so I made the mistake of listening to the character songs sung by the voice actors and it sparked a buggy centric mad max style musician/music au and I cant get it out of my head here is a google doc with all the details and my reasonings

I tried not to change much about one piece's wacky world since I love it so much

how are you so in love with yourself...this is not me accusing you of narcissism or smth i genuinely am in awe of how much you seem to like yourself and be in love with yourself and I try so hard to be like you and do that too but i fail every single time...i really really want to know how I could be like this too because i know it is one of the biggest things stopping me from achieving happiness

Not sure if this is a ubiquitous experience, but for me personally affirmations can only go so far. There’s always been a direct correlation between me doing action-based things and my self-esteem increasing, so I try to keep my promises to myself (study at x time, work out at y time, just doing whatever I need to do even if I don’t have the motivation for it). Someone told me that self-esteem comes w doing esteemable things, and I’ve never forgotten that since. What someone thinks about me (including the gargoyle voice in my head lol) won’t faze me if I have tangible accomplishments under my belt I can refer back to on bad days

Creators I love you but it's time to wake up

Among rumors about our tumblr user data being sold off to Midjourney/Generative AI, recent Extremely transphobic events (that have been ongoing) coming to a head, another extremely concerning internet censorship bill being pushed in upper levels of government, and a general air of frustration over how the site belongs to and is operated by perhaps the second stupidest CEO (second only to twitters own) of our age, I'm very done with the last few vestiges of what the old internet held for artists.

And if you're reading this, you probably are too.

I know we're tired. We are all tired. It is not always viable to pack up shop and move, again and again and again.

From tumblr to twitter to anywhere else we've ever grown up posting, things no longer work. Our audiences are kneecapped by aggressive and hostile algorithms, our reach is abysmal - if we aren't shadow-banned or silenced for one (transphobic) reason or another, we're thrust into an ever growing pit of hostility where the only thing that drives clicks is fighting and contention.

We're tired. We're so fucking tired. We aren't businesses, we aren't content mills, we cannot keep this pace that modern social media has set for us, to wring every ounce of creativity out of us to profit from and leave us rotting.

The key to staying afloat here, and I cannot stress this enough, is to stay connected to your peers.

Pack up and move as units if you must. Exodus from the sites that are killing us. Push your entire friend group of artists to move from one site to the next that promises you a kinder experience.

Art drives movements, it drives change, it is all that encompasses being human. If you take that away from the shitty places, they will be left with nothing but a cesspit of inhumanity and the people who follow you will be more incentivized than ever to move with you.

Yes, this is terrifying. There are no guarantees. There never was, and never are, and never will be.

But stay connected. Stay human.

Support each other and be willing to hold hands and jump when we all - as a group - need to jump from the flames we're all trying to convince ourselves wont kill us before rescue comes.

Rescue isn't coming, rescue will be found hand in hand with each other. I'm offering you my hand, please take it. There's always a new start, there are always helping hands reaching for you. You have to look up from the doom-scroll long enough to see and take them.

even if you can't help, pls reblog, as someone you know might be able to :)

i need help from you guys. i'll be done with my bachelors soon, but i want to start working in fashion (management or a fashion house). even internships require a degree in marketing, business etc, so how can i get started?

obvs i am considering studying fashion management, but i don't know if we can afford it, so i want to try a practical way. anyone know anything?

Another month of silence when things were going so well but well, life happens. I actually managed to draw a bit through all that happened and couldn't bring myself to like post or interact. I'm sorry for that. I'll throw some things in queue now that I'm procrastinating looking for a new job while having a lot of free time.

I mean tbh I'm oddly good now? Idk how long will it last but compared to like 6 years ago (last time I really had to look for job after working in small family run businesses that fucking sucked as much as you can imagine and then some) I must say people are right, things do get better. And it creeps up on you. I'm slightly baffled about that.

Like honestly. I'll actually miss my old job. And compared to 6 years ago now I have savings, reasonably rented apartment and they will still pay me for almost 2 months of not working. I even have (maybe naive) hope that the looking for a new job process won't be so bad :)

velvette to me is soo the girl who got bullied in middle school and never got over it and now wants to be the bully every chance she gets

[seaside-coffeemilk]

A meme that turned into a continued concept, I guess.

Originally envisioned them yelling at the Zeniths for mistreatment of Beta, then figured out it would be funnier if they each yelled for even more different reasons.

Patrick's angry for the gene ethics and the mistreatment of Beta .

Elisabet's angry at the whole Zenith fiasco, Gaia's destruction, for Beta's treatment and for Aloy's almost abduction.

Aloy's angry at the whole mess the Zeniths made, also here I imagine her angry for Beta, for Varl, and at them for chasing her down and nearlly costing her her life.

If I understand this right, someone used your blog as an example for needing to be available to talk 24/7 or something like that? Or like having every single info about yourself out in the open? If that is the case - A: rude as hell. B: what happened to respecting people's boundaries and privacy? I'm with you on this, I wish only my mutuals could view my info. No one is entitled to your information or your time. Love how people on here preach about keeping things private to protect yourself from freaks, but will turn around and scold you for not listing every single mental illness you have.

yeah, unfortunately they were like "you've been on tumblr every day since we met so i just assumed you were always available to talk to me." in response to them getting upset that i didn't talk to them for a day (or anyone, for that matter, it wasn't targeted, i just wasn't on discord). i also had a situation recently where someone saw me talking in a server on discord and got upset with me that i spoke there but didn't reply to their dm.

i'm someone with very low spoons on most days, i'm disabled and suffer from chronic pain, so sometimes i only have the energy to reblog a few things, make a random personal post sometimes, or make a few comments in a server (because group situations online require less spoons for me because if i leave it doesn't halt things dead). i tend to find 1:1 conversations very exhausting, so i can be really slow with it and take a few days to reply, or longer even, and sometimes i can talk a lot! but it shouldn't be expected of me (or anyone!!!).

i'm of the firm belief that the current internet age of always being online/active is pretty damaging because it leads to people feeling entitled to your time. i miss the days where if my phone wasn't topped up you're just not getting a text from me. see you in a week when i'm allowed to put £10 into my phone!!!

listen, yall, I get SO much love on here from people who feel that this blog has been healing and/or enlightening, who have found peace here, have found meaning and ferocity here. few things in life give me as much happiness and strength as when I get to see/hear from women & girls whose lives are better in any way, to any degree, because I keep choosing to fight, to organize, to speak up, to write, to be a sister to all women.

but goddess knows, none of that would be possible without my wife. she is my rock. she does so much to keep me functioning at this level, including making sure I'm fed/hydrated/medicated when I'm so often unintentionally neglecting my basic needs. she has the most incredible and exhilarating deep conversations, often for many hours at a time, with me - about everything from philosophy to theoretical physics to theology, and so much more. but mostly about feminism, about women's history and future. though, honestly, most conversations of the other topics find their way to feminism eventually. she keeps my body and brain well-nourished and engaged.

she is even going to be collaborating with me on some upcoming projects on here, likely including a deep dive & balanced critique of Blanchard's research methodologies.

so I think a @/psychichologramnightmare (shh im not tagging her so its a surprise!) appreciation day is long overdue!! if you've ever found my blog/my writing/my feminism beneficial, please do consider passing along some of that love to her!! 🥰🥰🥰
