Accept that you will disappoint people.

radically self-forgive yourself so that guilt and shame don't become a part of your wiring

so that you can show up and be accountable

You have to recognize your capacity for harm. You cannot omit the harm you've done to others to remain "good." Anybody can be a bigot. Anyone can be an abuser. Anyone can harm anyone at any time even those who have been harmed themselves. The world is not made up of victims and villains only, this is life, not a Saturday morning cartoon and you are a human being who can or maybe even has hurt others and you HAVE to acknowledge that to learn to be better.

#thotty speaks #like I'm not perfect by any means #I've made mistakes but growing from those mistakes took me acknowledging that I've made them #Sometimes it is your fault! Guilt will come but you have to face it and use it to grow

the idea of ua teacher bakugou honestly makes me so sad, because you have to consider the possibility of him not making it to the end as a hero which !! is heart-breaking !!

but at the same time — there is something really cathartic i think about him growing up and growing out of measuring his worth by being number one, by being the best. and i like to think of him as a grumpy professor !! a bit like aizawa !! or him keeping a close eye on the shy, quiet students, watching out for them and always there to bully them (affectionate) along their path . or for him to be an all might to someone, a young kid that looked up to dynamight in his hay-day, now getting to follow directly under his lead.

#so sweet 🥺#i think he'd be a good teacher #he's learned so much already from his relationship with deku #going from a lil bully to realizing his mistakes #to knowing you have to work as a team with your other heroes and that you cant do it all on your own #that being number one isnt everything #that you'll never grow if you think you're too good to learn from anyone else #i think his relationship with aizawa and jeanist would really help him in that aspect #and whenever he does something cool with his quirk all his students get all crazy excited and it makes him all 😏😏😏😏😎#still makes him feel good lol #also bakugou in his unbuttoned white shirt with a loose tie and some glasses sitting in the teacher's lounge #coming up on him by surprise PHEW #HELLO SIR #okay bye #maybe will write something for him one day #blast from the past: hiatus q #edit to say: i wrote this in january and just found it in my drafts 🥺🥺🥺🥺#✿ willow writes #✿ thoughts: bakugou

barbarian!bakugo + buying apples. you’ll notice I didn’t put any work into this making it more … fantasy-like. And that’s bc… I still couldn’t figure out how😞

(warning: misogyny, you are described as a maiden / dress wearing, you have a pa, world building sucks, bakugo … doesn’t talk)

-

Being the only maiden on one of barbarian!Bakugo’s cross country journeys. I’m not sure yet how or why you’re there, but I’d say he’s traveling and one of his fellow clansmen took you as a prize, or maybe you just hitched a ride on their cart yourself.

But they stop in a small village one day, parking their horses at the edge of a town square of cobblestone and brick, merchant booths surrounding the small shops: of butchers and farmers and fishermen and traders, all rowdy and beaming as they show off their wares.

The men split up (the one with green hair in a leather vest declaring he needs a blacksmith, the lanky one with dark bangs in the direction of new snare wire), though the bulky blonde one (the one in thick furs and pelts who’s never really spoken to you) stays around, picking at the shiny, pink apples of a booth quite close to where the cart you sit on in boredom is parked.

“Five gold for a sack, sir” the man behind the creaky, wooden stand says. He’s stout, thin-haired and wrinkly, all his years in the sun selling fruit showing proudly on his tanned skin. He gestures to the wide array of fruits, each like a piece of candy he wants to show off.

Bakugo (you think his name his, or rather, that’s how he was introduced to you by the redhead with unnaturally sharp teeth, biggest of the group) glances up, frown thin and tense and blood red eyes narrowed. His shoulders shift, the muscles of his exposed stomach rippling as he breathes, the smooth skin of his forehead pinching as if he’s calculating a sale just as he would any other battle or raid.

The sign next to both the men clearly states that apples are two gold a sack. Pears are three, plums are one. “But I’ll give you a deal for four gold,” the man continues.

The blonde ponders, inspecting the apples diligently as if they could be poison, or a waste of a trade. His eyes narrow slightly, lips pursing, and you realize, in his reaching for coin, the intuition he so usually takes pride in (saving the men once from a brutal hound attack, and you, too, another time when a swamp dweller caught the hem of your trousers) is not there… and that they don’t use the same alphabet. Maybe he can’t even… read.

