Dogs Are A Deeply Alienated And People Pleasing Trans Person's Best Friend 🐾

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.”

I like drawing dinosaurs… But I also like the idea of pangolin Alphys curling up into a ball when she’s nervous.

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!

I wish gay people were real

Horrible evil comic that pained my hands </3

I missed 'draw your faves with your disability' month by a while, but I hope you'll still accept this snippet. Some context and thoughts below the cut if you're curious!

I will project my disabilities onto anyone, but Soldier is the first character I've so heavily headcannoned as d/Deaf. The way he speaks so loud at all times, and he misunderstands the things people say to him as though hearing them wrong, and the way he's viewed as stupid for doing so, it reminds me of being in school as a HoH person. It's hard to explain to someone who hasn't experienced it. Think the 'so it ain't me noggin it's me peepers' Simpsons clip. He was also in near a war, and many soldiers lost hearing from bombs and the constant gunfire.

Pyro's mask would make it very hard to sign considering the lack of expressions to read equates to a huge loss of grammar and sentence structure. Engie designed an LED screen that replaced the material in the eyeholes, and they have a few default expressions to use for emoting, including ? for a question , ^^ for happiness and positive emotion, ◡◡ for sadness or negative emotion, etc. It responds to the actual expression Pyro is making inside the mask!
