#did i tear up reading this ask

[intotheelliwoods]

(Apologies in advance for this lmao) So. It's been a bit since the first keychains went out, and I was planning to hop on the bandwagon of people who posted pictures of Poptart dangling out windows and tucked into beds, but life happened and I missed that train haha

Instead, I'd like to let you know something.

The past month or so, I've taken a good hard look at my health and tried to change it. I'm disabled, mentally and physically, and it takes a lot of work just to accept that, much less to improve my quality of life by dealing with it.

And I didn't expect it when I first started reading your comic, because it was just hugs and fun and pretty colors, but I think...I think 2al has made it easier to come to terms with my body, my limits, and the ever-expanding list of opportunities that I'm realizing I can still take advantage of as a physically disabled person.

Sprout got to be uncomfortable with his missing arm, use a prosthetic as an emotional crutch of sorts, and learn how to deal with it with help from Big Leo. Big Leo and Sprout got to experience and show the fact that an aid is an aid and not a permanent requirement. Poptart gets to explore life without a prosthetic by choice, and the challenges, and rewards, that come with that.

But most importantly, they all exist. You didn't shy away from the fact that they ARE disabled characters now, with trauma and healing and options for aid and different reactions and ways of dealing with it. The positives, the negatives, the little things that no one really thinks about (Sprout's cold robot arm and how it's not as comfortable to hug), you took it all into account as an integral part of their character and story.

And I didn't know I needed to see that, but here we are.

So I wanted you to know that, even though I don't have cool or funny pictures to share of it, my Poptart keychain goes with me to physical therapy, regular therapy, and everywhere I go with my cane. On bike rides and to check the mail. To doctor's appointments and visits to the store.

He lives with me while I learn to live with myself - a reminder that I'm not the only one going through this, that I can be disabled and still happy and silly and loved.

And that's amazing. So thank you so, so much <3

#asks #holy #ok I teared up on multiple occasions reading this #I have. no words #im just <3 #oh ok. #mhm. #im not still crying #yknow when I was making keychains I did not expect them being little emotional support guys but here we are #yknow I didnt expect any of this when first making the comic yet #here we are #ough. #really. really happy for you #im going to go cry some more

re the palestinian bird thing: different anon here, idk what they meant but it’s worth noting that, in addition to political fuckery, that the campaign to remove the word “palestine” from the bird's name might have partially been an attempt to correct a bit of historical revisionism. the only reason that region of the world is commonly known as palestine today in the first place is because the roman empire renamed the area to “syria palaestina” after the roman-jewish wars. they had previously allowed the province to be called judea/judaea, as in jews and the jewish kingdoms that existed there before being conquered. and it wasn't until much later that the arabs now known as palestinians came to be. (disclaimer: I don't speak hebrew and can't be bothered to track down hebrew articles from a decade ago to translate by hand to fact check how much this played into the bird thing but it is a reasonable possibility and an understandable one, as jewish heritage has been so often destroyed and erased. regardless, the palestinian response to make the bird a symbol is equally understandable.) relatedly, be careful about the phrase “from the river to the sea”, because while it's sometimes about palestinian liberation, it's also often used as a dogwhistle that means “kill all jews in the levant”; and the dogwhistle version has become increasingly common as of late. look into the organization called standing together for antisemitism-free activism and jewish/palestinian solidarity.

I see what you mean, the history you mentioned seems to check out and it's unquestionably been a tumultuous part of the world that's been given a lot of different names over time. However I don't really feel comfortable in agreeing it was combating revisionism because it happened during what I understand to be a violent occupation. Without a source or truly knowing the intentions it's just kind of speculation.

"From the river to the sea" was used in that post in the context of Palestinian freedom and peace. Related to that point, I also received another ask concerned with my use of the word "zionist" as it has historically described a very wide range of ideas, and has also been used as an antisemitic dogwhistle. That was not my intent, it's the word I was most familiar with to get across my point that I don't support violence against or the erasure of Palestinian culture. Those using violence and calls for peace to excuse antisemitism are despicable. One can and should be an ally of both Palestinians and Jewish people.

