Aye that's fair then. Blocklists have been found to have similar problems since they started to be a thing. I stopped using them myself because I could not trust them, but new and inexperienced people will still fall for the promises.

@maxinered Mmhmm, I agree completely, my argument was just an addition to get people to also think for a moment about what it is they're getting upset about and whether it's worth it. In my eyes it's not, it might even be beneficial, so use those tools that moo mentioned if necessary and move along with life.

@maxinered However... while that is certainly a shitty thing to do, anyone who would listen to his nonsense and blanket block a bunch of people without knowing anything about them, is that really people you'd want to interact with in the first place...? Sounds to me like they're doing us all a favour by removing themselves from our lives.

@maxinered From what I gathered without actually following it at all, the thing people were upset about was that a big name person used their platform to promote a blocklist that blanket blocks trans people, which I can certainly understand being upset by.

Also yes... it's very dangerous to give a pupper who likes to bark 500 characters to bark with... ^-^;;

What I've been up to basically is a bit of a hard reset. I've been needing to change art programs for a bit, though been scared to do so, but I am working on that now, so I picked a project to try to get comfortable with it.

What I'm working on is a bust, something big but not too big which will get me through all my usual stages. I'm quite happy with it so far too, so I hope everyone else will be too once it's done. ❤️

Did some drawing today, continuing on my experimental project. So far going well, flat colours are done, next up is shading and effects, but not sure if I do those today.

Currently sitting here looking at it, looking for possible errors while pondering whether to start now and have to pause midway or pick it up another day.

@maxinered Moo put it behind content warnings, so it's fine. ❤️

@maxinered That's okay too. Do what you feel it is you need, when you need it.

@maxinered @Ulfra_Wolfe Definitely, all emotions are valid and have importance, the trouble is when they go unchecked, which is especially a risk with the negative ones as they will control you if you don't control them.

Still, I do not want anger, not anymore. Sure it can serve a purpose, but I am personally better off without it.

@maxinered For the longest time I didn't either, I thought myself an emotionless husk, but then something happened and I was proven wrong. I cried, good tears and it was such a relief that I couldn't stop. I cried for hours.

Still though, HRT is what really brings the tears. You see those comics that make fun of it and they're really not wrong, even a stray thought can make me tear up.

@Ulfra_Wolfe @maxinered Anger is a poison. I was angry when I was younger, fueled by self loathing, but when I started HRT I decided "no more" and since then I haven't been angry even once.

For me I think my main concern is losing the losing the good emotions that took me so long to find, and to lose my ability to trust.

@maxinered I don't think it's as uncommon as you might expect. I do something similar, just not very often. I used to listen to Theater of Tragedy when I was down, but it stopped having much effect.

Since then I more listen to specific songs, but it's a rare thing, sometimes just because the mood strikes, other times when I am feeling bad. Two for instance is Bullet by Hollywood Undead and Skin by Sixx.A.M., the latter especially means a lot and always has me crying.

@maxinered I don't talk about it very often, but I know I've mentioned it. The reason I do not watch movies and such alone is because it is passive, it gives me too much time to think and with time to think comes time for thoughts to drift to the bad side, that's why I am pretty much always doing *something* to keep myself occupied.

Still, dark thoughts or not, emotions come in many flavours and I certainly wouldn't give up my good ones to get rid of the bad.

@maxinered Maybe multiple pins turn into temporary ones...? Not sure but mine is still pinned.

@maxinered Those images are all very important to me too. ❤️ I might be crying a little...
