Golden: All-nighters, remote beaches, escapism, forest trails, wet hair, salty sea kisses, a warm presence, drunken tattoos, split second decisions, choosing love over ambitions.
Kaito: standing on tiptoes, secrecy, sneaking out, bruises, an aching feeling of emptiness, hand holding, loss of conviction, overworking, scabs and bandaids, crying yourself to sleep, blood covered sinks, an overwhelming longing for freedom.
Ivor : The smell of turpentine, painting for days on end, dissasociation from time, wondering if you really exist, stargazing on wet grass, panic driven midnight jogs, liminal spaces, highlighting interesting phrases in books
Z'al : the calm after the storm, long naps, intense stares, Cavernous rooms, a calming sense of pointlessness, violence and disregard, a cold uncaring demeanor, meaningful hugs, rough sex.
Guy: No regrets yet no ambitions, entire Days spent reading, hot soup, the feeling of getting home after a long day, doing strange and random things just to feel human, overanalyzing pointless things, familiar smells that cant be placed.
Joseph: Sunrises, rainy mornings, fading hair dye, quick glances at passers by, going to the supermarket on a cold day, late regret filled nights, longing for a better time that never was.
Roux: a crushing loneliness, achievement and ambition, penthouse suites, early morning café visits, making friends with a neighbour, trouble letting people in, sunbathing, a big bed all to yourself, dusty art studios, self hatred, meaningful connections.
Drake: running from your past, cold showers, long walks, inside jokes, a feeling that something is horribly wrong, burnt toast, all night skype calls, waking up next to a loved one. Unconditional kindness, old scars, snow days, chapped lips, black coffee.

Bianca: crunching leaves, feminist marches, running from the past, adventures with friends, studying, unfinished drawings, tough decisions, skinny dipping, clothes that don’t fit.
fat animals are cute and all these “absolute unit” memes are very funny,
but i hope y'all realise it really isn’t healthy for your pets to be
that overweight
please, please learn how much food your pet actually needs so you don’t
overfeed them and make sure they have the opportunities to get enough
exercise, and if they ARE overweight consult a professional on how to
help them lose it. because let me tell you, it’s stops being cute real
fast when they start suffering from health problems that could have been
prevented if they’d been provided with a healthy, active lifestyle.
So important 👏👏👏 Our pets are our responsibility and they rely on us to give them what they need, not monitoring their diets and letting them get to unhealthy weight extremes causes avoidable discomfort for the animal as well as medical issues. Please take proper care of your pets and make sure you know how much and what to feed them.
Dudes, just write. Stop asking me if you should start/continue/finish what you’re writing despite having x, y, or z problem. If you want to write I am in NO WAY authorized to tell you when to stop/start. That’s up to you and always will be.
If you think “no one will ever genuinely like this” you are 100% wrong. 100%. Think about all the trash out there that has fans. I wrote stuff when I was twelve that had more genuine fans among my family/classmates than ANYTHING I never shared with another living soul. It’s impossible to write something no one will like.
If you think “I’ll never finish it so why even bother?” you’re only depriving yourself, man. That’s like saying, “I like this cookie, but I can’t eat the whole bag. Guess I won’t even try one.” ????? Just write the story, to hell with endings. Some of the best works in the world went unfinished by the author/composer/architect, yet we admire the heck out of them. Maybe, instead of thinking you’ll never finish something, tell yourself this is the one you will finish (and repeat it until you do).
If you feel “this hurts to write, I’m too close to the subject material” either set it aside or full speed ahead. You MUST know how many classics, prize winners, and life changers came from someone’s very real pain and experience. Addicts, traumatized persons, victims, quite often they find solace and healing in writing about their experiences. Most importantly, so do their readers.
