Genuinely, doing things "half-assed" or for a short period of time is generally better than never having done it in the first place.

Writing one sentence is better than none. A minute of brushing your teeth is better than zero minutes. Answering two questions for a homework assignment is better than answering none.

The overwhelming mountain of things can be done peacemeal. You do not have to do it all at once. It is okay to take life in whatever amount you can. The point is to allow yourself the grace to be.

Hey sorry someone was stupid about “scrolling endlessly” on your comics they were probably like a literal child who is used to being the center of the universe. (You do not have to answer this publicly btw unless you want to).

I’m in love with all your comics. I love twisted fairytales and I love wlw representation. My favorite comic so far is the dragon and the vampire, but Ive read them all. 💕 I can’t fix anything for you just wanted to say I saw your post and I’m a huge huge fan and I love that you purposefully use face shapes and nose shapes and eye shapes and body shapes that make people feel seen ❤️

This made me feel a lot better, thank you!

honestly when i tried to figure out why some fans are so mad at ivypool these days i was looking through avos and. the scene where ivypool apologises to twigpaw for not supporting sending a patrol for skyclan is genuinely very sweet??

i actually saw someone characterize this as "ivypool forcing twigpaw to forgive her". is it crack you smoke. is that what you smoke. you smoke crack?

You know what sucks? Starting out liking a character but then seeing so many terrible takes about them and watching them be used to bash on your favorite character both by fans an the narrative until you not only no longer enjoy that character but you have trouble interacting with people who talk about them positively because it's almost always paired with bashing your fave and watering them down or demonizing them in favor of making that character into the greatest thing that ever happened

sometimes people who struggle like to make jokes or find positives about their condition that causes them to struggle so they can escape the constant negative and struggle. sometimes autistic people will say things like "the 'tism" or use the "autism creature" or say their autism helped them have a *positive trait* to feel better about their struggles. because living your life only focusing on the struggles and negatives is depressing and makes it hard to want to live, even if those struggle take up 100% of your life and you can't actually escape them. sometimes any little seemingly positive thing can help a lot.

but there's so many other autistic people that hate when we do that and call it "reducing autism to a cute trendy thing" and say it takes away from *their* struggles and is bad and shouldn't be used. maybe *you* want to only focus on your struggles, but some people can't live in constant negative and need some positive or to find ways to make their condition more positive so they can feel better about living with their struggles. life is hard. I take anything I can get.

I cant get jobs. I can't make and keep friends. I can't get help and support for doing "normal" things so sometimes I go weeks without being able to shower and without eating more than a bowl of cereal a day. most times can't even do things I like. struggle to communicate. have meltdowns. i'll never be able to live independently. I struggle a lot. but instead of sitting here always depressed and having no motivation to live, i'd rather try to joke about "my 'tism is acting up again" when i'm struggling (just an example. don't think I ever actually used the 'tism thing but i saw others use it) or say "i'm just being a creature" when I need to stay in my dark room because everything is too much and I personally find it cute to be a little creature meant in a positive way. i'm not actually downplaying mine or anyone else's struggles. I still acknowledge them and that silly jokes dont make them go away. i'm not trying to be trendy. i'm not doing any of the things people say we do by making silly little jokes. i'm using the silly little jokes to convince myself life can be a little more than pointless, painful garbage all the time.

the delicate timing of going to an artist’s show when they’re $15 weekday shows at venues with a 200 person max occupancy and then tearfully congratulating them and waving goodbye as their $70 tickets sell out to a crowd of 2000 people. your success is deserved. I Am Not Seeing You Again

[mblue-art]

Oh please continue drawing a the soft cute and fluster. Its too good and brings joy. You are so good at the soft expressions I know I cant get enough and I know a few others that cant either.

This week starting on Monday July 15th, I'm doing an impromptu Munk week

I had a whole bunch of frustration this week with trying to draw a different character so I decided to deal with that by focusing on just Munk for a bit XD

I plan on drawing a few versions of him (def 98, Warsaw and Santiago, maybe Tecklen or some other too) and will probably do some other posts cuz why not, I got a bunch of thoughts and photos saved

So yeah if anyone wants to join me feel free to do so using #impromptu munk week, if not then oh well it's gonna be a solo thing XD

Okay I’ll try to take something positive out of the Collector’s fate cause this fandom is already getting too bitter.

I like that there’s opportunities to make the Collector discover new planets and find new people to meet. Just like in The Little Prince (which people compare to the Collector a lot), he travels from planet to planet to see what’s up. I think that’d be pretty neat!

Although we aren’t shown it, it’s kinda obvious that the Collector stops by the isles sometimes and keeps in touch with King (weird that the episode chose this point to let go of our hands and trust in our interpretative capacities while holding our hands during the entirety of the Collector’s character analysis but okay).

The Collector has friends on the isles that he can trust. Even though he doesn’t live with them, he can stop by at anytime without being pushed away and he earned their trust. They aren’t afraid of him anymore!

Collector and King are friends!! We have canon confirmation and King says he hopes they’ll see each other again, which is adorable.

He won’t be completely alone in the sky. He’ll always have François to keep him company and remind him of the friend he made back on the Boiling Isles, whom he can talk for days and days and tell stories of his adventures!

This last one is mostly headcanon but Amity and the Collector are shown interacting in the background a few times, so I’d assume she’d show concern and tenderness for him and always want to know if he’s doing okay.

And… this is it! I may not enjoy the ending as much as I wanted to, but it’s not a terrible indigestible ending. There’s a lot of positive points about it and, even though we wish it was different, we got a pretty good ending out of it (and as someone who was TERRIFIED the Collector would die to the Belos goop, I’m glad we even got to keep him alive!)
