"you don't owe anyone anything" You are a tar pit. Speak for yourself. I personally owe the cafe employees my dishes put away and my friends a listening ear and small scared insects a cup and a gentle trip outside. Hyperindividualism is a rancid infection borne of capitalism and willfully misinterpreted therapyspeak and I will defy it by continuing to be kind regardless of whether or not it benefits me personally

A red thread? Oh, no, no, no, not us. No.

We're connected by the red sticky hand of fate. Totally different.

Pitiless man, you are no son it seems of Thetis or the horseman Peleus, rather the grey sea and the stony cliffs bore you, with heart of granite.

being queer is actually so cool

looking at the cis/het/allo/amato/normativity and just going:

"no thanks."

trans folks - your gender is yours, created by you, for you, never thrust upon you

non-binary folks - society said "boy or girl", you said "yeah no."

pan/bi folks - you see that someones attractiveness is not based on their gender, but who they are

aro/ace folks - you look into one of societies greatest developments: romantic/sexual relationships and simply turn away, doing your own thing and expanding what relationships, platonic or not, can be

gender-fluid/bigender folks - your gender is different sometimes? do you see how cool that is?

gay/lesbian folks - the biggest lie we were taught as kids is that love is between a man and a woman. you disprove this, showing just how wide love can be

non-labelled folks - you are YOU. and that is amazing and worth celebrating

micro-labelling - that super specific thing? there's a word for it

Anyone else find it kind of interesting that the two most complete word sets in the image are both related to fear and/or negative experiences? (With the exception of words that have strayed from that meaning over time)

excuse me for stating the obvious but like. james gunn outright calling superman an immigrant and doubling down on it when he got backlash (because he IS an immigrant, that's the point of superman) + the in-movie dialogue of "aren't you going to read me my rights?" "you're an extraterrestrial, son. you haven't got any rights to read." + the violence of his arrest and how they torture and mistreat him unapologetically, all under the guise of "protecting america", in a film releasing during the onslaught of violent ICE kidnappings and abuse... yeah it's really no wonder right-wing knobheads are crying about this being woke. they're being forced to look directly at the reasons one of the most well-known and beloved heroes of all time would not be on their side. and that's only ONE of the reasons this movie covers

everyone in the house has the right to be in the kitchen

i am kind and in control of my emotions even when someone is in the kitchen while i was planning to be in there alone

I’m always fascinated by people who can trick their brain into doing things.

“If we finish this chore then we can have a treat.”

I have ADHD. My brain says orrr I can have the treat and never do the chore

The most human thing a character can do is contradict themselves.

The cynic who still carries a childhood stuffed animal.

The liar who craves honesty.

The overthinker who makes reckless decisions.

The heartbreaker who believes in soulmates.

The pacifist who holds lifelong grudges.

The tough guy who cries during old movies.

The thrill-seeker who's terrified of commitment.

The grump who’s unfailingly polite to waitstaff.

People aren’t consistent. Your characters shouldn’t be either.
