Advice from a "weird kid"

(Reupload because I forgot to cover my face)

Literally just be yourself. Don't let others tell you what you can or can't like.

People will dislike you regardless of if you're preppy, goth, emo, black, white, able-bodied, disabled, Christian, pagan, whatever. PEOPLE WILL DISLIKE YOU AND THAT'S OKAY. People will have things to say. In my experience, most just whisper to their friends because they're not brave enough to say anything to my face. And you know what? Who gives a damn about them??

Dye your hair, wear those bracelets, get those piercings, wear those pins, wave that flag, wear that jewelry, put on that makeup, do whatever the fuck you want with your body and belongings forever because if you're not hurting anybody or yourself GO FOR IT. You will never ever be happy if you surround yourself with people who only like you for a fabricated version of yourself and not who you truly are. Also, when you actually express yourself, you attract people of similar communities and you make new friends with the same interests!!

And yes, I know about bullying....I'm a trans/queer disabled person in the conservative Bible belt, I know all about bullying. Don't let bullies drag you down, though, because fuck them

Advice for those worrying about getting bullied

Image related. This is me, I'm your typical "weird kid" with nerdy interests, pins on their bag, brings plushies to school occasionally....and let me just say one thing.

DO *NOT* LET OTHERS STOP YOU FROM BEING HAPPY.

I see so, SO many posts on here and other teenager/school subreddits asking things like "will I get bullied?" "Is this too cringey?" "is this weird?" and listen, bullying fucking sucks. I would know because I've been bullied myself, but honestly, it's not horrid if you can learn to ignore them or fend for yourself. Not to say that bullying victims have a "skill issue," because that's not true AT ALL, it's just that you really do have to ignore what people say about you. It's the only way you'll ever be able to express yourself because somebody is gonna dislike you no matter what you do.

In my experience, most people don't get too violent. Alot of other students aren't brave enough to get up in your face and say something, they'll likely just whisper to their friends. I personally don't care if they talk behind my back, because if they're not brave enough to say it to my face, their opinion doesn't matter to me. If people do get violent, find someone to report it to. Genuinely. Please talk to others about bullying!!! If you let it continue IT WILL CONTINUE!!

Anyways, all I have to say is, just do you. Be weird, be cringey, be yourself. Have a million pins on your bag, wear those bracelets, wear that makeup, dye your hair, get those piercings, EXPRESS YOURSELF!! You will never ever EVER be happy if you don't indulge in your own interests because of what others think. If you're surrounding yourself with people who like you for a false version of you and not who you actually are, that's an issue. You shouldn't have to hide yourself from your friends.

Oh and also, I live in a conservative red state. I've had countless people find me cool...you will attract similar people by expressing yourself no matter where you are, you may even help someone else be brave enough to express themselves!!! Much love.

What are your stances on birthright citizenship?

Birthright citizenship, despite being a constitutional right that's existed since the adoption of the 14th amendment in 1968, is up for debate recently, with some of the right wanting to overturn it due to immigration-related issues.

This seemed to of started with Trump attempting to have birthright citizenship removed for those born to illegal immigrants/those without U.S citizenship in 2025 near the start of his 2nd term. Scotus turned it down, and it's grown into a larger debate over time.

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/protecting-the-meaning-and-value-of-american-citizenship/

What do you think? Is citizenship an inherent right for everyone born on U.S soil, or does it only apply if one's parents are already U.S citizens? If it only applies to parents with citizenship, how far does it go back? What are ways to "fix" the issue?

UGHHHH WHY DO PEOPLE KEEP SAYING MY OC LOOKS LIKE A CHILD?!?! 🤬💢💔🙄😬😮‍💨🤬🤬

She's literally an adult. ADULT. It's just my artstyle, I draw in a CHIBI style, DUH!!! She literally has a husband and she's 30 years old!! And yea I draw her husband in a realistic style and he actually looks 30 next to her BUT THAT ISN'T RELEVANT!!! You guys just can't handle the sheer creativity of my awesome artstyle and skills!! 🙄

ALSO STOP COMMENTING ON HER SKINTONE SHE'S BLACK YOU RACISTS. I see people who look like her daily oh my goshhhh...short black women can exist you know 😮‍💨💢🤬

Anyways my commissions are open starting at $180 for an uncolored, un-lined, crumpled up headshot sketch DM if interested!!

EDIT: Please, for the love of this Earth, stop commenting telling me that the oc looks like a child. I know it does. This post is a joke, the whole subreddit is a joke 😭 I've gotten countless notifications of people flaming me/telling me the OC looks like a child. I KNOW SHE DOESSSS AND YES I KNOW SHE'S GREY. This is making fun of artists who actually do this shit and get upset at anyone who calls them out

I DON'T DRAW MY CHARACTERS LIKE THIS REGULARLY!

PaperCat!

This is my blorbo PaperCat!! I love them very much (as you can assume by my username), and they're my sona. They originally started as a joke warrior cats au back when I was 9 years old in the 4th grade and they've stuck with me since. They're entirely 2d and made of paper!! They lead "TrashClan", a clan of cats (there's the warriors roots) who are unconventional objects/pests.

They run a website, www.buypaper.com (NOT a real website, dont try to go to any links) and it sells...paper. that's presumably TrashClan's only real source of income, or atleast Paper's. They constantly advertise it. CONSTANTLY. On another random note, they can shift into a more cat-like form by literally FOLDING THEMSELF into an origami cat.

Gir in canon vs my style!

Okay I'm not sure why one of them ended up so LARGE but he isn't supposed to be bigger i swear. Also I can't draw canon Gir for the life of me

Might draw him out of costume later, because he's even cuter as a robot!! 🥹

Quick Four and X art! (By me)

I really like these two. The algebraliens are my top comfort characters, I love these dumb creatures to death. Four and X are the duo that got me back into BFDI a few years back, and I've loved to see TPOT develop!!! It's helped me through some really rough times.

Anyways, these two are my favorites. I love Four so much (although I like how I drew X in this more, they're fun to draw).

Okay so I've gotten REALLY mixed opinions on this which is why I decided to ask a larger audience. I'm 15, NB but afab (obviously..), and typically have very heavy periods. As in, bleeding through an ultra tampon in a few hours (usually 2-3). My periods typically last around 8 days and don't have any complications, I'm on birth control for my hormones if that changes anything.

This time around, my period has been 11 days. The bleeding is light right now so i'm using a much lower absorbency, but I'm kind of concerned since it's over what my periods typically last...and I'm pretty sure over a week isn't very "normal", per say. I'm going to bring it up to my guardian and see what they say abt it, see if they'll talk to my doctor or whatevs. But I just want a second opinion right now to know if I'm overreacting and it's normal or if I should genuinely be concerned.

So, I recently made a post talking about potential SeaWing adaptations depending on their biome, since the ocean is just so vast. Now, IceWings don't have a very diverse biome, it's just...cold. BUT, I do believe they'd have some specific adaptations for the cold!

Before anyone says it, yes, I am well aware they're dragons and have magic or whatnot. They don't need all this to keep warm, because it's fiction....BUT, I really like the headcanon of them either having some fluff to keep them warm, atleast on vital area, OR having some fat/blubber for insulation, as many arctic species do. I want to know you guys' opinions on this!

If anyone has some input on how they'd survive their harsh climates otherwise (BESIDES "they're fictional magical dragons dude). I'm no expert on arctic animals okay. I'm a teenager on reddit. But I do believe MOST things living in a climate like theirs has something to keep them warm, because I know those scales wouldn't.

But I guess they've just gotten used to it? I dunno. But if polar bears and penguins need something to stay warm they should too... 🥹
