its sonics turn! 👅

#sonadow #shadow takes his job very seriously #do not test a guy who has a 20 step skincare routine #sonic is definitely a scruffy little thing who damn near never brushes himself #shadow will make sure!!! that he is left shiny and smelling like freshly ironed laundry instead of dirt #idk there is something so....cute about this that i have never thought about before and i think shadow despite being a hybrid is #much better at doing things like this and less bashful compared to sonic who is just a stinky guy by default #he would be grumpy but very nurturing. i think it would give him a sense of calm to bond like this #sonics of course a little taken aback at his enthusiasm but its a pleasantly welcome surprise from someone like shadow esp #idk what level the relation between them would have to have progressed to for sth like this to even happen but yknow #simply. when he licc. it makes my heart melt #i almost cried drawing this.....i love shadow.... #almost forgot to tag #sonic the hedgehog #shadow the hedgehog #my art

I don’t think there’ll ever be anything funnier than being incredibly trigger-happy with my theming online despite barely never. actually having the time to be consistently online.

#it’s fine i take 2 hours to get ready every morning for law school this is only expected. #i think the only time i’m not in some state of unnecessary adornment is when i sleep. #and even then i have my surma and my headwrap and my skincare routine and my lipbalm and my night perfume. #i can be somewhat high maintenance in the sense that appearances mean quite a lot to me. #even if it’s just details that’ll be insignificant in the long run or don’t really mean anything to others around me. #i like to keep it this way. #law is always my main priority but as long as it doesn’t interfere with my responsibilities? i indulge myself as much as possible. #woman who spends more time reworking her themes than actually posting voice: actually I miss the red. #i miss my red; tails. i miss it a lot #🥀

so tired of romanticising being pale. i think we'd all benefit from stepping away from that

"oh their alabaster skin/white like a victorian ghost/just blinding in the sun" type of thing? good for you if it resembles a porcelain doll, but i have skin conditions and the line between it looking okay, maybe kind of cool to sickly is as thin as the violet-blue veins on my thighs. cannot stress this enough, it's a raw chicken situation when you don't put the balm on. the strawberry legs after shaving are just there, being strawberry. the discoloration alone can take you seeing all the colors like green, yellow, violet, pink etc hues. get yourself a nice sunburn from half an hour of direct sunlight for the whole packet. every bigger bruise looks like the whole limb needs amputating? and all of these are neutral bodily things! i just wish i saw normal pale skin that doesn't look like fine china around more

#body acceptance #body positivity #body neutrality #skincare #if this reads self-deprecating it really isn't!! i've mostly accepted that's the way my skin works #and laughing about it helps take it less seriously #not even going deeper into the racism assiociations of being “proud to be pale"?? because. what the hell #inb4 white girl problems #reading some fiction rn and if i see one more time the absolutely high fantasy way of depicting skin. i may lose it #i don't need your skincare routine girl i need you to be more real with the genetic lottery #maybe push the limits of what you're exposed to and challenge those beliefs a lil?? #i know i have to create my own better representation etc etc but still #marcela talks #personal

diggs/allen

#diggs: always trying to match a certain aesthetic even when hes mad #walks around the house wearing sequined ruby red outfits expensive clothes dresses up even to go nowhere #wakes up 5 hours early before morning even starts to get ahead on his skincare routine and STILL has to rush out the door #touching up on his teeth flossing using the car mirror to help #whines and moans abt his beauty products running low until someone else has to go out and buy more for him #vs wake up 1 minute before i have to leave .. say bye to my dogs.. then leave josh #no brushing teeth no shower no clothes prepicked out #he eats his peeling dead skin to replenish his new skin #cant spend more than 1 second doing anything. needs to be on the move learning. no time for preening !! #it drives diggs crazy but diggs also is a sucker for adventure so they somehow work #josh drives trying not to crash while diggs insists on trying to AT LEAST apply some chapstick on those lips PLEASE josh PLEASE #he grabs his chin and makes him turn to face him despite allen needing to see the road #josh lets him #they crash (out of the playoffs) #diggs/allen

