I just feel like stuck. Every day is the same and I'm just existing not living.

You've absolutely got to love how my mother's supposed good intentions die the second you don't go along with her little happy families script:

*Comes into my room without knocking*

"I don't want us to be angry at each other 🥺"

Me, utterly fed up with this routine of her verbally abusing me and coming in with a non apology several hours later: "What "us"? I told you you've been ignoring me and that I have some really severe issues going on, you ignored those issues again and yelled at me for supposedly treating you like shit, I quite possibly broke my hand and you yelled more because what if I'd broken the door, and I've been crying for 4 hours without you checking in on me despite knowing I'm injured and on red alert (a term my therapists use when my chronic suicidal ideation becomes unmanageable by myself)"

"WELL MESSAGE RECEIVED LOUD AND CLEAR 😡 SILLY ME, THINKING YOU WANTED TO FIX ANYTHING 😡 YOU'RE NOT CRYING ANYMORE SO GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE BETTER!!!" *slams door*

It would be funny if it wasn't so fucking infuriating. Ought to have shown her my back and just really rub it in, the way she says I do

Just watched the banned Moon Girl episode.

>the episode addresses the topic of trans kids in sports >the entire episode is about how bigots will always move the goalpost, and playing by their rules is pointless >the solution is not to play their game and break the rules >it also states that trans people should never feel like a burden >the character Brooklyn is explicitly stated to be trans >there is also an explicitly nonbinary character >multiple mentions of pride and depictions of pride flags, trans flags and progress flags

I'm not at all surprised this didn't get past the censors but I'm so mad that it didn't, because this could've been something really special, and the fact it was canned after being fully finished is downright painful. This episode was wonderful and I'm grateful to all the people who worked on it, and angry that their hard work was wasted. Disney did not deserve you.

Here's a link, as long as Disney doesn't take it down

Every single time that I have seen so far that they get asked about Lucius and Izzy as a couple they change their answer, they just love to jerk us on this string 😭

Con and Nathan, highlights #1

Q. What’s your favourite meal deal?

Nathan talks about how he used to eat a meal deal every day when he worked in Boots and would always have a severely overcaffeinated energy drink even though a girl he worked with claimed it gave her a second heartbeat. These days he’d choose a wrap, pop chips and a sparkling water because he’s gone all LA.

Con says nothing Nathan just said makes any sense and that he can’t answer the question because he doesn’t understand what a meal deal is. When Nathan explains it, he’s like, so it’s just lunch then??

Q. Was there potential for something to happen between Lucius and Izzy?

Con says how do you know it didn’t?

Nathan says I don’t think so, it’d just be too…. Con suggests painful? And Nathan says yes, emotionally though.

Con says Izzy would absolutely destroy Lucius, but Nathan reckons Lucius  would do the same to Izzy mentally, as Izzy would never be a match for Lucius’s ability to manipulate him and emotions. Also Lucius would get tired of Izzy always wanting to be the alpha.

Q. What play would you like to appear in together?

Con comes back straight away with The Odd Couple. Nathan suggests a serious play, then Con’s next suggestion is Bent, but says they couldn’t do Rent – Nathan’s like yeah, cos you’re way too old and Con’s like no, cos you can’t sing. Nathan talks about how Rent is great when you’re a teenager but now he’s older he just finds it annoying that the characters are so shocked and appalled by having to pay rent, cos doesn’t everybody? why are you so special? Which then spirals into him having a moment of fuck, am I a landlord/tory now?? with con sitting next to him looking dubious

It's a time-honoured tradition- every time Sam comes across Izzy (and Ed) in their travels, he asks Izzy to marry him. And every time, Izzy turns him down.

At this point, Sam is asking more for the sake of it than any belief Izzy will ever say yes, a remnant of childhood dedication touched with 30 years of heartbreak and regret- though even now, a small part of him still holds out hope. Sam's promises have only got more extravagant over the years, from a job as his first mate, to a captaincy, a fleet at his command, a whole fucking island if that's what Izzy wants- but he knows it isn't though, not really. If Izzy was ever going to agree to marry him, to leave his life and go with Sam, it wouldn't be for anything Sam could offer him. Izzy never did care for flashy shows of wealth, for a ship or to be captain. The only thing that ever mattered to him was loyalty given, and loyalty shown in return. 

It all comes to a head after Stede left and came back, after Izzy lost a toe, lost his leg. Sam hasn't seen him since before things with Ed started to really slide off the rails, before stress permanently set into the lines of Izzy’s face. So, when he sees a dishevelled man with a hoof for a leg in a no-name port, he doesn't even consider the idea that he might know him. It's only when he turns towards him, and Sam catches a glance at those oh too familiar tattoos, he realises this is Izzy, his Izzy, that stands before him.

Knowing Izzy's discomfort with pity, he doesn't treat him any differently than he would in years gone by, positioning himself in Izzy's line of sight before approaching and sweeping him up into a bone crushing hug. 

“Israel-goddamn-Hands!” he exclaims, as Izzy grumbles back a begrudging “Samuel-fucking-Bellamy”, a tradition almost as old as their friendship itself. Izzy might not hug him back, but he can’t keep the corner of his mouth from twitching, just for a second.

(If Sam holds Izzy a little tighter and a little longer than usual, well. That's his business)

By the time Sam lets go, most of the crew has appeared in the town square, drawn in by the commotion. They may have given Izzy his leg and welcomed him as one of them, but still there’s an underlying tension, with nobody quite ready to set aside everything that happened before the Kraken. Seeing him cosying up to an unknown man sets everyone on edge, unsure whether to come to their first mate’s aid, or to assume that they've been betrayed once again.

When Ed sees that the yelling was Sam, his hand goes tense where it's held in Stede's. He knows the routine, has seen it more times than he can count, but as he watches them part he realises that this is the first time in a long time he's unsure of what Izzy's response will be.

Knowing that something’s different, knowing that Izzy's feeling vulnerable already, Sam doesn't go for the same flashy proposal he’s been giving for years. He doesn't promise Izzy the world, he doesn't cause a scene (or, any more of a scene than he already has, anyway). He looks at the fractured man in front of him, takes his face in his hands, and says the exact same thing to him he said when they were little more than boys. “Israel, I have to ask you. I know what you'll say, but I have to try. Come with me. Marry me and sail away with me. I'll keep you safe”

And Izzy… hesitates. He glances over at Ed, at Stede, and says to Sam “...We’re staying in port for a week. Ask me again then”

That's the moment Sam knows there is something deeply, horribly, wrong. He's not just looking at an Izzy who got seriously injured in a fight and is struggling to cope, this is something so much bigger than that- and that Ed has something to do with it. Izzy wouldn't even be considering leaving if he didn't. Whether it was negligence or something more sinister, Sam doesn't yet know, but he intends to find out.
