#how do I even react to this?

15 year old me would’ve lost her shit and I’m just. Here. And I don’t know what to do with that. I don’t know how to feel. One Direction was quite literally everything to me for my middle and high school years and knowing that it will never ever be the same now is shocking. Waking up to the news that one of the boys I was so obsessed with is just gone is shocking. And while I mourn the person Liam was and what he meant to me during those years, I also just don’t know how to, to grieve? To be upset? I just feel kinda numb tbh. I don’t quite believe it yet

There are ten billion personal Lamb interpretations and all of them are correct (and also the other characters but I suffer from lamb favoritism)

If you're looking for an excuse to ramble about your Lamb or AU (or any cotl character you have) take this post to do it NOW

Messing up while trying to learn healthier coping skills or communication skills doesn't mean your progress ceases to exist.

If you lashed out at someone during an argument instead of using your coping skills, it's okay to forgive yourself. If you reacted based on your emotional urge instead of looking at the situation, that's okay. It happens.

No one is perfect all the time. I think we expect so much more of ourselves. In my case, because I felt so ashamed of who I used to be. It makes me feel extra pressure to "do better". But the reality is, people who aren't in recovery mess up too. And sometimes they may not even notice it.

You don't need to beat yourself up about it. In fact, beating yourself up about it doesn't really help anyone. You can learn from it. Was there something going on that made it harder to use your coping skills? Was there a certain trigger? Maybe a bad day? Take your new knowledge and move forward.

Your progress still very much exists. I promise.

i have to be so real. sometimes you have to outright not give a shit what the author thinks. i’m not saying to disregard how a character is portrayed and give into fanon characterisations but sometimes i will see fans be like “(head writer) omggg do you think this character is a good person?” “how would this character react if xyz happened?” as though that’s not a question you can and have to answer for yourself.! any character can contain multitudes and if you keep limiting your perception of them solely on word of god its not fun for the writer or even yourself anymore. THINK FOR YOURSELF. INVENT NEW WAYS TO FUCK YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS OVER

forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.

Probably the only thing giving me any hope at this point is that every few days some random gentile posts in the Jewish subreddit something along the lines of "I think I'm going insane am I going insane what's going on why is every single comment on my social media feed straight up Nazism why does nothing get taken down when I report it why is my niece simping for a terrorist organization what's happening are you guys seeing this shit." And the answer is always yes ofc we have been seeing this shit for a while. But it's always nice to get some confirmation that someone else is seeing it too.

....So, um, does this not freak anyone else out??? Is it just me??? Because like, this sounds like actual hell for all the kids involved. Their entire childhood and teenage years has now been dedicated to filming a (unneeded) reboot of Harry Potter to the point they can't even go to school at any point with this type of school being set up for them and them only, and even then the school stuff is second to filming, being at hours that let's be real, any other kid would be fucking resting and such in, not having to race to do school work because they spent their normal school hours filming. This is literally actually giving vibes of WB trying to find any loopholes they can to have the kid actors film non-stop to the point it won't be surprising if stuff comes out about behind the scenes some time after the reboot is done with. Btw before anyone says this is normal on sets with kids, last I heard a-lot of film sets aren't setting up schools for the next decade basically of the kid actors life, they have tutors coming onto set at best to handle the school work with the kid actors and when they done with filming finally, the kids go back to school like normal. This is basically set up to mess up the kid actors chances at education and developing like kids should while in education let alone their chances at socialising outside of fellow child actors and the adult actors around them...all so that a terf can make more money for her bigotry and replace the cast that turned against her.

Remember this post where I talked about how funny Host!Vic’s gender neutrality is? Well now it’s even funnier because this episode seemingly confirmed something I have suspected to be true for a while now, which is that fictional Vic Michealis SOMEHOW DIDNT REALISE THEYRE BI?????

Hello Walten Files Fandom, long time no see

[blakellyl]

the way a LOT of people reduce Bob to his traumas and illnesses pisses me the fuck off.

he does anything and "it's because of the trauma!!!" "it's because he’s mentally ill!!!" "he did it only because he's so anxious!!!" or maybe it's because that's the fucking way he is? the way he always was?? as a person??? just like a ton of other (perfectly healthy) people???? ??? he's a human being with his own personality and behavior.

Stop seeing him only as his disorders and traumas. He'd fucking hate it.

My brain malfunctioned and I was digging in MTMTE the whole day, forgot to blink, kicked pillow 8 times and was talking with my reflection 6 times

Ended up with 60+ screenshots of nerds being socially awkward/abnormal/straightforward because we use books to talk, not people, silly, cool or sweet, or just facts ahah

i fear part of the reason i really enjoy the idea of nat and travis having wilderness baby 2.0 is mostly how shauna would react.

like, obviously she'd crash the fuck out because no, not fucking again, this cannot fucking be happening again. but also because you know she wouldn't be able to make up her mind how to feel about it. she's horribly jealous, natalie has her partner (her partner didn't die of hypothermia), natalie has the wilderness's favor, she gets to be pregnant when there's more of a food abundance. but at the same time, there is still every chance that baby won't make it, and shauna wouldn't wish that on anyone.

and if that baby did make it? well. fuck. who knows? because she's so jealous, she's so painfully jealous, and she's so heartbroken, because her baby didn't make it. but, i also think there would be some part of her that is fiercely protective of that baby. it may not be hers, but it made it, and she will probably do a lot to make sure it keeps making it.
