Old Fans Welcoming New People To A Fandom:

Old fans welcoming new people to a fandom:

Over The Garden Wall pilot, anyone? Always amazing to stumble across beautiful source material. ~*dramaturgy*~

I’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed the resemblance... It took a little while to hit me where I’d seen the trope before though. I seriously just rewatched the movie. So many feels. 

when i first saw nick i thought of pero from metropolis.. can you see why???

drawing the bots men was fun too :V 

Hey. You.

Cutie with social anxiety AND/OR zero self esteem.

You ARE cute. I just said so. And I’m - well, never, ever wrong. So there.

And even if “cute” isn’t the yardstick by which you seek any sort of “declaration of value and/or worth” - you are VALUED. You are WORTHY. JUST FOR BEING.

No-one has to PROVE their worth/value/importance/significance. YOU ARE. JUST FOR BEING. THAT’S QUITE SUFFICIENT.

Want to go do great things? Things OTHER PEOPLE think are great? PLEASE DO. HERE. LET ME ASSIST AS NEEDED.

Don’t want to do any of that? GREAT. PLEASE DO. HERE. LET ME HANG OUT WITH YOU AND LAUGH. 

Cuz that’s ALL anyone HAS TO DO: be. Happily. Don’t let ancient religiously-inspired “work ethics” SHAME drive you into a SUICIDAL DEPRESSION.

That’s BULLSHIT. 

Be driven! IF YOU WANT. Have huge goals that make other people shake their heads in disbelief! IF YOU WANT. That’s ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.

So is NOT DOING ANY OF THAT.

And anyone who holds up a “worth” yardstick and compares the Driven with the Not Driven and finds one of them UNWORTHY is a SHITHEEL who needs to get HIT BY A BUS. Maybe a train. Eaten by a shark? 

Ended.

That comparison is awful. DESTRUCTIVE. UNHELPFUL. 

It kills people, ends love, sacrifices children on the altar of ambition.

(And it’s okay to be ambitious - as long as you WANT to be, and don’t feel like you MUST BE in order to satisfy someone else’s DEMANDS.)

I worry about you guys sometimes. Like, a lot. I’ve reached my Quent Crisp-oid zen of “style”. It’s taken 47 years and several suicide attempts, as well as the loss of love, friends, and family. 

I choose not to suffer any of those pains anymore. And I choose my SELF over anyone else’s DEMANDS. IF that dissatisfies them, THAT’S THEIR PROBLEM NOT MINE.

This course of life is MUCH HARDER when you’re younger - I very clearly remember this struggle. But any way I can HELP, I will.

Do you perform? I will come watch and applaud.

Do you write? I will read and enjoy.

Do you sit and “be”? I will sit near you with a book and some tea. 

It’s all the same with me.

Never thought I’d find a connection between Bedknobs and Broomsticks and Fallout. Well played, Tumblr, well played.

*Imagines Sole somehow animating suits of all types of raider and supermutant armor and full sets of power armor to go take over the Institute while the synths and their advanced security can’t detect shit because there are no life signs, and can’t destroy them because they just keep going*  *we wreck shop and use the Institute tech for good rather than blowing it up*  *headcanons ahoy matey*
