My next summer Dipper and Mabel!!

They're so cool woah

This picture of a UPS worker delivering a package on 9/11 right after the second tower was hit is so fascinating to me. I totally would have used two buildings being blown up and the city infrastructure pausing as an excuse to not do my job. Just go back to the depot and call it a day. But no he’s bravely delivering that Backstreet Boys poster or whatever while everyone else stares at the buildings behind him in shock. Went “Well, that sucks. Can’t do anything about it I guess.”

Aroace positivity to outnumber the bots in our tags:

1. First of all, you are valid. Aroace, aroallo, and amatoace people are all inherently LGBTQ+ enough. It’s stupid to say otherwise. The queer community is (generally, and I’m v sorry if I miss anyone here,) for anyone who experiences attraction or gender differently from the current default social norm of cishet. Experiencing it not at all is plenty different enough.

2. This stuff is SO CONFUSING. It’s OKAY if you don’t understand your own feelings. Feelings are WEIRD. I’ve felt what I can only describe as strong queerplatonic attraction 3 times in my life, and in hindsight I can even identify my “type,” but I’m 20 so 3 isn’t very many and also I was equally happy dating them and not dating them.

2.5. (Story) I recently told my dad that my roomie and I are planning to still live together after college, and his response was “so you guys are officially a couple now?” ?????bro WHY would I do that? WHAT part of “living together” necessitates DATING?? That sounds STRESSFUL! Which brings me to,

3. AmatoAllos are going to struggle to understand. This is normal, fine, and not your fault. They can’t conceive of someone not experiencing sensations that are such a notable part of their lives. Be patient and don’t try to force them to get something they just don’t get, but also, that struggle is NOT an excuse to treat you poorly, NOT an excuse to try to push you into dating or copulating when you don’t want to, and NOT an excuse to not listen to you or to invalidate your experiences.

In summary: You’re not wrong, you’re not broken, you’re just different. Different is a neutral trait. If I could choose to stop being aroace right now? I genuinely don’t know what I’d do. Sure, sounds easier to fit into society, and I’d like to stop stressing about what my life will look like without that expected piece, but if I’m all distracted by crushes and wet dreams, how am I ever going to take over the world?! Also the ace and aro communities are some of the kindest and most accepting and more comforting I’ve ever seen, so I wouldn’t wanna give that up. I love myself exactly the way I am.

Love yourself the way you are. I know it can be hard sometimes, but we have to try. Eventually, you get used to loving yourself and it becomes second nature, or a habit at the very least.

I rambled a lot here and it ended up long and wacky, but I’m not sorry because ADHD is part of who I am and I love who I am so. Deal with it. But yea the point is no bots can get in the way of our powerful community and we’re going to eat cake and garlic bread and take over the world.

Sometimes queer discourse on this website reveals someone's issues to be legitimate, but concerningly non-universal.

Since we’ve all been getting our gravity falls obsessions back (and since my last drifting stars au art is one of my posts that keeps slowly getting new notes??) I thought I’d try again and make some Mabel Design Choices™. I really liked the black sweater idea, but now I gave her shooting star hair clips! So here’s a colored version and some sketches. I haven’t perfectly nailed it (and I forgot to make Ford’s jacket exist behind him) but it’s pretty solid.

I think without even realizing it, Ford would grow endeared and attached to her pretty quickly. I also think, besides the trauma of it all, Mabel would do pretty dang well wandering the multiverse.

Notes thingy mostly because I have bunch of stuff I need to do and don't want to so basically I just need motivation

but because I don't acctually want to do it I'm gonna be mean and you only get 3 notes each

50 notes: I'll make sure hydrate properly for a week

100 notes: I'll ask my dad for communication cards (I go non verbal sometimes)

300 notes: I'll try catch up on my science work before I go back to school

500 notes: I try talk to one of my really close friends that is basically like my sibling about my pronouns and how it makes me uncomfortable when they misgender me (I'm pretty sure it's not ln purpose but that's scary)

1000 notes: I'm gonna attempt to fix my sleep schedule

1500 notes: I'll tidy my room properly (pls no it's so bad)

orange= goal reached

green= completed
