You don't wish your disability was worse or more visible, you wish your disability was taken seriously. Please stop confusing the two, I guarantee you would not get the support you need JUST by being more severe or more visible. Please listen to visibly disabled people when we tell you it isn't better on our side
#m/cc#mine#I tried extremely hard to word this nicely because I KNOW people don't mean bad and often even know there are unique challenges#and believe me I know the challenges of invisible disability too!!#I have invisible disabilities!#but as someone who has also been at least visibly 'off' since they were 10 I am SO SICK of invisible disabilities being hailed as like#a unique extra oppression that us lucky visibly disabled people don't have to deal with#there are challenges to invisible disabilities that visibly disabled people DON'T have to deal with!#but you need to understand that *the reverse is also true*#there are MASSIVE benefits to being able to lie about your disability for example#or not dealing with the overt ableism that comes with your disability being obvious to everyone#*I do not have the option to pretend I'm not disabled.* that is never an option I have#I walk weirdly. I use a mobility aid now. my speech and face are 'off.' I lean to one side#for a long time I wore sunglasses 24/7 and often didn't make sense. I sometimes can't speak or won't react to others#for the most part people will always know that at the very least something is wrong with me#and more obviously I have people telling me they'll pray for me; telling me I can't do things I'm already in the process of doing;#wanting to shake my hand to tell me I'm an inspiration for not killing myself; giving me dirty looks for existing in public#and yes. I'm aware that this is very much an in-community issue. I know the average abled person doesn't know invisible disabilities exist#that's why there's so much awareness happening for it#but as a visibly disabled person I get SO TIRED of constantly hearing 'I wish my disability was visible :'('#it's just 'I wish I had your disability!' but from other disabled people

Want to make a minor adjustment to my Steve With Much Older Siblings post from yesterday. I think it’d be a much more interesting dynamic if he’s actually their half sibling from an affair.
Their father had an affair with his secretary and then married her when she got pregnant. It broke up their family and they blamed Steve for it for years.
When they stayed over for their weekend with Dad, they were either outright cruel to him or pretended he didn’t exist. When they were old enough to stop coming over, they did. It’s only after growing up and maturing that (most of) his siblings were able to acknowledge that Steve was never at fault for their family breaking up.
They tried to mend their relationship with him, especially after realizing how absent his parents are, but by then Steve was old enough to build up his own resentment. It’s an uphill battle.
It’s a lot of actually coming around for holidays and a lot of teasing when they do. It’s actually picking the phone when the hospital calls, something that’s happening with increasing frequency.
Steve has never asked any of them for anything until one day, he shows up on Richie’s front porch smelling like death and gasoline. He’s got blood drying all over him and is visibly shaking, and Richie thinks that he’s been hurt in the earthquake but Steve barely acknowledges the concern, “I need you to represent my friend.”
“What?”
“You’re the only lawyer I know, and -“ Steve takes a big shuttering breath. “They’ll kill him, Rich. He never hurt anybody but no one will listen. They’ll lock him up and it won’t be fair, and Dustin can’t… I never ask you for anything but. But I need…”
“Eddie Munson?” He asks incredulous. “You’re friends with Eddie Munson?”
#Eddie meeting his lawyer for the first time: This is your brother? Dick?#Richie: Rich#Eddie: I’m sure you are#update made because I upset myself with my original post as a person who has a good relationship with their big age gap sister#I figure Steve’s got four siblings#the oldest is his sister Elizabeth who pretends his doesn’t exist and never comes around#and then Richie who was named after their dad. he’s a lawyer#and then Jason who was the family fuck up until Steve came along#and then Claire who is twelve years older than Steve#she’s a nurse#steve harrington#stranger things#Steve Has Older Siblings AU

I know this might hurt to hear for some but the ending of Falsettos is the necessary climax and conclusion to all of the men's character arcs.
Bill Finn didn't write it just to be a downer ending. He wrote it so Marvin would have to overcome his misogyny and take on a caregiving role and so he could learn to rely on his family for support.
He wrote it so Whizzer would have to overcome his pride and allow himself to be cared for and loved. To bring him and his family together.
He wrote it to knock Mendel down from his g-d complex. To show him he doesn't have the answers, that he has to help his family process their feelings instead of just pretending everything is fine.
He wrote it to teach Jason to give up his king, to concede, to learn from his mistakes. To teach him about being a man.
Whizzer's death happens at the end of Jason's bar mitzvah because it symbolizes all four men finally growing up. Becoming men. It is their final step out of falsettoland. Ignoring the ending robs them of their growth.
#this is why “whizzer lives” aus dont really work#bc they trap them in perpetual adolecence#or pretend their flaws never existed#falsettos#marvin falsettos#marvin trilogy#whizzer brown#mendel weisenbachfeld#jason falsettos#tw aids#tw death#tw illness#tw loss

