Reblog if you’re over 20 and still read/write fan fiction.

I’m curious!

You’re tired. Burnt out. Exhausted. Stressed.

This lowers your capacity for emotional regulation.

You’ll cry more easily. Get dragged into low moods more easily. Simple little things where you’re like ‘dang, that shouldn’t hit so hard,’ will wallop you.

This will trick you into thinking you’re weak and can’t handle life. A loser.

Not so my friend.

It’s a signal that you need a nap, need to allow for more sleep at night, need to prioritize and scale back on what you can accomplish in a day, need to take a mental health day or even a leave.

Something’s got to give.

But!

It’s not your self worth.

Medusa

A while ago a friend of mine asked me to write a story about a blind girl falling in love with Medusa. Even though I'm a few centuries late, I think I'm gonna give it a try.

Izzy’s eyes aren’t hazel?

They do sometimes look hazel in darker lighting, but when properly lit you can see that they’re actually a juicy avocado green (nom nom nom).

I think they have some brown specks tho as many green eyes do!

Some visualisation material:

And then we also have this beautifully written description by someone who actually got to see his eyes (and so much more, oh, the envy!) up close, which is, of course, the manicurist girl:

Off topic but I also love this description of him that she gives:

Too bad she didn’t give such a detailed description of everything she saw that day ahaha, but damn, the smooth skin and god-like body have me dreaming!

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore deity depictions made by artists online. However, it sometimes gets unsettling when deities whose aspects are centered around entirely nonviolent concepts are drawn as hyperviolent, warrior-type of characters. This is especially common in depictions of Norse deities. I can understand why this tendency would be, considering some of these depictions are made for promoting video games, and such. It’s plenty more surprising, however, when such drawings can be traced back to pagan sources. Now, this highlights a larger, more concerning issue: the general perception of Norse deities by pagan informational websites. It gets easy to distinguish between the pagan sources I want to look into and those I want to avoid, based on the general image of some deities that they choose to present. I know I’ve talked about this in the past, but if you spread information on Norse deities but depict them all as “warrior Gods”—by only relying on hyperviolent representations even in the case of more “peace-oriented” deities for example, it shows you don’t care to go deeper than your surface-level understanding of a mythological pantheon that’s filled with diverse figures and nuance. And it’s especially concerning when this type of perception is spread by websites that advertise themselves as being 100% factual and unbiased. These types of sources generally reduce deities to a fixed list of aspects (“This or that deity is the god of this, period”) and it doesn’t help new pagans at all to explore the pantheon and their own perception of it. (This tendency is especially common on New Age websites, as they also tend to put up lists of unmovable correspondences while reducing the importance of UPG and personal belief in deity associations.) It doesn’t spark skepticism, reflection or curiosity. Let me illustrate: if someone who’s questioning their spiritual path and considering becoming pagan sees a super intimidating and ferocious depiction of Óðinn, accompanied by the caption “He is the god of death and war:))” (implied: he is the god of mostly that), they will likely not consider right away other important aspects of Óðinn as a deity, such as his association with wisdom, poetry, the afterlife and other, vastly more nuanced elements of his myth. Websites who present hyperviolent depictions of pretty much all Norse deities, even in the case of Frø or Njörðr, more often than not have some sort of ties with the far right or even sometimes with white supremacy. At the top of my head, I could even name at least two folkish pagan websites I stumbled upon simply because I was baffled by the images they put up online and sought to see who’d commission such pictures. These sorts of website also tend to reduce deities to a handful of personality traits and this can lead new pagans to view them as entirely two-dimensional. It’s a dead giveaway for sources to avoid, in my opinion. If you are a new pagan who seeks to better understand a deity’s areas of influence and general personality, I would advise you to double-check sources, to keep researching and researching until you’ve consciously made your own opinion of them. Don’t right away believe the very first source you stumble upon. This is all a personal thought I’m trying to express as clearly as possible, and if any of you guys have anything to add, don’t hesitate to share your own thoughts and experiences! I would be delighted to hear about them.

Clawing Back To Life

Hello, tumblr, how have you been? 

It's been a while since I had to step away - so many personal problems and such, had to take care of my health, of my family, etc., it isn't worth it to mention every problem in detail. Thing is, I've been freelancing for a while now, and it's been giving me some free time, plus my imagination regarding fanfics is boiling but it also needs a little push. So all I want from you guys is some ideas! 

Requests are open for any of the fandoms I'll tag down below. If you don't see what you're looking for in the hashtags, DM me and we'll see what I can do for you. The main reason I love to write fanfiction for other people is because I know how frustrating it is to look for the story you want to read and never finding it, so don't be shy and let me know what you want! 

Also, I'm thinking of taking commissions for very personalized stories - not fanfiction though, at least not for now, but mainly original stories you'd like to read, can be horror, romance, you name it, I wanna challenge myself and I'll charge very little for it. Please let me know what you guys think of it. 

Here, have a pic of my pet bunny while you think about your requests:

I spent the last 15 minutes lost in Izzy's eyes in this photo

Just a reminder that this man is said to be a “QUICK SHOOTER”.

And this man is said to be a good lay. He could probably turn your pussy into a fucking fire hydrant 💦 💦 💦

❗AVOID THESE PEDOPHILES AT ALL COSTS! ❗

I was scrolling through Tumblr and came across a post of KNOWN PEDOPHILES ON TUMBLR (many of which have or want to rape actual children/minors)

THERE ARE ACTUAL PEDOPHILES ON TUMBLR TRYING TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MINORS ON TUMBLR

PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST THIS LIST AND KEEP OUR MINORS SAFE

posts about BLM no longer being on peoples dashes is so frustrating cause I feel like if you’re following the right people, especially black artists, creatives, activists, etc. then you wouldn’t be having that issue, I’m certainly not. There’s still so much left to be done and the fight is no where near over. So please consider following more black content creators and activists cause trust me when I say, your dash and your world view will be much better for it.
