#just embrace and love me

#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt #rottmnt donnie #no real context lmao #just found an ancient sketch of this and got out of nowhere motivation to finish it #thinking abt the way i used to treat myself in the past is very bittersweet #cuz i lost sm time worrying abt my skills and presentation and restricting myself a lot and demanding so much out of myself all the time #i still struggle with it #but at the same time looking back fills me w pride and love for both my current and past selves #theres a lot of growth and progress there #and past me wasnt half as bad as they thought either #never be hard on urselves gamers #go out there embrace the world embrace urselves

Read this article, and then put Liv Hewson in everything, because damn. They are a fucking legend.

#liv hewson #dude I’ve been non-binary/agender (they’re different things for some; for me i dance between) for years #but listening to Liv talk about their experience is what pushed me to finally just embrace the they/them that is me #they’re an absolutely wonderful performer and brilliantly well-spoken and I love seeing them live their best life

i hate this fucking show why does it looks like he’s being yelled at. he looks like he’s being yelled at when actually his best friend is begging him to talk to him. mr kendall roy. its both the shame of the grip logan has on him right now the shame of the humiliation logan is putting him through right now and also the. its the love. the love is violence. mr kendall roy thinks the love is violence!!

#kendall just wept into his father’s welcoming shielding embrace for the first time in either who knows how long or ever #and it was only after he’d just killed a kid #and now his best friend is putting thirty years of love and trust on the table and he thinks this love is violent toooooo #and no no i need you to understand its not that he’s afraid of stewy or thinks stewy is being manipulative #its like. the love is there because he did something wrong. you’re showing me love because i did something awful. #you putting love on the table feels like a punishment like discipline #am i making sense!!!! #kendall roy #kenstewy #m

It’s easier with people around you. To make you feel more like you.

#critical role #ygifs #cr2 #yasha #honestly what's the point in gifs when your heart can’t wrench from the crack in her voice #anger is an emotion I know how to deal with because thats where I live just. just. completely. #the way that grief is the soil of rage will never not be with me #yasha not being present for the majority and yet her entire character arc and growth being so powerful and purposeful I just #their love never leaving her even when she was lost and their love embracing her back just as fiercely #loss and grief and guilt and loneliness and rage and c2 really said we will keep you still and your hair will grow white again

Look what came through the mail today! The letters & ( •̀ω•́ )σ 3 little gremlins from letterstoear.

Just wanna say i adore the flower stickers on the letters too much, they are that much worth mentioning.

when you accept that the unique things about you are the best things about you. when you fall in love w your uniqueness and become obsessed w it and reject conformity. when you think for yourself and draw your own conclusions and adore that you don’t perfectly fit into a mold. that’s when you’ll know true peace

#this sounds like an instagram infographic but hear me out #all the things i used to hide as a teen are things i am so grateful to embrace now #i’m realizing that any notable person has trailblazed their own path. that’s how they stand out. #not bc they already fit into a predetermined mold. but bc they were unique and confident about it #can’t say i’m at a 100% w my self acceptance yet but there will be FAR fewer things to talk about in therapy 🥲 and that’s a good thing #ppl rly need to take their quirks and appreciate them and LOVE them and adore them and be obsessed and feel so lucky they have them #the same old same old is boring #it just sucks that w uniqueness naturally comes backlash #and u have ppl who r nasty rude etc etc. who try to make u feel like ur the freak show for being different #but as long as u know ur truth that’s what matters. that’s all #text

i’m obsessed with the idea of cult leader!geto pining for a reader who just fucking hates him i don’t know why just. maybe it’s someone from his past that he left behind when he defected, maybe they’re bitter and spiteful and all they do is hiss and bite but he’s so smitten. you can do no wrong in his eyes. he deserves the curses and anger, and he receives them with a smile and eyes full of hearts. he gets giddy when you scowl at him. he just thinks you’re love personified. he’s so gentle and patient that it’s infuriating because nothing you do or say will get him to bite back. it’s like you’re a kitten gnawing at his fist but he does nothing but coo at you even when you draw blood.

