The “Ghost puts you in a headlock during sex” propaganda is getting to me

[canisalbus]

I'm sure you get loads of these but heck I said I'd give it a shot anyway!

Your artwork is so inspiring and beautiful. I recently graduated from art school with a degree in Animation Production but I've decided I'd love to be an illustrator some day. Your work really motivates me and gets my brain juice buzzin. Keep it up!!!

I dont know who needs to hear this- but self-care doesn't have to begin, or be,- skin care, nails, lashes/brows, workouts, hair care, etc, or any other "aesthetically pleasing" "glowup"- and I'm just gonna say it- other buzz words that usually rely on societal beauty standards and buying products to fix your life.

what self-care starts with is you, what actually brings you happiness. self-care starts with finding your happiness.- because happiness leads to contentment, which leads to joy.- and once you find that, so much more can fall into place for you, and you won't feel like you have to "fix" your life as much as you'll want to improve and grow in your life- for you.

-taking care of your body is so important. but I fucking hate as someone who struggles with self-worth and productivity limiting mental health issues and going on to what should be open-minded and diverse tags and being flooded with male gaze-i-fied gatekeeping ideas on what makes someone an "it girl".

actually lloyd deciding that his last words would be dedicated to calling javier bitchless and alicia noona is so funny and iconic of him. he said "i'm gonna go down exactly as i lived. being a pain in the ass to javier and disrespecting the monarchy" and i think that's beautiful <3

Telling me that I just need to be positive about my chronic illness

And then telling me that I talk about it too much and I-

I’m sorry that I mention the condition that affects me every minute of every day. You think I’m mentioning it too much but I’m not mentioning it enough for how much it affects my life.

*Internal screaming*

Just me being mad about something a ‘friend’ said cause he’s kinda turning into an ableist piece of shit

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

not me typing a whole rant about some catholics being insufferably smug about their "better looking churches" while ignoring the history behind the barebone austerity of protestant churches and then deleting it all because my seething anger isn't christ-like either

*gnaws on wood* God help me love your children even when they are absolute prigs

Your brain is so big for grimmnet yuri. This is it, this is the message.

idk i thought everyone was boycotting eurovision (again (for real this time apparently)) and yet somehow everyone is talking about that joost guy. like so you did watch it then or

I need people to remember friendship exist <- a victim to another "Oda is Dazai father figure" takes.

Guys... listen to me... i know this is crazy but. have you ever heard of friendship?

Literally, friendship exists, and friends are tender and care for each other. There is a Wan episode where Dazai points at Ango and says something like "Get him, boy!" to sic Oda on him, who then holds Ango down for Dazai and barks. They are friends. They are ridiculous, silly, profoundly beloved friends.

As someone who has always had mentors, senpais, and friends several years my senior (with much larger age gaps than that between Dazai and Oda): not everyone older than you is your mom and dad and that's a really self infantilizing and surely self isolating approach to the world.

for transexual thursday!!

i am nonverbal and use an aac all the time and recently i changed the voice i use from the default feminine one to one that suits me a lot better! it is a younger masculine voice that i pitched up a bit so to me it feels very androgynes (tho there isn't any one way to be androgynes of course). it brings me a lot of comfort and euphoria to have my voice match up to how i feel about my gender!! i love it a lot!

Aw, that's so sweet! It's so awesome when they make AAC super moldable like that! I'm glad your voice matches who you are better <<3

Rereading the latest princess Luz fic. I love how much Luz is like “I was so mean to you. I’m so cold. I’m so mean to Raine. I don’t know why everyone is so nice to me I’m mean and cruel and evil” and all she did was like. Freeze up and cop an attitude for half a second. Meanwhile Hunter and Amity are committing interpersonal terrorism at each other and have gathered enough enemies on just their attitude alone and Luz is just like “they’re so nice :)”

SHOUT OF LAUGHTER. GOD. YEAH. YEAH....

luz about herself is like if i'm not kind and gracious and accommodating and a limp prey animal at all times then i'm being an evil tyrant. i need to care about everyone else's feelings so much forever

then when she's describing hunter and amity, she's like

"they can do whatever they want. because. i like them :)"

[dangans-ur-ronpas]

was considering turning this blog into a general fandoms blog but tbh the dungeon meshi fandom is exhibiting some vile behavior after that last ep...

new desktop theme! mostly because tumblr only does super tiny icons right now RIP, so I made the sidebar image a close up of my new icon: it's the roman emperor valens from subleyra's the mass of saint basil :)

JoJo Siwa doesn’t deserve all the hate (and homophobia) she’s getting for her style and music; but she does deserve scrutiny for defending Colleen Ballinger and being both active and complicit in abuse that happened on her TV show. Like the girl has been under the public eye in unhealthy environments all her life; cut her some slack — not too much; she’s still a responsible adult — but if you’re going to dogpile her, then at least dogpile her for the right reasons. Jesus Fucking Christ.

I'd rather die than be a 'name 5 songs and the singer's most recent bowel movement or ur a poseur' gatekeeper... but goddamn (rant incoming)

any pretty girl in dark clothes and makeup is goth according to the internet (and the tumblr tags 👀 but that's none of my business). any music that's dark and edgy is goth music. corpse paint is the same as tradgoth makeup*. but being able to 'claim' the goth label is so easy.

Just. Like. The. Music.

any of it! if you like one goth album from one artist that doesn't even have to Be Goth (ie the cure's famous 4, killing joke's titular album from 1980) you can be in the club! it doesn't have to be goth rock! it can be death rock, dark wave, cold wave, ethereal wave!!!

The Gate. Is Wide Open. Don't just hop the fence and take the lawn flamingos.

I only listened to the first and last and always album and a couple other popular songs by sisters of mercy for like a couple months before actually branching out into other goth music (because it is goth, Andrew) and looking into the subculture and ethos. but you don't have to!! you can be that guy that doesn't give a shit about politics or DIY and just wants to tap his feet to siouxsie and the banshees!!!!

you don't have to be at every goth night in a hundred mile radius. you don't have to dress all in black and jingle when you move like you raided a hardware store. you don't have to wear whiteface or elaborate dark makeup or have a billion edgy piercings. you just have to support your favourite goth music artists. and the easiest way to do that,, is to ✨listen✨

it's a dying offshoot-of-an-offshoot music subculture that started in the late 70s that somehow survived this long. it's not a porn/OF category. it's not the same as being into spooky decor. it's great people love the styles goths have brought to the table over the... like 45 years of the genre, but can we at least pretend we're not at the fetishising stage for 5 minutes

(*and stop putting evanescence and the like on 'normie tries tradgoth for the first time' style tiktoks and yt shorts. they can do what they want, but looking up 'goth music' takes 2 seconds)