So basically one of Solas' murals
is the Crestwood scene, but with reversed roles. Solas is the rejected one, Mythal is the one who walks away, leaving him alone in what I presume was a glade at night, judging from the environmental sounds and hushed tones we can hear.
And, to be honest, I don't know how I feel about it - it feels like it cheapens the Crestwood scene, repeating an abusive pattern, stripping away the romance and softness of that scene. It's, once again, something Solas already went through with Mythal, not something he shares with Lavellan only. It's Weekes saying yet again that Solas saw Mythal in Lavellan, and that's why he fell in love with her. Not because she was Lavellan, but because she reminded him of Mythal and gave him hope that all elves could return to that "level" of wisdom.
What we learn in this game also ruins the kiss scene on the balcony, where Solas say "You have showed wisdom I have not seen since... since my deepest journeys into the ancient memories of the Fade."
Most of us believed he meant "Wisdom I have not seen since my ancient days in Elvhenan", but it's basically confirmed at this point that he meant "Wisdom I have not seen since Mythal".
A month ago, someone here mentioned how Weekes had said there was a specific reason why Solas had falled for Lavellan. I never found the interview where they said so, but I saw many believed it had something to do with reincarnation, lost soulmates finding each other again etc., but once again, it's clear what Weekes meant, and it's bad, cheap writing.
They could have written a god finally learning the error of his ways thanks to his love for a mortal - a love completely different from that of who was basically an abuser, a parent-like figure forcing him to take form and serve -, but instead they went for the easy route: a god still loving another god, feeling love for a mortal who reminds him of her, and changing his mind only because his god finally gives him permission to be free.
The mortal who supposedly "changes everything" serves no purpose - she actually tells him "There is no fate but the love we share" after he's been "freed" from his service, which in this context, in this situation, sounds more like a punishment, another yoke, some sort of "I finally got you, you can't run from me anymore".
I don't know what happened to Weekes' writing - either they were forced to make these decisions due to various constraints, or they completely changed their style/ideas during development, because this is not the Solas, this is not the Solavellan romance, we got in DA:I.
#da:tv spoilers#solavellan#dragon age spoilers#MAN#can't believe i wasted brain cells on this game#i'll probably pretend it never existed#and imagine my own canon#because this isn't a love letter#it's a fucking tragedy LOLOLOL#WELP#time to go back to FFXIV#Haurchefant Greystone of House Fortemps would never treat me like this

legitimately i think men underestimate how boring misogyny is in media. like yes it can be gross or uncomfortable or upsetting or whatever else but for the most part it’s just boring. like we know this stuff. it’s not sooo controversial and revolutionary and new to the scene and edgy. it’s violent sex and women not being treated as people. like we know. we’re already living in it babes. the fastest way to make a piece of media boring is to make it misogynistic. and this especially applies to fantasy for me, because you’re over here getting immersed in a different world with different types of people and places and societies and then it’s just oh, the author didn’t actually make anything new. they took what they know about the real world some hundred years ago and added magic powers. or this was all just a really long intro to a dnd themed porno. the male characters sacrifice complexity because their motivations are just.. misogyny. which is at its core very simple and unimaginative. rape or violence or degradation or abuse aren’t really all that shocking or complex to see on screen. they’re in loads of movies with varying levels of quality in handling and i’m not particularly upset by them. they’re in some of my favorite movies. this isn’t an issue of sensibilities or fear. it’s just so boring.
#obviously if you do get upset with the misogyny that’s entirely legitimate#i’m personally kinda over it#i sympathize with the actresses above all#but media wise it’s honestly just such a drag and i’ll lose interest#and alternatively to the blatant misogyny they’ll just try to pretend women don’t exist#because you don’t have to own up to your male centric worldview if the men never encounter a woman!#and it’s like well now it’s kinda boring innit#where are the women

Lrb relevant something about the way each brother is constantly reiterating their trauma in an attempt to subdue it.
Jacob, most direct and long-term recipient of their father's abuse, surrounds himself with people he's conditioned to become violent at the drop of a hat.
But its ok, because he controls the trigger this time.
Joseph, left abandoned by the splitting of their family, creates conditions for his new Family that are so untenable it's only a matter of time before any given member tries to leave him.
But it's ok, because being forced to constantly negotiate, gaslight, and threaten people into sticking with him makes him feel like he has power over his isolation this time.
John reliving his childhood torture every goddamn day, carving himself up when he can't carve up others and having his fear of damnation dangled over his head by his brother god. Constantly repenting, constantly atoning, never forgiven.
But it's ok, because he holds the knife this time. When you hold the knife, you get to say when it stops, and you get to extract sin from others rather than have it extracted from you.
#i thought about a faith addition to this post but honestly#faith distances herself so hard from her past self she functionally pretends she never existed#its a very testimony approach to trauma#obviously very hollow#but it means shes not really seeking reflections of herself#shes afraid of a mirror more than anything#far cry 5#fc5#joseph seed#john seed#jacob seed

