sometimes i stalk fancy bakery instagram and

#actually we SHOULD normalize celebrating the end of a bad or mediocre relationship #congratulations on getting your life back! #congratulations on no more wasted time and heartache! congrats on no more throwing away effort on someone who is not worth it! #that is PROGRESS bitch

Tashi having the most potential out of all of them with the drive and knowledge to be great but having to stop because of forces outside of her control. Patrick having so much potential in his younger years but was never able to coral his raw talent into greatness making him a washed up athlete. Art having the potential to be better but his confidence and lack of drive stops him from truly reaching his peak. And it’s crazy because art’s the only one fine with not being a tennis great, but he knows that kills Tashi which kills him.

#challengers being about wasted potential and looking back at your life is fucking me up #tashi duncan #patrick zweig #art donaldson #challengers

'It is a pity you should do nothing all your life . . . ' 'What am I to do?' . . .  'At any rate you might marry.' 'Oh, yes;—I could marry. There's no man so poor but what he can do that. The question would be how I might like the subsequent starvation.'

Anthony Trollope, from Can You Forgive Her?

I know it shouldn't surprise me, but it's frustrating af to step outside the fandom and read about OFMD's cancellation on more general entertainment sites and see the majority of reactions be along the lines of "oh well it was probably Taika being over it, he always gave me the ick anyway so, whatever," and then often devolving into comments about his personal life, or conspiracy theories that can be disproven if you use your brains for 30 seconds or maybe step outside and touch grass idk idk.

And this isn't me saying "omg how could you dislike Taika" bc truly unless you're being racist or antisemitic (which, let's be real, many are), I don't give a fuck what you think about him.

But the point remains that if you have a show that is all about celebrating queer joy and finding yourself later in life, that has a diverse cast of characters in terms of race, ethnicity, sexuality, and body type, that was WRITTEN by a diverse group of writers, that is receiving praise from critics and fans alike, that from all reports was one of Max's most successful shows despite them doing next to no promotion the first season, that had two successful seasons and the creator is on the record saying he had a plan to tell the entire story in three, and it gets CANCELED.

I don't give a fuck how you feel about Taika, or how you feel about OFMD. You SHOULD be concerned about that. Because your show is next.

And before you come at me with "it's just a show, have you seen what's happening in the world?" Yeah. I fucking have. And the arts matter. They have always mattered. It's how we've shared stories and fostered communities and passed down what's important to us as a society. And they've brought us joy. And I don't know about you, but I think we could all do with a fuckton more joy in our lives.

This is absolutely a huge loss, and unfortunately it's not going to be the last as streaming services continue to go deeper in crisis. If that doesn't concern you, idk, go enjoy yourself watching season 47 of The Bachelor.

#also truly if you're going to come on here and immediately start spouting the very nonsense I described above #kindly get fucked #and then do something productive with your life like calling your representatives or donating or going to a protest #you being a dick to people who are upset isn't going to do anything #your smug self-righteousness isn't going to save the world #the world sucks and people should be allowed to experience joy by watching a show where they feel represented #and anyway if you try it on this post or in my inbox I won't be engaging I'll just be blocking #so you're wasting both of our times #byeeeee!!! #ofmd

it would be so funny if protocol was genuinely just an office comedy and we spend five seasons paranoid out of our minds and literally nothing happens

#everyone’s just chilling at their weird job and we’re like WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN and it Doesn’t mean anything #jonny n alex are grinning at us like lmao you just wasted 3 years of your life freaking out for No Reason! #tmagp #the magnus protocol #jaspers rambles

The tough thing about boundaries is that it’s not enough to state them, you have to enforce them.

I think some folks see “setting boundaries” as a kind of magic talisman to influence other people’s behavior. “I’ll tell you what I need or can’t accept, and you will act accordingly.” And sometimes that’s what happens, and that’s great! But if the other person disregards your stated boundaries, it doesn’t mean setting boundaries didn’t work.

Because boundaries aren’t about others’ behavior, they’re about your own. If the other person’s behavior doesn’t change, then yours has to. “Please don’t discuss [x topic] with me” is a request. “If you continue to talk about [x topic] then I will end this conversation/hang up/leave” is a boundary, which you must then enact. The point is less about stopping the other person (although that’s ideal) and more about protecting yourself. And you have to be committed to protecting yourself, because no one else will be.

You have to be so committed that you’re willing to tolerate other people being hurt or angry or uncomfortable. You have to accept that some relationships might change. You have to hold onto the idea that it’s all right for them to change, because the way they were before was hurting you, and you deserve to not be hurt. You gave them a choice: maintain a relationship or keep doing the thing that hurts you, and they chose to keep hurting you, so if the situation is now awkward or unpleasant that was because of their choice. Enforcing boundaries means deciding that if someone is going to feel bad here, it need not be always and only you.

There is no magic formula that will make other people treat you kindly and respectfully. But you can learn to treat yourself with kindness and respect. That’s what enforcing a boundary is.

