do you ever think about how all you used to draw when you were 10 was ponies and that you should still know how to do that, then get an idea and proceed to draw something like these in nearly one sitting and it turns out better than any drawing you've done in the entire past month

sooo anyway does anyone have cutie mark or pony name ideas for them?? lol

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

actually I think the thing about being a youth leader is that 25% of it is teaching about God, 25% is playing fun games, and more than that though 50% of it is making a safe space for kids to be. not to try and make them believe, not so they'll be open or anything. just. a 100% no stakes, safe place for them to just BE. whatever else comes after that. and I don't just mean physically safe, two-adults-in-the-room-at-all-times, et cetera. I mean emotionally safe. I mean not hitting them over the head with scripture, not trying to help them feel better or any particular way. just... a no-judgment, emotionally safe place to exist as kids.

once in a while when i'm in the murderbot fandom tag i see a shark fin of ship discourse and i'm like wrow... i guess there's shipping out there. so anyways.

The apartment hunt begins

[insecateur]

there's an outside exercising area where we're living rn with like bikes and bars and such that are free to use and this is the second time that i've been there past 8pm, sat down at one of the machines to have a go at it for a bit before i resume my walk, and had another guy show up to start doing tractions on the bar right next to me. my assumption is that people see others using the machines and are like "cool i won't embarrass myself now" but every time it makes me feel bad when i want to leave bc i'm abandoning my comrades

Quick reminder:

P-shifters *arent* looking for power, or whatever

We literally just go creature and know we are creatur

some of us practice going creatur, some of us go creatur involuntarily

In past some were bad, but not all of us

now that it's universally disliked are so less likely to find those who want to fake being a p-shifter :b

aint nobody continuing to identify if all of us just wanted "power" (as in why the hell are there still p-shifters if it's seen as bad?)

most of us could completely do *without* the internet to get this so said "power" (I've spent years struggling with my relationship with my device and being my animal self, many can relate with me. It's been a very long time since I've interacted with a power hungry proclaimed p-shifter)

please stop spreading the idea to witch hunt and attack all p-shifters on sight

it also harms others that identify in a similar manner (clinicals, physical nonhumans, etc.) and literally helps no one

Just teach how to identify if people are looking for power and manipulation instead of targeting us

Thank youuu

And regardless

this isnt a post to try and "convince" you to believe or interact with p-shifters

tbh, wouldn't want to talk with you anyways if you weren't willing to listen to me :|

sooo.... DNI if you are going to be an asshole and have an issue with me being a p-shifter? I mean like I'm not here to bother you, but if you are going to bother me, imma just block you

ight bye

Power Rangers Characters I love mostly because I get tired of how the (shipping) fandom has vilified them to justify more popular ships.

Who also deserved SO MUCH better and had so much more potential than the shitty (and in Kat's case, almost misogynistic) writing they were given.

That, and I just think they're neat. (And both of them were really fun as brainwashed evil characters, and I'd love to see more fics about them dealing with the psychological trauma that them trying to recover from that probably had on them).

(Also---they're both super pansexual, and you can't change my mind.)

[itscooltoskate]

@question-marked asked: “are you making fresh pasta?”

barton managed to barely hear eddie over the sound of two of his kids arguing in the background — who seemed to be jack and matilda, respectively, as he would soon call out to them using their names in his native tongue. but the fact remained that he had heard him and so after he essentially told them to ' get along ' in french, barton turned to face the other. he was currently kneading what looked to be some kind of dough with his hands, ❝ sorry, they've been unusually argumentative today with each other. you're going to have to excuse them. but yeah... lucky for you, you caught me right in the middle of making dinner. ❞

barton seemed to have some experience as he hadn't gotten any of the dough on his hands and it seemed to be quite close to having the right texture (not too dry, and not too wet). and truthfully, he did as the recipe he'd gotten for chicken alfredo from winslow? it called for homemade noodles so he figured he might as well try his hand at it. though barton still wasn't good at certain aspects of it, like actually rolling the dough through the pasta maker. a purposely overdramatic sigh left his lips then, ❝ ahh, but i'm really no good at rolling the dough through the pasta maker myself. if only there were someone here who could do it for me. ❞ he discretely looked over to edward afterward as if to say ' i'm totally not talking about you here, but also, i am. ' barton really didn't like to look like he wasn't an expert at things in the kitchen after all when he'd been cooking so long.

