#insensitive family

[anxietyfrappuccino]

i've had bad dreams, one including death, another including the guy who harassed my mom and i a few months back

i drop the phone i've had for only a week, it cracks on the inside

my friend decides to say homophobic shit in front of me , then asked me if i had questions

my family doesn't give a shit about my boundaries

i go to a white holiday dressed as a mexican fiesta

i throw the finger at a physical representation of the patriarchy but turns out it wasn't my best idea

my family doesn't give a shit continued, but mainly by my sister

white holiday celebration continues

i got shushed and it hurt my heart so i left the room

i still can't go anywhere without other people bec i'm mentally fucked

i am angry with god when our relationship was just getting good/better

in conclusion i am an angry cat in human form and i have no where to direct my emotions i need therapy help

i'm sensitive to certain songs, or certain types of songs, but does my sister fucking care? no

150 years ago, a boy was born to my great-great grandmother. And that was the last time that happened anywhere on my maternal line until my son was born in 2016. This is a story about intersex people.

For 150 years, the women of my family kept having daughters, who either also had daughters, or they were oddly unable to have children. Strange quirk, we assumed. No boys.

In the late 1970s, my mother’s sister had a daughter with Down Syndrome. Genetic testing was done, and it was discovered that although she looked female, she actually possessed the male XY chromosome combination. Her sister was born three years later. And because of that genetic concern, her genes were checked. And she possessed … the XY chromosomes. A third daughter, born a few years later, possessed the usual XX.

Keeping in the tradition, my mother had two daughters. Because of our cousins’ genetic conditions, my sister and I were both checked. Both of us appeared typically XX. And so for more than thirty years, it was dismissed as a quirk, and no one said the word intersex because that wasn’t a thing in 1980.

In 2014 I had a son, breaking the chain of girls. It was an interesting story! I then had two daughters, and didn’t bother to do any genetic checking.

And then in 2020 my sister became pregnant. Early genetic testing said boy, XY. Twenty week anatomy scan said girl. Definitely 100% girl. Uhhh?! As expected, she*** was born genetically male, possessing only male gonads in the form of undescended testes, but female external genitalia.

It was Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, a genetic mutation carried on the X chromosome. See, all bodies start female. Then, when the hormonal influence of the Y chromosome kicks in, instructions on the X are supposed to detect the testosterone and create male genitalia. Except a person with AIS is non-reactive to testosterone, and the body stays, at least superficially, female. Genetic check would say boy. Presence of testes says boy. Pants check says girl. Making the question of sex (sex. Gender is something else, ok?) distinctly complicated.

If someone has a mother who is a carrier of AIS, there are 4 possibilities. Unaffected XY, and so genetically and structurally male. Affected XY, and so intersex. Affected XX, and so a female carrier. Unaffected XX female and entirely unaffected.

My grandmother was a carrier. My aunt and mother are carriers. My sister is a carrier. When my niece was born, my single non-intersex cousin and I did genetic testing. And we are both carriers as well. My son is an unaffected XY male. My niece is affected XY intersex. Both my cousin and I also have 2 daughters each. And, because it is medically and psychologically relevant, we had them tested. All XX.****

And I was ready to check one more thing: are my daughters carriers? There is a 50/50 chance. And then I stopped, because they are preschoolers, and that is their reproductive decision. They know three intersex people. And if they care, someday they can check their genes and the odds that my grandchildren will be intersex. The intersex people they know will, I hope, be able to talk to them about the beauty of their lives as one of the wonderful variations of humanity.

thank you thank you I'll be here all day

jeff … can you drop the restraining order please jeff think of the children (me)

[nocofamilyau]

id like to see how you tackle mikes DID in a... yk... less problematic way :P my thought is that during the adoption process he went through a lot of trauma then developed DID and his alters later on? I dunno. what are your thoughts?

I mean, it'll be interesting to say the least.. I mean, I don't have DID, I don't know anyone with DID, but I'll try to be as considerate about how I portray it, like I won't put any reset buttons anywhere ill tell ya that

what im thinking is that Mikes bio parents were shit, like they were both alcoholics or something, and the only family member around that was capable enough to take care of him was his grandpa, but yknow he was old and had a lot of health problems. Chester showed up when mike was suddenly sent into foster care after his grandpa died, guess that makes the most sense..

