reminder that numbers and notes do not define your writing. i want you to stop limiting yourself. when you write freely, you don't care about how it will do on tumblr or how many notes it will get. you do it for yourself because you always wanted to write it. trust me on this because the best fic i've written is at 227 notes but a random headcanon got 13k. but you know what? in the end, i always find myself thinking about the reblogs and comments under the 227 one. so don't let the numbers get to your head. you are amazing.

#when i was younger on tumblr in 2020 i made a post and it got attention and i liked that feeling because it validated me #so i started overworking and getting frustrated thinking maybe i am not enough if smtg didn't get the numbers i wanted #but it's been 3 years and my perspective has changed. i read a stsg and csm fic that had like notes under 100 #but they were so beautiful and it made me sob it didn't have more notes because they were amazing. my moots wrote them #so i left all my love in the reblog and then they responded w so much luv and gratitude that i understood it is never about the numbers #pasi.txt

My favorite part about RWBY right now is how literally everyone stuck in the Ever After is experiencing the absolute Most on opposite ends of the spectrum.

Ruby is going through it. She’s jaded and traumatized. Hasn’t smiled in weeks. Lost her purpose. Doesn’t have a will to live. Etc.

Weiss? Just so fucking over it all. Everything keeps happening and it’s SO DUMB and SO INCONVENIENT. Why does nothing make sense here?

Yang and Blake? Thriving. Making out. Honest with their emotions and living their best lives kissing in a field of magic lilies.

Jaune? Homeboy just lived several years alone on an island suffering as his belief in all things good evaporates. He has gray hairs.

And like. We still don’t even know what’s going on in Remnant. Nora and Ren think two of their teammates are dead now? Penny got juiced. Winter is the Maiden. Is Qrow ok???

I miss Pyrrha.

#RWBY #Weiss being the comedic relief of this season was unexpected but amazing #also the bees kissed so I feel validated #someone help ruby tho dear god

How do you get so much love for your Cyberpunk 2077 screenshots? I spend hours posing, setting up lights etc etc but I get 0 love. Ok, I'm definitely not a professional photographer, but 0? Teach me, plsssss.

Oh my goodness, I need to gather my thoughts for this because as someone whose struggled with this for a long time, I understand 100% how you feel right now and I just want to give you a bit of advice.

I'm not a professional either, and what I mean by struggle is that when I first came into this fandom I came in with nothing. I hardly got any notes or any recognition for my posts as well.. Granted I was on console and console users sadly don't get the love they deserve, and I think they deserve just as much love if not more from people, and that doesn't happen, it's a fact.

When I started using mods and got on PC, I still barely got anything, and it started becoming a struggle for me because I fed off of validation and approval from others, and that is something I still struggle with to this day, maybe not as much, but I def still do and I think most people in this fandom do. No one can say they don't crave validation, we ALL do, if we didn't we would post n o t h i n g. And while I do agree that we should post for ourselves, we also post because when we do something we are super proud of, we want others to see it and enjoy it as well and there's NOTHING wrong with that at all. We reblog our things multiple times to push it out so other's can see (and because the algorithm truly sucks, just my opinion).

I was desperate for validation because I craved interaction and friendship, that's all I ever wanted, and I wanted to bond with people I have the same interests in and because of my desperate need for it I made enemies, still to this day. It only makes you feel icky on the inside when you're constantly trying to appease others, and while it's normal to want validation, it's not normal to only do it for that and that alone. I don't know who you are anon, and I cannot "teach" you, simply because what you're doing right now is good enough, not even good, it's great & regardless of how many people interact with your VP, you are good enough and you shouldn't stop, because if you love it that's the #1 most important thing. But also don't be afraid to reblog your stuff! Reblog it as often as you like.

Also, P.S.. I am still not always proud of what I do. I still get a little envious, it's human nature, I'm on a shitty laptop with horrible graphics and I can't do much with it, but I love taking VP, it's a passion and I will do it no matter how it looks. You should do it too, the best part of doing it is doing it because you enjoy it with no regrets. Sometimes this fandom will make you feel like you have to be the very best or at the very top for people to interact with you or enjoy your VP/art, and sometimes that's true, mostly it's true... but there are still good people here who genuinely appreciate all forms of VP, whether it's console, modding, gorgeous lighting, no lighting at all, etc. It's all beautiful, and at the end of the day, that validation is gonna come and go anyway. But you will continue to look at your art and go "yeaaaaah, I did that :)"

So please don't feel upset for getting "0" love, cos I promise someone loves it.

#personal #anon asks #cyberpunk 2077 #cyberpunk 2077 fandom #getting personal here and outing my own struggles #because I have nothing to hide and I want to be as transparent as possible and honest when it comes to this type of stuff #please if anyone feels this way know your VP/art is wonderful and amazing #and validation is just a number #and yeah it's normal to want it and we all do #but it's not everything I swear #don't let numbers define you #even if we struggle with it #also feel free to reblog if it resonates

Thinking about Httyd...hot and perhaps too personal take: To me, Httyd was more than anything else a movie about emotional starvation. And Forbidden Friendship was the sweetest, briefest celebration of relief from that.

Afterwards, everybody basically told Hiccup to man up “because that’s just life” and I will never forgive Httyd2 and Httyd3 for that.

#httyd #wherethekiteflies #y'all keep forgetting that Hiccup grew up without a Mom. #In the same day he finds his mother; he loses his Dad. #and the third movie has nothing better to do than to make Hiccup let go of his friend because it's clingy or whatever #to keep the only stable; emotionally available being around that he has ever known. #he's painted as selfish and immature for wanting that. #Neither Astrid; nor Valka; nor Gobber understand Hiccup in the way Toothless did. #Hiccup is simply expected to go without emotional validation or the praise and intimacy he desires for his entire life #because taking responsibility is more important than feeling understood. or whatever. #this boy was granted Forbidden Friendship as the only real hug he ever received... from a dragon who chose him; who stayed with him; #who loved him; who didn't leave or bully or disappoint him. this dragon was the healthiest relationship Hiccup ever had. #and it was judged to be weak. to weaken him as a Chief. when his passion and compassion for Toothless and others were in fact #Hiccup's greatest strengths as Chief. it were those qualities; this sensitivity that made him amazing. #but the plot decided that he needed to become just like Stoick and Astrid and like the Valka who abandoned her dreams & hopes for "reality #how is desiring and needing emotional backup in life void of reality; weak; delusional and too idealistic? #shame on you httyd sequels for never granting this boy what he desired most. and that was honest; unconditional support. #analysis #httyd analysis #rant #hiccup

ppl often relate "What Was I Made For" to Rocket and/or Nebula but i think it's a mantis song.

#i mean its all three #but mantis #:( #brought up as a tool to aid instead of a daughter #her feelings and ideas are never validated by the other guardians #constant scapegoat #she makes me so sad #she must feel so pointless #but shes not #(through tears) shes amazing and i love her and its not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi, I don't use tumblr often, but i when i do, i always check your account to check if you posted something. LIAB is amazing. i truly have no words. i have read a LOT of fanfics from very different fandoms and i can confidently say that Leaving It All Behind is the best one i have ever read. the world you've built around the main characters is so deep, and realistic. even though benders are not real, it feels like i'm reading about true events. you describe the horrors of war and trauma so well. i'm actually very, very impressed. i happen to be a person that suffers from ptsd and other mental illnesses and and the way you portray traumatized characters is very realistic. i know you always say that the main characters' recovery is unrealistically fast, but don't worry about that. the way you describe zuko and sokka's feelings is perfect. their recovery doesn't seem rushed. it just looks like they're adapting and learning how to deal with it fast (we have to remember that the war is still very much happening and sadly they don't have a lot of time to deal with everything that happened to them). i'm so grateful i found your work. it's truly amazing, i hope you won't give up on writing when you finish the LIAB trilogy. have a good day/night

AWWWW OMG THANK YOU <3

seriously this was so kind I’m still in shock. I’m so happy you think the healing arc is realistic because I try to balance the stories pace with the characters struggles and emotions (some of them make it DIFFICULT haha) but I’m always worried it doesn’t translate well.

I have a lot of fun writing LIAB & I’m really glad you like it so much. I hope I continue to make you proud & thank you so much for this amazing ask you made my day <3

#This is so validating you have no idea ahhhh #I have read so many fics where the chatacter (zuko lol) has gone through extreme trauma or torture and he gets rescued or escapes #& then it’s like after a quick patch up job he is essentially back to normal #Which… no. lol. I can’t do it! #Trauma follows a person whether they like it or not & everyone copes differently to it #So even with zuko and sokka going through so much they’ll both handle their trauma completely different #I try to show that lol so I’m glad you like it #I am totally worried about the upcoming battle though #Cause shits about to get really rough #But we are in a fun arc right now (as fun as liab can be it’s a fic about children fighting a war so idk… I’d say 25% fun 75% angst) #So we have a few more fun chapters idk 4/5 and then we are on the home stretch #Idk what I’ll do when it’s over this has been so much fun and I’m so sad it’ll come to an end this year #But thanks again for this amazing ask #Its comments and asks like this that pets the head and makes me feel like a good author lol #Gets me fired up to finish the fic! #Wohoooo thank you !!! #Deansnoodle #Zukka #liab #ITF #RIA #ask #Leaving it all behind

