The thing about me is, I’m so rejection sensitive, at least where friendship is concerned, that I have learned to completely ignore the part of my brain that tells me that someone is mad at me or hates me and wants rid of me, essentially granting myself cockroach levels of resilience to passive-aggressive social rejection and ghosting. So yes, I will be That Person. I have absolutely no shame and I will send you 32 things that made me think of you even if you haven’t replied, I will persist in asking you to hang out. Like I choose to believe that everyone is just busy or forgetful or has their own shit going on, it’s the only way I can be a functional human being. So if you want to get rid of me that’s completely fine, but I will take none hints and I’m going to need you to Set Some Clear Boundaries, Ma’am.

Hero of Bombs - My Hero

Whether your hero is fictional or not, I don’t think it matters - what matters is the light & courage they give you when life is dark & frightening. ⚔️🍃

I’ve talked about what Ingo means to me as a character, but not Link. As I thought about it, this is what flowed out (lol…how did my silly AU end up having all these serious art therapy stuff?)

On that note, some of the adults in my life wanted me to quit drawing. My drawings were ripped up a couple times, & I was told art was useless, that no matter how hard I tried someone will always be better than me. Somehow, no matter how very mean they got about it, I still made art, & I’m very glad I did: art helped me survive.

If it helps you weather life’s storms, don’t ever stop creating. 🩵🌧️

PS: that little drawing at the end is a tracing from one of my drawing diaries when I was little, full of fanart & fancomics. ;u;

Maddie: So did you take my advice? Buck: Y-yeah! Thanks, Maddie. Maddie: So? Any updates for the being the best sister in the whole world? Buck: Well, me and Eddie are cool now... Maddie: And...? Buck, shyly: And Tommy kissed me. Maddie, blinking aggressively: ...What.

“You need to ask yourself: What you want, where your loyalties are… and whom do you trust?”

The wildest thing about Mr Scott is that even knowing the truth about him, nothing he says comes across as deceitful. He always gives Eleanor good advice! He’s always sincere to her, yet neither she nor anyone else can see past the sincerity to the truth. He is always honest but his meaning is construed through the assumptions of others

first of all, i want to say tysm for being an inspiration to me 💕 i love your content so much!

i need some advice on how to make my blog cute and what i should post. idk how to balance my content bc i like to write and talk about my interests but idk if that mixes with girly advice and discussions. can you give advice on how to make a great blog?

hey lovely! ✧

omg reading your message literally made me smile so big, thank you for those sweet words! it's the most magical feeling knowing that anything i create resonates with someone else. (i was actually having a bit of a weird day so your timing is perfect)

so you want to create a cute blog but you're torn between your personal interests and more girly advice content? honestly? that tension is exactly what makes the best blogs feel real and not like some perfectly curated magazine. the blogs i always come back to feel like i'm getting to know a whole person, not just a content category.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ embrace the beautiful mess ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

the most captivating blogs are the ones where you can feel someone's personality spilling through. when i started glowettee, i was so worried about "staying on brand" that i ended up feeling disconnected from my own content. the turning point came when i started weaving in my obsession with psychology, and my life dreams like becoming a doctor alongside the study tips and girly advice.

your specific combination of interests is what makes your corner of the internet special. maybe you're into astronomy and skincare, or classic literature and y2k fashion. that unexpected pairing becomes your signature!

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ find your visual language ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

for aesthetics, consistency matters more than perfection. pick 2-3 colors that make your heart happy and stick with them. i use a soft pink, literally every shade of pink lol, and occasionally a dusty sage green in almost everything. it creates a feeling of cohesion even when my topics bounce around.

some tips that helped me:

create a simple header image template you can customize for different posts

find or create 5-7 dividers/decorative elements you love (like the ones i use ✧・゜)

choose a signature sign-off that feels authentically you

develop a consistent way to format different types of posts

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ content that connects ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

instead of seeing your interests and girly advice as separate categories, look for the bridges between them. if you love classic literature and beauty, maybe write about "skincare routines inspired by jane austen heroines" or "what your favorite book says about your personal style."

the magic happens in these crossovers because they're uniquely you. nobody else has your exact constellation of passions and perspectives.

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ rhythm not rules ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

rather than strict posting schedules, think about rhythm. maybe mondays are for motivation, wednesdays for your special interests, and fridays for more girly advice. this gives your blog a sense of structure without becoming a chore.

i used to stress about posting consistently until i realized that quality connections matter more than quantity. sometimes i disappear for a week when life gets messy, and that's okay! the right followers stick around because they're there for your voice, not just daily content. i also completely forgot about my posting schedule in my pinned post lol, i don't even follow it!! (i really need to update that...)

