#thats the real self care

[socksandbuttons]

Alright have to separate into two posts here, first one is just the baby boys mostly!

We have Solar and Lunar who are were the backups for Eclipse and ... Lunar. Eclipse finds them and they immediately grabby hands that man as their dad. Yes, he does name them. Yes, he might be projecting. And also constantly says he's not their dad (but this is a baby au so-) Anyway he looks after them, totally not becoming more accustomed to healthy family bonding. (He does. You can expect Lunar the ORIGINAL being in disbelief over it.) Expect this tired man to be shopping at 2am somewhere looking for baby toys and clothes. He gets them matching jammies. Cause obviously. No other reason. Both boys are nice to eachother but they've only recently activated, only having each other for like, a bit before Eclipse finds them. Beforehand they may have seen the advertisements for the Pizzaplex's daycare. So they WERE trying to make their way there.

#es those are 'weird' baby monitors. eclipse learned real fast to keep eye on babies so the labs equipment was suitable #he also takes naps with them otherwse he wouldnt get sleep lol single father of two #theres more with how Lunar and sun and moon find them too but UH LATER #sun and moon show #sun and moon show eclipse #sams au #sun and moon show lunar #i mean yeah technically #also he WAS purple originally when i was coloring btw jus hue shifted it #myart #also eclipse just learning to be a little nicer to himself aka thru baby lol thats right sucker LEANR SOME SELF CARE #baby backup au

Hey Baba, it seems like you've been seeing a lot of yucky stuff online right now. A lot of people who aren't remembering their manners and are forgetting that there's people behind a screen. I know you like your screen time but please remember that the world isn't all like that okay? Some people are different online and forget their values and let's remember that these days, algorithms perpously show you things that'll make you upset. Yes, yes it's not very fair, is it sweetheart. Please remember to take some breaks and that the world isn't really like that. It's so important to protect yourself. Yes, silly even if you think you don't deserve it; because you do.

kind of messed up that the beginning of my 20s has been swallowed up by covid-times. i rly dont have the energy to dwell on it or spiral abt it like i have better things to worry about and am too sleepy but it is kind of fucked up when i think abt it

#(turned 23 on thursday. i am old and a child all at once) #im not real anymore anyway who tf care. i will draw pictures #one concern though bc im the age where adult onset of certain mental disorders tend to show up and my brain is being a little sillay #sillier than usual.....hm. mostly ok #kiddo say #i am doing self discovery as per this age anyway tho. due to top surgery last yr n stuff so thats ok. all u can do is move forward

[caffeinatedopossum]

As someone who has (supposedly) been actually tortured, I do think it's fair to use a word as extreme as torture to refer to the mental anguish that one can experience

#self contained (?) mental anguish i mean since psychological torture is very real #it takes a lot for physical pain to get to the point that you want to kill yourself about it #now im questioning if i deserve to be able to say this >_< #listen this isnt pain Olympics. someone did have it worse than me im sure and i dont particularly care #unless that person is literally you and you want to have a productive conversation about it #thats actually encouraged tbh #im just tired of people talking for the people who 'had it worse' when in reality those people are usually very kind and understanding

People will be like 'oh you go to uni, you must be smart!' mate, I've never met people with less common sense than uni students. Though what else would you expect when you stick a load of sleep deprived, overwhelmed, young adults together

#Uni shenanigans #yeah sure i can write you an essay no problem will it make an grammatical sense? no. #is that because i wrote it in the early hours of the morning the day of the dealine? absolutely. #do i understand the necessity of a balanced diet and throwing away out of date food? yes. #does the majority of the student populace ignore this? also yes but thats to be expected when poor budgeting leads to low grocery funds #listen am i well aware of the importance of proper time management? of course i am #and yet i continue to make the dumbest decisions imaginable causing myself unbearable levels of stress #because i am an adult child left alone to my own devices and #school prepared me real well for taking exams but not for taking care of myself in a way that isnt at least a lil self destructive #wouldnt believe the kinds of things i deem optional when i have a task to do cus putting myself last has been hammered into me my whole life

