Having fae blood is weird. Being any time of human effected by extra planer beings is weird, but with the fae you have a very specifically odd place in society. You don't even have the privilege of having it been an accident strangers can feel sorry about, you reached out to the faeries, let them play with your body and make it something more than human, it feels better this way, like you were always meant to have become this. You've heard yourself referred to as a changling a lot, but you're not sure you like that term for people touched by the fae, mabye you don't want there to be a term at all.
You're not treated exactly like other people who've been effected by other types of entities, it's not like you've been touched by eldritch magic, or by demonic or divine forces, or made undead, where you're likely to be dehumanized as a monster. People think of you as being cute in a gross way, mabye tragic, like you were a misguided soul who should have been stopped from becoming this way, and now you have to be taken care of. It's hard for people to accept that you should even be allowed to live a normal life. Every time you look up how to deal with aspects of being fae blooded you always see articles for parents dealing with their fae touched children, like they forgot those children will grow up.
People underestimate you in weird ways. People are suprised to learn that you live on your own, that you have an actual job, that you date. People are so willing to help you or to do things for you even when you explicitly tell them not to. The way people talk to every freind your with like they're your handler. Anyone who has power over you will debate weather to let you do things, or do things on your own, it's gotten to the point where your boss and half your professors act like you're a child whose behavior has to be corrected, they don't treat anyone else that way. You've had to explain to people so many times that you're fine handling your weakness to cold iron on your own.
You know that your body and your behavior is a big part of it. You like how you look, but there are so many traits that make people think of you like something small and cute, the flowers that grow in your hair, your big golden eyes, your pointed ears and little goblinoid fangs, the simple fact that your short and slender and androgynous, it all makes people think of you as less of an adult. Not to mention all those little fae quirks that make your behavior so much less human, that make people want to correct you like a misbehaving child. Sometimes you wish you had become creepier, wish you looked like the type of fae creature people need to be afraid of... You would have hated the body you have if it wasn't so euphoric to inhabit it.
Dealing with other demihumans sucks. A lot of them are nice, but it's hard to get some to understand how you're uniquely effected as a fae touched. Like, you understand that there's just some things that you don't go through, like you know someone whose been effected by demons, whose form is something that most people find incredibly scary, the type of creature that some people want to kill. And how can you explain to him that what you go through is just as much of a problem. You were told by an undead once that you were taking away attention from "real" demihumans, just for existing, just for wanting rights.
You've half given up on dating at this point. Your last boyfriend was a fellow demihuman, but he was eldirch touched, twice your hight and with a massive complex mouth filled with sharp teeth, he kept being called a pervert or a predator for dating you, he had to stop just because of that type of judgment. He was a year older than you. A fully human girlfriend you had before him kept treating you like she was your mother. Most people you meet on dating apps think of you as a kink, like a cute submissive little creature they want to dominate, they're so surprised when you don't have the type of fetish that they think is inherent to your being, when you don't think being called slurs is hot. And than there's the fact that people think you shouldn't be allowed to date, if certain laws had passed in your state you wouldn't legally be allowed to consent to sex. You can barely understand how you'd exist with something like that.
You're entire existing is on shaky legal grounds. It's only because of the state that you live in that you can live on your own, in others you would not be granted such privilege. Even still, wizards, the ones that are supposed to help people like you, have so much power over you. If the mage your supposed to visit for potions, someone you're technically paying to see, decides you aren't fit to live alone you lose that right, if they think you need a spell cast on you or a potion given to to "help" with your fae traits there's little you can do to resist. And if they decide you're enough of a harm to yourself, or to someone else (but in your case it's always yourself) they could send you somewhere very dark, somewhere you would only leave if they took mercy on you.
You've been dressing in a stereotypically fae manner more, and using more accommodations. You don't know why but it makes you feel good. You went to a protest the other day, dressed in traditional faerie robes, you got to actually use your magic to fend off a group of counterprotesters, mesmerizing them with illusions, and sending the crows and hornets to your aid. They looked afraid of you and it made you euphoric, you've been seen as a victim for so long, it feels so euphoric to be a monster for once...

