I picked Grace from the bunch and named her. From day 1 she only felt comfy around me and only wanted to be near me and no one else in the family.

We developed this amazingly good bond. She can sense when Im sad/panicked/triggered and comes cuddle with me when I do. Whenever I relapsed into selfharm, she would lay on my bandaged up arm to make me feel better and to protect the wounds. She would purr and fall asleep on my arm.

She sleeps in my room and in my bed/lap/neck. She makes me feel good and safe and I love her to bits.

Now I dont live in the best household, so for my mental health i have to move out asap. This could still take a while though. Unfortunately my dad forbid me to Grace with me when I move.

Eventhough she is so important to me, he is convinced she is his becauae he paid for her. (Even though she is fucking terrified of my dad, she wont go near him)

So i proposed a challenge, if this post got 10000 notes, I could take Gracey with me when i move out. That would mean that I have my biggedt support with me in my new safe environment.

BONUS 1979-1990 Anime Primer Blue Blazes (2014)

I know what you’re thinking. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust was already pushing it… but not only was Blue Blazes made in 2014, it’s not even anime! Well, but see, it’s about anime. And manga. And the history of the art form, and prominent members of the industry, and… anyway, trust me, it belongs here.

An 11-episode television drama based on the semi-autobiographical manga of the same name by Kazuhiko Shimamoto (Anime Tenchou, Blazing Transfer Student), Blue Blazes chronicles the struggles of thinly-veiled author insert Honoo. A student at the Osaka University of Arts, the fiery but hopelessly indecisive Honoo is having trouble deciding on a path in life. Should he pursue manga and risk having his spirit crushed by ruthless editors? Go into animation only to be routinely humiliated by eccentric genius Hideaki Anno? Or give it all up to go girl-chasing? Whatever he chooses, Honoo will have to learn how to focus his passion in order to succeed.

Equal parts educational and entertaining, Blue Blazes is one of the best manga to live-action adaptions ever made. The dynamic camerawork captures the trademark energy of Shimamoto’s panels while the actors are given free reign to chew the scenery in classic hotblooded manga style (Yuya Yagira as Honoo knocks it out of the park with his absurd facial expressions). Loaded with references, cameos and informative asides, Blue Blazes paints a clear if fantastical picture of what it was like to be a young fan and creative in Japan during the momentous year of 1980. In addition to Honoo’s personal journey, a parallel plot line which follows the formation of Gainax (leading up to the premiere of Daicon III) is bound to be of interest to modern fans of the studio.
