When you see some clowning in the tags about Mel Medarda. 💀

Let me just describe a character. This character has been trained by a parent towards violence but has been shown to want to deviate from that teaching but we can see in the story it’s not a straight line towards that goal. And the goal isn’t immediately shown either.

Sometimes they use tricks or are seen playing the field but as a whole it’s clear that there’s a heart beating inside. Majority of fans see that and the character is liked. It is acknowledged that the character has complexity, that their upbringing is something to overcome and it is something they actively fight against at some point.

Killua from HxH

Prince Zuko from Avatar: The Last Airbender

Mel Medarda from Arcane

The first two are male, non-dark skinned characters, the last one is a black woman.

Fandom quick to give the top two characters time, the last one gets instant judgment. This is what fans mean by Misogynoir.

Mel normally: Calm, composed, rarely letting emotions get in the way.

Mel when her mother shows up: “No one asked for you. Take your ship and your twink and get the HELL out of my city!”

[silverwingart]

yeaaaaah, so...

I kind of want this account to make a hub for me to post and write about my Original Characters and post my art and cosplay in general. I should probably keep my jewelry separate from this, and just occasionally reblog from a probably strict goldsmithing/jewelry blog. Not sure when I get to reworking this blog, But I WILL. I can’t wait to talk about my characters more lmao!

I'd like to see onision defend himself without comparing his actions to anyone else. It's easier to feel superior while hiding behind others

Therapists aren’t people who you “pay to pretend to care about you”, therapists are people you pay to teach you how to care for yourself

[voce-morti]

Me: I am violently depressed.

Therapist: Oh! Sounds like you need to do YOGA! That will help!

Me: *signs up for yoga*

Me: *is violently depressed in Downward Dog*

[mx-mythical-deactivated20260319]

Me: I hate myself and only see my flaws

Therapist: ok lets refocus on things you like about yourself. This week i want you to try and journal about good things you’ve for yourself and others.

Me: *does the homework* yeah but i still hate myself but feel bad cause i shouldn’t

Therapist: feeling like you shouldn’t hate yourself is a step in the right direction. Mental health is complex and isn’t something that will ~magically~ improve. We have a lot of hard work head of us but I’ll be here to help you.

TL;DR stop perpetuating the idea that therapy is unhelpful because the results are not instantaneous.

[kcsplace]

FUCKING THIS.

As a psychologist the amount of bullshit on this site, the amount of fucking dangerous bullshit on this site about how therapy is neurotypical bullshit and isn’t worth it and how exercise is pointless and good diet is pointless and that therapy homework is pointless DRIVES ME UP THE FUCKING WALL

Exercise is fucking important. good diet is fucking important therapy is fucking important. WHY???

because pills alone don’t help. they improve the hormonal imbalance (as does exercise and good diet which ALSO are a form of very real self care as your physical being is sorta connected to your mental one but go fucking figure right?), but guess what? the suicidal thoughts, the thoughts of harm, the thoughts of hating yourself, they’re still there.  suicides actually increase when medicated.  why? because suddenly you have the energy to fulfill thoughts of harming yourself.  which is why you NEED therapy alongside pills.

it has taken you years, or decades to create your maladaptive thought processes and behaviours.  that shit doesn’t disappear overnight. core beliefs don’t change overnight. these are the very fucking core of your personhood, your being and personality. THAT TAKES TIME TO CHANGE

STOP ACTING LIKE THERAPY IS SHIT IF IT DOESNT WORK IN TWO SESSIONS

[potrix-the-queerschlaeger]

^This!!!!!

[aestheticallypleasingurmom]

The stigma that therapy isn’t worth it if you don’t feel better after the first couple sessions is such bullshit. It took me 8 months to tell my therapist anything personal but I kept going because I wanted to get better. I thought it was bs too when she kept telling me to think about other things and to distract myself when I have intrusive thoughts (not exact words whatsoever). Now it’s 2 and a half years later and I can successfully switch from thinking about all the ways I could kill myself to the song Slippery by Migos and immediately start laughing. You need to let it help you.