#SAVE ME MAN CAPABLE OF IMMENSE CRUELTY WHO TURNS INTO A PUPPY IN YOUR PRESENCE…. SAVE ME………. #im thinking abt a kind of sort of sequel to there was no place in nature we could meet…. #where reader DOES go with geto and join his cult but they’re still soooo bitter and hateful. there’s so much anger left #and geto is just endlessly patient he’ll wait as long as it takes for them to melt into his embrace again….. #doesnt even mind if they scratch at him or tell him to fuck off he’s in LOVE #im obsessed w cult leader geto and the idea of him being a puppydog w his s/o alone it’s canon to me #ari noises ✩ #geto x reader #<- clout chaser moment I JUST WANNA BE ABLE TO FIND THIS AGAIN IF I WRITE SMTH ON IT… :’3 #thinking abt him always <33 my silliest little mass murderer

See Frieren x Himmel is canonically doomed and that's part of the overall narrative, Frieren will outlive almost everyone she ever meets but she slowly starts to build more and more relationships in spite of that and Himmel was one of the biggest catalysts in her changing in this way

But they also have this "this is how it can still win" vibe to it because Frieren is literally traveling to the afterlife specifically to visit Himmel, and along the way she's changing and very slowly embracing love in all these different forms from the people around her, one of which was from Himmel

So it's doomed but it still feels like they'll definitely have a happy ending too, it's an interesting dynamic

#frieren: beyond journey's end #frieren x himmel #frimmel #never have I been so desperate for the straightbait to still work out haha. it's just such sappy genuine romance and I love it #save me doomed elf/human relationship #this isn't even touching upon the most recent manga arc where she's traveled back in time and the marriage illusion. like. christ #tc posts #anyway they'll reunite one day after frieren eventually passes and share a long embrace

it is honestly insane to think about how much of fobs discography they were just. neglecting and ignoring for so long likely out of fear of negative reaction and rejection from their crowds. like, genuinely for a decade they only ever played the singles from each album, and then Maybe a few more off whatever album they were touring for, and nothing more. at once point they eventually introduced disloyal order, but otherwise it remained Very predictable for a DECADE. it is so blatantly obvious how afraid they were to shake things up, how careful they were being to play ones they Knew people liked to not get a negative reaction. and then by chance patrick mentioned how it would be cool to play headfirst slide again, and then they Did, and fans reacted so incredibly positively that it. it opened a whole new world of healing and song possibilities to them where they can now fully embrace their entire discography, every nook and cranny of it, without fear. since this tour started they have already played roughly half (53% so far to be exact) of their entire discog, when before on a tour they’d Maybe play a quarter of it. and that growth and healing is so beautiful and powerful to see unfold before our eyes. not to mention that it makes me so incredibly happy to see Them so happy and free after so long of holding themselves back ;__;

#like. i rly was sitting here thinking abt all of this and it got me emotional like god. theyre so free and happy and embracing their past #so thoroughly when they NEVER used to definitely out of fear and i just fucking love it. i love them so much man #txt #fob #p: 100

This is everything

cr: @hellfiresbyers

#byler #will byers #mike wheeler #analysis #Will growing up with Jonathan encouraging him that being is freak the best #and that it’s way better to like the things you like and embrace it #than to pretend to be someone you’re not #whereas mike doesn’t have someone close to him encouraging him to be himself #which is why they clash so much in s3 #followed by Eddie sort of being that influence on mike to be more true to himself and what he likes #they’re arcs go so well together #i was thinking about this the other day in regards to their s3 vs s4 funkos #wills s3 funko is connected to dnd #mikes s4 funko is connected to dnd #they’re also the only characters with dnd related funkos #and that just speaks volumes #specifically when it comes to mike pretending he didn’t want to play in s3 #only to do a 180 in s4 with it being pretty much his main focus in Hawkins in s4 #like that’s gotta be the biggest byler evidence to me #Mike loving dnd arguably more than all of them #only to drop it #then pick it back up again #it’s so weird even now still seeing Redditors claim will was childish for wanting to play in s3 #tho they have nothing to say about Mike switching up in s4 #does that make him childish then?? #or is there more to it…? #he’s also the one who put the no gfs and dnd for the rest of their lives together #in our heads in the first place #he voiced it as not something that he hated the idea of but that he saw as not being an option #he saw it as something he had to let go of almost and just jump into the life he’s expected to live…

hater alert! far too many people say that juri’s character arc ‘isn’t about her being sad about being gay, it’s about being sad about unrequited love that happens to be gay’ and. well. that is not true and by saying that you are completely flattening the brilliance of juri’s character arc which literally culminates in her being able to accept her own lesbianism despite her unrequited love, despite all her shame and self-loathing, despite this pursuit by Some Fucking Guy to try and ‘save’ her from these feelings. like if you think juri’s entire character is just ‘sad about shiori’ how do you appreciate even a modicum of the emotion packed into that final juri duel. it is both about shiori and, even broader, her lesbian identity and what that means to her intrinsically as a person, removed from romantic relationships and just purely as like. you know. Who She Is. the idea that even when juri’s locket is cut from her neck she is still a lesbian that’s still who she is and she cant change that and, crucially, she doesn’t want to even as she is agonised by these feelings. that’s why she forfeits the duel!!!! she’s clocking out she’s quitting she’s saying no!!!!!! this is me and ive got to be ok with that this is me and i can accept that this girl might not love me and i can keep living despite that. like. god im so normal arisugawa juri im so sorry that no one understands you and your intrinsically unapologetically lesbian storyline like i do

