To my fellow peeps and creatures with depression

i’m proud of those who are too depressed to keep clean.

too depressed to take showers on the regular, to brush their teeth on the regular, to brush their hair on the regular, to even have hair to begin with cuz you know you won’t take care of it.

too depressed to do any of that, so you start stinking all the time, your teeth are yellow and have bits of stuff in them, your hair is matted/knotty, and you’re tired of how you don’t have much hair at all. you have nothing to be ashamed about. you have nothing to feel bad about. life is hard, your mind tells you lies, it all drains the energy out of you, and it’s absolutely understandable that you can’t do any of that stuff as much as you would like to.

you aren’t gross. you aren’t nasty. and you aren’t ugly. you’re going through so much, and i am so damn proud of you for existing right now, you hear me? so damn proud of you for existing, for doing the best you can. you know, that best that you put out into the world and everything you do right now is absolutely enough. you’re so enough, understand? you’re enough.

and i will gladly give you a hug, make you smile, help you get your hair somewhat manageable so it’s not bothering you so much, and compliment you on your lack of hair.

you’re more than the bad times. you’re more than your worst moments. okay? if someone judges you for struggling and automatically assumes what kinda person you are or any shit like that, just come to me, and i’ll beat the shit out of em and give you the biggest hug in the world. anybody who shames someone for struggling is a total jackass, and do we listen to jackasses? no. no, we do not. cuz all jackasses say is nonsense and stupidity.

you’ve got a beautiful smile. your personality is lovely, your looks are amazing, you don’t gotta smell so nice for that to show and for you to be someone amazing to be around. your hair is super cool in that messy hairdo of yours. and your hair is absolutely badass in that buzzcut style. aight? you understand me? you’re lovely and wonderful and more than your bad moments, and we don’t listen to those who judge us for the bad moments.

i love you. go get some water or juice or even a soda of some sort, anything that’s liquid, even if it’s just a little sip, if you can. go grab a small snack, if you can, could be anything, anything you want or that’s in reach, i don’t fucking care if all you want right now is junkfood, eat the junkfood, it’s something, and that’s awesome. i’m fucking proud of you. and you’re lovely and wonderful and beautiful. and it’s okay to struggle and you don’t have to be ashamed about those struggles. 🤍

get some rest too, by the way. take a nap or two, get to bed now or before midnight if you can.

Ahah so Cosmo did see all the comments and updated the article and its title https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/a40615385/sebastian-stan-girlfriend-alejandra-onieva/

As for his birthday, it seems like he'll still be filming...but at least it's on Saturday, so maybe he'll have some rest. Idk whether we can expect any content though, his previous NY birthday was in 2019 and all we got was his own gym post.

See? This proves ale’s team had no words in this

Well i hope he throws a big party to celebrate it and his successful year, he is a different person from 2019 seb i believe

And also if he is on set we will maybe have some content from a bday party there

[mcl38]

i have a theory that the drivers’ car numbers are their mental ages pls hear me out bc i’m right

lewis: he’s mature. stable. he has a scooter because he wants to be down with the kids. experienced but no signs of slowing down. he’s a 44 year old

valtteri: this guy eats so much porridge because his teeth have fallen off. he goes fucking ice fishing. he’s 77 for sure

sebastian: seb is that kid with the red toy car that makes the vroom noises with his mouth. he does the egyptian dance and sings “ta tara ra ta ta” on the radio when he’s happy. he’s 5

charles: tell me this boy is not 16 like - tell me he doesn’t smoke cigarettes just to look cool and posts filtered pictures of him and his girlfriend at the beach on insta with post malone as the caption

max: god have you ever met a single man in his early 30s. he would bully me for not liking beer. he’s stubborn and kind of angry and he’s 33 and you just got dirt on his polo shirt how dare you

alex: alex is a nice normal person. he acts as a person in their early 20s should, so his age is not that far off his real one. he has an instagram for his cats and he loves his siblings- he’s 23

lando: i mean i know theres an issue abt babying lando too much but guys he’s barely been weaned off milk and he only eats pizza and chicken. he’s 4

