Shrymf - What The Scallop?

Honestly I really admire your strong will. I tend to be a bit of a people pleaser, so to see someone defend their ideas so strongly is very inspirational. I also really like that you actually engage with canon and don’t just reaper the canon stuff like so much of the AA fandom tends to do, breath of fresh air.

I hope you have a great day/night

it is a service to your fellow humans to not be a people pleaser. the people around you want to know when you're uncomfortable. they want to know your boundaries so they can respect them. they want to know when they've upset you so they can treat you better. being a "people pleaser" might feel like a net good, but in reality all people pleasers do is make their friends Guess when they are upset/uncomfortable, and that is not a kind thing to do to anyone.

the people who react poorly to you having boundaries are not people you want in your life because that is the reddest of red flags and pretty baseline. there's no time like the present to start being kinder to the people around you, and a great way to do that is to make some noise when you're unhappy.

anyways i love viddy game! thanks for watching my videos!

happy drawtectives season 3 to all who celebrate!!! ♥

bonus: pov you just found out that your beautiful son lost his memory. AGAIN.

bell hooks mentioned going through a time in her life where she was severely depressed and suicidal and how the only way she got through it was through changing her environment: She surrounded her home with buddhas of all colors, Audre Lorde’s A Litany for Survival facing her as she wakes up, and filling the space she saw everyday with reinforcing objects and meaningful books. She asks herself each day, “What are you going to do today to resist domination?” I also really liked it when she said that in order to move from pain to power, it is crucial to engage in “an active rewriting of our lives.”

Your art is so cute !! Could I request Silvally/Type: null if it’s not too much trouble? (either pokemon is fine!)

:D

This passage paraphrases a journal entry of mine. Being transmasc and feeling nonhuman is inseparable for me. I'm as much of a boy as I am a dog: entirely, impossibly.

I've always interpretted AJ as a psychological canine therian. Feeling/wanting to be a dog fits reallyyyy well with his character and is not just me projecting, I promise :3. His self worth is entirely dependent on how well he can serve his loved ones, he enjoys being a comforting, passive presence, he doesn't believe he'll ever be fully "at home" in his body no matter what changes, etc etc.

May or may not revisit dogboy!AJ, it might be too niche. Arf arf

Hey. It’s super valid to have big feelings about boundaries your loved ones put up. It’s super valid if you feel hurt or caught off guard by an unexpected change.

But please don’t take this out on the other person.

Them putting up boundaries is something they’re doing because they want to keep you in their life. Boundaries help build healthy and fulfilling relationships. It isn’t a personal attack at you.

It’s okay if you need to ask for some reassurance, or something like that. But please don’t guilt them or make them responsible for your feelings.
