if the message that you are ugly and unworthy of romance was beaten into you from before you hit double digits to the point that you can't even imagine, as a harmless daydream, being loved and desired by your fictional favorites without cringing and berating yourself, you may be entitled to financial compensation

Me before watching today’s episode of Peaceful Property: This story’s not gonna make me cry. It’s gonna be sad but like whatever.

Me watching it on my lunch break:

I've watched the reintegration scene SEVEN TIMES now and I still get full body chills from it..

The slight change in his voice when he says "you mean what quarter?" is INSANE!!! Ever so slightly more child-like and higher in pitch than all his previous answers ... Fucking 😭 And then the editing.. how was his posing so precise despite the costume changes ?? The precision angles and exact same expressions. The scene and episode ending with the phrase "who are you?" The same phrase that starts the show?? (And again when Mark first meets Reghabi)

SHOCK. AWE. WONDER.

Basim and the dichotomy of a college student, circa 2024

Okay I don’t want this to be like an obnoxious millennial assumption because I’m positive that every generation has things like this, but the way autism and ADHD was treated for us in the 90’s and how it affects adult diagnoses is like, imo, so integral to our coming of age and the stories we tell and the way we’ve gotten to know ourselves, even the way it relates to our job market and economy and how we operate inside it, and especially the way a pandemic uncovered it for so many people and exposed the cracks and revealed that we were all just barely functioning and held together with popsicle sticks and anyway

I say that because maybe it’s the un-diagnosed 90’s child in me but I feel particularly emotional about Keith’s arc in learning that he’s part Galra, and the way even the creators said they made him sort of prickly because of his biology, and I just !! Think so much about Keith’s neurotype as a part Galra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cause something about being diagnosed later in life is like, looking back at all the other ways you tried to handle yourself, all the missteps, maybe even misdiagnoses. Like, how many times did you try to treat ANXIETY without realizing you didn’t have an anxiety disorder, you just can’t deal with your family blaring the TV from the next room? How many times were you told you were lazy, or lying, when you didn’t know what executive dysfunction is? 

Keith is such a lovely rich character because his prickliness is EARNED—we know what happened to him, we know he’s traumatized, we know he’s been treated poorly by many people in his life. We know that he grew up thinking that he’d been abandoned by one of the people who should’ve loved him the most, in the whole world. He even questions that in his vlog—he makes the connection that he has trouble with people because of his mom. 

But I just wonder like, how much of it is just his biology. Not understanding the body he’s in, being completely ignorant of one whole half of his culture. Had he ever mutated before the TBP fight? Did it take him by surprise, did it frighten him? ((* This is head canon territory LMAO there’s no way to really know—like, is he able to do this because he just spent so much time with Krolia, or does Shiro going That’s the Keith I remember mean they used to have really primal sex that turned his eyes yellow? Lol)) 

Like when we talk about even the most broad generic terms of saying someone is neurodivergent, we don't even need to put a real life label on Keith. Like he's literally not human! Of course his brain looks different! Of course he functions differently! And I wonder how much is nature v nurture -- if he knew the truth about his mom, if his dad had lived, if he'd been allowed a normal childhood, would he still have been a weird kid?

Cause like, even seeing the way Shiro is able to get through to him, we see ways that he allowed for thrill seeking, and he didn't judge Keith for stealing his car. It reminds me of like, what we know now about asking children to sit still in school, and how perhaps some children would do better with standing desks. Shiro wants him to behave and succeed, and doesn't judge him for being a car thief, and gets through to him by bringing him cliff diving. And it just feels like this clue, you know, that nothing is wrong with Keith, he's just living in a weird place where people don't get him.

It’s just really special to me, because there’s so many pieces in the sequence of events of Keith’s character arc, and I know I’ve said this a handful of times now, but I really sincerely believe it’s the only thing the show really nailed. Accepting himself during the BOM Trial -> MOMENTS later learning something very important about his biology -> spending time with Krolia -> coming back to pilot Black when he’s READY and WANTS to (unlike the first time, when he resisted) -> becoming a pragmatic strong leader by the end.

Gosh idk. 

I don’t really have anywhere to go with this, it’s just something I was thinking about today and it gets me real emotional. Like, Keith must have had these moments, re-evaluating who he’d been before he’d known, finally understanding why he was Like That, and it’s so healing to imagine him accepting his past self and forgiving it because he understands now.

Whenever i see that post about how American have the tendency not to include their country when ordering internationally from someone i'm always thrown by the defense of it. Do you not want your delivery? I get trying to explain why this habit exists but most people end up coming off arrogant and close minded.

Well America is soo big. So is Russia. Who fucking cares

We dont travel blah blah something Europe. Most people aren't globe trotters, even people in Europe. Broke people exist there too.

Some states are bigger than entire countries. That's arrogant and China exists. Who cares about how many countries you can fit in Texas. You're ordering internationally.

When we write addresses we don't include the country. So does everybody else when they send things internally. Do you not want your package?

How many places in the world are some american city OH. This isn't a quiz show. Lots of places in the world are the only one.

Pretending that not knowing internal information about a country like a state vs, not knowing about a country isn't on the same level. One is worse. I understand wanting to explain why this happens but many of the reasons applies to everybody else in the world. International shipping takes too long and can be too expensive to be so casual with spending money on something that might not get delivered because the country was missing.

Most are being thoughtless but the ones ordering internationally and banking on someone knowing a US state abbreviation is pure insanity. I refuse to think actual humans think this way. Not thinking about it, so not adding it makes more sense.

no one see all of us strangers unless you're ready to get bodied by the link between your childhood and your own fear of or desire for unconditional love and comfort. btw

the death of a father

To be honest, seeing the audience's live reaction for the last BostonNick scene tells me everything I need to know about why their story ended up like it did.

My dad is dying from cancer and mom is freaking out about not being able to buy shit for Christmas. My siblings and I have said so many times in the last week that we don't care about Christmas. We just want dad to be with us. We want him to be home and be okay. She's the only one freaking out about not putting shit under the tree this year. We don't give a shit about Christmas gifts when this may be dad's last Christmas.

If Escape the Ministry is going to be anything like the Gorillaz Plastic Beach flash game that is now semi lost, someone please PLEASE record every option and area of the map

I was so upset when I found out the Gorillaz game was shut down and not archived and don't want this to eventually happen to someone else down the line