carlos: carlos is the uncle at the barbeque who makes the comment that doesnt quite sit right with you. he tries to teach you spanish but you don’t like the way he grabs your shoulder when he talks to you because his hands are sweaty. he’s 55

daniel: i mean. he thinks fart jokes are funny and mostly communicates with noises, not words. he’s 3

esteban: ok listen esteban is that woman who reads cosmo and actively takes sides in celebrity divorces. he would name his child khatelynne. he’s 31

sergio: look, personally 11 is the age everything in my life went downhill and i’m still bitter for poor checo so it fits

lance: lance is a hockey boy. he is runner up prom king. he’s 18

(bonus- hulk: if u told me this man is 27 i wouldn’t bat an eyelash idek what his real age is i trust that 27 so much)

pierre: i wouldn’t be surprised if pierre was genuinely into naruto. also there’s a reason all those children’s book plots with the big redeption arcs all happen to pre-teens it’s just a magical age. he’s 10

daniil: apparently daniil is actually 26 but even if he wasn’t, you know when you meet one of those dudes who’s really into learning guitar? they’re always 26. all of them

kimi: kimi is cranky without an ice cream in his hand. he’d pull out the chair from under you and then refuse to speak when the teacher asks him to apologise. he’s 7

antonio: idk man is anyone even sure antonio’s alive like where is he? he’s 99

romain: ah. 8. the perfect age for bumper cars. he took a ratatouille themed cooking class and he won’t shut up about it

kevin: kevin has just gotten out of his teens and he’s growing disillusioned with the instability of life so he takes it out on others. he’s 20

nicholas: this boy likes nutella and mario kart. he’s just started school and his backpack is blue. he’s 6

george: of course george is 63. he tells you stories about what life used to be “back in the day”. centered, patient but lively, george would show me chuck norris memes on facebook and i’d laugh along because i like him.

how do paparazzi photos work??

putting this all here for my own peace of mind more than anything.

12 Things I Wish I Knew Before Becoming a Paparazzo [Cosmo]

You spend money on tips [people who call you to tip you off to where a celebrity is are oftentimes rewarded with money as a gesture of goodwill].

You can either doorstep, which is when you are assigned or you assign yourself to a particular celebrity, and you go sit outside their house and hope they leave. You could doorstep a gym or a restaurant or an area of town or a city block that celebrities go to a lot. Or you can troll and just drive around looking for celebs.

To be honest, I can recognize a celebrity from a long way away just based on the way they walk and the way they wear their hair. You become really good at people-spotting.

Most people look at the covers of some of the seedier tabloids and they see really negative stories that make it look like the tabloids are all about trashing the celebrities. But 90 percent of what we photograph, and 90 percent of what the public wants and buys are happy celebrities looking stylish with their head up, smiling. Those pictures are what the tabloids want to buy, and those require us as paparazzi to be non-antagonistic with the celebrities and to actually even develop friendships with them.

Cameron Diaz is another one who I love. She's just brilliant. She uses the paparazzi when she wants to and when she needs it: When she and Justin Timberlake broke up, she wanted to get photographed all the time looking super hot and totally used us. We were all here for the use! We were like, "All right, you're making us money. We'll help you, you help us."

A Paparazzo Explains How Staged Celebrity Photos Really Work [Cosmo]

Certain celebrities, like Taylor, not only accept that paparazzi are a part of the business, but they actually go out of their way to use us as a tool for publicity. [...] Taylor loves to have control, and I'm sure she absolutely hates that someone was able to catch her sharing an intimate moment with her new love interest.

Why would a celebrity ever set up and stage photos?

Many setup photos include a paid product endorsement, where a photo agency works as a middleman between a celebrity and a company who has a product to sell. [...] Certain photo agencies specialize in these types of fake paparazzi photos. They usually try to make the photos look natural and candid, but in reality, the celebrity and the photographer are working together.

Control is another big reason for staging photos. There are certain celebs who hate being photographed by paparazzi and they will do anything to avoid it. When your image is such an important part of your career, the last thing they want is to be photographed looking badly. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are a good example of a celebrity couple who hates paparazzi, but you will see nice photos of them released on a regular basis. Those photos are totally set up. When they see paparazzi in real life, they put their heads down and hide their faces — unless they are promoting something.

