This is Yuumei's piece I bought a while back and now that I bought a house it has a wonderful new place to be beautiful. If you are ever able to support her, her work is top notch.

I’m going through a phase of pencil drawings…now I have Promppie on pieces of scrap paper floating everywhere. Exactly what I wanted in life 😌

I once spent three hours scouring the internet to find this comic again, I will not let that be repeated.

[lynati]

@signoraviolettavalery I meant to ask last night if you’d ever seen this comic before.

[allsortsoflicorice]

It’s back!

Always reblog.

Tips That Can Save Your Kid’s Life.

[hiddlesherethereeverywhere]

THIS IS IMPORTANT 

When I was a child, from the time I was about four and could understand things, my mom told me and my brother that we should have a secret word. That way, if we were ever in trouble or felt unsafe and we didn’t want the people around us to know we needed her to come get us, we could let her know. So she let us pick the word and my brother and I chose the phrase “peanut butter cups.” (I’m happy to share the phrase now since both my brother and I are adults now). 

I used the phrase twice in my life. Once, I was at a friends house when I eight years old. Her dad got really drunk and was throwing things against the wall. I was really scared and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself on the phone when I called my mom to come get me because I didn’t know if he would get more violent if I asked her to come get me. So I called her and was calm and after a couple minutes I asked “Hey mommy, did you get me those peanut butter cups from the store?” And she said “I’ll be right there.” And she came and got me within minutes. 

Second, I was a teenager spending the night at a friends house. Her brother and dad were drinking and they started talking about things that made me uncomfortable - ie: what they liked to do to women. My friend didn’t seem perturbed and said that was normal for them and that I shouldn’t worry. But I was worried because they were really drunk and I was 15 and the only ‘woman’ around that wasn’t related to them. I went in my friends room, told her I needed to call my mom and say goodnight. Before I hung up with her I asked “Next time we go to the store, can we get some peanut butters cups? I’ve been craving them.” And she came and got me, just like that. 

Two incidents, one as a young child, one years later as a teen. Don’t discredit this stuff, it fucking works. My brother used it a few times too. Let your child pick the word and no never, ever, ever, ever get mad at them for using it no matter what it is.

DO NOT SCROLL PAST THAT.

[honeybeehusky-blog]

Off topic, but very important! I was taught to yell “this is not my mom/dad.” A young kid freaking out in public is likely to be ignored out of embarrassment, but a kid telling you right out that they don’t know who is messing with them? That will turn heads.

SIGNAL BOOST

[wuh2k]

90% of all child molesters are members of the family, close family friends, or an adult in a trusted position of authority. All of this is important but one more thing:

Never instil an unwavering “respect for their elders” in your child, and never chastise them for “tattling” on or feeling uncomfortable around an older relative/family friend/teacher .etc.

SamTober 2021 Day 29 - Secret Boss

Self Portrait.

I decided to pretend I'm deep by doing a rough, single layer referenceless sketch.

I thought it felt reflective of how I perceive myself sometimes. That single layer, unfinished rough person I sometimes see when I feel like I try to look at myself through certain people's eyes. Those I've hurt or don't know and I have been insensitive to or those that still see me for who I used to be.

I can't seem to fight in off thoughts that won't go away that I tell nearly no one about... so ... secret boss.
