love the trope where an authoritative side character pointedly pretends not to help the hero they’re not supposed to be helping by saying shit like “well I can’t just let you wander around up to the THIRD FLOOR where you could just FIND THE THING YOU NEED in the FIRST ROOM ON THE LEFT. And under no circumstances should you USE THE KEY FROM UNDER THE MAT. I wish I could help you, but I CAN’T. Now excuse me, I need to take this phone call for the next 37 minutes EXACTLY.”

The hero’s identity was accidentally revealed, but it turns out they are moderately poor, have no friends or family, and their civilian life is frankly…sad.

hair stylists: are you sure you want to cut two inches off? short hair really doesn’t match your face shape :/

Throwback thursday to when I was like 12 and I was putting out new writing DAILY...... Like entire Chapters of my then-current wips just, over an afternoon. What the fuck was I on

Nobody:

Me, age 12, just started drinking coffee:

I drew 14 pictures during the day, and wrote 32 pages a night. Now I can’t do shit.

A huge part of this is because you've gotten better! And now, when you're drawing/writing/doing whatever creative task, you're not just mindlessly throwing thoughts at your paper, you're thinking as you do it. Children can churn out a lot more work because it's not yet refined, but when you're older and have more practice, you work with all these thoughts running through your head about form and shape, color palettes or word choice. Now, you're making a dozen decisions with every moment of work, and you're also questioning the decisions you've just made, wondering if you can do it better. Don't beat yourself up about producing less work now than you did back then, because every sentence or shape involves a lot more effort for you now, than it did when you were ten and brand new to this hobby.

Also you have a job now and the never-ending bullshit that is laundry and dishes and feeding yourself.

watching a tiktok and someone just described the black/blue gold/yellow dress meme as “one of the first things to ever go viral”

the speed and velocity that little girls will turn to witch craft with literally no other outside influence is amazing, inspiring, and honestly a little terrifying.

"ohh what if my kid starts identifying as a CAT because of the trans agenda we have to prote—" well they've always done that. do you remember the psychological effects of h2o on young girls. of warrior cats on autistic children. i believed i was a demigod because of percy jackson. twilight came out and kids were telling their friends they were secretly vampires. this is just a thing kids do. worry less

[naamahdarling]

I DEEPLY pretended I was secretly a cat person and just hadn't, like, learned to grow cat ears and a tail yet. I sometimes sorta believed it. The line between pretending and believing is so, so blurry when you are a child. I don't get why people worry about this sort of thing. It's normal. And if that led to me being trans, it was, like, latent for 30 years. There is no cat-children-to-transgender pipeline. And being trans is normal, too, anyway.

I just don't understand panicky phobes and their mindless reactionary brainfarts which they insist on inflicting on the rest of us.

BRUH a dude I know from work came in for the first time in months and I thought he looked different but couldn't figure out why?? So I asked if he'd changed his hair and he was like "BITCH I GOT TOP SURGERY"

Do you ever write out a multi-paragraph rebuttal to something and then think "actually I do not want to get involved in this" and close it

[myfaenwy]

this is so healthy tho. you get to put your thoughts to words and then you light them on metaphorical fire. cleansing.