I sometimes question whether I really DO have sensory issues like… for example the single most common experience people with sensory issues seem to share online is hating the way socks feel and that just doesnt apply to me man. I LOVE wearing socks. I actually always put on socks the second I wake up or I have to walk to the kitchen barefoot feeling the floor stick to my feet and risking stepping in five to ten grains of sand I might’ve dragged in the night before, two of my absolute LEAST favourite sensations that will make me uncomfortable and uncomfortably aware of them until I get rid of them. Wait

#Is it relevant to mention that my two closest and most long standing friends #(with both of whom the friendship was either/both kicked off by or/and kept going by the fact we were kind of outcasts #and kind of weird in kind of the same ways) #are both probably getting eval’d for autism lol #Like… does neurodivergence do the same thing as queerness does where you’re just drawn to each other even if you don’t Know yet #z talks #not horse game #anyway. I’m gonna go do my skincare routine and then take a nap.

Does anyone who washes their face with just water, not product cleansers, have any skincare routines they'd be up for sharing? What works for you?

#rant #skincare #look i wrote a big rant then didnt post it #but needless to say. i know a decent portion of men and kids and ppl who dont need makeup remover #definitely are washing face with just water #but when i looked up ANY SKINCARE TIPS THIS WEEK #all the results included cleansing face 1-2 times a #day with a product AND acted shocking if they implied even one of those two washes Maybe is better #for ur skin if its just water. no kidding! over cleansing can often dry skin and be one of the #causes of skin barrier damage! #im trying to heal my skin barrier and i am not using cleanser #1 because all soaps alchohol containing products saliyic acid type drying studf turn my skin red itchy and dry #(im very sensitive to stuff that dries skin). and 2 my oil cleanser which id normally use yo remove coverup makeup #i dont think totally rinses from water. which creates its own acne isse #so ive stopped all coverup makeup for now as that causes acne in me if not removed #and i know water wont fully remove it (it will remove like 80-90% thkugh cause i buy #non waterproof water base concealer exactly SO it will come off easier if i wash with water) #my point is im wearing NO makeup rn. so i just need a routine to put on moisturizer to heal skin #without making my skin worse. #i know a decent chunk of ppl gotta be doing routines like mine. how did They heal their skin barriers and deal with #irritations causing redness and fixing that ToT

tmw you have to block radfems for being anti vegan and block vegans for being anti feminism.

#:') #i am so lonely #i have like 3 vegan radfem moots #which is more than i have ever had in my life #i love you girlies so so much really #but god #it is so disheartening to have to block big bloggers in an already niche community #it is sooooo severely isolating #imo you really cant be radfem if youre still supporting animal agriculture #cows and hens. #but just the act of raising an entire living being just to murder them as a toddler. not even reaching adulthood. #i can kinda get why all vegans wouldnt be radfem but like. idk. #like vegans fretting over making sure they have vegan makeup. and their 100+ step skincare routine is all cruelty free #why would you be worried about it when you could just not wear it at all.

I think more people need to hear that not everyone needs to wash with soaps and cleansers (besides your hands which come into contact with more pathogens and also touch our eyes/mouths), water and a gentle scrub with your hands or a soft cloth is gonna be just fine most of the time, especially if you have dry or sensitive skin.

I find that when my pits get too stinky for just water and I have to use soap/cleanser on them, I'm more likely to get bo sooner and worse after, and I have to scrub them and use deodorant more between showers until everything resets.

nothing wrong with soap and cleansers but it really feels weird and like a marketing scam that they're treated like using them once or twice a day on your face and body is the default, when just washing with water makes more sense as a default and doesn't have the risk of causing sensitivities or damaging your skin barrier.

#the only default skincare routine that makes sense is washing gently with water #from there you can figure out if you need cleansers or moisturizers or whatever. #I have dry skin and eczema and occasional acne and using even the gentlest of cleansers has never done anything but aggravate these things #using a face cleanser really made my acne sooooo much worse when I tried to do it regularly for a bit #a gentle scrub with water really does get most of the gunk off #and you WANT some oil and dead skin cells left on your skin. that helps protect it.
