Hello, I Hope You And Your Loved Ones Are Safe And Healthy.🙏 Please Read My Message With Your Heart❤️

I just got an ask about a Native spirit that many Natives have asked monsterfuckers to not use.

It starts with a W.

People from the culture it’s from do not say its name because in their culture, saying the name summons the spirit. Out of respect for my friends from that culture, I do not say/type the name either.

I would kindly ask you not put that creature in my ask box in the future. I know the person that submitted it likely didn’t know so there’s no hard feelings. It’s alright. I’m not upset.

I’m not really the best person to educate folks on this topic and I wish I had some resources on why that’s not a good thing for non-Native people to use for their fiction.

I’m sure even my wording here isn’t great. I know the spirit is from a specific Native culture (there’s a lot of them, for those that didn’t know lol) and I can’t remember which one(s) and my brain is still fuzzy from being sick.

So if any of my followers are familiar with this issue, please feel free to share the info of why this isn’t good.

Again, I understand the person that sent the ask likely didn’t know all this. I’m not upset. I just think it’s worth mentioning.

Reblog if you're a writer who re-reads their own work for funsies.

being aroace is genuinely so isolating at times. having character relationships discussions where romance is seen as the "highest" form of a relationship can go. how friendships are sidelined or ignored. when queerplatonic relationships are sometimes written as this "substitute" to a romantic relationship without exploring the nuance there. how it's so hard to just explore art without someone wondering if the characters are going to hook up

kind of obsessed with the characterization of jayce and viktor as fundamentally good people who will also go absolutely batshit insane if you separate them because theyre also ridiculously codependent to a degree that is concerning for everybody else's wellbeing. they were literally away from each other for a couple of months and almost ended the entire world

ALPHYS! You're the skrunkly

She is very happy

The thing with Ink is, he does what he does not because he WANTS people to live in misery, he doesn't look at other's people pain and just, shruggs and call it a day, Ink isn't indifferent.

But they have a purpose, a thing that matters, and he cant just take away people's purpose just because he feels sad for them, THAT would be selfish. Ink knows more than others, he sees through the story itself, but its a shame others cant have this knowledge too, he wish they could.

And looking this through neurodivergent glasses hit different, you wish people could see what you see, sometimes because it's beautiful and it's a shame you see them stuck in their little boxes, and sometimes you feel like they are happier fitting inside that box, and maybe you would be too.

The thing with "Love Like You" (From Steven Universe, for context) its not that its about Pink's love for Blue, or Rose's love for Greg, or Pearl's love for Rose, ite that, it fits every single relationship based in love, in and out of the cartoon.

It always fascinated me how this song fitted every character, every ship, every relationship, and it always resembled me as a song to describe love itself, how to love is to ask "How are you so special, and see me as such too?"

Because its based not only in admiration, but in adoration, in learning how to love yourself as the other does, I dont like the whole "You have to love yourself to someone to love you", I dont think the show intended to give this message, Pink is the message that when loving others truly, you learn to love yourself as others do, she only fighted for her wants when she loved Earth, she only saw the others Gems worth when she saw Garnet, how they can love too.

I dont think you have to love yourself in order to others to love you, you have to learn to love yourself because other people love you too, and you have to see by their eyes how you are, because then you will see how worth of love you are.

Idk this post is a whole mess but i just love this song so much, I always felt this way towards friends and family because of how good I saw them but it was hard to me to do this for me too, the fact you dont love yourself doesnt make you unworthy of someone's else love, simply because it IS hard to love yourself, its not a piece of cake that you'll start abruptly being "Oh im all okay i love myself and everything about me", but its a journey you'll see the worth when learning with others to love you how they do.