“For two gold,” you call.

Both parties look to you. One set of eyes in an suspicious glare, the other in a tart and angry bitterness. The merchant’s leathery face sinks into a melted frown, his fists clenching as your own hand shields your eyes from the bright sun and hides a protective squint.

“Didn’t your pa ever tell you not to meddle in grown men’s business?” he half-shouts back, the laugh in his voice now tangled with a snarl, downright and plain rude.

“The sign says two,” swinging off your seat, you smooth down your simple frock as you point to the wooden board stained with charcoal that’s hung up next to him. “One sack of apples for two gold.”

Bakugo’s eyebrows raise for the briefest of seconds, then fall in another glare as his hand drops from where he holds his coin (in small, canvas bag tied to his belt with thin, leather cord. It sags against his hip, his pants dipping and uncovering a v-line that descends further into a region you’ve only seen once; at a bathing river in the hills, the bare curve and marks of your own hips exposed—)

“Don’t know where you picked up letters, missy,” the merchant scoffs. “Reading is men’s work.”

You approach the barbarian’s side, his head (messy with hair) tilted towards you as he watches on in silence. From the pocket of your dress, you take out two gold of your own and flick them on the table before you.

“My pa taught me how.”

Then you take Bakugo’s hand (thick and rough and hard to hold) in one of yours and march right back to the horses and cart. Bag of sweet, pink apples in the other.

#bakugou x reader #Bakugo #I am so lazy #I just wanted to post this lmfao sorry if it’s sucks #will fix any mistakes soon!#I’ve just been caught up in this weird fantasy of like…. being captured by some barbarians and surprising them with your sophistication #and saving them from some weird sh*t #I think it would surprise Barbarry Bakugo if u like . could read and he couldn’t #but this is like. a bad representation of that LOL #idk why I’m having so much trouble with the fantasy set up #gusss well just have to deal #dunno .. I have no concept of anything #anyway this was kind of a shout out to my own dad #whos an alc*holic n*mbskull hillbilly b*astard dropout but wanted me to be educated and cultured more than anything growing up #so weird #i must be so tired to be telling u all this… or it’s the lexapro #either way ENJOY SORRY #I miss and love u all #caitie post #gen

#had an interesting conversation with my sister the other day. odd i guess bc my sister is pretty smart #on paper shes smarter than me. or at least less dyslexic than me #but she didnt seem to kno what cancer is. i mean like how it works. i mean. cancer is a mistake. a confluence of unfortunate accidents #leading to unrestrained cellular growth. when it metastasizes. when it moves to other parts of the body. those same cells continue growing #if u have smooth muscle cancer and it moves to your kidney. you body is trying to grow more smooth muscle on your kidney #at least as i understand it. and she asked why it wants to kill you. it doesnt want anything. it just is. its not a thing of malicious #intent. its neutral. it grows. it takes up resources. it takes up space. and it grows and grows until the organ it grows on stops #functioning properly. like a parasite she said. but no. not like a parasite. it grows like an empty space. a mass of flesh. a constant #obstructive pressure. it grows like only a tumor can. i dunno. it didnt seem to connect with her that this thing didnt want to kill our mom #but it did anyway. and she felt weird about how long she lived after they took her off any support. but thats how cancer kills #it stops an organ from functioning and most of those r important so it only takes one. so her heart kept beating for 12 more hrs bc it was #meant to beat for 40 more years. but not much it could do without working kidneys and without working blood #but that's life. that's death. that's nature. its all nutral even if it feels horrible to the individual.#i dunno. i thought it was interesting. shes 25 and her mother had cancer for 10 years so id think shed kno more #we're at a weird phase now bc its been a week since she died and everything feels normal. we'll see what happens at the wake this week #its been interesting for sure bc she was sick for 10 years but my parents didnt prepare at all for her to die #so my dad is scrambling to put together the pieces shr left behind to make sure that all the bills r paid and whatnot. he had to guess her #computer password. she didnt tell us what she wanted us to have. she didnt tell us the importance of her jewelry and who it belonged to #before her. i dunno. we're seeing the outline of my mothers Pathology in what she left behind. both in the physical objects and in the #feelings she imparted. i dunno. its been weird #unrelated

I stumbled into a post filled to the brim with twisted wonderland discourse on whether or not Vil is a good person because of the way he treats the Pomefiore students and I think y’all are forgetting this is a game about Disney villains from a reimagined point of view and trying to assert these characters from a manichaeistic point of view is your starting point to ruining your own experience with the game.

