Enby aroace is so funny to me. It's like you're told to choose between supposed definites and you just went no thank you.

I love when a fic mischaracterize a character known for being broke by making them pay for dinner. Like, no sir, they can't pay five for parking. Their bank account is in the negatives. They're kind of maybe homeless and unemployed depends on who you're asking.

Butterfly as symbol of metamorphosis from plain to beauty. Being touched by a butterfly is luck. Butterfly effect being a small change that changes the whole thing. Butterfly symbolism is cheff kiss

Now, imagine: butterflies as allegory of trauma. Butterflies looks beautiful, but some species like Purple Emperor — the male ones specifically — eats corpses. The female ones eats rotten fruit. If butterflies swarm you, you're rotten. Similarly, it also means cycle of rebirth, which can be twisted to cycle of abuse.

Hi :) Once you get this, you have to say five things you like about yourself, publicly. Then you have to send this to ten of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool~)

I like how I look exactly like both of my parents. I like how I look my face looks, how my arms look, how my legs look. I don't feel the need to change anything to trends, beauty standards, or whatever. I used to have eczema, but it doesn't bother me anymore with proper ointment.

I like my simultaneous bilingualism in my native language, Indonesian and English. Helps in translating texts and dialogues on the spot. I'm hoping to learn more languages in the future.

I like how imaginative I am. It can leads to situation like morbidly detailed nightmares, but it helps in story building

I like how I can be reliable and supportive in groups. As long as you don't try to take advantage of me or ignore me, I will try my best to deliver.

I like how gentle I can be. I have been told that I pet my closest ones like cats. A pat to the head. A tap to your cheeks. A caress through your back.
