#me youre from a small place

[fivefeetfangirl]

you're trying to figure out what to vote in the local election: multi-party system edition

#to live in a world where i dont have to do hours of research to make an informed decision about who's gonna run the county and municipality #and ive just started to research #AND THE VOTE IS TODAY AND TOMORROW #but i have to vote today cause im working tomorrow #AND I HAVENT EVEN GOTTEN TO THE COUNTY PART IM STILL ON THE MUNICIPALITY POLITICS CAUSE APPARENLTY WE NEED TO HAVE #THREE DIFFERENT GOVERNMENT LEVELS #like. how do you navigate a political landscape where the far left and far right might agree on some matters. like???? this is way too much #but i refuse to not vote or vote blank #also local politics sucks cause like. they're people i have relations with. mostly cause i work with politics lol so ive met most of them #but also like. you stalk a politician and find out you have 15 shared friends on facebook. tell me youre from a small place without telling #me youre from a small place #anyways. remember to vote in your elections ahaha easiest way to participate in your democracy. and local politics are actually super #important even tho it might not be as fun/interesting as national politics

man

#maybe im being pessimistic abt this. im not saying u should wear a mask every waking moment of your life god knows i cant #but also. hell no i dont trust u if anything i distrust u ppl even more after how things played out for the past 3 years #like there are situations where it might be inevitable catching covid. most of my family members are nurses and in constant contact #but there are also a ton of ways to make that risk low as possible like masking and wearing a face shield and having sanitizer #for me its not enough to just say oh we're in a small group and we're all vaccinated #motherfucker your kid is sick from preschool EVERY TIME WE VISIT. of course ill be wearing a mask she gave me covid last year #also no the fuck it isnt seasonal the cases go up because lack of caution makes the virus spread and mutate especially around times when #ppl gather. add that with virus transmission in cold weather and its a matter of different factors increasing the risk of spread #im also tired of ppl not understanding that i wont be their responsibility if i do get sick. maybe they can help me recover #but at the end of the day the risk of death and long term health is all on me. i cant change that #the govt barely gives me accommodations what makes u think theyll do anything for every individual case of long covid or worse #im so tired. im so tired #i dont even know if its possible to want this to be over anymore i just wish we didnt have to deal with this in the first place #ALSO COUGH INTO YOUR SLEEVE SERIOUSLY HOW IS THIS SO HARD TO REMEMBER #oh its just a cold/dry throat its not like i have covid or anything. no!! its basic hygiene!!! how is this so hard to understand!!!!!!!!!! #and no this isnt abt whether people have the means to protect themselves this is me bitching abt my relatives not taking me seriously #vent #my art #myart #doodles #covid 19

Actually I'm deleting the app. Peace out Tumblr, its been a hell of a decade.

Cohost, Bluesky, twitter, Steam, Twitch, and Discord are all: Windfaemaiden

Might be all lowercase on Discord, and thats the best place to reach me. After that I might be on Cohost, my Twitter is a bit dead, and bluesky is. Eh. Talk to me on steam if you wanna game.

My alt accounts here are Windfaemaiden for my art blog, and my alt blog which is 18+ is mothgirlmilk.

I might check desktop tumblr in a while but this place has become too hostile and its just painful. I met the love of my life here by talking about Metroid. I love this girl so much and the place we met has been so actively hostile I just can't be here any more and it sucks so much. I get sentimental about so many things and I'm crying over losing the place I met my wife. Fuck.

I'm gonna miss a lot of you, if we ever even exchanged a reply or dm or ask or two, I would love to hear from you in the future. If this place gets better I might even be back, who knows. So many of you have become friends and people in my circle who I love to learn about.