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ write like you're talking to a friend ･:࿔ೃ.⋆

the posts that get the most response are always the ones where i write like i'm texting my best friend. not perfectly polished, just genuinely me. let your personality shine through your writing style, use the words you actually use, reference the things you actually love.

your blog is a living thing that will evolve as you do. my earliest posts make me cringe a little now, but they were necessary stepping stones. give yourself permission to experiment and change direction when something feels right.

sending you the warmest wishes for creating something that feels like magic to make and share. your unique blend of interests is exactly what makes your voice worth hearing.

xoxo, mindy 🤍

p.s. the fact that you're even asking this question tells me your blog is going to be absolutely lovely. the most beautiful spaces come from thoughtful creators!

the thing about jiang cheng’s relationship with jin ling is that it is not the sugar-coated caretaking film which people wish to see it through and this is besides the fact that jiang cheng was physically abusive towards jin ling. jc was not interested in imparting good values to jin ling or partaking in his upbringing in any meaningful manner. what he taught jin ling was violence and anger and his own abrasive and entitled world views. he exposed jin ling to his treatment of demonic cultivators for a substantial enough time for jin ling to have been desensitised to it in some capacity. his lessons to jin ling were about being indiscriminately ruthless to anyone who he perceived to practice demonic cultivation. jiang cheng wasn’t “raising” jin ling to be a good, upstanding individual but moulding him with his worst impulses and never once reflecting over what that meant for jin ling and his future. people citing jiang cheng’s displays of overprotectiveness (which themselves are a detriment to jin ling’s progress) as proof of jiang cheng being this caring, kind uncle is an oversight of how utterly careless jiang cheng is with jin ling. jiang cheng wielded his influence over his nephew quite callously and he did jin ling damage by trying to make him another wheel in his vehicle of violence and that is unrefutable.

at this point in my life i feel very "marsha thankk you for the dialectics but i need you to leave" about diagnostic labels, not because i think those labels are fake or stupid but because i personally can't do much with them. i would love nothing more than to have an appointment with a psychiatrist where they sit down with me for 3 hours and take a full life history and then at the end they tell me "you are autistic" or "you have OCD" and prescribe me The Vitamin that will make all of my problems vanish, but since that won't happen all i can really do is read books and go, "yeah that sounds like me" and then proceed to do nothing with that information

Respect your educators as people and employees, but if they're bad at their job remember that they're being paid to educate you and it's their boss's job to make sure they're not acting foolish. If they're acting outta pocket, report it to the employment office or the dean/principal. Don't suffer through someone powertripping because they're betting on nothing happening.

I always respect your rule about suggestive posts, and I am 100% on board with it.

However please keep in mind that at least on mobile if there are many tags on a post some of these will be hidden! And some people might not notice the tag! Even I sometimes caught myself almost liking/reblogging something because I zoned out and didn't notice (I'm also a dummy and might not register that something is suggestive, especially that english isn't my first language.) When tagging questionable posts, please put the #suggestive tag first. Or not, I'm not gonna order you how to tag your posts, but please concider.

Thank you for reading and have a good weekend!

Sincerely, a 16yo ULTRAKILL fan

I’ll try to remember to put that tag at the front. I schedule all the posts when I’m at work so I’m usually more preoccupied with making sure no one is standing behind me while I’m doing that so the tags are an afterthought. But like I said I’ll try to fix that for future posts.

But anyway I reblogged that warning cause I had to block 2 accounts that followed and blatantly said they were 14. Meaning they couldn’t bother to read the short af blog description I have there. It’s right there as soon as you open the account. I can’t make it any more obvious. And I know they scrolled through the account because they were liking old posts that were tagged as well. They didn’t just follow from their dashboard. Not slick.

Like. Come on. I too was on tumblr from the age of 13 but I had the common sense to not do that. Stay out of trouble. Don’t cross people’s boundaries. 10 years from now you’ll realize how uncomfortable it’d be to have a 14 year old thirst posting in your replies.

If you’re going to do it anyway. Do that in your private discord or whatever with your friends that are (hopefully) around your age, I can’t stop you. But doing it out in the open with 0 respect is an auto block from me. Not only because it’s weird, but it opens themselves up to being creeped on.
