romanticizing mental illness is dangerous and misleading
Artsy depression: haunted eyes, good at art, emo hair and eyeliner on point
Actual Depression: bloodshot eyes, no longer trust themselves with pencils, has not showered in five days
Quirky OCD: organized books, clean room, color coordinated outfits
Actual OCD: Intrusive thoughts, flipping the light switch 8 times so you donât stab your brother, picking holes in your skin
Cute eating disorders: Slim trim and beautiful, shyly refusing a second helping, dancer aesthetic
Actual eating disorders: Puffy cheeks and eroded teeth from excessive vomiting, hair growing over your freezing body and refusing to eat carrots because theyâre too high in carbs
Adorable anxiety: just a smol bean, soft, must be protected from the world
Actual anxiety: crying so hard you throw up, shaking, losing sleep over a period after the âokayâ
RPG PTSD: flashbacks, vietnam, u donât know what iâve been through kiddo
Actual PTSD: Buying your first pregnancy test at twelve, flinching at high fives, i canât feel my hands where am I what year is it
Cartoon ADHD: look a squirrel, something shiny, fidgety loveable bufoon
Actual ADHD: rereading the same page over and over because it doesnât make sense, hasnât done the laundry in four months, hyperfocusing on a mushroom knowing you have work to do
stop making terrifying realities seem cute. itâs disrespectful for those of us who are actually struggling
Fucking preach.
Uwu smol baby autism: adorably awkward, huggable, acts cute when confused, has some sort of rainman talent and a perfect memory in general
Real autism: worrying about whether youâre interpreting peopleâs cues correctly/making your tone sound correct for the context, or whether theyâre about to get wierded out and uncomfortable bc of something you said, sensory issues that drive you nuts, not being able to adapt to sudden changes in plans and freaking out, melting down or shutting down when stressed by stupid things
Reblogging for the autism part that is just too realÂ
âCoolâ Emotional detachment: The person is stone cold, so cold that Polar Bears say âman, theyâre one cold personâ. In reality, itâs more like: God, why canât I feel anything? Am I truly happy? Why do I feel so empty? Why does my heart feel so hollow? Why canât I cry? Why does it feel like thereâs an echo inside of me every time I laugh or talk or do anything.
Posting this here because someone might just find this relatable. A comic I drew as therapy, to help me get over some big creative issues Iâve been dealing with recently. Hope it can help some of you as well.
Thank you so much for posting this to Tumblr! I hope you all find this as inspiring as I did.
A Well Meaning But Concerned Relative: Itâs very good, but I just donât get part of it though.
Me: Oh?
Relative: Like, are we supposed to empathize with the vampires and werewolves?
Me: Theyâre the main characters⊠so yes?
Relative: But theyâre monsters!
Me: Yes?
Relative: Shouldnât they be the villains? Like, who can relate to monsters looking for love?
Me, looking at my very queer, very disabled audience like Iâm looking into the camera on the office: people who like the found family trope.
how did your relative completely miss the existence of the entirety of supernatural romance genre?đ
On purpose, I think. Theyâve never read Twilight (God, I wish that were me), and they donât seem to like vampires, so I assume they only read my book because I wrote it. Weâre currently discussing a book they do like that falls into the realm of the supernatural, and the very telling reply I got just now was âyea, but they make the [monster] better! They become more human!â (Example given was a Beauty and the Beast retelling.)
Whereas my book is: supernatural creatures who get unfairly called monsters on a regular basis just for existing share exasperated glance of unity across the table as the humans who just called them monsters do something truly monstrous.
So itâs less of a âhuman changes monster for the better with loveâ and more âmonster finds love and acceptance with like-minded monster(s) with similar if differing experiences who donât want to change themâ narrative.