💕💕💕💕💕

#runa diary #Maxine if you see this I'm sobbing rn this sucks so much #It feels like I'm leaving a little bit of both of in the past. #Like. Idk. This is where we met. This is where we met ;;^;; #I know I get to see you in person now and we have so many ways to talk now #But I think I'm just remembering our little talks on here and memories that I guess were made here #And its making me sob. Buh. #I love seeing your little thoughts and I love seeing you get excited about things and I love seeing the side of you #That I initially fell in love with #If you ever feel like it I'd love little messages just talking about the kind of stuff you say here. I love small talk with you #Thats what I'm gonna miss the most. #Just. Your presence in a place I can visit from my phone. #ily Maxie I'll talk to you in the morning love <3 #This is a love letter to ourselves from over 2 years ago and how we met and fell in love

Feel free to ignore this but as someone who also goes to art school, I find it really interesting how other art schools also have a “don’t date your peers” sort of faux pa. Like so many people I know (including me) refuse to date anyone else who goes to my college 😭

I wonder why that is tbh, small school thing maybe?

being so serious i didn't have anything against dating other art school peers when i first came here and i think most freshmen dont but once you have one or two art school relationships under your belt you realize why all the upperclassmen avoid dating each other like the plague

#it sounds so good on the surface. like when am i ever going to find this many lesbians concentrated into one place at the same time #but unfortunately in order to go to art school you need to be 1. in your 20s and 2. have something wrong with you #also especially as you get into years 3-4 i think maintaining a relationship just becomes SO hard. bc we're all in the trenches #AND ALSO. from experience. this school is SO small that you CANNOT avoid your exes. if it ends badly fuck you you have 4 classes with her #anyway obviously this doesnt stop me from looking for. things. on tinder. i just dont swipe right on anyone i recognize from class #and it ALSO does not stop you from WANTING to date people in your classes. this tinder girl is nowhere near my first art school crush i jus #do not act on them anymore <3 lmfao #that being said tinder girl if youre reading this i didnt mean any of it baby you're so pretty and im so stable please dm me

every time a post/poll goes around about being aspec and fandom shipping enjoyment/engagement/whatever im like. NOW can we stop acting like being an aromantic person who enjoys shipping is some kind of Weird Outlier Situation? can we stop acting like this is an Unpopular Opinion or even Persecuted Outcast Take rather than idk, the default standard, just like everywhere else? idk romance repulsed aromantics Yes Including Fiction aren’t the default or even a significant majority and it really drives me nuts when people act like aros who enjoy shipping are somehow Not exactly that.

#gav gab #aro blogging #like gdspeed bud enjoy what you enjoy #glad you’re happy #but can we fucking knock it off with the ‘but am i VALID to be an aro who likes shipping?????’ stuff #like yeah dog you and fucking Everybody Else in fandom #a small handful of ‘im too aro for this’ from the handful of Yes Including Fiction Yes All Of It romance repulsed aros #are not persecuting you or taking away your aro card #anyways that goes along with my general opinion that #going around asking people Is It Valid To Be X Identity And Have Y Experience Or Opinion #is a fundamentally useless and unhelpful thing to do #and is unfair to yourself and to the person you're asking #bc you're placing your like #ability to Have An Identity in someone else's hands #which they did not ask for #and is not theirs to give or not give anyway #this one just super extra annoys me lmao #'am i valid if i'm an aro who still likes shipping?????' well if you weren't #most aros wouldn't be ValidTM #because that is not unusual at all #you know what IS unusual? #being the big mean aro in the corner who DOESN'T like shipping #no none of it yes including that one I Do Mean All

I always wondered how James Somerton could crank out such many well written video essays in such a short amount of time…

Because he’s stealing the words of literally dozens of writers who are better than him. 😀

#˚ʚ meda rants ɞ˚ #can you all tell i just watched the new hbomberguy video… #i haven’t watched a james somerton video essay in a while #because his sexism towards queer women really started to leave a bad taste in my mouth #but there was a period in time about a year ago where i was recommending his content to almost every queer person i knew #and tbh i am so heartbroken #like the level of plagiarism this man has committed against his own community… #like straight up reciting wikipedia pages to a paying audience is scummy #but stealing the words and opinions and hard work of small queer writers?? #and pretending it’s your own work?? #it all just makes me so sad #like it’s so unserious #but also it’s not?? #so many people had their work straight up stolen and aren’t seeing a cent from it #all so this soulless man can butcher it and sell it to unknowing queer people #it’s such a disservice to queer people in general and i’m sad i ever encouraged other people to watch his shit in the first place

Quick tribute to my favorite but mostly forgotten form! All hail the small furry thing!

