I can't believe I forgot to tell y'all about this sweet interaction I had at the airport!
So for those who don't know, I'm an ambulatory cane user and my cane is covered in rainbow hearts with a rainbow charm. This is important.
While I was boarding the plane to fly home, the lady behind me leaned over and said "Happy pride!" Without thinking, I said it back before actually turning to look at her.
She was older than me, in her 50's she said, and was smiling at me so warmly. There was a kindness to her eyes. She then motioned towards my cane before saying, "Don't worry, family always finds family." and started telling me about her girlfriend.
I found myself smiling as she talked. We ended up not sitting together, and that was the last I saw of her, but the whole interaction makes me so happy. Remember that there are gay folks of all ages out there, and that family will always find family 💙 Happy pride

There's something about like. A certain genre of posts / Online Opinions about insecurity/depression/misery/complaints that are so unhelpful that they wrap right around to being straight up hilarious.
and it's the ones that are more or less written to the tone of "Feeling bad? That's gross!"
Like, just so you know, don't voice your insecurities/ have low self esteem, because that's offputting! You're gross and weird. Don't be insecure about that, though. That would be stupid if you felt insecure about people disliking you for being insecure. Not attractive. You should be thinking about being as attractive as possible.
You shouldn't make comments about suicide, even if you're suicidal! Keep those thoughts entirely to yourself. Make sure nobody around you knows you're thinking about this. It would Make Them Uncomfortable. It's better to keep these thoughts in your head where they can fester.
Don't post OR talk to friends with complaints about you feeling miserable or depressed. Tbh people who are sad/upset a lot? Kinda a red flag! You are probably miserable because you're a bad person and you've brought this on yourself. If you don't have friends, it's because you're awful to be around. Easy! Solved the problem for you. And no, there is no nuance to this, got it?
So, make sure to feel bad about feeling bad, but don't feel bad about it, because, well, that's just gross. And annoying! You might've wanted your brain rotted thoughts to be Peer Reviewed, you might have just needed to vent- you might've been hoping for some comfort, to get things off your chest. Well, don't! Don't talk about thoughts or feelings that are negative with your friends, you'd be burdening them and that's only meant for THERAPY. #SponsoredbyBetterHelp #MentalHealth
like, DAMN. that's so helpful. you're so good at helping. I um really liked the part where these are all hard and fast rules that encourage keeping feelings bottled up and keeping your friends at arm's length. That's really funny of you.

Hey about the ghost Luigi au. But. Would he fade with time? Or would he be forced to watch everyone’s lives continue without him? Would he be forced to watch his friends and brother die? Cause that’s angsty as hell my dude
oh, he’s in it for the long haul. i think after time has done its damage, he would go from being inconsolable to a long period of complete and utter shutdown. who knows, maybe he takes to scaring folks in the end. at some point, that becomes the only thing a ghost can really offer, right? when connection is that temporary it loses its meaning. the only way he can touch the real world anymore is through fear.
or you know, he could fulfill his dying wish and ascend to the afterlife. i want him to have a happy ending in one universe or another

They don't have an official surname, so here's an alternative pitch for the submas twins: Vanderbilt!
Alright, hear me out: It's in reference to the 19th-century railway magnate, Cornelius Vanderbilt, and that would make their initials IV and EV respectively.
In the Pokemon games, Individual Values (IVs) and Effort Values (EVs) are number values that impact the stats of a Pokemon. In competitive battling, those factors are pretty important, and if Gear Station's whole schtick suggests anything, it's that they happen to have quite the affinity for that sort of thing.

I've been looking for this one au where Len basically becomes a mad scientist and turns his friends into robots one by one for a while now, and I'm beginning to realize that I just read through your blog while half asleep a few months back and mixed together my memories of your flower hivemind and composite au
this is very funny to me. i'm absolutely honored this blog's posts were enough to evil-farming-game an entire vocaloid au into your memories 😂
i can give you this doodle; it's composite au but i'm sure it'd fit very well with this theoretical mad scientist len au lololl

mayhem from mutant island is like one of the characters dreamed. It draws from previous canon, but meshes details together in ways that don't make sense, exactly like our brains do when we dream. even the way the locations change.
specifically I think it was Donny's dream because
1) they start off with the wheels they had when they were 15 and all his bros are saying 'wow great job building these for us'
2) dinosaurs
3) They keep changing outfits, he gets to build so much gear in such a short time (including transformer suits that literally turn into cars)
4) stuff keeps happening to Mikey (anyone else have those stress dreams about your younger sibling drowning, getting shot off into space, kidnapped etc)
5) Leo gets eaten, and the way he pops back out actually vividly reminds me of lucid dreaming, specifically altering your own dream on purpose. I now headcanon all the turtles can do that, some natural affinity and probably trained themselves after Bad Day
6) dinosaurs are good actually, it was Stockman that made them want to eat us
7) the fact that Mikey and Leo keep getting into trouble while Raph is either rescuing or next to Don saying funny lines. His subconscious said 'silly brother, danger magnet brother, and Raphie <3'
like after the wedding and all the chaos that happened at the wedding Donny crashed hard and had a whacky dream
