Hey Quick Test, Reblog Or Like This If You DONT Think Neopronouns Are Stupid Im Trying To Prove A Point

NO BC THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I HAD MADE A PLUSH AND SOMEONE SAID THEY'D PAY $10 FOR IT

still thinking about the brainrot that fast fashion has caused in people, like i made this pair of pants that are black and white with a cool flowery design, and an acquaintance saw them and said "wow i'd pay like 20 dollars for you to make me a pair" and i could barely think with how utterly horrified i was at that; i told them that 20 dollars wouldn't even cover the materials, let alone the hours of work that went into cutting, sewing, ironing, hemming, altering, etc. they just had this look on their face when i told them that, when i said i wouldn't make them a pair for even 100 dollars because that was still way too low of an amount, a look that said "you're crazy for thinking that those cost 100 dollars" and maybe i am crazy but holy shit, 20 dollars for a pair of handmade, durable, lined pants fitted specifically to your measurements? 20 dollars for upwards of 60 hours of work? 20 dollars for several yards of high-quality fabric, thread, and buttons? 20 dollars???

notes for my impostor syndrome:

• no, it's not painful to walk for abled-bodied people

• no, healthy people don't usually use every chance they get to lean against walls or sit down

• no, ableds don't dream about shower stool

• no, ableds don't celebrate days when they're not in pain. because usually they're not in pain

• no, ableds don't want to stop walking mid-way, lay down on the ground, curl up and cry and whine from pain

• no, ableds aren't exhausted by their own bodies 24/7

I personally call them “Mr. Grabby hands, or Sir grabby hands the third” but claws is what comes out when guests are around

What makes an Alpha

I feel like Alphas are usually either seen as these brute, no-bullshit, and rude kind of people or these envious, bully-like, arrogant assholes by most writers and other content creators (ofc not always but a lot of the time). I don’t know about you guys, but for me that’s not what makes an Alpha. So I decided to make a list on things that Alphas strive to be and do. Stuff that they are taught since a young age to pursue. A “code” of sorts that they seek to live by. 

Stoicism as a goal

I’m not saying that Alphas mustn’t show emotions or that they are seen as bad by them. What I’m saying is that an Alpha strives to tackle a situation as it is. They tend to stand their ground and try to solve or confront things without trying to show fear, confusion, desperation or anger, even if they do feel all of those. In their minds, it is a disservice for everyone if they can’t calm down and focus on dealing with what’s right in front of them. Cause if the Alphas of the pack are lost, who is their pack supposed to follow?

Blind Determination

Alphas certainty are stubborn creatures. Which is one of the reasons Betas have to mediate so many Alpha - Alpha or Alpha - Omega discussions and fights, cause if you let it take its own course, it could take days. Alphas are taught to never give up and to never back down from a fight or obstacle. They are taught to not only be physically strong but also mentally. Resourcefulness is just as important for a pack leader to have than just brawn. Alphas will break every single bone of their body if that means they can reach their goal. 

The desire to protect and take care of others

Even if the two above make them sound like these insane shuttered animals that just know no chill, this is not true. Alphas above all harbour the desire to protect and to take care of others. Of their loved ones, of their friends, pretty much anyone they think might need someone to look after them at the moment. They like to feel needed and they like to feel like they are exerting a good Alpha role. Not to mention that care is a concept with many interpretations. Care can come from the body, from the mind or from the soul. An Alpha will adjust their behaviour to match the one you need the most. Even if you, yourself does not realise that yet. 

Pride

Alphas are prideful. People shit on them pretty harshly sometimes because of assholes out there in the world, but Alphas will never bring that on themselves without reason. They are proud of their dynamics, and they will not let you or anyone tell them that they need to apologise or feel bad for being who they are. And like said above, they are pretty stubborn, so good luck changing their minds on that.  

Community over individual 

This one is another one that may cause a lot of conflict with Omegas and even Betas. Pack mentality is almost Alpha mentality. An Alpha will put their pack above themselves every-bloody-time! And they expect you to do the same. Which needless to say, will cause some fights to occur. They’ll always put what is good for the bunch over what is good for the person. For them the maintenance and the perpetuation of the pack is more important than what one wants. And that includes themselves. 

Kindness to those in need

Alphas like to help. It’s just who they are. They like to help animals, they like to help children, they like to help elderly people and they like to help Omegas (which again, may stir some disagreements). They are taught to be strong, but they are too taught to be kind, merciful and thoughtful of those around them. Since community not only applies to the pack they belong to, but also the ones that exist beyond their own. Alphas strive to be good leaders, and good leaders too must have empathy and the ability to help those in need.  

Nobility and Honour in one’s actions 

An Alpha strives to be the one people lean on and seek shelter at. And for that to be true they must honour their own words, values and actions. An Alpha must be just, and not allow their minds to be clouded by ill temper. They must live and die like the one they want their pack to look up to. Honour and Nobility for an Alpha is pretty much the amalgamation of all of the other things in this list. It is knowing when you’re needed and when you’re not, it is knowing when the many matter more than the few and vice-versa, it is to know when to be ruthless and when to be kind. It is to know what kind of Alpha your pack, family, loved ones, and your people need you to be at any given moment. It is to be the best Alpha you can be. 

I noticed after writing this that this sounds kinda like, a knight or samurai code lol But honestly it might not be very far from the truth. Alphas do strike me as the kind that are dorky enough to live by this sort of stuff. But of course, just because one wants to doesn’t mean they manage to. This list is not a “set on stone” kind of thing. It is practically impossible to be all of the things on this list. Alphas aren’t all like that, obviously. They have different personalities, thus different flaws and strengths. There are individualistic Alphas, selfish Alphas, fearful Alphas, shady Alphas, etc. And that still doesn’t change the fact that they are Alphas. However, I’m pretty certain that all of them have at least one or two of the things in the list to keep them more or less in the same spectrum of things. 

But this was it for now. Feel free to add on and tell me if you either agree or disagree with something, or what you think makes an Alpha, an Alpha ^^. 

This made me chuckle so hard I spilled my Pepsi

sorry for constantly stalking everything you do at all times, do you still fw me?

Anons!!!!! I’m bored…

What's the age range you prefer for your partner?

I'm kinda curious :3

-<3

I haven't thought much about it but yeah, I would prefer someone older then me.

Just someone who can understand me and can put up with my clingy ahhh self >_<

Moon is feeling a bit quirky right now. Don't worry though he's fine...for now.

A lil teaser for my next animation project :D

Also btw trump recognizing only "the two biological sexes" harms intersex people too. I am a researcher of sex and it's affects on disease, and sex is far more complicated than "two sexes" and it always will be. Sex is multifaceted and there are far more than two binary sexes. Keep that in mind too. Don't fall into bioessentialism as you fight for trans people and intersex people.

Today hasn't been very good. Reblog to cover prev in blankets and tell them everything is going to be okay and they're loved.
