A thing I love to do is telling prepper dudes that one of my disaster readiness skills is making stuffed animals. They never get it. Like, my dude, when things get very bad and we're all sharing overcrowded shelters, you're gonna want the power to comfort children. Trust me.

You know what, I got a whole bunch of fabric / old clothes at home and no idea what to do with it. I might just learn how to do this too

Then you might be interested in a database with hundreds of free plushie sewing patterns of just about any animal, as well as dinosaurs, pokemon, etc: https://craftresource.fandom.com/wiki/Plushie_Sewing_Patterns

and a little more chalenging but my personal favorite: - totally not that one shark from a Swedish furniture chain store that everyone loves: https://freesewing.org/docs/designs/hi

Yep, they always hate it when I say spinning, knitting, and crocheting.

As if having string, fabric and rope isn't VITAL to human wellbeing!

Another one I like to bring up is soapmaking.

You're gonna run around the post-apocalyptic world, cutting wood for shelters and fighting people for their toilet paper stash...but you don't have a way to keep your wounds clean? Enjoy dying of sepsis, my dude.

We are on somewhat different vibes here because my point was that all the gun hoarding, wood chopping, shelter building, spinning, knitting, crocheting AND even soap making are not going to keep you alive if you can't live in community with other people. The idea of individual self-sufficient existence is a myth and doesn't really become less of a myth when you add underappreciated crafts. At the end of the day you need to get along. And what we know from read disasters is that that requires a lot of waiting in crowded place of shelters together until the moment comes when it's safe again to move, find resources etc. for a little while before waiting in a crowded place of shelter again for a time. So you need stuffed animals, you need packs of cards, you need little games and song and dance and child caring skills and conflict resolution skills. Survival is social.

Oh no, did yall break up? I saw it coming but I was hoping you would work it out

Not a break up.

Just the yawning chasm of emotional disrepair. Bunch of shit has happened between me and both my partners and I'm kind of just having a moment right now. A distinctly selfish and not selfless one.

The shitty part about being demi (and a hopeless romantic) is that once you lose a feeling a little, it's really easy for it all to kind of slip away. If I stop liking someone, it's a slippery slope to all the love being gone too. Trying my best to hold onto them both but I'm also okay finding new distractions that make me feel centered and seen and loved.

Maybe things will change for the better. Maybe they won't. Who knows.

If they won't treat me right, I will absolutely, 100% find someone or someones who will.

That's the post and no context is needed. But definitely happily back on the dating scene 💜

Is everything ok? I'm sorry you're dealin' with non-communication bs *hugs*

Just dealing with communication breakdowns.

It hurts and especially cause I'm demi it sends me into a certain head space where I lose feeling and love for people.

But I'll be okay. I'm an individual who has needs too and I don't need to fix everyone, you know?

Insecure Partner Headcanons

(how they support and reassure you)

Reth, Hassian, Nai’o, Hodari

Reth

  • it baffles him that you could feel insecure in the relationship at all
  • he doesn’t take it personally, he knows it’s not his fault
  • he just thinks you’re so amazing and thinks it’s a blessing to be with you every day
  • and he feels like you’re way above his league
  • so it confuses him when you ask him if he’d still love you if you were a worm
  • because yeah??? he’ll love you in any way shape or form
  • he knows you just need a little extra reassurance and he’s more than happy to give it
  • he always makes your favorite meal when you’re feeling particularly down
  • and he holds you and plants many kisses all over your face as he reassures you that he’s not leaving and that you make him so happy

Hassian

  • while he comes off as abrasive when you first meet, he’s actually a very gentle lover
  • he’s very attentive to your emotions, so he can tell you’re feeling insecure even before you say anything by reading your body language
  • and by that time he’s already gone out and purchased a small gift for you to show his devotion and appreciation
  • he gifts it to you as soon as he comes home and pulls you into a hug
  • and he loves slow dancing with you
  • he puts on a record and twirls you around the kitchen as he whispers praises and promises to love you forever in your ear

Nai’o

  • it’s always unexpected when you express feeling insecure
  • your hints always go over his head so when you finally mention something, it puts him in a bit of a frenzy
  • did he say something wrong? was he not spending enough time with you? he knows the farm keeps him busy but he never wants to make you feel like you’re not a priority
  • and you have to do a little reassuring to him that he’s done everything right, you just have insecurities and anxiety
  • but once he gets it he will stop at nothing to make sure you feel secure
  • his go-to method is a bouquet of flowers and a heartfelt letter professing his love for you and everything he loves about you
  • all your quirks and habits, and he sings you praises
  • all the letters are tearstained from how happy they make you to read
  • he’s the kind of boyfriend that likes to sit and admire what’s his
  • so while you lay in bed or sit on the couch, he just gazes into your eyes until you become bashful
  • he just thinks you’re so kind and beautiful and wants you to know it too

Hodari

  • he shows you how much he cares by doing things for you
  • he’ll rub your feet, bring you coffee or tea in bed, pick the sundrop lilies for you to put in your hair
  • but sometimes the little nagging voice in your head gets to you anyway
  • so he has Najuma help him plan a fun night of games and finger foods to eat
  • because spending time with your family always makes you feel better
  • so you spend the whole night laughing and chatting and losing at cards but it’s all okay
  • and at the end of the night he gives you a kiss on the forehead and he tells you how much you mean to him

How are you? Are things any better? Did your boyfriend work things out with his dnd group?

Whassup anon!

Yes things have gotten better. He's still working through grief things and settling his mom's affairs with his brother. But he seems to be managing his depression a little better, getting sleep and getting back to the stuff he enjoys. He bought a Steamdeck and that's keeping him pretty busy these days.

I don't know if he necessarily worked things out with the old DnD group but him and some of the old crew started a new casual game night that they're enjoying during the time slot they used to play. I think they wanna start up a new group with the folks who still get along...

I've been going to the game nights though and everyone seems friendly and chill. Kind of have a crush on one of the folks there and trying to figure out how to not be an awkward melon about it lol. I'm way too demisexual for crushes. Overthinking everrrrything 😅

But also currently trying to find a new job cause my current one is dog shit and I'm tired of all the messy shit going on with management. I got a few interviews today and tomorrow so wish me luck 🖤
