I feel very alone at home

I’m 16. I am lesbian and care very deeply for the rights and happiness of my LGBT friends. My dad is strongly against the LGBT and constantly makes jabs at my trans friends or will find any excuse to discuss the “perversion of sexuality”. He currently blames it on demons. Religion is hard because I know it could be true, but in his case it feels like he blames everything on it. I can’t talk about psychology without him getting upset because I don’t include a separate spiritual component in the biopsychosocial model.

Religion in general makes me feel horrible. We attend church every Sunday and I’m left feeling confused because my dad has made the faith seem like an enemy. I want to be Christian. He makes me feel like it’s hateful.

I very very strongly believe I am autistic or have ADHD or have SOMETHING but my parents will not get me diagnosed. I have asked about ten times. It’s always no.

Always.

My parents haven’t read SBI or DAT. I don’t think they would like the content.

Mum is chronically ill and my brother is low-functioning.

I hope to move out after I graduate but somehow I have to hold that long.

You don’t have to reach out and comfort me, this is just me organising my thoughts and it feels good for context :)

Most peak update ever: Mum saw this and agreed to diagnose!!!!

Guys guys guys guys in the new Chapter 4 Trailer the Mini Dogday’s tail wags when he eats and it’s so precious because he’s excited to eat and I want to hug him and gently squeeze him and feed him copious amounts of beans

Someone needs to make a gif of his tail wagging immediately right now

Immediately stop the experiments, get the law involved, and publicly expose the company

So in other words living out my dream as Ollie in my AU

THEO!!! 💜

Here!!

Bye bye, little guy. <3

I've been writing for years and I still struggle with this, especially since posting publicly. So to any writers out there who think their work isn't good enough, I've discovered your own perception on what you write is a lot harsher than how people will actually view it. You're doing fine. It's alright. :) Perfection is unobtainable so let's accept what we have!

It's going to be fine. <3

How to Stop Hating Everything You Write

1. Don't be afraid of making mistakes.

Quit judging yourself for every mistake you make along the way. Whether you're writing fiction, fanfiction, or nonfiction, just write. If you can't correct your errors as you go, that's okay. When I don't have the brainpower to multitask, I focus on the writing stage one step at a time. Just write!

2. Don't aim for perfection.

"It's not ready if it's not perfect." That's a lie. When you're in the process of writing, it's best to concentrate on getting your thoughts on paper.

3. Seek feedback and learn to receive it.

Join lively communities with active writers or forums that host events inviting writers to share their work for critique. Not every critique is constructive; learn to discern which feedback to take on board and which to ignore.

4. Read, read, read.

You can't give what you don't have. You learn a lot from reading similar pieces in your chosen genre. Reading is also a source of inspiration that fuels your writing process.

5. Cut yourself some slack.

Writing is no small feat. It takes talent to formulate a story with your mind and skill to visualize it for others to see. Do you love writing? Then keep doing it because it takes practice.

For Destroy-A-Toy, my upcoming fic!

For context, in Smaller Bodies, she and Ollie were fairly innocent.

Then Ollie started acting manipulative.

Monkey see, monkey do!

I’m considering giving Poppy a superiority complex. She’s one of the only perfect toys out there and therefore shares no sympathies with the imperfect toys. They are beneath her, and she doesn’t understand why they shouldn’t be killed.

“If they don’t work, what’s the point of keeping them?”

The question is, when she finds out what Playtime Co. is doing, does she agree or rebel?

Why must I be obsessed with the characters nobody cares about

Here’s the plan!!!

Get idiots ready for the Toy Tour, reasonably hyped

Slam-dunk them onto the train

Introduce the nightmare critters - they’re forced to share a train carriage

Make the critters go “:0” as they’re given rooms while Dogday shits himself because he can’t sleep beside BigNap

Introduction to Ollie and the realisation they’ve turned into a dictator

Grand dinner night and the official announcement of the start of training

Slow realisation that the Toy Tour is rigorously controlled

Mass panic, leading to threats of Destroy-A-Toy

The Tour is now a concentration camp where anyone who objects is killed or threatened

Optional additional ideas:

Someone’s poisoned at the dinner party

Ollie teaches the other toys about things like racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia etc and they’re all horrified because these toys have never seen those concepts before (at least, not that they’re aware of)

Dogday makes friends with Infox, who is @thattiredgamer’s OC; Kather, who is @i-am-in-the-mind-fuck’s OC, and SourTail, who is @bazyboo13’s OC

Possibly a snippet or mention of the cult. You’re not meant to know Destroy-A-Toy’s being ruled by the kitty queen, but for those already in the know it would be great foreshadowing!

Teach the toys the Footloose dance because it would be really funny as a training exercise

The above are the things I gotta do forrrrr this series!

May be shabby now but I’ve got the plans! Stories take time! Especially since this is more an original fic instead of a what-if :)

OMG WAIT. What if for the AU, Shelly wasn’t the only one left behind, but Glisten was too??

ESPECIALLY because they were both torn in two

Hold up hold up hold up

I’m making it official

Glisten and Shelly are stranded together in Gardenview until the rest of the toons come back for them

If you have other ideas please comment or reblog them!! <3

Update: @yukitiramisu suggested Forgotten Friendship which is fucking FIRE

One might be the series name while the other is the one-shot name

You gonna let him?

Not allowed on the train until you do.

(it’s from this fuckin thing, thanks discord)

Hey, same height and we’ve never seen his face. Ollie COULD be Lord Farquaad 🤷‍♀️

Context is I’m working on an Ollie redesign and I proposed it to a discord server with the Lord Farquaad image as in I was giving Ollie the makeover, and it morphed into this somehow