If you want to write, write. Otherwise only you are standing in the way of what you want.
i genuinely hope anyone ages 13-15 on this website (or, god forbid, younger) stays safe and keeps their private information secure and really private
please, if you’re really young on tumblr, try not to get swept up in the discourse and the tremendous amount of arguing with strangers that goes on here. i know you probably feel mature for your age but this website, like, really psychologically affects youth, and i encourage you to be cautious about your interactions with people on here
please, kiddos, stay safe
additionally, for my young, non-adult followers,
depression memes about wanting to die aren’t a healthy coping mechanism and can lead to worsening symptoms of your own mental health if overindulged in
you are not garbage. or trash. i know these terms are popular on here, but you shouldn’t be calling yourself that. you have everything you need inside of you to become your best self, even if it’s hard to see that
seriously, really don’t trust adults who want to date you. don’t trust adults who call you hot, flirt with you, ask you sexual questions, or ask you for nudes. (that last one is VERY illegal, also, please get help from a trusted non-creepy adult if this happens to you)
the opinions of complete strangers who aren’t interacting with you typically aren’t worth it. move on, use the block button. it’s not worth engaging with people who are going to make you feel awful or unsafe
take breaks from tumblr if it’s getting really stressful for you. talk to friends if you’ve got em, play a videogame or do whatever it is that can take your mind off the massive amounts of Hell on this website
recovery is good. it’s really, really good. if you’re having mental health issues, please seek out help if you can, or ask a trusted adult or friend for guidance. you are not alone. don’t let this website make you feel like you are
1) don’t say mean things about people, behind their backs or to their face. it’s not cool to be inconsiderate of others’ feelings. ignore people who want you to participate in talking badly about others, even if you are not fond of that person.
2) speak gently with a full heart.
3) be perceptive of others’ trauma, daily struggles, disabilities, and insecurities.
4) treat animals with tender respect.
5) don’t act out irrationaly towards the people you love. before you lash out, think about the consequences towards their feelings that would follow.
6) always remember that the positive energy you put out will come back to you.
Gen z culture is growing up with 90’s technology like vhs and dial up internet and then having a bunch of whiny adults sanctimoniously try to tell you that you can’t remember what it was like to use those things.
Listen I am so here for platonic “I love you"s. I don’t care if you think “I love you” is some sacred phrase to only utter to one person in your life, i don’t care if you think it makes me look overbearing. I say “I love you” to my friends every time I say goodbye because I want them to know 100% without a doubt that I care for them and love them and am there for them so so much.
Friendly reminder that Vincent van Gogh willingly checked himself into an asylum so that he could get better, resulting in him creating some of the most iconic paintings of his entire career, done in the asylum, when he was being treated 24/7, because he finally didn’t have to struggle with his demons and could instead focus on his muse, WHICH WERE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS!
Remember this little insignificant painting?
How about this one?
Check this one out:
All of these and more were painted in the asylum when he was receiving treatment for his mental illnesses and I know I just said that but I said it again and I’m saying it a third time until you dramatic abled assholes understand!
VINCENT VAN GOGH
- KNEW THAT HE WAS MENTALLY ILL
- WANTED TO CHANGE THAT
- WENT TO AN ASYLUM
- GOT THE HELP HE NEEDED
- PAINTED SOME ICONIC MASTERPIECES AS A RESULT!
SO DON’T YOU DARE COME OUT HERE WITH THIS, “I WISH I WAS DEPRESSED SO I COULD BE AS CREATIVE AS VAN GOGH” BULLSHIT BECAUSE EVEN HE KNEW THAT HIS DEMONS WERE HARMING HIS WORK, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, HIS HEALTH, AND HE DID EVERYTHING WITHIN HIS POWER TO FIGHT THEM EVERY SINGLE DAY OF HIS LIFE, UNTIL THEY ENDED UP WINNING!
This is also incredibly important for any creative persons dealing with mental illness, and their parents.
Receiving mental help improves your craft, not hurt it. Before getting put on medication for the first time to treat my mental illnesses, my mom expressed to me how she’s worried about my getting treatment because of my art. Regardless, your mental health should be more important anyway, but, honestly, it’s a lot harder to produce good art when you struggle getting out of bed, let alone creating masterpieces. When you’re in more health, improving your craft comes much easier!
Personally I think the most beautifull painting of him was this one:
He made it when he heard about the birth of his nephew who was named after him. Still in the asylum but really happy for his brother!
“How glad I was when the news came… I should have greatly preferred
him to call the boy after Father, of whom I have been thinking so much
these days, instead of after me; but seeing it has now been done, I
started right away to make a picture for him, to hang in their bedroom,
big branches of white almond blossom against a blue sky.”
Oh I have sucb rants about how “good” art comes while suffering.
No.
look at me.
The idea of the “suffering artist” comes from bunch of alcholic, drug abusing, womanizers trying to justify their bad life choices as some sort of artistic angst.