And letâs be clear here, my monsters for the most part are neither interested in being polite nor human-passing. None of their arcs revolve around finding their humanity. They know theyâre different from other people, but they also know thatâs not a bad thing. And nor do they need to change who they are. Theyâre not the problem. Other peopleâs problem with them is exactly that. Other peopleâs problems.Â
One of the closest instances I get to âmonster learns to loveâ is with Vlad later on in the series. And itâs a journey of self acceptance and realizing, yeah, actually, he is a good person. Just because heâs not who people want him to be, doesnât mean heâs not.
And I think thatâs a truly foreign perspective for this person.
Itâs actually turned into a fairly productive conversation tbh, haha. Whether they take anything away from it or not is up to them, I guess.
why does Edward give off such strong cat energy
#broke: al never gets a cat#woke: edward is the cat (daylighteclipsed)
#the reason Al likes cats so much is they remind him of Ed
op your mind
whyâre giraffes so violent
most big herbivores are, frankly. if you have a pretty steady supply of food and donât have to worry about missing a hunt and starving to death, you can afford to throw your weight around more and generally be more aggressive!
thatâs why the most dangerous big animals in the world are almost all herbivores.
this is also why walking right up to these things in Jurassic Park would have been a fantastically bad idea
Sauropods would be fucking TERRIFYING and it annoys the hell out of me that media constantly portrays them as passive and harmless. That Indominus from Jurassic World would have been SLAUGHTERED against an Apatosaurus, let alone a whole HERD of them
- @cappucino-commie
Ok but, bringing it back to sauropods, people dont really understand just HOW terrifying they were First, size. And yeah most people understand that sauropods were bit, but it really needs to be reinforced just how big they were.
This is Camarasaurus lentus, around 15 ish meters and over 16 tonnes, for reference sake, the largest african elephant bull EVER recorded was 11 tonnes. pretty decent difference right? Well, except one thing. This is a SMALL sauropod. Want to see a large one?
Yeah, youâre reading that right, 53 tonnes. Almost five times heavier than the largest recorded african elephant ever. And they get even larger.
This bastard was last estimated at 73 tonnes, the largest animal ever to walk the earth. And they didnât just get big, they got l o n g, too
That right there, is BYU 9024, it (among with a few undescribed remains) shows an animal in the size range of 40+ meters, this one here clocks in at around 40, and the funny thing is? this is the *conservative* estimate, larger specimens are not unreasonable in the slightest. Itâs not quite as heavy as the big south american bastard above it, but at 67 tonnes, its close.
Secondly, speed. Weâve all seen it, lumbering behemoths that were dumb as rocks and probably about as fast, with a tailwind, going downhill. WellâŠ. Not really, the latest studies done as of Asier larramediâs sauropod facts and figures book gives some⊠Horrifying estimates.
Iâll spare you the complete explanations, there will be a paper out soon that goes into greater depth, but Iâd like to draw your attention to the speeds, specifically fo the animal called Giraffatitan. Most people are familiar with it in some way, shape or form, but to clear up what exactly Giraffatitan is.Â
Theyâre not the small ones in the foreground, theyâre the big ones in the back. 33 tonnes of pure muscle, moving at 25 kp/h. Again, to provide further reference.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUE304bqwQc THIS is how fast that is. Itâs a house running at you, forget a hippo charging you, this would be a tidal wave of flesh and hatred bearing down on you.
And finally, weapons.
Like someone earlier pointed out, Apatosaurus should have absolutely trounced the indominus, because quite frankly at such a size anything you do will hurt. Kicks with the front or hind limbs will be utterly devastating to anything except another of their kind, but Apatosaurus had another thing going in its favour.
One thicc-ass neck. Pictured here with speculative keratin spikes on the bottom, whilst the spikes are speculation, the neck itself would have essentially functioned like a fleshy battering ram, capable of pulping ribcages and smashing anything that could have âpreyedâ upon them. But thatâs not even the most terrifying thing, though this is not specific to Apatosaurus itself, but to all diplodocoids (Apatosaurus, Barosaurus, Diplodocus, etc.) Specifically, the tail.Â
This is Diplodocus, as you can see, this animal is half tail, as you might also be able to see, the latter half of that tail tapers down to what can, in all essence be described as- a whip. A serrated whip, powered by some of the largest muscles in the largest animals that would have walked on earth. But it gets even MORE horrifying.
