So I love pokemon, especially the old cards, but I’ve never gotten to get any of those before. I’ve collected cards for a couple years, nothing crazy, best thing I pulled was a Sylveon V alternate full art from a random pack, and a Greninja Star from the 25th anniversary box, both of which are my favorite pokemon next to Arcanine (so mad I sold the Sylveon!!) My mom said her friend wanted me to have these cards since she knows I love pokemon. They were just lying out thrown in a box. I opened it expecting so baseball cards and pokemon cards, basic ones. What I found was not what I was expecting, obviously.

Not only did I find a first edition Togepi, who is just the cutest omgggg 🥹, I found a first edition Meowth, first edition Omanyte, a cool Rayquaza card, Coliseum Video collectors cards from Wrestle Mania VIII (1993), Popeye collector cards, a slightly opened pack of Batman Returns Topps cards (1992) and a few old baseball cards!

Anyways, back to pokemon, I ended up getting almost 7 front to back pages filled in my binder of just the older cards (besides that one full art one and a cool looking Drampa). They weren’t kept in good condition, so I’m not going to be expecting money or gain from them, not that I’m going to try anyways lol, I’m keeping these! I’m sure it may not be as cool to other hardcore collectors, it’s not a legendary pull, but it was really fun for me to go through it and it fulfills a secret itch I have to own old stuff from eras I wish I was apart of. I’m 21 so I never got to collect the older 90’s cards 😅

Anyways, have a great day, God bless you! 💕 ><

I’m so happy!

Figured I’d draw some silly doodles. I love fruitcake (the ship) and I think it’s so cute. I reworked some things on how I draw both of them, Cosmo was originally pretty dainty, but then I thought of how many sweets he eats, and then I got to thinking about if toon metabolism is even a real concept. So eventually I came to the headcanon that he evens it out by how much work he does around gardenview with his baking, so he ends up being a little short and stocky, sturdy but a bit plump, which I didn’t really show well because I’m tired and these doodles are lazy :T. I alternate between his sleeveless design and a long sleeved design as well ^^ also I had to incorporate Sprout because I want to and he’s my favorite next to Cosmo.

I have to post this lol. It’s small, but it made me laugh and feel better. Just a moment ago, I was having one of my usual anxiety attacks, naturally, after I took my PRN medicine, I prayed to God. I always worry about death, it’s one of my biggest stressors. I prayed to God to guide and protect me, my family, my friend, and anybody else struggling in the world. I also asked for a sign from him to let me know that everything will be okay. I wasn’t even finished praying yet, when my cat, Cloverbell, walked in and went to her litterbox in the corner, and just stared dead at me, not blinking or nothing, as she peed for like almost 10 straight seconds. Safe to say I laughed my butt off for a good minute. She normally uses the one upstairs. There’s something about her stare that always makes me laugh. God’s signs come in different forms, even really silly seemingly-insignificant ones like this, so always look out 💕 God bless you all.

Age: 21
Height: 5’3
Weight: 199.2 lbs
Gender: Female
Duration: since I was 16 or 17
Location and symptoms: middle of back, mostly upper but also sometimes lower. Stiffness in morning, pain when bending over and lying down and standing sometimes too. Just overall aching annoying pain lol.

Just got an xray today. Both of these photos are from the front. Haven’t got one since I fell in the shower on my tailbone at 13. I honestly might have broke or fractured it cause it hurt so bad. I don’t remember what it was though.

So I’ve dealt with back pain for a long time. Only recently in my later teens has it really become something that makes me dread getting up.

Back problems and pain are everywhere in my family. My mom has avascular necrosis, degenerative disc disease, and arthritis. My grandma has many problems too, including spinal stenosis. My dad’s side of the family had back problems as well.

Finally, since I literally can’t sleep or even rest in my bed or really do fucking anything anymore without a heating pad, which I make sure has an auto off function dw, I decided to go in. I’ve lost 40 lbs since being on Zepbound and I’ve noticed my pain getting worse if anything, so I know it’s not cause I’m fat. Not that I thought it was, but my mom told me it would be best to do that because they said the same things to her growing up. Hers started at 13 I think.

They should have my results back in about a week, decided to post my xray images cause I think they look wonky. You think it’d be straighter, guess my back is gay too. Fitting since it’s pride 🏳️‍🌈. I’m not a doctor so I have no clue what I’m looking at lol. Have a good day, God bless 💕

Hi

My mom bought me some fidget toys and some sound cancelling headphones to help me with my mental disorders and my autism because it’s been getting worse. Do these actually help with self injury from overstimulation or not? I really hope they help with my case at least because I do most of my self injury with my hands.

