#joy is real and it's waiting for you

[helios-co]

I CHOOSE to be happy. I am happy as an act of REBELLION. In this world that wants us to suffer, we will suffer, but we will do it with a smile. This is how we riot. This is how we stand strong against the oppression of those who seek to steal away goodness. We find the goodness, we find the joy, we breath in the beauty around us no matter where it comes from, and this is how we smile. They want us to cry and be angry but they cannot take away the joy. It is PERSISTENT. You will find it and it will carry you through the darkest nights. There is beauty everywhere!! Indulge in it!!! THIS IS HOW WE RIOT‼️

#positivity #aggressive positivity #rebellion #punk #because it is!!!! #finding joy in the face of adversity is so fucking punk #you can't tell me i'm wrong #because im not #love is real #joy is real and it's waiting for you #joy #queer

me after attempting to get back into sims and realizing i had a lot more to do than play the game

#hi everyone #I’m going around hugging you all #okay now that we are gathered here today #i will simply acknowledge that i have been gone for a very long time and then also acknowledge that maybe it was for the best #i relied on sims to be my only creative activity even if i tried to write a book at the same time #and also. i prioritized sims over real life responsibilities. that’s just a deadly combination lol #but I recently noticed I just replaced sims with Netflix. with YouTube. with anything that gave me quick dopamine #literally became addicted in a sense. still am but I’ve been cut cold turkey from most everything #I get off work and go. okay I’ve done the dishes and the laundry……..I could read or write or bake…. #I try to write and sometimes i get a good hour #then I read for a few hours and then get tired of it #and I made cookies Tuesday so I’m waiting for those to be gone before baking again #I’m just so pitiful that I feel BORED and don’t know what to do #so I said….. okay what if I do sims for an hour. #I downloaded some new cc Tuesday and tried to play yesterday #y’all ……………….. I can’t find the energy anymore to set up elaborate scenes and pose my sims and plan posts #I said wow… this is boring without my intervention and fake story #I said wow…….. all this for what? for tumblr? yes I created cool things and provided joy. but is that inherintly important compared to my #own joy? my own everyday activities I should be doing? #y’all I do not leave the house unless we got out to eat or shop or travel to our parents #.. I have little desire to. I’m trying to find that desire #but my husband is busy with grad school and work and I don’t want to do anything by myself #I’ve found myself in one heck of a slump #I didn’t want to be human for awhile. just had no desires no interests no ambitions #I was slacking off SO HARD at work. I just had no drive to do well #I’m still working on it. I’m still trying to get caught up. I’m still trying to force myself to move every day. #but I am struggling y’all. and I can tell you that sims… sims isn’t helping rn but I want it to so bad. I want to get back into it #I didn’t mean to disappear on everyone. I got married and then life got busy and then I fell into this hole of nothing #I didn’t even WANT to crawl my way out. but my husband has helped a lot. I feel like such a child!!!! #I reached max tags. 🙃 bye love you all. till next time

Reblog this if you want, it would be cool to see a broader set of opinions

#stuff I have just been curious about lately. For Obvious Reasons #for me I think I like to jump in during the middle? then ik there's a consistent backlog #but i also get the joy of some real time updates and active discussions #sometimes i do wait until something has ended though so i can get a sense of if i'd like the story as a whole #BUT following from the beginning is cool too bcuz then you get to actively watch the story develop from the start (!!!) #AND you get to say 'i liked it before it was cool' lol. #BUT YAH ANYWAY. feel free to reblog

