I think when you correctly identify a trauma that is the base of a woe of yours it should just disappear. It should be like "aaahh. you got me" and vanish and leave 100 dollars behind

Helping my My Sister in Law

Dani is trying to raise money to fix her teeth. For a long while she’s suffered from pain caused by teeth problems.

She’s a wonderful person and a real joy in my life. One of my longest held friends. She’s the one who has been helping me beta and outline Chained to You for the last couple chapters. I love her so.

I’ll do what I can to help her raise money for this, I’ll be donating too. But if anyone else out there would like to help out, both her and I would be so grateful.

Thanks for your consideration. Here’s a link to her go fund me.

Hello to anyone who might be reading this. My name is Dani. I’m trying to raise funds to, as the title here … Dani O’Hara needs your suppor

I took my cat to the vet yesterday and the bill was $660 because we had to run some tests on him; we hadn't even gotten the results yet, I ended up having to take him to the emergency vet today. So far I'm out a few thousand dollars and may have to pay a few thousand more if he has to stay longer for recovery.

So commissions will be very much appreciated right now (info on my pinned post). Or if you have any ideas on what videos I can make to put on YouTube, let me know.

It’s okay to grieve for lost potential.

It’s okay to grieve for time spent surviving instead of living.

It’s okay to wish you could go back and change the past.

And it’s okay if you don’t feel up to it yet, but one day you’ll be able to stand up and decide to create a new future to make up for it. 💞

Spoopy! A remake of this old thing

Who needs to draw backgrounds when you have CSP assets?

My room is set up again! Getting back into the swing of things and there's nothing like cleaning out my WIP folder. This is a redraw of my old Snow White and Rose Red AU that I never explored any further. I enjoyed the early ML days when Bridgette and Felix were sometimes thrown in the mix as relatives of Marinette and Adrien.

I could have sworn I posted this but I guess I dreamed it ;;

More redraws! Though I really only fixed their faces and recolored. This was from 2016 when I hit 1,000+ followers on Tumblr.

I know, I know. It's a waste of time redrawing these, but I'm sort of in a rut regarding my original stuff. I jumped the gun and went gungho into originals even though I hadn't planned enough to actually get anywhere. These are pretty mindless so they give me a chance to organize my thoughts better.

When I’m sad I think about my little Sphinx Yugi. And he makes me smile. He is my cutie patootie baby bean and I love him.

I am sad. Things are rough. Look at these old Sphinx Yugi sketches that my friend cleaned up for me and made all pretty.

Peddling my Sphinx AU again. Pwease read it. It will make me happy. It’s about two idiots in love. Just absolute whimsical shenanigans. Basically my own take on an ancient Egypt AU, except I wanted Yugi to be powerful. A lot of Ancient Egypt AUs make Yugi a slave, or in someway weak or helpless in comparison to Atem. They put him in a position of vulnerability. But I wanted to take a crack at the Ancient Egypt AU and instead make Yugi a character that is both powerful and capable, while still retaining his kindness and sincerity.

Sphinx Yugi AU

Rated: E

Puzzleshipping

Summary: A sudden and mysterious sandstorm separates Pharaoh Atem from his priests and soldiers during a skirmish. After wandering blindly, he takes refuge in an oasis, where he wakes up the next morning quite literally on top of a Sphinx.

This Sphinx wants to be his friend though, and Atem can’t help falling for him.

I found this really important tiktok about what to do if a Jehovah's Witness or Morman missionary comes to your door:

thefriendlyneighborhoodpervert

I spent some time in a Jehovah's Witness church. They're exceptionally skilled at recruiting people into their church. (And I was an ATHEIST)

I left after a couple months, I stayed just long enough to see that they explicitly believe women are inferior to men, and of course, that homosexuality is a sin on par with murder.

The whole missionary door to door thing is NOT how Jehovah's Witnesses recruit. That is how they convince their members that the world is out to get them. One of the first things they teach is that Jesus requires you to try to convert non Christians to the faith. (They say non Christian but mean non JW.)

Then they say, "look how people treat us, just for the crime of wanting to save their soul"

They have long time church members tutor the incoming members to smooth the process over. They're trained to smooth away any doubts you may have about the church.

It is a textbook cult but because it's a Christian cult, nobody will do anything about it.

gottalovecatss

I just wanted to share, in case no one realizes how messed up JW can be, my family only left after the elders followed around my teenage aunts and other young women to "ensure they weren't sinning" and my great-grandparents STILL stayed!

Exmormon here, this is TRUE, to reiterate from satanslover above, “The whole missionary door to door thing is NOT how Jehovah's Witnesses recruit. That is how they convince their members that the world is out to get them.”

The same is true of mormonism. I know how annoying the missionaries are, but please take just ten seconds to be polite to them instead, please support cult victims 💖💖

Here’s why you should not try to scare Mormons or Jehovah’s Witnesses that come knocking on your door:

It might be funny, in the moment, to say, “oh, sorry, I can’t go to church on Sundays, that’s when I sacrifice aborted fetuses to Beelzebub.” But it can be damaging in the long run to anyone who is thinking about escaping their cult. People who are in cults are told that the outside world is evil, and while they may not like conditions of the cult they’re in, they’re guaranteed that the outside world is ten times worse; and you trying to scare them away can reinforce those beliefs.

What’s recommended by cult experts (and cult escapees) is that you take the time and listen to them if you have the time. Then you can politely deny, and say “sorry, I’m not interested”, or “sorry, I’m [this other religion]”. I like to give snacks or bottled water to anyone. If it’s Jehovah’s Witness kids, I like to ask if they watch Caleb and Sophia, which is a popular Jehovah’s Witnesses cartoon.

The idea is to plant the seed in their mind that the outside world isn’t so bad and that they can leave if they want to.