#they’re not supposed to be good or bad people in the game #they’re supposed to be flawed and selfish and commit mistakes #because every action you do in life is a result of your past experiences #most of these characters have unresolved trauma #and regardless of that you do see how the grow into better versions of themselves as time progresses within the game #and from a narrative standpoint having no Ill-intent from the beginning is a terrible narrative device #y’all are just unable to grasp the concept of duality and nuance #lmao #byeeeee #twisted wonderland #disney twst

You know, having been obsessed with Scott Pilgrim since the comics first dropped.

in my experience you love Scott Pilgrim like you hate your reflection.

Its not perfect. Its not always what you want to see. But its honest. Let it be imperfect and figure out why that can make it better.

Let it grow.

#scott pilgram takes off #scott pilgram vs the world #the media that shapes you leaves a mark yo. let it.#be kind to yourself and grow from your mistakes. admit youre a loser and one day you might not be #or you might have to fight a vegan with mind powers who knows #scott pilgrim takes off #scott pilgrim vs the world

im so glad ramona got to be her own protagonist in the anime and gain like. healthy closure with most if not all of her exes

#spoilers ahead but i was thinking strange nega scott didnt appear but like #its more poignant he fights his own literal self #no scott its not an evil twin made of your worst parts #you ARE your worst parts and your best parts too so take responsibility #if you dont wanna end up like this its up to you to defeat these personal flaws to grow from them etc #you dont get to write this off as not you. no that is literally you welcome to your christmas carol moment dumbass #fix yourself or live in misery #like i guess part of negascott was always coming to terms with these things and accepting them but if negascott represented #accepting your flaws and mistakes and overcoming them #old scott was the natural progression of then changing the behavior that caused them

the problem with adventure time is that i am so deadly serious about it and how good i think it is so it is difficult to have casual conversations about it without delving into my personal philosophies about the meaning of life and what we owe to each other and ourselves etc etc etc. cannot be normal

#sure its a funny silly show but its about life death the universe and everything in between #and it manages to grapple with extremely complex and emotional topics in ways that leave you feeling both meloncholy but also… ready?#to confront yourself and your place in the universe. u kno #at least. thats how i feel about it LOL #i’m not talking season one or even two but that doesn’t negate the vaue those seasons provide as set dressing and emotional tone. etc #to me adventure time is less about the characters (although it is certainly about them)#and more about painting a vast and nuanced portrain of a fantastical universe that gives life and humor to abstract ideas and feelings #it teaches you how to sit with them. and make peace and grow and change and love etc etc YOU KNOW !!#the love that went into creating it is so palpable with each and every episode #also that post going around about how having to shoehorn in a moral lesson is a major problem woth the artistic integrity of many kids shows #adventure time does not have that problem.#it proposes ideas ? but it takes characters entire seasons #years even #to learn from their mistakes. anyway #adventure time

Hehehe >:3 got a kissie and some headpats from a pretty girl >:3 muahahahahahaha >:3