Obligatory fancier outfit that must be present anytime I post outfits 

#self #fantasy costume #If I had the money for a custom tailored fantasy-ish victorian-ish suit instead of piecing together random thrift store items with like walm #rt halloween costume type jackets and stuff.. #unstoppable..... #I would actually lean more straight up historical with my wardrobe it's just that everything I own basically is thrifted aside from a very #small portion of things (like usually socks for example I get from ebay. wigs from ebay. things that it's hard to find in thrift stores. etc #) and I rarely ever find stuff like that at the bins. Your closest bet is like. hopeing that the week you come in just so happens to also be #a week that a church costume department recently donated a bunch of old stuff. but I just haven't really had much luck finding like fancy ve #sts and suit coats and cloaks or like tunics and etc. etc. #Styles like mori kei or cult party kei are pretty accessible and easy for places like the bins (where youre usually digging through piles of #curtains and fabric scraps and doilies anyway). but finding like.. a straight up tudor england costume or something is . VERY rare #Sometimes you do find halloween costumes. Or like. stuff that's clearly like cheap 'Goth' stuff from shein or aliexpress that someone has do #nated and they can be a LITTLE okay in terms of usable for costumes. But you rarely find actual good quality stuff. obviously because like #real very good quality historical costumes are expensive and most people aren't just like 'yeah dump it off to goodwill' lol #In an ideal world though I would have fancy top hats and neck ruffles and stuff .. know this ghhjbhj #Lack of that will not stop me from taking picturesin basically the same outfit 6000 times though. My one single silky black vest and #one of the two solitary ruffly neck shirts I have every been able to find. #Pointy-ish little boots that I put with everything even thogugh they look terrible up close because they're literally like over 10 yrs old #I bought them so long ago and the black fake leather lining is like peeling off of the outside #ANYWAY #he's back again... the same little generic like elf vampire ruffle shirt with vest look.. might as well be the same guy #I support him and his dumbass disintegrating shoes anyway

made and destroyed a friendship at work today

#significant time passes between each row of panels btw. this took place over 40 minutes #his dad was getting more and more upset that he was dragging me around instead #sorry bud im his dad now #not pictured: me trying to put the shapes on my head and him truly believing i didn't understand his instructions #and so patiently explaining again that i need to *hand* them to him #''so.... not on my head? just in your hands?'' #''YES'' [holds out lil baby hands] #''ohh okay i get it now'' [puts it on my head] #''NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!'' #this was a chill afternoon activity #after all of the fire related nonsense in the morning #my candle on a stick kept going out on the way to the hydrogen so i ended up standing waaaaaaay too close #when it detonated lol #THEN when i went to light the first rocket i discover somebody bought small matches! #short matches! like an inch long i swear. teeny tiny matches #and i had already fumbled several things i didn't have time to go get other matches mid show so i was lik #''everyone think fire resistant thoughts for me real quick!!'' and just ran my hands over the gas flame bc yknow #[aragorn voice] for the bit #AND THEN MY FIRE PISTON WOULDN'T IGNITE #i was making the little kid's face from this comic at that point i swear #coworker snuck in to watch the show and watched my soul leave my body instead #blease. a smidge of energy. god knows i put enough into these damn shows lol

starting to think maybe waking up with an anxiety stomachache every single morning and then needing to spend the entire day trying to get rid of said anxiety just to maybe have a few minutes in the evening of feeling relaxed before going to bed is perhaps not normal

