“Born From You, But Led By Me!”

Genuinely one of the games that made my childhood (and I was a few years late to it).

I played the ranger series when I was like 10 in around 2012 and it seriously changed the course of my writing abilities so much!

Not to mention the fan fiction community was so active for years! The retellings of the game were so well thought out and amazing.

I loved Shadows of Almia so much I bought a second copy to replay as many times as I wanted (because I really cared about keeping that first play through file for some reason 😅). So I’ve played it about 6 times now...

Alright guys. Best video game ever made:

Pokémon Ranger: Shadows Of Almia (2008)

Anyway I want to tell bi girls, especially with how disgustingly biphobic twitter has been, that if you have a preference for men, don’t feel obligated to try and make yourself seem more “gay.” You’re enough. Don’t suppress your attraction for temporary validation. Your love for all genders is real & valid. you shouldn’t feel restricted or that you have to make fifty wlw moodboards and strip your pages of any mention of men to prove your worth to biphobes. Men are hot. Talk about how much you find them attractive without shame.

stop.

if you are in the carry on fandom, please reblog this post.

i wanna see how big we are

Some of my story

When I was 8 years old the seeds were planted for my mental issues. By the age of 10 they were truly making themselves known in behavioural difficulties. At 12 I was given counselling for communicational management. When I was 13 that turned into visits to an NHS psychiatrist and psychologist to sort out my depression, anxiety, disordered eating, body image issues and suicidal thoughts.

It took a while but I made it back to feeling good. My anxiety persisted somewhat, but the depression was pretty much gone.

But then, last month, with me being now 17, the anxiety came back in full force worse than it’s ever been before. My doctor even wanted to prescribe me medication. I lost half a stone (7 pounds) in 10 days, lost so much sleep and woke up in cold sweats every night, and I even had to have a blood test to confirm that nothing was wrong.

But the reason for this would have shocked 13 year old me.

It was because I developed a debilitating fear of death and dying. I realised how much I love being alive and how much I haven’t been able to do yet.

I may be afraid, and I may have been miserable for weeks at a time, wondering if I should just quicken up the process (since you can’t be afraid of something that’s already happened, especially not something like that), but it has also inspired me. 

I’ve taken up walking (WALKING), both alone and with friends. I even now have a couple of friends I’m going to go walking with every weekend. And, hopefully, soon I should be able to begin enjoying my ballet lessons again.

I’ve also made huge progress with my body image. This month has made me more comfortable with what I’ve been given. Soon, I’ll hopefully be happy again.

Times may be hard, but if you stay with yourself long enough to see the other side of it, you may just surprise yourself.

Recovery is hard, recovery can be slow, but recovery is worth it. It may not be the only time you have to recover but that’s just going to be another chapter.

And this post may be the most ramble-y mess I’ve ever written, but I feel like some people need to hear that they deserve to tell the world their entire story, not just a couple of chapters.

I’ve finally (pretty much) finished my She-Ra dress!

It’s taken me 3 weeks, partially because of personal reasons, but I’ve finally got it finished!!

It’s not perfect and there are some minor errors that are already bugging me but I’m proud of myself for making it a reality🙂.

(Forgive me for the no-makeup face, but I really didn’t have the energy yesterday and my skin was being kind to me for once, and it’s time I stopped feeling ashamed of my spots and what my face naturally looks like.)

To attach the cape I decided to use gold ribbon rather than sewing it on, as I wanted to have an amount of freedom as to getting the dress on.

I did make a few changes design wise, although most of them were for the logistics of wearability, since I’ve made it using cheaper materials, and because we’ve all come across that one cosplay that is NOT convention-safe or practical in its original form.

Hopefully I’ll be able to take nicer photos of it in a few days ☺️.

So.... that was predictable o-o -_-
