Whatâs your group chat called
Okay but Harley is so fucking considerate, tho? She knows Canary and Arrow are having a baby and that the baby will either be an archer or a screamer and she presents gifts accordingly.
Sheâs that crazy auntie thatâs wild, but also the realest.
To every artist that follows me, in case you need to hear this
Your art is amazing, youâre amazing because you keep on trying and improving, Iâm proud of you all for continuing, instead of giving up. Cause I have met people who gave up on drawing, even tho their art was great, So I just wanted to remind you that your art looks fantastic, even if itâs just a simple drawing of something, you are still improving.
life is tough when youâre a lazy perfectionist who simultaneously doesnât give a shit about anything but at the same time cares too much about everything you feel
holy fuck Iâve never heard a sentence that describes me better
My whole life has been a lie!
Are you shitting me?!
oh my god
itâs because youâre evil
you can read this article here and itâs despicable and framed as a âdeclutter your life and get your kids to appreciate the moment~ by busting ~stuff addiction~ story
but the story goes that this mom was on a trip with her daughter and her daughter wanted a toy, and the parents said ânoâ and then the mom fixates on how her daughter couldnât enjoy the ~amazing things~ they saw on their shitty family trip because she wanted to get that toy so bad.
so in retribution the mom on a cleaning spree took away not one, but every single toy her daughter had
and then began crowing about the amazing benefits that on the next trip the daughter didnât ask for a single thing! and was quiet and manageable and shut up and âenjoyedâ the moment and everything her parents wanted her to! amazing a childâs âaddictionâ to toys was cured!
toys are the only thing a kid owns. they are the only thing they have control over. When your kid goes to disney world or whatever with you, they are not in control even if they wanted to go. They did not choose to go to disney world. they canât leave if they wanted to. they canât pick how they get there, or where they go when they arrive.what may seem like âenjoying the momentâ to an adult is actually âmade to be a prop as a kid and dragged around when they didnât choose to be, or to even go in the first place.â
this is not to say you canât go someplace with your kid without it being miserable. I loved, and still love, going to museums with my family, for example. But when I was a kid, I didnât pick to go or not. I was fortunate I had parents that listened to me and brought me places I enjoyed, rather than just brought me wherever and demanded IÂ âenjoy the moment.â And usually, I got to buy one small thing when we went out, especially if my parents also bought things. It helped me feel like I was part of the trip.
God. I want to bring this ladyâs poor kid out to that build-a-dino place and buy them their dino toy. Itâs clear they tossed out what the kid actually likes and is interested in for the sake of this âdeclutter your life~bargain bin nameste~â horsecrap. Now the kid has nothing thatâs their own and has been taught that asking for their interests is punished by everything they enjoy being taken away.
And who cares if the kid âforgetsâ about the toy after the trip? that doesnât mean they never wanted it or could have done with out it. A kid is a kid, their memories donât stretch back more than 10 years, a week or a month is a long time to them and an afternoon can change their mind. Disrespecting your kidâs wishes and taking every toy they have (and you gave them!) so they can pay attention to you and your horrible ego trips
like this may be what she says
Had I not experienced it with my own eyes, I wouldâve never believed that an addiction to stuff could be broken that quickly. Â The truth is that when I took all their stuff away, I was terrified at what would happen. Â I worried that I was scarring them for life, depriving them of some essential developmental need, taking away their ability to self-entertain.
In reality, the opposite has happened. Â Instead of being bored, they seem to have no shortage of things to do. Â Their attention span is much longer and they are able to mindfully focus on their task at hand. Â They color or read for hours at a time and happily spend the entire afternoon playing hide & seek or pretend.
They are far more content, able to appreciate the blessings that they do have, and able to truly enjoy the moment they are in without always having to move on to the next thing. Â They are more creative and patient, more willing to share, far more empathetic towards the plight of others, and, with little to fight over, they hardly fight at all.
but what happened was that now that sheâs romanticizing that her kids now have fewer boundaries, fewer things to do, ask less of her (and donât kids always have to ask less and less and less!) and donât get to enjoy the things their peers might like + talk about.
Your kids have no concept about being more âcreative and patient,â lady. Kids just do what they do and donât have any of this romanticization of their behaviors. Your kids have to be more empathetic, because without catering to their mother or to their peers who might have toys, they donât have their own lives to retreat to now. And sure, they can play pretend. But like, so did I. And I had toys. And just because I was still playing as a kid didnât mean I wasnât miserable or was ~cured~ of having no friends and being bullied. Kids do not play because they are happy or healthy. kids play because thatâs all their lives contain and if you take away their toys they HAVE to find a new alternative somehow. Sad kids still play.
