Why Fit In When You Were Born to Stand Out: A Guide to Celebrating Individuality

"Why Fit In When You Were Born To Stand Out" is a powerful affirmation of individuality and self-expression. This phrase encourages people to embrace their unique qualities rather than conforming to societal expectations or norms.

The statement recognizes that each person possesses distinct traits, talents, and perspectives that make them special. It suggests that these differences are not flaws to be hidden, but rather strengths to be celebrated and shared with the world.

Standing out can take many forms. It might mean pursuing unconventional dreams, expressing oneself through unique style choices, or simply being true to one's beliefs and values, even when they differ from the majority.

This philosophy challenges the often deeply ingrained desire to blend in and avoid drawing attention. Instead, it promotes the idea that our differences can be our greatest assets, driving innovation, creativity, and positive change in society.

However, it's important to note that standing out doesn't necessarily mean being loud or attention-seeking. It can be as subtle as quietly pursuing one's passions or gently advocating for one's principles.

Ultimately, this motto inspires self-confidence, authenticity, and the courage to live life on one's own terms. It encourages individuals to recognize their inherent worth and to contribute their unique perspectives to the world.

The autism puzzle piece is a widely recognized symbol associated with autism awareness. Introduced in 1963 by the National Autistic Society in London, it was intended to represent the complexity of autism and the diversity of individuals on the spectrum.

However, this symbol has become controversial within the autism community. While some view it positively as representing the intricacy of autism and hope for understanding, many autistic individuals and advocates criticize it. They argue that it implies autistic people are incomplete or need to be "solved," which they find offensive.

As a result, alternative symbols have gained popularity, such as the rainbow infinity symbol representing neurodiversity. This ongoing debate highlights the importance of listening to autistic voices in discussions about autism representation and awareness.

The puzzle piece remains widely used but continues to spark important conversations about autism acceptance and understanding.

An "Autism Mom Quote" typically refers to inspirational or empathetic statements shared by mothers of autistic children. These quotes often express love, acceptance, and the unique joys and challenges of raising an autistic child. They may highlight the mother's journey of understanding, advocating for their child, or

celebrating neurodiversity. Some quotes focus on educating others about autism, while others offer support to fellow autism parents. However, it's important to note that these quotes should respect autistic individuals' perspectives and avoid harmful stereotypes or martyr narratives.

Fox: One time I was really hopped-up on painkillers. I snuck out from the medbay to go to work. I kissed a Senator's wife and to make sure he wasn't mad about it I kissed him too...I blacked out and woke up to a text in a groupchat with both of them that said "did you make it home safe baby? ❤"

Fox: Anyway we're married now

one of my favourite aspects of supernatural that you very rarely see in paranormal shows is that sam and dean are already versed in the world they live in. there’s no sudden discovery of ghosts and demons and now they have to learn about them along with the audience; they are born into it and already know all about it. it allows the audience to follow their personal story instead of also trying to figure out this new world and its rules

the first season is full of knowledge we never see them learn; “w*ndigoes are in the minnesota woods or- or northern michigan. i’ve never even heard of one this far west.” […] “great. well then this [his gun] is useless.” (1x02), “you don’t break a curse. you get the hell out of its way.” (1x08), d: “it’s a god. a pagan god, anyway.” […] “the annual cycle of its killings? and the fact that the victims are always a man and a woman. like some kind of fertility right.” […] s: “the last meal. given to sacrificial victims. d: “yeah, i’m thinking a ritual sacrifice to appease some pagan god.” (1x11)

almost every episode in the first season is a monster they’ve faced before that they then explain to the audience in a way that should feel patronising; like it’s the same speech given over and over again but instead, the audience almost feels included in the knowledge. it’s stated with such an innate confidence and comfort in said knowledge that it feels like we already knew it too; “spirits and demons don't have to unlock doors. if they want inside, they just go through the walls.” […] “the claws, the speed that it moves; could be a skinwalker, maybe a black dog.” (1x02), “it's biblical numerology. you know noah's ark, it rained for forty days. the number means death.” (1x04), “no no no, not the reaper, a reaper. there's reaper lore in pretty much every culture on earth, it goes by 100 different names.” […] “you said it yourself that the clock stopped, right? reapers stop time. and you can only see 'em when they're coming at you which is why i could see it and you couldn't.” (1x12)

they already know and, at least in the first season, already have what they need to kill whatever they’re hunting; already know to salt and burn bones for spirits, fire for a w*ndigo, exorcisms for demons, a silver bullet to the heart for shapeshifters. there’s only three times in the entire first season that they run into something new to them; 1x14 when sam gets his first vision that leads him to another psychic, 1x16 when dean calls caleb for help on the sigil he put together and he tells him about daevas, and 1x20 when they find out vampires are real- and they only don’t know that bc john thought they were hunted to extinction and not worth mentioning

(there’s also technically two half instances if you count one of them knowing something the other doesn’t - sam figuring out the tulpa in 1x17 and dean already knowing about the shtriga in 1x18 - but those still rely on sam and dean having prior knowledge)

even when they’re uncertain about facing something, it’s not bc they don’t know what it is; it’s precisely bc they know what it is and acknowledge that it’ll be a difficult hunt (“i don't know, man. this isn't our normal gig. i mean, demons, they don't want anything, just death and destruction for its own sake. this is big. and i wish dad was here.” 1x04)

so much of the tension in paranormal shows typically comes from the main character(s) not knowing what is happening to them/the people around them and having to find out how to resolve it. supernatural is unique in that it operates more like a police procedural. the tension comes from solving the clues and identifying patterns to figure out who (what) the killer is and intercepting before they can take another victim

it’s such a different tone to go for when compared to other shows that came both before, during, and after its run. it sets sam and dean on even footing with each other since they both have the same knowledge going in, and it puts them in a place of authority usually reserved for an outside character

the shows i compare spn to most is charmed, buffy and teen wolf; every main character in those shows are brought into the paranormal world knowing nothing, putting them on the same level as the audience, and they have their mc interact with others already knowledgeable about that world in order to overcome their problem/monster of the week. the audience organically learns about this new world as the characters learn about it. it’s a sound writing strategy that prevents “as we already know”-style exposition but something that complicates it is if your world building isn’t unique or intriguing enough, this slow introduction can become boring

we’ve seen shows like these before; sitting through the same tropes of characters learning to use their powers, struggling with no longer feeling normal/relating to the regular world around them, and not knowing how much they can trust the people already involved in this new world gets repetitive. all three shows eventually reach the same level of comfort with their new world that spn starts with but if the characters aren’t enough to draw you in, you can end up dropping it before they reach that point (and often, before the overarching plot can really kick in and evolve the show beyond the villain of the week format)

it’s the superhero origin movie in tv format; dragged out and overplayed. dropping the audience into an established world of course comes with its own problems but you also have the benefit of pre-existing established character dynamics that let the audience slot in like they’ve always been there instead of just getting to know all the characters while the characters also get to know each other

sam and dean already knowing about the supernatural lets the audience immediately get to the core of the story; the conflict between sam and dean, the search for their father, and the mystery of what killed their mother

If Adar had tried to flirt his way into defeating Sauron instead of besieging Eregion

Adar, looking at Celebrimbor: Your forge is grander and better equipped than any of Fëanor's have ever been. In see in you all of his greatness and talent but few of his flaws. And your smile is warmer than any fire and lights up any room-

Annatar, jaw twitching: Celebrimbor, he is clearly-

Celebrimbor, with literal anime heart eyes towards Adar, waving Annatar off: No no, please, let him speak...
