This is a small paragraph from 'Small Things Like These' (Claire Keegan).

As a parent of 2 neurodivergent children, this is literally my mind every day. When they cover their ears to the sound of a car; when they strip off their shoes and clothes the minute they can; when they gag at the smells and textures of food and drinks; when they cannot muster a single word for people they've known all their lives.

Life update: my current rental is now up for sale so I have had to spend the last 3 weeks juggling finances, work, parenting and usual life style with house viewings, cleaning, clearances and chasing paperwork. Have now managed to find a lovely place for the family for obviously more money but gotta live right??

My son is in his last year of infant school in a mainstream meeting and we have been trying to secure a placement at a specialist school which looked to be heading towards a tribunal and appeal process but the local authority have decided not to contest and in September, he will have a place at the school we named. Which is amazing news and a huge weight off my mind. Something no parent of SEN child should have to fight for!

I am tired, my 'gameface' is starting to slip as I've had to juggle everyone's anxieties and emotional responses to these situations. Definitely feeling burnout and that I could snap at any given moment, especially when conversations have been had around stuff that really isn't important.

I absolutely need a small break away for just me.

[lemmeaskthedevil]

theres a difference between toxic masculinity and like Eddie unlearning the type of life he has to live. Like hes not living for himself because he's boxed himself in to others expectations (which is a part of masculinity and just society in general?) and tht happens to be a traditional masculine life but he does not hold any toxic values

[senkamikakushi]

my day be so fine then boom I start thinking about the work culture of spirited away and all the implications that it brings

【KHR】 Xanxus + KHR Misc Rambles 🔥🍷

Mainly KHR and Xanxus related rambles.

(Put the rest of the rambles of this under the cut)

(KHR: VARIA ARC SPOILERS)

Fandom wikis are a disaster tho cuz I remember seeing people put fucking. Nonsense fanfic theories on Xanxus' wiki page, which is just???

But I would still love to create and add wiki pages for LimGuda, JuAli, KuroEne, IdaTatsu

We work hard in niche popular ship and rare pair city!!! 💖✨

I have a thing for settling into niche popular (ie. LimGuda) and rare pair ships (ie. XanLena, JuAli, KuroEne, IdaTatsu) 💖

If only to spread the word for them 📸💥

...

Why are people putting their shitty speculations/theories into Xanxus' wiki page bruh.

This isn't even canon, just speculation.

C: OH YEAH THE WIKI IS LIKE THAT LMAO

Pretty sure somewhere in the wiki is a bit that says Shamal raised Gokudera 💀

Me: Dr. Shamal's whole concept is just so. Fuck off.

Like no Amano we did not need a (minor character) sexual harasser pervert man misogynist that constantly sexually harasses women (including underage girls 💀)

And he refuses to treat men as an adult doctor cuz he dislikes men & thinks he'll get the cooties.

Dr. Shamal /neg /derogatory 🚮

"Put in litter" emoji!!! 🚮🚮🚮

I still hate how Dr. Shamal is supposed to be the "Role model" figure for Gokudera just cuz his own ass father basically abandoned him

C: Xanxus' wiki page wtf

????

What are they smokinggg

Me: RIGHT LIKE WHO THE FUCK IS PUTTING THIS SHIT

C: How young was Xanxus when he got taken in?

5? 6?

Me: We never get an age confirmation for when he was taken in by Timoteo (Vongola 9th)

But considering how small kid Xanxus is, I'm just gonna assume anywhere from 5 - 12

C: That's way before any developmental cap

Even assuming Timoteo was such a loving father, he could have probably taught him better and raised him to be different

Me: RIGHT LMAOO

"The kindly Ninth"

Ok /neg

TIMOTEO BEING DESCRIBED AS KIND MAKES ME WANNA GAG HONESTLY

Like no. Timoteo was definitely an emotionally neglective pathetic ass "parent"

He never address his emotional needs or ever find ways to address Xanxus' emotional issues/rage

And even in KHR manga canon he never apologizes for what he did to Xanxus specifically.

(KHR: Varia Arc - Spoilers)

Varia Arc - Xanxus' Backstory

Ok I'll sum this up quickly.

Context: Basically what happens in KHR manga canon is that Xanxus was born in the slums and developed a rare flame, the Flame of Wrath, at an early age, and eventually got taken in by Timoteo (Vongola 9th).

Xanxus was made to believe that he'd be the Vongola 10th boss (and was supported by most of the family, except Timoteo ofc), and his arrogance grew as he got older from being raised on a pedestal.

Timoteo kept the secrets hidden that Xanxus could never be Vongola 10th (assumably cuz he was too distanced from the main bloodline)

Xanxus eventually finds out the secret of the Vongola inheritance and rule by breaking into/melting a locked chamber with his flame.

Enraged that he could never be the successor and at Timoteo for betraying him by keeping the information hidden from him, teen Xanxus eventually gathered the Varia members as his subordinates and started a coup d'état against Vongola 9th (an incident later referred to as the "Cradle Affair")

Xanxus got punished with a fate almost worse than death, Timoteo uses the Dying Will Zero Point Breakthrough technique that essentially freezes him in (magical) ice.

Timoteo never apologizes for (basically) freezing his son in magical ice and just, essentially leaves him there in ice prison. For 8 years.

But to the rest of the Vongola family, this truth was concealed, so it was widely believed he was kept on strict surveillance instead.

In the present KHR plot, 8 years later, Xanxus gets freed by an unknown person, and, when presented/confronted with his traumas that get dug up again, goes off the rails.

Understanding that this is the only way that he could become Vongola 10th boss, when both the Vongola 9th boss (Timoteo), and the chief external advisor (Iemitsu) approved of Tsuna as the Vongola 10th boss successor, Xanxus plots a scheme in his goal to become Vongola 10th boss.

He has Vongola 9th stuffed inside a deadly robot draining at his life force (LMFAO), then sets up the Ring Battles - a tournament style set-up where he and his Varia members will compete against Tsuna and co., to fight for the Vongola Rings, in deadly matches, in order to decide who will become the Vongola 10th boss and Vongola 10th generation guardians.

(KHR: Varia Arc - Ch. 122)

When this relevation is revealed:

Tsuna ends up splitting the robot that Timoteo is inside (unaware that he was trapped inside).

Timoteo only apologizes to Tsuna for "allowing Xanxus to escape [from the ice he was encased/trapped in]"

Timoteo then reaffirms that he chose Tsuna as the Vongola 10th successor, and not Xanxus

And never apologizes to his own son

Like WHY is THAT your priorities. Apologizing for allowing him to escape?

FUCKING HATE THIS MAN SM I CAN'T STAND HIS ASS!!!

LIKE WTF IS THIS

This chara can fuck off so hard honestly

Dawg he reminds me of Il (AkaYona) with how they're both a badly written woobified parent chara framed as sympathetic (completely undeservingly)

...

That was your own teenage son and yet you robbed him of his own agency AND the chance to steer his own life and become a better person.

He lost vital years for growing (8 years...), and it shows in the adult-like composure but teenager-like emotional immaturity that Xanxus has.

It's so needlessly heartless and cruel. As I said, this fate of getting locked away in ice (jail) to be forgotten forever, is almost worse than death.

I'm never gonna get over how fucked up it is in context that Timoteo resolved this sitaution by ice-ing his son.

Reborn's words in the KHR manga also confirm what I initially speculated as well: Timoteo misused the Dying Will Zero Point Breakthrough technique, the freezing ice technique.

It was originally created by Vongola Primo (1st generation Vongola boss) to seal away Dying Will flames.

The Cradle Affair situation could've ended with Timoteo just freezing his hands temporarily.

It's not supposed to be used to FREEZE PEOPLE...

He didn't want to deal with the problems he caused by being a shit ass neglective parent tho, so he just froze Xanxus and kept the ice locked away in chains and metal.

Someone like Reborn, who is privy to many of the Vongola family's secrets, even thought he was kept under surveillance after that (which would've been more reasonable).

KEPT OUT OF SIGHT. KEPT OUT OF MIND. FOR 8 YEARS???

...

The fact that Xanxus was so enraged (both when he was a teen during the Coup, and as an adult now) is so valid honestly.

