Well, now I have to make an OC with a vulture as a familiar, symbol, aspect, aesthetic... just something.

×kicks rocks× Maaaan...

Vultures are holy creatures.

Tending the dead.

Bowing low.

Bared head.

Whispers to cold flesh,

“Your old name is not your king.

I rename you ‘Everything.’”

There was a moment today when I realized I'd be the character in a cast that is ALWAYS seen eating.

Every shot is a sandwich, jerky, or some snack half consumed with crumbs everywhere.

And you know something is going down when food is refused or goes unfinished.

Power fantasies are great...

But have you tried fucking up royally, trying to fix it, and fucking up even worse?

Taking L's when you were absolutely certain sure you would beast xyz will be the first time your character breathes. I promise you haven't met them before that moment.

rolling badly is something that can be so good for developing your character, actually

just a reminder:

a black girl character growing her hair out long breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having short hair

a black girl character getting to be soft and fragile breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being strong all the time

a black girl character being protected and comforted by others breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character having no one to look out for her but herself

a black girl character being considered pretty or cute by other characters breaks more stereotypes than a black girl character being considered unattractive

not everything that is empowering for white girls is empowering for black girls

the sexism we face overlaps, but it is not the same

Comic about something that happened in 2019

I have tried everything to not write. But the words won't stop...

Sometimes a creative outlet is a fun little hobby and sometimes it's a lifelong affliction. Like I crochet because making little woven animals sparks joy and I'm a writer whether I like it or not because I'm tormented by visions

Apparently, I had already hearted this and didn't remember. So now I must reblog until the end of time.

I couldn't think of anywhere else to put this, so I decided to share here.

I miss dodgeball. I miss monkey bars. I miss low stakes competitive sports. I miss the wonder and curiosity of the spooky and mysterious. I miss being a kid.

Some days, I forget how old I am because my 30s aren't what I expected them to be. I watched grown-ups who had become so hardened that I desperately feared the day I crested that third peak of life.

'I don't want to get old."

"Then you have to die young," my aunt said.

So, now when my knees crack and my back aches, I do my stretches, turn my Bluetooth boombox replica, and say, "I can't get old because I'm gonna die young."

“how did you get into writing” girl nobody gets into writing. writing shows up one day at your door and gets into you

Some of these sort of piggyback but these are variations of my true life experiences. I think it's powerful to 'come of age' at 30. You have so much to look back on and it's just as scary (if not scarier) to break out when you've now seen the world's ugly. You are no longer ignorant to the dangers and now you're opting into it purposefully. But it's that or the twisting frustration inside that you never tried.

Shaking free of those social norms you realize you never identified with and learning to express your true identity/aesthetic.

Taking a leap of faith to travel or pursue X that you previously were convinced/pressured was a bad idea because of 'society'.

Revisiting a childhood dream with new skills and experiences and bringing it to fruition in a way little you could have never imagined.

Breaking free of a toxic cycle (either addictions or a bad relationship with family) and embracing a new free life.

Discovering you are aro-ace after years of being told you 'just haven't found the one yet'.

That post about 30 year old coming of age stories?

I’ve been thinking about it all morning. What would the plot points be for that? What makes a 30 year old coming of age story?

Old folks sound off in the comments

Maybe a weird add onto this but...

Look up aegosexual. It's on the asexual spectrum. Long story short:

Aegosexuals don't imagine being participants in sexual encounters but our imagined characters? Being a fly on the wall? Now that's good stuff.

So if an oc seems to have similar attributes to the creator, but with fantastic differences, it's a safe distance.

Not at all claiming everyone who does this is aegosexual. But I damn sure know I am and is exactly why I would do this.

i still hate y’all bitches who say oc x canon shit is cringe like bitch you have ANY idea how flattered i would be if someone made an oc for my fantasy world? how utterly PSYCHED my ass would be they loved a character so much they fleshed out one themselves just 2 be with one of mine? fuck y’all haters
