hey if transitioning didnt cure your insecurities or your eating disorder or your body dysmorphia or even your gender dysphoria, please know that is normal and fine

trans communities tend to burry these experiences because they're scared conservatives will use it against them but like, that's them being unintentionally cruel to you and it doesn't mean you "failed the trans community" and it doesn't mean you "did all this for nothing", it just means that you have problems outside of being transgender and that is fine, you are fine, I love you, you're going to be okay

[starshinelumine]

Also if you have other problems than being trans, you can still be trans. I've heard people (one person to be exact) say that you shouldn't transition if you struggle with other problems like stress from work or family problems. Apparently that "means being trans is just coping"... Most trans people that struggle with other stuff are indeed trans, you can struggle with multiple things. Also that doesn't mean you NEED to struggle with other things. It's not inclusive or exclusive.

Hello! This is a drawing of a tree I made yesterday. It's inspired by the drawing underneath I made when I was about 8 years old. I would say I've improved a lot, but I've still got ways to go. Especially because I'm not keen on erasing my pencil lines or going over them exactly. I think it adds character though.

As you can see I kept the bent tree with a hole in it, but I placed the branches more on the side of the tree. I still added swirls that move out of the tree unlike this image where there are branches coming out of the top. I really like the old image, because it frames trees in a horror and childish view, with crazy branches in irrational places and very simple leaves.

Singing

I hate my voice. I could give a thousand reasons why.

It's way too deep, it's way too high. I can't reach that, I don't even try.

Even now, I won't deny; I love singing. From now, 'till I die.

People tell me it's great. They say It's amazing.

I still doubt their words. Forever I'll be bracing,

For the impact or shock, when I find a way to sing.

[starshinelumine]

Waiting

I have to wait, but I've been waiting for so long.

I get sad, angry, happy... But I still have to wait.

We aren't there yet, I still have to wait.

I'm impatient, and I would hurry this up, but I can't do anything except wait.

Time is of the essence, yet I have to wait.

I wish this could start already.

I wish I could get this over with.

But I have to wait, and there's nothing I can do about it.

I'll just have to find something to do in the meantime.

CW: Mentions of death, blood, knives and murder. Interpretations of suicide.

Death is just a game, and I'm not ready to lose.

And you're already waiting, for somebody to come along and choose.

A choice of you and I, the death of you and your demise, and finally that choice of mine;

Will be the end of you.

A knife is just a plaything, that I'm ready to use.

And you're already waiting, for me to spill your blood all on the floors.

A choice of you and I, the death of you and my demise and finally that choice of mine;

Will be the end of us.

Nobody is my plaything, life is not a game, yet I'm here subtly waiting, for me to paint our end all on the doors.

A choice of you and I, the death of me and my demise, and finally that choice of mine;

Will be the end of me.

Imagine dragons EP - Hole inside our chest

Wait, I think I just realized something about 'Hole inside our chest' by imagine dragons.

You know the line where he says: "We march in sync, my head in yours. The beat is cleaning out my dirty pores"?

This song is basically about that his heart is gone, and it belongs to the sea. That they, he and others, are marching in sync into the sea.

I think he's talking about joining a hivemind. A society where everyone is in sync and joins the sea, the hivemind.

The part where he says that this beat, which is mentioned to come instead of his heart, is cleaning out his dirty pores. Signales that he is coming out of puberty, and that the beat is connected.

This leads me to think that this hivemind, is adulthood.

He says that he's thinking, and that we should take a break from lovely singing. I think he's trying to make it clear what is happening, but everyone waves it of as 'kidding', everyone is joking with him.

He says that his heart is full of ooze, which could mean that he's growing harder and shows less emotions. That his heart is being corrupted. He also says his brain is like a burnt out fuse, which according to me, means that he's tired of trying to make it clear what is happening.

He eventually says that his brain is on the floor and that it's giving lovers all a brain tour. Which could mean his brain's explaining it to people, but I don't know why they're lovers.

This is what I think. This is not confirmed by the author of the song. This is my opinion, and is for fun. I love Imagine Dragons, especially the older songs.

[spyroforlife]

gonna post a controversial take alright are y’all ready??

…

actually typing out emoticons like XD and :D and :V never should have gone out of fashion and you can pry them out of my cold dead hands okay I know emojis are fun but THEY DON’T CAPTURE THE EMOTION IN THE SAME WAY

How did no one cover :D and D: already. I love them

[starshinelumine]

So I came up with a Majora's mask theory that I love but is probably not true. Also big spoilers for Majora's mask and a minor one for Twilight princess. If you don't understand these next words I recommend that you leave: mm, trees on moon and tp, Zant

So you know how you collect masks from dead guys by playing a song? And how you turn into a deku guy in the beginning of the game? After the tutorial you find this tree sapped from all life and emotion, dead. Like the people you take masks from. And somehow you turned into a deku guy. Majora killed the tree, used the song of life to steal his soul and place it onto you. But how does he know that song?

He knows it because it was used on him. He's a mask too. Someone killed majora and put his soul into the mask. And he wants revenge. The mask salesman has countless masks. He even thought you the song of healing. He killed them all. He killed Majora... But even inside a mask he has the power to call the moon to the earth. It's almost like he was a deity.

