everytime i see that post comparing redemption arcs to restorative justice and criticizing redemption arcs to being a cop i can’t help but laugh. sweetie these are stories. with different plots and themes and all that. writing a story where the villain doesn’t choose to be a better person in the end can mean a lot of different things in context, “evil people are unable to change and need the death penalty” is literally only one (1) of them. it can mean “trying to force someone to change when they don’t want to is just a waste of time and energy”. it can mean “even when given all the second and third and eleventh chances some people will still choose what benefits them over the wellbeing of others”. it can mean “learn to tell apart a sincere apology from the reconciliation phase in the cycle of abuse”. but you guys aren’t ready for that conversation
??? why are “friends with benefits” now considered a cringe straight people thing???? friends can fuck. it’s literally fine
people on here are like “you CANNOT fuck someone unless you really love them and are in a long term romantic relationship with them!!!!!!! oh but sex workers are valid hehe”
someone on tiktok will be like “i’m not ready/looking for for a romantic relationship but i have a lot of stress so my friend and i consensually bone sometimes and it makes us both feel better” and someone on tumblr will post a screenshot of it and say “ewwww why can’t you just be normal??” while simultaneously claiming to be sex-positive
also aromantic people can have sexual relationships. that doesn’t make them “less pure” or whatever. who cares
why do i end up sitting straight up in my sleep. ignore how many blankets I use.
Bestie it is impossible to ignore the amount of blankets you use at first I assumed this was a meme and those were the layers of the crust of the earth
I actually have 4 more blankets I sometimes add but I didn’t want to make my blanket number look excessive
Are you okay
The results are inconclusive on that.
Bestie. the reason you end up sitting up is your lungs think you are being crushed.
god I really wish people weren’t so fucking judgmental and cruel towards diabetic people who still eat a lot of sugar. partially because it’s not their business, and because how much they clearly don’t understand how diabetes works.
In case you didn’t know, diabetes is when, for whatever reason, your body doesn’t have enough insulin. Both types of diabetes can be caused by many things- genetics are the largest deciding factor, but it can also be influenced by things like autoimmune and diseases stress (and things that cause stress, like poverty or being a minority). It is a myth that you can give yourself diabetes by eating sugar, and a myth that you can stop it by dieting.
Type 1 happens when your body can’t make enough/any insulin, and type two happens when your cells become insulin resistant and there isn’t enough going around.
But what is insulin, and what does it do? Insulin is a hormone your body produces to aid in absorbing glucose (sugar) in your blood, allowing it to enter your cells and provide energy needed to live. This means that when there is no insulin, or insulin resistance is high enough, your cells can’t absorb glucose. This is essentially the same as starving, because your cells aren’t getting any energy. This causes not just a blood glucose to rise (which itself can cause damage to your body), but also makes you body slam the hunger button and craving for sugar- because it wants energy as fast as possible. Going through this repeatedly (a constant occurrence for many diabetics) is also super stressful on the body, and prompts it to want to gain weight as a survival strategy against starving.
So yeah no shit diabetic people often crave sugar and are often fat- their body is desperately trying to make sure they survive ✌️
non diabetics super encouraged to read and rb btw just please don’t derail or be disrespectful
Listen to me. You can wear a croptop even if you’re fat. You can wear a bikini. A short skirt. A dress with an open back. Biker shorts. You can wear whatever you want.
Sorry but in the year of our lord 2024 if your game has elaborate character customization and you can’t be fat WITH tummy jiggle physics in your fucking rtx raytracing photorealism game then you’re a fucking hack
idk. it’s never too late to start drawing. get a wacom intuos for 44 bucks and pirate an art program. use the billions of tools available to make it easier. trace 3d models. redraw existing drawings. make an elf and draw her 3000 times. you can do it. and if you are actually unable to hold a pen, dont go typing in prompts for some ai art, write fanfiction or original stuff. writing is art. it has just as much value it just takes longer than 1 second to appreciate
AI bros don’t understand that a crooked mapaint doodle will always be more delightful than just a shiny photorealistic anime woman
If anyone wants to know where the UK is currently at, disability campaigners have lost a battle over making it a legal requirement for high-rise flats to have an evacuation plan for disabled residents.

An artist : Aw man! I saw my arts were reposted on Instagram. I’ve asked them to take my arts down but they ignored me.
Me : Say no more! Click this link, then click ‘fill out this form’. Fill the form and wait for about 1-2 days, the staffs will remove the image you were reporting from the reposter’s account :^)
hope you don’t mind me adding some more info :’D
Many websites have those complaint forms you need to fill out to submit DMCA notice. Here are some of them:
If you can’t wash it off, paint over it, replace the item, or buff it out, turn a message of hate into one of love!
I would never condone someone to do this discreetly and in mere seconds with a quickly concealed permanent marker, for example on a public bench or bus stop. Certainly not anything like whipping out a tat machine and adding to an unconscious white supremacist’s existing tattoo. That would be illegal! :) And, dear followers, I would never encourage you to do something that’s illegal.
So, please only use this when someone has defaced your personal property to avoid breaking the law! Because that would be illegal, and following in the law is always in everyone’s best interest. :)
I said it’s a BONE. DRAGON. The type. of. dragon. is. BONE!!! It’s MADE of BONES!!! Not-
You know what? never mind. why do I even bother
One time my friend was telling us about the story he was writing and got to the point about a throne made of bones… which he of course named the Bone Throne.
I get so angry-sad at people that put banners like this on their art. I don’t think you putting so much emotional stock into audience engagement is the artist empowerment move you think it is
I’m nearing 4 thousand followers soon and the engagement my art gets given my follower count is rather low, and there are many times I’ve spent hours on something only for it to get a mid to high number of double digit notes. But what a clinical and strange way to analyze the worth of what you create. If you’re making the art you want to see and that your friends want to see, why do you give a shit about the appraisal of strangers? Why view liking art as something diminutive to be discouraged? This mindset is so alien to me. I hate ever sounding like I’m up on my high horse but if you get this bummed out about posting art online then I don’t think you should. You should be having fun first
“this character is autistic coded so headcanoning them as aro/ace is wrong because you’re reinforcing the idea that autistic people are incapable of having romantic or sexual relationships” DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MANY ASPEC PEOPLE ARE ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM
