maybe i'm a bitch but if i hear you go out of your way to judge someone's weight, i immediately lose trust in you & will probably forever find you a little unbearable . yes also the little floating bar over my head will start reading [hostile]. this is natural and u caused it.

i used to freehand comics all the time as a child and since the part i liked was the drawing part i would just draw panel after panel because i didn't want to stop drawing to think about icky icky words, plus the story TOTALLY still made perfect sense! to me! and noone else, but 'whoooo caaaaares omgggg its not like comics and sequantial art are a communicative meeediummmm lmaoooooo'. i spent my entire childhood telling myself stuff like "oh pfft I know this story by heart- ill SIMPLY remember the dialogue and write it later" ...and. I can't help but admire baby maiora's (call that a minora ba tm tsk) fucking audacity? hubris? confident wrongness? kid couldn't even remember to finish the comics in the first place? INCREDIBLE levels of unearned self assurance, wish that were me, genuinely- what an icon!!! anyway i think i have forever cursed myself

I am such a good employee and this company is better off with me in it and I am giving my employer absolutely 0% of my free time and emotional labour. I go to bookings, I get good reviews, I go home and I don't do shit beyond that

IM OBSESSED WITH THE LIGHTHOUSE me and my best friend beans have watched it together probably five times (which is impressive because we live 5 hours apart so every time we see each other. its lighthouse time.) ANYWAYS. i'll die on the hill that they did more than just fight and cuddle.

YOU’VE ACTIVATED MY TRAP CARD UBER AUTISM!!!! BE PREPARED FOR A LONG RANT ABOUT THE LIGHTHOUSE!!!

(Rant under cut, warning for discussions of sexual content, including non-consensual encounters)

That is so slay!! Love that you share it with a friend, haha. I’ve seen it 152 times, only once in theaters for a special anniversary screening and it was MAGICAL. I have a dvd and a special dvd with extra art and the blueprint plans for the lighthouse itself and their clothing that I am happy to share, but OUUUGH I love this movie!! I watch it at least once a week!! I have read through the original script at least six times!!

They definitely did more!! Oh my goodness!! I’m so glad you agree. We of course have the moment they almost kiss while slow dancing, (which is phenomenal) but a lot of people glaze over Howard almost blatantly kissing Wake before he beats him up, when he is hallucinating him as the mermaid!!

And then, right after that, when he tells Wake to bark like a dog, the atmosphere is so TENSE I can’t stand it!! I certainly think after he told him to roll over and stood over him that they did… something. What in particular depends on the reading, but it definitely wasn’t kosher, let’s say. (Whether or not Wake did or even could consent is also very dubious at best).

I love rewatching the movie with a different reading in mind. The Proteus / Prometheus theory, Wake being the liar, Howard being the liar, them both lying, it all being a deathbed hallucination, Howard having killed Winslow bc they were lovers/he had a crush, etc., even different variations of them all put together!

Anyone have a favorite interpretation? Favorite theory? Moment? Anything?

Sorry Bunny… you walked right into my autism trap…

Ya know. I spent most of my life with horrible painful soul-crushing social anxiety.

And after about 25 years of continuous hard work, suddenly, people started pointing out - to my utter bafflement - that I had, in fact, achieved my lifelong dream of being charismatic. I'm 29 now; I feel comfortable in most social situations, and it is a very rare person whom I cannot make laugh.

I am, undoubtedly, finally, charismatic.

But do you know what I found?

I found that now that I have an understanding of which social rules serve which functions -- Now that I have an understanding of just how much damage my awkwardness was doing to people, well,

I found that, actually, my awkwardness never really hurt anyone at all. People were just judgmental dicks to me about it.

Now that I have the skill-level to (most of the time) creatively vocalize what is in my head as soon as I think it and without fear, I can confirm once and for all what I had always suspected:

I was worth talking to when I was quiet.

I was worth talking to when I was awkward, and when the words in my head took time and patience to hear, and when most of my jokes didn't land. I was worth talking to the whole time.

So I just... I hope that if you've ever wondered whether you are worth communicating with, the answer is yes. Absolutely yes. Each of us has a soul worth sharing - and if you and I were talking, I would happily wait for you to speak (or communicate in other ways) without condescending, and I would never shame you for that harmless awkwardness that so many people feel the need to violently stomp out.

You are worth talking to. You just are. And you deserve people who will speak to you with kindness, with patience, and with the basic immutable respect owed to all people.

(I talk about this with some frequency, both on tumblr and in real life. At some point, maybe I'll gather all my thoughts on the matter into one post. At some point, I wrote about my personal experience trying to build my social skill. But I felt the need to say at least a little bit tonight after seeing this other lovely post, and I'm glad I did. It will happen again.)

My sister’s graduation day 😤 let’s go 👏🏽

[boxwinebaddie]

an uncle nina clean-a upgayte! <3 c':

i'd apologize for all the personal posts but this is, in fact, my personal blog and i don't want to try to write/create until this is all sorted ( and i think it will be my best writing yet when it's here! fingers crossed. )

we've reached the halfway point in uncle nina *rp vc* vanquishes the evil that is her horror movie level scary depression nightmare room!

yay! <333 i am in surprisingly good spirits, have several loads of laundry going, hung a lot of clothes, can currently see my floor (epic), i made a schedule, all parts of my shift were covered, and this is just a reminder to all my friends ( especially a dear one who reached out to me and told me they are also overwhelmed) that you are so much BIGGER than the things that scare you, angels.

you can do anything that you set your mind to and i promise those things that seem impossible now will be so silly and small later when you are sittin at the summit of shit mountain w/ a smile on ur face. :)

take care, be well, be merry, be proud of ur accomplishments, big or small and know that every breath you take is a battle, baby.

so keep fighting the good fight, okay? <3

i love you and i hope you heal,

uncle nina <333

Of all the things I expected to get emotional about while reading fanfic, the casual and extremely accurate portrayal of Midwestern culture via Superman and his adopted human family was not one of them. I'm totally not happy crying about the fact that a few throwaway lines in a story made me feel more at home and connected to my culture than I have in years.

I spend a lot of time being ashamed of where I come from because it's a red state and there's a lot of bigotry here, but this is also the place where people literally drive around in snowstorms in their pickup trucks looking for cars that need pulled out of ditches. We eat our cinnamon rolls with chili, we call soda 'pop,' and it's not a proper holiday until we've cooked so much the smoke alarm goes off. This is my home, too. This is where I come from, and it's just as real and important as any of the bad stuff.

I learned to drive in a cow pasture. I still like country music. And yes, I really do say 'ope.' I've spent a lot of time being embarrassed about my dialect, too, but tonight I'm kind of proud of it. After all, Superman speaks it too.