#boundaries #assertiveness #the real self care was the friends we dropped along the way #life is too short to spend with people who make you feel bad #you won't find the people who respect your boundaries #until you stop wasting energy on the people who don't #you can survive people being mad at you #i promise

the subtle resignation in his expression at even bouncing with the context of his final words kinda destroying me ngl

#the face of a man who is too far gone and knows it #like...hate him all you want but it is genuinely tragic to get to a point where you hate where youve ended up and it's too late to go back #you did it you fucked up you made your bed and now you gotta lie in it #a waste of nearly 100 years of living! you cannot punish this man more than he has punished himself #xehanort lived his life believing he'd get a redo at the very end and when it didn't happen and he died like everyone else he was doomed! #he neglected every friendship he ever had in the hopes he could just remake them once he was god king and start over! #but he couldn't and didn't and by the time he realized it it was far far too late #why did i put all of this in the tags? well. that's our spicy secret.

i’m sooooooo normal about the god of war series. so incredibly normal i liked it a normal amount and would be so chill talking about it. don’t worry about the sign

#god of war #i’m so so so so so normal about it it’s so whatever it’s so haha you know #something something when it comes to yourself you’ll let yourself drown before you change. you’ll die before you change who you’ve become #to survive this long #up to and until it affects the ones you’ve come to love in this life you’ve made for yourself and you suddenly have no choice but to change #it’s fine it’s ok it’s chill. everyone does this. #it’s becoming a parent and loving your child so much you HAVE to change. you HAVE to be better #we MUST be better. than they were. #who’s they. our parents. the gods that come before us. yes. #i’m screaming i’m crying i’m wasting away im disintegrating. there’s no coming back there no return #you are on your knees. you are gripping your son’s shoulders like they’re the only thing keeping you tethered to the earth. #you are struggling with who you are and who you want to become. you are promising to be better. #i’m so normal about parent(al figures) taking responsibility for their actions and choosing to do better #i’m not high enough to really express what’s going on here. can you feel it? can you fucking feel it? #this series has destroyed me. #dad of boy. dad(s) of boy. i will never be the same (affectionate) #can’t remember the last time i finished a series and went ‘oh well i’ve GOT to play it again Now That I Know’ #AND I HAVENT EVEN TALKED ABOUT THE BROTHER HULDRA!!!!!!!!! #sindri’s face. has not left my memory #i’m dying scoob #gow #gowr

Your life isn't a to-do list. You're allowed to exist, to take life as slow as you'd like. The dreams you have won't suddenly disappear. It's okay to stop and smell the roses, or to engage with "childish" things, or to recover, or do what you need to.

#positivity #encouraging words #life doesn't need to be a speedrun or a 100% run #sometimes it feels like i'm wasting my life but... who gets to tell me what is wasteful? i'm surviving out here and that's okay #and it's okay if you're also somebody who people think is 'wasting your life' #that's such a meaningless and frankly a very cruel thing to say to a person #because you'll see people call somebody's life wasteful because they're simply coping with disability/mental illness/grief/ect #it's a meaningless saying to tell somebody how YOU think they're wasting life. your life isn't a waste point-blank #we ought to be kinder to ourselves for choosing what we want/need out of our lives rather than placating to what is imposed on us... #...or the expectations we impose on ourselves #be kinder to yourself whenever you can. it's hard as hell but please choose kindness toward yourself #just something i thought about and felt like it was impirtant to me #i couldn't complete high school 'on time' because of covid and because i was in crisis. i felt so much shame about that. i felt stupid... #...i felt unworthy. but who decided that i am those things? the crisis i was in could have killed me. i couldn't deal with school then... #...it humbled me because i had to learn that i am not immune to needing to be kind to myself. i am human - i'm not a mindless drone... #...you aren't a mindless drone either. you are an individual. you deserve to feel safe. you deserve understanding and compassion... #...but not ONLY from others. you deserve it from yourself as well

I think we need some aki and pregnant y/n NSFW 💞 I feel like he’d be so into it

oh absolutely. aki doesn't bring up how he feels at first, he wants to avoid putting any unnecessary strain on you. right now, you should be resting. but god are you damn near irresistible.

just knowing that you're pregnant with his child makes him feel dizzy. he loves you so much; he wants to pamper you, wants to give you everything you deserve and more. he wants to give you his hands and his mouth and his tongue, and lavish you until you're seeing stars. he can't help the rush of emotion he gets whenever he remembers you're married, how flustered yet excited he is at the thought of starting a family together. and once your stomach starts to swell, he's a total mess. he is especially gentle with you then, but as he peppers you in kisses and places his palms on your stomach, he never shies away from telling you, you're beautiful, and, you have no idea what you do to me.

#and if you tell him you want another baby after your first #he would waste no time #(of course... the logical side of him says you should probably wait until you're settled in) #(but the thoughts he gets in his head whenever you ask him to give you another are..... difficult to control) #the type of guy who gets really turned on when he imagines living a domestic family life with you #normally I'm not into pregnancy stuff but for aki............ for aki...... #I want twenty babies with him #ask mags