THE PROTOTYPE MOE............... 👁️👁️

#feh #WAAUGHGHH THEY'RE SO CUTE AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY SO GENDER HERE...... so proud of them 🫡 #LOOOOOVE the slightest characterization of them being smug. so true and so real #it really does fill me w SO much joy though seeing the guy my guy is based off of.... literal prototype guy #also the. implication. you can summon more summoners. that seems like it'd be against the rules LMFAOOO #i also just really love the idea of kiran is just the guy we ended up following canon-wise. #beyond that there is a whole summonerverse......... #i MEAN that has ALWAYS been a part of the lore i guess LMFAO BUT LIKE. IT'S SO HARD TO KEEP TRACK TBH #like how is it we ended up w lif who ended up w A You (from an AU in the literal sense) #and then there's like one million other guys out there. who aren't you. #were all of those guys important to lif??????? does it just change based on the player's personal hc actually?????? #like alfonse is just a blorbo in law to my sister. sometimes our tastes overlap and sometimes they don't LMFAO #actually so many questions. does every fe multiverse have a lif? surely not? does feh have canon events like in spiderverse LMFAOOOO #I NEED TO KNOW. AM I READING INTO THIS TOO MUCH?????????? #WAIT NO OBVIOUSLY NOT ACTUALLY. WE LITERALLY LIVE IN THE UNIVERSE WHERE ALFPNSE DOESN'T GO LIF MODE #WHY AM I ASKING STUPID QUESTIONS ⁉️‼️⁉️‼️⁉️‼️⁉️‼️⁉️‼️⁉️‼️⁉️⁉️ #literally i have one braincell and he is fighting for his fuckinh life at all hours of the day. #moe tag

A commission for @neutronice's fic A Boy's Wish at Kagami Shrine! The story was a Secret Santa gift to me from Neutron so I'm honoured to get to be a part of this wonderful fic. Please go check out the story, it's amazing. Thank you for the gift, Neutron!

#this piece was a joy to work on #i dont do many background or environments or architecture but maybe i should #if youre curious the shrine is a real shrine in karatsu in japan which is the town hasetsu is based on #yes this is sneakily yuri on ice art #you really thought id post two non yuri on ice illustrations in a row? #you overestimate my ability to exist outside this fandom #anyway getting to first draw this really cool shrine and then getting to pick it apart was so fun #thinking about how it would realistically wear and tear was so fun #also copper roofing looks incredible no matter if its new or entirely oxidised #two looks in one #granted you have enough time to wait for the second one to fully appear #but im patient #(no im not) #yuri on ice #yuri on ice fanart #fanart #art #arom antix art #arom antix #goddess jingu

The first non-they/them-pronouns-are-confusing review for Hierarchy of the Unseen is here and. Hhhhhh it makes me so happy

Legit tearing up at "All my stars and more"

If you're out there, Vermont, thank you so much for reading our book, and for leaving such a kind review. I'm so so glad you enjoyed it.

#for real like... #thank you. /thank you/. #Hierarchy of the Unseen #arc readers wanted #book reviews #queer fantasy books #trans books #when the first review was like “pronouns are confusing. four stars” #b and I were like. okay. this is fine actually. the other reviews will probably be good #but it's still so nerve-wracking waiting for feedback knowing the book is out there being read by a bunch of people #and just having to hope #so this was such a welcome relief and a wonderful surprise and it brings me genuine joy #i cant say it enough!!! thank you!!! #that's not to say four stars is bad btw!! just that if that's the biggest takeaway the reviewer had but they're still rating it that highly #then we probably wrote a good book that doesnt suck lol

Joy is sitting on a bean bag in your mother's office on a monday morning eating a taco bell breakfast crunchwrap and watching anime.

Anyways, have these pictures of the sunrise this morning.

I’ve turned on tips which means whoever sends me $1 first gets to request a romance novel cover style of their faves no questions asked. 👈👈

#tumblr tips #I really just want to test it out and can’t tip myself #but also give me an excuse to draw a slutty beast or something #will draw for food #I’ll buy a chocolate with this #and love you eternally #wait are there any chocolates for $1 these days #inflation sucks the joy out of life’s dfkfnfksks #sorry I have ADHD and haven’t had enough sleep #anyway you don’t have to do this for real #I just want excuses to draw things really #and I’m poor lol

wouldn't it be so cool if when the pve for ow2 comes out the story and writing of it all is so horrendously bad that it has a reaction effect within the fandom that kickstarts people making their own versions of the game's story and soon there's fan comics that are 20x better than anything bl*zzard could dream of

