#I hope you have a good day

[jesteringbug]

Wow! Your Ignihyde redesigns are so fucking ugly! So hideous and uninspired, and their ugliness is only amplified by your very poor drawing skills and even uglier art style! And it's laughable how you really believe that you did better than the official designs, never do that again, you can't design or draw for shit.

too late i'm already planning a heartslabyul redesign lmao

[and-corn]

Your new day page for new years really resonated with me. It's good to see that someone understands that sometimes things are a struggle. Your art is a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day, and it makes people feel seen and understood. Thank you for all the beauty you put into the world.

I will be weeping for the next 2 to 4 business days, thank you

A pox on capitalism for poisoning us to the point that any depth of exploration in art (or science, or the intersection thereof) is seen as "having too much time on your hands" or an affectation of depth to be used by the elite as a game. A pox on capitalism for making us so focused on survival that we can't enjoy what our souls want to explore.

We should take care of each other and strive for a society that lets us all get really deep into niches and help everyone become better for it.

The Grim Reaper is human.

His face is carved of marrow, and his drape is of dread, devoid of light. He bares a scythe in his hand, lean and sharp next to his figure. One would stare into the eyes of death with fear,

but he stares back with empathy.

Tiny hands, ones of children, would pull at his drape, tearing it, pulling it apart one seam at a time, but he did not mind. The cape was worn anyway, the remnants of one's before them, and before them, and before them..

Old, trembling souls would sit by his side, telling the stories of when they were young, of when bread would cost just 12 cents, when they would run with their friends to the candy shop down the street and buy gum with a dime and joke and laugh, and he would listen. With thousands of years of stories, he's probably heard enough to fill up a library.

Worn-out bodies would falter at his feet, scars, marks, and blemishes covering each one, as if to tell a story without words, and he would cry with them. He would hold them, cradle their heads in his palms as they sobbed. And they would fall asleep in his arms, but he would not mind. He would carry them to his home and lay them on his bed, for he knew all they ever needed was peace.

And he would dance and laugh and cry and sing. He would hold animals as they curiously imspected him. He would read books and tell tales of people who lived long ago to those who would care to listen.

He would long to spend just a little bit more time with the humans, would beg to know them just a bit more. But he knew that it was his job, to send them away, to lay them at rest, to finish their story.

So he used what time he had well. He let people cry at him, let people tell their stories, let people pull and tease at him. He watched as generations lived and died and loved and cried, and he shared empathy, for he had felt all that and more.

And his eyes may seem endless, and his coat may seem ruined and ravaged, and his scythe may glint with intimidation, but find yourself in his presence for just a bit, and you'll learn that,

The Grim Reaper is human.

hi can you please not put brittana hate in the brittana tag thank you.

Wow. Ok. A lot to unpack here. But I guess someone uses the tag search on tumblr still which is a wild thing to learn in 2024. I would not recommend doing that ever.

I will happily untag the post. That's just a force of habit for the people who follow me and don't like seeing Glee-related things.

I will disagree on the use of the word hate here. I said they were not perfect, but that people should be able to enjoy what they enjoy. And then I replied to someone who just talked about ACTUAL plot points in the show. So no. It wasn't hate to say they are not perfect. No couple on that show is perfect. And that's fine.

*ghost sound*

I have to admit this made me emotional, I cried a little. Just seeing such a cute account do what they want on the internet… :>

[oatbugs]

so sorry to hear abt how things ended with this girl, knowing that ending it was for the best doesn't make it any easier emotionally :(

situationship breakups are genuinely so devastating in ways that normal breakups aren't, when a long-term situationship I was in ended I was so distraught that I literally couldn't eat for a week, cried so hard I threw up a couple times, and was a wreck for ~3 months... I remember feeling like I would never be able to move past it and like the pain would never end but in reality after 6 months of separation w the person I was happier than I had been in like two years 😭 the pain seems eternal while you're in it but now the version of me that experienced that pain is so far in the rearview mirror that I can't even remember what it felt like anymore... the world will open its arms to you over and over and over and offer you so many new chances for love and one day the heartache will fade into the distance ily

a friend just messaged me saying the exact same thing :') yeah, it is genuinely soul-crushing / devestating. i haven't experienced smth like this in yearsss there just is like...waves of horrible intense heartache + the not eating is so real i feel too full all the time somehow ??? it feels actually never-ending and like...i've been posting a lot abt it here but i feel guilty abt that and i also don't want to keep talking abt it to my friends abt it and idk what to do . who do i tell ! how do i just !! live ! how am i supposed to buy groceries and go on walks like i don't remember how it felt to tangle my hands in her hair !!!

i'm really glad you got over it eventually anon, my past breakups have taught me the same; i hope i find that peace soon, and i hope i forget what the pain felt like and i hope i never forget the love behind the grief (trying to appreciate the empty space she left) i hope the world opens its arms to me again !! i hope it's soon !!!! i hope tomorrow will be better ! i hope it's not as eternal as it feels !

