Twitter: We may have our ideological differences but I'm praying the President has a speedy Recovery. Democrats, do not let the right see your inhumanity, choose empathy 🤗

i couldn’t fit it in but a bonus level is: i hope trump doesn’t die just yet bc it could affect the election/i would like him to experience intense suffering first.

beating breath of the wild in under 40 minutes is an incredible feat and also fucking excellent in the context of the game. ganon spends 100 fucking years preparing this onslaught, building energy, getting ready to tear the world apart, and one elf twink wakes up butt-ass naked in a cave and legs it to the castle and kicks ganon’s ass apart in under an hour with a sword he found along the way

Man imagine being an eternal super being of hyper consciousness and reality-bending powers able to do anything and go anywhere you please in the entire universe, and still thinking being an insignificant human enjoying tiny cafés with your best friend and driving your car on Sunday mornings is the most meaningful and happiest existence you could ever dream of living

a sibling relationship is just “i love you beyond my own life but i’ll never say it” plus “i’ll kill you over a stolen shirt don’t even fucking test me” plus “inside jokes and secret language” plus “i literally do not understand the dark recesses of your mind what the fuck are you made from” plus the occasional “oh my god please don’t eat tha - spit it OUT SPIT IT OUT”

It's so difficult to express neglect.

Other forms of abuse have always something that stands out, that's out of the norm. If you've been neglected... You instead miss something. You don't even question why it was important because you never had it in your entire life. And how do you express it?

Maybe it's just something that happens, not every family is the same. Yet you can't grasp why your behavior is different than your cousins, why you do feel that something is out of place.

But you can't desire something you never had and never knew how it felt like, right?

You can try to open up. But you never suffered any personal violation. You're just envious. You didn't have it, they seem so happy. They are so happy.

Neglect always feel minor. Even the worst case of neglect can be brushed off with: "oh poor baby, now you have someone that feeds and cleans you. You are now healed".

But neglect is a form of abuse too.

Neglectful parents pride themselves with kids when they hear situations of abuse: "I'm not bad, I never hit you. You should be thankful of your family". But you still created deep wounds in my soul: I'm not able to function, to behave like a normal being.

Tough it up, you must face everything on your own. But you were 7, 11, 14 years old. And you were put in front of situations that would be difficult even for an adult.

You had to learn a way out, without any guidance. You had to learn how to swim in a stormy ocean, because the ones that should've teached you in a calm pool were never there for you. Sink or swim, and at least you managed to breathe. But at what cost?

Your head manages to stay up, but your body is all clenched up. You can't move. Everyone around you is walking, the water arrives at their hips. They run into the sun, you can never reach them.

It leaves scars. It's hard to heal. It's abuse but it's not seen as that. Tough it up, they say.

It's so difficult to express neglect.

adhd is: holds entire conversations with peoples ears or cheekbones

so did you lay in bed blasting fireflies by owl city as a kid staring up at the ceiling while imagining running away to a happier place bc you grew up on fairy tales and make believe stories since you didnt really have the best social skills due to undiagnosed neurodivergency and thus didnt have a lot of friends so you spent all that extra time you had induldging in fictional stories and then grew up believing maybe one day youd get to go on a magical adventure like those stories had so youd spent so much time just longing for an escape and to go somewhere you understood bc you didnt understand people but you did understand all those stories you read or are you normal

My friend: can I ask you for relationship advice?

Me: *prepares a wheel of fortune where the only two options are "communicate" and "break up"* yeah sure go ahead

Very occasionally, Twitter has some good advice.

calling an ace/aro person “basically straight” is like if you were to call an agender person “basically cis” and if you do either of those things i’m gonna have to ask you to step 17,000 feet away from me thnx

[aurorashadow]

Not to sound narcissistic but I was born into this godforsaken hell world to make a difference and I will make that everyone else’s problem

Do not let them consume you. They don’t define who you are.

i love the feeling when someone asks me about one of my hyperfixations and it summons all my thoughts at once like my brain is a discord server that just got hit with an @everyone
