hi i'm gale. my neos are shell/whirl/water/ocean/sea/sand/wind/gem but they/it is fine !!!! i like to draw and make posts that never breach containment (not once). this is my main blog so anyone we (collective) follow will see this.

( @minecraftcherrywoodrobot -> co-host leucas. is The minecraft/life series/hermitcraft/isat enjoyer. if your blog contains these and i followed you, it was not me, but th3m. follow h1m instead.

@surfinjeremy -> fnaf fictive and former host who used to own this account. he'll post here from time to time

@marine-paint -> art sideblog. it's currently being overtaken by my current fixation

@whale-fallin -> marine biology side blog that i rarely touch nowadays because im fatigued

@buddy-sys -> collective system blog because there's too many of us)

@noelleeeeholidaiz -> deltarune containment blog

my tags:

- #gale doesn't stop talking: just my tag to talk about stuff that's not fandom related

- #gale can't answer asks right / #gale answers asks: tag used whenever i answer asks. the older one is kept as an archive of previous asks because i'm too fatigued to change all of them to the new one.

- #THE LORE/#LORELEVANT: these are tags used that's tied to the bit/complex storyline between me and a group of other people. the lore is specifically for the actual story and lorelevant is just anything related to it but not In The Story y'know

- #deep ocean blue: tag used for posts that have the vast tma kind of vibe. more particularly the deep ocean part

- #qpr tag: these are posts related to my queerplatonic relationship with my partner moth :] i will probably tag anything related to them in particular or posts about loving robots and computers, because that's something i heavily associate with him

- #mental illness trials: this one is mainly just motivational mental health stuff that i will compile because i am not in therapy but i'm actively trying to recover

- #yours truly :3: this started off as a tag where i reblogged stuff that reminded me of myself but quickly evolved into my sealkin tag. i am therian, so sue me

- #advice tag / #resources / #art advice: these are my advices tags that have links and other helpful resources that i or even you might need. the art advice tag is more of its separate thing so for everything else, consult these two tags.

- #music to my ears: this is my music tag where i'll put music recommendations or anything music related that i think sounds nice

click the read more for any questions you may have that i will gladly answer.

“Appeal to a wider audience” is corporate lingo for “strip more themes from a piece of media so it’s safer and more sanitized for investors”

I struck a nerve in the billionaire fandom with this one

Okay but this is actually one of the most useful things you learn in creative writing workshops! Namely: Not all of the feedback you get is going to be useful! In fact, most of it isn’t! What you’re looking for are the people who vibe with your work and understand what you’re going for. Those are the people who can help you make your work better! But if you try to please everyone? Then you’re stripping out what makes your story uniquely yours. You’re stripping out what’s going to challenge and resonate with your audience. So don’t ever try to appeal to a wider audience! If you want those diehard fans who are going to follow your catalogue, let your work be weird. Lean into what you love about it. That’s what’s going to stick with your audience at the end of the day.

honestly i like krusie as a ship However ☝🏻 i prefer them as like a qpr or fully platonic. this is because im a #arokris truther and also it would fit in with the themes of amatonormativity and trying to break those bounds especially in chapter two. whats more in lines with the themes of deltarune as a story than a character who is bound by the chains of romance slowly creeping in from the shadows (normal route with ralsei and snowgrave route with noelle) actively prioritizing and favoring a platonic relationship with someone who's entire motif is not listening to the rules and breaking the norm

wow! your understanding of this character is so. . . Unique! just wondering by the way but when was the last time you directly interacted with the source media

respectfully to everyone whos been like Well have you considered idc about the source media and im doing whatever i want with my little blorbos <3 like... you know thats allowed right. like thats fine. i am not condemning you. But you have to accept the fact that nobody has that context besides you unless you put that disclaimer on everything you make. and youre not gonna do that. so if i go into a character tag and see someone call the character, who is canonically a cat, a dog with no extra explanation with their whole chest, i am not going to go Ohhh haha theyre just playing dolls! i am going to go Just wondering by the way but when was the last time you directly interacted with the source media

#this is why i research so thoroughly!! i like having a firm grasp on canon

While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.

Here it is again with text for anyone who can’t see the picture

  • That thought isn’t helpful right now.
  • Now is not the time to think about it. I can think about it later.
  • This is irrational. I’m going to let it go.
  • I won’t argue with an irrational thought.
  • This is not an emergency. I can slow down and think clearly about what I need.
  • This feels threatening and urgent, but it really isn’t.
  • I don’t have to be perfect to be OK.
  • I don’t have to figure out this question. The best thing to do is just drop it.
  • It’s OK to make mistakes.
  • I already know from my past experiences that these fears are irrational.
  • I have to take risks in order to be free. I’m willing to take this risk.
  • It’s OK that I just had that thought/image, and it doesn’t mean anything. I don’t have to pay attention to it.
  • I’m ready to move on now.
  • I can handle being wrong.
  • I don’t have to suffer like this. I deserve to feel comfortable.
  • That’s not my responsibility.
  • That’s not my problem.
  • I’ve done the best I can.
  • It’s good practice to let go of this worry. I want to practice.
