the stars are the same as ever

are you “adaptable” or are you just willing to subject yourself to existing in low key background-level ambient misery

these are different things btw. actual adaptability means not dealing with being miserable long term. and being constantly mildly annoyed/frustrated with a situation but being “able to deal with it” counts as ambient misery. btw.

let this be your sign to make your life just a little more livable. get a dollar store trash can for your bedside so Cup City’s invasion plans fall through. block a tag or post that makes you grind your teeth every time you see it. get some grip pads so your bed stops sliding across the hardwood a little bit every time you get in it. tell that person you need a little more support. if you get annoyed at a situation more than a couple times, change it. don’t be content with being miserable.

and the more that you start doing this, the better you will get at detecting your own feelings and advocating for yourself! This is an important start to being more of a person in the world if you struggle with that

lmfao i am too old to be reading posts from people sincerely pissed off that their art keeps getting comparisons to one of the modern masters of illustration. oh poor baby. that must be so hard

its been long enough now i can say the artist who the person who spurred this post was freaking out over being compared to was yoshitaka amano. can you imagine lmfao

it’s insane to me that some women think taking their husbands surname is romantic like i’m not changing my name that’s my name it’s literally a crazy concept to me to legally change a name for a man like girl that’s witness protection stuff wdym you’re just changing your name???? one day just like that? all the paperwork and for what?? it’s sooooo stupid as well as regressive. sorry

Crazy thing about #healing #recovery Small Victories is when you'll have some shit going on that's like, saying this would involve admitting how you used to be doing. You know? Like hey guys good news I'm gonna change my bedsheets this year

That's the thing about Doing Really Bad you kinda keep it to yourself. And then you start doing a little better & when you try to tell people this the vibe is like "what do you mean you were living in the sewer this whole time are you good?" while you're standing there like Yeah that's not the important part never mind that. I'm literally out of the sewer

Still cant get over that the first villains in legend of Korra were literally called the equalists💀 not to repeat the obvious but the way american red scare propaganda is still so prevalent in american society that all marvel movies and many kids tv shows will always have villains whose motive is to "make the world equal" is impressive if not depressing

Season 3 is much bolder. You actually have zaheer say that he wants to "tear down oppressive governments" citing the queen of ba sing se who literally kidnapped and conscripted ppl including children against their will and now you have korra on the opposite side of that bc "its crazy" and will cause chaos as if oppression should be a norm to accept in order to keep "balance" my god. And of course the means in which zaheer and his group r using to achieve freedom from oppressive governments will be ridiculous in order to discredit the idea that we should fight against oppressive governments. Imagine if aang was like we cant overthrow the firelord that would create imbalance. This is RIDICULOUS
