online numbers can really fuck you up when it comes to your creative work because you're sharing something you worked on with all your heart but it's very important to remember there's actual people behind those numbers. even if it's 1. that's one whole actual person. that's a human being who said "haha nice". that's a connection with a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL thoughts and feelings and experiences. like. damn. that should mean something

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

Dankeeee - bin bisschen spät dran, aber hab mich voll gefreut <3

reading: "Die Liebe, später" von Gisa Klönne. Ein spontaner Büchereigriff, weil das Cover hübsch ist und ich es cool finde, mal was aus der Perspektive einer älteren Frau zu lesen. Ich weiß noch nicht so genau, wie gern ich es mag, aber u.a. geht es um einen Libellenteich und in meinem eigenen Miniteich schlüpfen gerade jeden Tag richtig viele Libellen (und Molche!) and I like that 😌 

last series: Mord mit Aussicht, for comfort 

last movie: Maurice (die erste Hälfte, die zweite Hälfte wohl nachher. Ist nur noch heute in der Mediathek!)

last song: in the woods somewhere - Hozier (Lieblingszeile: "the night so black that the darkness hummed")

sweet or salty: salty. always. es sei denn, es gibt ✨ Kuchen ✨

coffee or tea: coffee. liiiebe Kaffee, auch entkoffeinierten Krams, fürs Kaffeegenussgefühl ohne Herzstolpern.

working on: Uniprojekte, Gartenprojekte und Projekte, die beides gleichzeitig sind. Und Muskelaufbau 💪😅 Kaum Zeit für fandom gerade :(

Ich weiß nicht, wer schon getaggt wurde, also hier mal vorsichtig @ontheriiver @thefortysecondolive @toastmitpflaumenmus  wenn ihr mögt :)

anniversary drawing 🌼

near where I live, there’s a stretch of grass that’s always being stepped on and flowers mown down by the council - but the dandelions still thrive, and the buttercup comes back bright and resilient in the borders that can’t be reached or tamed.

However much money and effort goes into trying to erase trans people from public life, gender variation is a part of nature: you can’t get rid of us; we’ve always been here and always will be

Shout out to the autistic who’s abilities have regressed as they’ve gotten older.

“You didn’t used to be like this when you were a kid.” I know please don’t remind me

[theconcealedweapon]

"This never bothered you when you were a kid."

Yes it did. I just let it slide because I was taught that I'm "too sensitive" anytime something bothered me. But now I'm finally standing up for myself.

"You never struggled with this when you were a kid."

Yes I did. I just burned myself out in order to do it so I wouldn't be punished. But now I'm accepting myself enough to not force myself to do what I was never meant to do.

[countessravengrey]

"You didn't have these problems when you were younger."

Yes, I did. I just spent my child/teen years with structured institutions like school while not having to worry about whether I had a roof over my head or food to eat and spent my early adult years using up every bit of adrenaline I will ever have to ignore the fact that I've been chronically burnt out my whole life.

you're allowed to draw. draw badly even. draw and then delete it. draw and rework it and then delete it anyway. draw only half of it and the other half three years later. in one style or another. in different styles in the same week. traditional or digital. you're literally allowed to draw however you want

I’m reading The Deviants War: The Homosexual vs The United States of America and the entire point of gay pride as a concept comes from police raids on bars, clubs, public restrooms, etc where gays were humiliated and outed in the newspapers (sometimes with their addresses!) and had careers ruined and lives upended by being associated with perversion and vice squads and all that and they responded by going “no I’m proud” and took that pride to the streets in defiance of the huge mechanism of shame that existed to oppress the gay community into obscurity and so the fact that people are now trying to apply conservative dogma to pride parades to make them “safe for children” or in other words “safe for people with oppressive conservative values” is simply insane

[sedoretu]

To phrase this more clearly: “public indecency” laws were the primary tool for brutally enforcing gender and sexual conformity, so applying a “public indecency” lens to pride parades of all things is a slap in the face of everyone who ever suffered under gender & sexual oppression and took their anger (and yes their pride!) to the streets. If it makes you uneasy or uncomfortable maybe you’re not on the side you think you are!

Hello, Tumblr user. Here's a non-binary character who uses they/them. Their ASAB isn't relevant at all for the story and everyone regardless of relationship uses they/them for them and they're trans. Your challenge will be to not try to sniff out their ASAB. Go---- oh you're already telling other people who don't agree with you they're wrong and bigoted for hcing it different from you. Okay.

Taking Care  Callista Buchen

[wizardarchetypes]

i think avoidance is such a little-recognized ocd compulsion. all the time i talk to people with ocd who are like "i was always having intrusive thoughts about using kitchen knives and harming myself or others but i'm okay now because i just stopped using knives ever 👍 so i'm good now"

and i'm like unfortunately i have bad news.

[wizardarchetypes]

heyyy that's an awesome avoidance ritual you got there. i think we should chop carrots together and yes you might stab me to death and kill me and the police will take you away and your mom will cry in the court room asking why and you won't know what to say and your life will be ruined forever. but that's just a risk we have to take.

I love tumblr because somehow I can end up being mutuals with a celebrity (someone that wrote a fic that I loved)
