I caught another really rare Pokémon! This one must be an evolved form of a Fuzzberta, cause it’s way fatter. #PokemonGO #pokemon #gottacatchemall
PS. Check out our Fuzzberta Etsy shop!
How would everyone feel if I started a second account that worked along a similar basis of what WinterBreakPrompts did? So a side blog dedicated to sharing prompts and promoting people’s works as well as hosting things like fic exchanges?
Let me know! 🙂
DOOOO IT
*re-reads my own story*: Damn this is some good shit
*gets to the part where I stopped writing*: WTF WHERE’S THE REST OF IT HOW DO I GET MORE
Brain: You’re the author, if you want more you have to write it
Me: *flips tables*
So Felipe is at Grove on the simulator today, and I’m just up the road… :3a Not that I’ll go, cos I wouldn’t have a clue what to do without the rest of the crew around lol. But also, he’s not posted on ig since Monday so I wonder if he went home – or was he in the uk, possibly doing contract stuff*?? I keep seeing road signs for Enstone, I should’ve gone on a stake out… :/a
*Or alternatively having an extended ~debrief with certain engineers (
I don’t know much about Maru, mostly just him being Shige’s friend and fooling around a lot but then I saw this… holy shit, son. This is… woah. I just thought “this is the man who does the meat dance…”
There are certain aspects of Tumblr culture that I find really creepy.
Pulling receipts on people is one of them.
Even creepier, the people who go out of their way to send asks like “Just so you know, you reblogged so-and-so and they said something homophobic three years ago.”
Okay? So? I’m just here reblogging dog pictures and funny screen caps from trash tv shows. I don’t really care what so-and-so said three years ago.
You know who else said ignorant shit three years ago? Me.
You know who else said ignorant shit three years ago? You, probably.
I mean, if I reblog something from someone who is actively, currently, human garbage… like if I reblog something from someone who is on par with Donald Trump, go ahead and tell me.
Otherwise, maybe just let it go and stop pouring so much energy into policing the internet. Most of the people here are in their teens and early twenties. They are going to say ignorant shit that they regret!
If you are currently in your teens and twenties and you’re bristling at the idea that you too may be saying ignorant shit that you are going to regret, just you wait and see.
Growing up is a constant progression of looking back at your past self and thinking “Oh god, what the fuck was wrong with me?”
Mate, I’m in my mid-30s and I still constantly say stuff that I regret. You don’t suddenly acquire all worldly wisdom by age 30.
Most random dream: dreamt i was kissing Chris Addison, who i have almost no knowledge of except through the occasional rt, or gif from the thick of it. Even more random: i was thinking “i need to tell @kobayboshi!” as if it would be of great interest to her.
all those self-care posts would be so much better if they didn’t include getting dolled up, putting on make-up etc. honestly in a society where women’s mental health already relies on their appearance this is such an unnecessary thing to advise people to do. like i get it, applying makeup can be comforting for some people (including myself) but why exactly? why do we never question why changing our natural faces makes us feel more confident, and instead just accept this as something that just is and can’t be changed? when i’m feeling sad or anxious the last thing i want to do is care about my appearance tbh. it’s so incredibly important and mentally healing to accept that your natural face without makeup is beautiful. and it’s possible to pamper yourself without putting on makeup. taking off your makeup however is the biggest liberation and empowerment.
I’m too tired to find sources and images and whatever, but this is literally how they used to assess women’s mental health and still is a lot of the time. If women wore baggy clothes, didn’t wear make up, didn’t have perfect hair or rejected femininity in any way it was used as a sign of their mental health, a sign that they were crazy and needed fixing. Women wouldn’t be able to free themselves from institutions until they began to conform to femininity. Associating self care with femininity is kinda really fucked up considering we used to get sectioned purely for not being feminine enough.
And this shit is still happening. I’ve been told that my eating disorder would be fixed if I just took more care of my appearance, I’ve repeatedly been told that my appearance is just a result of my mental health, that once I feel better I’ll be more feminine again and I should ‘fake it till I make it’.
The whole thing is fucked up and I highly reject any ‘self-care’ that is rooted in beauty standards and forced femininity.
“I’m troubled with using “beauty” as a synonym for feeling valuable and powerful and magnificent. It’s not far removed from nominally inspiring, but ultimately shallow, slogans like “Confidence is sexy” and “Nothing is more attractive than happiness” that treat emotional well-being as an accessory. I seek happiness because it feels good, not because it makes my hair shinier. Happiness, confidence, self-esteem—these things should be ends, not means.”
See also: friend of a friend who went to a&e because she was feeling suicidal, but was dismissed because she was wearing make up so she “couldn’t be that bad”.
There’s just too many things to worry about atm and I’m getting myself into a spiral of anxiety so I’m just going to continue thinking about Felipe asking Rob to ~take his mind off all the crappy things that have been happening lately/are still happening and may continue to for an indefinite period. 😐
