Unfortunately, I have bad news. My disability money that I receive because of my Level 2 Autism, my main income, has not come in this month due to a bureaucratic mess-up that is going to take too long to be solved and may also not come in next month. (I am in Germany btw, and it is not just a stereotype that bureaucracy here is horrible and just... hellacious)

Coinciding with that, my parents have stopped supporting me financially thinking that the money that the state gives me now is way more than I deserve and that I am somehow living "the rich life" with that... I get this money because I cannot work a job. If you could work a job in Germany, they would absolutely make you, but they have ruled that out for me now completely. The money one does get as a severely disabled person is not more than what a non-disabled unemployed person gets (a fact that is unethical and immoral in my opinion but that as a sidenote) We have special needs, for example, I need meal replacements due to my autism which I am also working on having covered by insurance, but again, it is taking forever.

To make it through this month after having paid my rent, I will need some other financial support. I do have some of my Jellycats up for sale on my Ebay and may put up more (shipping outside of the EU is not an option for me, sorry) but I would appreciate it more if this post was shared so I might receive some emergency Ko-fi donations.

I would not be writing this here if it wasn't an emergency. This blog is about Jellycats and the autistic boy that loves them and sharing them with the world. It is making me uncomfortable to post this in my safe space which is why I will delete this post after the end of the month. But for now, I am desperate and do not know where else to turn to.

(I will continue to be posting on my blog as usual, that is not changing, although please understand that I am under a lot of stress right now and the frequency might be less this month)

Thank you for reading, for sharing and for your support, whether financial or emotional, it is greatly appreciated.

Happy Autism Acceptance Month💖

Show ask meme: Gossip Girl and Degrassi Next Class. 💓💓💓💓

💙❤️💙❤️

Gossip Girl:

Top 5 Episodes? (I’m going to answer the episode questions with only season 1 and the beginning of season 2 in mind since it’s been so many years since I’ve rewatched anything else) Pilot, The Wild Brunch, Bad News Blair, The Handmaiden’s Tale & Blair Waldorf Must Pie

Bottom 5 Episodes? Victor/Victrola, The Thin Line Between Chuck and Nate, All About My Brother, The Dark Night & The Ex Files

Top 5 Characters? Nate, Jenny, Blair, Eric & Serena or Dan (depending on the episode)

Bottom 5 Characters? Chuck, Catherine, Asher, Nate’s parents (I’m counting them as one) & Chuck again since I can’t think of a fifth character

Top 5 Romantic Ships? Dair, Serenate, Nate/Jenny, Nair & Eric/Jonathan

Bottom 5 Romantic Ships? Chair, Derena, Asher/Eric & Jenny, Chuck/anyone & Nate/Catherine

Top 5 Platonic Ships? Blair/Serena, Dan/Nate, Jenny/Eric, Jenny/Dan/Rufus & Serena/Eric

Bottom 5 Platonic Ships? Chuck/Serena, Chuck/Nate, Nate/his parents, Chuck/Bart (more for Bart’s sake and resenting a so far decent character being used as an explanation and a way to justify Chuck being a shitty human being) & Nate/Blair/Serena/Chuck (not the first three, just Chuck’s inclusion) 

Season Ranking? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (I’ve only seen parts of 4 and 5)

Character You Relate To The Most? Vanessa or Eric

Character That Inspires You? Jenny

Character You Can’t Understand? Chuck

Best Written Character? I’m not prepared to say any of the characters are well written since I remember how badly all of them were screwed over in later seasons. But Eric seemed to be the most consistent. 

Worst Written Character? I guess Chuck? He’s my go-to for some of these questions because everything about him takes me out of the show and makes me feel the need to go off on countless rants. He never had to be a serial date rapist. He never had to force himself on two main characters in the first episode of the show. He never had to  be creepy and possessive over his love interest. And that’s barely scratching the surface. From what I remember, there was never any attempt to truly have this character express remorse for any of his worst actions. The only time he seemed to care is when something or someone cost him Blair. The fact he was supposed to be rootable and one half of the OTP of the show makes it even worse. I understand. 2008 was a different time and back then television had different standards. But knowing everything I know now about rape culture, consent, boundaries, etc, it’s not possible for me to stomach the character. 

Most Cliched Character? All of them to an extent, but Serena or Blair

Most Unusual Character? N/A

Most Inspired Storyline? Dan and Blair growing closer and eventually dating. Maybe it wasn’t the most unique thing to ever happen but it definitely breathed life into the show during later seasons. 

