It's So Painful To Imagine Living My Whole Life And Never Having A Word To Describe Who I Am, Never Knowing

It's so painful to imagine living my whole life and never having a word to describe who I am, never knowing if I was the weird one, or wrong for being the way I am.

And even if it's so late in life, I'm so happy that this connection can be made now. That we have the ability to help people better understand themselves, regardless of age.

Even if it's something that's often scary to bring up to those who are older (not as likely to be open-minded), it's so, so important to do it FOR them. Sometimes, among those who are straight and cis-gender are people who just haven't found the Word yet. Who don't know how to say what they feel, or are scared to.

And maybe we were a bit close minded, for not being more open with them about it. Reaching out to help the older generation discover themselves, too.

I want old aros so badly. I want a history. I want a future. I want tales of lives that I understand. I want to see myself in a future where I’m happy and comfortable.

But I don’t have that, so I’ll have to build it.

A friend and I made spidersonas!!! So- this is Sunspider, she prefers night patrols and quiet/sneaky missions! My girl keepin' it lowkey B')

Y'know what? I'm tired of it.

I'm tired of saying it, because I don't fully believe it. I'm tired of hearing it every time something I loved making goes over looked.

I'm tired of people saying it's not okay to make art for validation, or to want validation for your art, "because you make it for you".

Why do you think song writers and singers sing? Not just because they like it. But because people like it. Because they get something out of it, be it money or fame.

Why do you think studios make films? For shits and giggles? Because they think it's fun to draw? Just because they want to see that movie be made?

They make it for you. They make it for views.

Art is no different.

Fuck, even those examples are types of art- Of course people want to be validated for the things they like! Of course they want to find people who also take joy in the things they make!

IT'S NORMAL, IT HAPPENS, AND ART IS ALMOST ALWAYS MADE WITH THE VIEWER IN MIND! SO SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP SHAMING PEOPLE FOR WANTING TO BE ACCEPTED FOR WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO AND WHAT MAKES THEM HAPPY!

It's not about pandering to your audience, because that is tiring. That is what's unhealthy.

But stop telling people they can't be disappointed when something that they loved isn't as equally loved when they work up the nerve to share it.

Is this one taken?

Actually Raya, my friend, all of them fit Saitama so well but I can also see many of the other OPM characters wearing those TERRIBLE t-shirts XD Here is an idea: we should come together as a fandom and make a mega post were we artist draw some of our favs in those t-shirts hahahahahaha Zombieman wearing the "Chocolate Fucking Jesus" and the CASIO one is not something I thought I needed in my life hahahah.