#sorenhoots #sometimes i remember that i am living the life that i ached for during lonely years #like i just get to wake up and live my gay little life??? kinda fucking awesome even if many other parts of life are very stressful #im so glad i met my wife who loves me for who i am 🥰🥰🥰🥰 and 😈😈😈 heheh then i met my other partner???? like. i thought my wife made me #the happiest i would ever be and then WOOSH i met ANOTHER person who makes me incredibly happy? i did not know the happiness could DOUBLE.#i figured it was like 0%-100% and my wife made me like 100% of my capacity for happiness and then its like 200% now and im realizing that my #capacity to experience joy and peace isnt static and frankly probably increases steadily over a lifetime as i grow and change and learn to #appreciate things more. anyways im in a content happy lil gay mood this morning :3 #my partner got to visit us recently to help us get emotionally ready for some stressful stuff but now the most stressful parts are done and #now that the stress is fading i am finding so much happiness has been in my chest waiting to burst! it was sooo good to see my partner hehe #and the situation is even cuter because my wifes partner also came to visit and my wifes partner is my partners wife also so like. adorable #symmetry. my partner and my wifes partner have another partner and if you draw out a little diagram of us you will see it is shaped like a #house :3 a square with a triangle on top :3 hehe metamours everywhere :3 super super super wonderful metamours. its literally almost like a #fairy tale to have a polycule??? like?? im so excited to live somewhere that isnt like 9 hours from them. oh my god they also have a cat and #shes the cutest. me and my wife have a cute cat also and we are like 👀👀👀 tenatively anticipating that they will get along 👀👀👀 ive #specifically worked with my cat to help her know how to behave around other cats. my neighbor is retired and does TNR on the local strays #and they get attached to her and hang out in her backyard or her house lol like one snuck in and this was before they had any cats and they #didnt know he snuck in until he hopped onto her bf's chest at night to snuggle up. and hes a big cat and if you felt him drop onto your #chest in the pitch black of night you might absolutely mistake him for a racooon or possom or some other beast. anyways he sneaks into all #the houses down the street apparently and is just kinda like “the retired people down the street”'s cat lol. and daisy would hiss and yowl #out the window at him but i always tried to show her that he is friendly (and give her treats to attempt to tell her 'he isnt a threat. have #a snack. see? if he was a threat then we would not be having snacks.' and eventually he ran into us while i was letting her outside on her #harness and!!! i was absolutely ready to defend either of them from the t #other but they just cautiously sniffed each other and then laid down. it was fascinating to observe. daisy also responds really well yo #to meeting new people :3 though she proved me wrong by hiding from some maitenence ppl recently. but then she met my metamour and was pretty #much instantly like 'oh ok ur family? sounds gok #sounds good.' so thats cute and i hope if we end up in the same house with the other cat in the polci #polycule. well i hope they get along!!!#idk what we would do if they didnt. there are lots of other housing arrangements (like renting a duplex or next-door apartments or #something) but i want them to get along anyways :3 no matter what sort of living arragement works out best. i think theyd be good for each

I have a lot of mixed feelings about MatPat.

On the one hand, he definitely has a streak of bigotry. The pyro episode really comes to mind on that one, and his refusal to they/them Kris was also not cool, and there have been a lot of other examples here and there.

But he has been getting better. One of his Livestream hosts uses they/them from what I can tell, and I haven't heard any word that he's misgendered them anywhere.

But also, his theories have just been getting lower and lower quality as his channels kinda turned into something one step below a content farm. His Digital Circus theory, for example, he came up with ON GTLive and then just cleaned it up for the episode.

But he was also hosting all four channels. Each channel will have its own host now.

He made a lot of mistakes, but so does everyone.

Am I defending him? I dont know. Do I forgive him? No. Do I honestly care? ...I don't know.

I'm glad he's stepping away. But I'm also gonna miss him.

Like he said in the goodbye video, he was a lot of peoples childhoods. Mine was one of them. He's definitely not the best person nor was he the best influence, but he did help me realize that being a nerd and being passionate are good things. And his passion helped me want to create.

I'm glad he's leaving, but it also feels like my childhood is going with him. One last step towards that all-encompassing 21 in a few months from now.

I'll miss you, Mat. I hope you can continue to grow as a person and support others more in the future. Teach your son what the world failed to teach you when you were younger.

Also read the tags, please, okay Tumblr? Thanks.

#im scared to post this. i know people on here dont like him and i 100% understand why #but i also fear that people assume he can't grow #i may be wrong as ive been staying away from matpat drama but from what ive seen?#mat makes mistakes. then he listens to people when they tell him he fucked up. and he tries to do better.#people forget that hes a person sometimes.#and like i said i could be wrong. there might be evidence out there that hes an evangelical or something #but i havent seen it. i do know about the homophobia and transphobia from the past #but i also know hes apologized and that stuff hasnt really resurfaced #i want him to do better and continue to grow away from the internet #but if im wrong then im wrong.#just please dont harass me for this post okay?#if hes worse than i think he is you can tell me but please dont be mean about it #ive had enough people yelling at me.over this shit recently.#mat if youre SOMEHOW reading this? thanks. your stuff helped me watch to enrich my stories more #give people something to hunt for #you aided my passion #and i wouldnt be who i am today without you man.#so please. keep growing. keep doing better. and i guess i'll see ya when i see ya.#dimond speaks #not maintagging this cuz i dont wanna get killed lol

There’s this post I made from years ago — from when I was pretty new to the fandom — that still gets a note or two every once in a while, but I wholeheartedly disagree with now with every fiber of my being. I won’t delete it ever because it’s a part of my journey in this fandom but it’s a reminder that people change and that it’s okay to do so!