I looked up Standing Together, I can certainly get behind their message of peace and cooperation, and people in Israel who are working to end the genocide deserve so much respect and admiration. It seems like reception to the movement has been mostly positive, but I feel it'd be irresponsible not to mention that the PACBI wing of the BDS movement has taken issue with it in the past week. I don't feel qualified to take a definitive stance either way, especially as I also can't read Hebrew or Arabic to get more direct contex. I encourage anyone interested to learn more and come to your own conclusions.

My overall point is that I do not support the genocide the Israeli miltary is enacting on the Palestinian people. I want to share more posts about Palestinian culture, art, and joy in a time where there is effort being made to erase it.

Finally, while I do my best to make sure what goes on this blog is accurate, I just wanna make it clear that I'm neither an expert at research, nor am I able to be a definitive resource for this topic (or frankly most things).

#As a sidenote i have anon asks turned off for the time being. Probably will not be permenant #Mostly its for if anyone else would like to make claims in the near future I want to know who theyre coming from yknow #And also i did recieve a lot of anons in a short time span last night and it was pretty overwhelming #Dont worry i didnt get anything nasty everyone was respectful #Thank you to those who sent kind words. I teared up a little reading them <3

Thinking about Steve and Eddie waiting for the right time to propose to each other and they somehow do it at the same time.

And they don't know that the other wants to propose, nor do they tell the same people. Nancy and Jonathan know that Eddie wants to propose to Steve. Robin and Dustin know that Steve wants to propose to Eddie. The reason why Steve hasn't said anything to Nancy and Jonathan was because it felt a little bit weird to talk about it with your ex and her partner. On the other side Eddie KNEW neither Robin nor Dustin could keep a secret from Steve he didn't trust those two with the secret and Eddie really wanted to be special.

They chose the same place to propose, too - the Lover's Lake because that's where everything began and they wanted to give that day a good connotation. Steve and Dustin and Robin has worked hard for a character sheet for Steve ; it was literally Steve if everything they had gone through was part of a DnD campaign but with the difference that he was married to 'Eddie The Banished' (Steve planned to give the sheet to Eddie and wait until he got to the married part until he asked "If you would have me?" and get out the ring). Meanwhile Eddie and Nancy and Jonathan worked on this album full of photos with the party together over the years (the kids through high school + the graduation photos ; the photos from their trips around the state ; Steve with either Robin or Nancy and Jonathan or Eddie or the kids or the Byers or everyone ; little moments and random photos with caption like 'First time trying pineapple on pizza!!!' or 'First date without the kids around') with the last photo being of Steve and Eddie (the very first photo they took together) with the question "Will you marry me?" under it.

They looked over them at the same time. Stopped to fucking process what was going on. Look at each other like two idiots. They took the ring out at the same time and I don't know if they started laughing or crying or arguing over who would propose but I can guarantee the answer was yes from them both.

BONUS : Meanwhile Robin & Dustin meet with Nancy & Jonathan while hiding near the lake and they all do the Spider-Man meme while questioning each other what they were doing there. Everyone fucking face palmed when they came to the conclusion that those two were going to propose at the same time. Pure gold.

2 x BONUS : Somehow Max knew about it and said nothing because she thought it would be funny (and was 100% right)

#they would do that #idk were this came from nor do I know how DnD character sheets work but they ignored some of the rules anyway so is ok #I imagine them staying down on a blanket with the lake next to them and the moon their only source of light #Steve totally teared up a little while looking through the album #stranger things #stranger things eddie #eddie munson #stranger things steddie #stranger things steve #steddie #steve harrington #we are ignoring the fact that gay marriage probably wasn't legalized when this took place (I'm thinking Eddie's probably 27 and Steve 26) #they wanted to do it way earlier but weren't sure if it wasn't too soon #and we are ignoring the fact that Eddie should be dead. they won against Vecna and lived happily ever after #before anyone asks : yeah you can use this in your fic/write something with this idea #no need for credits but I would love to read it once it is done!! #also idk if somehow someone already did it I haven't looked it up

