Just me

Times like this, people love to share the Mr. Rogers quote.

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.’”

It’s a beautiful quote.

Here’s the thing though: Mr. Rogers was talking to children.

We are no longer children.

We are no longer meant to take comfort in this sentiment. We are meant to protect its truthfulness so that the children still can. We ARE the helpers now. We are the mothers, we are the helpers.

So while it’s a lovely affirmation: stop looking for the helpers.

If you’re not already: become one of them.

The children are watching.

My favorite thing about reading adult fantasy is just accepting that the first hundred pages or so isn’t going to make any fucking sense. You won’t be able to keep the characters or the places straight and you’ll have very few hints regarding the plot but by the time you hit page 200 you’re all in.

media will make u go Wow i wish i was 15 again and then u will think wow what the hell fuck am i even saying. for gods sake No i dont

not all of it is bad i think….…. we are going to be okay i think.

tumblr is probably gonna destroy the quality, but here’s a quick little comic i came up with last night! an asexual child of aphrodite asks for some guidance from her mom. 

(small edit: after a couple of comments, i want to add that i wrote this as a reflection of my own experiences of being on the asexual spectrum and dealing with the self-doubt of growing up in a highly sexualized society - it’s not meant to be a generalization of all aro/ace people or me trying to speak for anyone)

i love being aromantic and gen-z at the same time. people tell me “oh, you’re broken and empty” like yeah i am, but it has nothing to do with me not wanting to slap a wedding ring on anyone lmao.

adult life might be full of pain and suffering but at least we dont have to do PE anymore
