hello!

sorry to my mutuals who I haven’t interacted with for a while, and everyone that sees this on their dash. I haven’t exactly been doing well in school and things have been piling up, so because this is a really important year to me, I thought that actually announcing I am taking a break would be better than lurking around ;-;

I will pin this I think? thank you for reading to the end, I hope you have a good day :)

logging off now, see you ~

I made this quiz a while ago, take it if you wanna be psychoanalyzed a bit… (warning.. some are really long)

i’m genuinely not surprised. 

oikawa tooru.

don’t act surprised. how are you? oh wait, silly me, you have a fear of vulnerability and won’t tell anyone how you truly are. covering up your true feelings with snarky attitude, being rude so that people won’t get close to you. so you won’t disappoint them.. so don’t they realize how hurt you really are inside. it’s okay to ask for help. it’s okay to not be okay. don’t just brush off questions of genuine concern with deflection or a simple “im fine”. you’re generally good with people, and come off as confident or even a little cocky(even if you are suffering on the inside). you really are great at hiding your emotions, and people who aren’t close to you won’t even notice. i want you to understand you are good enough. you are doing so well. don’t just place your self worth on what you do/make. because no matter what, someone will love you for who you truly are. you fear being worthless, and only being worth your achievements. that no one will actually like you for you. i hope you can realize that you have people around you that already love you for that. or that you will eventually find those people. your suppress characteristics that interfere with your “desirability”, and feel your value comes from the ability to attract or dazzle others. you want to be liked and admired, and because of this tend to be highly competitive. don’t repress your feelings. you become more identified with the image/mask you present to other, (the presentation of someone who has it all together). i know you feel so much, and thinking that they get in the way of your “performance” is idiotic. people will accept all of you, or none of you. be sure to realize when you push down feelings, especially painful ones, because that will only hurt you more. overworking yourself won’t help, it just take away any joy and emotional freedom you hold. try to connect with yourself and your own feelings more. write them out, talk with a friend. be vulnerable, it won’t kill you. You really are a wonderful human, don’t be ashamed of your “ugly” parts too.

Oh. Okay. Starting off, you tend to be much more independent and come off more serious than others. You are very unlikely to go to others for reassurance or advice. Being alone isn't necessarily a bad thing, but try to open up a bit more to others. They have no idea what you're thinking and because you think so much it's easy to get lost inside your own head. You think you are good or okay if you can do what is expected of you. These expectations can cause your own internal fear that you will eventually be abandoned by others and that you won't be able to survive on your own. So you tend to already distance yourself a bit, and look at things more practically, even though you hold on large doubts/anxieties. You are actively aware about your anxieties, because you think A LOT. Worries about the future and security you have in life. How often do you expect bad outcomes? Do you have trouble believing that things will work out? Try to identify this, and be a bit more in the moment. Here and Now. You have so much potential, and you are too hard on yourself. Tending to lauch yourself into another project/ after you accomplish something. When you achieve a goal of any size, stop and breathe.. savor the moment. Take in the feeing and understand you are competent and remember it when you doubt your abilities. I actually think it would do you really good to take time for yourself, to just be. (Like taking a walk, meditating, swimming... to get out of your head and just exist). You might prefer to be a bit more distanced from others, emotionally and physically,(fearing that you have to depend on others) but try to just accept that some people want to be around you, because they actually enjoy your company. I know you need hugs, let yourself relax into them okay? Love you!! You are doing so well!

Which pan flag is the right one please I don't want to mess it up

THIS is the real pansexual flag we've been using for years:

bright pink, yellow, and blue stripes. this is the actual one.

THIS however, is made by mspec lesbian exclusionists and purity culture obsessed twt users:

dont use this or any other "new" pan flag they try to fucking make. its not our flag. its never been our fucking flag. as a pansexual i fucking hate everyone who uses this or tries to get content creators to support this. fuck exclusionists.

[casmick-consequences]

Signal boosting for my fellow pannies out there❤️❤️

[asgardian-viking]

oh man, the fake flag is so fucking ugly, muted colors just like the boring personality of whoever created it

[pickledbaklava]

ok not to be That Person but please, please rb. its incredibly important for us pan folk that our flag doesnt get erased

this site definitely doesn't allow you to paste the link to any article blocked by a paywall (say, a NYT article) so that you can read it free of charge! that would be illegal and would benefit broke college students too much. it definitely does not do that. promise.

看风景人在楼上看你。

明月装饰了你的窗子，

你装饰了别人的梦。

You are standing on a bridge enjoying the view,

Someone’s watching you from a balcony.

The moon adorns your window,

You adorn someone else’s dream.

Actually reminds me, what made you start the familial dynamics agenda thing for genshin?

