#its the dicotamy for me

[weaponizedhorse]

Can I just add to the jaida post? How can someone develop thick skin that has affected in 4 four years, and got worse now, when its something you had for your whole life? And black women have double the struggle because their feminity is judged by it inside and outside their community and just in general have such a spiritual and emotional connection to it because of the discrimination that just this year became illegal to be done in work places. Chris Rock wack as fuck for all that in multiple levels beyond just ableism.

Exactly!! And I can't speak extensively to the black part obviously but I have been dealing with my medical condition since I was 10 and while I think I have a pretty thick skin and can deal with everyday ableism if someone got on stage and made fun of it infront of the world I would fucking lose it.

Teeth and hair are so so important in our culture and I would assume especially so for black women who already have to deal with the bullshit "your not pretty enough"

I have this weird dicotamy inside of "we probably shouldn't hit people" but also "that would not have been an open hand if it came from me"

AND Chris rock made that hair documentary so he knows how important it is. The amount of people I saw like "well I had to develop a thick skin so she should too" no!! How about you should not have had to develop a thick skin!! Cause people should not have made fun of you for things you can't control!!

bro i cant believe it took me this long to read diver but???? its exquisit. his characterization is so!!! its such a interesting aspect of his character, that dicotamy of surety and uncertanty. and the repeated idea of stepping back/teetering on the edge is so well weaved through. also bokuto!? unsung hero of this fic, youre so right he's got that bluntness thats almost too perceptive +

+ and their dynamic! of being the opposite and the same... for a fic so centered on tipping over the edge, they balance eachother out so nicely. and the ending how he just Gets it... makes me softttt 💕
