Dude DUDE I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ur writing. U have a way of just weaving everything into this beautiful tapestry of a story. I'm in absolute awe. I really like ur YPRG Au!! Anything related to it I inhale. It's so cool and interesting the way every character interacts with each other and the world. And I'm so so soft for both sets of bros🥺. Would it be ok if u did 🌱 and ☁️ for them? Only if u want to of course no pressure!!
First off, THANK YOU! This was an awesome message to wake up to! This is going to sound absolutely corny, but I love hearing from people about my stories. Because there are some times where I really don’t feel confident in what I’ve written. It’s nice to hear/read that I’m somewhat competent. Again, thank you for the kind words!
I too am also soft for the bros. XD
With that said, I’d be happy to answer your emoji asks! (Original Post)
🌱 SEEDLING - what is their most vivid memory from childhood?
Wario - When Waluigi was born, though he’ll never ever admit it. He swears if he was even remotely artistically competent, he’d be able to paint a picture of what the room looked like, where their parents were, and how it looked when he got to hold Waluigi for the first time. It’s so well stamped into his mind that he recalls it on days he’s really stressed out. As a reminder for why he keeps working so hard.
Waluigi - The first ‘invention’ he and Wario made. He barely spoke at the time as Wario knew what Waluigi needed, so he never had to ask for anything. But working on making a prototype for their ‘Chores Robot’ (so the worry of keeping the house clean wasn’t such a burden), it was the first time that Waluigi took over. Telling Wario what he needed and what part needed to go where. Even if it didn’t work (seriously, why the heck did they think sticks and rocks would be good materials?) Waluigi was still thrilled by the idea of building. 
Mario - It was a conversation between him and his father. Learning about how sick Luigi was and how scary it could be. But also talking about what they could do, together, to keep the younger twin safe. It was the first promise Mario made to anyone. A promise to his parents, said to his father, that he would keep Luigi safe and well, no matter what. Because he loves Luigi, and he wouldn’t let anything keep them apart if he could help it.
Luigi - When he was able to go outside for the first time. While the twins were a little older at this point, Luigi’s early early memories consisted of white walls and doctors. This was the first solid memory he had. He remembered it was nearing the end of Spring, if not already in Summer, when he saw something outside the window that he really wanted to see. He was well enough to leave the house, but still fearful, until Mario agreed to take him outside. While he could only reach the edge of the patio, he was still able to get a better look at the flowers that interested him. Mario told him they were looking at roses. Those are his favorite flower to this day.
☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon
Wario - He loves to hear Waluigi snoring. It lets him know that his brother’s still there. He wouldn’t listen to it on end, but it’s a comforting reminder.
Waluigi - He started to learn how to cook so it was one less burden Wario and his mother had to deal with. But he says it's because no one in the family besides himself knows what spices work together.
Mario - He’s very shy about it, but he loves to sing. Mainly to Luigi with a lullaby from their childhood, on days when they're feeling nostalgic and missing their parents. But…if asked…he wouldn’t say ‘no’ if Peach asked to hear him. 
Luigi - He took up baking as a way to stay close to their mom, as well as to learn how to embrace every second given to him. Because nothing lets you think about life like waiting for cake to rise.

!! I do use ibis paint !! I love it it's very easy to use :3 I can draw with my finger but I prefer the pen so aside silly doodles, I'm waiting til my delivery with my new pen comes in :3
When I finish art of him I'll share it with you if you want !! Can't say when It'll be because my package hasn't even shipped yet😖
I'm working on LOTR ocs now, they're all pretty old and in need of updates since I've changed so much since I created them !!
