a chocbox gift for athenejen, who had the brain size necessary to request wotakoi OT4! 💛💖💙💚
[Image is a digital drawing of Tarou, Narumi, Hirotaka, and Hanako sprawled on the ground in lounge-wear, such that they form a square of connections. Narumi is in an oversized pink sweater and leggings, happily reading a volume of manga with her head pillowed in Tarou’s lap and her feet kicking onto Hirotaka’s legs. Hirotaka is similarly dressed in a blue sweater and track pants, leaning against some cushions and playing placidly on his Switch. His socked feet are nestled gently against the small of Hanako’s back; she’s on her side, in a green t-shirt and casual shorts, perusing a sewing magazine with her feet pressed against Tarou’s and Narumi’s arms. Tarou is on his back, apparently trying to sleep, nudging at Hanako’s leg with a little annoyance on his face at being disturbed by her kicking. His heather grey sweatshirt is riding up on his belly a little.]

Your friends don't secretly hate you
You're not a bad person for things you did and said months or years ago that you now recognize as bad
You aren't cringe for being excited about things
You don't talk too much
If you feel sick from intrusive thoughts/rsd please sip on some water, get a blanket or plush to cuddle, put on some music or a video that makes you feel happy
You are loved <3
“Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a saviour. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.” -Hayao Miyazaki
Happy International Women’s Day!

just learned that magnolias are so old that they’re pollinated by beetles because they existed before bees
Literally cannot emphasize enough that my #1 writing advice is to stop being afraid. Stop being afraid of sounding too cringe, or too stupid, or too horrifying, or too horny, or too weird, or too much, or too little, or too you. You need to put your entire pussy into your art. Sure, it won't be to everyone's tastes, but if you keep yourself to the blandest tamest safest roads possible you will be of no one's tastes, not even yours.