Comfort sex with roomate!Nagi🥺

The sounds of soft whimpering and stiffled cries rouses him from his post-practice nap on the living room couch. A moment later, and Nagi is greeted by your trembling form emerging through the entrance to your shared apartment. He takes one look at your crestfallen expression, cheeks dampened by tears, and the 190 cm striker is immediately drawn to your side. Nagi isn't the best at consoling others, preferring not to get involved with emotional matters since they often involve far too much effort. However, seeing his beautiful and sweet roomate in such a distressed state causes his chest to tighten and an uncharacteristic feeling of anger to well up inside of him. He gentley wraps his arms around you and brings you into his broad chest. Full body sobs wrack through your body as you clutch onto him. Nagi is warm, his presence soothing, and you feel so safe in his arms. After some time passes, you timidly glance up at your tall, and handsome roomate. His eyes are gentle, honeyed voice enticing when he offers to " help you forget the pain."

Your lips are petal soft, an ephemeral presence against his own. However, if you give a ravenous man an inch, he will gladly take a mile, and Nagi had been lusting after you from the moment you first met. It's your vulnerability, laid bare before him, that finally gives him the resolve to pursue these carnal desires.

He fucks you like a man possessed, large hands molded to your hips as you weakly wrap your arms around his neck. Nagi's taken you several times already, but the silver haired man shows no signs of stopping. Your tears of sorrow are rendered into tears of ecstasy. The pleasure is mindnumbing and all encompassing. You can scarcely remember your own name, let alone the cause of your despair. He'll make you cum as many times at it takes, until all your troubles are forgotten and the only thing you can remember is his name and the feeling of his cock against your velvety walls.

[cornertheculprit]

wait i have one more thing to say on the subject. this post is krisnix in its own warped way:

it didn't change anything (the atroquinine traps were planted long before kristoph and phoenix became proper friends). it didn't save anyone (and god knows phoenix wright has a savior complex a mile wide). there were just too many forces against it (the diary page, the atroquinine traps, kristoph's utter inability to relinquish whatever forms of control he has). but it still matters that the love was there (it matters because it made everything so much worse. because they took each other's respective "betrayals" so much more personally even when logic dictates that they should have seen it coming. because even when it ended with kristoph screaming phoenix's name in the middle of a breakdown on the witness stand it still matters that they knew each other for seven years and even after they'd gone and turned on each other one of the first things they say when phoenix visits kristoph in his cell is "...you look well, phoenix wright." "you, too...gavin."). their relationship (whatever it was) was a tragedy before it even began and they still took it as hard as if they'd never expected something like it to happen at all.

#sorry i'm reading through the game script and jesus christ. phoenix agonizing over their friendship and asking kristoph over and over #why he did it. kristoph being so taken aback that phoenix turned on him when he was genuinely trying to clear him of the charges #and how before he starts screaming phoenix's name he says 'so everything was leading up to this' as if phoenix had been targeting him #personally all these years even though that was never the intention at all and never would have happened if kristoph hadn't killed zak. #if the atroquinine traps had never been set. phoenix never understood kristoph and kristoph never understood phoenix and it was such a mess #they were such a mess. it's easier to see with phoenix but you'd THINK kristoph would've known better. you'd THINK that maybe he'd #at the very least SUSPECT that phoenix might've laid some sort of trap (even though phoenix honestly didn't) for him. but he DIDN'T. #dear god do i want to tear into these two's psyches. i have GOT to study them like ANTS under a goddamn MAGNIFYING GLASS

hello i read your tags on a reblog and i felt the need to tell you that it doesn't matter if your english skill isn't up to your ideal standards, it's okay to just go ahead and join gosuku week anyway. please don't be so harsh on yourself. i would love to see your contributions! this is our first ever ship event held in english and it'd be nice to have many participants to celebrate this special occasion and hopefully it'll be a recurring annual event too, i'd love to see everyone gather together next year and so on. i also think that it's a great opportunity for you to improve on your english until you're satisfied, after all practice makes perfect and we all got to start somewhere right <3 sending you all the love and support!