The one I'm updating rn is my very first LOTR oc !! Originally they were a fem elf , in love with Legolas... Tbh a very basic oc for LOTR I made when I was like 13
But !!! I'm making him ftm and instead of Legolas, they eventually date Haldir :3
He was an elvish archer alongside Haldir but one time on patrol he ends up encountering something strange and gets possessed😧 he didn't wanna go back in fear of Haldir finding him disgusting or assuming he's a monster and trying to kill him, so he lingers in the forest, close enough to still keep an eye on the people of Lothlorien (and his beloved Haldir)
I don't have much more worked out but I did make him in a picrew
https://cdn.picrew.me/shareImg/org/202401/1885456_g2CjIgXO.png
also most old people are very rude, I think they have the "respect your elders" mindset that they think they an be assholes to everyone younger than them and we just gotta respect them??? Like shouldn't you be in a grave by now why are you still being hateful??
-🌱
My goodness I sent a whole reply and then the app crashed 😭 but if you feel comfortable please share if you want to and when you can I’d love to see it!
Y’all have such creative backstories to all these ocs I know a lot of them are inspired by the specific show or video game they exist in but I’m still so very impressed with how y’all take an existing idea and transform it into something better!
Also his background story sounds so sad but so lovely! Imagine having a whole future planned with the one you loved now you’re only allowed to watch them live that life without you😭
Also you’d think spending sm time on earth would make you a more understanding individual but every old person just turns bitter and cruel

Healed girl Summer || Challenge 🌱🪴🌺✨
Tumblr media
I wanted to dedicate my summer to further benefitting myself, improving myself and healing past traumas/bad self concept that never had a place in my life. I want to create a challenge for others who want to do the same for themselves in the last two months of summer and truly become the best version of themselves without validation being a factor
🌱 。.。:∞♡*🌱。.。:∞♡*🌱
Anyway here are the rules of the challenge!
1- Create a vision board/ Pinterest board of you goals you want to achieve this summer. Or a 5 subliminal playlist! (don’t overwhelm yourself pls)
🌱 。.。:∞♡*🌱。.。:∞♡*🌱
2-✿silence all forms of social media (yes this means Tumblr too. Stop snapping that boy you keeps streaks with bc you think he’s cute it’s not going any further than that!) block twitter from your phone, disable your Instagram for a week, just take some time off to truly reset even if it’s for one day.
3-✿treat your body like a temple :
-try to eat healthier, cut out excess sugar, overly starchy foods at incorporate more vegetables and fruits into your daily diet. Ofc you can still treat yourself to snacks and sweets every once in a while but it’s all about moderation! Drink more water, I recommend ‘Plant Nanny’ a really cute hydration tracking app to keep track of your daily water intake! How can you do expect to get glass skin subliminal results without behaving like a girly with clear skin? If possible, go to the gym twice a week! If not then walk every other day, 10,000 steps a day is commonly advised but do what fits best for you!!
SLEEP ON TIME!! I cannot stress this enough, sleeping is essential for repairing the cells in your skin, revitalizes your skin, reduces stress and improves your mood and so many more benefits!
🌱 。.。:∞♡*🌱。.。:∞♡*🌱
4-✿ Keep your space clean/clear!!
I’ve seen a saying that said “a persons mind is only as clear as the space they surround themselves in” or something like that, so I’d like to think that having a dirty space reflects on your mental space as well, so I’d prefer to keep that clean to maximize the “healing” journey as much as possible by building good habits
I know not everyone can do this so there’s no immediate emphasis on this rule,
5- ✿ building some good habits!🌱💗
*journaling
*self reflection meditations
-Wim HOF breathing
-Reading atleast once a week
-doing one hobby/thing you enjoy a week (like guitar, painting,swimming, singing..any hobby! Things that bring your vibrations up!)
*these two are the most important considering the whole challenge is based on healing your mindset and elevating yourself to be the it girl yk you are!
To start off, try
shadow work prompts
shadow work prompts
Wim HOF breathing methods
Meditations
Meditations
Gratitude Meditations
Gratitude Meditations
Gratitude prompts
🌱 。.。:∞♡*🌱。.。:∞♡*🌱
6-✿ Affirmations! The fun part
Pick 5-10 affirmations to repeat every morning right after waking up and right before bed at night. Make sure these affirmations have to do with bettering yourself rather than attracting an SP or your crush, this challenge is about you and purely you!