Another example is when there is high demand for a certain photo. When Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin's daughter Apple was first born, they worked directly with an infamous paparazzi photographer in New York. Together, they staged the first baby photos and made them look like candid pictures, then they sold the shots to a major magazine. The pictures were rumored to sell for upward of a million dollars.

Most paparazzi have heard rumors that the first shots of Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal looking cozy together on a sidewalk in Brooklyn were staged. They were shot with a long lens from a great distance, and the photographer had to put time into the job. But many people believe that his tip came from inside Taylor's own camp.

Most of the staged shots look silly and are very obvious to a trained eye. If it's a huge news story, you always have to wonder, don't you?

Ask a Publicist [Jezebel]

(spoiler alert: 2/3 professional publicists don’t believe that even Hiddleswift was purely a setup. let me reiterate, an extremely over-the-top seeming romance with obvious benefits on either side with two extremely well known celebrities was not seen as a purely fake relationship by PR professionals.)

I am more than sure some short-lived Us Magazine romances were purely for press, and I think they happen with the aid of PR but also the needs of the celebrity. There are obvious things one can watch for: Is the man rumored to be gay? Does the relationship coincide with the promotion of new series or movie? Is the celebrity becoming a has been and worried? Are they only photo’ed together in the most obvious public places?

I’m sure film studios and movie executives are lining up to get him. It’s now as simple as one social media post from Taylor Swift about a movie he’s in and it will go viral.

So there is a lot of planning and scheduling with each and every single movement in their life. So when you see these pictures of couples that seem staged in public, well, they are. And they have to be. Look for the fake celebrity relationship rumors first. Usually that’s PR testing the waters to see how it’s going to affect each of the brands. There is major business and money at stake.

I’m sure there are more fake relationships that the public is unaware of. I don’t think they are always the easiest to spot, nor do I think we really know to look for fake relationships.

The telltale signs would be timing and abruptness (around an upcoming project or release, post break-up), Over-obviousness (t-shirt and tattoo on Tom, professing love, “acts” of desperation), lots of tabloid photos that are not completely candid (like T Swift and Tom on the rocks in Rhode Island, strolling with his mom) and photos taken at close range w/o long-focus lens.

anyhoo, I’ve been uncomfortable with this narrative that one of them sicced the paps on themselves for ?reasons? [insert ur choice wacko conspiracy theory here] when the simplest explanation is that pap was in soho taking pics of various people, recognized Seb (see bullet point 3 in link 1), grabbed a few pics, done. the only mystery here is how/why they were dumped on weibo/IG.

(((- but they match!!! ... ehhhh sort of. their lewks are pretty generic, I bet you could see that exact outfit on ten other people within a 2-block radius.

(((- she’s a beard!! pfffff

(((- he’s promoting Destroyer!!! I mean... not really? Nicole is promoting Destroyer.

(((-he’s doing it for something something fandom something Margo something if one of y’all can draw me a lil diagram of how this does anything for anybody other than the most rabid of fans (including myself why am I even researching this why) and/or why a grown woman in a serious relationship of her own would care about one measly set of awkward & bland pap shots that were not even commercially released I AM ALL EARS

can we talk about how truly awesome aroaces are?

you peeps/creatures are so amazing, and are so valid. so brilliant and so diverse and incredible.

for those of you who aren’t entirely loveless, you don’t NEED to be entirely loveless and don’t need to not want to be a relationship. you’re aroace enough.

you’re aroace enough. you can love your friends incredibly, make them gifts, shower them in platonic love letters, remind them how much you love them, give them the love that they deserve and need, hold their hands. you can love your qpp with strong emotion, cuddle with them, brush their hair out of their eyes, kiss them, be buddies for life, be besties for life. you can love your alterous partner with immense power, hold them close to your chest, kiss away their tears, remind them about how stunning they are, ugly laugh with them, be friends but in the alterous way. you can love your besties or your blood family in the most strongest, dearest way, you can encourage them through the tough times, lift them up again when they’ve fallen, take care of them when they’re sick, remind them how much worth they have, never give up on them. and you’re all still aroace enough.