[piosplayhouse]

Not going to get involved in the ao3 politics shit but I just want to say after reading some of the top posts on this site I can tell most of the people talking about this subject very clearly did not experience Sexytimes With Wangxian

#honestly though despite how you feel about rhe big topics i havent seen much discussion about how The Candidate just... doesnt seem #experienced to be working that position at all? just objectively reading her interview she says she has NO experience working online #even communicating with slack or such; self proclaimed fandom newbie etc #like I can't tell you what to think about the big issues but like if you wanted to hire someone to work at your local dog shelter #and you interviewed them and they said they only really just started interacting w dogs and they had never had any experience #with dealing with caring for animals at all or the adoption process.. would you hire them lol #anyway just my 2 bits #ao3 #ao3 discourse #also hiding this at the very bottom of the tags bc i dont want to catch heat but i actually dont think people are aware so just to qualify #the rpf rhat got ao3 banned in china was not about a real life minor . i see a lot of people talking about minor rpf and i think its weird #as shit too personally but just to get facts right the rpf that allegedly sparked the ban was about a 30yr old adult man #idk if that changes anything but just putting that out there #oh ok also im getting intel that the reason the fic was mass reported and ao3 wS subsequently banned was because the fic #featured one of the actors as trans. so thats a frightening addition if true

another thing I enjoy about asmos character is that we get hints about some of his past romantic relationships

Im sure the other brothers have engaged with others in the past but actually getting to read about it is interesting to me

#obey me asmodeus #i wanna learn everything about this character hah #it makes him feel more real the more info i get #also this info in particular makes sense for his type of character #being the avatar of lust and having so much love in his body #and ik it sounds weird cause #“ahh this is a self indulgent dating game we dont wanna hear about them being interested in others or having past lovers" #but i think it ENHANCES the importance of asmo falling for MC in the end (thats the whole point of “flirty” types tho) #also im nosy...im down to know! #trying to date changed my brain chemistry #me before would have not cared i think #anyways i refuse to believe none of the brothers other than asmo havent been interested in anyone other than mc #like only mc? #are u sure.... #idk how to say it without sounding mean #but....thousands of years of existence and u never looked at anyone else other than mc? #no crushes even? #if they were aromantic it would make sense but they aren't cause mc (and even then people can experiment) #ik its fictional self indulgence but...it feels so unrealistic i cant take it seriously #when a character is only capable of falling in love with mc #and apparently NO ONE ELSE in the whole wide world #im already like “...hmmm naur” but now factor in that the character is not human and has been around for a very long time.... #like theyve had to met so many people by now please be for real right now #well thats my spiel but i feel like i can keep rambling about this honestly

[butchviking]

one thing i truly do not know where i stand on is the ability 2 change legally documented gender. someone throw some opinions at me so i can figure out wtf i think abt that

#i know i do NOT support the ability 2 just up and change it based on self-id #but im like. ok obviously if someone looks totally male but it says female on their ID they are going 2 have some issues #and they can b put in very real dangerous situations there #but i also very much support the need for sex-specific services. so how does that figure in #and i ALSO think transmen should generally have a right to access most female-specific services so how does THAT figure in #and u get issues w medical treatment w certain things being/not being covered or available depending on if ur male or female #transmen being refused pregnancy care or gyno care bc their documentation says male #i think w medical stuff the issue is pretty much solved by adding extra options on documentation - male/female/ftm/mtf #but that wouldn't solve the issue in other areas #like u cant just make someone walk around with an ID declaring that theyre transgender thats so scary thats none of anyones business

[rin-enjoyer]

"oh sakura is the rin of team 7 cuz they're both gealers" "naruto is the rin of team 7 cuz they're both optimistic" WRONG sasuke is the rin of team 7 on account of they both equate "having goals" with "being a person."

