#Internalized Ableism: Yes

My Hero Academia: Twice

Rating: 3.5/4

Why he's plural: Twice within My Hero Academia has the power to make duplicates of himself, however, he is not in control of these duplicates and they can choose what to do of their own merit. The narrative involves them coming to peace with each other and learning how to work together. Not Plural Evil Alter: Kind Of Erase The System: No One Dimensional Alters: No Internalized Ableism: Yes Ableism Rating: Good Enjoyable: Kind Of Explanations of ratings under cut.

Because they have arguably not divergent personalities and identities and are physically in different bodies, Twice is Not Plural despite having relatable plural narratives. Twice Kind Of has Evil Alters because when there is conflict amongst alters, the reasoning and complexity of the duplicates is not focused on, rather it's mainly about it's effect on Twice himself. However even if they're not sympathetic they're not really EVIL. By the end of the story, Twice's system-adjacent status is Not Erased. The duplicates are Not One Dimensional as they are duplicates of Twice and therefore as just as fully rounded as he is. Internalized Ableism is Expressed via Twice assuming his role as the "Original" and treating his clones as lesser than him, however, by the end of the narrative this is resolved as they learn to work together and be equal. The Ableism Rating is Good, as his relationship with his duplicates is mended instead of their erasure, and while the character itself is explicitly a villain, he is arguably the kindest and least evil of the villain characters. Frankly he is not very villainous. I found it Kind Of Enjoyable. While it was a relatable system narrative, it is still a rather generic narrative and more could have been explored with the character. Although I do acknowledge this is pretty good for MHA.

The leftism/anticapitalism leaving people's bodies the zeptosecond you imply that disabled people who aren't "productive" still matter in society and need to be treated like intrinsic equals who have a place in this world:

Autism culture is not feeling things in the normal way and hating yourself for it

Is there any autistic person who is actually happy with their life? Or is it really constant suffering and alienation?

Every post in the actuallyautistic tag is about how we're fundamentally different and annoying and nobody understands ever and we have miserable lives. We have miserable little lives and no one talks to us and we can't survive on our own and it's so hard all the time forever. (This description is an exaggeration to make a point about how the actuallyautistic tag is deeply negative about autistic outlook on life.)

Is there anyone who's autistic who's. . . made it good? Who's set up a life that works for them? If so, I'd like to hear it.

Tumblr talks sometimes about "autistic joy", usually related to special interests, but I think it's about time we started talking about autistic hope.

House MD Season 8 Episode 7: Dead & Buried

Rating: 3.5/4

Why they're plural: This character explicitly has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Alters are treated as separate, and their difference in physiological and psychological reactions is a component of the episode. Canonically Plural Evil Alter: Kind Of Erase The System: No System origins: Traumatic System structure: People One Dimensional Alters: No Internalized Ableism: Yes Ableism Rating: Great Enjoyable: Yes

having milder sensory issues than you used to is wack because you'll be like "ah yes i can go out in the world and do things now, no problem" but forget that you're still only one difficult haircut or noisy grocery store away from completely bluescreening

Ford would have moments where he experiences a shutdown and he cant really speak. And he knows enough about psychology to know thats not a thing everyone experiences to the degree he does. But hes also in denial and the terms for what hes experiencing dont really exist yet.

Chronic illnesses are so stupid

I feel like the only teenager alive who wants to go to class and write tests and hand in assignments that I stayed up all night working on

But instead I’ve been 1.5 days of school and I probably won’t be able to go in tomorrow. I missed a test and I have a project due on Friday that I’ll have to beg my teacher for an extension on because I can’t do shit right now

I fucking hate this useless body

guy who is at least 3 flavours of neurodivergent (autism adhd bpd) and would literally die without medication and has muscle spasms / a tremor so bad he can't drive: i mean im not like disabled tho im just a little silly

[lightblueminecraftorchid]

being sick as an adult sucks. wdym my mom won’t just automatically make sure I eat food instead of exclusively drinking Gatorade all day. wdym I have to ask my roommates to make me dinner. I have to Venmo a friend money to buy me more Gatorade?? I can’t focus enough to do homework??? I hate this.

Im not looking to pick a fight here I just want to express something.

I see a lot of posts with a declaration like "this is for physically disabled people only, dont make this about mental health, neurodivergents dont interact". And it just doesnt sit well with me.

It could be that Im not seeing what this is a reaction to.

Bodies and brains arent separate. Our bodyminds are one big set of feedback loops.

Firstly brains are physical organs. We dont know exactly how to see thoughts on a scanner but theyre somehow made of neurons and electricity and brain stuff. Maybe even brain stuff that we cant currently detect or measure. But it is physical because what else could it be? We're made out of meat.

Second. Trauma is stored in the body. Anxiety partly is stored in muscle tension. Mental illness and neurodivergence manifests physically. In headaches and stimming and tension and bad sleep, fatigue, impaired executive function, skin picking and handwashing and fine motor skills and likely many other things I dont have as much knowledge of.

And physical disabilities affect the mind too. Frustration, anger, helplessness, distress, pain, loneliness, fatigue, brain fog. Trauma. Likely other things I have less knowledge of.

And yes some disabilities are more accepted and/or accommodated. We all have different experiences and I think we like to think other people have it easier, if only I was disabled this other way Id have my needs better fulfilled.

And in some cases theres truth to it. We all have different experiences and no one should talk over anyone else about their own lives.

And, we all live in an ableist society that isnt set up for us and we all struggle in different ways to different degrees. We're also not all that different.

Like if one person is talking about how they cant go to the shops because they dont have the mobility necessary, and someone with agoraphobia chimes in and says I also hate that I cant go shopping, congratulations you have something in common to talk about. The source of your difficulties and what would allow you to negate or manage those barriers are very different, but you have the same struggle.

Man I may delete this later bc venting is weird on the internet but like. Fucked up for my mom to casually say all the time until I moved out she thought I was, and I quote, “developmentally several years behind” since I was like. 16. And used my adult autism diagnosis as “proof”. Why’d she do that.

If i ever had a Fandom, people would NOT be normal abt manager. He's an alcoholic, he finds children unbearable to be around, hes not a very good father, he has ALOT of internalized ableism, he's mean to his coworkers, he hates humanity, he wants to watch the world burn, he rather fight The Maker themself before ever admitting he has any issues of the sort, he practices toxic masculinity, he's an overall asshole i wouldn't want to spend a SECOND with

Despite it all he loves his husband, he loves his job, he loves being evil, he loves being an asshole, he loves helping his husband be evil, he will stand up for those he loves and cares for with no hesitation, he will fight god if he needs to, he's cunning, he can fight like hell, and did i mention he loves his husband?

He doesn't go thru much of a character acr from the present part of the timeline till the time he dies, but he dies while fighting. He dies fighting a manifestation of his personal demons fought till his last breath.

He was and never will be a good father to maudi, and by the time he wanted to be a better dad, it was too little too late.

And all of this is... Okay... You can still like him, i do, hes my problematic fave!

Im acting like as if I'll ever get a solid enough following for people to care abt this, im just preparing i guess lol...

walked maybe a quarter mile in direct summer sunlight, sat down to rest, and only then felt my fast fast heartbeat crashing and reverberating thru my chest, face, arms (no wonder i was tired?)

i think i've been feeling this since i was a kid! i hated sports, hated to stay outside in summer (but liked it better in fall). kids and adults in my life told me it was because i was fat (sometimes not so directly) and i believed them and hated myself for it! and still until now it is the hardest piece of Fat Shame for me to shake: how embarassing it is to be heatsick. the heavy breathing. the sweat. (the sweat..........)

i was sick the whole time!!!!
