Hey guys I'm in a bit of a situation. The radiator on my car crapped out and I need the extra cash to keep myself financially stable. Please consider commissioning me or buying an adoptable that's in the thread linked in ⁠this post. Make sure to spread the threat around if you're on Twitter as well. Thank you so much for the support.

I do think it's pretty funny that fanfic premises based on illegitimate kids as an excuse for crossovers over the years have gone from "Mom character CHEATED on Dad character 😡" to "once upon a time, mommy and daddy had a threesome and now we have YOU!" lmaoooo. People don't want marital discord they just want a third parent

cnetizens have started making mini looms for their children to weave because of the school's craft classes

The concepts of NSFW is being cleared of the Internet under the false pretense of children’s safety when it’s really about the people in power sanitising for advertisers and pushing evangelical narratives AND that not enough is done to keep legitimately harmful content off of spaces that minors have access to are ideas that can coexist

Idk if making art memes is considered lame now but idc, I rarely find ones I want to do so I made my own lol. I'll be reblogging it to my own art blogs for requests, but feel free to save & use if you wanna!

Here's my Giratina gijinka, Griseous. His cloak can change into either a pair of wings or a set of tendrils. He can also grow a second pair of arms if he wishes.

Something that literally changed my life was working with a friend on a coding thing. He was helping me create an auto rig script and was trying to explain something to me but his words were just turning into static in my brain. I was tired and confused and there was so many new concepts happening.

I could feel myself working toward a crying meltdown and was getting preemptively ashamed of what was about to happen when he said, “Hey, are you someone who benefits from breaks?”

It broke me.

Did I benefit from breaks? I didn’t know. I’d never taken them.

When a problem frustrated or upset me I just gritted my teeth and plowed through the emotional distress because eventually if you batter and flail at something long enough you figure it out. So what if you get bruised on the way.

I viscerally remembered in that moment being forced to sit at the table late into the night with my dad screaming at me, trying to understand math. I remembered taking that with me into adulthood and having breakdowns every week trying to understand coding. I could have taken a break? Would it help? I didn’t know! I’d never taken one!

“Yes,” I told him. We paused our call. I ate lunch. I focused on other stuff for half an hour. I came back in a significantly better state of mind, and the thing he’d been trying to explain had been gently cooking in the back of my head and seemed easier to understand.

Now when I find myself gritting my teeth at problems I can hear his gentle voice asking if I benefit from breaks. Yes, dear god, yes why did I never get taught breaks? Why was the only way I knew to keep suffering until something worked?

I was relating to this same friend recently my roadtrip to the redwoods with my wife. “We stopped every hour or so to get out and stretch our legs and switch drivers. It was really nice. When I was a kid we’d just drive twelve hours straight and not stop for anything, just gas. We’d eat in the car and power through.”

He gave a wry smile, immediately connecting the mindset of my parents on a road trip to what they’d instilled in me about brute forcing through discomfort. “Do you benefit from breaks?” he echoed, drawing my attention to it, making me smile with the same sad acknowledgement.

Take breaks. You’re allowed. You don’t have to slam into problems over and over and over, let yourself rest. It will get easier. Take. Breaks.

Freshman advice

It's been a few years since I was a freshman but here's tips anyway and as always feel free to add or send a message and I'll add on

-it is ok to skip class if you need to, I promise no one will care as long as it isn't regular

-don't overwork yourself. I know you feel like you need to take 18 credits and do honors and be in 3 clubs and work full time but no. Either you'll crash and burn and drop out or crash and burn and learn

-do the assignment when you get it if you can. You will forget otherwise

-no one cares what you wear. This isn't high school

-you can eat and drink in most classes. This isn't high school

-set your schedule as your lockscreen until you get it memorized

-don't take the 8 am class

-just dont

-you will end up skipping regularly

-if you fail a class it is ok buddy it's going to happen

-try not to overload your schedule, you gotta ease into college life because it IS very different from high school

-you will need a laptop, tablet, or something similar, way to many classes require online stuff that you won't be able to do on your phone

-bring snacks, water bottle, and some ibuprofen or Tylenol even if you live on campus

-don't wear heels. If it's career fair day bring them in your bag

-make friends!!! In every class!! Or at least have one phone number of a student in each class - will definitely come in handy when you miss or need help

-if planners work for you buy a 5 year one or a pocket one and put EVERYTHING IN IT WHEN U GET IT: assignments, tests, doctor appointments, bill due dates, etc. Color coding helps

-make notes colorful, you will remember more even if it's just doodling in the edges with colored pencil

Might do a second part later

im not particularly religious but i think it’s very cute that Trans Day of Visibility and Easter are on the same day this year :)

its no question that something like this could be triggering or upsetting to a number of queer ppl given the current sociopolitical climate, so i want everyone to remember that u are loved! Regardless of what u or others believe, there are ppl who will love and support you always. Give yourself patience and treat yourself with care!!!

happy and peaceful TDOV everyone!! And Easter to those who celebrate :D

man I wish people understood how much it sucks ass to be neurodivergent and trying to find the middle ground where people like/tolerate you. like, I'm either "boring" (trying to wait my turn in conversations, holding space for other people, taking a back seat to let others get some spotlight) or "too much" (too loud/talking too much, getting excited to share, trying to participate in group conversations/activities). No one really talks about how much of being neurodivergent is just sort of trying to make yourself palatable.

I feel like so much of my life has been spent trying to find this effortless sort of middle ground everyone else seems to automatically already know, and I'm always swinging too far one way or the other. I'm lucky to have neurodivergent friends who grok me, but goddamn I wish that I could just like, exist without the constant background script in my brain that's like "you're being too loud. You're not talking enough. you're being self-centered. you're being boring. you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong." I feel like I'm back in high school trying to make friends but stuck as the eternal "weird kid"

it's just... lonely and sucks bad.
