#I have only rage in my heart

[absolutelybifurious]

every time I see the maddie/buck scene from 7x04 where buck says “I don’t know” about wanting to hurt Eddie and think about the fact that there’s a world where they write it like he was just that obsessed with this random guy he met 3 weeks ago that he wanted to PHYSICALLY HURT his best friend over it, I start plotting ways to destroy television as a fucking concept

like it’s shitty of him either way, it’s unacceptable on all levels but. in the world where it was just about You Know Who, andrew meyers, tim minear, whoever the fuck else, lock your DOORS motherfuckers

sorry that i've deprived you all of a wip preview, anyway; deity-fies your local bad future mystic magic nuke

its a really big bummer to see the mass success of bg3, to see how many artists and players alike have enjoyed this game and yet, somehow, almost every time, wyll is magically not mentioned or drawn, featured in a video, hes not adored or hated

so far the fandom just generally acts like hes not even there. and it makes me sad to see the single black companion get this level of people ignoring him, his arc, his personality, even just people disliking or hating him

instead the only thing that caught any wind was how quickly a mod came out to make wyll white. how fucking sad.

Filled with incandescent rage since I said "OK I'll FINALLY wade into the Ao3 Shadowzel tag" only for the first fic to be Tav/Astarion with "Shadowheart and Lae'zel are teased toward the end of the (80k) fic" DON'T TAG THEM THEN. DON'T TAG THEM. D O N` T!!!! Tag the characters but not the relationship JESUS CHRIST

[maythedreadwolftakeyou]

played the "remember who you are" ending for the first time instead of the "embrace your anger" one for the Lace Harding plotlines and im so mad i want to kick a chair over. much like Lace Harding might if she wasnt still punished for being angry by the game.

[aropride]

is anyone else using alcohol as a painkiller or is it just me and house out here

[starfish-comics]

This bitch actually let me hug her and I nearly hyperventilated. The growth of her and Artemisia's relationship has honestly been one of my favorite parts of this game.

[keebwee]

life is so hard i just wanna bullshit write a fic to get out my sickness frustration but that same sickness is making me UNABLE TO !!!!!!!!

Retrospectively it's really funny that dream drop wasn't Sora having adventures during the Big Year Nap while everyone else was experiencing 358/2 Days drama.

also unrelated but i think miguel is kind. i don’t think he’s nice he’s kind of a rage-fueled shithead. but he is KIND. he lets gwen onboard in less than ten seconds. he catches mayday in his arms - he lets mayday hang around ! he rolls his eyes at hobie but nothing-more-nothing-less even though hobie is the instigator of all time ♡ (lov him…) he tells miles about his own mistakes first…i think miguel is a kind man he is a man fueled by good, but i think any and all kindness he had was invested into trying to save the universe at large which is too big a task for any one person so to balance the amount of effort it is taking to devote himself to protecting the existence of reality itself…he’s kind of the worlds biggest asshole. personally i believe a little more time spent with baby mayday and a few hours every week in spider-therapy would do WONDERS but that’s just me 🤷🏽‍♀️‼️

My Homestuck OCs

I'm not sure if I'll ever actually finish them (they've been months without being edited or continued, they're just... there in one of my drawing apps) so I might as well just show them to you guys :o/

Again, godtier designs by @superxstarzz <3

[the--days]

so it's like this.

you're young and you're scared and you're trapped in the feywild (happens to the best of us) with the love of your life. You're a half-elf and she's a fullblooded elf but you don't think about it very much because you're barely surviving day to day. And you get offered a deal to get yourself home again, and you take it. And the price of your freedom is that you leave her still trapped there, alone.

And then five years pass. And you age a century in that time, and you grow, and you change, and you find her again, and you're still in love, and you meet people, and you lose people, and you love them too, and you learn, and you start wanting a future again, and caring again, taking care of yourself, taking care of other people--

and after all of that, at the end of things, you find out the man responsible for all of the misery in your short, sad life has cast a spell which gives him complete control and ownership of you- mind, body, and soul (again. this happens to the best of us). And you are given the choice to stay under his thrall, and live a thousand years-- or to age and die, like humans do, and to be free of him.

And the love of your life is there, and you're married now, and she's still a full blooded elf, and you're still a half-elf, and you think about what that means a lot more than you used to.

And still, after everything you've learned-- you choose your freedom. You choose leaving her behind.

@bdkdkens , I happened to see your reply to a comic from @autball asking about what ABA is, and it doesn’t look like you have had an answer yet.

I studied ABA as part of my Community Psychology degree, and am happy to give you a rundown.

ABA = Applied Behavioral Analysis

It is a specific school of psychology with an emphasis on changing the behaviors of people - “Applied” means the focus on change (and not just accumulation of data), Behavior is obvious, and “Analysis” is an indication of the intention to be “scientific.”

On it’s own, everything in ABA is neutral to good: understanding the situations in which people do behaviors, and the forces that can either cause them to do behaviors more (reinforce) or less (punish in a very scientific sense of ‘make less desirable’).

The issue is two fold:

ABA focuses only on the observable, as part of their “scientific” obsession. I phrase it that way because the choice of “observable” means that internal thoughts, memories, etc….. If the Analysis themselves can’t prove they exist? They are literally ignored as irrelevant. If they happen to interfere with the Analyst’s work? They are actively suppressed - punished out until they stop being a “problem.” Instead of, you know, addressed as part of the individual.

This is because the most important person in the equation of ABA is the Analyst. Not the client, and not even the patient - which may be two different people, in the case of working with children. The Analyst is the be all, end all expert, and everyone else needs to acknowledge that or, well, be punished for interfering with the Analyst’s work.

Point 1 is baked into ABA; if you want to include beliefs, memories of past experiences, and even intrusive thoughts as things that influence behavior and are important, you’re going to go into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I, myself, align strongly with CBT as a therapy philosophy.

Point 2 is technically avoidable, but having studied under old-school supporters of ABA it’s almost impossible to avoid in practice.

One of my courses in college was taught by an adjunct - that is, someone who works in the field and teacher part time as a service for people entering into the field.

He was humane, reasonable, and respectful of the clients (adults with moderate to severe mental or intellectual disabilities) and teaching them life skills.

He convinced me behavioral principles worked, even in situations where explaining necessary things to people was not possible.

My other classes????

The most recent textbook actively told the students to prevent Autistic patients from stimming because it would interfere with teaching them.

The core issue with using ABA to “correct” Autistic children is the culture of ABA is that you have to force the child to act Neurotypical/Allistic, no matter the cost to the child.

(I use both NT and Allistic because an ABA will use the same principles on trauma symptoms, depression symptoms, etc.)

The goal is to either make the child act NT - explicitly to conform to the societal majority - or else at least not act Autistic and therefore bother the Allistics.

Because conforming to society - as defined by the Analyst - is the end goal of the majority of ABA

Not learning life skills - life skills are a means towards conformity - not mental health - because remember the internal mind doesn’t matter - and definitely not what the patient wants.

The patient is a problem to be fixed. To be cured, or hidden.

And that is why ABA needs to be stopped, burned to ashes, and a new field of applied behavior technicians put in its place for situations where straight CBT is not able to be applied (because I admit there are levels of mental and intellectual disability that prevent CBT from being as effective as pure Behavioralism).

Unfortunately…..

Guess what’s easiest for parents for parents of Autistic children to find, and get insurance to cover????
