Ah, I'm just now noticing your "Establishing an online support network" post. Consider me absolutely delighted. Perhaps I'm a little vain too, but I love acknowledgements of each other's, anyone's, pages-- our words and our works-- that we exist to each other. So, more than anything, thanks for the sort of "positive feedback." It's been lovely interacting with you as of late!

i remember seeing a comic someone drew for tumblr a while back (a fricken DECADE ago) that said "the most important filter is the photographer" and it was a table with one clean space amidst a wreck of a room. that hit. online authenticity has /never/ been authentic :(

Take it from me— You can be as suicidal as you want when writing. Nothing’s going to happen to you, except that you’ll feel better for it.

"but I don't want to distress others and I have this weird complex that, at least spiritually, somebody is calling the cops on me." OHHHH SAME. i don't feel safe being 100% authentic with some things. i just allude to them. however i generally think i'm an honest person on my site, i go into pretty deep parts of my minmdset i guess. just not the full way. because im worried its illegal or smth (PROBABLY IS)

i love this idea! thank you for including me <3 also you'll be okay. we'll all be okay. sometimes it feels like we're all doomed, but by recognising it in ourselves, we can see it in others and reach out.

@badgraph1csghost: I find your reply very valuable, thank you! <3 I've also screencapped it and added it to the page, if you don't mind. I think the reply makes it feel more optimistic and fosters more understanding/rounds out the perspective

Looking at your art again and it's so so delightful <3 It feels so expressive to me. If I weren't so shy about my own drawing practice, I'd go draw right now, feeling inspired when I look at your work. As always, hope you're well! =)

I like Town Square, I feel like a lady is going to tell me that there's bandits in a cave to the north, but no one can stop them due to monsters in the desert listening to it. Beep Box seems like it could be very fun!

Thank you for listening!! and for the lovely description <33 that might be my favorite too. Beepbox is fun! It’s really approachable too, almost gamified.

your thoughts on idolism's effects on an inferiority complex hit hard. i do the same exact thing. i always think of everyone as infinitely better than me in every way, and on low days, that always leads to trouble. it's been the hardest conceit for me to get rid of.

""Babygirl, you can't be stimming with Instagram Reels"" lmaoooo too real... felt on that blurb, to the point where i even use *discord* strictly via browser even on phone cos that too has been too much for me for a while, and left a few servers and all, and sworn off nitro, for less overwhelm too

"To idolize is to idealize; it is projecting this perfect image onto someone and it doesn't acknowledge their personhood." also fax..... i got long experience being fuckass hogwild for some music artist or another since i was like 12 (now 28), but increasingly theres the motto of "theyre just some guy" cos really they Are (and sometimes it can be a mundanely beautiful thing) ~ just a tangent rlly

@sneekrealm I also think about that saying, "never meet your heroes," for the same reasons. I like your descriptor too, "mundanely beautiful," and I appreciate you commenting! Brightened up my day considerably