 I wonder if sheâs purposefully omitting the times that her kids being forced to play entirely in their motherâs territory with no personal boundaries have resulted in destruction of her home. But then again, these are her little angels~ who have become good kids~ when they were corrupted by the horrors of materialism~ are even capable of being miserable anymore.
I loathe this woman. Rescue her kids.
I played pretend for hours and hours and hours and I did it with my toys. I wouldnât have started writing if I wasnât able to create characters with them and build worlds out of Lego. My first novel stems back to the characters I created from my toys.
The only reason I never did more creative~ things was because they involved my parents getting out newspaper and paints, or saving me cardboard boxes, and even when I did my most creative project as a kid was to build my own doll house. Yâknow. My own toy.
Toys are designed to stimulate play. Toys are designed to be played with. If a kid builds her own dinosaur sheâs building a character and you can bet sheâs going to play with it. Sheâll introduce it to her other stuffed animals and theyâll come to life and if that isnât creative I donât know what is.
In her follow-up article she says âIn that moment, I just wanted to completely clear their room of everything.â She says âI hate toys that have a billion piecesâ. She says âSeeing the changes in my children was definitely a catalyst for change in myself as well.â
In her article on making her kids tidy their room she is just the same:
She characterises it as a battle that âI am winning.â
She gives the classic âSomeday theyâll get itâ justification.
Her husband seems to feel âa mixture of pity and fearâ but it doesnât bother her.
âThere is no negotiation. Â Our home is not a democracy.â
She gives the kids no input in what is valuable to them if she deems it worthless. âPapers & junky party favors or prizes are usually tossed immediately (when the kids arenât looking!)â She goes behind their backs with their own things (not that she respects their property).
âI truly donât expect perfection from my kids. I expect them to listen and obey and to do their bestâ
She doesnât give a damn about what her kids want; she talks about herself and her struggle and her self-righteous authoritarianism. And in the tidying article she reveals that her kids are three and six.
Just look at this bedroom.
This is sad.
NOTE: This post was edited since I reblogged it, and the edit included a lot of important points, so Iâm re-reblogging it with my original comment to preserve the new version.
I needed to reblog this addition and Iâm sorry itâs a super long post now but itâs so important. I played pretend with my toys all the time because thatâs⌠what you use toys for? My mom saw this post and felt sorry for the kids, told me that she bets those kids now furtively play with rocks, rags, and household items wary their mom will take them away, too or say those things arenât for playing.
The thing I told her and Iâll add on here too is that when I was a kid, I was lucky enough to have parents that let me pick my own toys. Chances are, this mom didnât actually get her kid toys that appealed to her kidâs interest. Like how many barbies did her mom give her that now the mom complains her kid never can âfocusâ on playing with? And now she wants a dinosaur toy that she picked out for herself and thatâs too much? it sounds like the mom is more angry at all the stuff she threw at her kid (or that her kid was coerced into getting) wasnât being âappreciatedâ in a way that gratified her, so she destroyed it all
like in the end this mom is self-congratulatory that her kids now behave in the way she wants for her control freak minimalist neat and tidy showroom-floor aesthetic how terrible is that?
also, can I just say, she talks so much about wanting to pay for the experience of things rather than a âmeaningless toy,â but an experience is fleeting, and her toddler will not remember the experience, while they might remember the toy or still have it. Toys can sometimes be the only link people have to their pasts. I know I always need to see and touch something to know that itâs real; most of my memories are of questionable quality.  Paying for experiences does little for me in the long run (although in the short run it can be pretty great). I donât necessarily need things instead of experiences, but I will only get something out of an experience I care deeply about (meaning I will only get something out of it if it is a play, basically, but whatever).
i think anyone whoâs every used the internet has seen this picture at least once
 #should have done the blonde anime girl in the red plaid
you mean
yes that one exactly
wake me up inside
That first image is an edit of HUGZzz by Irene Strychalski. Sheâs improved tremendously in the past nine years, and you can see her current work on her tumblr, reniedraws! She has done backgrounds for Archer and Unsupervised, backgrounds and character designs for Chozen, and pencils and inks for issue #1 of Deadpool Family. Sheâs currently making a webcomic called Shaman Child. Hereâs some of her current art:

As for the anime girl in the plaid skirt, I braved the hellscape that is early â00s anime websites, exploring endless gif-covered Gaia pages and vampire-filled roleplay forums, traveling across seas of unsourced DeviantArt edits and low-res hentai, to discover that she is an original character by Hiro Suzuhira. She has done work for Shuffle!, Ef: A Tale of Melodies, Akikan!, Phantom Breaker, and We Without Wings, among many others, and she is also a prolific freelance illustrator. Here are some examples of her art:
