Dear mother,

I love you, but sometimes i wish you would just let me fucking explain what I'm trying to say.

Sincerely,

The child you wish told you everything but doesnt because the child has seen through your actions that you cant be told everything.

[kindnessoverperfection]

I've found that, when interacting with others (or myself), it's useful to consider the lessons I'd want to teach a growing child.

If a child makes a mistake, I wouldn't want them to feel shame. I wouldn't yell at them, humiliate them, or in any way indicate to them that their mistake is a reflection of their worth or of who they are as a person.

Instead, I'd want them to associate the process with love and joy. If they say something that hurts someone's feelings, or otherwise ostracizes someone in some way, I'd compassionately explain to them. Ideally, they'd walk away knowing why they said / did it in the first place, how to handle similar situations in the future, and would accept the consequences (e.g. if a friend no longer wanted to hang out with them).

While the consequences may sometimes be painful, I'd do my best to instill in them that mistakes are human and natural, and that the process of learning from these mistakes is an opportunity to improve connections with others and express love.

I have a tendency towards excessive guilt. Memories in which I've said / done something ignorant or hurtful are infused with this guilt and shame- but ideally, I'd feel a sense of love and peace, and perhaps happiness, when looking back on them. Because they were moments of growth, moments I learned how to be more compassionate (even if the actual learning came years later).

So I'll put this out into the void:

When you make a mistake, that is not a reflection of you as a person. It is a moment in time, a moment which was informed by your past experiences. Humans are not static labels, or monsters in an RPG game. We are social creatures who live and learn and react and grow and experience and love. Be gentle with yourself and move forward knowing you're doing so in accordance with your values.

Fun fact: this is what Sun’s art tends to look like in “don’t spare your gaze” 👀

the funny thing about actually getting to write aster is that like... even with ukagaka dialogue I still lean into a couple inspirations for each of the characters that aren't dca. maybe I'll ramble a bit about those later?

but ukagaka dialogue doesn't really reflect how aster starts out and ends up in the hypothetical story, I'd say it's a bit of a mid-point. the two bicker and/or rib on each other, but it's lighthearted and/or no harm really done. then there's aldebaran who has almost No spoken dialogue published yet

obviously I'm not gonna immediately start off writing the entire story I would like to make. I'm not much of an experienced writer and I would like to do the idea some justice. maybe I'll do more of those slice of life short stories that don't necessarily connect to the bigger plot, figure out some world building along the way

I'd say the ukagaka has been a good exercise in just setting up the character. I'm sure it's not Great, but it's certainly an introduction, and people I've shared the WIP ukagaka pack with have been saying kind words about it <:)

Also in the replies of the Steph concept art on twitter announcing she was gonna be in a new project at DC (posted by Travis Mercer), there were at least 3 comments saying "will Tim be there?" I don't care how hard you ship timsteph I'm exploding you with my eyeballs if you do that on my girls post again

I am so glad I decided to avoid manhwa/manhua after getting back into reading manga online last year. There is literally way too fucking many and I get massive FOMO so it makes it so incredibly overwhelming.

I already have dozens of tabs open of manga to get to, I cant have another several dozen shojosei isekai rebirth revenge and k-drama romances

“Edward IV was never the sole, undoubted representative of the kingship before I47I. The crowned, anointed and, most important, de facto king of nearly forty years standing, was still alive, never abdicated and was never deposed; he was free until I465 and safe thereafter so long as his heir was beyond Edward's reach ... Barnet, Tewkesbury and the prompt murder of Henry VI, the moment it was safe to do so, alone changed all this and secured Edward's de facto kingship at last. The 'first reign' was in fact the road to the throne.”
