“You Can’t be Autistic…”

Reminds me of someone.

Istvan Toth + respecting Henry during 'The Storm'

(+making these I had a little moment of realisation because. Does Istvan even know Henry's fucking name? He and Erik usually refer to him in relation to Radzig, but I can't remember if they ever actually call him Henry?

david lynch signing the polanski petition will always be a black mark on his legacy, the same way its coloured my views of scorsese, or xavier dolan or alfonso cuarón, and so on and on and on. it feels endless and it speaks to a deep stupidity and a deeper misogyny present in hollywood. if you believe people like natalie portman (who also signed it) the petition was being passed around and people felt obligated or casual about signing what their peers were asking them to. its up to you as an individual to decide if you agree with this version of events. i think its a version of the story that omits some responsibility from the signees and i dont totally agree with it.

an anon coming into my inbox to act morally superior and tell me about the polanski petition, only now when im making posts about how sad it is that david lynch died from a very painful disease, but not sending anything any of the times ive posted about twin peaks or the elephant man or blue velvet, doesnt feel like its coming from a place of good faith. you wait until hes dead to send me an anonymous message about it?

The real message of Lucy vs Buddy is that worshipping a divinity is about following the values that the god puts forth, not about preaching or praying or evangelizing.

When Buddy was offered to die a Helio worshipper or live with a different god, he chose to abandon the faith he claimed such devotion to. When Lucy was offered the same thing, she looked to her values as they related to her religion and decided that she would not add to the coldness of the world. Lucy, even in death, remains a light in the dark, the warm memory in the coldness of the ratgrinders. That’s true devotion. That’s the point of religion.

wanna ask how you feel about the eridan bpd headcanon/theory(?? not sure what to call it!) you're so good at your character analysis and i'd love to see your outlook on it

Since I don't have a degree or any formal training in psychology, I feel deeply uncomfortable diagnosing characters. I've made an autism joke before but only because I'm on the spectrum. He's definitely traumatized and anxious, but I mean those as descriptors of his behavior rather than capital-D Diagnoses. I try to focus on those when I can - the cause and effect of cognition, self-image, and behavior - and those factors may very well match up with DSM criteria, but I try not to touch an actual diagnosis with a ten foot pole unless the author has explicitly stated that X character has Y condition.

if you have a large following, there is no reason why you are not posting about palestine still, even if it’s only semi-regularly or when you see it. you lot will say “boycott tlou, neil druckmann is a zionist!” until you are blue in the face, and while that is important, you know what also is much more important? directly helping the people in need by reblogging their posts to the copious amounts of people that follow you and by sacrificing your morning coffee and donating like 5-10 bucks if you’re able to. it takes two seconds to check vetting and it doesn’t hurt to use your platform for simple human decency. we may not be able to take the suffering of people away as individuals, but that is why community and care is important. if everyone is able to chip in or at least share, we could make a difference to the people who are enduring these nightmarish realities. you need to believe in your own kindnesses and your own humanity. you need to believe in your own power to help others.

Genuine question but why is it that people on this site really lose all sense of empathy and compassion for people at the drop of a hat. Like it feels as though people were waiting for that stupid ass "all Gazan GFMs are actually scams dont donate!!!" post to drop to justify wanting to ignore someone elses struggle

i had a professor last semester call my cohort "chill" (we laughed at this) and she said we'd understand what she meant when we had class with the second-years in the spring and well. it's now spring. and she was right. We Understand.

Seeing how downhill everything going gives me a special kind of pain because I *dont* want to just move to a different contry. Despite everything I like living here, I like the good aspects of it. I like our cultural diversity, I like summer BBQs and visiting my great grandma every few months. I like fishing with my grandpa, and despite what a shithole it is I love the people who love their lives everyday here. And I am so so so so scared for them.

I don’t want to have to leave my home to not live in a facist nazi contry. I don’t want to have to move to be happy.

I hate the America of today…. But the people? The American people, who are scraping paycheck to paycheck and getting fed unjust propaganda? The people in my community? The people stuck in this burnt melting pot with me?

I love them.

And I can only hope for their safety.