Vongola 9th getting trapped inside a robot by Xanxus & the Varia is perfect karma lmfao

I'm glad that KHR's framing on its villains/antagonists is mostly neutral, but I really can't stand the way it treats Xanxus' harboured rage/resentment as something he was in the wrong for

Like it's so obvious that he thinks of "love and friendship" as worthless because his views are so obviously affected by his upbringing - he only knows "love" from the worthless man that betrayed him.

Added with the fact that as an assassin leader, the leader of the Varia, a mafia boss, he never would've had the need for the "Feelings first" attitude that Tsuna has. It is wholly unecessary to him.

...

In retrospect, to be "loved" genuinely, is what he (Xanxus) always needed. But he didn't get that. He certainly didn't get it from his shit ass incompetent parent.

Like it framed his harboured resentment and the fact that he was so emotionally broken and riddled with grief and trauma, as something he was in the wrong for (and frames Timoteo as sympathetic).

Which is just... (.) 💀

Magi, which has such a sympathetic and cathartic framing of its antagonist/opposing figure charas, would never do this to me!

Like I agree Xanxus went off the rails overboard (valid of him tho lmfao considering his context) but none of his actions, deserved that kind of fate.

In conclusion, Timoteo can fuck off

...

You (Timoteo) treated him, your own son, like a rabid animal fearful that they'll bite someone, and not an actual person.

He NEVER expresses regret for his actions in what he did to his own son which is so fucked up.

So I can't fucking stand his "warm grandad" side he shows to Tsuna. He never shows it to his own son.

Especially when the way Timoteo is treated in both the Varia arc and later arcs as a warmly grandfatherly figure.

Really feels like Amano's "fix-it" writing in trying to frame and woobify (redeem an asshole chara undeservingly) this series' awful parent charas as "See! He was actually good after all!"

I still don't trust the framing of Timoteo in the Simon arc. Like oh this man finally wants to take responsibility now?

For everything except how he treated his son. Lol.

Pack it up cuz none of Amano's "fix-it" writing could ever make me like this chara (Timoteo)

...

C: LMAO

There's a huge gap in how Timoteo treats Xanxus and how he treats basically everyone else

Me: Dr. Shamal is just 💀

D*E CISHET TRASH!!!

C: Lmfao valid

Me: It was just this before. Which is completely fine

Me: And then all of a sudden in 2023 someone inserted their stupid speculations into his wiki page

C: Bhbhbh fucken cursed

...

(KHR: Varia Arc - Ch. 134 Spoilers)

Also it would just make more sense if Xanxus's verbal tic/habit of saying "trash" or "scum" (カス[ども], Kasu [domo]) came from how, after being taken in, how his arrogance grew as he became older.

Since he looked down on other families and other Vongola Boss candidate successors from branch families, and saw himself as superior cuz he was basically raised on a pedestal after being taken in and was raised to believe that he'd be the 9th boss' successor

...

R: Never trust fandom wikis

C: For real

R: The shipping wiki either 😁

C: LOL

Sounds like a disaster

...

R: YEAHH ;;; shipping wikis are so biased it hurts. Why are you putting a ship that was never confirmed canon as canon 👹

Me: Oh yeah… Since it can be edited by anyone I imagine it can be a mess as well

C: Yeah it seems likely he just started saying it at some point

Ahh yeah. Yeah he really thought he was king of the world

C: Help jsngndfsd

C: It feels like it's trying very hard to make Xanxus' character's tragedy and trauma ONLY his early childhood 😭

To a lot of characters you can apply that they start to use the insults that have been directed at them, but Xanxus just… doesn't feel like that

Because yeah he's arrogant as hell, he thinks he's above everyone.

C: Exactly omg

Me: RIGHT like that's why it bothers me sm…

Xanxus' character tragedy lies in his WHOLE context (ie. His early childhood, the entire Cradle Affair situation)

It's really so insulting to me that it dismisses his character's whole tragedy (in his early childhood and teenage years) while trying to make him come off as some uwu sad boy that was hurt by other people, so now he calls them trash back. That isn't Xanxus.

Dawg if you're at least gonna put fanon speculations can you at least put good ones. LMFAO

Xanxus just doesn't feel like that kind of character. He thinks he's the king of the world, and so, looks down on everyone.