Here are some self concept/essential affirmations:
“I only treat myself with the utmost compassion, kindness, and love”
“I fall more in love with who I am each day”
“I love what I see when I look in the mirror.”
“I am a gorgeous person, inside and out. I do not need validation from others.”
“I give myself permission to heal.”
“I release the past and trust that everything is happening for my greatest good.”
“I choose to forgive because it feels better to love.”
“I trust that everything in my life is unfolding perfectly”
“everything always works out in my favor”
“You are worthy, you are valued”
“I no longer allow people to overstep my boundaries “
“I value myself”
“I am the prize”
affirmations
-I recommend @meraskiii ‘s affirmations and advice if you need more specific affirmations
-I also recommend thewizardliz and her videos about overall healing, being a queen, self improvement and manifestation! I love her content and I hope you will too 💗
Lastly, have fun! This whole challenge is about healing yourself and getting past your past mistakes and ego! It’s not going to happen overnight but you’ll never know until you try!

🌿 Some song quotes I adore:
trigger warnings for suicide references
“Keep your time, keep your mind, stay humble — start your life in the middle of the jungle.” - Young Blood, Noah Kahan ☀️🪿
“And I go by many names also — some people know me as hope. Some people know me as the voice that you hear when you loosen the noose on the rope.” - Hi Ren, Ren 🐝🌿
“Beauty, Beauty is found in time and space — I’ve lost my mind but I’ve refound my faith — A faith in this life to breathe again — I guess there is hope to be found in the end.” - Fire, Ren 🐿️🌷
“And she dreams purple and anger and roses exploding in circles around her — grow louder — and nobody’s noticed the gun at her temple. Hey Scarlet, you don’t need to be lonely tonight - tonight.” - Purple, Wunderhorse 🌱🦇
“Heaven-sent is the way you say you’re proud of me, I’m unconditionally loved.” - Heaven-sent is a coffee cup, Bears in Trees 🧸🌲
“I never conquered, rarely came, tomorrow holds such better days - days when I can still feel alive— when I can’t wait to get outside, the world is wide - the time goes by, the tour is over - I’ve survived. I can’t wait ‘til I get home to pass the time in my room alone.” - Adam’s song, blink-182 🪻🍃
“There’s a million little reasons for why I like your smile. There’s a million little reasons for why I like your style. If I tried to write them down I’d run out of ink.” - Million Little Reasons, Oscar Lang 🌥️🌼
“Oh my brother, my brother, my brother — who have you become in the wake of all that’s happened here?” - Icarus, The Crane Wives 💫🌷
“The moon will sing a song for me — I loved you like the sun.” - The moon will sing, The Crane Wives ☀️🌱
“Inside the game you’re okay — Longswords and spell casting keeps all the bad away .. and the monsters look how monsters do — not like neighbourhood kids with their hands full of rocks for you — and not like the grownups who should be protecting you.” - Dungeons and Dragons, Jenny Owen Youngs 🍃🌱
“The moral of the story is you’ll reap whatever you sow — so watch your step as you go.” - Another Castle, Jenny Owen Youngs 🌲🐝

you never answered how you were doing!!! i meant that shit! how are you doing!!! (if you're comfortable answering ofc hehe) xx
HAHAHAHA THIS ASK MADE ME SMILE SO BIG GRRR *aggressively hugs you* 💛🫶💛🫂🌱
Pluto love <33 I’m doing … okay … OKAY TW TO ALL YA’LL WHO FOLLOW MEEE // incoming trauma dump: I struggle with depression, anxiety, ocd, cptsd, a highly emotionally + verbally abusive mother, a conflict loaded toxic family who picks on me specifically, isolation and loneliness, etc. And I used to believe I was the problem and that I was god-awful and didn’t deserve to live (lol) until my therapist helped me see that I was a good person in a really … toxic family. I’ve had these disabilities/hardships for years :’( Despite that, I’m still here :)
💚 And I’m still kind— in fact, my hardships and difficult life has made me mega compassionate, thoughtful, & understanding! The wars I’ve been through have made me super soft and caring towards everyone and anyone who is a good person going through a hard time— and I care about hurt people who hurt people, too. I know they can’t help being nasty if they’re so deeply warped and traumatized (Aka my mom). All my friends from high school say that they’re always amazed and my warmth and kindness in spite of all the hurt I’ve been through <3 (but my friends are in different states from me though, because we all go to different colleges… so it’s been soooo so lonely without them)