Owl Song fun facts:
Tim likes to pretend that Jason is off studying abroad when the reality of him being gone becomes too crushing. He’s just… on another continent right now. And his phone rarely has any service. But he’s okay, and happy, and he’s probably got a ton of stories to tell them when he’s back.
#owl song#Tim drake#Tim suffering in silence makes my heart go throuh a worrying amount of palpitations#Dick’s grief is violent#Bruce’s current coping mechanism is pretending that Jason never existed#Alfred has trouble interacting with Tim without Jason’s shadow looming over them all#and Tim just misses them all so much#oops#talon dick grayson#jason todd#batfamily

I’m literally eating food rn but I had to write this idea down
ok so let’s say one day, before Nicky’s death, he asks his mom who her first love was. in this idea, Agatha won’t let Rio be a part of Nicky’s life etc etc
Agatha hesitantly describes Rio, leaving out like all the parts about her being death and what not and tells Nicky, “that’s your mami,”
so when Rio comes to pick up Nicky, he’s not afraid of her because he recognizes her from Agatha’s description. He even calls her his mami.
#hnghhhhh#Rio fully expecting Agatha to pretend she doesn’t exist#To never tell Nicky she’s his other mother#And then finding that out#As she takes Nicky to the afterlife#Agatha refusing to deprive Nicky from knowing Rio exists#Because she feels she owes that much to Rio#I need a nap#and to finish my food#agatha all along#agatha harkness#rio vidal#agathario#Agatha loves Rio sm#nicholas scratch

already seeing "ugh male Rook with Neve in the trailer... that's a LESBIAN" posts on twitter and I'm beating them with a big stick that says "you can HEADCANON whatever you want about anything ever but your HEADCANON is factually incorrect and if it chaps your ass even a little bit when anyone up to and including the literal creators of the character disagrees with your HEADCANON then that's fully a you problem and you should consider developing coping skills about it rather than contributing to this fandom's legendary hostility by policing (even in a manner you'll claim was "joking" when someone stands up for themselvs) people who are only enjoying their own playthrough, headcanon, or ship" and by stick I do mean the block button
#for the record: you will never catch me dead acknowledging the existence of any man or m/f ship in this game#(except the one man I will deem “my son” and whatever woman I ship him with to make him more interesting)#but Neve is pan Bellara is pan Taash is pan Harding is pan#these are facts#and I will block anyone - a mutual/ my mom /a delicious chicken caesar wrap /Jesus Christ etc - taking a policing tone stating otherwise#it was so fucking irritating in BG3 fandom and I'm not even pretending to tolerate it in DA#post your headcanons for your own enjoyment and find your own community and let others have theirs in peace

Also "what happened to all indigenous and afro argentines" go fucking outside, they're there
#cosas mias#people who say that have either never been to Argentina or willfully pretending they don't exist#like I always say they're the best at perpetuating the myth of a white Argentina#'argentina is a white country' that's exactly what racists want you to say you're doing their job for them

GUYS THE CANDY CADET STORY???///
It’s gotta be about Vanessa right? Like she’s the only adult female character in the games. She escaped from Glitchtrap just barely through Princess Quest 1-3 but was left with a scar (Vanny? her trauma?). After escaping with Gregory, she builds up the courage to come back to the Pizzeria with Gregory (the young boy guiding her) to take down Glitchtrap forever. They go to the “small house” aka the FNAF 6 Pizzeria and kill the witch aka Glitchtrap. And the oven metaphor referencing how Springtrap/Scraptrap was burned with fire?
though it does say “when she was little” so maybe there’s more to Vanessa’s past than we know? Was the past she told to the therapists in SB true?
#fnaf help wanted 2 spoilers#fnaf hw2#fnaf vanny#fnaf vanessa#five nights at freddy's#IM SHAKINF#WE GOT SO MUCH VANESSA/VANNY CONTENT#VANESSA FANS KEEP WINNING THIS YEAR#YEAR OF THE VANESSA#this year has just been Vanessa taking down variations of Springtrap over and over#IM SO PISSED apparently she had voice lines that they just either forgot to put in or didn’t finish recording before release#??????#and they make the story so much less confusing ????#i genuinely expected Steel Wool to pretend Vanessa Vanny never existed 💀💀💀#and just like transition to a new era with Cassie Vanny#BUT NO WE GOT SOME KIND OF CLOSURE WITH VANESSA VANNY CRUSHING GLITCHTRAP#i hope and pray this means well see more Vanessa in the future games
