You don’t help a plant grow by berating it for not being big enough yet or comparing it to other plants that have grown faster - you help it grow by giving it the water and soil and fertiliser and space and sunlight it needs to give it the best chance of flourishing. And if it needs it, you give it something to lean against to help it grow tall if it’s struggling to stand up by itself.
That’s how you should treat yourself - give yourself the tools and care you need to flourish, and don’t be afraid to lean on other things for support if you need to. It’s easier to flourish that way 🌸
People who rely on or use image descriptions for art here, I'd really appreciated if you could reply to this poll! I had to put the examples below because they got too long.
If you are not someone who needs, writes or uses image descriptions regularly please do not vote.
Example 1: A drawing of a penguin wearing a hat.
Example 2: A drawing of an emperor penguin wearing a felt hat.
Example 3: A drawing of an emperor penguin facing the viewer wearing a red and green stripped felt hat.
Example 4: A digital drawing of an emperor penguin facing the viewer wearing a red and green stripped felt hat. It has a friendly expression. The background is plain white and the style is non-realistic made of flats with soft textures.
If you can please reblog and share so we can get more input and improve accessibility!
I actually said to my bestie last night, "if Capcom was smart they'd port Ghost Trick to the Switch", AND THEN TODAY HAPPENED WOOOOOO WELCOME BACK GHOST TRICK!!!
Every time I'm around mosquitoes I start thinking about how people made the entirely correct connection between places with a lot of temperate stagnant water and the spread of malaria, but didn't quite connect all the dots - this place has stagnant water, this place has people getting sick with this same illness. Clearly it's the stinky water causing this, maybe it smells bad and the bad air is causing this. It's unhealthy to breathe the outdoor air at night, people who are out at night or don't shutter their windows tightly when the sun goes down are more likely to get sick because the bad air gets in.
The missing middle part was mosquitoes. Mosquitoes breed in standing water, and mosquitoes spread malaria.
I think this kind of thing would make a fun worldbuilding exercise. Have something in your world that does function the way people think it does, but they're completely wrong about why that happens. Or they've gotten the right connection, but backwards.
Holy rites that ward off evil but the Pure Substance is actually just antibacterial. Birds whose call is an omen of an approaching dragon, but these birds actually just have some symbiotic relationship with them. Half-elves that seem predestined to turn to dabbling with dark and lethal magic, but actually they just have a stronger tolerance of The Thing That Kills You due to hybrid vigour. Everyone knows that tigers never attack holy women because of a pact between their gods, but actually it's because a tiger is an ambush predator and the priestesses' headwear vaguely resembles a human face from the back, and the tigers can't quite tell whether she's facing away or towards them.