I absolutely love that about your art btw! It's not easy to find purely familial dynamics between genshin charas with every character being shipped with anyone :'D

I didn't plan anything to be honest. I was having a hard time earlier this year when my chronic nightmares were at its worst point 💦 And then I doodled kaeya-bedo-klee to comfort myself and it was really well recieved in my socials.

(Long post)

The agenda kinda started when I realized that I don't really want to draw shipping content? I saw comments that mentions kaebedo in my earliest doodles and I found out that I don't like it (not the ship, but the perception that my art was deemed as romantic even when I didn't specify it).

I figured out that, well... I'm tired. I just want more found family content and that's it. If there's none, I'll do it myself, I guess.

Perhaps it's just the unlimited potential of family dynamics that could exist in genshin, even between characters who haven't intercated yet. This is the same thing that makes people ship characters too, I think. But I tend to imagine it more on familial side.

I don't think people realize that Genshin shows so much familial love? Here's some that I want to list and highlight:

Razor being taught by Lisa in a mentor-student way, the way she taught him not only how to read, but astrology, cooking, and many more. And Varka who found him and decided that Razor don't have to necessarily become a Mondstadt citizen or move into the city, but for him to learn a bit more about humans and protect his Lupical.

Barbara and Jean who grew apart by their parents' divorce tries to reconnect when they're older now. The small steps they take, and how much Barbara treasures what she has with Jean. The way she treats the photo of both of them and how she immediately took off to save Jean when she heard she may be in trouble. Jean who is strong and protective, whose childhood didn't exist because of her mother. Who tries her best to reconnect with her as well. The little meetings they have as the story progresses. Maybe one day they can meet each other's eyes and understand that they both want this.

Eula and Amber. The way Amber becomes the light in Eula's unfair world. The one who didn't take her promise of revenge seriously and look farther into her instead. Eula who shows her gratitude in small acts, like paying for their meals or bringing food or clean her room because she doesn't know how else to show it. Amber who accepts her for who she is and continues to accompany her and becomes the bridge between Eula and Mondstadtians.

The Adepti of Liyue, who look after one another. The way Cloud Retainer tease Ganyu and worries over her place in Liyue Harbor, and how Xiao help to push Ganyu to figure out things herself. Madame Ping and Yanfei's adorable bond, them being at peace with what they do in Liyue Harbour and keeping touch with each other.

Xiangling, Chongyun, Xingqiu, Hu Tao, and Xinyan who are chaotic. Xiangling becaomes the core who feeds them and also get themselves in trouble. The way everyone enjoys each other's companies. The tidbits of information around their friendships, the poem battle, the food, the exchanged dangling accessories for Chingyun and Xingqiu's vision, everything they share is amazing 10/10.

Thoma who is a foreigner, welcomed into the Yashiro household and become a part of it. The way he integrated himself within the family and how the family treats him as one of their own. The bond he has with Ayaka where he reminds her that everything shouldn't have to be all seriousness and took some of the burden into his own hands. The way he is so at home with where his currently is and is both respected and loved.

Xiao who has both Verr Goldet and Huai'an caring for him. Both humans worries over him and wants him to be at peace and have friends who cares for him. The way both spent their time and energy to make Xiao enjoy Lantern Rite at the comfort of Wangshu Inm. They way they talk about him when he's not even there. The way they asked the traveller to deal with the monsters within the vicinity to alleviate Xiao's burden to protect the Inn.

Kaeya who were adopted bot only by the Ragnvindr family, but also Mondstadt as a whole. Maybe Crepus didn't officially adopt Kaeya and that's okay, it's been in so many debates. But adoption for me don't need official papers? Just like the othe found family I mentioned, family adoption can be in a sense of feeling and belonging, just like what Kaeya had with Ragnvindrs and Mondstadt. He is adopted, treated like one of their own. Loved and respected even with his vague background. He is family there, within the knights, within the hearts of elderly who loves him like a son, and in the city of freedom.

Oh geez

So I just realized something about Howl’s Moving Castle.

It wasn’t just vanity that made Howl freak out about his hair. It was possibly also psychological abuse from his mentor Madam Sulliman.

We can see this most profoundly during her scene when she is surrounded by her pages. Look familar? Yeah she’s surrounded by mini Howl’s. I don’t think that’s a coincidence. I think they all have the same hair by her design. She’s so obsessed with perfection that she makes them dye their hair to meet her standards. Pretty harsh lady.

In earlier scenes you can see that Howl trims his hair into the exact same hairstyle and this is the point when he acts the most pleased with his appearance. He’s probably been conditioned to think that is what a successful wizard looks like. So when Sophie messes with it she’s unpacking all that baggage he has of being a failure and a screw up.

It’s only after Sophie stands up for him that I think he’s really able to let that go and just be himself with his natural hair. Overall it’s a nice visual detail that really ties the narrative together. An excellent example of visual backstory.