#do you see my vision #guys who hinge their entire identity on what they set out to accomplish lmao lmao #i mean everyone's a little guilty of that but they're by far the worst offenders #nohara “if i want to throw the earth into the sun surely i will get a good grade in being a person” rin #and uchiha “i am an avenger i will kill my brother i wll fulfil my purpose and then like. die i guess” sasuke #its the trauma <3 and the masks <3 and the assumptions that somewhere deep down they have a “real self” #(they dont cuz thats not how personing works. but they think they do. and they're very put out because they cant find it) #i just think they're neat :3333 #oh kakashi is sakura of course of course (aughhhh self flagulation aufg augh) #and naruto is obito. i guess cannon can have that one. #mann naruto makes me sad. golden retrivor of a guy who wanted to change things #but got beat down by the system he wanted to challenge until he was complicit in it. sad! #anyways someday i will compile my thoughts on how rin and sasuke disengage witg the shinobi system #by just. having different values. and Not Caring about that junk #i mean dont get me wrong theres smth wrong with both of them still. its just like. a different #weird problem #ok cool. walks off into the ocean

[megatraven]

i finally dragged myself out of bed to grab a chocolate bunny that ive been saving since easter (it's so cute i didnt want to eat it :(( but alas) and i opened the blinds to let the sunlight in woo!!

#meg speaks #ALSO be proud of me when i made food earlier i washed my dishes immediately #instead of leaving them in the sink for days 👍 self care is real #AND AND i refilled my waters so i will no longer be dying of thirst #i wish i could but a little dance emoji from discord here in my tags #but just picture the club penguin dance. thats what im doing in the tags rn

[stealingpotatoes]

the way i paint (which could be described as "if a recently beheaded chicken had a paintbrush taped to it") means that there's always a very pronounced Ugly Stage and the final thing looks Nothing like it lmao

#be careful who you call ugly in middle school or whatever!! #also wow oc art! except its just me commenting on it so not rlly even posting it #whatever i'll tag it like oc art #oc #original character #briseia iníncathán #the dead prince #my doods #corel painter #semirealism #wip #tho only the 1st is a wip the 2nd is not a wip thats done #process #i would pretend that i'll start posting oc art again one day but let's be real i'll probs get self conscious and never do that

[linthehero]

“are you okay lin” no bitch im thinking about blame and bryce

#not in a ship way #that would be weird #but their dynamic is so underrated and i miss them #i wish they had more time together in blame the hero #just like one more episode. #bryce began to genuinely care about him and nobody talks about it #obviously she’s still her usual heartless self #but for someone who’s been shown time and time again putting herself before anyone else (at least in this timeline) #her sacrificing herself to protect blame from bobby and allowing him to escape? that’s huge for her dude #now we have the new timeline where theyve never crossed paths and probably never will #GRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. sad. #fuck it canon cant stop me #thats her grown ass adopted bastard if you tell me otherwise i will be very CROSS #blame finally adopted real #i wish. i fucking wish. #bryce tankthrust #blame hernandez #blame the hero

[non-plutonian-druid]

have a delores thought:

an Interesting Thing about delores is that she (looks like grace and the handler) is extremely dressed up. even this bb delores has perfectly styled hair and, from what we can see, a full face of makeup. One interpretation is that fives Ideal Lady is perfectly put together at all times etc etc unexamined sexist bullshit so on and so forth. Which is possible! but

my preferred interpretation is that five is once again projecting, like the fanon about the sequins. for the vast majority of his life, five could not afford to look nice or even presentable. not even “afford”, he had no choice no matter how badly he wanted to. And he did want to! Five cares about his appearance! It falls to the wayside when more important things are on the line, but when he has the space to, he likes to look nice! For proof i submit to the jury the mustache and the little hat that commission five had. The ability to dress up and make choices about your appearance is so little compared to constantly not having access to food or shelter or basic necessities or healthcare (or like, literally even a single other human person ever) but its a basic mode of self expression that he’s been robbed of his whole life. And that is why delores looks fancy thank you for coming to my ted talk