C: Yeaaaaa that's very true

It's just. It's not Xanxus man

C: Yeah

He's simply above everyone

My son, 5, (ASD, probably ADHD) just said he wishes he was born a girl because being a girl would make him happy. 🥺

I'm not sure if this is a "take me seriously" moment or just an 'ism and something he's saying. He does have a trans aunt (born dad's brother). He's never met her, sadly as she lives further away now.

I didn't pressure or ask questions other than why does he feel like that (that's when he said because it would make him happy). Might be something I have to watch and listen to him over if the feelings don't change. I am inclined to believe it's just something he is saying, BUT he has always been quite feminine in many ways and has always preferred girl characters, traditionally feminine toys and clothes, and female company over male company.

Not that that means anything.

I do believe fluidity with gender identity is common with neurodivergent individuals, yes?

Should I be asking him questions, or did I handle this okay?

As Republican-led states like Florida continue to target marginalized groups through legislation, a Black Florida state Senator is calling out his ultra-conservative colleagues. From limiting discussions of race in the classroom and launching a war on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), to silencing LGBTQ+ students, Sen. Shevrin Jones is sounding the alarm.

Speaking about bills that have passed in Florida following the nationwide uprising for racial justice in the wake of the police lynching of George Floyd, Sen. Jones, who is both Black and gay, didn’t mince words.

Seeing a multicultural effort to equitably transform the U.S. “moved many of our white brothers and sisters to make some of these changes with the elimination of diversity, equity and inclusion because now, who America really was and is was presented to them on live TV, so they couldn’t turn away from that,” Sen. Jones said.

Florida State Sen. Shevrin Jones is “Emotionally drained”

Florida has become center stage for Republican efforts to rollback voting rights, weaken, Black political representation and deny students from Kindergarten to college access to an authentic understanding of the role systemic racism plays in our nation’s history and present.

On top of targeting Black Floridians, Republican presidential hopeful Ron DeSantis and his supporters have targeted immigrant communities and continues to place ever-more stringent rules on trans Floridians seeking gender-affirming care.

“Anyone would feel drained when they feel that they are in constant defending of their existence,” state Sen. Jones told The Black Wall Street Times.

“Trying to fight as a Black man against the injustices in this country and state, then you have to convince people, ‘no I’m not a groomer I’m actually a human being’.”

“Parental rights cloaked in bigotry”

Like DeSantis, other Republican leaders have hid behind the banner of “parental rights” to pass legislation that many deem anti-Black.

In defending his stance against certain books and DEI initiatives, Oklahoma Republican State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters has repeatedly claimed the actions were needed to protect parental rights. He’s even brought conservative activists from Moms for Liberty to stand behind him during state school board meetings as proof of support for his planned policies.

Ultimately, instead of controlling what and how students learn, Sen. Jones would like to see the party of “limited government” focus on moving people forward and elevating communities.

“What government was created to do. It was created to help people. It wasn’t created to put more distress in communities. That’s authoritarianism. That’s fascism,” he said.

“You belong here”

In recent years, the suicide rates for Black men and teens has increased, while the Trevor Project notes legislation targeting LGBTQ+ individuals also raises the risk of suicide attempts.

Despite the constant attacks, such as hate crimes inspired by right-wing rhetoric, state Sen. Jones wants young Black people and young queer people to know they belong.

“You belong here. You’re supposed to be here, and you matter.” He also hopes his message will inspire more young Black and queer people to seek political office.

“There’s a seat at the table that’s waiting for you. When you get it, don’t waste it.”

i feel like romeo and juliet is overly romanticized. i get the bittersweet idea of star-crossed lovers, but at the same time it’s not only a story about love—but rather—a story about how rash and impulsive you can be when you’re a teenager and in love and i feel like people overlook that despite it playing a fairly obvious part in the play, the audience generally tends to ignore that because they’re so focused on the romantic side of the story (not that i blame them because that is what the story is generally about) but I just wish that people see how destructive love can be when you’re not thinking rationally. like I don’t want to just deduce them to “horny teenagers” because even if they were just horny teenagers, they cared for each other. but you can’t deny the fact that they were in fact very reckless and didn’t exactly make very rational decisions.