Anon I'm violently crying, screaming, shaking, throwing up, pulling out my hair, bashing my head into the wall, going apeshit and kissing you on the mouth. I never thought i would get such a massage so sweet it would take me days to reply because i was just giggling and blushing like a teenager. 🫶🏻

I think a big part of my insecurities comes from the fact that reading is so easy while writing feels like i just got a lobotomy (English is my third language but still...)

I have some scenes outlined, i just have to make a coherent story out of it. It's probably not going so be that long but I've been thinking about it for a few days now so why not go all the way and write it down.

Also the sukugo brainrot is strong. The chokehold these bitches have on me i swear...

Anyway.

I'll probably post it on the last day. Two reasons:

1) work is going to be really stressful and most importantly 2) i realized I'm using at least 1 prompt of every day. And not even on purpose😅

Dear anon I can not thank you enough, you were the motivation boost I need and your reassurance a appreciated beyond words ❤️

#bro i did tear up a little reading this #bless your heart anon! #sukugo #asks #i think I'm gonna reread this a lot #🥹❤️🫶🏻

vaniiii ehe hiya :3 umm we got a system sideblog if yer interested in seein more of us... but ummmm hiya !!!! i missed ya n im glad t' see ya... do ya got any advice fer copin wit' lack of attention from an fp.... we're okay but if ya got anythin it might be helpful for us :33 ehe i love yaaaa -🪴

MIIIIIKAAAAA!!!!!!!!! i missed u guys </3 i would love to see more of u tho i miss you guys when you're not around... although i guess technically you are since you said we're mutuals but skdghds

ough. tbh i've been pretty lucky insofar that i haven't had a lotta issues with that... but in my experience usually if i gotta be left alone for awhile distracting myself helps a lot? like. go down a wikipedia rabbit hole, or do a puzzle, or play a game you get super invested in. just something to focus on so you don't end up in your own head kinda thing yanno??? otherwise don't feel bad to just. ask for attention? like. it's not illegal to have human desires. and as long as your fp isn't busy or something they probably don't mind talking with you a lil :3 although idk for sure i know everyone has different relationships with their fp so ^^; do not listen to me if you know it'll cause you harm/strife/etc :< also naps. bc those pass the time reaaaaal quick. its like a lifehack. feeling bad? take a nap. you'll either feel amazing after or like you got smacked in the face with a trout ! oh and also like. doing schoolwork or smth productive maybe? thats not really fun tho so dskghds maybe pick up a kinda time-consuming hobby like crochet or cross-stitch or something where you can use that to distract yourself and have something to do with your hands :3?

but if its like. ur Already Feeling Bad i recommend like. watching a movie/tv show/etc that you really like or getting a Little Treat(tm) or something :3 curl up with a cozy blanket and drink some hot cocoa or tea or something !! its not like. a sure-fire fix. but i find the combo of distraction + comfort media + Little Treat tends to make you feel at least a lil better :3 also if it gets Very Bad just like. destroy some old school work you don't need or somethin. tearing papers to shreds is sooooooo fun. make sure u don't accidentally rip up something you need though skjghds it helps to calm down a lil and then you can work on relaxing a little more !! its not like. guaranteed. but sometimes gettin some of the destructive urges out helps

