"Create Your Own Happiness" is a phrase that encourages personal empowerment and taking control of one's own emotional well-being. It suggests that happiness is not something we should wait for or depend on others to provide, but rather something we actively cultivate for ourselves. Life is full of ups and downs, and while external circumstances can influence our mood, this saying reminds us that our mindset, choices, and actions play a crucial role in shaping how we feel. By focusing on what brings us joy—whether it’s pursuing hobbies, spending time with loved ones, or practicing mindfulness—we can create a sense of fulfillment from within. It’s about embracing positivity, taking responsibility for our happiness, and not letting outside factors dictate our emotional state. Ultimately, it's a call to recognize that, while we can't control everything around us, we can control how we respond and where we find our joy.

Couldn't find a coat I liked, so I'm making myself a cloak.

I have days where I'd rather not deal with anybody and days where I just need a shoulder and some help... both days I feel I have no one.

I'm learning how to stay focused on myself and keep my own cup full.

At rest, your lungs wish to deflate, and your ribcage expands outwards.

You know anon who replied to my post about Buck. I'm a proud biracial person so you certainly won't see me, a BT shipper, be against an interracial couple. I see racism, even when it's subtle, I see when people are vague posting about race being a problem. And I've never seen a BuckTommy fan make a racist post about Eddie being Latino, not even make an allusion to it. Never. I'm not saying there's not a single BT racist fan, you'll find trash anywhere, but here on Tumblr, I have yet to see it.

Eddie is not a problem for BuckTommy shippers, he's not a menace to the ship, he's not in the way of anything. And him being Latino has been used by BoBs themselves since the beginning as an excuse to hate on Tommy, the ship, and us. We don't fucking care about Eddie being Latino, it's a non thing for BT shippers. We're not white supremacists with an agenda. Meanwhile, the moment we dared to like Buck being with Tommy, we were under Buddies/BoBs constant harassment. Because they didn't get their ship canon. And the hate and violence has been insane. The homophobia/queerphobia. The misogyny. The ageism. The racism against actual people in the fandom. And it created tensions we never asked for.

We never asked for anything except maybe to see a queer arc for Buck. We never ask for Buddie to not be canon. We never asked for Tommy to come back. We only hoped they'd give the fans queer Buck. Then we just went with what the show gave us, some liked it, some not. No one except the show runners and the writers knew what would happen and had the power to make it happen. None of us, whatever we ship, will change what people are PAID to do on a TV show.

All the rest? It's your interpretation, just like we all have. It's valid but not canon. Tommy acting like Taylor and being dismissive of Buck's feelings? Your interpretation but it's not canon. I'm currently rewatching the show for the first time and I see so many moments when Eddie is not a good friend to Buck. Not a bad friend, just not a good one. And I don't need theories about him being a supposedly closeted gay to just accept that those characters are written to be realistic, so they're not perfect. Eddie using his friendship with Buck to hit exactly where it hurts and tell him he's exhausting? Oh it was bad, but Eddie was pissed. So you know, it was a realistic and emotional response. It doesn't mean I started a hate campaign against him and his fan. First because it's a fucking TV show, but most of all, it's not important. It's part of the story and that's it. Sit back and enjoy, then join the fandom to make your ship thrive in fanon. No need to hate anything or anyone.

(oh and yes, BuckTommy has many names! Not always practical but it's not like it affects your life, isn't it?)

I’m happy for the little life I built for myself

[watcherintheweyr]

desperately need people to understand that alicent is a victim but she’s also an abuser and a perpetrator

that she actively makes choices to harm other women because of jealousy and envy and the greed deep in her bones because submitting to suffering didn’t get her what those women fight to grasp for themselves.

she is absolutely a victim, in show.

that doesn’t change that she abused rhaenyra and her children, her own son, most likely helaena given how she flinches every time her mother touches her, and is actively weaponizing the patriarchy of westeros against other women- rhaenyra primarily, but also mysaria and dyana.

she isn’t the moral, righteous force of good that even she thinks she is, she’s a wounded woman directing all of the rot, pain, and fury inside her at the wrong people and forces.

i think the most important thing i've realised about running a fandom blog is that whatever you make should literally all be for yourself. nobody is going to consume this same media and process it the way you do, or be inspired by it the same way you will, or, therefore, create the same things for it like you will. so the chances are high that the only way you're gonna see the stuff you wanna see out there in your fandom space - is to make it yourself. you're manifesting your vision for yourself, and by that, other people can either enjoy it or not, but it's really secondary to the point of it all

Happy birthday 💙🌊🐬

To my most beloved anime protagonist. It's been an absolute pleasure watching his story throughout the years. He means a lot to me, and I've found myself relating to him a bunch. Seeing him grow, open up, and chase his dreams has made brought me endless joy, and I will forever cherish him and free! As a whole.
