After seven therapists, four psychiatrists, several antidepressants/other medications, multiple therapy methods, alternative medicines, changes in lifestyle, etc …. It’s become clear that I need special aid in order to have a better quality of life.
At the moment, my mom accompanies me everywhere. When she leaves home, I’m already stretched thin. And although her presence keeps me calm, she’s not very skilled at preventing attacks from happening, or de-escalating them if they do. The constant accompanying is a strain for her, as well.
My hope is that a service dog will provide me with a reliable grounding presence. It can be trained to provide tactiles like body pressure, mouthing, licks. It can smell my triggers, lead me to safe spaces, block a personal space bubble, find help if I need it, and bring me the daily calmness that everyone else enjoys. American law would allow me to bring my service dog to all public spaces, businesses, and during emergencies.
With a service dog, perhaps I can again walk five blocks to the cafe, and use public transport, attend parties and events, manage a full-time job, fly overseas to visit my family, and so much more. I want to get my life going again.
I’m asking for $5,500. A bred puppy (service dogs are trained from a young age, and good breeding is highly recommended) costs around $2,000, the estimated annual cost for a dog is $2,000, and the Owner Trainer Academy is $1,575.
With your help, I could fulfill my dreams within just a couple years! Any and all aid is greatly appreciated!
boys in skirts. you agree. reblog.
Hey guys. It's been a while since I made my first post here, so I thought I'd give you guys an update on what's going on.
To start things off, I was a bit busy with college, plus I was also on Twitter more, hence the reason I didn't post too much in September, nor did I post anything in October. And while I did have thoughts of posting on Tumblr here and there, I never really got the chance due to college and using Twitter more than Tumblr. But since I feel like I want to have a place to escape when I feel overwhelmed by college, I feel like I should use Tumblr. And while yes, I do have the option to use Twitter, I feel like using Tumblr to escape better than Twitter. Not that I dislike Twitter or anything like that (despite some grips I have with the platform), I just feel like using Tumblr as that Escapism (as a nod to Rebecca Sugar's song "Escapism", not to be confused with the Steven Universe Season 5 episode of the same name) to escape to whenever I feel stressed or overwhelmed by reality. That, or I just wanna go on here for fun, since I love to go on social media. Whether it be for fun or to escape reality.
Aside from wanting to use Tumblr more often, I also want to showcase my work here. I want to share my artwork (including my OCs, fandom and non-fandom related) and my stories with everyone on Tumblr (and yes, I am aware of how vicious people on Tumblr can be, especially with the unnecessary harassment and death threats targeted towards people having fun with their work, especially artists and writers in particular; but tbh, I...honestly don't give a shit about that. And by that, I mean that I don't care how much harassment and death threats I get sent my way. Because I know that they're being sent by a bunch of sad assholes who love to tear people down because deep down, they're secretly miserable jerkasses who have nothing better to do with their lives other than make people feel bad (either about themselves, their work, or both) in order to make them feel better about themselves).
Works I wanna share include:
My OCs (both fandom and non-fandom related, as mentioned before)
OC What If (a series where I talk about what I think it would be like if my fandom OCs were canon characters in the media & franchises I like: shows, movies, video games, etc.)
OC Opinion (a series where I give my opinion on other people's OCs, while also giving them kind and constructive criticism; if needed, that is)
I know the stuff I mentioned were all OC-related, but tbh, I couldn't think of anything else (and even if I had that thing in my head I wanted to write for this post, I couldn't write it down for some reason). So that's why they're all OC-related. I know it might not be the best answer, but hey, whatcha gonna do bout' it?
With all that said, I hope to post here more often, or every now and then. If I don't, then I'll either like posts and/or reblog stuff. And if I don't either post something or like & reblog stuff, then that means I'm either, busy, lazy, doing something else (like drawing and/or writing) or using Twitter.
Anyways, thank you for reading this and checking in. I really appreciate it. I can't wait to show you guys what I have in store for my Tumblr. Hope you have a wonderful day/afternoon/night. :) ^^
ok i just wanna check something.... reblog if you've never watched/opened tumblr live

*finding Prince Olympius hot*
(Also genuine question, does anyone find Prince Vekar pretty)
@sketchy-panda