you can be romance-favorable, you can be sex-favorable. you can be romance-indifferent, you can be sex-indifferent. you can be romance-repulsed, you can be sex-repulsed. you can be a mixture. you’re aroace enough, no matter what.

you may not mind when someone assumes you’re in a romantic-sexual relationship with your friend, qpp, or alterous partner. or you may get upset/feel invalid/feel unseen/feel uncomfortable by it. you’re aroace enough, either way.

for those who are loveless, i don’t know much about you, not as much as i want to know, because you peeps/creatures are so cool. but i know one thing: there’s nothing wrong with you. no matter what society says, what other aroaces even may say, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with you. you don’t need love to be human. you don’t need love to exist and be happy in life.

you’re content with yourselves, that’s absolutely wonderful. you’re content and happy without any love, that’s incredible.

you peeps/creatures are so amazing, and i appreciate your existence so much.

for those who are on the aroace-spec, not oriented aroace, not strictly not experiencing romantic and sexual attraction, those who are aroace-SPEC, you are aroace enough.

the demi-aroaces who adore their friend and then adore them in a different way. not everyone is like you. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

the fray-aroaces who adore strangers so fondly, who sometimes wish they could adore them for longer. you don’t have to adore them for longer. you can adore them for as briefly as you do. you are not a “slut” or emotionally immature. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

the aroacefluxes who adore their partner sometimes, then not as much another time, then not at all, then in a different way, and keep switching. who adore their partner in the same way for too long and think they’re faking it. you are not faking it. you are not indecisive. you are brilliant. you are different, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

the aego-aroaces who want nothing to do with romance or sex in real life, but are content with the stuff in their minds. who are content with stories of romance and sex. you are not faking being aroace, you can enjoy something in theory but not want to participate in it. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

the cupio-aroaces who desperately want a romantic and sexual relationship, but do not experience romantic and sexual attraction. who feel like they’re letting their partners down for not experiencing it. who feel like they’re missing a part of themselves and have no idea why it’s gone. you are not missing a part of yourself, you are not letting anyone down, you are enough as you are, and you don’t need to be repulsed by those things. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

the (light and dark and in-betweens) gray-aroaces who feel as if they don’t belong anywhere, who feel as if they’re letting their partners down by not feeling enough or not feeling it frequently enough, who feel confused about how they feel and can’t decide what they want because of that, who feel they don’t feel enough for a partner, who feel they feel too much to be aroace. you are so belong somewhere. you belong with us aroaces. you don’t need to feel the same as allos to have a partner and love that partner and you don’t need to feel it every minute of every day to have a partner and love that partner. it’s difficult not knowing things but it’s okay to not know and be okay with that, you don’t need to know to be valid. you don’t need to feel the same way allos do, you DO feel enough for your partner, there should be no description for enough. you don’t feel too much to be aroace, you ARE aroace, you’re not faking it, you’re not making it up for attention. you’re different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

the electio aroaces who question if they’re really aroace every day because they want relationships and connections and companionship. you are not faking it, you are not seeking attention, you ARE really aroace. you do not need to feel any tertiary attraction to crave those things. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

the aroacespikes who question every time they have a spike if they’re honestly their label. you are not making it up. you are what you are. you are aroacespike. you do not need to be one or the other. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

the encie aroaces who keep questioning if they’re really aroace since they DO experience sexual and romantic attraction, but just in this specific way. who are confused about how the attractions work and differ. who feel upset/sad/guilty for experiencing the attractions not automatically or “as easily” as they feel they should. you are valid, you ARE really aroace. you do not need to experience it right away, it is okay to need to know the mind of the person first. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

to those with aroace identities that don’t match up, or are super unheard of, or those who have just started questioning if they’re aroace. you are valid, you are seen, you are appreciated. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

to those aroaces who struggle with intrusive thoughts or are aroace because of trauma, you are valid and seen and heard. you are aroace enough. you are not faking it, you are not seeking attention. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

to those oriented aroaces who love being who they are because they have not yet met hate or because they have found a way to love themselves through it all or because they have found a way to love themselves after experiencing hate. you are wonderful people and i’m so happy that you’ve found peace for yourselves. i’m proud of you for making it on through the hate.

