It is in my best interest to look for the silver lining and count the stars in the night sky and hike the trail along the frozen lake and sleep holding hands and stop to smell the roses and not let cling to me like lint what betrays the steadying of my spirit

oh i will continue to love this life despite despite despite i will find ways to nourish my soul to give my eyes beautiful things to see and my brain beautiful thoughts to wander through and when it gets dark and tough i will feel the sorrow as much as i can i will hold the pain so close to me until we both are so familiar that we continue to live hand in hand like old friends

I made art for Sparkle and Sea, a queer merfolk zine!! Crowdfunding is open now, starting as low as €15 for a digital copy up to €55 for a hardback book with prints and stickers!! Please consider supporting it, myself and all the other artists worked so hard on it, and all the profits made go to trans charities - you can find more about the artists on the zine Instagram and you can buy the zine itself here!! Please consider supporting as we can only fund the physical copies if we meet our fundraising goal <3 thank you!!!

one of my favourite ways to engage with any given fandom is exclusively via the content shared by one mutual. I don’t know Anything about the source material but by god you’re right, my friend, your otp is literally the pinnacle of all shipping. your fave character is the best character ever. I love you and trust that all of your opinions are completely and objectively correct on this subject