Ayo anyone here LOVES Klara’s theme? Has anyone talked about it? Is a banger yo!
( I don’t know why I’m using the words “ yo “ and “ ayo “ just don’t ask alright? )
Advian x Prince Olympius (The Genre Moods Lightspeed Rescue AU x Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue) (Note: This is a WIP for a love story in my Genre Moods AU. Things in this story for what I’m calling "Genere Moods vs Demons" story may or may not change once the official story is created, including the name of the story itself)
In a Nutshell: Enemies/Rivals to Lovers
Context: Advian and Olympius start out not liking each other when they first met (as they tended to provoke each other by making snarky comments and insults, especially with Advian calling Olympius a momma’s boy and vice versa with Olympius calling Ade a momma’s girl), but when Ade and her friends battled in a duel with the demons for the first time in a duel (like in the style of Episode 23 of Smile Precure/Glitter Force where they fight the villains separately (with Mason & Max fighting against Diabolico, Andrew fighting against Loki, Ruby fighting against Vypra, Cheerilee & Asher fighting against Jinxer, and Advian fighting against Olympius), except there's no big boss at the end), their relationship began to turn around for the both of them. During the fight, Ade and Olympius did their usual provoking with snarky comments and insults (especially their momma’s boy and momma’s girl insults), however, Olympius also had something else in mind: seduction. Aside from snarky comments and insults, he would also try shooting little flirts and compliments at Advian as he plans on trying to seduce her as a way to get her to let her guard down so that he could defeat her. But Ade obviously doesn't fall for this, as she is very much aware of Olympius' true intentions with the flirting and compliments. But she didn’t really expect the seduction part of it. Eventually, he gets ahold of Ade and holds her against him with his spear and teases her a bit through physical contact like putting his hands on her cheeks, moving his finger around her stomach, scratching her ears, and stroking her tail as if he is brushing it. This doesn’t faze Ade at first, as she is trying but unsuccessfully release herself from Olympius' grasp, but eventually, she gives into the seduction, which causes her to let her guard down and get all hot and bothered by it. As Olympius is close to finishing on seducing Advian so that he could land a powerful blow on her, in her mind, Ade (despite liking kinky stuff and kind of enjoying this) tries to snap herself out of it. She does struggle with this at first, but she does manage to snap out of it, but pretends to still be seduced so that she could land a surprise attack against Olympius. She asks Olympius to hold her and never let go, and he accepts her request, as he turns her around, picks her up, and hugs her. As they hug, Ade faces Olympius and asks him if she could tell him something, to which he says yes. She then told him "Olympius…thank you~…she is aware that he is trying to manipulate her as a way to get her to lose, though there were some points in the battle where the compliments and flirting did get to her, but not too much to the point where she lost focus. Well, it did, but only a couple times. When Advian and her friends beat the demons, each of them congratulated them for the battle, and as Ade congratulated Olympius for the battle, she used her powers to heal him after she shot him a few times with her pepper box pistol. As she shook his hand and admitted that he isn't too bad and put up a good fight against her, she felt a strange feeling inside of her, as if something blossomed like a beautiful flower (in other words, she ended up falling for Olympius, as his flirting and compliments (though manipulative as a way to get her to let her guard down) got to her, as if she was struck by an arrow through the heart behind her back; author's note: the "manipulative compliments, flirting and seduction" parts are in no way trying meant to romanticize manipulation, nor are they trying to glorify or normalize it; just thought I'd get that out of the way to avoid any confusion or misunderstandings).
Imagine worming your way into your villain f/o's heart.
Conversely, imagine you villain f/o doing anything in their power to get you to fall for them.

23 year old Jaahnavi Kadula was hit and killed on January 23, 2023. She was hit and killed bye police officer Dave Auderer, who happened to be the VICE PRESIDENT OF HIS UNION according to NBC News. Body cam footage has been released of the man joking about her death and saying she had “limited value” because she was young and was laughing throughout the footage. Laughed when he said to “just write a check for $11,000.” It’s disgusting how we are just barely finding out about the death of an incredibly smart woman who was taken too soon, and was treated so horribly after being brutally killed. How are we supposed to feel safe with the dangers of the world going on when our own police officers are so disgusting? How are we supposed to live our lives when we aren’t safe from our own “protectors”? I pray the family of Jaahnavi Kadula finds peace and that both Jaahnavi and her family get the justice they deserve.
