Put salt in your baked goods. Put salt in your desserts. Just do it. Please. Salt isn't just for savory, it's literally a flavor enhancer so even a pinch can take a meh recipe to one people can't stop eating. Listen to me. Your cookies and cheesecake bars are bland and uninteresting. I'm taking your hand. I'm guiding you with a gentle touch to the back. We can do this together. Trust me.

#baking #just do it just put THE SALT IN THE COOKIE DOUGH #inspired by the coworker who bragged her recipes dont need salt and brought the blandest cheesecake bars to the potluck #you need some salt i promise #just a little #just skooch #'the recipe doesnt call for salt' THEN ITS PROBABLY WRONG

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

#mental health #mental health support #positivity #if anybody has ideas of their own definitely include them! #i just think being stuck with this feeling that you don't have autonomy and that you ultimately aren't an equal person or a person at all.. #...in comparison to other people can be a really troubling and dangerous place to be in... #...and that isn't the person's fault for feeling that way. they didn't pluck those thoughts out of thin air... #...like i have felt that exact way all my LIFE because i have been abused for. probably 2/3s of my life... #...only within these past few years have i even FELT alive. frankly it's going to take a while to repair what i have been left with... #...so i know the feeling and i want to help others feel even a LITTLE bit alive. you deserve it... #...you deserve to take in a deep breath before slowly realizing 'oh my gd this is what it feels like to be alive' and SMILE about it #i want that for you even if it is brief. even if it is small. even if it is a whisper. i want you to feel alive #unironically getting rid of the idea of 'guilty pleasures' has made my life SO much better

thinking about how they said grover was affected the most out of everyone bc he was alone and how nico and bianca stayed for 70 years inside that hotel and didn't forget each other bc they were always within reach and how that little detail makes their story even more devastating bc they got through it together and the moment they got out they get separated and then bianca never comes back

#they had their memories erased as well but didn’t forget they were siblings #and inside that hotel they could've easily wandered off but they didn’t #u have little nico yelling for her in the bg of this episode and being so excited and they were probably having fun together!!!! #no thoughts head empty just the di angelo siblings #bianca di angelo #nico di angelo #di angelo siblings #pjo #percy jackson #percy jackson and the olympians #pjo tv

Everyone thinks that dick was the golden child when in reality it was Jason.

Clark: Bruce who was your favourite robin?

Dick: obviously it’s me?

Tim: it’s dick

Damian: I am superior robin, it will be me.

Bruce: it’s Jason

Everyone: WHAT?!?!???

Bruce: why are you so surprised? He didn’t jump on too my chandeliers which I had to replace each week

*everyone looks at dick*

Bruce: he didn’t drop out of school

*everyone looks at tim*

Bruce: I didn’t have to stop him from killing everyone who annoyed him

*everyone looks at Damian*

Bruce: in fact, he enjoyed school and handed all his homework in on time, we would spend hours in the library reading his favourite classics. He even helped Alfred with most of the cooking, He was my little boy

Jason: stop spreading lies, I hate you go away

Bruce: my precious little boy

#jason todd #Bruce Wayne #dick Grayson #Damian Wayne #tim Drake #clark kent #Batman #alfred pennyworth #Bruce: he my little baby #jason: I’m 6’2 and have the ability to kill you if I wanted #Bruce: my baby my little son #jason: GOD YOURE SO EMBARRASSING DAD #jason was probably the most behaved child before he went boom boom and I stand by that #he enjoyed school #most likey hated it when he missed it #and he loves classic literature??? #bros a huge nerd #yea dick is all smiles but probably gave Bruce’s near death heart attacks everytime he swung from chandeliers and rooftops #jason just wanted to live his life in the library reading his fav books and homework

IT'S FINALLY FUCKING DONE. I'M FINALLY FREE

UNTIL FRAUD COMES OUT

Tumblr shrinks it down pretty bad so please. please. I am begging you. look at the full sized image and zoom in. This art piece made my friends worried for my mental health I need someone to witness the amount of detail and effort I put into this

also the original sketch under the cut bc I think comparing them is really funny

#my art #ultrakill #stained glass art #gabriel ultrakill #this is one of those art pieces that made me feel like i had a parasitic fungus controlling my brain #one of those art pieces that's gonna require recovery time. i feel like a demon was just expelled from my body #i need to go eat an apple or stand in a river for a little while #i already said it but please. please zoom in on the full sized version #i love this game so much #i just hope i don't hate this by the time its finished lmao #im probably gonna have to adjust the color balance a bit when fraud/treachery come out but i'll cross that bridge when i get to it

pearl drone if she had other specials

#my art #doodle #splatoon #pearl drone #agent 8 #tacticooler probably wouldnt have the instant respawn on it in side order but all the other powerups wouldve been fun #also for splashdown i dont think pearl would use her drone to splash down i think shed just get one of the fists from triple splashdown #and then a little mini raincloud #side order

PENGUINS. all of them!