#this is a Discord Thought ive been sitting on and decided yeah i wanna make a tumblr post about it #tua #the umbrella academy #five hargreeves #dolores tua #i presume the five section of this fandom does not need to be convinced that five cares about his appearance at this point but #in case you do #i submit before the jury #old fives mustache and little hat #the suit can be explained by being required by the commission #but the mustache? thats a choice about his appearance. it requires upkeep. its not necessary to appear presentable. and neither is the hat #and the hat has a little feather in it! #fives chosen form of self expression via appearance is to look fancy!!! as a way to push back against the apocalypse!!! #and possibly because fanciness has been his main exposure to How A Person Can Look from the commission???? #would he make different choices now that hes out in the real world and has other options??? would it influence the way he imagines delores? #thats a different post actually #tua s3 spoilers #s3 spoilers #tua spoilers #this barely counts as spoilers im pretty sure theres plenty of virtually identical posts #that just use the sequins thing as a jumping off point instead #but still

[simmaster]

my favourite parts of all the president's men are easily whenever dustin hoffman sits like a slut

#dustin hoffman is a piece of shit and from what i know the real carl bernstein isn't the greatest guy in the world #so to me the film version of bernstein is completely fictional guy who is my wife. and also still kind of an asshole but thats fine <3 #despite the fact that ive seen atpm 20 (!!!) times now i barely post about it all my thoughts are in my google docs #and i am slightly self conscious posting about it. which is bizarre considering all the other shit i've posted and never felt embarrassed b #and i dont really mind when my posts get zero notes bc i know when im making a post no one care about. idk. strange. #micah.txt

[worldsquietestjojosfan]

As much as I always wished for a South Asian side of the fandom

....I'm not letting go of my incest ships

I've mentioned right? Rn south Asian fandom is slowly emerging

They're at the stage where rpf is a-okay but age gap ship of two adults is "pedo coded"

Yk what I mean? The hyper fiction IS reality until it's about ATEEZ fucking then it's whatever

Like from what I remember, it's how fandom was like 10 yrs ago

Should I sacrifice the south asians

Or the incest

I don't need a cultural and language connection tbh. I'll die without the brotherfucking tho

Imagine a post apocalyptic world where you see two traumatized brother and you can't even make them suck eachothers dick because you have self imposed duties to essentially help cultivate a little garden

Oh hell nah

Sad. Some sacrifices must be made

It's nice knowing they exist. I'll see them again in another 10 yrs

But also

I could have so much social interaction in fandom if I pretended to have "normal" ships

I'm kinda tempted. Fandom isn't fun at all when someone's not breathing their headcanons and ideas into my ear and enabling my own shitty ideas. Without that, fandom is a chore and a complete torture

Maybe I should say bye bye to the ships

Or solve both. I don't need to pick one when I can abandon both

It's such a decision indeed

Much think

#some words #i want to leaveeeee it does not spark joy #ok then bitch leave #nah but i like the source material #ill be gone within 3 months tops #im not self sustaining #i dont hate what i make. i just dont care #i wish i liked what i made tho then i could just sit in a corner by myself #i have too much free time but im done with work. hmmmm #ill go do someone else's work #ill go get into jjk or some shit. my brother is into it he can be my hype man #ill do his homework for every 20 minutes he talks to me about his headcanons or whatever #see i would quit forever and never join fandom again if i had any other 'hobby' besides drawing #let go of me bitch! i dont want to draw but i cant do anything other than draw #now you can watch me lose my soul again real time #im being held hostage by this fuckass thankless craft help #have you ever sat alone with a corpse of someone youve never known? its so lonely bc that was a person but not for you #thats an object to you but a person to others. in its presence youll never see her #thats what art and fandom is to me #if i could personify my ability to draw and brutally murder it i would #but the drawings themselves idrc they just exist. they are. ok then. be. whatever
