Shoutout to all the other adults who have acne or any other condition of the skin that you are expected to outgrow or "just deal with."
Adulthood isn't this magical time where everything just disappears, and the reality is that these skin conditions are largely genetic. It isn't your fault (nor your skin's fault) that you are an adult with different skin than other people. In fact, it's neutral (and even, dare I say, good!).
#positivity#body positivity#acne positivity#i have skin redness and acne still and it actually is a neutral thing at worst :3#in fact it makes me feel better because it gives me the (false) notion that i am genetically more like him than anybody else :)#he has the same unique features i do :)#and it's helped me appreciate body moles and non-ski slope noses and boney features#as much as people like to pretend that body image is shallow (it can be) it's still not a moral failure to be insecure#we live in a society after all and it's inevitable that society's messaging can become like a malevolent growth in your brain#it's okay if you have a hard time with the reality that your features are neutral at WORST. it's hard to swallow that pill sometimes#but no matter what just know that you are lovable and you are loved. as you are too#do what you want forever dear reader#oh hey the 'him' that the tags didn't include is my dad! not some Mystery Guy lmaooo

I think
Didn't Jack's reasoning develop Daddy Issus in him ??
You mean his extreme perfectionism? It contributes to it, yeah. Kind of a chicken and egg scenario tbh, hard to say which came first. Did Jack's fear of disappointing his father predate his perfectionism, and ultimately lay the foundation of its existence? Or was he born believing he always needs to be more than he is, and that impostor syndrome ended up creeping into his thoughts and feelings regarding his father? Who can say? He's not doing himself any favors regardless. In this situation, Jack is his own worst enemy. His feelings of inadequacy are like a perpetual motion machine. Always devising and "fulfilling" its own prophecies
If they would just sit down and talk to each other man-to-man, it would make a big difference. But Burning Spice hasn't been any good at talking to people in a long time (no matter how much better he's gotten as a person, there are just some things you lose that you'll never get back. Not after living a life like that), and Jack, well-intentioned little martyr that he is, never likes to talk about his problems. He buries them deep and focuses on doing right by others instead, all the time and forever. It's not healthy. It would hit a lot closer to home if his father sat him down, looked him in the face and told him he doesn't always need to put himself last, and he doesn't need to be afraid of not being good enough, because he is. He always has been.
#and i specify that Burning Spice needs to be the one to impart that wisdom to Pepper Jack over everyone else - including his mother...#...because of his past as the Herald of Change/History. Once upon a time BS wasn't so different. didn't think or behave all that differentl#feeling as though he always had to carry the weight of the world all the time. lest he let everyone down and be a failure.#Jack has it easier because he at least gets to be a normal person when he wants. BS was thrust into his role immediately. with no choice#so he understands that feeling. that pressure to perform. feeling like the world is watching you. expecting things from you. that was him.#it still is. but things are different now. He chose to accept the responsibility of co-ruling the GCK with his wife#he chooses to be a better leader to the Wild Spices than he was before. it wasn't dumped on his lap like being the Herald was.#he doesn't want his son to feel like he did then. he doesn't deserve to feel so much pressure. especially not as a child#the last thing BS ever wants is for his kids to end up like him. giving in to hatred and despair. he'd do anything to prevent that#if Jack would just open up about his feelings then Spice would try to help. reassure him that he loves him and is proud of him.#that he doesn't have to push himself so hard all the time. that he should be kinder to himself.#Jack has nothing to prove that he hasn't already proven just by being himself#cookie run kingdom#burning spice cookie#pepper jack cookie#burningcheese#goldenspice

ahhhh 😌
the relief of getting to build pottery again after… like three weeks 😬
finally starting on some commissions I’ve had on my whiteboard since 2024! feels good
#it’s weird how when you stop doing something for awhile#sometimes your brain decides restarting is really hard#even though there really isn’t much difference between me not building a mug because I wasn’t making pottery#vs me not building a mug because I’m busy building plates#the skills aren’t going to atrophy quickly but boy does my brain try to pretend they will!#I can still play cello for fuck’s sake and I haven’t played regularly since like 2007#THOSE skills have atrophied#along with my callouses#but I can still play#I had a failure on a big piece right before the end of 2024#and then I stubbornly beat my head against a challenge that was really ridiculous#the clay was too hard but I just couldn’t leave the sculpture alone!#it failed#surprising no one#and then it was kiln time#and I had no time or energy for creating#so I felt kind of stuck I guess#I knew if I gave myself a really easy first day#everything would be fine#and I was right lol#I’m back to making