Some things I do when when I get really over stimulated by loud noises or by situations is i hit myself and pull out my hair and hit whatever is near me (not people or living things but objects like a wall or a table or a bed, I’d always hurt myself before another person) sometimes I throw things when I’m too overwhelmed by myself in my room, like my bed or a chair. Or I rip up things. Or bang my head on a wall. But those last three don’t happen often at all.

I also cut myself as well when I’m overstimulated but that’s not because of my autism but because of my BPD and other disorders. That’s been happening more often so I think this would help with cutting myself too maybe.

Please let me know.

Also happy pride month 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

My Mom recently gave me something that I’ll treasure forever, not because it was signed, but because my late Father gave it to her. In 2013 we experienced a flood that destroyed my family house. My mom had shelves upon shelves upon shelves of precious moments figures. I adored seeing the figurines in the glass shelves, her collection was so vast that I seemed to find a new one to look at each day! There weren’t many that survived, but this one did. (Forgive the dirtiness, this thing has seen a lot!!)

My father gave my mom this signed precious moment. I don’t have many things besides memories to remember him by. This is one of them now. I’m collecting in my Mom’s stead now, my little sister as well. That’s not to say my mom still doesn’t keep an eye out however! I plan on getting a tattoo as well one day in the future. I figured I would share this here. I hope you all have a great day, God bless 💕🪽

I’m curious if anybody else has dealt with this.

I have several phobias, fear of insects, fear of massive bodies of water, fear of abandonment, etc. but there’s one that I know isn’t as common.

Almost my whole life I’ve had a debilitating fear of eyeballs and eye contact (ommetphobia). Specifically eyeballs whenever they’re in the sockets.

I’m assuming the reason I got this phobia is from something I saw on TV as a kid that traumatized me. It was this old ER story show (I think it was about stories? Could have been a live one but I doubt they’d show that on live television), I don’t remember if it was fictional or not. Somebody came in to check on the man, and when the nurses opened the curtain, his eyeballs were hanging out of their sockets by the stringy things attached to them. I’m curious to find the show honestly and see if it’s as scary as I remember.

( I FOUND THE VIDEO OMG https://youtu.be/HgihIJTNu68 )

I cannot hold eye contact in a conversation, and I avoid going to eye doctors. I don’t even leave the house or talk to anybody really so eye contact isn’t a huge problem for me. I am a huge fan of analog horror and digital horror, but when any eyeball imagery comes on screen, or someone with their eyes wide open, my chest tightens and I want to run away, and all of my senses tell me “DANGER”.

It’s like someone is grabbing you and pulling you in the opposite direction, or making your limbs move on their own. And it’s such a silly thing to be scared of too I’m sure.

One time I almost punched my ex on instinct. He was sleeping and I had to wake him up for work. He shot his eyes wide open, he always woke up like that. Scared the heck out of me seeing them open so fast and focus on me. I felt like I was in danger over someone opening their eyes!! Phobias are crazy.

Anyways, please if anybody has dealt with anything similar, let me know your experiences!

Old Jax Maid art. One of the ones I’m actually proud of. I’m not gonna be lingering too long on this subreddit until after ep 9 drops, and I don’t want spoilers, but I figured I’d share this. I made this when ep 5 dropped and never posted it anywhere rlly.

My logo and username has changed so much since then (from P3tals, altiusvolantis, to whatever tf else I did, to now. I can never stick with one thing lol) so i tend to not show off my old art because it embarrasses me. But this one I’m decently proud of, so it kinda negates it. I originally thought I had lost this image when I reset my computer due to it being so slow, but my mom, who is always wanting to see my art, saved the full image luckily. The second image is all I used to have, cropped from one of my old socials.

Anyways yeah, maid dude.

I can only draw humans pretty much sooo :P

I wanted to practice a pose that looked more fluid and less meh. I imagine she’s about to go out of the elevator onto the floor and do some machines in this drawing lol.

These were doodles that I rendered (barely) without doing proper lineart cause I’m lazy like that lol. I couldn’t choose which version I liked more so I’m posting both.

Have a great day :>

My artstyle (and username) has changed a bit since I drew this in February(?), but I still do like the rendering a bit. I would change the hair and some lineart choices, and fix the facial structure. But then again I’m my worst critic as my mom says. The colors ended up more saturated in the pictures I took with my phone. But my art tablet displays more colors than my phone screen does I’m sure. Anyways I hope you all like it.