IT IS 100% BULLSHIT
Take your meds, get your therapy, be happy, and live life
Though you produce no poems of your own,
You find fault with mine, o Laelius.
Either forebear to criticize mine,
Or offer up your own blasted poems! Cum tua non edas, carpis mea carmina,
Laeli.
Carpere uel noli nostra uel ede
tua.
Reblog this post with an out of context quote from your OC
“People point at things, and I stab the things for money. Someone here pointed at something, so I’m gonna go stab it now.”
“Don’t be silly, other dimensions are completely different.”
“You, me, the electoral college. I’m into this, let’s do business together, bitch!”
“It’s part of the interview,” I say with a roll of my eyes. “He manifested all my fears into physical creatures, and now I have to defeat them to prove my worth or something like that.”
“Hug me”.
“If
you’re suggesting I got drunk and almost drowned, I can assure you I didn’t.”
“Your highness, I’m appalled that you are accusing me of letting you win”
“Don’t touch my ears, I’ll kill you.”
“You might not wanna touch that, my grubby tentacles were all over it the other night and I’m not gonna be held responsible for what I did in squid form.”
“Though I do not wield a weapon I believe I would do well with swords, for I am a lady weak to a certain paladin’s spear.”
“So help me god if those noodles are overcooked im gonna cheat on you”
“human lives are worthless. come be not worthless with me. come feed the ducks”
“Nice outfit, pretty boy.”
“i don’t give a fuck if this is bad for me, i want an enema of it.”
“Don’t get me wrong, his family is wonderful, but it does get a bit weird when you’re the only human in a quiet room surrounded by blind cyborgs all slurping ther liquified burgers …”
People that’re racist against white people and proud:
People that’re misandric and proud:
Yeah, you’re not a “special little snowflake” for being these things. You aren’t changing the world from “fighting fire with fire,” you’re only being as ignorant and idiotic as transphobics, homophobics, misogynists, and racists, except even more gross and self-proclaimed.
It infuriates me how some people believe racism and sexism against who they believe are “individuals with privilege” (being white people and men in that case) are not real things. And although I did question myself when I was younger if a community that self-proclaims itself opressed has the “right” to avenge itself by being racist, I now fully realize how hypocritical and selfish these people are. Recreating the definition of racism and sexism to fit your own benefit is manipulative, and just because you think you’re a minority doesn’t mean you have suddenly more “privilege” than others.
If you’re going to be for equality, then stop trying to look down on and oppress people you’ve been taught not to like just because of their skin color or sex. That is racism and sexism, and you’re just all the more ignorant and in denial of your own fault for thinking otherwise. Please, break away from your toxic education of thinking that only what you consider to be minorities’ points of view are worth listening to.
Listen, if you poke around the Junkertown map outside Junkertown proper there are a ton of old mattresses scattered about inside the various abandoned buildings, and the one bed frame in Junkrat and Roadhog’s living area(s) is cobbled together from bits of old pipe and wood. If Blizzard had wanted Rat and Hog’s sleeping arrangements to be clearly heterosexual they could have easily just made Rat a separate scrap-metal bed and put either one pillow or two stacked on top of each other on Hog’s bed.
But there’s only one other place to sleep in the areas they’ve apparently been inhabiting, and it’s a couch. When we talk about somebody “sleeping on the couch” these days it’s a joke about them having pissed off their significant other and gotten temporarily kicked out of their usual sleeping spot.
So like either we’re dealing with yet more cynically calculated gay-bait here or Blizz is actually dropping hints at some more canon LGBT characters, which they promised there would be more than one of.
And if you’re ~shipping it~ but don’t think canon representation ~matters~ you need to go think long and hard about why you need to act like such a useless goddamn fujoshi you slimey fuck.
Just to add, that couch is one hell of a mess. The goddamn thing only has one cushion and is covered in gold bars and other crap … he’d have to be one heavy sleeper to get a good nights rest on that thing.
Most people I know had that one movie as a kid; that one movie that they would watch over and over and over to the resigned acceptance of their parents. I’ve always thought that movie says something about a person. What was your movie?
me @ 13: If I don’t draw this hand Perfectly right with good anatomy and proportions I will never be good at art and my art will be put on bad art blogs