ily2 mika <3 i would die for u btw /lh

#at least i get destructive urges idk. i usually just rip up papers and stuff i don't need if i get like that #most of the time i can just deal w/ it via distractions (mmmm shitty mobile games) but !! sometimes u gotta Rip And Tear #most of my strats are just. distract urself. bc it gives you time to calm down and process stuff even if you don't realize it #so. ye. jus kinda be nice to yourself :3 it helps a little. perhaps get a plushie to cuddle with even #i have plushies my fp got me and i keep them on my bed and cuddle them when i miss them nd stuff #it helps a little !!! making yourself feel better can be rlly hard tho so don't feel bad if you struggle a bit !! #find some friends to talk to too if you can !!! it rlly helps to have people to talk to even if they don't entirely get it #just having other people around can help. i message with a few friends when my fp is busy sometimes and it helps keep the loneliness #at bay a little :3 but !! obv i cannot guarantee any of this will work for you !! but hopefully some of it is helpful at least !!! #I FORGOR U CAN'T PUT READ MORES IN ASKS. AUGH. this got so long srry mika ily #anyway !!! i am glad to see u :3 i was thinking abt u guys recently actually sdkghsd #i was worried u guys might've been one of the people in recent times that've blocked me or something orz #ily. stay safe. nd !! lemme know if i can help you guys somehow :3 #im not like the most versed in system nor bpd stuff but ! i have my silly little experiences to go off of #system anon 🪴 #long post #<- j. just in case. bc this did get Long. oopsies

What is YOUR Roman Empire?

»A little life« by Hanya Yanagihara

#like you don’t understand how much this book will break you until you read it yourself #I’ve never before slammed a book against my head while tears were streaming down my face #and I think I’ll never experience that with a book ever again #this is truly an… experience #about 10 months later and this book is still always in my head #always contemplating on starting to read it again - a book with almost a 1000 pages! #but if you think I’m recommending it to you this way: no #read the trigger warnings before starting it and be sure that those topics will be harshly mentioned especially sa #sh & physical abuse #way too long rant #but I’ve just thought about what my roman empire would be through a tiktok & now I see this ask #asks #thank you anon #I’m just sad that this book has put a standard on how I should obsess over a book afterwards and nothing got to catch up in any way #like yes I’ve read great books but did I look for fan art - went to a copy shop to get perfectly neat prints of scenes from the book that a #STRANGER HAD TO HAND ME WHILE LOOKING VERY ASHAMED AND CONFUSED WHY A YOUNG WOMAN WOULD HAVE GAY FAN ART IN HER HANDS - and then proceed to #tape them on every matching page where this exact scene was mentioned #and have like 200 book tabs in it #if anyone has book recs that made them this crazy ; please let me know

sending lots of hugs your way :''3

Thanks, i really needed those. The shock is starting to wear off and i'm getting more and more... emotional :"D How...do they expect us to enjoy this week's Gojo episode when Gege pulled this in the manga. I didn't like to admit it but i did have a soft spot for him, damnit.

#I'm sorry but yeah i'm lowkey tearing up over him now too #re-reading his flashback sequence and getting to the point where he waves Goodbye.. #I just can't #i can't hold back the tears when i get to that part.. #It's stupid to cry over fictional characters i know but something about stories and becoming so well-immersed in them is beautiful #These characters act as a sort of friend and emotional support for many people around the world #and although Gojo may have not been mine i still adored him to a very big extent #I was willing to see Sukuna get smacked around for 10-11 chapters for the ending of the fight to be satisfying and to NOT have it end on #Gojo's death ; especially the brutal way he had to go; Gege really did not pull back any punches ; This was the most unexpected thing. #i'm still lowkey hoping gojo makes a binding vow ;sacrificing his limitless+6 eyes in return for getting his body healed up and to- SURVIV #That would be a great way to keep him around please Gege just..don't let him die like this..His kids need him. #Nerf him Sure ; Make him second to Sukuna in terms of being the strongest but don't actually kill him off like that ah :') #I guess this means that Gojo is my no.2 Favourite character in JJK i can't really deny it anymore #ooc #answered ask #thanks for asking! #<3 hugs for you too incase you're suffering too

the older i get the more confused i become in regards to my identity.

