Absolutely obsessed with a thing nobody but me, my friend from pre-school and a handful of my friends knows about

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.
one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.
i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.
the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.
my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.
i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

As someone who is genderfae (microlabel under genderfluid), I have a lot of different experiences with gender.
I just wish someone told me sooner that it won't go like "today I'm a girl" "today I'm an enby" but more like ,,, "today I am a swamp witch" "today I am a feminine victorian vampire boy" "today I am a forest goblin collecting people's stares about my gender expression like shiny rocks on the ground" "today I'm an androgynous pirate lady"
Like,,, sure, are those real genders? I don't fucking now. If a cisgender person asked me what I identify as that day, would I answer like that? No, definitely not.
But to my genderqueer, trans and genderfluid friends; do you get me? I can't be alone with this, right?

August 15, 2023 - Supernatural trends for no reason.
Things on Tumblr have started to slow down, so naturally Supernatural decided to brighten our day. Don't worry, it's just a drill before it trends again due to some insane spn-related event.
Most likely the trend is a byproduct of the news of Trump's indictment (which is a separate trend and which, funnily enough, trends below Supernatural [x] [x] [x]), and the general longing of Tumblr users to see it when they log in. It's unclear whether Goncharov has had anything to do with it at this time.

don't worry Pep, i'm sure you'll figure out those memories in due time. maybe for now you should take it easy. we just want to make sure you're doing okay first.
Pep: "Struh daeh ym nehw yllaicepse, sgniht fo tol a dnatsrednu t'nod I tub... Dnatsrednu I fi erus ton... M'I..."
Pep: "Sdneirf htiw retteb rebmemer pleh nac... Oot ti ees nac sdneirf taht ecin elttil a si ti tub..."
Peppino: "Here Pep."
Peppino: "Might as well-a join you for floor time for a bit."
Peppino: "Bruno...? I don't-a personally know a Bruno, but now that I think about it; the building I came out of after the fight with Pep was-a called 'Bruno Pizza'."
Peppino: "I didn't think of it much at the time - since I had just ran for my life, being chased by a giant, warped version of myself - but it was kinda odd... Why did he put a random restaurant in the tower...?"
Pep: "..."
Pep: "..."
Peppino: "What the- Pep...?"
Pep: "...!"
Peppino: "Pep!"
Pep: "!!!"
Peppino: "Woah, woah, easy there Pep! You got pretty-a lost in your thoughts again!"
Pep: "Xob ni edih! Xob ni edih ot evah! Hcum oot s'ti! Wonk t'nod I Kniht I- Ot deil-! Dekcirt saw-! Eh- I- Si ti ohw wonk t'nod I-I-! Niaga em was I-? Niaga mih was I- I-"
Peppino: "S-slow down, Pep, I can't-a understand what you're saying! Let's-a take some breaths, so I can help you."

"Non paeniteo potitus."
+ details & process
And, process !!
The jump btwn the second to last and last always surprise me whenever I make one of these because I always forget to take snapshots after I start painting. It's always like: oh yeah heres the lineart with some colors- BOOM fully finished✨️
What he's holding are the Austrian imperial scepter and orb, seen below:
I was going to draw the crown too but decided I don't hate myself that much(maybe some other day), and gave him a golden laurel crown, bcs I'm obsessed with that as a motif, and also its very remincient of the boy king statue that started this whole thing!
There's some symbolism of this, both intentionally but also just historically. I love that the orb represents that the monarch is holding the world in their hand, basically every old monarchy has one of those, and I think it's very cool for symbolism. But also bcs of that, I was forced to basically draw catholic fanart so, you win some you lose some. The star halo above him head is both to reference those religious statues with star crowns(I saw them a lot in Europe and they imprinted onto my brain), as well as: his four championships of course!

I really wish people who asked for instructions how to do a thing didn't also feel the need to explain why they need the instructions because I'm super happy to tell anyone how to filter stuff out of their ao3 search results, but so often I end up uncomfortable or insulted or taken aback when I could have been saved that reaction if the person had just stopped talking after asking their question.
Good: Can you help me filter out stories that are shorter than 3000 words?
Not-so-good: Can you help me filter out stories that are shorter than 3000 words because I hate short fics and half the time the people who write them are really bad and I just get really annoyed when I have to scroll past them all the time
I love short fics and I encourage people to write them and I love writing them myself. You really didn't need to insult me (unknowingly) to my face while asking me for a favour, y'know?
Anyway, if you want to filter out fics that are shorter than 3000 words, use the Search Within Results box at the bottom of the filters menu and type in words>3000

If you're a fic writer and you put a link to a rebloggable tumblr post in the ao3 notes of your fic, I love you I love you I love you. YES I WANT TO REBLOG YOUR FIC and yes if I feel that strongly about it I will track down your tumblr and dig through your archives just to reblog your own fic post from you so that you can see the positive tags and comments OR as a last resort I may make my own rec post but if I don't have to do any of those because there's a handy little link on your ao3 then I love you I love you I love you to the moon and back