#i’ll be transparent and say that it’s a post that is pretty anti jedi order #i don’t think i even realized it at the time but in hindsight. oof.#you grow and learn from your mistakes #anyways i’m very strongly pro jedi and pro jedi order now so #pandora's ramblings

Apologizing to Djehuty

Yesterday I offended Djehuty. I won't go into detail about what I did, but it was callous and careless and he made his displeasure with me apparent immediately. So today I prepared an apology for him.

I made a little temporary altar for him on my moon phases box. I surrounded his statue with goodies - my tarot deck, his favorite candle, a glass of apple wine, and the best snack I had in the house at the time.

Seriously, a prepackaged taiyaki might not look like much, but these things are one of my all-time favorite uncommon snacks and they're kind of hard to come by where I live. So for me to have one on hand for this offering is a big deal. Plus, a fish-shaped food seemed too perfect for an ibis deity.

I said my apology to Djehuty, then asked him to use my tarot deck to choose a book from my bookshelf to read. Funny enough, the book he chose was directly related to my offensive act. It felt like his humorous, tongue-in-cheek way of saying "yeah, you messed up. But you said you're sorry so we're good here. No need to dwell on it."

I felt much better after that, and spent the next hour quietly reading at his altar while enjoying the wine together.

Dua Djehuty, forgiving and wise! May I learn from my mistakes and use what I have learned to walk along your path for the rest of my days.

#deity worship #djehuty #thoth #altar #kemetic #kemetic paganism #kemetic witch #paganism #nobody's perfect #it's all about learning and growing from your mistakes

this is your favorite game but you're gonna be defeated and you're never gonna beat it controls you like a slave but you've gotta stop pretending you won't get a happy ending someday you're gonna wake up gonna wake up from a life in fantasy someday you're gonna wake up gonna wake up and realize it's not meant to be you stumble in the dark 'cause you close your eyes guided by the sweet-talk lullaby but someday you will wake up you will wake up from a life in fantasy wake up.

#(little bit more dour than most of his other pre!IW tunes but)#(smthn smthn post!ragnarok vibes where he's a growing a little bit more jaded but still doing his gd best)#(when you feel like your entire life is a wasted lie bc of your dad's mistakes you kinda get a little testy)#(dw abt him he's fine)#( ooc . ) — stories that leap from the page .#( music . ) — the spirit of thunder is to be heard .#(honestly tho smash into pieces and some of the arcadia album songs is big post!ragnarok mood)#(it's the only semi-synthy music i'll take for him bc it just doesn't fit him)#(but if that's the POINT then dnsakjbdakjb)

some of y’all should. go outside. touch some grass maybe.

#one of the joys of being a human is being able to go be stupid in our youth #we say and do stupid shit as kids or teenagers because we don’t know any better #and what’s a better way of finding out that our words or actions were wrong than experiencing backlash for it firsthand??#how are we supposed to learn from our mistakes if we never make them??#that’s what our childhoods are for. being stupid #and then we grow up and we take all that stupidness we had as children and learn from it #but some extremely chronically online people don’t believe in making mistakes?? like ever??#not even as a child #which is baffling to me #because we’re all stupid as kids. all of us. especially the people who pretend they’re better than everyone else #so if someone made an honest mistake in their past #literally what right do you have to criticize them for it #if they’ve changed and grown as a person there’s no need to hold their past against them #and i’m talking about actual mistakes not shit like bullying people or saying slurs repeatedly bc you think it’s funny #i’m talking about shit like saying offensive jokes because you were taught the humour of them but not the harm #and saying ignorant shit because you literally didn’t know any better #anyways people who try to cancel people for harmless shit they did 10+ years ago go outside #delete your twitter account while you’re at it #you’re currently choosing to be judgemental and overly critical of people’s pasts in an attempt to ruin their lives #and i think that says more about you than it does about them
