There will be days ypu are told you are a monster. That you are not wanted. Yhat your type,your kind, is not welcome here. That your mere existence is an evil. That you should rid the world of yourself, talk a long walk off a tall cliff and do us all a favour.

You will be subtle side eyes and Suspicious glances. Blatant glares and tense postures. You will be told, explicitly or implied, that you are intolerable. That you are something Wrong and Other and have no place right here right now in society at work in your home.

ypu will be called a monster. Again and again and again.

And go home to make dinner afterwards

Sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is say goodbye to toxic family members.

.

Family estrangement is a misunderstood and stigmatized experience that is often exacerbated because it is poorly recognised by society.

When trauma survivors discuss their estrangement with others, they are often met with judgment, gaslighting, and sometimes even victim blaming, adding to the internalized guilt, shame and grief they are already suffering.

.

How to recognise a toxic behavior.

In a toxic family dynamic, you might feel contempt or disdain instead of love. A toxic family member might constantly mock or belittle your choices or attack your vulnerable points.

.

Toxic family behavior can look cruel, critical, abusive, belittling, controlling, and have excessive demands or show a lack of empathy or lack of respect for your boundaries, feelings, and needs. Those who lie, gossip, guilt trip, bully, gaslight, manipulate, or always make themselves out to be a victim are also exhibiting toxic behavior.

.

You may be the black sheep of the family. Black sheep are excluded because they hold different beliefs compared to their relatives or act outside of the social norm. Because black sheep are treated differently than the rest of their family members, they may often feel sad, lonely, or unworthy.

.

You may be the family scapegoat. The person who is blamed for the suffering, wrongdoings, mistakes, or faults of others, to protect the image of the family, avoid responsibility of their own actions or to unite them while abusing a precieved common enemy.

.

Family drama is inevitable and we are all toxic at some point in our life, but the difference is if their actions aren't isolated events, but rather patterns of behavior that consistently negatively impact your life.

First day of Pride and I just want to shine a light on all the trans people who are unable to transition, especially those who aren’t fresh faced university grads. Those who don’t live in a supportive or even just accepting home or community. Those who aren’t well off, those who aren’t good at or popular enough to crowd fund. Those who can’t afford transitioning. Those who can’t even transition socially or need to stay in the closet for your safety. Those who rely on benefits or unforgiving jobs to just pay the bills. Having to hear day in and day out you’re just GNC, that your pre-transition body is “ugly” and the ways you can express your gender are “cringe.” Every trans person who’s been told they aren’t “trying hard enough”. Those trans people who won’t even get to imagine transitioning for years.

I see you. I love you. You’re so undervalued and under appreciated in a world where being a white, well off 20 year old on HRT and getting surgery is more common to see than people who work full time and just don’t have that privilege. It sucks, so much. But you are loved and you are seen.

Happy Pride Month to trans people who aren’t where they want to be. The world is better with you in it. We all need each other.

i am so genuinely sick and tired of the way bisexual women are being treated in queer spaces nowadays.

statistically, bisexual women are at a higher danger of things like rape, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, stalking, etc. than anyone else when grouped by sexuality. yes this includes heterosexual women, yes this includes lesbians, yes this includes gay men. but the rest of the community as a whole seems to delight in stereotyping them as predators, accomplices to predators or undeserving of support just because of their identity. because people care more about the strawman of "bisexual woman with a boyfriend" than giving real people who are at a statistic vulnerability to actual violence a support network.

I'm once again thinking about the missed opportunities to have Klaus and Kol bond more. Part of Klaus' whole motivation as a vampire is to get his werewolf part back and to finally be stronger than Mikael (sort of, I'm simplifying) both of which can be obtained by breaking his curse. But Kol? Kol is the only other original that can relate to having a fundamental part of themself ripped away from them. Klaus might not have known he was a werewolf until he killed, but he likely still had a connection he couldn't explain, as evident by him going to watch the wolves transform. And something he'd never been able to explain was now gone. He might only be able to realise the connection afterwards through its absence.

Kol though. Kol had grown up with magic, a connection to nature and the world around him in a way the rest of his siblings supposedly didn't have. And then he gets turned. And not only has his baby brother died, his father has just murdered him and the rest of his siblings after forcing them to drink human blood, which he'll later learn. Now, not only does he have to deal with the grief of Henrik's death and also his own but also the loss of his magic. A loss that's likely only worsened by Kol being a self-proclaimed child prodigy.

Kol is pretty much the only one who could understand what Klaus is going through with the binding of his wolf. We know Kol searched for ways to get his magic back/carry on practicing magic in the same way that Klaus was looking for ways to break his curse. While Klaus likely could still feel his wolf there despite being bound, Kol has no access to his magic anymore. I just think they should've been able to bond or connect over their shared loss of an intrinsic aspect of their selves at the hands of their parents

So does the general russian/soviet sherlock holmes segment not have any meta posts because nobody is bothering with it or because there is nothing to discuss at all
