This flag is pissing off TERFs of course but i am seeing so much colorful JOY from trans lesbians and other lesbians in the notes like I've never seen a set of tags so happy before omg
Back when I was a redditor (😔) I realized a strange phenomenon. No one cares about your original posts, but if you make the post on another site and screenshot it, people assume it’s a tweet from someone who is known/is funny/etc and the post would do way better
Life can feel so overwhelming, but we can take it one task at a time! ☺️ We can’t solve everything at once, so it helps me to break down a huge pile of to-dos into smaller more prioritized lists!
need everyone to know that the artist who created this iconic artwork:
is STILL creating wolf art TO THIS DAY. TEN YEARS LATER. proof that the world is beautiful. her username is wolfroad! you can find her art right here, and here are a few of her more recent pieces that I absolutely adore:
do you ever think about how codependent miketenna/battenna is…. and how they think if they show their true selves/feelings it’ll drive the other awayy 🥹
social media has really warped our perception of creativity and hobbies. Stop doing things to post them. Just write. Just journal. Just sketch. Just read. Just annotate. Just sing. Just crochet. Just do the thing you’re going to do with the assumption no one will ever see or know you did it. Stop performing. Just enjoy it.
I understand the heart of this, and I agree that creativity doesn’t always need to be witnessed to be worthwhile. There is something deeply sacred about making privately, about writing or sketching or singing simply because your soul needs somewhere to put itself. But I also think we’ve flattened the conversation too much when we imply that sharing creativity automatically turns it into performance, or that posting your work means you’re only doing it for praise.
Humans have always shared what they make. We read poems aloud. We pass around books. We hang paintings. We sing in rooms full of people. We tell stories beside fires, at dinner tables, online, in letters, in journals someone might one day find. Art has always had a communal pulse. Sometimes posting is not about accolades at all. Sometimes it’s accountability. Sometimes it’s archive. Sometimes it’s connection. Sometimes it’s the joy of letting something you made leave your hands and find the people it was meant to find.
I have always said: create because you love it, not because you want to be loved for it. But the problem isn’t sharing; the problem is when visibility becomes the only reason you create. Enjoying your own creativity and wanting to share it with others are not opposites. Being proud of what you make is not the same thing as performing. Let people make privately. Let people make loudly. Let people be witnessed without assuming their joy is insincere.
:O BATTAT SYSTEM LET’S GOOOO!!!! do you think there’s other system members or maybe dormant members besides Battat and Mike??
YES!! i have some fun ideas in mind actually...
each number corresponds with a different alter, and relates to the order in which they developed. the first three existed before card kingdom had fallen, and the last 3 started appearing after moving to TV world. everyone is not completely aware of eachother, which causes some internal conflict.
Mike is a bit irregular compared to the others, and was likely formed through influences that no one quite understands. because of this, Mike feels "separate" from the rest of the system, but is someone who Battat idolizes and wishes to become completely.
1. Pear - quiet and shy, they like to draw and read, and take naps. will just stare at you cutely until you get them a juice or crayons. doesn't front often.
2. Peridot - bit of a spoiled brat. loves to be pampered- misses her days in the diamond king's court. closest in personality to the average pippins. she enjoys sipping her battery acid and lazing around.
3. Dot - cold and analytical. usually found reading or observing others to gather information. does not take shit from anyone. often isolates himself, especially from other pippins.
4. Rattle - frenzied and neurotic. very mistrustful of others, and often refuses to sleep. constantly shaking, cant sit still. comes up with the most crack theories. WHO IS MIKE?! WHO IS HE?!?
5. Battat - very defensive. has a major temper, and takes his job too seriously. afraid of being vulnerable, and lashes out when people try to pry in his personal business. he makes sure that everything runs smoothly in TV world.
6. Mike - charismatic and confident. definitely a little arrogant, and refuses to let Mike's image be tarnished in any way. can front outside of costume, but still prefers to keep it on for long periods of time. would do anything for tenna, even at his own expense
