You know that part in a book where suddenly something that happened earlier makes complete sense?
I’m convinced I’m never getting that with this book I’m reading.

Tord: Hey Matt... any news?
Matt: Come on, Tom...
M: Ugh, No! They didn't let me come with and Tom SAID he'd keep me updated!!
Td: I'm sure he's... busy...
M: Tom! How is he?
Tom: Well, Edd's stable, but they said they needed to run more tests before they could say anything for sure.
Tm: ...and then they said we could come back tomorrow during normal visiting hours.
M: What did you say to the doctors?
Tm: That Edd's been a bit under the weather, but we thought it was just a cold or something. Then he started coughing up blood, so we took him straight here.
M: You didn't mention...?
Tm: No, I didn't.
M: Tom!! But that could be important!
Tm: MATT!!
Tm: Let's talk in the car.

i think that if anyone was gonna write "angst" abt tim and being bi/coming out it should be about how jack drake died before tim could tell him. that despite the complicated relationship he had with a parent who wouldve, couldve, been horrible about it, tim never got the choice to tell him (or janet. i love you janet i know you wouldve supported your little guy)
like. the evidence that your parent would react horribly but the need for them to accept you and jack drake who's primary way of bonding with his kid was trying to make him a mans man (but not That kind. yk.) and clearly expected tim to be cisheterosexual vs the reality of a bisexual kid who has a lot of stake in identities and disguises. and like. jack had to grapple with the fact that tim was robin (famously.) but like
idk sorry i just think it would eat at tim. like. part of the guilt of losing the parent you have this complicated relationship with would also be tied to the "they never really knew me, they didnt get the chance or give me the space to tell them" and feeling guilty and sad that you Couldnt come out. and Not Knowing howd they wouldve reacted. and how that could tie to real internalized bullshit! because that is also an lgbt experience! especially with parent death!

where’s that little horror piece about kits never growing up in Starclan? because I remember it so vividly but I can’t find it.
The one about Bright Stream?
Weird that it's so hard to find! It's probably because it's got such heavy tags lmao.
I really mean it though like, canon's permakitten system and the idea that Bright Stream is up there, forever taking care of fetus children who were filled by sudden knowledge and yet never grow past that point absolutely horrifies me. Jesus Christ. I don't know how anyone reads that final scene in Path of Stars and isn't filled with itching, white-hot existential dread, man.
Sometimes you just gotta write horror about it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

mental illness/personality disorder acceptance isn't "i should be able to do what i want forever with no consequences because of my disorder, and if you get mad at me for being an asshole then you are being ableist"
instead it's not believing in thought crime. it's not thinking that low empathy makes you a bad person. it's not judging attention-seeking behavior. it's not enforcing ableist societal standards on people who can't meet them. it's being understanding when people are trying their best. it's not thinking that doing bad things makes you irredeemably a bad person forever, and supporting people who want to do better.
you do not deserve to have your harmful behaviors 100% excused just because you are mentally ill. you are still hurting people. you don't have the moral right to hurt people, and it doesn't make you superior to not want to get better.

If the WBD press room tags are to be believed this photo dates to episode 1. The Steard and the clothing don't match up with what Stede wears for the rest of the season, so I suspect this might be a daydream. If we get one of Ed's fantasies of Stede looking like this and being swashbuckling and beautiful and we cut to him in Stede's now empty quarters and I have to see my babygirl's face fall as he emerges from this reverie (IN EPISODE ONE!!!!!!!) I will violate the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR). David please I am not so strong
