man the thing about beauty standards and being ugly and being pretty and being insecure is that ultimately you do just kinda have to Decide that youre pretty. like ultimately thats how you become pretty, or hot, or sexy. you have to just Decide that you Are. you have to recognize that its made up, its arbitrary, its subjective, and that people might disagree with you about it, and as much as you are able, you need to completely and utterly disregard their opinions on your appearance, and decide that youre pretty now. and THEN.
you need to find beauty in "ugly". you need to recognize that ugly is made up, that its arbitrary, that its subjective, and you need to be able to find the beauty in it all. and this means you cant bodyshame people. you cant body shame shitty celebs or politicians. you need to base your criticisms on the substance of their character and misdeeds and unhinged horrific opinions and not give a shit about what they look like. you cant go calling people ugly for being shitty. you cant go calling people ugly for looking A Way You Dont Like.
and then if you wanna really galaxy brain this shit you start using ugly as endearment. OBVIOUSLY do not fucking call other human beings ugly. that shit is far too loaded, its just Rude. Dont call specific features of people or even characters ugly cos thats also too loaded. as a term it has baggage. but you can see the ugly in tacky, loud, garish clothing, and it can be Good. you can see the ugly in a distinctive, horrible tiny car from the 90s, and it can be good. you can see the ugly in animals that have evolved to look the way they do, without a single thought of what humans find appealing. you can see the beauty and the freedom in "Ugliness". you can break out of this shit altogether and feel nothing but disdain for anyone who stoops to insulting your appearance if they disagree with you about shit. you can get completely out of the cave of these beauty standards. you can find it so freeing to revel.in letting yourself be ugly. in recognizing that the way you look and exist might be ugly to some people, and youre out of the cave enough to simply recognize. thats just your opinion and it doesnt matter. didnt ask.
you can look at ppl arguing about the correct amount of skincare products to use daily, the Correct Amount of makeup, and whether or not its radical to conform to beauty standards or defy them and argue about is it really conforming if visible makeup pisses men off, and you can say, well I dont care about any of that, I recognize the societal pressures of flawless skin and all that but you see,
I just want to look like a silly little clown :o3

got tagged by @muttfangs, thanks!!!
Favourite color: this might be a weird answer considering i'm red-green colorblind and i can barely see it half the time but i love red! especially bright neon red is just oughhh 😩 i also loooove all neon and pastel colors (but fuck pink, it always just looks gray to me unless it's a reeeally vibrant pink)
Favourite Song: i took way too long to think about this and never got to a proper answer bc i love so many bands with all my heart, but i'll mention a couple of songs that i like A LOT:
Foxing - The Magdalene
Basement - Pine
Porter Robinson - Something Comforting
Currently reading: nothing, i'm really bad at reading stuff :( i would love to read the last part of the Don't Ever Wipe Tears Without Gloves trilogy but it's such a heavy story i'm not sure when i'm mentally ready to actually finish it 💀💀💀
Currently watching: rewatching dragon ball z! i just got past frieza saga :3
Coffee or Tea: don't fucking talk to me till i've fucked my coffee
Currently craving: fried noodles and chicken curry 😩😩😩

ayyyy whats up tumblr im having a kofi sale!
my heating bill is absolutely absurd this month for some goddamn reason, so i put a bunch of stuff on my kofi shop on sale. most items have gone down by $5-10, and almost everything has free shipping to the USA.
here are some of the weird and wonderful items you may be able to purchase from me:
VAMPIRE ROSARIES
yes, they have teeth. yes, they have blood. yes, i have three of them and none have sold yet for some reason? get on this deal before i decide to keep them myself!
HERETIC PRIDE KANDI
i mostly made these because i wanted them, but i had enough beads for more so i made multiple sets. there are also chokers.
VARIOUS OTHER ROSARIES
i just really like making rosaries tbh. the driftwood & teeth one has been on my shop for over a year so it's been discounted multiple times. the other ones are newer, but they're cool as hell imo, so they're worth the extra couple bucks.
EVEN MORE WEIRD TEETH JEWELRY
is this what the kids these days call "goblincore"? they've got teeth. they've got skulls. they've got mushrooms. one of them even has a bell from an old cat collar. these necklaces will trans your gender, guaranteed*!
*not actually guaranteed. i just think they are very gendery.
BOOKS!
oh god oh fuck i have so many books. hold on. wait a second.
PRIDE FLAG BOOKS !
i started these in pride month last year and it took me like five months to finish them. oops! you can buy them now though, and these ones are quite affordable compared to my usual journals and notebooks.
OTHER BOOKS
i'm not even going to include a link for this one because there's seven of them. just scroll through the shop, you'll find them. i have a couple with lined paper, and i think there's one with grid paper left too, if you're the kinda person who likes grid notebooks. they're all discounted at least $5, and shipping is free on all of them! this is a big deal, tbh, because these are pretty damn expensive and time-consuming to make, so take advantage of the sale if you are in need of a new notebook! these ones are very cool!
aaaaaand last but not least...
NO CHILDREN "FRIENDSHIP" HEART JEWELRY!
you know 'em. you love 'em. you probably followed me because i blazed a post about 'em the day after blaze was rolled out. i WILL NOT BE MAKING MORE OF THESE, and there are only a few left, so GET 'EM BEFORE THEY'RE GONE FOREVER! guaranteed* to make the perfect valentine's day gift for your most beloathed ex!
*again, i am not actually guaranteeing anything, but can you imagine how funny it would be to give this to your ex? do it, i dare you.
(つ≧▽≦)つ---✧。* 。* 。* ❤
and that's all for now! feel free to reblog this post, share it, email it to your mom, whatever! please help me pay my dang heating bill! thanks i love you!

Hiya! I was wondering if you'd be open to me writing out your RLGL AU for you? I love the AU, and I've been following it for a while, so I'd love to give back:)
-Cat
Hi there Cat!
I would absolutly love reading anything you would want to write about the RLGL AU though i dont really think that writing it all out for me will be that possible because i myself do not know where exactly the story will go...
You can obviously write about szenes that i already showed or mentioned or write your own ideas you can even take the setting and make it into your own thing if you want to write something more extencive than just loose szenarios!
I would go absolutly wild over anything you would want to create for the RLGL AU<333
