The Wound

by Louise Glück

The air stiffens to a crust. From bed I watch Clots of flies, crickets Frisk and titter. Now The weather is such grease. All day I smell the roasts Like presences. You Root into your books. You do your stuff. In here my bedroom walls Are paisley, like a plot Of embryos. I lie here, Waiting for its kick. My love. My tenant. As the shrubs grow Downy, bloom and seed. The hedges grow downy And seed, and moonlight Burbles through the gauze. Sticky curtains. Faking scrabble With the pair next door I watched you clutch your blank. They're both on Nembutal, The killer pill. And I am fixed. Gone careful, Begging for the nod, You quiver loyally Above my head. I close My eyes. And now The prison falls in place: Ripe things sway in the light, Parts of plants, leaf Fragments. You are covering the cot With sheets. I feel No end. No end. It stalls In me. It's still alive.

The Afton’s different ways of parenting in FNAF

[inbabylontheywept]

so i left the mormon church as a teenager (15ish? 16?), but stayed in attendance until i was 20. i was pretty up front about the whole deciding-it-wasnt-true process with my bishop, who frankly took it really well, but it wasnt like i pulled all 150 ward members aside and had a heart to heart with them. anyway, i didnt believe, so at 19 i didnt go on a mission, and while some people in the ward were totally fine with that, others werent. and there was one woman in her late 50s who pulled me aside one day to interrogate me why i hadnt gone on a mission.

"the duty of every young man" she said.

and the thing is, im autistic. and a lot of people assume that when youre autistic, your social skills just arent very good. but thats not exactly true. your Be Polite skills are kind of eh, and they tend to stay that way, but as a sort of survival mechanism your Be Rude skills become amazing simply because you get put in tons of situations where your choices are to Function or Be Polite. and no one can choose Be Polite forever. the world demands function, it merely encourages politeness.

anyway, it can really catch neurotypicals by surprise, because hey, heres this kind of awkward, graceless guy, who stumbles over his words a lot and is very apologetic. hes probably a huge pushover. but i'm only like that when we're playing The Polite Game, because i am frankly kind of bad at it. but when its time to play The Rude Game, i go fucking ham and asking about the not-going-on-a-mission thing is Super Rude. so i said:

"sister hadlock... they wont let me go because i lit-er-ally cannot stop sucking dicks. i dont know why, its just so, so hard."

*dramatic pause*

"also - its very difficult to stop."

anyway, it almost killed her. i think she'd expected to just kind of steamroll me for the entire conversation, but the answer crushed her soul. instead of continuing her interrogation she made a noise like a horse drowning in a bog and left.

to add insult to injury, she went to the bishop after that, thinking he'd chew me out for being an ass, but instead he chewed her out for not minding her own business. then she went to my parents after that, who basically went "yeah, babylon was pretty rude. but youre also pretty rude. what are you, mad that he's better at it than you?"

i really loved that ward.