I know this is somewhat a joke question, and yes- on the face of it, it would be

But in reality, that would not be the reaction to canon content being bad. Spite can only support you for so long - and more importantly, people are already doing just that; creating. If PvE comes out and is horrendously bad, people will be disappointed, they’ll be angry, they’ll post about how they feared this but had dared to hope, I’ll make a very big and funny and time consuming post writing a fake job application to the blizzard writers or some dumb shit like that. And then some of us will leave and some will stick around and make the same shit posts and drawings and what have you not

It’s all already there, you don’t have to punish yourself waiting around for something you don’t want

So sorry for being overly sincere, but if you want fandom to thrive, you shouldn’t sit around and wait for canon to write itself off for good, you should go out and look for the amazing stuff people are already putting out. Hell, you should make your own! Community and enthusiasm and love will always make better stuff than bitterness

#overwatch #overwatch 2 #gen not trying to be shitty anon #but like yeah #it wil eat all your joy if you spend your time putting a lot of energy into Waiting and Hoping #also at some point you have to just … find better media #I’m not joking when I say I’ve only stayed on ow for so long because I also consume and think a lot about Good Media #you NEED to let it go at some point #I know this is tumblr and we love saying shit about being motivated by spite #but if you have the choice between spite and literally anything else TAKE THE OTHER THING #it’s a good security net and if there’s nothing else absolutely cling on #but wild geese blah blah you don’t have to punish yourself all the time #find something the soft animal of your body ACTUALLY loves as it is right now #and let it love it #(also I will just say it in the tags actually; this is a kinda weird thing to say to a guy who has an does and will write fic? #i *am* making content it’s just not comics cause that’s not what I do #if you want comics you should violently support everyone who does some kind of sequential fan art they are real people #not creatures who will spawn en masse at some point in the future #I am already doing my craft at the level I want to for this fandom; you either read it or you don’t #but it’s weird being in my inbox wishing for another type of art)

Change or Die. Change or Die. Change or Die.

#tw transphobia #inhuman to think this way #these people cling to their fucking facts and logic. how about you consider the fact that every human experience is valuable #that any harmless thing which brings joy to people is valuable #that breaking boundaries and expressing the self in new ways is valuable #that no one person is inherently better than anyone else #'the bathroom debate isnt about real transsexuals. it's always the fake ones' define fake transsexual. go on. define it without relying on #arbitrary gender roles or harmful+untrue stereotypes. I'll wait 🤨

man the customisation in sv is such a mess. theres barely any clothes and yet somehow every single piece they did put in looks horrible. how

#ah yes can’t wait to wear all these brightly coloured pieces with my /checks notes/ bright purple or red pants #the uniform is HORRIBLE #why couldn’t they at least have given you a simple black pants version that would’ve helped at least a bit #doesnt change the fact that the accessories r ugly but at least the funky socks would look better #also dear god #‚hat shop‘ only sells two hats but in a million colors. ‚shoe shop‘ ONLY SELLS A SINGLE SHOE BUT IN A MILLION COLORS #THIS IS EMBARASSING #remember the joys of xy where you instead got Many Different Pieces #genuinely the colors should b a drop down menu after selecting the shoe #the main menu should b. multiple types of shoes. #arceus customisation was bad but at least the base clothes were fine #this? genuinely im so sad about it #i love putting on silly little outfits. #here it just feels like #if they didnt wanna put in customization #then do set protags designs again. go back to the xy and before days #(do keep being able to pick skin tone. please) #dont give us the most blended character designs to have ever been cardboard #and then also barely allow us to change that #be for real now. i hate my player character #‚you can pick between 50 eyelashes‘ is cool but i can’t fucking see my players eyelashes for 99% of gameplay. now can i #but you know what i will be staring at. their ugly ass uniform #ribbon rambles
