nullscape is like a top 5 roblox game but it has genuinely the worst most insufferable playerbase known to man and im not kidding or exaggerating at all
Whatttt is with the tendency of Tumblr users to seek absolution from every single person who offhandedly posts about disagreeing with something they do
I say this not unkindly, but firmly: to function as a member of a social species, you have to get comfortable with the idea that not everyone will like you
βi have to listen to my bodyβs needsβ secret boss fight written by person who has chronic and disabling wrist pain which has fundamentally changed his relationship to his hobbies and his job <- i care it as someone who has also had chronic pain in my wrist/hand for 5 years
another thing i tend to think about with this. i also just think in chapter 5 there's a theme of care and dependency. the flowers have extreme guilt over being taken care of by asgore. flowery conceptualizes himself as weak and useless. in the dark world, his fantasy, he tries to return the care given to him to asgore to "make up for" asgore taking care of him when he should've died decades ago. it's an extreme example, but i also resonate with his feeling.
when your body or mind puts you in a situation where your reliance on other people becomes really explicit, you're trained by the world to see that as shameful or to see yourself as deficient. your efforts to ignore your needs just to avoid "being a burden," will leave you worse off. you punish yourself because of deeply internalized ableism.
regardless, even by virtue of being a living thing on this planet, you are already designed to need others. you have to listen to your body's needs even against a society that teaches you you shouldn't. you have to be okay with the fact that you have needs. sometimes your needs are different or are greater than the person next to you, and all you can do is listen to your body and turn to others when you need them. you're still a person when you need people.
when toby says this:
it's interesting to me how much he uses the language of deltarune to express this feeling. your hopes and dreams slipping away, and bitterness growing is literally the explanation we get for shadow crystals (and so wept the fallen star, making rivers with its tears. then, slowly, from the bitter water, something grew. it looked like glass). this is also the crushing feeling when you lose a sense of control when you're in pain, when you can't do things the way you want, the way you used to. but when you find yourself still able to fly, you do so because you've adapted. you've listened to your body. you've learned that listening to your body means changing the pace, letting yourself be cared for, letting yourself be helped.
as far as toby's said it, having to expand his team has made deltarune a better game. chapter 5 is so expansive because so many people helped to make it. Pink's fight has sprite work from guest artists, music with Camellia, bullets programmed by Toby's team. She is, to me, a love letter to Deltarune's development process as a whole and how it has shaped Toby, and a reflection of the kinds of thoughts Toby has shared with us about developing Deltarune alongside pain. I also think it's a beautiful follow-up to Gerson's themes of storytelling and authorship (letting go of "perfection" + accepting the contributions of others = both about rescinding control and embracing perseverance). Pink is also so much more than this, but I've been thinking about this a lot.
I write these words with a broken heart. To those who read this and choose to ignore it, you can simply scroll past, but I am living through the most difficult moments of my life. My husband is slowly dying before my eyes. Due to a severe head and jaw injury, he has been unable to eat or drink for over a week, his weight has dropped to just 39 kilograms, and he is suffering from severe, life-threatening malnutrition.
The doctors confirmed he needs urgent surgery, but we can't afford the operation and treatment. I feel helpless watching him weaken day by day, while time is running out.π
I'm not asking for the impossible; I'm simply asking for a chance to save his life. Please, if you can't donate, don't hesitate to share our story. It might reach someone who can give him a new lease on life.ππ
Can anyone help a black transfem with tech and stability for my teaching job? I only owe 250 in rent and need help with procuring a good computer. If I had to set a goal myself it would 750 for other bills and tech by August, when my class starts.
Please please consider helping me out financially to get my best foot forward as a small time educator. Thank you.
Current Goal: 0/750

My name is Bilal. I am a 35-year-old father of four children π¨βπ§βπ¦ from Gaza. I lived a simple life with my family. I worked hard every day to provide my children with a decent life and a better future.
But the war took everything from usβ¦ π
In a sudden bombing, my home was destroyed, and the place that once brought my family together became nothing but ruins. I lost several members of my family, and I, my wife, and my daughter were injured, leaving us with deep physical and emotional suffering.
After losing my home, my job, and my only source of income, I became unable to work because of my injuries. My responsibilities became greater than my ability to provide. Today, I live with my children in a small, worn-out tent βΊ that does not protect us from the heat of the sun βοΈ, the cold of winter βοΈ, insects π, or rats π that have become part of our daily struggle.
Even the little food we manage to get π does not remain safe for us, as the rats eat it, and my children cannot eat it afterward. We are living in extremely difficult conditions, trying only to survive through fear and hardship π.
The tent where we live is located near the yellow line, and we have nowhere else to go or a safe place to shelter. It breaks my heart to see my children suffering while I cannot provide what they need π’.
I ask kind-hearted people β€οΈ to stand with me and help us provide medical treatment for my wife and daughter π₯, secure the basic needs for my children, and help us overcome these unbearable circumstances after losing everything.
Because of the war in Gaza, I lost everything β my home ποΈ and my work in law, as I am a law graduate βοΈ. My wife and my daughter Malak suff
Please donate whatever you can to help us and stand by us during this difficult time π. Your support can give my family new hope and help my children have a safer and more dignified life π€.
Please share our story with anyone who may be able to help π€².
Thank you to everyone who extends a helping hand and feels our pain β€οΈ.
I am a father of two children π¨βπ§βπ¦ from Gaza π΅πΈ, currently living through extremely difficult humanitarian conditions after losing my home due to the war π, and I am now displaced far from my original place of residence.
Life here is filled with daily challenges π, especially when it comes to providing basic needs such as food π, water π§, and care for my children.
My children are everything I have in this life β€οΈ, and I am doing my best to provide them with the minimum level of safety and food, but the current situation is very hard, and sometimes I cannot even provide them with a proper meal during the day π½οΈ.
I also want to be able to provide my children with their school needs π, such as supplies, stationery βοΈ, and basic materials that help them continue their education despite the difficult conditions π.
I am only writing this because I have reached a point where I can no longer manage on my own π. Therefore, I am asking for help from anyone who is able to support, even with a small amount π΅, as it may help feed my children or ease part of our suffering.
Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a big difference in our lives π±. And if you are unable to help financially, sharing this post π’ could reach someone who can, and that would also be a great support for us.
I still believe there are kind hearts π€ that can help in times of need.
Going to be a homeowner fairly soon so reposting my commission prices to help with costs of things. <3 My queue is pretty short atm so I'm able to take on a handful of these!
