*grips your shoulders* an eight year old is not gonna act like that. put the pen down. close the laptop. stop writing for a minute. volunteer at a daycare center for a week or smth. an eight year old is typically (unless they're purposely doing it, but at that point you'll be able to tell) not going to speak in one word sentences. that is a child with a possible developmental delay and should probably get an assessment done. that is a two year old with an MLU score of 2.0 who is struggling with their present possessive verbs. look up the average heights of an eight year old because i promise they're bigger than that.

if your six year old is still doing reduplicated babbling and it's not clearly an on purpose active play decision, then they should probably (re: REALLY) undergo evaluation because one of the first signs of a developmental delay is delayed speech. children begin speaking in two word utterances as young as 18 months old. three year olds on average can hold simple conversations with adults. four year olds absoLUTELy can.

i know it's super fun to write children as being dependent and clingy to their parent for your super fluffy found family child fic but that is not a six year old that is a worryingly large two year old with a mild speech delay. you don't have to be 1:1 accurate, god knows i'm not but please at least know that children on average are capable of holding simple conversations by the time they're 4, and are usually doing the baby talk stuff to be cute or as a play thing. which isn't a bad thing but if they're talking like that unironically and ALL the time, then there is likely a problem in their development.

I’m addicted, like a drug, something instinctual beneath the skin I can’t control. I need another taste, just one sip, a small bite, I’m begging you

I’m so pathetic for this terrible addiction of mine, but you know what it is I desire, I may just eat you alive ~

Update I am in fact likely not allergic to apples themselves but instead something added to apples sold at stores where I live. Rejoice

(mgv) if house needs touch for his pre-heat to soothe his antsy hindbrain, wilson will find particular joy in scratching his chin. house never outright asks for it if he can help it, the touch, but wilson's pretty good at reading him and figuring out what he needs. and chin scratches are his favorite because it's like house's weak spot. yknow, besides the other bigger stuff. he'll press further into wilson's hand, his good leg bouncing (one time wilson did standing chin scratches and house almost ate shit so this is a sit-down activity), and start purring once the endorphins kick in. the closer to house's heat, the more likely he'll have to have his held up by wilson by the end of it. it's such a far cry from house normally to let himself enjoy something good for him so wilson tries to keep the teasing to a minimum even though the temptation to do so is so very strong

It's that "spend hours sobbing my eyes out in bed for several reasons, including but not limited to the fact tomorrow is Monday, the fact my social battery has been completely drained and won't recover anytime soon, the fact my landlady is due to show up tomorrow evening and will likely piss me off again, the fact I've had the urge to write since Friday and ended up not writing even a single fucking word, the fact exam pressure keeps rising and I still don't know what to do with my life after I'm done with school, and the fact I'm both completely overwhelmed and so terribly lonely at the same time" kind of Sunday evenings

I want to scream at this show so often. I swear the writers find any excuse to twist it around so Castle is in the wrong even when he's not, and it's always under the guise of some kind of weird girl power logic. Like Martha basically only exists after season 2 to tell Rick he's always wrong when it comes to Beckett because he doesn't understand women, or something.

The fact is, that has nothing to do with it. Kate lied to Rick's face. She knew the interview was a big deal, and knew it could have ramifications for their relationship, and instead of telling him and even giving him the chance to be happy for her and supportive, instead of doing this together as a couple, she just assumed he wouldn't support her (with zero evidence to suggest that outcome, I might add) and not only kept it from him, but actively lied to him about it until she got caught out.

This isn't about Rick having selfish or unrealistic expectations of their relationship or demanding Kate put him first in everything. This is about Kate projecting her own fear of commitment onto Rick from the beginning and acting like that's his fault when he has gone out of his way for years to make her feel safe and secure in their relationship. This is about her not considering him at all, and then turning it around like he's being selfish when he has a problem with that.

I love this show and these characters. I do. But I hate the writers' weird "Rick is always wrong and must be led to the truth like a newborn calf by the women in his life" schtick. If that were true he wouldn't be worthy of those women at all!

Ironically, I actually opened tumblr to say that I asked a friend why he was doing X since it so obviously made him miserable, and he said he was doing it for my sake. If we had been speaking in person I don't think I could have stopped myself from yelling at him. Instinct inherited from long-distant ancestors told me to bite him.

As it was, I said "don't do that" and because it was in writing he could not hear me resisting the urge to kill him with my teeth.

It's both a relief and kind of bemusing, in situations like this, when my response is seen as compassionate rather than bloodthirsty. Seeing someone interpret as reassurance something I half-intended as a threat. But if it works, it works.

This is sumn that’s really been bothering me for a couple years now as a real life trans person living life as a trans person. (Because discourse online obviously fails to grasp the reality that trans/cis people are actually living in)

I’ve begun to slowly resent and pushback against the respectability politics of identity politics. Misgendering people isn’t inherently “disrespectful”, it’s just incorrect. You aren’t inherently disrespecting me by mistaking me for a girl. You are disrespecting me if you intentionally misgender me, but first and foremost, you are just calling me something that I am not.

Because now look at where we are. Arguing with people about whether or not it’s “ok” to misgender others as long as the “disrespect” is intentional or fuckin whatever…. Repackaging transphobia to make it easier to swallow and I’m so fucking sick of it.

Misgendering people is wrong. Period. Respect is a nonsequitur.

hey full offense but the ‘use the right pronouns even if the person is horrible!’ statements arent made to coddle horrible ppl, its saying ‘dont view correct pronouns as a fucking privilege that can be taken away once people decide you’ve fucked up enough’, misgendering someone on purpose is transphobic no matter what bc it equates transphobia as a ‘punishment’ for bad people, pronouns are a part of baseline human respect, its that simple

Trying out infinity niki

It is scoring much higher than the otome games I've been trying as boy-collectors in terms of it's much easier for me to pretend that niki is actually one of my OCs

Now I just need to find a spider/web themed outfit for them to rock their drow self
