sometimes...

...all you can do is lay low and let things happen as they do.

that's okay. it doesn't make you weak or lazy. it's simply a way to cope because in those times, even letting yourself exist can seem too tiring.

let yourself be. it's enough. you're enough ✨

Everything does not seem to make sense no more. I wonder, how long must I keep suffering? One lover goes, comes another one through my door. How much more can this world give more of its offering?

But one lover drains the very soul you have left, And another lover fills the empty heart you have. It seems that for me, Jesus never wept. For others sin, but still get the desires they love.

Would this methaphor be on my center again? I hope God, takes over, for I want to be His friend. This is not a prayer, but this is not the end. For with Him, we live in peace and harmony, For that I say Amen.

Autism Speaks ~ Are You Listening? Neurodiverse Awareness ~ Repost

The following is written by my beautiful daughter, Kai, who is diagnosed as Autistic, as is one of her children. She is an advocate for the Autistic/Neurodivergent community. Her empathetic and compassionate insights shine an educated light on the realities people on all levels of the Autistic Spectrum face. I’ve been thinking about something a lot. Low support needs autistic people aren’t…

you sick little animal, even death itself pities you.

george rexstrew deserves awards for many things but i have to say. edwin’s bloodcurdling scream as niko gets killed deserves a whole award unto itself. like. that scream did not feel at all like a tv show scream. to a somewhat jarring degree. and i can’t express how much I respect that

I have a vast pit of despair inside me at all times but I think I’m pretty happy other than that

Everyone yesterday: Ugh, October?? I mean, it’s nice to know, but we don’t wanna wait three months— most of us are busy with school or life by then :////

what's weird about the fantasy high drama is that like. it seems to me like people forget d&d is primarily a) a game you play with your friends and also b) luck based.

I mean it's fine to say that "nothing felt like a challenge" and "they just dominated everything and there weren't any stakes" but like. it's not as if they weren't up against huge threats. they lost the mall fight. the last stand was an onslaught of enemies. they fought a dozen dragons from an airship. the fights were hard. they're just really good. they've had very good dice luck in general this season and are all very high level and highly specialized. fig is gonna beat deception and performance checks. adaine's gonna figure out the arcana. riz is gonna succeed investigations. like. for some reason their strategical competence and wisely picked abilities are. a downside? a disappointment?

the thing about d&d that you need to remember is it's first and foremost a game. it's mostly random and it takes you down weird paths and you're playing to have fun with your friends. the dice are literally telling the story that it's their time, it's their year. they've struggled enough. they've trained enough. they're good at what they do. and in my post about the academic/domestic/personal stressors being the focus, d&d doesn't have any other system to work them out than rolling different skills. that's what d&d is. brennan set specific challenge levels for different tasks and the players strategized to prioritize which abilities they were strongest in. the challenges were there. and the players rose to them. they were both smart in their delegation of responsibilities and lucky with their dice rolls. of which, both are foundations of d&d.

don't mistake them being good players and getting lucky with there being no hardship. just because they smashed through the wall, that doesn't mean the wall wasn't strong. they were just stronger.

it's really weird to me the way people have been talking about maria lately.... like i know maria wasnt the most developed character in her earlier appearances and she also didnt get to have a normal childhood experience but seeing people say she has no personality and has no joy or whimsy or never got to be a kid at all makes me wonder if im the only person whos actually been paying attention to maria this whole time...???? like do people think she was a sad miserable kid who never got to have fun because of her disability or something ? because that is quite literally the opposite of who she was

and people are being weirdly ableist about it too like talking like her illness is the reason for all those traits she supposedly lacks. implying disabled people cant be happy or have fun or whatever. like come on man
