A lot of ppl think that “love” is enough to raise a happy child and that’s not true. It also requires emotional maturity and financial stability but they don’t like hearing that because it changes their idea of a miracle that happens to them into a conscious decision that requires personal responsibility.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

I like how in Mario Sunshine Mario gets arrested despite having an alibi corroborated by upwards of six different people (his being on a fucking plane/out of the country for nearly every crime he was being tried for), tried but not permitted a defense lawyer or any testimony to be given in his favor, and convicted based solely on crude eye witness testimony which didn’t even match his description (the illustration is literally blue, just like the actual Shadow Mario).  Then within minutes of his sentencing, the actual perpetrator strikes again in broad daylight in front of even more witnesses, and attempts to kidnap someone, only to be stopped by Mario, but Mario is nonetheless still held responsible and held to the task of carrying out his sentence?

oranges as intimacy, intimacy as romance, and romance as sensuality.