I am doing my best to get better. I have a really wonderful therapist who helps me :) life isn’t easy. It’s been really uneasy and dreary and sad actually 😭 but it’s up to me to make it better, and I’m going to be okay some day. <3 I’ve also made a friend irl who seems to truly care about me, I’m still getting to know them & vice versaaa. But they’re leaving my state at the end of the month too so 😭
For anyone who read allathat, please don’t be afraid to talk to me! I don’t often talk about trauma here. I love discussing anime/characters/cool things in life :) <3 thank you for being here 🥹❤️‍🩹🫶💚🫂🫂
Tagging my friends that I met on tumblr @raenacreates and @kapeeshkapoosh cause I feel like this is something I’d wanna share with them <3 and something they’d be open to hearing <333

Mother Nature? That's my girl! 🌱💗 (U1)
Hey everyone! so having started this nature blog and all, I thought I’d introduce you to a good friend of mine but I’m realizing you might actually already know her? You see, Mother Nature’s friends with pretty much everyone but it’s easy to forget you’re not her only one, cause she often has a way of showing you things that feel like they were created just for you.
Tumblr media
For as long as I can remember, my relationship with nature has been my prized possession. Having spent each summer as a child on the beaches of Lake Erie swimming, adding to my shell or rock collections, and often rescuing baby birds and other critters who fell victim to the changing seasons, I always felt like being outside was simply put; fulfilling.
As I grew older, I found myself spending more and more time deliberately looking to nature for entertainment, distractions, and peace- whether it was for a forest walk to look for fauna when I’d be feeling down, or randomly researching new animals or plants I’d previously heard of when I would get bored, nature always had a place for me, my emotions, and interests. Around the transition from elementary school to high school (and likely a consequence of hearing about the horrors of climate change for the first time), I decided I wanted to protect nature. Not yet knowing in what way, but for the first time understanding not everyone shares my sentiment of holding nature in the highest regard.
Tumblr media
Now bare with me cause this is one silly story but spoiler! I’m in fourth year zoology and I’ll tell you what, or better yet who, helped me get here. On an anthropology trip to a zoo in 10th grade, I had an assignment involving watching a primate and so I walked into the Gorilla enclosure (because who doesn’t want to be even remotely like Jane Goodall?). Oddly enough there was no one else in there. After almost leaving before making eye contact with a lone gorilla in the enclosure, I went up to the glass and smiled, hoping to somehow translate my appreciation for the opportunity to see him. I’m honestly not sure what I expected but his response? Walking right up to the glass and taking a seat 2 feet away from me, staring at me with what I could only describe as sad eyes. At that point another classmate came in, jokingly saying “oh cool, he’s watching you too” and in that moment which I really didn’t see coming, I just started bawling my eyes out.  Funny enough the gorilla walked away as if he did his job in sharing the sadness, but I think in that moment I just felt so sorry for the ape. We'd spent so much time in other classes learning about deforestation, global warming, etc. etc. and so it was sort of like one of those movie flashback scenes except it was like the life I thought that gorilla should have had. To this day, I still interpret that hour as my eureka moment, where I was told by an intense-eyed gorilla that animal conservation is what I’m meant to do.
Since then, I’ve had the dream of opening an animal sanctuary. To help me one day get there, I've worked at exotic animal outreach programs, was a zookeeper, participated in local conservation efforts in both Toronto and Guelph, and have even been to Madagascar this past summer to practice lemur conservation research. (I also have a ton of lovely pets to share with you but that's for another time!) At this point, it really feels like the passion could only ever grow. It’s my hope that with this blog though, I’ll be broadening my definition of nature to not just immediately go to animals so stay tuned! And go …
