100% Real I Do This Too

I’m back on this godforsaken website

guess I gotta start fresh

Repeat after me: I draw so good. Not everything needs to be a banger. I'm not a content machine I'm a person who makes art and art takes time. Inspiration comes in waves and when it recedes that's when I should let myself rest

Finally getting back to the meme reaction streams tomorrow and keeping up with the Powerwash Fridays!

The point of Ladybug being immune to Sublimation’s power isn’t that she is the best person she can be period; it’s that she is the best person she can be right now, with the cards she’s been dealt. And these cards are, admittedly, pretty terrible.

She’s still flawed as a girlfriend, as a superheroine, as a guardian, as a human being! She still makes mistakes and still needs to face consequences! That was the entire point of the Miraculous Cure fixing the damage she caused. Like any teenager, any person really, she still has room to learn and grow!

But, crucially, the people who love her (in this case, Chat Noir, but we also see it from Alya and Sublime) are willing to meet her where she is: their affection and support are not conditional on the progress she hasn’t yet gotten a chance to make. And Marinette loves them as they are in turn — I think we’ll all agree Chat Noir’s mental health definitely isn’t optimal, yet he was able to break free from the spell too, simply because she believed he could!

I think there’s a lesson to be learnt here. The power of love always so strong, and all that.

Local heartthrob (allegedly) finally realizes how many love rivals he has.

Time for your inspection

I do feel like this whole self improvement culture thing can go too far where people are never happy with who they are and where they are because they’re constantly trying to be better or do better and they’re always waiting for some sort of glow up or achievement or therapy realisation that will make them feel complete but that isn’t real and life is actually in the every day

A graceful dive

I love a character raised to be a weapon as much as the next guy. But what really gets me is a character raised to be a shield. Who can’t fathom being needed—or even being wanted— beyond keeping others safe. Who believe they are alive only to insure someone doesn’t die. no matter the cost. Characters who self-sacrifice not because they think they deserve it, but because no one else does deserve it, and it’s their job to protect.

Characters who’ve been told that’s why your important. Your worth something because this other person/ thing is important, and you are here solely to keep them safe.

Bonus points if it’s not a legitimate job they’ve been given. Maybe at one point it was, but now that they are free from it, they haven’t given up that mentality. No one is forcing or asking them to do this, but they need to. They need to in order to be deserving.

people might think creating OC lore involves a lot of thinking & planning, but in my personal experience, OC development is more like a divine vision from a god slamming you over the head with a mallet while ur doing the fuckin dishes or folding laundry