to those oriented aroaces who hate being who they are because they are going through the hate and are tired and wish nothing than to be allo. you are wonderful people. and despite what society has told you, it is okay to feel these things and there is nothing wrong with you, you are human as you are. i hope that your situation gets better, and i’m proud of you for hanging on through.

to aroaces who are aroace because of their neurodivergence, you are valid and are seen and are heard. you are not faking it, you are not just confused. you are valid. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are valid. you are aroace enough.

to aroaces of all kinds, you are amazing, brilliant, wonderful people/creatures. and you are queer. you are queer enough. you are aroace enough. you are different from allos, that is okay, you are seen and heard and valued and valid.

i appreciate all of you so much.

the asexual experience of finding sex and talking about sex gross, but at the same time not understanding why people are so squeamish about the subject and so hesitant to talk about it cuz it’s just sex for fucks sake, nothing special.

fellow reality shifters of tumblr, how do you fully detach yourself from your CR?

i am very happy and content with my CR pretty much right now, but i also want to shift, but i’m wondering if one of the reasons why i haven’t been able to yet is because of how happy i am in this and therefore am so connected to it that i do not wish to leave it on a subconscious level. do you think this is a possible reason for why i’m not shifting, and if so, how do you suggest i detach myself from my CR? if it isn’t a possible reason, could you maybe still suggest ways to detach yourself from your CR though please?

[sebcosmothetransguy]

i’ve been considering the label frayromantic lately (as well as other ones), and i’ve been looking for definitions/examples of it.

as i was going down that rabbit hole, i found that a lot of people seem to think that frayromantic is “liking the idea of the person and falling in love/being infatuated with that, and then those that love/infatuation once they get to know the person and find out they don’t like who they really are”.

THIS IS NOT TRUE.

frayromantic is being romantically attracted (liking a person/falling in love with a person/etc.) to a person before having a strong bond with them, and as they grow that bond with that person, even if they do like who the person is and that person is awesome and fulfills their needs and etc., they lose those romantic feelings.

i will highlight the very key parts if some of you don’t see the difference: frayromantic is being romantically attracted (liking a person/falling in love with a person/etc.) to a person before having a strong bond with them, and as they grow that bond with that person, even if they do like who the person is and that person is awesome and fulfills their needs and etc., they lose those romantic feelings/attraction. their losing of attraction/feelings is not due to the person’s personality, physical appearance, or anything else like that. it is simply how that works.

and it is NOT falling in love with the idea of them and losing that love when they get to know the person and the person is actually not so good/nice.

alright? does everybody get it now?

[sebcosmothetransguy]

aroace community who experience other tertiary attractions, i have a question.

is there a word/label for experiencing a bunch of different attraction labels at the same time, that it is so intense and SO MUCH, that it feels like it is another attraction label that is not any of the ones you’re feeling, but it isn’t another attraction label and is just those attractions?

if there is, and you know about it, please let me know. both my partner and i experience this, and were wondering if there’s a word/label for it.

[sebcosmothetransguy]

original short story + art by me

since the poll ended up being yes as the most votes for if yall wanted me to post a short story and art for it, i will now being doing so

it’s called The Hole

There was once a little creature called Lynx. 

Lynx lived on a star. He’d wander around, his little glowing feet pattering on the star’s bright surface, as he’d search for star pebbles and salamanders and star kelp. 

He’d spend his days building little towers and homes for the salamanders to crawl on and play with, he’d tie the star kelp around the salamander’s bellies and walk them around the star, his laughter twinkling as he’d watch the sparkling salamanders flounder around and gulp up star juice. 

Lynx spent his mornings and day-times sleeping, his face burrowed into the back of a salamander buddy, as a bunch of them covered his tiny glowing body with their tough, warm scales. While he slept, he dreamt of eating star-berry pies all night and having star juice with his salamander friends. At night, when the star was glowing happily, Lynx woke to start his day and all the salamanders pattered away to go hide in the star kelp for him to find again. 