Svetlana was caused from older foster kids bullying him (he was usually the runt of the litter)

Manitoba was purely an escapism thing, like when he was little he was really into adventurer/wildlife shows (probably still is now)

idk maybe Vito comes later (I got a comment on another post saying that Mike could have got Vito from accidentally drinking beer thinking it was soda and I thought it was fucken funny,, like I can kinda see that happening like at a friends pool party or something lol but idk if that might come off as a bit insensitive) but idk what ideas id have for him

I like to think Mal doesn't exist in this au, no shit on him I just don't know how he'd fit into something like this

probably non-canon scene #1

“[Danny] cursed all of Father’s Batsuits. Every time Father wears one, it transforms. So far we have recorded him dressed as Hatsune Miku, a head of lettuce, a bedsheet ghost, Lego Superman, the hockey mascot ‘Gritty’, and a rainbow trout.”  --Damian

i’m like solidly upper middle class i attended a very bougie private liberal arts college before dropping out and i would not have the resources to move to LA to be a pop star without a backup plan after going to the most expensive music camp in the country as a teen and only THEN coming out as queer bc i literally live in LA… this is a girl who clearly comes from money and she claimed to have lived in a trailer park up until she really blew up and it got quietly removed from her wikipedia page. and there r still people who buy her whole trailer park white trash queen shtick and see her as a working class pop star For the People

[ahappyphjl]

i’m shocked. what the fuck is going on.

TRICK OR TREAT 😖🙌

happy halloween!! 🎃👻✨ as a treat, i'll write you a few revalink halloween hcs~

link would insist on going trick or treating even as adults, but it's because he looks so young he can pass as a teenager. revali can pretend to be his adult chaperone maybe LMAO

they could do so many couples costumes, but i'm thinking about playboy bunny link x hugh hefner revali because i was talking to my coworker the other day about how her bf wanted to be the bunny and she ended up being hugh hefner and i thought it was funny af

revalink pumpkin patch date 🥺🥺🥺 thinking ab revali posting pics of their date on his instagram later and it's all just candids of link looking effortlessly beautiful, glowing amongst the pumpkins, and also a few 0.5 shots of him and the both of them.

link carving fucking starry night van gogh into a pumpkin vs. revali making the dumb ahh punking meme

i think that revali would actually very fond of giving out candy to kids who are trick-or-treating 🥹

while link wouldn't even flinch at the scariest horror movies or them park jumpscares, revali is screaming before the scare actors even look at him

revali thinks candy corn is the work of the devil; link will eat all the candy corn they receive anyway

the way i rewatch any part of rottmnt and once again come away from canon leo wondering where the actual heck are people getting this “oohhhh he only thinks he’s good for self sacrifice or as a tool, he has absolutely zero self worth whatsoever” instead of the canon version who’s kind of a manipulative lil stinker and KNOWS he has stuff to bring to the table but isn’t sure how to be Seen

it’s not that he thinks he’s worthless or not wanted. i fuckin promise you that about rise leo. he does not seriously think he is unloved or unwanted or ~one mistake away from being dropped by his own family~ or whatever

what he IS is rejection-sensitive in the way that makes any time he fails feel like the end of the world to HIM (setting aside that time he messed up and it did literally trigger the near-apocalypse and near deaths of him and his family lol), so he’d rather not try than risk messing up

for these past couple of days since the news came out i've been thinking and there are quite a few things that mean the world to me - shadowhunters, teen wolf, DC shows (supergirl, the flash, the legends of tomorrow, arrow), the maze runner - mainly because they're such a huge part of my entire childhood and middle school life that i'm still so nostalgic about.

HOWEVER, one direction has always been a lot more special than the others, simply because my entire fangirl life started with and because of them yk?? the very first fanfiction i read was one direction one, the very first fanfiction i wrote myself was one direction one, the reason why i created my very first twitter fan account (which then led me to finding quite a lot important people in my life later on, including my best friend) back in 2020 account was because of one direction. basically everything you need to do at first to consider yourself a fangirl, in my experience, was because of one direction. and they, all five of them, have meant and always will mean a lot to me.

give us more unpopular opinions king

Anon, I will have you known if I spoke up about all of my unpopular opinions this fandom would have me hanging from the gallows by the end of the night.

That said here's one: it's not Shiho who should be nicer to Shizuku actually. I think Shizuku needs to respect Shiho's boundaries in fact. For once

Steph on a desperate quest to get Damian to unwillingly incorporate informal gotham-isms into his speech by using "jabroni" in every other sentence

[aro-culture-is]

aro culture is seeing some people joke about how in a show some girl looked like she would start making out with her brother because she was being extremely affectionate towards him after he (wait for this) almost died. and just. not finding it funny.
