I never know what to do when my sister sends me older sibling guilt related posts because what do I say. What am I supposed to say? You fucked me up already and there's just nothing you can do to take it back, that's not how it works. How many times do I have to forgive you? I hope the guilt stays with you forever.

think we need to bring back "if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all". because like, as much as that saying gets used by stuffy older relatives to shut up anyone who has an issue with anything they do, and as much as it's healthy to complain sometimes, i personally prefer to always try to find something positive about any given thing, and i've found that i'm happier for it. complaining is fun and all, but the way that people will go out of their way to nitpick every little detail, the way that they'll end up repeating all the same old things day in day out just sucks all the joy out of everything. like okay, we get it, you hate this thing - have you considered shutting up about it any time soon? or maybe instead of harping on about how much you hate it, go, "huh, i don't like this, but it's great that different people find joy in different things". it's not hard. or ask yourself if you do hate it at all, and are not just shitting on it over and over in an attempt to feel something in your pathetic, boring, miserable life.

Something that I would strongly recommend, for anyone that is able. Is that if you're interested in any topics surrounding mental health issues, sexual violence, disability, housing issues, or anything like that is to actually turn to real life examples in your area. Look up news articles, look for real people talking about their experiences. If your area is too small, then expand that search out a bit. But always look at how people are actually impacted in your area.
Something that is often pointed out in the UK during mental health awareness campaigns is that the biggest issue impacting a lot of people isn't necessarily awareness of the existence of mental health struggles, it's accessibility and waiting times for resources. Resources that might just straight up not exist in some areas causing them to be redirected to a service in another area which means bigger waiting times.
Spend some time looking at resources in your area, look up waiting times that someone might experience if they're pursuing a diagnosis or trying to find accommodation. Look at the price tag of accessing some resources. Look to charities from the perspective of being a vulnerable person seeking their support, and see how often a simple bullet point can be the make or break between them being a resource you can use or not.
Even medical professionals I've spoken with on a purely personal level have been shocked by the barriers I've experienced when trying to access resources. And I think more people need to be confronted by these things. I think more people need to be confronted with how a lot of resources are purely theoretical and inaccessible for the person in need of them.

Something I'm working on. First time drawing Antiquarian fanart. Technically second as there was another drawing before this, but it's not as good as this panel. 💜 Tried to refrain from posting until the comic is finished, but she just looks so good!!!
Stay tuned for the final product.

"they're just pixels on a screen" when i see a picture of a cute puppy i do not think "oh cute pixels", i think "oh cute puppy"
those "pixels" are depictions of children being raped, they are depictions of siblings dating, they are depictions of serious fucking crimes portrayed positively.
stay away from kids, if you told someone who has never been in any fandom you liked fanfiction where kids are raped they would want to stay the fuck away from you
Is it really that hard for you to accept that there are people who aren't proshippers for the sake of porn? Because if you can't grasp that from me quite literally telling you last night that I am a sex repulsed ace, you are proving exactly what's wrong with the anti community; the assumption that fans can't consume fictional content for non-sexual reasons and/or believing that proshippers condone what they consume in fiction in real life.
Fiction is fantasy for a reason. So if you ship all of your ships sexually and purely for the sake of reading smut about them or seeing sexy pics of them, that is a you problem, not a me problem.

can't help but think about how cyno and xiao both handle you like you're made of the most fragile glass, so precious and destined to fall apart at their touch

Here I am finishing Heartstopper with all its joy and acceptance and love, meanwhile my Mum talks about needing a new umbrella because she doesn't want to use the rainbow coloured one we have. It's not even a gay pride rainbow, Mum, oh my god.
