Hi! This is just a blog where I write nice things on top of pictures of snails :)

I primarily make these images for myself, which means I might go on periods of extended hiatus. This just means my mental health is doing pretty good, and so I don’t need to make snaffirmations.

You can just call me snail, my pronouns are He/Him ONLY. please don’t use they/them for me

DNI

nsfw/kink of any kind

traumacore

terfs/transmeds/exclusionists and the like

thinspo/pro-ed

dont add negative comments to my posts

Tags

snaffirmation- pictures of snails with affirmations written on them will be tagged with “snaffirmation”

text id- snaffirmations that have a text id

i like bugs, so occasionally i will post a snaffirmation with a bug other than a snail; these snaffirmations will get their own tags and will also be tagged with the bug pictured 

Cousin Slug- snaffirmations with slugs on them

Butterfly Bestie- snaffirmations with butterflies or moths on them

sneblog- reblogs

snasks- asks

snerotonin- just posts i wanted to save. usually nice things people have said to me

Unless stated otherwise, none of the original images are mine; I just write the words on them. 

All future images will be credited; I made this blog when I was younger, and unfortunately cannot find the source image for many of my older posts

Send me an ask if you need to me tag something with a tw!

my professor is making me remove a drawing i made from my thesis and it is pissing me off. but it will be okay. this is small. i will not be absurdly stubborn. i am in control of my decisions. i make very wise decisions. i choose very wise hills to die on. i will not write that very unwise email.