(not precisely to scale, but close)

#most species have a range of several inches and i was just eyeballin it #re: little vs fairy #wikipedia has them divided into two species (aus vs nz i think) #if this hadn't been so hastily put together i wouldnt have based it solely on wikipedia #and probably would've actually gone with the global penguin society who lists them as one #i'm no expert and have no idea what sort of taxonomical debates are going on & whether this is a hotly contested issue #but i did switch to just one when i updated this for prints and such #penguins #animals #animal art #birds #id in alt #all the things

Saw a post about working class butches in physical labour jobs and wanted to make my own, so: I love you butches who do childcare or early education. I love you butch nurses. I love you butch house cleaners and janitorial staff. I love you service industry butches. I love you butches who do sex work. I love you working class butches who do “feminine” jobs you are cool as hell

#butch #lgbtqia #lesbian #its me im butches doing stereotypically feminine work #when I was nannying full time I kind of thought of it as I was doing Nanny Gender #like especially bc I wore mostly dresses then for practicality reasons #which gave me The Dysphorias but yeah. my way of navigating that was to get a little fluid with it. #also even tho they don’t get perceived as such: all of these jobs are as physically demanding as many ‘physical’ jobs #like girly at least when I worked in a warehouse/delivery bay I got to sit down #look I could probably think of a better term than ‘physical labour’ but like. you know what I mean. #anyway. sometimes you have those I am uncomfortable when we are not about me moments #and then you remember that you can just go talk about your experience

My favorite thing about Annabeth is her wardrobe.

Cause like, Rick simplifies her clothes in a way a man would, and you can tell.

Cause in EVERY book, from The Lightning Thief to Chalice, she’s in the goddamn CHB shirt. With like some shorts or cargo pants. Nothing more, nothing less.

He’s made improvements over the years, giving her some other clothes. But he’ll always come back to old faithful.

Like, he most definitely did it on accident, but he made her so Adam Sandler and I love it

#and she def walks around in basketball shorts and a wife beater #+ the fact that she probably steals Percy’s clothes #like don’t get me wrong she looks awesome #I just think it’s funny #and with Rick’s books you can tell by the fashion that it’s a man writing #AND SHES THE ONLY ONE #besides Jason #Jason also only wears his purple t-shirt #I’m pretty sure he died in it #but everyone else has a sense of fashion #even if it’s a little bit #I love her #she’s so Adam Sandler coded #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo series #pjo hoo toa #pjo tv show #heroes of olympus #pjo #percy jackson #annabeth chase

i love your riddle design so much, he's so pointy and british. so gracious. do you think he would enjoy a brazilian goiabada

thank you! ❤️🖤❤️ it's just. important to me on a level I can't explain that Riddle have an extremely pointy nose that he can stick into everyone else's business.

also goiabada is sweet and fruity and red, I think he would like it very much indeed!

not me stealth-editing because I forgot his antenna whoops

#art #twisted wonderland #me: riddle's nose is important to me (draws him without a nose) #a study in contrasts? #regardless it is my power as a fanartist to let riddle eat sweets and by god i'm going to use it #i also love british riddle. briddle. it's just RIGHT. #i think about how someday the anime will come out and get dubbed and riddle is going to have Generic Anime Boy Voice #instead of the most over-the-top prim little benedict cumberbatch accent like he does in my HEART #and the world shall be poorer for it. alas. #i also think it would be VERY funny if malleus had a super exaggerated french accent because something something french fairytale #i am probably alone in this however #(sorry still trying to catch up on everything!) #(all of my focus has been going towards Deadlines so hopefully i will have space to think...eventually :') #(i still have some main story things cookin' and i JUST finished tsumsted 3: the squeakquel so uhhh) #(there may be a bit of a flood at some point. you've been warned.)

Day 1 and Day 2 of RadioStatic Week

First Meeting and Sharing a meal! I like the idea that Alastor is the one who approached Vox first because of how unique he looks eheh

#hazbin hotel #radiostatic #hazbin vox #hazbin alastor #radiostatic week #radiostaticweek #radiostatic week 2024 #my art #clip studio paint #csp #digital art #hazbin hotel fanart #mostly using this challenge to test out workflows and tools on csp #I tried a different style with more textures! csp has so many more interesting brushes than autodesk sketchbook #I just had to have a little fun with it #that one post that said Vox was probably the first TV that Alastor ever saw was what inspired the first drawing #all the drawings of radiostatic week will be linked together you'll see with how the colors and shape evolve over time! #I'm really proud of this series of drawing I really tried to put some emotional intentions in the color and shape choices #tho I'll be exausted by the end of the week lolol
