one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become
I Drew a pickle Xenomorph. I think this explains their acid blood. They’re all just pickles.
still thinking about my very religious grandmother being super proud of me for being into saint michael the archangel while I'm like this because a gay book with him being lucifer's boyfriend (and I'm regularly drawing them making out)
Every few weeks I think about Lucifer in angels before man. Lovely Lucifer, curious Lucifer, hungry for life and love and experience and so so curious, almost childlike_ and I think how god didn't like how slow Lucifer was going about bringing about the end so he took matters into his own hands. I think of that kind of betrayal. I think how he was pushed into doing what he was created for, not given a choice into it, punished for it, and Michael will never know the true story, and if he does, he will never trust Lucy because his loyalties lie with god.
Then I think of Uriel with the other half of his soul in the great darkness. I think of him losing his half, having to shift his loyalties for survival and from fear_and I get very sad.
omw to eat glass
thought of Michael coming to regret what he's done and being taunted by all the iconography of him killing, hurting, casting down Lucifer everywhere he looks on Earth
reading children of dune and almost in tears at the tragedy of sibling-hood from both fronts
(we speak the same ancient languages that only we understand. we fight together as tigers and scheme against the world hand in hand. we bring out the ghosts of our past and then exorcise them from each other in the dark. we are the only bastion of empathy and understanding of each other. when we part i am in agony over my solitude but i will walk on and fight, warp fate and myself in order to return.)
(i am standing in the shadow of your long-gone presence. i haven't seen you in years but i hear your name spoken from all corners of the world and instead of a comfort it is a weapon that i must wield to stay in power. i stood in a crowd around you as a stranger when you spat at the temple of your legend and wished i would run to you and beg you to save me from myself but the fear gripped me too tight to move. you walked away and i realized i have no one left who will love me.)
I drew cats from stardew valley :D

you can’t be anti-immigration and helpol. you just cant. xenia is such an integral part of this religion. good will. hospitality. kindness to strangers. being anti-immigration goes against all that. if you’re helpol and anti-immigration do better.