#ok got that out of my system now (rewatched ep 29 duel too many times) #revolutionary girl utena #rgu #idk i just see that argument so much and it makes me so sad #bc i get where ppl r coming from there r a lot of unnuanced ‘sad bc gay’ narratives out there #but juri’s whole arc is about actively challenging and deconstructing that idea #and it deals with the sadness that comes with being closeted with knowing youre gay and not really liking that about yourself #and eventually she does accept and embrace that aspect of herself but CRUCIALLY she doesnt do it via romantic validation #in fact she does it in the face of like. All Opposition Ever #no one says hey juri if you were gay that’d be totally fine actually haha #ruka tries to save her from her lesbianism!!!!!!!! like!!!!!!! #it is juri and juri alone who makes this resolution and that is just So Fucking Important to me #shes so. she is the queer character of all time to me i literally dont care no one else will ever come close #LIKE!!!!!!! THE CASTLE WEEPING ON HER WHEN SHE MAKES HER CHOICE!!!!!!! #accepting that part of yourself and having the symbol of matrimony and heteronormativity WEEP over you #no one ever validates juri’s choice to accept her queerness but she keeps making that choice #and her in episode 37…….. god i just might keel over and die girls when juri utena touga parallels…… #anywayyyyyyy love and light i love juriposting #shut up daisy

I love you smile lines and worry lines and grey and white hair and wrinkles and purple spiderweb veins and the process of aging and living in a body that is standing the test of times. I love you experiences that make you wiser and stories that make you laugh, and every little process that happens to get to the point where you have so many memories because you have the fortune to be here and be so radiant

#positivity #pro aging #also i hate you 'anti aging' scams that capitalize on fear of aging. death by 1000000 papercuts for ye #saw a hair video where they restored the salt-and-pepper colour in an older clients hair and it looked SO GOOD at the end #i love when people throw in the towel and embrace their aging however that looks #it isn't productive to shame people who are ashamed of aging and i just want to. celebrate aging #in a world that simultaneously venerates youth and adulthood and hates BOTH you need to find some sense of freedom #as a Young Adult(tm) please please PLEASE older folks seeing this/following me know that i look up to you #older folks i need you to know that your worth NEVER diminished when you added a new number on your birthday cake #and your body and mind and soul NEVER lost worth because it started to creak a little at the joints #and i might be wrong about this because i'm still young but it can be SO tempted to miss your youth when you feel like... #...you've somehow LOST part of yourself by growing older. and so much of aging is about change and some things don't stay the same... #...and that IS scary and i will never once fault somebody for that. but please don't fall into the trap that because you've aged that... #...you somehow have forever lost fundamental pieces of Who You Are and you could never come back from that... #...for your own sake and sanity you deserve to find comfort and solice and understanding in who you still are... #...because you are still - at the core - the same. you can never take this away from yourself #and i know this might ring hollow because i just don't get what it's like to be older #but i have looked at my elders and felt awe at their age and their experiences #and i know what that is like and it's awesome. i just wish more older people knew that so many of us look at you with awe... #...and - if you can believe it - some of us ENVY your age or experiences or even body #i'm watching an 'older' content creator (older by internet standards 🙄) and i envy him for how eventful his life was #i envy that he experienced a different world - one that i have only heard about from my dad because i was too young to remember it #and i admire this person for their wisdom and thoughts because they've come from his experiences living in a Different World #it's that type of stuff that makes me unafraid to keep on living #inspired by following somebody like. twice my age posting about their excitement abiut growing older and !!!!!!! YEAHHHHHH #didn't realize they were closer to my dad's age but that's so cool???????????

HER RIGHT ARM IS LITERALLT ON HIS HEART IT’S ACTUALLY SICK. NOT A BIT OF AIR BETWEEN THEM

#it’s the same hand he missed by a hair btw. her right one #loz #totk #zelink #i’ve been cornplating the hell out of the falling sequence in totk #literally looking up totk ending 60fps 4k on youtube and playing it at 0.25 speed #because nintendo made the worst camera angle decisions ever for this cutscene and im trying to figure out how theyre posed #and this mad eme emotional #first link’s smile out of bounds when zelda says “warm loving embrace” #and then this just barely visible with the greatest scrutiny and multiple videos some in 4k and some with with different bottom armor #why do they want to hide the details so bad like……trying to figure out their vertical pose here has been so hard #the fact that i have to use different videos just to show more details is crazy. like i had to rely on speedrunners for wearing no pants #totk spoilers #but i found this when comparing the footage and it made me go. AAAGGHHHHH
