Hiii, i love your stuff and kinda from a distance really look up at you for, in my perception, being able to express yourself without giving a fuck. Thats sick dude, Im so so afraid, of absolutely everything, its nice to think like i might grow into someone less apologetic of my existence. Nice to see people just being yknow

hey, thank you, this is really really nice. the secret that is probably not a secret is that i am also deeply afraid a lot of the time lmao -- but less than i used to be, and in ways that feel less stifling and self-suffocating, if that makes sense.

like, it used to be "i'm scared that if i express myself the way i want to, everyone will find me obnoxious, so let's just sand those edges down to be safe" -- now my fears are more like "now that i'm expressing myself in a way that feels natural and real, i'm afraid that it's all stupid/vapid/not worthwhile or meaningful" (<- specifically abt my art) or "i'm happy that i talk and act the way i want to now, but what if it makes me impossible to befriend," etc etc etc. which still feels bad and puts me in a funk a lot of the time but at least it's a fear that comes After/in reaction to doing stuff, rather than a fear that STOPS me from doing stuff, you know? like, it's evolved into a kind of fear that's less in my way.

anyway. i believe you'll experience something like this, because wanting to grow is the first step of growing. the fact that u hope or wish for something different means you're already on your way. to fewer fucks!! or at least distributing the fucks u give in a way that serves u better

The Vatores Present... A Decennial Vampire Bash: Part I

I'll be using Quiet Voices Memorial by the extremely talented @sweetbeagaming throughout this entire sequence (with some likely inferior modifications by me to make it more vampire-friendly).

Previous / Next

Lilith: Must we really sit for one of these every goddamn year?

Caleb: It's decennial, Lil, just like your silly little parties. And, yes, we must. It's important to preserve the passage of time.

Lilith: You say that, but don't tell me there aren't decades you'd rather never think about again, let alone find hanging on your wall for an eternity.

Waiter: [whispers] Ms. Vatore, your guests are beginning to arrive.

Lilith: Oh, thank god! I feel like I'm calcifying over here.

Caleb: But the portrait's not even close to finished!

Lilith: Forget the portrait, Caleb. If they're a professional, which they should be, considering the obscene amount of money you paid them, they can finish the job without us. Now, come. We have a grand entrance to make. And can you at least pretend to be happy to be here? I even let you invite some of your dreadfully dull vegetarian friends.

Caleb: Would you really call everyone else on the list your friends?

Lilith: Not in the strictest sense of the word, no, but I like to know I've got them all under my thumb regardless.

Rewatching DE:PP has reenflamed my belief in the conspiracy theory that the common trope in children's media of evil alternate versions of characters being goth/emo/punk/other alt styles is essentially a psychological smear campaign; an attempt to imprint upon their viewers the message that alt people are mean or morally bankrupt so that children learn to look upon these people with disdain and suspicion and perhaps even a hero vs villain complex, all to prevent the new generations from banding together and joining the rebellion against the consumerist dystopia that the people who lord over the creators of those media want to enforce.

... I blame Netflix. DE:PP is too progressive for this shit.

Friendly Reminder: I cannot follow back on xluciifer; so technically, we'll never be mutuals in the eyes of Tumblr. Lucifer is a SIDEBLOG and you will be followed back on xbalayage! Thank you for your time. ❤️

“Oh wow, what a cool artstyle! And the artist has a lot of cute headcannons and seems like such a nice person! I think I’ll reblog some of their stuff and give them a follow-“

(Explanation + rant in the tags)

I decided to give a go to @niennanir’s lovely print-your-own-fic recipe on my Inside and Out as a test run and I’m quite pleased with the results as a first pass :D

I wish I’d taken a few more process pictures but there was a slight lull as I had to go shopping for 12x12 cardstock lol, but! I do have a couple closeups/extras that I added for funsies :D

I went with freehanding the title and I think in the future I would opt to not do that lol, at least not without a printed template. That said, both LibreOffice and SAI refuse to recognize my SCII fonts >:0 If you notice on the first page, I used the Ace Attorney font in italic haha, it’s an okay alternative even if it’s not what I actually want |0 I am happy with the gold detailing tho :3c

I did have an unconscionable amount of fun freehanding the ship caption tho ahh <3 <3 Immediate happy stims upon completion, their names together look so pretty ♥ Credit to Zarla’s original minicomic on that one :3

I also managed to get the last sentence of the fic isolated on the last page thanks to the formatting haha ♪

I was also able to add a bookmark! Ma happened to have a couple very thin ribbons to choose from and red ended up complementing the green very prettily!

It reminds me of VUX tongues hehehehe ❤️💕💖💞

ough I'm going through my stuff to cut down rn and I HATE that I have such a weird size because I would love to pass some of this stuff down to somebody but I simply do not know anyone who wears my same sizes

gotta love when people go off on me for not respecting rules they *did not share with me to begin with*

I wish you could also redesign your blade twin's clothes and weapon set any time in the story. But hey, at least you can still switch your protag over your blade twin for fun.