One morning, Lynx’s salamander friends didn’t come to cover him with their warm scales. He was worried and he was alone and he was very cold. The star during the day wasn’t as hot and glowing as it was at night, and everything was too dark and scary then. Lynx didn’t like it very much. 

He stuffed his shiny face into the star, trying to sleep as he normally would, but he couldn’t help thinking about how cold it was and how lonely he was. 

Lynx looked up and covered his eyes in the darkness because of how scary it was. He cried out for his salamander friends. He didn’t like this game very much. 

None of the salamanders sparkling little bodies came wobbling to him. None of their little pointy heads poked out from the star juice puddles or the thick bushes of sea kelp. 

Lynx was very, very alone. 

He shoved his face back into the ground and cried. His tears were brighter than the star had ever been, and soon Lynx was laying in a bright clear puddle of his tears. When he opened his eyes, he saw what he had done. 

He tucked his face into the pool of tears, tossed his body around in it, and felt warm and safe finally. Lynx shut his eyes and fell asleep.

His dreams were haunted by the vanished salamanders, and he tossed and turned all day long.  

When night came, the star glowed as usual, but still no salamanders. Lynx decided it was time for him to look for his salamander friends. 

He bottled up some of star juice and started exploring the star. He knew of one place they could be: The Hole. 

It was a deep dip in the star’s surface that all salamanders were afraid of and tried avoiding. Lynx knew that some salamanders had been stuck in The Hole before, tempted by the luscious and extra bright star juice there, they had fallen in and drowned. That’s why Lynx had to get there fast. 

He galloped across the star, his tiny feet thumping, his little legs pumping. He kept running and running and running, endlessly, tirelessly, little puffs of twinkling air escaping his mouth as he ran. 

Then he came to a sudden halt. 

He had reached The Hole. 

Lynx approached the edge of The Hole and looked down. There, at the bottom, was a huge pool of very brilliant star juice, and there, on the edges of it, were all the salamanders, trying their best to hold on to the walls of The Hole and not fall in and drown. 

Lynx let out a little gasp. He dove head first into the star juice pool, hitting it with a small splash. He knew how to swim, and peddled his way to the salamanders. He gathered them, letting them sit on his back and head as he swam around and piled them all onto himself. 

Finally, after finding them all, Lynx grabbed his little bundle of tied together star kelp and threw it up towards the top of the The Hole, around one of the jagged edges. He pulled himself and the salamanders out of the water and up the side of The Hole. 

They were all so heavy. Little droplets of glowing sweat dripped down Lynx’s forehead and down his back. When he reached closer to the edge, some of the salamanders risked a jump towards the edge, and made it! They crawled away from the edge and waited for Lynx and the rest of the salamander friends. 

Finally, after so much work and so many beads of sweat, Lynx reached the top. 

The salamanders were saved. 

Lynx was not alone anymore. 

They celebrated by making a star-berry pie and drinking star juice all night long, and they never ever went anywhere near The Hole again. 

and here’s Lynx

and also, Lynx does have top surgery scars. he’s trans and identifies as a boycreature. he uses it/its and he/him pronouns, with a preference for he/him. :)

i wanna build a massive, glorious, almighty blanket fort with my partner. with snacks and sodas and candies inside. with twinkle lights and lamps that make fun shadows. with tons of pillows, and tons of room, so we can lay down cozily without having any awkward angles. and then stay up all night in the fort, watching little funny videos, researching about gender identity labels, and otherkin stuff, and anything else we get curious about. and then when we get eepy at 6 in the morning finally, we curl up in little balls with our heads touching, and we sleep all day long.

BUT NO

we are LONG DISTANCE

which means NO blanket forts

NO curling up in balls together

NO snacks and sodas and candies

NO twinkle lights and a gazillion pillows

which is unfair and entirely wrong and i refuse 😤

…

now, i wish farewell, i am going to learn how to teleport now. bye bye 👹