#z escribe #i have been aware that i was adopted from a young age. heck i knew before my mom told me because i watched the health channel #and i rmbr they showed a skin color chart and i pieced together...two white parents don't equal a brown kid #and i thought that the colorblind mindset was a proper one to be brought up with. obviously not as i experienced racism in elementary. #and was extremely confused why 'other' white kids didn't see me as white either...well no shit you're not white baby aza #and i went through a radical phase during middle school. hating all white people. but then my mom's white fragility deterred me from that #as any time i would voice my anger she would... quite literally in tears... try to reason with me and be like ''but i'm white people... #do you hate me?'' to which i would always have to soothe her. and honestly i have become comfortable in identifying with mixed. #it is a comfortable identity because i have grown up without any specific culture (outside of american. which. how does one even begin to #define the complexities of such an identity... the way that american as a nationality transcends as it becomes a civil religion.) #anyways. i have been thinking about a guy at a party and our conversations. and how we got to our identities and i instantly... #out of habit really. told him ''well i'm half mexican or indigenous too... but i mean it's not like i'm really latin.'' and he was like. #''no azaria. you are. don't diminish yourself and your ancestors just because you weren't able to grow up around that culture'' #his comment made me think about my identity once again after a long time of not wondering what it means to be Me. #and i recently submitted a paper for an internship. and god. i was reading it to my white mom. and after i read the concluding paragraph #she asked me to read it again. to which i did. and then after a pause she sighed and said i was being ''too angry'' #and when i asked her to elaborate she simply said ''well it makes it sound as if white people are evil'' #mind you. my application paper is about working at a museum for african american/black art preservation. like. art history is so deeply #saturated with colonialism and racism??? and she just chose to ignore that point of my paper and focus on me critiquing her fellow white #people. and to categorize me as the 'angry black person' are you Fucking kidding me. but then even with that she was like. #''i just don't get why you're so angry. you're not even black. i mean. you don't look black at all. you look mexican'' #she constantly wants my identity to be simple. to be watered down. to be digestible. #i am the product of a biracial mother and fully latin/indigenous father. that is the truth of my identity. i will NEVER be perceived as #white. #but after that i just felt so incredibly shitty and called my sister and she told me what our mom said to her that day too. and i said #something along the lines of ''sometimes i feel as if mom thinks we owe her for adopting us.'' and my sister agreed. #it broke me. it really did. to know that i am not being overdramatic in my thoughts. to know that i am not simply being ungrateful. #my sister says that she copes with it by reasoning that our parents are born in the 40s and times were a lot different then. but it is hard #for me to constantly excuse their racism and ignorance towards my identity. both regarding my queerness and ethnicity. #i am so tired. so so tired.

i already gave a little note in one of ur posts, but i do have to say, there is a lot that's super memorable abt ur art and characters. even when i wasn't using tumblr much, i think any imprints of how you drew hair and anything you taught me, still followed me over time. Definitely the gender fuckery and freedom in presentation. that made such a big impression on me, it even changed my view abt gender as a whole, sjbfnfjsjs

also memorable characters and style for sure... even looking at old art, i feel like i can tell rly quickly, that's gabriel's!!! ocs are so dope n cool and you seem like you have fun w it and go rly out there, the creativity is so admirable! i think that's the best and most appealing thing is doing what you enjoy and putting out there what you Want to make. ik you get busy w comms a lot, but im always rly happy when you say you rly enjoyed a piece or felt experimental w smthn,

looove when you share a lot w me, or dump a lot of art my way, just rly enjoy speaking w you and hanging out, man,

what do you like about my art? What about it registers as “Gabriel’s” art

#asks #quiescent-trolls #mun stuff #Happy Tag #the comment abt my art changing your views of gender entirely made me tear up oh my god. #idk if youll ever know how much that mens to me. thanks so much for all of this eros its so #i dont have the words #(also i DID read your blurb! it ws so sweet and tbh inspired me to reinclude that lil circle into my noses again. but a lil differently)
