#there is a hierarchy

[ayyy-imma-ninja]

I feel like the magic world has a lot of racism.

I want to cosplay Dilton SO badly, but in order to do that I’d need to have:

A: A friend with me who’s cosplaying Jughead, so that (by virtue of the iconic hat) onlookers might possibly recognize what fandom I’m supposed to be from by association.

(Because really, without context, Dilt is just some random kid with glasses.)

B: Ideally multiple other friends cosplaying other Archie characters, because it wouldn’t really make sense to have a tritagonist like Dilly hanging out with Jug, but not The Actual Archie. (And really the whole theme works best with a big group, I’m sure.)

C: An actual place to cosplay at, like, I don’t know, a comic con or something. I have never been to one, and have no plans to go to one, so that’s a bit of a moot point right now. And a comic con is sort of the only place with enough of a payoff for this particular cosplay theme.

Because if I’m not recognized as Dilton, then I’m basically just wearing normal, slightly dated clothes at a time when I could have been wearing something awesome, like a medieval gown or superhero armor or a pirate outfit.

Half the fun of becoming a character is getting to be that character for other people as well. As much as I want to cosplay just for myself, if I’m not recognized at all, it sort of doesn’t feel worth it…

Unfortunately my interests skew towards the obscure.

what do you think about the claim that endogenic systems face ableism from anti endos because plurality is a neurodiverse experience and therefore all endogenic systems are neurodivergent/capable of being the targets of ableism?

Angelic Hierarchy (WIP)

[todays-xkcd]

The local police, building inspector, and fire marshal are all contesting my 'safety' assertion, or would be if they could reach me past all the traps.

Maslow's Pyramid [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Cueball leading White Hat and Megan to a giant pyramid modelled after Maslow's hierarchy of needs, with each tier labelled after its need on the pyramid, and a comment next to it in the comic.]

Self actualization: [X] Honestly questioning my life choices here

Esteem: [X] People seem less impressed by it than I hoped

Belonging and Love: [X] Friends are worried about me

Safety: [Checkmark] Highly defensible

Physiological needs: [X] Provides basic shelter but no food, water, heat, et cetera.

Caption: I built Maslow's pyramid thing, but it's a total ripoff - it's only providing 20% of my needs.

Can we please stop putting down autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent people whose traits are considered 'cringe', 'dorky', 'weird' or something else considered to be socially unacceptable?

We get enough shit from neurotypical people—we don't need to throw each other under the bus too.

"But they're making us look bad!"

I. Don't. Care. It's wrong to put each other on hierarchies. Simple.

star trek voyager was insane because it would drop a scene like this and expect you to just watch it and go on with your life as normal

[aromacaque]

do allos know about amatonormativity? do they know they're allowed to live a life outside of the cookie cutter arbitrary conventions society has laid out for them? "we're just friends we can't do xyz" but you can. "but i'm not aro so i can't-" no you Can. you're allowed to do whatever you want

[saltmarshnerd]

Friendship can be just as intense as romance. Romance can be just as intense as friendship. There is no one over the other. There is human connection, there is the strength of the bond that varies based on the specific circumstances surrounding each relationship. There is love - it may be platonic or romantic or anything in between. There is love, and it simply presents different forms.

Love doesn’t come with a hierarchy.

I have this friend (who is also arospec) that recently got an online boyfriend. A couple days ago I casually told my friend “I love you” like I have a million times before and this time his answer was “I’m not saying it back. I’m saving that for my boyfriend” Your boyfriend who you’ve never actually met before and have only been dating a few days. I’m fine. Amatonormativity and relationship hierarchies don’t destroy my soul at all :’) I’m sorry I can’t love you in the way you want to be loved.
