sitting on the balcony watching the sun rise while listening to bears in trees and i've never felt so hopeful for the future. i will heal. i will find myself. i will have new friends who'll actually care. i'll bake cookies and read and go for walks around the campus, read in the school library and wear the clothes i love. i will find joy in the small things. the sun is rising and i will, too.
Ended up doing a doodle page of the beast form of my persona in an attempt at mimicking the Beastars style!
This got spurred on cause I realized how much Beastars really lead to a lot of my first twinges of species dysphoria and realizing how much I related and connected to the canine characters (ESPECIALLY Jack ohhh I could write an essay about him)
omfg the latest bear necessities… i can’t stop thinking about listening to romantic songs with him on his new record player
AAAA THE VLOG !!!! please it's so domestic i love it. im in love with him. driving around in his car….. playing love songs and just…….. :(((( he's the sweetest. and him singing? hello???
but yes you're so right. imagine a romantic date night with ollie, having gone out for some good italian food and then going back to his apartment where you're just lounging on the couch, watching him as he tries to figure out how the record player works. and when he finally does, a sweet romantic melody pours out and it's perfect – the whole evening is perfect. and to your biggest surprise, ollie even starts singing? his soft voice warms your heart, and you're so impressed with his italian (as always) and you just look up at him literally like this emoji 🥺 and he makes his way over to you, pulling you off the couch, forcing you to "dance" (move around randomly) with him as your giggles meet with the music. and when you rest your head against his chest, you know there's nowhere you'd rather be in the world 🫶
the devil card is number 15 in the tarot deck... it has been 15 years of dnp together... their journey started with phil predicting dan.... the crafty video devil card symbolism.... how does their journey relate to the major arcana if we ascribe each year a card in sequence with 15 being this year...
i wish i could tell little 10-year-old me that he is going to come back. that the distance is going to gift us with the best relationship. that he just needs to be patient.
my brother is coming back home. my heart is coming back home with him.
Sometimes I feel kind of nervous like I took on the therian label too quickly. Cause I hear so much talk from others about how being therian is awful for them like they feel cursed to be in a human body or with the psyche of an animal when for me that's just... not how it is.
Like sure I deal with bouts of species dysphoria but like... I don't feel trapped in this feeling. It's more like I'm a unique and beautiful blend of an experience. Like I experience things from such a personal view and feel so connected to my emotions even though I can't express them. Like their's nothing or no one who'll have experienced life like I do.
Then again I guess I feel the same way with gear and doing quads. Those aren't really things I feel compelled to do but that doesn't change how deeply I feel disconnected from humanity and the "human experience" so who knows.
Thinking about Ollie’s voice breaking on “I just wanted to know the way home” after he grows big from the compass and god they should’ve brought him home sooner but none of them wanted that, Ollie didn’t even want that, but getting back to Zero and seeing how happy everyone was to see him alive and his mother literally worried sick by his disappearance must’ve been such a punch to the gut
Thinking about “I want to go home, but this is my home too”
Thinking about Chip making Ollie’s room in the keep to look like the lower deck of the albatross so Ollie can always remember his time being a pirate
Thinking about how Chip gave Ollie Arlin’s coin because as much as Arlin is his family, Ollie is too
Thinking about how Ollie grew to see Chip as his older brother and didn’t want to leave him and the rest of the crew, but knew he had to since they were heading to the Black Sea soon and he needed to be there for his mom
Just god, thinking about Chip and Ollie and how they both carved out homes on the sea and found a new family within the same crew and found each other as brothers
Going into the final part of our degree feels,,,, chilling in a way? Having been in education basically our entire life it’s really weird actually realising we gotta think forward