[o-wild-west-wind]

honestly, I’m convinced that at least half the upset about the whole [redacted] situation (other than the reactionary tension of living through a world that is the way it is, but that’s the internet in general) is anger at max for forcing a shorter season that is instead misplaced towards the creatives for trying to execute their full vision under the threat of cancellation. the pacing issues are totally valid, and I get feeling that there was no breathing room for the emotions to sit, and that those factors may have led to the feeling that it was poorly done. just…please don’t harass the writers about that 🙏🏽

if you think they should’ve handled it differently knowing the budget was cut I totally get that, but genuinely—if you had a three act story fully outlined and then were told after act i aired that you only had maybe 70% of your anticipated screentime and resources to execute it, would you rewrite the entirety of your story to adjust to the constraints, or try your best to fit everything in anyway? not saying either option is superior, but I think picking the latter is a reasonable creative choice under those circumstances that anyone would at least consider. and whether or not it worked with the pacing it had is a fair critique, but that’s still not a reason to harass or guilt-trip people. let’s try not to dunk on the person who got a plastic straw while ignoring the billionaires setting the world on fire (and yes that metaphor is extreme but I’ve seen too much homophobia/racism/etc. come out of this echo-chamber to ignore the real-world implications)

#blanket disclaimer that this does not apply to everyone s/o to the people sad but not being mean about it #fwiw I thought it was fantastic aside from the pacing and I’ve talked a lot about why #but I do think some of the criticism is valid #I just don’t like the way people are like. writing open letters to the creatives or harassing their accounts about it #if some of y’all put that energy towards your political representatives…woof. #pro tip start getting involved in political activism irl and it’s amazing how much better being a fan of things will feel #declaring this my last post on the matter unless something new arises because I freaking love this show and am going to just have fun again #although lbr this has been kind of fun because I’m sadistic and unfortunately love debates #ofmd #ofmd season 2 #ofmd spoilers #ofmd s2 spoilers #our flag means death #fandom crit

If you’re plus sized and have a hard time feeling comfortable and confident in your body, I strongly recommended following some plus sized folks with NSFW. Obvi if you’re not comfortable with that, I totally understand but like even just people who post lewds and selfies will make a huge difference.

Like I follow quite a few and it’s like “that person is hot, and they have a similar body to me, so therefore my body is also bangin’” like I feel like seeing bodies like yours can be just so cathartic and validating

#personal #okay to rb #absolutely a game changer #it has helped me feel so much more confident #especially as a femme person like it’s amazing #but I can imagine this would be helpful for anyone #there are also plenty of plus sized folks out here who are getting funky with their gender #which can be validating in a whole new way #plus sized bodies are hot this is a fact #were you thinner before and have gained weight for any reason? #you are still hot regardless and you do not need to lose weight to be attractive #I promise you #this is coming from someone who has been recovering from an ED #and an obsession with my body that literally started when I was like 4 or 5

[miss-midnightt]

I don't want to sound rude, but you can use the message function to DM your friends not to litter the dashboard of everyone who follows you. nobody is interested in your one-on-one conversations. they are not as amazing as you think

Hey—I’d like to preface this by saying this is totally valid, but…I would like you to come out from behind anon so I can know if you actually follow/are moots with me so I know you’re not just a troll. And additionally, you say not to be rude but then you say “they are not as amazing as you think,” which is both totally unnecessary AND rude. Had you phrased it differently, I would have been more inclined to do what you were asking, but I will continue to do so until someone I am mutuals with (because I have no way of knowing who this is) says they are irritated. And I do keep this in mind, mind you. I will consider creating a side blog just for conversation (I feel uncomfortable holding conversations in dms—I don’t mind single conversations but I much prefer ask and answer system for less anxiety) if A MUTUAL expresses that they would like less clutter on their dash, but thus far I have received no complaints and will not do so until a MUTUAL requests I do so.

Don’t mean to sound rude ;)

#Answering at midnight #Oooh first bit of anon hate. If one can call this that! #I wouldn’t respond but this seems like a valid concern #And #anon #if you are a mutual please please tell me #I won’t be mad and there’ll be no hard feelings #I’ll just make a sideblog #But this is probably a troll or someth because who says I don’t mean to be rude #Then says “they are not as amazing as you think” #And the tone was overall kinda passive aggressive at least imo #But I’m not good at reading tone lmao