but this was only his second time making this, so he supposed it was more than reasonable for him to still struggle with it. barton stopped kneading the dough and looked at edward through squinted eyes as if analyzing him, ❝ i'm still a bit confused as to why you would come here when you're not injured. would you mind telling me again why you're here, considering i don't think you like me enough to be here simply for a social call? oh, and while you're doing that, could you also get me that dough cutter over there? thanks, ❞ a small unreadable smile ghosted across his features while he gestured towards the blade a little ways away from him. edward had honestly given him no reason to hate him, so as it stood, he felt rather ambivalent towards him. ❝ say, you aren't a vegetarian... right? because i'm making chicken alfredo. and enough to feed a small army, probably, so you can definitely have some. ❞

just got reminded that utmv is a thing. it's so weird looking back at my old fandoms cause i used to be so obsessed with you and now you're the horrors. what happened

Found a good AC for my house, but I can only get it there if I buy it via Amazon, since the manufacturer refuses to ship to me or provide a pickup location. Waiting to buy it until it will arrive on a day I’m actually home. I’ve been visiting my sister/bro/nephew every two weeks. Hence why I’m up past midnight: too hot to sleep even with ceiling fans.

And if you’re wondering why I have no central air, my house is too old to have the proper ductwork to install it at a price I can currently afford.

[thunderbringer]

good morning boops for everyone!

i think i'm supposed to actually work today but i have not received a phone call yet. so who knows. i'll be around for a minute until that possible phone call happens.

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY. mwah mwah.

[outer-edges]

i swear every time i reread something i wrote, even if it wasn't supposed to be personal, somehow turns into a deep look at my psyche. like the call is coming from inside the house oh my god

(putting my in depth ramblings about this under the cut cuz it got a lil long lol)

the main character of my big original work thinks there is something deeply, profoundly, and fundamentally wrong with her. she doesn't have any close relationships, and she thinks it's because of her fundamental shortcomings. she thinks she's an empty monster totally undeserving of love. she pushes people away and sequesters herself because she's too scared of people truly seeing her, and she'd rather live a waking death than confront that.

she spends her whole life pining for friendship and love and closeness while feeling completely isolated and alone. and now she takes solace in her loneliness and rejects any and all support because she thinks it makes her stronger. she tries to keep a tight string of control over her emotions, and can't ever express how she truly feels to those who actually know her in the real world. she thinks being independent is the true indicator of strength. and literally her entire character arc is about learning that love and support is where real strength comes from. the core of the story is her finding her 'best friend', dropping the superficial mask she shows the world, and revealing herself in totality, being completely vulnerable, and being loved and accepted all the same.

AND GUYS. SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER OF A FUN LITTLE COMIC-BOOKY BUDDY COP HITMAN ROMP. BUT OVER THE YEARS SHE SOMEHOW TURNED INTO THIS. LIKE THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE FUCKING HOUSE OH MY GOD

THEN THERE'S MY FUN LITTLE FANTASY SERIES. GUESS WHAT IT'S ALSO ABOUT? A GIRL WHO IS COMPLETELY ISOLATED AND ALONE AND DENYING PARTS OF HERSELF LEARNING HOW TO EXPRESS HERSELF AND FINDING LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE AND FAMILY.

like even my totally self indulgent spidersona oc that was ALSO supposed to be stupid fun: she has to keep a fundamental secret about herself and lives a double life where she convinced she's going to be ostracized and judged for this second life she's keeping a secret, and this secret keeps her from developing close relationships. then, when she finally finds peace, it's because she finds people she can share her secret with and they love and accept her anyway because they can relate and most have the same secret. THE MAJORITY OF WHICH WAS WRITTEN WHILE I WAS STRUGGLING TO COME TO TERMS WITH MY SEXUALITY....

and that's not even TOUCHING my works where i was self aware of what emotions i was working thru while writing. those are the things i was just doing for funsies 💀

THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE FUCKING HOUSE

If you like The Great British Bake Off and podcasts, I recommend Bake On !

It's a weekly podcast by Travis & Teresa McElroy, where they discuss each week's episode of Bake Off

it's very chill and low key - I especially recommend it if you lack friends who are also passionate about the show lol
