Please look at the dress I made my cat (first thing I ever made and I’m V proud)
She really likes it I’m assuming because she has no problem with me putting it on her but throws a fit when I try to take it off. TY YOUR MY ROLE MODEL!
the design is awesome!! it looks really good but also comfy and non-restrictive for the cat. She is giving me tumblr cottagecore girl who lives in a tiny cottage covered in moss.
something i appreciate about this site is how often i see friends, mutuals and strangers salivating over the most Some Guy looking people i’ve ever seen. i think it’s actually good for your psyche to see people carnally desire people that you would not even think twice about. it’s good for the self esteem, a good reminder that for every random ass person on the world there is a subset of people that wants to do unspeakable things to them
Koraidons are funky (and I’d feed them all my sandwiches if I could)
ursula k le guin said sci fi/fantasy does not have to be about giant wars or battles of good and evil or galactic disaster; it is best served as a lens through which to examine what is actually intrinsic to the human condition and what, once removed a few layers from our own perceptions & assumptions, begins to fall apart. and she was correct.
for the love of god, write all the self-indulgent scenes you want. be utterly shameless about including every last fantasy. i know everyone likes to share quotes and quips about how miserably hard writing is, but please please try thinking of it as a joyful act where you get to be a messy human who makes art rather than some pain filled quest for icy perfection.
this is so comforting honestly. those stories I didn't finish are not a wasted effort, they're actually an important source of nutrients for the brain worms
Contrary to popular belief, abandoned WIPs are crucial to the writer ecosystem, as they become the fertile soil from which completed works grow. Without them, the landscape would be sterile and barren
I hate the animefication of the characters post aa4. The whitewashing (giving phoenix and Maya blue eyes) is so fucked up but also the characters are generally less Round and more Pointy and it sucks so bad. Aa6 phoenix looks WEIRD to me who is that guy. The official art for the trilogy is so warm and nice and silly in comparison. Just wanted to say this thanks.
"animefication" is such a good word for it. you're so right
genuinely it is much better to let yourself feel bad when things creative wise doesn’t do well and remind yourself that it’s okay to feel like this just don’t let it determine your value instead of allowing it to put you in some creative burnout hole
AU idea: when a Fey woman dies of unnatural causes, she can return to life by sacrificing her spiritual power. She wakes up healthy and whole, but normal.
Possibilities include:
Mia or Misty thought they were okay with turning away from their spirit medium heritage, until they wake up unmurdered and realize that they actually can't go back now. (They could even discuss the matter after they both survive!)
Maya could survive the 2-4 Bad Ending, or survive 3-5 in a painfully ironic way
Dahlia and Iris don't have spiritual power because they used it to survive a childhood illness or something
Morgan is sentenced to execution but it just ... doesn't stick. Law enforcement is baffled. She claims she can do it again (she cannot, she's just trolling as many men as possible before she dies)

Sharing drawings makes me happy. So, have some reshared drawings. :D

People who rely on or use image descriptions for art here, I'd really appreciated if you could reply to this poll! I had to put the examples below because they got too long.
If you are not someone who needs, writes or uses image descriptions regularly please do not vote.
Example 1: A drawing of a penguin wearing a hat.
Example 2: A drawing of an emperor penguin wearing a felt hat.
Example 3: A drawing of an emperor penguin facing the viewer wearing a red and green stripped felt hat.
Example 4: A digital drawing of an emperor penguin facing the viewer wearing a red and green stripped felt hat. It has a friendly expression. The background is plain white and the style is non-realistic made of flats with soft textures.
If you can please reblog and share so we can get more input and improve accessibility!

Bonus:
//i rly want an Ace Attorney, Mia Fey game so i did a shitty dialogue exercise of Mia meeting her FANTASTIC ASSISTANT

sending optional hugs to aromantics who has to deal with getting valentine’s day shoved down their throats, who has to deal with questions such as “why don’t you have a partner yet”, who has to deal with people telling them “you just haven’t found the right person yet!”, and even having to get told that “aros don’t belong in the queer community” by other queer people, which is absolutely disgusting.
y’all are good exactly the way you are. 🫂
[ID: four pictures of a heart symbol that has the aromantic flag colours painted on: dark green, light green, white, grey and black. The paint drips on the sides, making the heart look wet. The background is black. The second and third pictures each contain a white overlaying three-word text in three lines, one word per line. The second word is over the heart symbol. The text of the second picture says "you are worthy." The text of the third picture says "you are valid." Both texts are in lowercase letters and end with a period./end ID]
To all the Writers Suffering from Depression
It’s okay. Your desire to write will return. Your desire to do other things you love will come back, too. You’re not weak. You’re just having a hard time right now. Try not to add self-judgment on top of everything else. Depression is hard enough without blaming yourself for it.
We (in the US specifically) live in a productivity-obsessed, emotion-phobic culture which blames individuals for “failing” when they are anything but hyper-productive and relentlessly optimistic. This cultural narrative so pervasive that it’s difficult to see the high standards we set for ourselves for what they really are: Complete and total bullshit.
Despite the rampant cultural garbage that teaches us to interpret emotional ups and downs as an aberration, MANY writers and artists (and people in general!) struggle with depression and other mood “disorders.” It is not uncommon for us, among other things, to go through periods of hyperactivity followed by depressive episodes in which we get very little accomplished. I am not saying you shouldn’t try to alleviate your depression or work to find ways to minimize your suffering in the short or long term. I’m just saying there’s nothing wrong with you, and you aren’t alone.
I’m going to say that again:
If you’re having a hard time writing or enjoying writing right now because you’re depressed, you aren’t alone.
I wish I had some kind of magical answer. I don’t. But I do know that accepting your depression and loving yourself anyway beats the hell out of berating yourself for feeling like this. So, with that in mind, this might be all I have to offer:
I think you’re doing a great job. I’m sorry you feel like shit. I’m on your side whether you’re writing or not; whether you feel good or not; whether you’re being “productive” or not; whether you wanted to get out of bed this morning or not. You’re still a writer in my mind, even if you’re not writing right now. You don’t have to prove yourself to me or anyone else. And I hope you feel better soon.
One ironic thing that I love about the hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy is that Douglas Adams apparently was determined to write and create a sci-fi story that showed the future positively, to avoid it being like the depressive prediction of the future that blade runner portrayed. That being said, the first hitchhiker book starts with the main character's house being bulldozed to build a bypass by the council, then immediately after this happens, the entire earth is also destroyed for a space bypass by an intergalactic council
ace attorney fans seeing a brown-eyed character being given blue eyes in more recent games and going "heterochromia" has got to stop. stand ur ground. love their brown eyes as they are unabashedly
growing up as a cis girl the patriarchy told me “you’re a girl because of the way you were born, there is nothing you can do about this, you have no say in your gender” and i hated being a girl because it wasn’t my choice it was a prison and the trans community told me “you’re a girl because you say so, your view of yourself is the most important thing, if you change your mind that would be ok” and it made me proud to be a girl and feel empowered in my gender and i wasn’t trapped anymore and then terfs come along and tell me “you’re a girl because of the way you were born, there is nothing you can do about this, you have no say in your gender (but like in a woke way)” and they somehow expect me to be on their side?