camchase as a hilson parallel except it’s chase who is 100% wilson and cameron who is 160% house
#hate crimes md#malpractice posting#chameron#hilson#yes i'm tagging this hilson. bc i am right#trust me on this. it’s way more accurate this way.#sure chase us a house parallel in other ways but in this?#cameron who keeps self sabotaging and is afraid of failure and refuses to try#cameron who keeps trying to reduce the relationship to rational and emotionless terms#to make it scientific against all evidence and feeling#who is terrified of that kind of vulnerability#who has suffered terrible heartbreak and loss and lets it color every inch of her#who refuses to change and open up because that’s a loss of control#and chase who really truly believes if he tries hard enough it will make up for any lack#who is loyal to cameron to the end and takes all manner of neglect and thoughtlessness#not because he’s so selfless and wonderful and kind but because he’s just as screwed up#and knows it#and feels like cameron is maybe his only chance#maybe his first real chance#at any kind of love of affection#and spends most of his time looking desperately for connection in all the wrong ways#settling for the first people he sees#falling in love and being unable to sustain or fake it longer than a few days#i am. telling you.

Ena the freakers
#i wasn't necessarily trying to emulate the style but honestly? kinda impossible for me to draw an Ena#without making it look a lot like it#because she's hard to stylize to me#anyways. this is more of an oc than an enasona but at the same time kinda of one too?#i think i mentioned how I've been feeling pretty shitty these past few months. back in therapy n all#so this freak is a goofy exaggeration of of my own bs#“i am a failure I can't do this I'm terrible at this” and the rare instance where i go “i can do anything.”#+some more unrelated silly shit to make this more oc-esc. in a way#so yeah! Fighter Ena. Courageous (green) and Terrified (purple)#hyena scribbles#Ena#Ena joel g#Ena dream bbq#dream bbq#Ena oc#Enasona#Fighter Ena

he’s so teenager…
#honestly i think that’s my favorite part of homestuck#all the kids feel like real people i know irl#like comically exaggerated a lot of the time esp for the trolls and the alpha kids#but real brands of guy nonetheless#which is probably part of why hussie’s complete failure to give most of them satisfying arcs stings so hard…#art#sketch#traditional art#fanart#homestuck#dirk strider#phase 67

Now that you've made it to the autumn of
Your years and you feel your best yet
-The Bottom of It, Fruit Bats
Izuocha week 2024 Day 6: Cycle/Miracle

Especially the kid whose elderly version I had an incredibly hard time designing#because it is THAT hard for me to envision him living past like 45 no joke

Some days, that looks like crushing my entire to-do list. Some days, that looks like getting through half my to-do list. Some days, that looks like checking off one or two things. Some days, that looks like a "side quest" or two that wasn't on the list. Some days, that looks like moving from the bed to the couch. Some days, that looks like cooking a meal from scratch. Some days, that looks like microwaving soup from a can. Some days, that looks like meals chock-full of vegetables. Some days, that looks like no vegetables unless ketchup counts. (It does.) Some days, that looks like a full night's sleep. Some days, that looks like 4 hours of sleep. Some days, that looks like a full shower. Some days, that looks like a bird bath at the sink and a dose of dry shampoo. Some days, that looks like just making it to the next day. Some days, that looks like a big win. Some days, that looks like a bunch of small wins. And all of them are "my best."
#doing your best#self compassion#progress#growth#baby steps#spoons#self compassion and accountability can and must coexist#self care#self love#self respect#mental health#you are enough#you are worthy#healing#recovery#adulting#doing the hard stuff#coping#difficult times#chronic illness#you are not a failure

weirder magic systems in ttrpgs pls
#OwlBear Grumbling#ttrpg design#ttrpgs#feels like so much of the time it's roll a die if good result thing i want happens#else nothing or something bad happens#which is don't get me wrong is nice and simplem#assorted systems for determining what a bit of magic does and how hard they are to cast are nice#more interesting failure states would be nice#magic systems that are a little more intergrated into their settings would be nice

lil sketch i made for martch day 20: love. none of my ocs are in relationships and i'm not that huge into shipping in general, so i went with familial love.
5 year old kirik trying to copy the work of his caretaker, agafia.
#oc#original character#martch#martch2025#well anyway i made a sketch because i convinced myself that i can finish a comic for the next prompt on the 23rd. delusion#so here's just a snippet of the simpler times. back when it felt like love and not an investment#agafia and the others have such expectations but dont even realise how those expectations are setting kirik up for failure#and they will never know because he will never be comfortable enough to tell them#it's hard to blame her tho. it's not malice. just a byproduct of the culture#uhhh... it was supposed to be wholesome but i always gotta ruin my own post by overthinking it#fern flower siege#podlachia

guys please pray for me
#I don't know how to explain what's going on but I'm struggling and don't know how to get a handle on it#I think that there's two issues going on that are probably somewhat intertwined because I'm fixating on them as such#so maybe I need to separate out the one that is stupid and I shouldn't be fixating on it#and then just focus on the other thing as it is and not as a symptom of whatever else#idk but it's so weird and complicated that I just can't figure out how to explain it#and I've gone to my mom over stuff related to this enough lately so I won't again#idk I'm just. maybe I'm having a hard time because I'm so tired. I've been getting up early every day this week#and yet still can't fall asleep earlier so I'm not getting enough sleep I don't think.#I haven't had a break since friday#maybe that's part of it#bc I was fine for a while and then this week I'm fixating on what ifs and my own failures (that are somewhat out of my control#because I... don't know how to capture my thoughts while I'm literally mostly asleep? probably habit when I'm awake lol)#so i think there's a level of spiritual attack making me fixate and also just#tiredness#yeah.#anyway.#prayer request

It's alright to scream
I'm screaming too
Why'd you think I do the things I do?
For shadows haunted me like ghosts
So I became what I feared the most
I conduct fear like electricity
A manmade monstrosity
Killer — The Hoosiers
i woke up from a nap with this song stuck in my head and. yea
#kouichi kimura#koichi kimura#digimon frontier#digimon#AGH ok drawing to a song is. a new level of vulnerability for me and im trying to get past the mental block of OH THATS TOO CRINGE#because cringe isnt REAL#((but it sure feels like it))#i fucked up and accidentally made a kouichi playlist and so many of my favorite edgy songs ended up applying to him#and i was like....hmm ok.....this kid is suddenly very interesting#...not that he isnt already very interesting like. he is but hes still sort of hard to grasp since he never had time to really be himself#....anyway#i have. so many thoughts about songs i associate with takuya but. i cant draw that#because i would go through organ failure#like i would literally explode and die#oh the struggle of admitting i have human emotions

I haven’t said this enough recently but I’d like to take a moment to remind everyone…or idk…whoever sees this post…
That I love Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Thank you.
#that man is a disaster and he is the best#i love him and all his infinite sadness and regret and trauma and heartbreak and failures#and anxieties and worries and self loathing and self doubt#all his hubris and sarcasm and snarkiness and sassiness and flirtiness#and how everyone who meets him either falls in love with and/or wants him dead#i love him for all his negotiating and meditating and nerdiness#i love his ability to befriend everyone he meets and his love of animals and all living things and how hard he tries to hold onto hope#his desperate need to be good enough and his love of adventure and his tendency to get kidnapped and his hatred of flying#and above all i love him for the endless love he carries inside of him#how he fought so hard to never give up on anakin and how he spent the rest of his life watching over his kids#how he learned to be himself again after spending time with a feisty ten year old leia#how he softly cried as qui gon and satine died in his arms and how he refused to be the one to kill anakin#how he saw padme and anakin in their kids and how they reminded him to have faith in whatever remaining good there was left in the galaxy#this man had this insane life and went through so much and somehow never fell to the dark side#even when he and the ones he loved were always at the center of all that damn tragedy#yeah i love obi wan#star wars#obi wan kenobi#the clone wars#a new hope#the phantom menace#attack of the clones#revenge of the sith#obi wan kenobi series#star wars original trilogy#star wars prequel trilogy#kate's post
