with my hygiene more often, which doesn’t seem like much, but it’s a big step from barely having enough motivation to get out of bed. Sometimes when i have nothing better to do i put on makeup just for fun!

When I was younger, (back when I was closeted) i was very scared of femininity. I hated pink, hated makeup, and hated anything remotely girly. It’s not that I didn’t like those things, it was because i didn’t like being associated with being a girl. I hated the idea of being “ladylike” because I knew deep down that I wasn’t a lady. And when you grow up with a majority of people telling you that you’re not who you are, it can get overwhelming.

There’s also the fact that I was bullied a lot as a kid to. I remember even on times when I did try to dress up femininely, I would always be made fun of for it. My shoulders are broader than most people around my height. It also didn’t help that most of my clothes were hand me downs. They were either way too big for me, or so small that I’d be bursting through the seams. So when I would wear dresses or skirts to school, people, kids in class would bully me all the time. They would call me an ape, or a monster, or a pig.

Because of these reasons, I didn’t really care about how I dressed. I didn’t care about my self image at all. As long as I wasn’t the center of attention. I was always the person who would take tons and tons of photos and videos of people and my friends when we were out at events, but I was never the one getting my picture taken. God forbid someone took a picture of me without me, knowing and posted it. I would damn near have a heart attack lolol!

But now that I’ve been taking better care of myself, and my self-esteem, I feel like I have more pictures of myself in my camera roll than anything else. Sometimes I even make a few TikToks! It feels so good to be me again! And to celebrate my new and improved self-esteem, I’ve decided to draw a self portrait! I’m not much of an artist, but I feel like with all the hard work I’ve done, I’ve earned the right to admire myself for a bit lol. Should I post it on here when I’m finished with it?

I’ll keep you all updated! :D -Percy

Hi everyone! Percy again.

This week was pretty anticlimactic I guess. It finally snowed where I am! Well, it’s not really snow, more like tiny pieces of ice. I enjoy winter, but I can’t stay out in the cold for too long lol.

I’ve been thinking of getting more involved with religion, and by that I mean polytheism! I’ve been experimenting with a few things like spells, tarot, and crystals for a while now. I think it’s about time I’ve dipped my toe in and researched a few deities. I’ve found a few that I’m interested, but there’s still so many options!

Anyway, sorry for being gone for so long. My therapist said that it would be a good idea to write down how I was feeling more often. Kinda like a diary. but sometimes it’s hard to put how I’m feeling into words. I have trouble verbalizing my experiences, let alone writing them down.  AnyWho, I’ll try to post more often. Thank you guys for being so patient with me.

Thank you! – Percy

What Native people say about the use of sage: you can use sage, but you cannot smudge as nothing you are doing (waving sage around) is actually smudging. Smudging is a ceremony and you are, we promise, not smudging. Please buy sage from either us, or someone who sources the sage from us. White sage may not be considered endangered by the US government but corperate sourcing is making it difficult for us to source sage for our own religious purposes. Let alone to sell it.

What white people hear: never use sage ever, don’t ever buy it, don’t own it, don’t even look at it.

Look, y’all. There’s a couple of facets to my talk today.

1) Yes! You can buy sage! You really, truly can! Buy it from either native sellers (go to a powwow! Eat our food, buy our stuff, watch some dancing!) Or buy it from a seller who sources the sage from native people. Pick one. And no, buying it from 5 Below doesn’t count.

2) you CANNOT smudge. This isn’t just you “shouldn’t”— this is a YOU ARE INCAPABLE OF SMUDGING. Waving a sage stick around your doorways IS NOT SMUDGING. It is smoke clensing. Smudging, depending on the tradition and tribe, could easily have dancing and drums involved. You, as a white person, do not have the cultural BACKGROUND to even know how it works. At all. Period.

3) please, for FUCKS SAKE, stop making posts here on tumblr where you tell other white people about cultural appropriation and what they can and cannot do. Please stop, your license has been revoked because none of you bother to get the facts right. We native people are FULLY CAPABLE OF DOING IT OURSELVES. Consider instead: a) reblogging our posts where we talk about it! We’re here! We have made posts!! b) Making a post that states what we said and then LINKS BACK TO US. Screenshot with a link if you must. Stop centering your own voices in these conversations. You are already centered in everything, stop centering yourselves in a native space.

I’m tired of this nonsense, y’all.

Thanks for coming to my TedTalk ™
