fuckign SUS & MOOB
theres this discourse around “gifted kid syndrome”… growing up as a “gifted kid” and then later developing depression and anxiety because you’re not “gifted” anymore once youre an adult. some ppl say it’s a legitimate thing that causes trauma, and others say it’s just privileged smart kids being upset cuz they’re not special✧･ﾟ:*✧･ﾟ:* anymore; that it’s the kids who struggled in school that actually have it worse. (and i dont mean special needs - that’s a whole other conversation) ive held both of those opinions v strongly in the past but i think now i just believe that theyre both right to an extent. it’s just shitty in general to be shoved into a box and then get punished for not fitting it.
i was “gifted” growing up, and a close friend of mine was “not,” and theres absolutely no debate that her status as such put her through hell & still affects her to this day. it was awful to watch, let alone experience. that’s why for a long time i was on the “gifted kids are just entitled” side of this debate.
but as time has passed and i’ve been to therapy, ive realized that those high expectations DID take a toll; different from my friend’s, but still there. i was told by the adults i trusted that i was incredible - and now later in life, i’ve been punished and ridiculed for having the audacity to ever have believed them. i genuinely cannot accept the idea that i’m good at anything anymore, because no matter how much validation or praise i get, or how much i like my own work, my brain tells me that it’s just my ‘gifted kid’ ego talking. i struggle to even accept the idea that it’s okay not to be good at something. i’m afraid of being led into another “gotcha” trap because i believed people when they gave me a compliment.
it’s like that prank in middle school where a bunch of kids tell the “ugly” kid that their crush thinks theyre hot, just to laugh at how “deluded” they are and watch them embarrass themselves. is that really any better than just being treated like the “ugly” kid, period?

Something, something, an action meant to mock and humiliate in order to control the daughter into doing her father’s bidding ends up making her happy and falling for her mock-groom.
Extreme self indulgence I do not apologize for
psychological manipulator but instead of degrading you and giving you trauma they subtly manipulate you into having better self-care habits and having more love for yourself
you literally just described a therapist
we seriously need to bring back the concept of “despite its flaws i still enjoy it” instead of ‘cancelling’ every fuckin thing in sight
We also need to stop insisting that everyone enjoying flawed things must put 25 cents in the Problematic Jar and recite all its failings from memory.
If I just may add: we really need to stop pretending that “I’m a Good person, ergo the thing I like is PERFECT and if you criticize it you’re an ENEMY”. You can enjoy stuff AND keep your sense of critical thinking.

@youtube why did u just show me an ad for m*tt w*lsh’s awful fucking documentary. what part of your algorithm made u think i was part of the target demographic. my government spy is slacking on the job
#lime rants#‘transgenderism’ UGH#‘these are the questions youre NOT SUPPOSED TO ASK wooo we’re revolutionary’#yeah asshole theres lots of questions you shouldnt ask because theyre disrespectful at best and dehumanizing at worst#‘do you think this film will make people upset’ yeah but that doesnt make it good you fucko#our prototypical idea of what a ‘revolutionary’ is has led many to believe that having the more controversial opinions makes them ‘brave’#sometimes it just makes you a myopic douche with your head up your ass
literally i was having the thought “in 3 years i will be 30, oh no im getting old” and now have seen multiple positivity posts on my dash regarding entering your 30s. havent seen ANY before today. is this just the aging of Tumblr’s overall user base or is the government agent spying on me through my phone camera just really sympathetic
I've seen a few mentions of centaur dancers and even drawings of dancing 'taurs in your blog but like... how do you think that would work? wouldn't the horse half be too (for lack of a better word) unwieldy?
Horses can actually be incredibly nimble! Watching most any sort of working horse, particularly roping/cutting horses and western discipline with their turn-on-a-dime twists and circles really show how fast even whole-body movements can be, but of course looking at dressage and horses at liberty shows are great inspiration for what centaur dancing can look like!
A lot of what we perceive as fairly clumsy movements from horses in acts/shows are because they are just doing a trained movement, so the movement is going to depend on how much the trainer was able to convey to the horse in training, how much the horse is motivated to do the thing in the moment, and a million other horse thoughts going on at the time of the trainer/rider asking for the behavior. So compared to a trained dancer who knows exactly what they are trying to achieve and has potentially trained to push the limitations of their own bodies, the possibilities for centaur dancing are a huge extension on any movement you can imagine and see a horse performing naturally!I think all kinds of dances would work no issue, though they would need a lot more room than your average human dance floor!
I think a lot of the dancing would involve a lot of spinning and tight circles, showing off foot-coordination and fancy turns- particularly when done with a partner! Another important aspect would be percussion rhythms ‘played’ with the hooves as they move, particularly for solo performances, but a fun layer to add to any dance! (add bells and noisemakers to the hooves for extra flair!)
and a preview of another ask, as well as my favorite idea for the casual centaur dancing pair is simple fancy pacing in coordination with a partner, generally in some form of graceful swooping pattern that includes other pairs if you really want to make it a party!
The possibilities are endless! Even something like the rearing wild stallions do at each other could be imagined as a cool dance with a bit of coordination!
i will almost certainly never finish this lmao. medic tf2! December 2019, roughly. sorry if the audio's a little out of sync, my software gave me trouble

First thing I’ve drawn since I lost everything on my hard drive months ago
Sun and Moon as they appear in my fanfic: Twin Animatronics With Too Much Time on Their Hands
Designs heavily inspired by @shandzii’s costume upgrades for the boys since theirs were always how I envisioned them in my head while writing. Though I still wanted to give them a small bit of my own touch to them when finally drawing them sdlkfjsldkfj.
Honestly I wonder if I should just make another blog for this fic series instead of shoving everything here on my Invader ZiM blog for lack of better place to put it sdlkfjsdkfjsdfk
The BBC is releasing over 16,000 sound effects for free download
THIS will be sooo good for my soundboard. Those online sessions are about to become even better :D
First music, then voice modifiers… Now this. Perfect.
Also, I’m pretty sure it can be used for a lot of other activities.
Yay, no more Soundbible!
For any content creators who’d like it!
ok but why did they make the blackout bingo lady so hot

one of my friends found radiooooo which is a site that streams music from any country from any decade (well, most countries/decade combos work) and we’ve been digging going on a quest to find what is rad
so far the following is good
- 50s/60s/70s/80s russia
- 70s cambodia
- 20s japan
- 80s ethiopia
- 80s india
let’s add 70s armenia and 70s japan to this list
actually im willing to bet 70s *any country will be amazing, it’s all been really good so far
and if you go for 90s india fast music you might get hit in the face with tunak tunak tun right away so get your meme groove on
devildyke
one of my moms recommended 70s east germany and this proves true, this is weird and amazing in a good way
