Every character needs to be at least a little pathetic and a little weird. And if they're not pathetic at all then they need to be super weird

saw someone say recently on twitter that “what am i doing with my life????” is a cognitohazard question bc even thinking about it implies that there is necessarily Something you Should be Doing, With your Life, and. they were right. the question itself reframes your understanding of what your life is About in a profoundly negative way
i think “am i crazy for thinking X???????” is also a cognitohazard question for similar reasons. with this you engage with your feelings via the litmus test of how well they compare to whoever is around you, which seems like an annoying waste of time when its already soooooo much fxcking work work just to find out what yr feelings are + what the actual problem is + then do literally anything about it.
i dont know man lol being alive is so tiresome. i would like to shun questions that imply that i am Building Towards something, that i am working on an achievement somehow. simply living is hard enough i am going to do that instead
It's PRIDE MONTH and wanting to start with this little remembrance from queer people in the past.
Finally made some progress on the Upper part of my sphinx piece
Hey… Do you want to do something weird? 👀
#the lower back & tummy bulges are everything#are those period accurate undies on a character from a show where they wear studded goth belts on their foreheads?#classic shoomlah#thanks 4 the meal
ahaha thank you @smovsalt I feel seen by these tags
rebloggin’ the fanart because it’s such a perfect day
there's something so compelling about stories where a character's virtues intensify into flaws that lead to their downfall. loyalty and love becoming so all-consuming that compassion outside of them ceases to exist. duty overwhelming any moral compass until order becomes more important than justice. selflessness so intense it becomes self-destruction. let me watch while whatever saved the hero in the beginning destroys them. let me see them fall to their own worst impulses disguised as what once made them good.
there is no old self to get back to there’s a new u to create n nurture
ive watched a lot of ppl grieve over a version of themselves that they imagine would have existed if only they had [better parents/a normal brain/a healthy body/a cis gender/a functional society that cared for them at all/etc etc etc]
i too indulge those fantasies bc its cathartic sometimes, but lately i am leaning more into acceptance that the imaginary Whole & Perfect Me that i think i would have been under “better” circumstances was never going to exist & has never been relevant to the person that i actually am or the circumstances that i actually have.
at some point, grieving over what could have been gets in the way of building on what is actually there. “o, what my life could have been, if only i had been a wildly different person~” well, so what. that guy ain’t real. i’ve been where i’ve been and i need what i need, you can judge me by the standard of the life i have actually lived, because i am the one who is actually here.

“I’m wearing my own creations as I am Hanbok (traditional Korean clothing) tailor: traditional pattern Jeogori (top) and Baji (pants) in modern fabrics with traditional Korean shoes, tassels and ornaments called Norigae and Goreum and a modern version of the traditional Korean hat called a Ga. My outfit is inspired by 1840s European fashion pattern mixing.”