Favorite Hero? Nate

Favorite Villain? Georgina

Best Person? Eric

Most Influential Character? N/A

Most Manipulative Character? Chuck, with Blair as a really distant second

Best Performance in an Episode? Blake Lively in Woman on the Verge

Most Visually Stunning Episode? None of them stand out because basically every episode is well lit and has a nice setting 

Most Impressive Special Effects? N/A

Character with the Best Aesthetics? Blair

Favorite Song? New York City - Among Savages

Best Writer? Joshua Safran

Favorite Theme? N/A

5 Words You Associate _____ With? Problematic, fashionable, backstabbing, drama & disappointing

Degrassi Next Class:

Top 5 Episodes? #ImSleep, #IRegretNothing, #KThxBye, #BreakTheInternet & #Fire

Bottom 5 Episodes? #ThisCouldBeUsButYouPlayin, #ToMyFutureSelf, #TheseAreMyConfessions, #SquadGoals & #ILookLikeA

Top 5 Characters? Zig, Maya, Zoe, Tiny & Grace

Bottom 5 Characters? Hunter, Vijay, Winston, Baaz & Jonah

Top 5 Romantic Ships? Zaya, Triles, Gracevas, Zasha & Shiny

Bottom 5 Romantic Ships? Yunter, Mola, Fronah, Tristan/Vijay & Zig/Esme/Frankie 

Top 5 Platonic Ships? Zig/Maya/Tiny/Grace, Zoe/Tristan, Lola/Yael, Goldi/Rasha & Miles/Zoe

Bottom 5 Platonic Ships? Miles/Winston, Hunter/Baaz/Vijay/Yael/Lola, Maya/Zoe (Their dynamic had tons of potential and the rivalry should have ended after season 13. But Next Class ruined all that and there was never anything done to repair their friendship), Shay/Lola (depending on the season) & Zoe/her mother

Season Ranking? 3, 4, 1, 2

Character You Relate To The Most? Maya

Character That Inspires You? Maya

Character You Can’t Understand? Vijay & Winston

Best Written Character? Maya

Worst Written Character? Grace during Next Class seasons 1 and 2

Most Cliched Character? Vijay

Most Unusual Character? Esme

Most Inspired Storyline? Maya’s arc throughout seasons 3 and 4

Favorite Hero? Maya

Favorite Villain? Esme. She’s obviously much more than a villain, but she was much more compelling to watch than Hunter or any of his friends. 

Best Person? Maya

Most Influential Character? Zoe

Most Manipulative Character? Esme

Best Performance in an Episode? Olivia Scriven in #ImSleep

Most Visually Stunning Episode? #Obsessed

Most Impressive Special Effects? N/A

Character with the Best Aesthetics? Maya. I loved her look in every season.

Favorite Song? Last Exit

Best Writer? Matt Huether & Sarah Glinski 

Favorite Theme? There was only one theme song, but NC seasons 1 and 2.

[gra-sonas]

I'm with you about the fact that your dash is empty and sad lol It really is the same for me. After I finished watching the new seasons of 911 and lone star I blacklisted everything because I need a break from everything related to that, not just because of the shows itself but also the fandom that with these seasons it was A LOT. And now after season 2 of Love, Victor, I blacklisted everything related to that as well because I hate what they did and the fandom is also fighting and I just can't. So my dash is just some posts about malex and Loki. I really hope that season 3 of rnm will not bring that much fight and tension in the fandom, though considering that, specially since s2, there has been a lot of different strong opinions (to put it nicely), I don't have highs hope. Maybe I'm cursed...maybe I should stop watching shows hahahaha (cries)

Aw, nonnie, I'm so sorry that Love, Victor S2 upset you. 😟

(Putting the rest behind a cut bc of potential LV spoilers)

I don't watch the show (mainly bc I expected them to ruin it eventually, and I'm just so fucking TIRED of queer breakups and ongoing will-they-won't-they for the sake of ~drama 😑), but I've read how S2 ended, and man, just reading it made me feel bad. Why is every damn showrunner hellbent on bullshit cliffhangers and this whole "will they ever get back together" shtick?

Why is it seemingly impossible to let queer people just be, and be happy???

Anyway, I have pretty much everything on my dash blacklisted, I just don't have the mental capacity for any other shows atm, instead, I'm just waiting for S3 to kick off, I'm ready to reblog the hell out of things, and I hope my writing mood will return from war, I miss writing these two. 🥺

As for the fighting: it's probably inevitable that discourse (or fighting) will happen, but since at least half the fandom has blocked me (and vice versa), I hope I won't notice most/any of it. :P

I have zero interest in fighting, neither in telling anyone what to think or how to interpret things, also not in anyone telling me what to think or how to interpret things 🙃

I'm here to ENJOY the new season! I'm here for the shipping and the flailing, for the Malex goodness, the Vlamburn shenanigans, and every little bit of happiness I can quench out of S3. If that's not someone else's cup of tea, fine, but it's what I'm here for, and it's what I'll post and reblog (and hopefully, WRITE!).

So, my plan is basically to LALALA I CAN'T HEAR WHAT PEOPLE ARE FIGHTING ABOUT my way through season 3. I'll stick to my tiny bubble of like-minded friends, I'll post what inspires me, and reblog what makes me happy. And I'll fiercely defend my right to do fandom that way.

I'm honestly too old for most of the BS going down in fandoms these days. I've (barely) made it through 1.5 years of a global pandemic, my mental health is still in shambles from all this mess, and I'm in dire need of some Malex goodness. And Is2g, I'll get it. *shakes cane*

LOOKING AT YOU, CHRIS, PLEASE DON'T RUIN THIS FOR ME

Sending much love your way, nonnie! I hope RNM S3 will be good, and the season will give us plenty of things to flail about! ❤️
