kindly reminder that during their first date, magnus didn't remember jace's name and alec was like "oh, i'm... i'm alec" because he thought, since he didn't remember jace's, magnus wouldn't remember his name either. little did he know magnus was already a little in too deep. little did he know magnus found him more precious than anyone else.

(he then had the biggest smile on his face when magnus told he remembered his name)

Expectation

do you ever see a post in your CR and wish so badly you could send it to a specific person in your DR?

Finishing Wakfu = Being a crying mess

Can't stop thinking about how happy cass got when he thought it was Meg who he saw in the empty and then they way his smile instantly drops when it was actually just the empty wearing her face

Who, if anyone, do you ship Rebekah with?! I haven't watched that show in a very long time but remember having a weird soft spot for her and Matt :)

Honestly I ship Rebekah with almost EVERYONE. She just has chemistry with everyone. But my otps for her currently are Stebekah and Bonbekah. I love Stebekah’s chemistry and their dynamic is so intriguing to me. If Stelena couldn’t have been endgame, I would’ve loved if Stefan went to New Orleans with Bekah and Klaus.

And I love Bonbekah for so many reasons. One of them is how they’re pretty similar as people. Both love hard and passionately and constantly get betrayed. Also their taste in men is questionable haha. This might be an unpopular opinion, but I wish Rebekah befriended Bonnie in s4 instead of April, who was literally never mentioned before s4. And right after Prom, she’s just whoosh and I don’t think she was ever mentioned again haha.

Scully and Mulder have such baby faces in the first season, every time I see them I wanna put them in a nest and keep them warm like a mama hen.

They do! I love their baby faces. They were so cute in season one.

Also I was looking online at East essence trying to find an eid outfit or just some inspo. Tell me why they had kid outfits 🥺💕💕💕

Maximum Ride will always have a special place in my bookshelf. The area for books that caused extreme emotional damage. And I loved every second of it.

personally, i think we don't give jenny enough credit. she took in two very obviously underaged people, dealt with all of their strange habits like yelling to themselves or "using" her shop as a hangout spot or cussing out her customers or even their strange lack of boundaries with her, survived an implied serial killer date, and was willing to follow crystal with a knife when she thought she was going to confront her abusive ex.

jenny deserves the world and i hope we get season 2 so she can have it

i think about the 30th Anniversary Star Trek Barbie and Ken set so much actually,,, look at them go

ever since it was understood that the animatronics were possessed by kids in the first game, my very first headcanon was "oh, if they are possessed by kids, I imagine the animatronics must act like kids sometimes."

9 YEARS LATER AND I FINALLY HAVE MY BABIES BEING SILLY GOOFY AND ACTING LIKE KIDS I WAS SO HAPPY I NEARLY WANTED TO CRY!!

I don't care what people say about this scene. I love it. It perfectly reminds the audience that the animatronics are possessed by kids. Who still behave like kids and still want to do kids things. Building a fort was something I loved doing as a kid. So, I can see them wanting to build the biggest one they can with their new size and strength their animatronic bodies now provide them. I know in fanfictions this how people write the animatronics. But they're always written with adult maturity and them being possessed by ghosts of kids gets ignored. So, this scene was perfect in my mind.

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

[plain-text version of this post can be found under the cut]

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

Presenting: King Sidon, his wife Queen Yona and his boyfriend Link.

Yona is very supportive of everything except Sidon forgetting his ceremony cues.

(I had an atrocious week and TotK has been coming in clutch for keeping me sane.)
