#this has happened so many times

[isthataraccoon]

do you ever get the perfect idea for an edit and like you know the exact music transitions words and type of photos you would use and you can picture it in your mind but you’ve never actually touched editing software in your entire life and you have absolutely no talent or motivation to make it so you just have to hope someone else does or it magically appears

Teased in the intro but cut from the episode 😭

Revisited a story that was very important to me as a child, and learned about the author being very vocal about the harm gender roles & stereotypes cause. I thought "oh that's great!" but was afraid. What if she only applied that logic to cis ppl?

I did some searching, and found out that not only does she support trans ppl, but has also spoken multiple times about how important it is to be able to see protagonists outside of the perceived norm. A.K.A., she doesn't see my very existence as wrong.

I let out a deep sigh of relief. I could continue to enjoy this thing that had been so important to me growing up.

But this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Too often I discover a new artist, or even be unsure of one I've enjoyed the work of for a long time up to the present; and I have to desperately search to know if I can enjoy their work. Either I am extremely relieved, or absolutely crushed.

This shouldn't be necessary. I shouldn't be feeling this deep fear that something so important to me, was created by someone who despises my very existence. That I, as a disabled queer femme ex-mormon Pagan witch who was raised like a girl, will be shoved off the emotional cliff of "this person you looked up to hates you for the same reason all bigots do".

I was so terrified that something that meant so much to me as a kid could've shattered me emotionally. Simply because I didn't know if the person who made it hates people like me.

We shouldn't have to live like this.

I feel like this whenever Im watching a stream and someone on it mentions one of my interests

Whenever something suspicious is going on in one of our accounts, I can’t tell if I got hacked or it was just another alter doing something

[connecticut-turnpike]

i say “i’m finally coming out of art block!” when in reality i got a short burst of motivation fueled by my hyperfixation that will disappear once i lose interest in it

[ann1e-on-earth]

I hate it when people who are like, 90 say

“You’re too young to be sad”

STFU, YOU’RE TOO OLD TO EVEN BE ALIVE BY NOW

Parents, never lie to your kid with food intolerances.

Me: Did you put garlic in it?

Parent: Nope.

Me: (spends a whole afternoon with a stomach ache, bloated and miserable) I don't feel good. There was something in the food.

Parent: It wasn't the food.

BTW, the same goes if your kid is vegan or doesn't eat something for whatever reason.