Alright, I’m making this clear right here and right now that if I say something or someone is antisemitic and you can easily look up why or how yourself, I’m not going to do that work for you because 90% of the time it just turns out the person on the other end is looking for a Jew to pick a fight with and isn’t interested in learning at all. With how extremely antisemitic so many goyim have become, I could provide evidence of genocidal intentions towards Jews, and I would still have someone try to goysplain why that isn’t antisemitic. Quite frankly, it’s inconsiderate as fuck to expect me to expose myself to antisemitism and do the work for you when I know there’s only about a 10% chance you’ll give even the slightest fuck about my and other Jews lives or well-being, especially when you could easily look it up yourself without exposing me to antisemitism but didn’t bother to. There are people out there who personally want me dead because I’m Jewish; many of those people are in my own communities. Put yourself in my shoes for literally five seconds and think about how it feels for me to continuously have to expose myself to this sort of thing. It’s fucking traumatic. I’ve already made posts explaining antisemitism to the best of my abilities. If I didn’t cover everything, I can almost guarantee there are multiple other Jews out there who have. Take a few seconds to look it up yourself if you actually care, because I have every reason to believe that you don’t.

Hey remember how the last year sucked so hard I had to quit my first real job and then no job would accept me for months? Guess who just got accepted by two different jobs at once and got to pick the better of the two which is everything I wanted and more :33333

A mother who was the target of a woman’s anti-Mexican rant at a Disneyland bathroom recalls the startling confrontation as her toddler was with her.

The bathroom exchange happened on Dec. 5 when Eva Ramirez filmed the woman’s racist remarks after she reportedly heard the mother and son speaking Spanish in the bathroom.  

Ramirez was celebrating her 2-year-old son’s birthday at the park.

“As we were walking into the restrooms, the stalls were empty and so I went ahead and used the big stall with my child and also with my stroller,” Ramirez said.

She heard two people outside the stall making rude comments but she was preoccupied with her son and didn’t realize they were actually directed towards her. 

I’m having a conversation with my baby,” she recalled. “I’m letting him know what I’m doing. He’s learning to speak a lot more words.”

Ramirez was speaking Spanish to her son, part of her efforts to make him bilingual. When she exits the stall, a woman standing nearby suddenly starts yelling at her.

“The woman in the gray t-shirt started screaming at me and she started telling me to speak English in her country and that it was her country and ‘Please get out of her country,’” Ramirez recalled. “What I said to her was, ‘I was born here.’”

Ramirez said the racist tirade went on for about a minute. When her son started to cry, that’s when she knew the woman had gone too far. So she pulled out her phone and began recording her. 

In the video, Ramirez is heard saying, “I’m at Disneyland and this person just heard me speaking Spanish and she said, ‘Great, you’re a f—–g Mexican, right?’ Repeat what you just said.” 

Ramirez asks the woman, “You have a problem with people that speak Spanish in your country, right?” 

“Yeah, but it’s America,” the unidentified woman responds. “You don’t speak Spanish in America. It’s an English-speaking country.”  

Ramirez responds saying, “Your comment is racist and it has nothing to do with using the restroom.”

“I don’t care,” said the unidentified woman. “I hate Mexicans, it’s true. There it is.”

KTLA’s Shelby Nelson visited the home and attempted to speak with the unidentified woman but no one answered the door.

“You still have the people who think this is okay,” Ramirez said. “And they continue to do this despite being recorded. I don’t think anyone should tolerate it and most definitely not around your children because I feel that we can lead by example. If I had ignored her, my son would have felt like that’s okay and so what I’m doing now is teaching him that this is not tolerated wherever you are.”

Ramirez said she filed a complaint with Disneyland employees, asking them to not let the woman inside the park, but security refused the request “because it was only a verbal confrontation.”

“Why? What’s the point of living when the only girl I’ll ever love is gone?”

“No dude, i feel worse.”

“Dude, i don’t have time to start over with other girls. I’m nine years old, dude. If i don’t work things out with Wendy, I could be alone my whole life.”

“I can’t let Wendy go. This whole time, I’ve been having my friends do all the talking for me. It’s time i took control.”

“Tell her i love her.”

“I can’t believe it. She’s in love with someone else.”

“There’s nothing else i can do. She was my whole life.”

And antis really think Stan doesn’t care about Wendy. Weird.

note to self: checking the notes of a post that says "please don't add anything anti-theistic" to block everyone proving they either can't or won't follow that simple instruction, as well as any Christians who can't help proselytizing when reminded atheists exist, is not a good and encouraging way to start your day

i wanna remind everyone it’s just tumblr rp, greg.