Before we get to this I need to explain more, in Twilight princess. There is this darkness that talks to Zant. It gave Zant his power and it may also be the same thing that gade ganondorf his. Of course this is a longshot but there has to be a reason ganon keeps being reincarnated. Just like how Link and Zelda keep being reincarnated. The goddess and the darkness.

Darknesses Ganondorf was defeated by link. Darkness wanted to kill this link now that he was a child again and decided to send a near deity, Majora. But he was defeated by the mask salesman. The murderer kept the mask and it was stolen by the skull kid. Sinds Majora was a deity and didn't have a permanent physical form. The mask instead took over the kid instead of transforming him. Then wanted to kill the salesman and knowing that he could kill him in his last form he decided to send the moon upon the earth.

Before link faces him he talks to four kids just wanting to play hide and seek showing that they're innocents corrupted by Majora. When you talk to Majora he also acts innocent and if you collected all the masks he says (if I recall correctly) the following: 'Do you want to play good guy, bad guy? I'll be the good guy and you'll be the bad guy'. And he gives you the fierce deity mask showing that you are the other deity, the goddesses deity. He may be lying or maybe he thought you were as evil as the mask salesman. He wanted to kill you either way...

What does "The Game" mean!?!

[starshinelumine]

Nvm I now know... I lost the game and so will you.

[airborneranger63]

One time my rabbi told us, “imagine you had a box with a little bit of god in it. What would you do with the box?”

So we were like ?? “We’d protect it and keep it nice and clean and polished” and he was like “your body’s that box. Stop eating markers”

[what-even-is-thiss]

Every time I come across this post the last sentence smacks me in the face

[theshitpostcalligrapher]

oh this post’s back

[starshinelumine]

I would've opened the box and sold the gold. Lesson learned: get surgery and sell your insides.

Athena and Ares are my favourite gods because they both have a lot of courage and willpower. They wouldn't give up just because they are the underdog.

Athena is the god of intelligent war, war with strategy. She plans before she acts. And plans very carefully. She'll still take risks if the need is great enough but she won't act recklessly.

Ares is the god of reckless war but that doesn't mean his tactic isn't effective. He takes his enemies by surprise and while they're unprepared because he acts so fast. He might kill a lot but he does so with respect and honour not brutally unlike what the people think.

They both have very different yet very effective takes on war and they may hate each other but they have a lot in common.

(I think that the story is the same for Minerva and Mars because it's just the names that are different right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

I love how Link and Tali are drawn seriously while Midna's smile is GIANT.

[cookie-waffle-deactivated202511]

I’m glad more people are respecting botw/totk Link as an actual character with some level of depth, but, I think too many of you are forgetting the kinda person he was after losing his memories.

He’s playful, and especially good with kids.

He is HORRIBLE at flirting, or probably only does it as a joke and isn’t serious about it. Might even say things that are inappropriate sometimes.

just a general smartass.

He’s bashful. He breaks the stoic demeanor when told he looks cute in his new outfit or is asked if he has a crush on someone lol.

Other things Link has done that I couldn’t find images of but do actually happen:

- Scamming a creep into giving him his shoes.

- (botw) Trying to actually for real use the “but I’m over 100” excuse at a bar when he was 17, and completely failing at it.

- Drank what is essentially hyrule’s equivalent to sunscreen.

- Actually enjoys eating rocks

When people try to analyze Link’s character, I notice that they try to brush off depictions if his character that are more “silly goofy guy” as ooc, when those interpretations are still actually based in canon evidence.

Even Creating a Champion describes him as “more lively” after waking up. Mipha’s journal mentions he was more happy and extroverted as a young child, implying that he likely became that way due to trauma, but still probably has those playful tendencies.

[morkiemcfly]

And he was also still a teenage boy in BOTW and had that snarkiness that teenaged boys are known to have, while in TOTK he’s a young adult and his dialogue options show how he’s matured but still maintains his canon playful personality sometimes.

[a-bit-too-much-of-a-zelda-fan]

Yes, yes, all of this yes. Now if only he could show some damn positive emotion in cutscenes.

[starshinelumine]

HOW DID YOU MISS LET'S SEAL THE DEAL

[starshinelumine]

If you think about it, Link sleeps in nearly every game.

Like,

botw: sleepy for 100 years,

totk: eepy for a REAALY LONG TIME,

oot and mm: for 7 years also in the start of the game you're in bed and tali or something calls you lazy,

Train game: Zelda is forever sleepy,

Wind Waker: wakes up in watch tower,

TP: children wake you up to play with them,

Skyward sword: you wake up in your bed

And the best of all in Link's "awakening": he's asleep for the ENTIRE GAME.

Please tell me if I missed any or if I'm wrong with some so I can add to the drawing (it's supposed to be bad it's Link's dream)

[starshinelumine]

Ok so I added some things thanks to @lifefromtheloam. He gave me a few situations where Link or Zelda were sleepy. If anyone has any other ideas for this drawing please let me know.

The situations @lifefromtheloam gave me: A Link to the past starts with Zelda waking link up thelapathicly, A Link between worlds has his adoptive brother waking link up and in Adventure of Link Zelda is in a sleepy curse.

[starshinelumine]
