seeing lestappen in the same frame together after a three month break really does feel like the first breath after drowning

just an fyi, and it feels like it needs to be said here: your blog is your own space and you should be able to say whatever the fuck you want. if you’re sad? vent. get sad. maybe put it under a cut, definitely tag it, but get sad. if you feel like you need someone to talk to? drop a freaking message about how you’re feeling like you could use a buddy, or anything randomly engaging. if you’re having a hard time, you should feel safe and okay to talk about it in your own space. we’re writers and we’re people and while there’s a lot to be said for how engagement outside of oneself is necessary in rp (and really really needs to improve), i think there’s a lot that must be said about people reaching out to others. it’s become so solitary here — the whole ‘reblog from source’ thing when it comes to shit like about and musings is absurd. the whole refusing to like things is ridiculous. yes, curate your space, that’s important, but curating your space into a studio apartment only you live in doesn’t make this a community anymore, it makes it a studio apartment you live in.
just be yourself here. do whatever you want. but i’m always saying: remember you’re not alone, and don’t let yourself feel that way.

As we all enjoy our clownery on this fine evening, a reminder that it is all fun and games to try to guess what she might do unless it becomes demanding and people get upset when the thing they thought/hoped/wished would happen doesn’t. Expect nothing, and be pleasantly surprised if something happens.

Breaking news: members of the New Jersey Devils hockey team have woken this morning to discover they've grown... horns?! How did these appendages appear? Are they demonic in origin? Why has this mysterious mutation only affected the Devils' active roster? And, most importantly: how will the boys play hockey if they can't wear their helmets? More at six
Fun horn facts!
Jack’s horns are modeled off the pronghorn. I chose it because 1) American, 2) I thought it was cute and 3) the shape of its horns is cool, but then it got infinitely better when I discovered the pronghorn is the fastest land mammal in the western hemisphere. A very appropriate coincidence :D
Nico’s horns are modeled off the alpine ibex, a species of wild goat that lives in the Swiss alps. Nico's are scaled down because I don't think he'd be able to hold up the weight of full-size ibex horns lol. The inspiration here is pretty obvious: hee hoo Swiss man gets Swiss goat horns

All that NOT TO EVEN MENTION that idk what THEY saw but when I go look in the Solarpunk tag the first thing I see is a post going ‘uguuuu the solarpunk tag isnt solarpunk enough for meeeeeee’ and then immediately afterwards the next few posts are
- people talking about community building
- people talking about how to make patches
- people talking about actions they’re taking, like making their own clothes or planning a garden
- people talking about actions other people are doing, like reusing items to make new functional items, and more
- people talking about actions that we all should be doing more often, like growing and sharing food, or advocating for things like image IDs on posts (which like for real we should all start adding image IDs on our posts)
- maybe a handful of aesthetic posts
- people making posts talking about how the movement started off as an aesthetic in response to all the people who keep going into the tag and deriding it for not being ‘punk enough’
This goes for both ‘top posts’ view AND ‘latest’ view btw, different ones, some with fewer notes than others, and different posts in different views obviously but like.
Even the aesthetic posts that DO show up are for the most part either A: art that visualizes a green future for us to strive towards B: ‘here’s my garden! How can you do something similar? Lets talk about it!’ C: literally stuff people are already doing to strive for a better future but with really good image quality so it looks pretty or D: concept art for like. Clean energy solutions or community centers or other solutions that would help build a better future. Maybe thats just A rephrased but screw it.
IDK. Maybe our punk looks different than what people are expecting???? A lot greener and more environmental than what my parents sure think of when they hear ‘punk’ thats for sure. But I don’t think that should make it less-than.
Either that or I simply follow so many solarpunk people who are talking about action and politics and resistance and such that I don’t see as many aesthetic posts as someone new to The Club may see. Cause I genuinely usually have to search for the aesthetic stuff. But even if that is the case, all that means is that you can’t give something a cursory 2.7 second glance and then go ‘why am I not seeing the punk stuff!!!’
