I do not respect the grind. Go to bed

[swagcheesecakemaker]

like there comes a point where you think something is fundamentally wrong with you. and then it turns out it’s just Friday and you haven’t washed your hair in three days and maybe you’re also just a little lonely and the combination of all three of those things is whittling a hole into your chest every time you breathe. but also the sun’s up. and you’ve survived everything so far, so you’ll survive this too, even if it hurts, even if you have to survive it many times.

it's amazing how ordinary objects can become so significant to only the owner

“Look upon yourself and ask the questions, Ask the questions that give you butterflies. Warp and change who you think you are And know these questions are meaningless."

"Nothing is created to be understood. Yet you were created to understand.

Who are you? What do you do? Why do you keep doing it when all things tell you not to? Who hurt you? Who healed you? What pushed you to take that next step?

In asking the question your understanding of yourself changes. You ask. You answer. You know. You grow. You’re different. You ask again. The answer has changed. If you ask, you are the kind of person who would ask. If you don’t ask, you're the kind of person who doesn't ask. You cannot observe the world from within.”

A sense began to develop.

You watched as your body extended indefinitely through time, forward and backward. You are nothing along the spectrum of all of existence. Tiny. Floating through space. A spec on the windshield of a car on a road in a city on a continent on a planet in a solar system in a galaxy in a universe.

You ask the infinitum of space and time who you are. But it does not hear you. You are nothing.

Within you something develops further.

You dive into the world around you, falling and shrinking into the space between molecules and atoms. You descend into worlds far smaller and complex than you could ever imagine. A body with a heart with veins with blood full of cells comprised of proteins composed of molecules built from atoms formed by electrons.

You ask the infintesium of the atom who you are. But it does not hear you. You are nothing.

“Listen to the fire. Listen to how it snaps and crackles. How it moves with the wind. It is distinct yet the same as the air around it. Take a photo. Look at it. It’s different now. Yet it is still fire. It burns. It does so because, by its nature, it is powerful. And when all things tell it that its strength doesn’t matter against the blazing sun it doesn’t stop burning the hands that touch it. When it is abstracted to a chemical reaction, does it stop heating a room?”

You grasp the chains in your hand, and listen. You feel the warmth of the room vanish, coallessing in your burns. You grip the chains harder, as the warmth concentrates into your palms.

The fire grows strong and wild, the flames lick the edge of the fireplace, and the crackles and snaps become pops and bangs.

“I still don’t get it.”

"You will."

The chains snap

nimona the webcomic and nimona the netflix movie are so thematically different and come from such different periods in the artist's (nd stevenson) life and our lives and I love that?? I love the bitterness and angst and how morally gray the graphic novel was, just as much as I love the hopefulness and compassion and how unapologetically trans the netflix film is. watching his work grow as he grew older and I grew older and more secure in my sexuality, is just - so special. it's a rare thing to grow in parallel with the work of an artist you love, especially a queer artist, and I'm so fucking happy this film got made, especially with all its differences to the original work. something something to be loved is to be changed idk lmao.

It’s so sad to me how scared the Twitter and Reddit refugees are of making mistakes on this website.

Dear refugees, as someone who used to be on both Twitter and Reddit but who uses Tumblr the longest of all sites (besides Youtube):

This is the website without cringe culture. Don’t be ashamed. You won’t get downvoted or beat up for even your weirdest opinions because frankly, 90% of the users on this website are either neurodivergent or queer or a mix of both (me, I’m talking about me)

This website is like the table of bullied kids you always used to avoid in highschool.

We all know we’re different, strange, cringy, obsessive.

That’s why this place holds so little judgement.

We aren’t insecure incels. We embrace our differences.

So if you want to talk about your unhealthy life obsession dedicated to a sidecharacter from an unknown animated movie from 1978 that had approximately 2 minutes of screen time - do it.

Heck even dedicate a whole sideblog to them for fucks sake.

This platform is literally what the ancient prophecy has foretold:

We are cringe, but we are free

I think Mikey would be a great Dungeon Master and make all the props for their campaigns

#never thought leo would be the bard #but yeah #it suits him #rottmnt

[swagcheesecakemaker]

Don't think about how Mikey must've painted it.. Don't consider what kind of thoughts must've been swirling in his head through the whole process. Don't think about it. Don't-

It all hit Leo harder than Krang One’s punch.

This was an ofrenda.

An ofrenda for him.

No words on earth could describe the choking feeling he felt in his chest. His throat closed up. Even though he was alone, he was thankful he had his full-face mask on to hide his watering eyes. All he could do was stare in silence for a while. Attempting to take it in, even if just a fraction.

Commission done for @/sugarpasteltmnt on twitter!! This is a scene from her fic The Neon Void, go check it out!!

#this is so beautiful i'm crying i'm throwing up from my feels #so colorful #and bright #and it's a memorial #i'm gonna be sick #rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rise of the tmnt #tmnt

Spicy-brained friends, I would like to propose an update to the very useful ‘if you hate everyone, eat, if everyone hates you, sleep, and if you hate yourself, shower’ mantra to live by

Have you suddenly become a petty, hateful little gremlin who thinks people should face the firing squad for (checks notes) leaving teabags on the counter, breathing loudly, or daring to exist in the same space as you? Perhaps mundane and reasonable requests like ‘hey, we agreed to hang out now, let’s hang out’ make you want to scream and move to a yurt in the woods.

You. Are. Overstimulated.

People talk a lot about being overstimulated, and the physical/mental effects of it. What I haven’t seen is people talking about what it does emotionally, and it took me an embarassingly long time to link up those nitpicky, resentful emotions with the state of overstimulation/meltdown/shutdown.

These feelings do not mean that you’re a bad person! They probably aren’t how you actually feel about the people around you. They probably do mean that your nervous system is at its absolute limit and any request/demand/stimulus is Too Much and taking you into fight or flight territory.

Go lie down in a dark room for an hour, or find somewhere safe and familiar to stim for a bit. If it’s happening a lot, schedule yourself regular low-stimulation shutdown time

Signed: someone who moved in with their nearest and dearest only to have a massive crisis of faith about Suddenly Hating All of Them. I don’t hate them, it’s just overstimulating living with people. If I can spare anyone else a similar 9 months of suspecting that they may actually be a bit of a shit person, then this post is worth it!

Denizens of tumblr, the answers you seek often lay in the tags or the image descriptions…

[swagcheesecakemaker]

Wonderful

Type "I am" in the tags and whatever follows is your gender today...

#i am so excited #i am gay #i am drinking your milkshake
