Hello! I'm Lowarn, and this is my Tumblr. Some people know me as Cat.
I'm running a GoFundMe for a family in Gaza here. Please donate if you can!
I mostly reblog stuff, but I post my art under the tag #my art (very inventive, I know) and occasionally feel like I need to share my thoughts for whatever reason, too. Maybe one day I will post about my creative writing here, as a treat.
Feel free to send asks/DMs!! :D

My degree was in Costume Design and Making, which I do very little with, but I have a massive love of clothes and sewing! I really love traditional and folk costume in particular. I crochet as well, although I mostly make amigurumi.
I'm non-binary and sort of just generally queer.
I have some degree of brainworms about various media, including
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Homestuck
Pokemon
Warhammer
Dark Souls/Elden Ring
A Court of Thorns and Roses (or, as I affectionately call it, A Court of Shit and Piss)
I also love animals, especially bugs and fish, and I'm interested in stuff to do with queer and disability rights - I'm autistic and chronically ill, so the latter is pretty relevant to me.
I don't tend to tag/tw things unless they're, like, VERY blatant, but please feel free to let me know if you want something tagged! In the same vein, I'm an adult and will reblog/post things that are for adults. Please keep that in mind before you follow - this isn't a blog full of explicit NSFW or anything, but if nudity/suggestive content is a no-go for you, then here's your warning.
Thanks for visiting! I hope we can be beloved mutuals!
Bonus for people who read the whole thing: if you look at the tag #so beautiful on my blog, you will see a variety of posts where it's a parent animal with babies, or maybe objects with smaller versions next to them.
Now you see, I’ve watched enough cartoons to know that this square of the carpet is on a separate animation cell from the background & therefore something funky will happen if I step on it. You won’t catch me making a rookie mistake like that no sir!
I would actually go as far as to say that MOST abuse is unintentional. I think most people will go through their lives without ever experiencing intentional abuse. People are abusive because they're selfish, because they're stressed, because they care more about what society thinks they should do than the impacts of their actions on their children and partners, because they think what they're doing is correct, because they've made it make sense in their own heads, because they think they can fix their victims, they think they can fix their relationships, they think they can stop you from leaving, they think they can make you a better partner to them, they think that means you need to do what they want. We've sort of constructed mental illness in a way that doing this shit to other people counts as a form of mental illness because it is anti social behavior in the literal sense— it is behavior that causes social harm.
I don't say any of this to excuse it. I think everyone needs to be more aware of this because if you think abuse has to be intentional you will never realize you are capable of abusive behavior. You will never realize you are being shitty to the people you love, because YOU know what you mean, YOU know you don't mean any harm. But you're doing harm. You need to pay attention to the impact you have on other people, and you need to do it all the time, Especially when you feel least capable of doing so. Sorry! You live in a society. Get your head out of your ass.
