#seeing it irl was jarring

I can’t look at that video from the other night and not think Jack and Alex haven’t hooked up before. Jack looks ready to swallow him whole 😂

Bro, look. I joke and kid a lot, but that video was something fucking else. There are times when Jack gives Alex legit heart eyes (and vice versa) but that was absolutely an I-want-to-tie-you-down-and-fuck-you horny look. Like there’s no other way to describe it. Ready to swallow him whole seems correct, though. Lmfao.

POV: You’re staring at the oddly dressed cafe regular next to your table

This started out as a quick thing to try out a new colouring technique! While figuring out what to draw, I found myself really wanting to see Rollo at a cafe… He looked mildly pleased when mentioning the Mostro Lounge in his voice line, so that has to mean something- right??? And he is a coffee drinker!

No thank you.

I think that mayonnaise is a heinous excuse for a food and the only way I tolerated mayonnaise machines in game was knowing that I would never accidently slurp the white slime down my pixelated throat.

On the subject of "People don't really like pwTrauma/Mental Illness," people's "activism" is so fucking transparent. Characters like Steven Grant are praised and coddled because his mental illness is cute and uwu look at his little bear paws aw he's so nervous vs character like Marc Spector are perceived as "bad" because he's a liar or rude or violent. Or on the other side, the "Marc has never done anything wrong, he's just a wet cat" people who attribute all of Marc's violence to Khonshu.

You can like Steven and think he's endearing and also acknowledge he called Marc a parasite and punched Marc after seeing their trauma.

You can like Marc and recognize he is a liar and is extremely guarded because of trauma. You can recognize he likely only became a mercenary because he was kicked out of the army and it was likely his only option while also acknowledging that he killed people.

Matt Murdock is a depressed man who lies and manipulates his friends and is also an earnest person who wants to protect his community.

Jessica Jones is an alcoholic to pushes everyone away but she gives a shit.

Wanda Maximoff was so hurt and lost her grief exploded and created a fantasy where she could be with her husband and have kids.

None of these characters are good or bad. They're people. And sometimes, people with trauma are assholes. People with trauma are bad friends sometimes. They can be manipulative, liars, clingy, insecure, aggressive, and violent. But guess what. Acknowledging the times they're "problematic" is not an attack on the character nor is it stigmatizing.

But, if you hate a character for exhibiting behaviors typically associated with pwmental illness, maybe you're not as good of a person as you claim to be.

I think one of the biggest generation divides that's hard to explain to the teens and youngest adults of today is how different things were before smart phones and social media became such a huge thing. Like even I forget sometimes, and I was a teen in the mid to late 2000s. But your "online life" was this thing that was kept much more separate from your "irl" life for most people back then, and cell phones were not the same thing as digital cameras or a window to the worldwide web. If you were on social media pre-Facebook in the early/mid 2000s you were on something like MySpace, and a lot of times people only interacted with strangers on there, not the people they already knew (that came later when Facebook became a thing). Going on the internet was also very tied to access to a desktop computer, so a lot of times you were using something like the shared family computer to get online, and your dad's digital camera to take a selfie (which was called "being a camera whore/attention whore" or taking a "MySpace pic", no such word as selfie yet lol). You'd use social media to talk to someone from some other part of the world, but it wasn't the main way you socialized with any of your irl friends (except for on MSN Messenger, which is where lots of people in the 2000s chatted with their pals from school after they got home etc)

The difference in how I was treated as a child versus how I'm treated as an adult when I'm crying feels ridiculous and backwards.

As a child, if I was upset or crying, clearly it was a sign there was something wrong with me; normal kids wouldn't cry over being bullied. Normal kids wouldn't be bullied. Maybe I should just try being Less Weird and Less Sensitive, and stop disrupting the class with my crying. "Don't go crying to the teacher, tattletale". And even if I did go to the teacher, well, if the other kids didn't like me, then clearly I was the troublemaker and clearly I should be punished for it. I just needed to suck it up, toughen up, and stop doing things that set off the other kids (like daring to exist as an autistic child).

Now, as an adult, people pull out all the stops with the sympathy. "Who did this to you?" "Is there anything I can do? Anything at all? Do you want a hug? Tissues? Would you like to go somewhere quiet and cool off?"

It's so unfair. As a child I needed that reassurance, I needed that sympathy. As an adult, yeah, it's nice, and I appreciate it, but I also have years of life experience buoying me and have had much worse days behind me. I'm in a better place right now to handle the kind of mistreatment I got as a child. Yes it would still suck. Yes it would still be wrong. But I am a grown adult with coping mechanisms and not a vulnerable child.

Maybe part of it is how I did end up learning how to mask. I still come off as a little weird or eccentric, and I still refuse to conform to many gender norms, but because I can be stuffed more-or-less into the box of "sweet little white girl," people feel they should protect me, where as a child, I wasn't seen as sweet, just weird. I wasn't accepted as a girl, because I was too boyish and weird, and I wasn't accepted as a boy either, because I was still too girly, and the grown-ups HATED it when I tried to be 'one of the boys' even on the occasions the boys DID accept me.

Like, okay, great. I now appear neurotypical and allistic ENOUGH to get that privilege. I now appear (cis)feminine ENOUGH to get that privilege. Never mind how I'm constantly on-guard to keep myself small enough to fit into those boxes, and how there's sometimes dysphoria involved in that.

That doesn't erase years of being an outsider. It just makes the contrast starker. Why did I have to be treated that way as a child? Why are so many OTHER people STILL treated that way?

Hi dear, I was diagnosed with Optic Neuritis yesterday and I struggle to wake up for work today. Everything that I'm trying to see is in double and I can barely read a single word. Seeing your post regarding (tw) MS and Optic Neuritis makes me feel less lonely.

Just stumbled upon your profile and turned out you do F1 blogging as well. ;)

I'm really sorry you're going through that and I'm more glad than i can put into words that this clowny blog made you feel less lonely.

if its any consolation, it gets better. it'll never stop being painful or difficult but you will be better.
