#rest is a practice

[lary-the-lizard]

I’ve seen a few posts say “your disability is worse/nonexistent because all you do is lay around at home, doing nothing” or something along those lines. It’s really strange seeing that on my socials because I’m so not about that sermon. It’s also very strange to me that someone would feel like they could make a claim about someone else’s experience or current life situation. Every person’s experience is so nuanced and interwoven that narrowing down why someone does or feels something to even a few things is audacious. Our bodies are constantly doing thousands of things and all of it takes energy and that includes working through and around the different traumas and scars our mindbodies have. Each person has different needs emotionally and physically as well as different moral codes and goals. On top of that, people live with different societal responsibilities and oppressions, live in different environments, have different ways of processing. Tell another person why the way THEY are dealing with THEIR situation is wrong like, do you hear yourself? This is not to say that you should not give someone advice or offer suggestions but it is to say that you do not know what will solve someone else’s problems and do not know what it is like to be them and to think their reason for being the way they are is invalid is idiotic.

Our society is bad at rest so we are always tired. When we have days off we spend those days cleaning, checking social medias, working out, catching up on dramas, working outside etc and that is NOT resting for most of us. So by the time the weekend or vacation is over we are still tired. Sometimes we are so behind in our rest that we get sick or it takes days of barely doing anything “responsible” to start feeling human again. For many autistic and mentally ill people just being in a workplace surrounded by people is beyond exhausting because we’re constantly masking and doing the actual work our jobs hired us for while holding off mental breakdowns. So any time off isn’t just rest, it’s our minds healing themselves. Which takes more energy than resting does. And to be clear, mental exhaustion takes physical energy, it literally burns calories, you become tired because the effort to perform “normal” behavior is strenuous work. While all of this is going on, we are made to feel bad for not having something going on at all times whether that be the news in the background, a project you’re working on at home, a podcast, or something while also keeping up with your home duties. So to turn away from all of that and just sleep and eat and watch something silly and play with your cat is monumental effort but actually what you need to rest.

Was looking at refs and since Viktor has two different leg braces I was wondering, do we think he wears them simultaneously?? The refs don't perfectly line up perspective-wise so it's hard to tell but parts of the one he wears during the Hexcore scenes look like they could maybe line up with the brace that he wears over his clothes, but also some parts really don't and look like they'd be super uncomfy. Also HOW does he take these on and off. Experts weigh in

Okay so Danny gets adopted by Bruce. Yeah? Yeah.

And they don't know about his powers? Obviously. We know this part of the story.

BUT. On a casual trip out for food or whatever, Danny and some of the bat sibs get cornerd by reporters and paparazzi. There panicking bec danny JUST got here and they haven't had time to breif him on how to interact with the media and he's totally gonna flounder and they need to help him before he totally flubs it!

Exept, he doesn't. He smiles, nice and bright, into the camra. He waits patiently for each reporter to ask their questions and then answers confidently, giving them something walst acctually answering nothing. "Where are you from?" "A small town, I'm sure you wouldn't know it but, really, it's about where I am now."How did you come to be adopted by bruce?"Well, I look quite a bit like my new brothers, don't you think? Haha. I like to think it was meant to be."

And on and on he gose, dancing around them, shareing professionally worded jokes and calmly addressing eatch person as they viyed for his attention, controlling the flow of conversation.

The bat kids all look at eatchother.

This kids been media trained.

"Heavens, he doesn't understand again." "Every time he says 'I don't understand', Lui-shixiong grabs someone to demonstrate until he understands..." Ji Jue quietly complained to Shang Qinghua. No wonder the injuries at Bai Zhan Peak had only increased!

so this is obviously Liu Qingge's entire love language, right?

Red Robin Writing Prompt

Tim only told Jason that Jason had been cleaning up Gotham the ‘easy way’ is because Tim knows for a fact how easy killing is. He had his first kill before he was even 7 years old.

No one realizes this until Joker makes Tim “choose” between shooting one of two batfam members and Tim just picks up the gun without hesitation and shoots the Joker in just the right spot for it to be fatal but for it to not be an instant death.

Tim turns to Jason, “Like I said: Easy way out.”
