Tinuelena is making me say ten things I like about myself publicly.

I writes darn good.

I'm pretty smart.

I no longer believe I am ugly, and I like this.

(oh boy, it's getting hard now) I have attracted and kept some very good friends.

I'm done agonizing over "should I say it, will I look like a weirdo?" and now I says it, and I'm fine with lookin' like a weirdo.

I used to be able to play the piano and someday I hope to be able to again.

(now i feel like i'm making shit up and not sticking to the spirit of the thing) I'm not yet as overweight as I might be, with my genes.

My hair finally looks as good as it should.

I no longer have to deal with the teenage hormones that convinced me everything hurt way more than it should, especially having crushes on unattainable people.

I have the balls to do nude modeling, which makes up for the horrible shame-filled cowering in locker rooms for phy-ed, trying to change without ever being actually naked or anyone seeing you at all.

8, 20, 33, 40

8: talk about the thing you are most proud ofi'm really proud of how college has gone for me so far. i've got a high gpa, done several shows, and built an amazing friend group, all in one year. i'm shit at adapting to new situations so i was terrified for college, but everything has gone beautifully and i'm proud of how well i've adjusted.

20: talk about something that happened in high schoolafter prom, our massive group of like 20 people went to one of our friends' dad's sports complex. we stayed up all night playing board games and eating and running around. at like 7 in the morning, we all drove home, and my sister read everyone in the car 'go the fuck to sleep'.

33: talk about what you do when you are sadwatch the dance sequence from (500) days of summer. go through my happy tag. eat. sleep. wallow. binge watch tv.

40: talk about the end of something in your lifewhen high school ended, it didn't really feel any different than before, only now i wasn't in high school anymore. my senior year was kinda shitty, so i was completely ready to get out of there and not have to deal with being looked down on and disregarded. there wasn't really a transitional period where i dealt with the last twelve years of my life coming to a close. it just happened. and it's better that way, tbh.

I LOVE YOU. AND PREACH IT.

I love that I made this post and then I saw you made a somewhat similar post about hate and I'm just sitting here like "We may not have seen each other in years but WE STILL GOT IT!"

Your Flaws.

(Because Tinuelena asked for it.)

I learned this from talking to artists that I idolized. They all think they're mediocre. I've never met a really good anything who wasn't convinced she/he was actually just okay. After two minutes, at most, it all comes out. "I always get the composition wrong." "My hands suck." "I don't know how to shade in color." "It's only ever going to be a hobby--I'm just not good enough." 

The trick is that everyone is always comparing their finished pieces to what they'd imagined it might be, and there's always a string of differences and things that didn't get absolutely nailed. You can see just how far you fell short of your goal.

Well, you know what? Fuck that. Because you are the only person who can see inside your head. You're the only person who knows that you wanted the fingers to be be muscular, or wanted that red to be more vibrant, or whatever. Everyone else is only seeing what you actually got down on paper/canvas, etc. They don't know that you meant to do something else, and they have every right to like what you did for its own sake.

This goes for your looks and personality and everything else. They don't know how your voice sounds to you in your own head, and they don't think you sound like Mickey Mouse, because they're not comparing it to the deeper, more resonant sound you can only have in your own head. They don't think you're fat, because they don't know this is the biggest you've ever been. All these comparisons are invisible to everyone but you.

Thank you! I may have to take you up on that some time. *hugs*

Fandom: Thor

Summary: Repression of a traumatic childhood incident leads Loki down a destructive, violent path. Eventually, Thor learns the truth about what really happened and takes pity on Loki, rescuing him from brutal Asgardian justice and bringing him back to Earth. He doesn’t plan to let his brother off the hook for his crimes, but he knows he’ll be destroyed on Asgard. This unsettles the Avengers, with the exception of Natasha, who knows the value of second chances.
