Oh! to be with them! to see them once again! To purchase that boon, she would willingly forfeit all the rest of her existence.

I don’t have nightmares anymore. More exactly, I destroyed them. Got chill with them? Depends how you want to look at it xd.

I guess that still get dreams people would call ’nightmares’, I just don’t view them as such. There was a time in my teenhood where I just. Learned to instinctively know dream vs reality (very important survive skill when you’re overly creative and anxious xd). So I just got very very chill with anything happening in dream. It’s like virtual reality action or adventure movie. Some part of my brain just know it can’t hurt me, even if i’m not in lucid dream state, and so it’s just one more adventure to play with.

I mean i do die. But i just get reborn again. I do get caught. But then you need to be caught to have something to escape from. I do get rather gory stuff sometimes. But pain just doesn’t exist in dream so it’s just an interesting if slightly off putting science experiment. I do get sad, or wake up with a bitter taste in my mouth. But then a movie can make me feel the same way, and I still learnt something about myself through it.

So I love my ’nightmares’. They’re always interesting XD

i appreciate the attempts a lot of game devs are making with gender neutral character creation, and i appreciate that it's actually a very difficult task to implement that depending on the game's base code. but it's so funny to me when you hear an uproar because some game has "entirely removed the gender option from character creation!!!!!" so you go to check it out and its just like

Concept: Peter actually got bitten by a totally normal spider. It's just a coincidence that his mutant powers were awakened around the same time

This makes SO much sense. And anyone who says that the studios can’t possibly know what their streaming numbers are is lying to themselves.

How do they know there’s enough people watching to support a rise in subscription prices? How do they know which series are performing better than others? The information they have at their fingertips, once disseminated out into the public space, will make the CEOs want to run and hide.

Sincerely,

A union costumer

agree to pay your workers fairly and the strikes will end, it’s that easy you greedy shits!

man I wish people understood how much it sucks ass to be neurodivergent and trying to find the middle ground where people like/tolerate you. like, I'm either "boring" (trying to wait my turn in conversations, holding space for other people, taking a back seat to let others get some spotlight) or "too much" (too loud/talking too much, getting excited to share, trying to participate in group conversations/activities). No one really talks about how much of being neurodivergent is just sort of trying to make yourself palatable.

I feel like so much of my life has been spent trying to find this effortless sort of middle ground everyone else seems to automatically already know, and I'm always swinging too far one way or the other. I'm lucky to have neurodivergent friends who grok me, but goddamn I wish that I could just like, exist without the constant background script in my brain that's like "you're being too loud. You're not talking enough. you're being self-centered. you're being boring. you're wrong, you're wrong, you're wrong." I feel like I'm back in high school trying to make friends but stuck as the eternal "weird kid"

it's just... lonely and sucks bad.

Little Stan getting manipulated by Bill has excellent angst potential but consider.

Stanley just, keeps tricking Bill. Because Bill would definitely massively underestimate Stanley and how far he’ll go to protect Ford (like in the actual show). We also know Stanley has the street smarts between the twins and could absolutely tell Bill is full of it.

And because Bill would absolutely loose his mind if he kept getting foiled by a snot nosed eight year old that isn’t even supposed to be here

I like to think that he doesn’t even try that hard he just does not even care about bill

lived my whole life in guilt bc i thought i was responsible for people's feelings. newly realizing that other people are responsible for their feelings and reactions, even if they make it seem like i'm the problem. a lot of the time it really has to do w them and their own emotional regulation. i can't keep thinking i'm not allowed to have space bc of other people's insecurities. like i literally refuse to dim myself. other people are responsible for their feelings just as i'm responsible for mine.

Yeah, Kris is definitely NOT alright.