[sonisis]

My therapist telling me to get a normal sleep pattern in was because I later learned my anxiety worsened if I didn’t get a full 8 hours in. After fighting that hill she later helped me focus on other things that were bothering me from keeping clean to trying to battle irrational thoughts, then I finally took the meds she recommended. It took me 4 years to change these behaviors.

[cursedstump-deactivated20241013]

I need therapy too but I’m poor af, hopefully you guys are doin well, and if you can afford it please seek a therapist even if you think nothing’s wrong. Stay safe out there

Not sure if this is already done, but I customized some clothing in ACNH based on Beastars’ Cherryton Academy uniforms!

@white feminists: stop telling brown girls they’re “harming” feminism when they shave their body hair and conform to beauty standards. It’s much harder for brown women to pull off not conforming than white women. There’s a very harsh double standard when it comes to body hair and beauty standards in general on brown girls. (if ur white maybe reblog this to support ur brown sisters)

These intriguing sculptures are called "Ghosts" and you can find them at Vezio's Castle, located nearby the comunes of Varenna and Perledo, Lombardy, Italy. In the background you can see the Como's Lake. To create these hauntingly beautiful characteristic ghosts of Vezio, you can become a model for a day:  made from white chalk they are re-made each summer by tourists who agree to be put in a particular position, then covered with gauze and white chalk staying like that for 20 mins until the chalk is dry. The sculptures remain until destroyed by snow. Experience avoid to claustrophobic😉

It’s the affirmation that you don’t need to be conventionally attractive to be loved, you just need to be nice

[kellodrawsalot]

Anastasia is honestly the best character of the Cinderella sequels

turkey and azerbaijan are attacking armenia right now, and it's 1915 all over again because the world is distracted and people are too busy wondering if they're gonna live or die, and who gives a shit about my country anyway? my mum told me to tell my friends and explain to them what's happening and that we are the victims in this war because azerbaijan is spreading lies and people are believing their lies and i told her, what good is that going to do? do you think anyone's going to come to our aid? is russia going to help us? is america? is england? erdogan said they will finish what their ancestors started, and he means genocide. he means ethnic cleansing. he means to massacre every last one of us. and in doing so admitted to the very same thing turkey has spent 105 years denying. i don't know who to tell and what good telling people will do because we're a small, insignificant country, and we have nothing to offer to the people in power, the handful who rule the world. so i sit here with my pain and i feel helpless. i know there's twitter threads and links to petitions and people being urged to contact their senators, and sorry if im being pessimistic, but azerbaijan has been attacking us for the last 22 years, and though we defend ourselves, we can't do anything to stop them. they've violated ceasefires (and geneva conventions) multiple times. i don't think they'll rest until every last one of us is dead.

we just want peace. we just want to live peacefully. we're not asking for a lot here.

[steveandbucky]

hey either reblog this or unfollow me

[az-a-thot]

Watching this happen I've been so scared there is going to be another genocide and nobody would notice. My whole life I've hated how forgettable armenian people seem to be to the world. Protect armenian people or rot, please don't turn a blind eye to us again. And same as above, reblog or unfollow.

Hobby Lobby just released some new yarn designs - unsurprisingly they stole designs by a few different indie dyers, including lemonade shop, who’s been working on her speckled designs and rainbow splash color runs for a while (lemonade shop yarn is left, hobby lobby is right) :

She’s not the only designer they’ve stolen unique fiber patterns from, and the indie dyer community is reaching out to a few more dyers with very singular designs that hobby lobby has also taken, so I’ll try to update the list as I can.

Stolen art is stolen livelihood. Please support artists, small time crafters and creators as you can, and if you recognize someone else’s yarn in the hobby lobby release, be sure to include them and a link to their store. There isn’t much else that they can do to fight this unfortunately.