I am very poor, and most of these things have been bought for very cheap at thrift stores, whenever I get more money eventually though, I am going to be buying much more pony merch to make my room a haven 😁 I love mlp so much it makes me so happy!

The Ty beanie babies my mom found at our local thrift shop, they like me and tend to save mlp stuff for me since they know it’s one of my hyperfixations. We got a 7 ty plushies, 5 out of 7 having ther original tags I believe! And then 2 hasbro ones. The hair wasn’t knotted at all and was in really good condition! We got them all for about $5! On eBay I saw all 6 being listed for $124 so I think I lucked out!

The cards are one of my proudest collectables from 2022, as I pulled a really special twilight card when she got her wings in “Magical Mystery Cure”. And it features some of my favorite episodes! Like “Luna Eclipsed”, “Griffon the Brush Off” and also “Boast Busters”. I also pulled some song cards from one of the packs, “Smile!” My favorite!!! >D< 💕 and I really like “Find a Pet” too!

I plan on adding many more things to my collection, and many more plushies!

She’s all tuckered out now lol. 😹

I’ll let you guess which photos of her I’m talking about 😂

owner of the pc in the image!

EDIT: hello!! Thank you all for your help! I’ve learned much more about PCs thanks to your help! I’ve gotten a better idea of what I want and how to do things. All of the recommendations are very much appreciated! I had no idea how overkill I went until I did a little research… and got told by like everyone LOL. But again thanks so so much you guys are the sweetest! Have a great day and God bless you! If you don’t believe still have a great day regardless lol. 😊

Budget: $3300

Hi! So I know pretty much nothing about computers. The things I do know is that they’re super pretty and really cool and that I’ve always wanted one. I managed to finally do some research and find parts that are (supposedly) compatible. However, I don’t know how well it will work. I will give a list of games I’m going to be playing as well, and things I will be doing on this pc! I’ll also list some questions that I’d like answered at the bottom of the post. I’m not much of a super hardcore gamer despite playing them my whole life, but I love the aesthetic and how future proof a pc can be when done right.

Games I’ll be playing:
EDIT: Forgot to add genshin impact and other games like that, always wanted to play those but I’ve only ever owned a laptop.
Roblox
Minecraft (medium (rarely heavy) modding and shaders)
Spore
Idk if you can get black ops zombies 2 on a PC or if that’s a console only game, but if I can I’d probably play that as well.

( It’s not many but most of my games I play are on my switch lol. )

Things I’ll be doing:
Gaming
Drawing (I use clip studio paint and a huion graphics tablet, might buy photoshop too)
Animating
Journaling
Watching YouTube and Twitch
Chatting on Discord while playing games (reason for the high ram, I’m a multitasker)

The aesthetic of my computer is just pure white pretty much lol. I’ll show a picture of what I’m aiming for this to look like. I know it won’t look exactly like it though. Any recommendations and suggestions would probably have to be dumbed down a lot because again, I’m a beginner and know nothing about computer language or any abbreviations. Apologies for any stupid mistakes on my end or any dumb questions!! Hope you all have an amazing day. God bless!

Questions! Feel free to answer as many as you want, or none if you don’t feel like it!:

-How do I actually install windows onto this? Is it really hard?
-Would 8 fans be enough? (2 exhaust, 6 normal ones)
Should the exhaust fans be on the top or the side?
-Do I need a dust cover for any of these? as I have a ragdoll cat that sheds like crazy. If so where would I put these? On the fans? even the exhaust?
-Can I put an anime figurine in here, like a noodle stopper one? Would it melt or mess anything up?
-Will the kraken cpu cooler thingie actually display a picture/gif or do I need a separate display?
-Do the cpu coolers count as fans?
-What is the “refresh rate” on this? I have a 165hz 34”monitor I’m going to be using.
-Should I connect this with a hdmi cable or a display cable?

Will these two pink ones ever fade like the others? I’ve kinda given up on it. I’ve never had ones like this, even the ones on my legs have faded.

These are the only cuts to have required staples, so I’m not sure if having them stapled shut made them do this? I didn’t even want the things. They had me sedated to get them (bonus tetanus shot included!) because I was having an episode outside a Walgreens when I attempted and was apparently insisting to have them open, but since I was losing blood and my fat was poking outta my arm, they of course denied it. Maybe if I didn’t get them they’d be faded by now :T

Idk I’m just curious. If anybody else has had staples and they faded lemme know how long cause I’m getting concerned it never will. Also is it normal to have no sensation over the pink part?? like it’s completely numb.