You see, there have been studies that have come to a conclusion, and though there are those that have doubted them, I personally have looked at the papers and found merit to the theories.
Well, Iâll not hold you in suspense any longer.
The tips of these tails, could have, and would have broken the sound barrier. Yup, you heard that right, and as soon as that fact begins to seep in, youâll realize the horrifying implications. A diplodocoid whipping its tail, would blow out the eardrums of any animal close by and unfortunate enough to draw its ire, the sauropod itself would possibly not come out unscathed, but when you can literally give a would-be predator internal hemmorages by, what to them would be essentially like snapping a finger, the benefits begin to outweigh the risks involved. And thatâs not even mentioning what would happen if it HIT anything, an impact at such velocity, with such mass driving it would be- quite frankly? Devastating beyond words. Flesh wouldnât just tear, it wouldnât just break skin or bones, flesh would MELT, bones would shatter, if not simply cease to be. And this is on a sufficiently sized animal such as Allosaurus or Torvosaurus. On a human? They would be ripped in half. So yeah, Sauropods get shafted in popular media to an extent that isnât even possible, if you think hippoâs are scary, imagine something fourty times its size, faster than you, and able to kill you without even touching you. Sauropod are kaiju, plain and simple.
The babies were really cute though. This is andrew, and heâs a baby⊠the size of a horse. If you want to know just how tiny they began, this is probably a good reference.
Yeah, the largest animals ever to walk the earth started out life at about the size of a dachshund. Eat your greens everyone.

me, panicking, not writing my story: itâs stupid, itâs a stupid story!
the tiny gremlin in my brain, enjoying a lollipop & wearing the Most Eyewateringly vibrant shorts: so what?
Listen to that gremlin more
angels, deciding what shape to take when interacting with The Humans: wellâŠ.eye contact is important to humans, right? they find it reassuring when they can see the eyes of the person theyâre talking to. so if we have LOTS of eyes, in very visible places, thatâll be even MORE reassuring
canât stop thinking how much sense it would make if every design choice angels made was just a misguided attempt to Relate To The Humans. imagine how those conversations went
wings: âhumans donât like things they canât understand, so if weâre going to levitate we should have wings. in fact we should probably have lots of wings, since weâre so big and impressive. humans like wingsâ
loud, booming voices: âfuck off Azrael the humans needs to be able to hear us.â
glowing: âno no no, itâs about visibility, right? the main human sensory organ works by detecting light, so if we emit lightâŠâÂ
wheels: âwhy the hell are you shaped like that?â âpiss off, the humans are really proud of this inventionâ
multiple faces/eyes: âit makes me relatableâ âi swear to God it doesnâtââ âi need to see in every directionâ â Azrael you are a supernatural messenger of god you do not needââ âTHE HUMANS NEED TO KNOW IâM WATCHINGâ
multiple limbs: âhumans have lots of limbs! they like limbsâ âlook i let you keep the wings butââ âhow do you expect me to walk?â â70,000 feet is not a reasonable number of feet, Azrael!â âfuck off iâm ENORMOUSâÂ
general gross misapprehensions of biology: âholy shit are your wings made out of eyes?â âlook before you say anything iâm like 100% sure iâve seen animals who have both wings and eyes. and you can fit so many more in this way!â ââŠ.you godforsaken googly-eyed geniusâ

the rubber duck
For anyone curious what they mean by the rubber duck, rubber duck debugging is a tactic used by programmers to figure out bugs in the code. To do it, they explain the code, verbally, line by line, to the rubber duck until they find it.Â
Itâs also very useful for writers, and Iâve used it multiple times with rubber ducks, stuffed animals, and my friends.
