46,472 notesMyth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk.
This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days.Myth #2 – Introverts are shy.
Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite.Myth #3 – Introverts are rude.
Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting.Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people.
On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close friends on one hand. If you are lucky enough for an introvert to consider you a friend, you probably have a loyal ally for life. Once you have earned their respect as being a person of substance, you’re in.Myth #5 – Introverts don’t like to go out in public.
Nonsense. Introverts just don’t like to go out in public FOR AS LONG. They also like to avoid the complications that are involved in public activities. They take in data and experiences very quickly, and as a result, don’t need to be there for long to “get it.” They’re ready to go home, recharge, and process it all. In fact, recharging is absolutely crucial for Introverts.Myth #6 – Introverts always want to be alone.
Introverts are perfectly comfortable with their own thoughts. They think a lot. They daydream. They like to have problems to work on, puzzles to solve. But they can also get incredibly lonely if they don’t have anyone to share their discoveries with. They crave an authentic and sincere connection with ONE PERSON at a time.Myth #7 – Introverts are weird.
Introverts are often individualists. They don’t follow the crowd. They’d prefer to be valued for their novel ways of living. They think for themselves and because of that, they often challenge the norm. They don’t make most decisions based on what is popular or trendy.Myth #8 – Introverts are aloof nerds.
Introverts are people who primarily look inward, paying close attention to their thoughts and emotions. It’s not that they are incapable of paying attention to what is going on around them, it’s just that their inner world is much more stimulating and rewarding to them.Myth #9 – Introverts don’t know how to relax and have fun.
Introverts typically relax at home or in nature, not in busy public places. Introverts are not thrill seekers and adrenaline junkies. If there is too much talking and noise going on, they shut down. Their brains are too sensitive to the neurotransmitter called Dopamine. Introverts and Extroverts have different dominant neuro-pathways. Just look it up.Myth #10 – Introverts can fix themselves and become Extroverts.
Introverts cannot “fix themselves” and deserve respect for their natural temperament and contributions to the human race. In fact, one study (Silverman, 1986) showed that the percentage of Introverts increases with IQ.I have elements of Introvertedness.
My reason for being quiet lately. And busy with bitchy nonsense.

Wow….I just can’t, with this story. It keeps getting more and more morally disgusting.

For my wife Veronica. <3<3
it’s nothing special, but i hope you like it. there’s more than one technique, even that i like to use. i can do another if you guys are interested.
and this texture is something that i like because i have a little more control what it looks like as well as colors. but regular watercolor textures are also awesome.
i think that this technique can even be done with a mouse or touchpad. :)
very cool and worth it a try!

Just finished watching the MLP season finale.
And I absolutely adore Princess Cadance. The song numbers were moving and I loved the amount of character development that went into her. She was not just some cutout mary sue they threw in for the finale, but a down to earth, loving and very determined pony.
This piece will pay homage to the scene I loved the most, when she and Twilight are escaping the underground mine. Cadance is desperately consumed with saving Shining armor, and it is written all over her body, and face as she sings for her love.
It was here that I appreciated and could like her character the most.

Thanks to everyone’s support, the CQ Kickstarter has surpassed its goal, raising over $20,000 in its first day! I can’t possibly express how grateful and excited I am, so please accept this little thank-you image for now.
I really gotta commend Gigideegee on this. This kickstarter raising such an incredible amount in ONE day is not only a testament to her as an artist, but also to all of her fans.
A little while ago, I was worried that people on the internet just didn’t give a shit about original content produced by “the little” guy anymore; that it was all about parodies and tributes to stuff made by bigger companies. My Little Pony, Skyrim, Minecraft, Pokemon Red & Blue (for…some reason, out of nowhere) and the like. Then I was even wondering, “do they even like the original things at ALL anymore, or is it all about the stuff making fun of/paying tribute to them”. It was really confusing…and a little disheartening.
Then this happened. Not only did people, of their own volition, push the fundraiser goal to well over TWICE the number it asked for…but I realized, this is also content that’s already for free, online. People DIDN’T have to pay a cent…and they DID! Out of the goodness of people’s hearts, their loyalty and support towards an original piece of artwork NOT made by a giant company with millions backing it, they were willing to spend money in order then subsequently pay MORE money to own a physical copy something that’s technically already free to have on the internet. That is absolutely incredible.
It fills me with hope that people willingly do stuff like this. Gigi and her work deserve it and I think that everyone who donated should be extremely proud of themselves for such an amazing feat. If anything, I hope there are more cases like this in the future, because this is just mind-blowing.
This is incredible! I’m so happy for ggdg and awe struck by the generosity of the fans that love her original story as much as I do. As a fellow artist, this not only motivates me to improve on my own stories and skills, but it shows in an enormous way that when people love your art, they look out for you.

Agree with the explanation above! All the princesses fought for something that wasn’t completely centered around the prince.AND EXCEPT MULAN FOUGHT FOR HER COUNTRY, NOT A BOY.
right… but she fought and that’s the important thing here… be bad-ass!
Um. Let’s go in order here. Belle is crying because she gave up her life to protect her father. She could have married Gaston and let him be her Prince Charming because all it required was “waiting around” but she didn’t. She would have spent the rest of her life in a tower to protect her father, and get him out of the beasts castle. If you were a prisoner, especially to a horrible, scary, huge, disgusting beast, you’d be crying too.
Ariel? She was crying because she felt like she wasn’t good enough for her father. She was a bit odd and liked collecting things. And sure, one of those “things” happened to be the prince, but she was an outcast to the rest of her family. That’d make you cry, too.
Now, Jasmine, if you do recall, was being forced to marry Jafar when she wanted nothing more than to see the world beyond the palace walls. That’s not “waiting for prince charming” - she didn’t want to get married, but she also knew she wasn’t going to let herself be forced into it by a power-hungry sorcerer.
Aurora is crying because, genius, she just found out her entire life is a lie. And sure, she just found out she’s a princess, but wouldn’t that be a lot to find out on your sixteenth birthday? Not only did she just meet the first man she’s ever laid eyes on, but she was taken from her home, under the cover of night, and put into a completely new life. That’d be enough to make you cry.
Cinderella was deprived of everything her entire life, and forced into slavery by her own stepmother. The one night she does something for herself, takes a chance, it becomes a disaster. She’s sure she’ll be found out. She didn’t wait for prince charming, she was trying to live a life she knew she deserved.
And what the hell? How can you say Mulan did it right when she’s crossed out in the first picture herself? Moral of the story… Just because you cry, just because you hurt, just because you are a girl and are experiencing emotions, doesn’t mean it’s because of a boy. Think before you speak.
^ had to reblog this for the above. Awesome.
thank you