#the first thing i do when i become conscious is check my phone to make sure nothing terrible happened to anyone i love while i slept #i never ever ever have plans and if anyone Else has plans i feel sick with anxiety until they’re back from them #if i have smth planned that week i feel completely tense and on edge until it happens #i didn’t used to be like this i hate hate hate it #i used to feel safe in my little house in the forest where i knew everyone in town and knew my way around with my eyes shut #it’s still the only place in the world i feel safe. that’s so unfair #my separation anxiety is ridiculous. if my mom goes to the store and doesn’t answer a text right away i start panicking #if my sister goes to a class or smth idk what to do with myself until she gets back #if i’m in the shower or have the fan on or headphones in suddenly i’ll think i hear someone shouting and i’ll have to quickly turn it off #ever since i moved here it’s been getting worse. i don’t feel safe here to begin with i feel so out of place it’s unreal #but then covid and trauma with my mother’s health and my uncle dying and multiple relatives getting sick and things happening to my friends #i know i have ptsd from very specific things that happened and i live on a hospital path so every day i hear sirens #and every time i do it fully triggers an anxiety attack in me for at least an hour. and my mom too #since being here my hometown burned and friends i thought would never grow apart did and my brother moved out #i know a lot of that is just Being In Your Low Twenties but also some of my worst trauma has happened in the last handful of years and now #now i’m just always scared. always uneasy. always worried. never fully relaxed. never feel fully safe. & idk how to be myself through that #i’m always paranoid and i never trust people irl anymore. ppl my mom or sister meet. i am so suspicious of them constantly. #if anything small changes at all i can’t handle it. my ability to deal with change has gone so downhill #in the last 5 years of being here i realised i was autistic which led to me unmasking a bit and that. comes with pros & cons doesn’t it #my own health has declined. my body changed a lot in ways i wasn’t prepared for and i had to get rid of most of my comfort clothes #sometimes i just wanna sit on the ground and cry about it and not have to also be the one that picks myself back up. y’know??? #but at the very least i’d love to just wake up One Day w/o feeling sick with anxiety already. just one day i want to wake up feeling rested #i want to be myself again but can i start with not being scared? not being tired? i don’t know what to do anymore #i just watch my comfort videos and read my comfort fics and stay in my daydream world

Hi there! I really hope you don't take this the wrong way, but I happened to come across a few of your Tumblr exclusive ficlets, and I couldn't help but notice that they could use a bit more editing.

I mean, don't get me wrong, your other works are usually more polished with better grammar. Do you maybe skip editing your short stories? It just makes them a little hard to read is what I'm saying.

Not really sure what way I was supposed to take this but ok.

I edit all my work, but I'm dyslexic as hell, and editing is really hard for me, even with programs like Grammarly. I rely on my editor/ beta reader, but I don't always have her edit it unless it's going on AO3.

Anyone who knows me well enough knows that this topic is a particularly sensitive one for me and I find it irksome. Not really sure what you were angling for when you sent this, but I hope it's not too hard to read. (sarcasm)

#Sorry if my work is ever to hard to read I suppose #My brain just has a really hard time knowing where to put stuff #idk I got bullied a lot by teachers and kinds for it when I was in school #the sting from that never really went away #and now I react more intensely than I should when it happens again #But hey now I have people who love me who help me! #I have a best friend who edits for me and people seem to enjoy my stuff despite the sometimes poor editing #and there are lots of programs that help now #I just hate the small reminders that seem to haunt me #if the person who wrote this actually reads tags just reevaluate your priorities or touch grass or something #you try writing when letters randomly switch places with each other and jump all over the page lol

damian using his art skills for evil and drawing timber in an awful 90s yaoi artstyle (yes the proportions are awful and the hands are nightmarish)

he gives it to tim in front of bernard so tim isn't able to tear it up or even say anything bad about it

it's on bernards fridge now and tim is forced to look at it everytime he comes over

#damian wayne #tim drake #if i a young kid with the ability to torment my siblings by drawing them as a freak i would #god i would do it all the time #damian: brother please accept this. #bernard: aw he drew us ^^ #tim: you motherfucker #damian would definitely use his love of anime for petty torment #i bet that despite the godawful proportions its actually pretty good #frustratingly so for tim #the amount of effort that went into it is not small but tim would rather bite off his own tongue than acknowledge it #as he should. as a younger sibling i would do this. but as an older sibling i would fucking destroy my sister if she did this to me #how does one even recover from this? you dont #you run away and dont let your other siblings find out #but then it becomes everyones contact photo for your SO and its just everywhere. #theres a copy on the fridge. theres a copy at work. its in the batcave. #you cant escape. #idc if its doesnt make sense i would kill for this to happen #(tags all over the place but i dont give a shit. if ur reading this far you probably dont either) #(i woke up and wrote this so i hope it makes sense when i read it in the morning) #(i go mimis now)