[alterousuggestion]

Hey, we've never spoken before but I saw your post and it reflected a lot of feelings I've had over the course of the past two years. It's been a really hard time and at times it definitely felt like there was nothing I could do and I was not making any progress. I also didn't want to do therapy for my own reasons. I started reading a lot: Brene Brown was a godsend, as well as books about nonviolent communication. Both of them helped me learn how to be compassionate with myself and how to be more patient, because like you my internal voice was extremely cruel. I had a lot of trauma and baggage that came from being on the ace/aro spectrum and not realizing how difficult that had actually been for me. It got worse before it got better, and once I actually started becoming more aware of these things I hit a crisis point where it became necessary to get on anxiety medication, but in doing all that I have been able to get to a place where I feel more like myself for the first time since middle school. I know that it feels really overwhelming and exhausting and impossible and like you're alone and helpless in this, but do your best to take care of yourself, reach out to those people in your life who can help take care of you, and try to get comfortable with the idea that you are a person, and just like any other person, you deserve respect, comfort, and safety.

hey there ! <3 tysm for reaching out and sharing some of your experiences with this. it means so much to me, esp coming from another aroace-spec person. i think there’s a layer to this that is inextricably tied to my own aroace-ness. i have spent so long reaching outward to people hoping they’d love me in a way that makes sense to me. i think i need to reorient that so i’m providing that to myself first and foremost, you know? i was happier when i did that for myself. i have so much to my friendships that i didn’t realize that the dangers of losing yourself in them is just as real as it is in romantic relationships…

those books sound amazing and i’ll definitely seek them out—i’ve actually been looking into some of these types of books in general since overall, this how my brain best intakes information. so ty for the recs!!

i’m so happy that you are able to get to a better place. and having you validate me and my feelings.. it really means a lot. like, a ‘ha ha i might be tearing up’ lot. ‘try to get comfortable with the idea that you are a person’ felt like a hug. :’)

[james-p-sullivan]

You really seem to be doing so much better these days (mind u, obviously we don’t see a whole life on tumblr) but it’s a pleasure to see you back on my dash and that things are going for the better for you.

Also don’t stop writing, if it brings you joy then fuck the rest xx

what a sweet ask, thank you for sending this!

honestly, ive been doing really well, all things considered. i owe so much of my new outlook on life to the hysterectomy i had a couple months ago. its talked about, how much pain can affect you, but i dont think i truly realized how badly it fucked me up until suddenly i had all of that pain taken away. im genuinely still in shock every single day over how much easier my life has become now that im not a slave to my body

ive been trapped inside a cloud of depression since i was 11 years old and to be finally free of that is absolutely mind blowing. the problem is, i feel like a baby being born into the body of a 27 year old lmao i missed out on so much in my early 20's due to life circumstances, but for the first time in my life, im really excited for the future and im excited to be alive

sorry this got a bit introspective, but yeah! im doing great! and i totally just wrote 2.5k more words on the next chapter of my fic and you are absolutely right, fuck the rest! haha!

[pyrofilth]

It's hard sometimes balancing between, "I need to be off social media for a bit for my mental health" and "I need to be informed of what's going on and continue to help others be aware of what's going on." This is not me going, "Oh seeing all the stuff about Palestine, Sudan, and Congo is making me depressed and I don't want to see that."

I just had a schizophrenic episode and am still in a depressive episode. I'm having thoughts I haven't had in months. Life has been quite stressful and chaotic for me recently.

Limiting the amount of time I spend on social media is what I think a good happy medium is for me. I try to stay up to date with what's happening, but also make sure I'm not spending obscene amounts of time just doom scrolling making my own mental health worse.

Shockingly though, I've written more in the past few weeks than I have in a long time. I'm really not helping the image of "tortured artist" apparently. I've had so many ideas and I've actually taken the time to write them down. I did post a story that I wrote and while I don't know if anyone has seen it, no one I've shared it with has had many comments on it and no one on tumblr has seemingly interacted with it. And that does kind of suck. I want people to see my work and say something about it. But I also have to remember, I'm not writing for other people. I'm writing for myself. Circling back to my mental health, that's a really hard thing to do. Do something for myself rather than for others. Put myself first and do things to take care of myself. Shit is hard, man.

All of this to say, mental health is complex and while I'm thankful for the internet so I can stay informed and educated, while helping others become informed, it's also probably had some pretty negative effects on how I view anything I create and my own self worth and image. Look at your friends' creations, encourage them, and help nurture their passions. Stay informed, help fight for a better tomorrow. And take care of yourself, even if it's hard, do the best you can. Cheers
