From that one time I made a Scully sprite bc I thought it'd be funny to write an Earthbound X-Files mod which fwiw I still think is an amazing idea it's just firmly in the category of 'I will never find the time'

Our behaviors don't always reflect who we are. They do tend to reflect strategies we were taught & saw modeled for how to get our needs met-- often by parents & others who were wounded & dysregulated. As we heal & regulate & recover, our strategic options expand. Give it time.

ref for 🎼rāyma in crane form rāyma has several forms but this is her main so i've been meaning to do this for a while, it just took a bit because her main form and ref took more research, she has a lot of symbolism

I've got so much to say about how fandom anti culture on the Internet really fucks with moral scrupulosity OCD, POCD, and confession compulsions. and takes advantage of people that deal with those types and those urges.

person with OCD here o/ I'll just say one thing: YES, I experience this moral panic EVERY DAY inside my head. I've had worse days, but it's still difficult to deal with certain types of intrusive thoughts, even with therapy.

I wasn’t going to post this here originally because I have no idea how to format mini comics for Bluesky, but my tumblr crowd loved it so much I thought I might as well :) Trans rights now! 🏳️‍⚧️

Extra hard shale.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOiZ... Absolute banger For yeeeears, it would get stuck in my head, but I never knew the name of it or who it was by. Literally years. Then finally (either earlier this year or late last year), on the way to an appt, it played on the radio AND NOW THE MYSTERY IS SOLVED

Last night, Elodie really wanted to jingle the wind chimes over in the ceiling's corner, but she couldn't reach it. After several sad mews and failed attempts, she finally did it She finally jingle jangle jingled I'm so proud of her <3 (note: camera gets blurry at times)

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQU7... Today's shitpost is brought to you by: my brain going, "I fart so hard and fart so far, but in the end, I fart" So I edited that into a video Then I got more ideas & rolled with it until it became this (No shade-- it's a great song, & much respect to the band)

This whole situation with the payment processors and banks' war on art/porn is a strong case for implementing Universal Basic Income.

Oh wow, somehow I didn't realize AdorkaStock was on bluesky-- I had to follow immediately I've been a huuuuuge fan of their stock poses for years now

i feel like we have to let people make art about amoral subjects. If we don't then we have someone (??) deciding what IS moral and what is not in the realm of thoughts. I just don't think we should make it illegal to think about something, even visually.

It is not your fault you were conditioned to believe numbness & dissociation were necessary for survival. Your abusers & bullies planted that belief in you on purpose-- because a "you" who is purposefully & compassionately present does not tolerate or cover up their behavior.

For those having it extra rough: It’s okay to cry, even if it’s only to yourself. No one will judge you because it’s just you slowly trying to heal yourself by letting what’s inside out. And that’s just fine to do. … Sometimes it’s very hard to take your own advice. But it’s always doable.

Yep. Almost like people will be more willing to participate in society if their needs are met. This also includes needs like "places to exist in public without expectation of paying for the privilege" and "places where it is actually nice and accessible to exist outside in fresh air."

I almost forgot to post this So, in Pokemon Sleep, I have a marowak that I never gave a name to, but I liked to put him in my helper team every now & then Today, I thought of the perfect name: Jack Marowak I made myself laugh so hard that I just had to name him that! (a play on Jack Kerouac)

I don't know anyone who was lectured into long term recovery, by themselves or anyone else. Yes, sometimes we need a reality check, & sometimes that can be hard. But realty checks don't have to be humiliating or trigger memories of verbal abuse. Tone & approach matter.

i love you beginner artists. i love you even if you're trying to learn art in your 60s. sharing your art can be scary if you are new to art and learning, but don't ever let mean people stop you. your art is important and beautiful because it's yours. keep creating, now more than ever.

The three big, common triggers for most CPTSD survivors are feeling trapped, feeling controlled; & feeling "in trouble." They mirror the conditions that make complex trauma "complex:" it was inescapable, it unfolded over time, & it permeated our most important relationships.

lucky day by chuck tingle came in the mail earlier and im very excited to read it later i think i might have to wait my turn though, im not sure what kiki is planning with it

Elodie was playfighting her tent She was being so cute that I petted her, so she decided to playfight my hand too Awwwwww

Earlier, Kiki had gone into the cat tree's little house When Elodie noticed this, she went to go check on her! It was so cute <3 (also, you can see how long she is when she stands on her hind paws! Oolong baby. She can be your loaf or your noodle)

There is strength in your sensitivity. Sustainable trauma recovery is going to ask you to own that strength without shame. It's your secret weapon in a world that doesn't understand the power of a soft heart-- tethered to an iron will.

tell me about it, tiny aloe plant on the counter at the cafe near my house

Been playing Mass Effect lately.

The reason victims have to document and bring forth every conversation and series of events is because people will not believe them otherwise, it is horrible that they have to. It is not reason for everyone to treat any and all conflict like a public legal case or activist campaign

I do feel like normalizing The Callout Doc is one of the greatest mistakes internet culture has gotten on. It doesn't mater who is right or wrong or to what degree, the format itself is poison. Note: The Callout Doc is very different from people coming forth with sexual assault experiences

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday The unholy thing shambles in He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me And he makes an unbearable din Sing us a song, you’re the piano man Your skin is a wooden facade You’ve brass pedals for hands And your hair’s copper strands Give unbearable insult to god

You don't need validation from the people or institutions who caused your pain. If their validation was meaningful, they would not have caused that pain in the first place-- let alone gaslit you about what happened. Their validation is worthless currency. Monopoly money.

Folks need to be more critically minded when sharing bad news all the time. Not everything the media reports on needs an instant wildfire of attention and increased blood pressure. Can we please be checking: -Who is reporting? -When was the article(s) written? -What are the facts right now?

Your story is going to have lots of moments & choices you wish you could erase. So does mine. That doesn't man you're not "worthy" of compassion & support-- that means you're a human being w/ a human story. No shame. Just breathe; blink; focus; & do the next right thing.

she was so real for this

We're not getting out of this CPTSD thing without making time to care for ourselves-- to soothe, to process, to rest, to regroup, to plan. That's not "aspirational"-- that's reality. There isn't a realistic version of CPTSD recovery that doesn't involve investing quality time.

If a comic book page focuses on a long back and forth conversation, it's commonly referred to as a "talking heads" page, EVEN THOUGH, VERY RARELY, do any of the characters discuss finding themselves A) living in a shotgun shack, B) in another part of the world, C) behind the wheel of a large automo