everyone here knows me, but I don't know anyone

#i hope himeko would at least compensate the discomfort somehow #vent art? i havent drawn distressed hov in a while #been to carp festival which didnt even have carps #it was second time i started crying in public place this year #dad having great time talking to people he knows and listening to music he likes #and i was just. standing there #waiting for him to finish talking and barely hearing anything in the overall noise #inside of my throat deadass vibrating from the loud music #when i wanted to get him to buy me a small toy cat as compensation for discomfort bc i didnt take my own money #he said its 'for kids' #i just went straight back to car with sunglasses hiding my tears #get angry at me refusing your every activity suggestion but laugh at me when i say what i want to do. ok #honkai impact #kiana kaslana #herrscher of the void #murata himeko #i dont think hov would know any of people kiana knows except for mei and idk theresa

this is going to be an annoying rant so feel free to ignore it but so actually are there no good universities in all of the united states that don't leave you in lifelong debt?????? like hello???????? everywhere i look at that seems interesting and doesn't have reviews talking about how no one cares about you and you're on your own the entire time you're there or the staff/students are -ist/-phobic or no one does work and just goes to parties or other such things they're talking about the expenses. i want a degree because i need one if i want to do anything but i don't know if i want it enough to be in debt for my whole life. and why is the us like this. i just want to go somewhere else this country does not seem worth it to me. i want to go back in time and find a way to sink every european colonizer ship that landed on the land of the americas

#genuinely the more i look at college prices the more reasonable it feels to just go overseas somewhere instead... japan #if i'm gonna be paying at LEAST 15000 a semester wherever i go why don't i go do that in japan where i'm actually passionate about the #language and have reasons to use it and a potential to do something with it and can get places without a car and. etc #and the 15000 semester is a 15000 YEAR #only reasons the idea of being in america has ever appealed in the slightest to me is that it's a little easier to be openly queer #in certain places. not all of them! #and it's probably one of the most racially diverse places #whenever i look online people say that degrees in japan aren't worth anything but i feel that might just be them being racist #surely there are numerous people who went and got degrees in japan and are living happily. and idk bc they aren't on reddit #or posting on blogs or anything #god i feel UGHHHHH i hate everything #i know that as a Country with History japan is not particularly better than the us i know #but it's just the small things like being able to get places w/o cars and not have to pay an arm and a leg to heal like a small cut i got #that needs to be stitched. or not paying my whole body to pay off the debt of going to college because getting an education is #just not what they. want from you. they want your soul and your entire life in their hands #why am i living in this world #1 am thoughts i know but god

if anyone believes in the bullshit kjh put out i pray for you that you never work in a field in which you'd need help from unions

#kjh #pjm #project moon #lawsuit parties are hard long arduous and many times not worth it #most victims in unfair workplace treatment give up on their prosecution or just have mutual agreement with the company because of that #theyre tired. theyre traumatized. they want things over. but lawsuits can take up to years and years of fight that its not easy #so what the union and pmau where trying to do was to find a middleground between pm and their workers #the union basically said ill tell the world that we were mistaken about your firing of vellmori #and in place you have to promise us youll treat your workers right and protect them from cyber bullying #what pm did was to release the middleground. the promise between them and the union that was still #taking place and use it as a “proof” that the union was mistaken and the firing was legal #it has no fucking legal power the image literally has 초안. draft at the top of it #so the union and pmau are answering with i guess our promises are broken. lets take it to court like you want to #what part of it does it sound like the union was trying to wrongly prosecute pjm? to me it sounds more like pjm are cowards #if you guys still want to protect kjh and pm i really pray that you wont be mistreated at work #because you wont be able to protect yourself from the treatment your workplace will give you #pjm is not the small indie company it used to be anymore

OOF the girl asked the question OUT LOUD with a microphone in her hand

damn that's bold.

#holy shit im appalled. this lady is going places #tbh i was so schocked and uncomfortable for her that I closed the video immediately because I COULDN'T BEAR #(yes I hide in the presence of greatness. it's a fact) #but DAMN #to go there and voice it out with your face exposed #bc this was a matter that always made me very uncomfortable. but it's not my relationship so none of my business so I try to put it aside #but as someone whose parents HAVE dated ppl with a small age gap from me I can say: IT'S FUCKING WEIRD #and bear in mind that my parents have a much smaller age difference from me than MS and Lily. but still. it feels so uncomfortable #Anyway shout out to Brave Lady who asked the question that lingers in the back of our minds #I'm not totally sure if I find it invasive or not but still. RESPECT.
