Can one of those youtube shorts people read a bunch of posts about this new tumblr update? Staff is notorious within tumblr for being made up vindictive nobodies who don't really exist to do anything beyond announce new features people don't want and nuke the blogs of trans women, but I don't think the outsiders know!

I need help

I know I said a while back that I wouldn’t talk about political issues on my Tumblr anymore, but I’d like to ask for your advice given the situation my country is going through and, well… what that might mean for my life.

It turns out that the new president, who took office a few days ago, is someone who was a supporter of the former dictator who ruled Chile for nearly 30 years. My field of study has never been History, but I tend to recognize certain historical patterns that tend to repeat themselves, and I’m really worried about what might happen with this new person in power.

I feel like his campaign was based on scaring people into voting for him, positioning himself as the country’s new savior—something that also happened during the dictatorship. At my old school, there have already been threats to expel students if they don’t show support; he’s cutting funding for environmental and educational programs (which directly affects my work), and there’s also the possibility of releasing people who violated human rights (both during the dictatorship and in subsequent contexts).

Today, after talking to someone, I just burst into tears. I’m really scared; I’m worried that this will keep going this way. I know my family is against these ideas, just like me, and there have already been precedents in the past where people who think differently “disappear.”

I'm just scared and don't know what to do. I don't have the money to meet these new demands, and I haven't found a job that would allow me to pay off my debts.

I know there are people following my account who are in countries with similar situations, and I’d like to ask for your advice: What do you do to avoid feeling overwhelmed? How do you cope when the future looks uncertain?

First of all, if you’ve read this far, thank you so much. I’m sorry this isn’t related to what I usually post, but I needed to get this off my chest 😔✨💕

You make me sick Elia.

I'm fucking disgusted by your actions. No one should have to openly admit they're being stalked just because you can't log out of a goddamn app and get a life. You make me sick. And I want everyone on this god damn platform to know it. You took away one of the things I looked forward to every day. (Not on the creator's fault here. What they did and said about all this was completely justified. If you see this just know I support you 100% even if I am just a silly little guy on the internet)

I know you won't see this. But if anyone on my page supports @good-game-432 (formerly known as @gamer-girl-427 or G_G) then get the fuck out. She is 100% in the wrong. I knew her. She would talk about how sorry she was about everything and that she was trying to “be better” but obviously that's not fucking happening.

In fact she had the audacity to come to me in a discord server with her friend and all told us to block this creator and never interact with them. Most people agreed to but I had to put my foot and give myself a reality check. I've known her for 2 fucking months. I'm not giving up the content from—honest to god—my favorite person on here because she said I have too.

To the creator of which was the one who's being stalked: I won't tag you and I dont know if you'll ever see this as I don't want to make this more uncomfortable as it already is, But just know once again I support you and agree that what she's doing is terrible and I’m sorry it has affected you so. Nobody deserves to feel like you have- especially feel like you need to come forward about it. You're awesome and amazing and you do whatever you need to do now.

“Hey, Spread the Happy 💮💞💮after you have received this, say five things that make you happy, after that post it and send this exact thing to ten recent people in your notification Or Don't ^^”

Thank you @miss-chaos-2710 for tagging me.

Five things that currently make me happy are (in no particular order):

Playing Videogames, this one is a random one but Sims and Subnautica and evening Minecraft are helping me get through the days at the moment so.

Chatting to ma pals. Whether it be on discord, Instagram or even tumblr (shoutout to @miss-chaos-2710 and @mebro1174 in my spam chat who are always free to rant and chat with).

Watching TV. Not even TV just like cartoons and shows where I can relate to the characters. This year has brought about the end of a multitude of amazing shows (TTS and Steven Universe) but it’s has also seen the return of some of my favourites (Haikyuu!! and BNHA). Rewatching old shows and discovering new ones brings me joy. (Any recs, feel free to message me!)

Reading, especially taking a long, hot bubble bath and reading. I have a special place in my heart for traditional paper books but any book will do. I love reading; fan fiction, webtoons, graphic novels, manga, classics, just stories. Nothing is better than a good plot. (Again if you have any recommendations feel free to suggest them.)

A final little piece of happiness for me is music. I’m an epic music fan and my music often reflects my emotions. Even when I’m sad and I stick on sad songs, I end up somehow feeling better and switching the music to something more joyful and hopeful. Music of all kinds is incredible and it makes me very happy.

As I have listed five things, I will also list five people:

@cue-the-theme-song @mebro1174 @eclpise-is-calling @tinycerberus @cat-cupcake

We all have to find our happy place at the moment to stay sane. So I encourage everyone to share what makes them happy to help others find their joys

- oh god that was so cheesy but oh well.

My high school has skits for each grade every year (I don’t know if this is normal) and this year the theme was Its the 80s. Anyway, the freshman did some sort of Pac-Man Game thing and people were the white balls that Pac-Man eats and the ghosts. But every time a ghost is eaten the white ball people are supposed to yell “Power up!” But none of them did and the teacher got on to them in the middle of the skit. This random freshman girl started crying and yelled, “I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing, this is too much pressure!”

And honestly, I relate.

I just realized that my mind isn't in the right place to write or draw right now because I'm so stressed out.

Maybe I'll use the next few days on my blog as a sort of personal diary or commentary on the current situation in my country, since I think that might help clear my head of all this stress and anxiety...

I'd like to know what you guys think about that, though—I'm worried about filling my blog with outside drama...
