pride art of elfilin from kirby drawn by golden-art-place. full description below.ALT

[ID: Pride art of Elfilin from Kirby happily holding up a trans flag with cheer, drawn on a nonbinary gradient background.

In the corners are two smaller chibi-like Elfilins, the one on the bottom left sleeping peacefully with “zzz” written above in trans colors, and the one in the upper right in loaf position with a trans heart.

The canvas is decorated with glowing white hearts. /End ID]

I'm tired of people being like "stretch marks are not sth to be ashamed of" and then only posting pictures/drawings of people with thin, barely visible white lines.
People with big, colored, very visible stretch marks are beautiful too! Why do we idealize even our stretch marks?

Sometimes your identity is going be contradictory. That could be for sexuality, gender, religion, basically anything that makes up who you are as a person. And that’s okay, and natural. The world is made up of shades of gray, and our brains are incredibly complex organs running off ancient instinct. Things are going to be nuanced, and things are gonna get a little contradictory. The sooner you embrace that, make peace with it, learn to love it as a natural and inevitable part of who you are, the happier you’ll be. I promise

I will never be over endosymbiosis. 

Simply put, endosymbiosis is a biological concept involving two symbiotic organisms who, over millions of years, become so interdependent that they evolve into one organism. 

It’s theorized that this how cells got their chloroplasts and mitochondria. It’s why, to this day, mitochondria have DNA unique to themselves, separate from the DNA of the rest of the organism. 

And without this primordial partnership, life on Earth as we know it wouldn’t exist. 

Nature may be arms race. But it’s equally a cooperation. And we lose so much perspective if we try to strip away that nuance, and apply that misconception to our own society. 

We survive better together than we ever could apart

It's August Adipose!

Happy drawing!

hyperfixation sucks I think just a little too hard about a guy who isn't even real and I could start crying any second

like, you're telling me I'm just supposed to go to work tomorrow with the complete knowledge of all the things all the horrors these guys have gone through

You're not responsible for prejudice against you or your identity, you're not responsible for people who stereotype, generalize, or make assumptions.

tumblr staff have...

STOP GIVING THEM MONEY! stop trying to make crab day or whatever else happen. paying for stuff from the shop is rewarding them for ignoring the userbase continuously and doing things the majority don't want, even if the things they're doing and allowing can cause actual deaths. staff shouldn't be praised and get profit for ignoring their users in exchange for trying to turn tumblr into twitter 2 ft. tiktok. at this point i don't even care for "staff are people 🥺 be nice" arguments, because even when people are being very polite in feedback, they're perfectly fine ignoring it in exchange for implementing changes nobody wants or asked for, all because new users may like it more (and forget anyone who's used the site for years, apparently).

leave bad reviews. don't buy things from the shop. send feedback, even if they never reply. email them and @ the staff, send asks to the wip blog. don't just blindly buy into "we need to support the site, buy xyz shop product", they don't deserve more money for giving a worse product.

i want flowey to learn about aromanticism and lovelessness and he spends hours reading and learning and he finally understands and he is not alone and there is a word for it and there is nothing wrong with him. I want him to ramble about being loveless to his friends and rant about how love is too glorified and how that can end up being harmful to many people, including him. I want his friends and family to support him and understand him. I want Flowey to go from someone who thought he was going to be miserable forever for not feeling love, to someone that embraces the fact that he is loveless

shout out to non-friending aplatonic people!

your worth is not based on whether or not you have/want friends! You hold just as much value in this world as friending people and you add a unique and beautiful perspective to life.

You're not unkind or selfish for not feeling platonic feelings, and if wanting to explore life without friends is what makes you happiest then you deserve to pursue that without judgement!

The world is full of different types of relationships and there are not rules on what attraction is right or wrong to feel or not feel! It's okay for friendship to simply be a relationship type that doesn't work for you!

You can live a full, happy, wonderful life without friends. Friendship is not the core of humanity or at all required to be a good person.

There is a lot of media that demonizes people without friends, that pushes the idea that they're evil BECAUSE they have no friends. but I promise that's not true. Friendship does not determine your morals and ability to be kind to others. Aplatonic people are not evil or bad because we don't feel friendship in the same way non-aplatonic people do. We are not morally corrupt because of the attraction we feel. We are capable of kindness and cruelty just as much as any other group of people on this planet.

So shout out to non-friending aplatonic people! I hope we all find peace and happiness in ourselves and our lives!

There is a fire overlay over the image, and text in various gradients of color reads: "You can just start!" / "You don't need permission to develop a new interest or skill!" / "If shit sucks, hit the books!" / "The time will pass anyway!" /End ID]