Intellectually disabled people are allowed to have relationships
My partner is intellectually disabled. She doesn't have the highest support needs, but they are still there. I am both her partner and a kind of parental figure. She is kinky and she wants to kind of mix the two together and that is her active choice, but for the most part I am platonically her parental figure. She is 27 i am 30. She has a history of csa. I am one of the only people she's had that has helped her to genuinely improve her mental health. She is a person. She is allowed to have relationships. I am not inherently predatory for dating her. And I am not a predator. She just has support needs that I can fill. Don't tell me she can only be helped by a therapist, and I shouldn't support her. She is going to therapy. When you see an intellectually disabled person dating someone, don't assume that they are being preyed upon. Actually see if they are and then act. To assume because someone is mentally disabled that that means they cannot have relationships is just abelism. To assume intellectually disabled people are puritan and cannot have kinks, INCLUDING THOSE THAT INVOLVE THEIR DISABILITY is abelism and infantilizing. Intellectually disabled people who have a younger mental age ARE NOT CHILDREN. Look out for them, protect them, care for them, stop them from being preyed upon, but do not overwrite their decisions unless you actually see someone prey upon them.

>fanart comic of Rouge saying she needs to babysit Tails for Sonic, because Tails is eight
>lazy "Shadow is always beating up Tails" joke
It is taking all of my self discipline to resist reblogging this post with aggressive criticisms lol
Tails owns and lives alone in a fucking house. He has multiple workshops. He can fly a plane drive a car and pilot a SPACE SHIP. He has fought Eggman a genocidal tyrant who wants to conquer the world and defeated him SINGLE HANDEDLY multiple times.
And Shadow has never. Ever. EVER raised so much as a hand against Tails. If anything it seems apparent that Shadow has a sincere respect for Tails and is at his beck and call if we take the Tailstube videos as indications.
This fucking fanart from people who clearly do not actually play the games, and probably only just watch Sonic X IF EVEN THAT and likely are just subsuming themselves into the franchise through fandom osmosis, literally frustrate me from the bottom of my heart. Fanart that gets thousands of likes and reblogs, and it's just bullshit that exists based on and perpetuates itself off of misconceptions.
I cannot see shit like this as anything but an active insult to the franchise and its characters.
Oh and figures it's an artist who draws Rouge with a weird stupid leaf nose and adds weird extra shit to Shadows character design which don't exist in any version of the character -_- because these characters designs as created by Sonic Team aren't good enough, obviously.
"fan"art created by people who obviously have no affection for the video games in their heart whatsofuckingever.

i’m sorry, not to be a hater and ruin people’s fun or whatever, but i kind of feel like leaning into the infantilizing language of “certain spoon good / bad” is actually not good for neurodiverse communities. that really makes us sound like toddlers who can’t decide which utensil we want to use instead of like, actual grown adults with real hindrances to our lives caused by the ways that our brains work. i really don’t care about a literal eating utensil.

I'm sick of people assuming I'm a kid. Like literally everyone that doesn't know me thinks I'm a kid and half the people that do know me treat me like a kid. I can't escape it. It's not my fault a mixture of trauma and neurodivergentsy has made me unable to properly communicate. It's not my fault I look younger then I am. It's not my fault I act childish at times. Like seriously, treat me like the adult I am and don't assume my girlfriend is my mother
#infantalism#autistic#vent#im an adult#not a kid#dont ask my one year older then me girlfriend if she's my mother while I'm standing right there#Better yet don't ask my one year older then me girlfriend if she's my mother at all#ableism

kmnjbhvghh struggling with feelings of infantalization but i'm unable to confront the person about it because i cant tell whether or not im misinterpreting their statements
im an adult, i just have anxiety im capable of being in charge of things, i can handle confrontation im not 6 years old. Wish id stop getting treated as such esp in public, hurts more when no one stands up for me

Why is everybody talking to me like I'm a fucking Infant. I know I'm not the smartest but you don't need to talk to me like I'm fucking mentally challenged in that way.
It's so fucking annoying and degrading in the not sexy way I literally can not anymore. I'm about to turn fucking 16, which is no adult i know, but I can buy alcohol and I don't care how much it takes I WILL get drunk for every time someone talks to me like I'm fucking three years old.

"Astynax (the infant) was quiet and didn't cry when Odysseus was holding him and was even smiling and reaching out for him, because Odysseus was wearing his helmet, so he must have thought it was his father, Hector, picking him up."

yeahhhh so chirin's first death wasnt even violent or dramatic they just had an anxiety induced loss of appetite and once the adrenaline from their crusade and fight against leshy wore off they starved to death lmao.
