Boys will be boys. And sometimes they’ll be girls and sometimes they’ll be neither and sometimes they’ll be both and sometimes they’ll be a secret third thing. And sometimes they’ll be lesbians and sometimes they’ll be gay guys who are actually girls and sometimes they’ll be very small gremlins because gender will be gender.

object permanence but it's supplemented by toddler logic: if it applies to everyone else, it applies to me too.

i have no object permanence about myself. if i’m not in anyones eye sight i assume i have ceased to be. finding out people remember i exist, think about me, and even talk about me when i’m not actively in front of them is startling news every time it is brought to my attention

[phoenixofash]

being non binary is like. well I know I'm not cis, and I'm pretty sure I'm not trans trans......but what if I secretly am completely 100% trans, instead of feeling like I'm balancing along the fence of the western gender binary?

if I were given the opportunity to transition socially and biologically, would I take it? should I take it? would that make justifying my existence easier? justifying it to myself, to strangers, to family - the constant tug of war between "please, see me for who I am" and "please, do not acknowledge me, for I do not know what you'll see in the space I take up".

oh huh! that's really interesting actually. I love seeing how these phrases? slogans? idk evolve across time and space different places :)

[phoenixofash]

an (allegedly) important reminder as our economic situation plummets further into the blistering pits of hell...say it with me, kids!

✨if it's a chain, it's free reign✨

BUT

✨if it's family owned, leave it alone✨

Amy Pond and Gwen Cooper would get on really well if they could meet.

ok we have to take a moment to appreciate the execution of Callums...questionable... character arc (Season 4 spoilers, of course.)

- in the end credits of Rebirthday, the painting of Callum and Ezran has them standing in the same positions as Viren and Harrow, suggesting that they're in the same positions of perceived/actual power.

- Callums dedication to translating the runes highlights the downward spiral of his intentions as a mage: it borders on obsessive. We can see this in Breathtaking, where it is inferrable that he oversleeps after Rayla's return due to being overworked.

- the most obvious one takes place in Through the Looking Glass, when Zubeia recounts her experience with the mirror and Aaravos. Most specifically, her saying "Aaravos chose as his instruments people who had strong minds and strong hearts," which, let's be honest, the past 3 seasons have confirmed Callum to have, before the camera cuts to the man himself as she continues, "but those who had an insatiable thirst and fascination with magic." Here we can see him gazing into the mirror, as if searching for a final part of himself in there.

- the return of Rayla in itself is done brilliantly. Callums anger and conflict for it, and his feelings for her, is reasonable. It is human, something that is painfully obvious of him. But, on the flipside, it is this anger that exacerbates his downward spiral. He is painfully vulnerable, and withdraws from anything that could show this.

- his arc definitely peaks in Beneath the Surface, where in the scene remeniscent of LoTR: Return of the King, Callum is faced with the moral dilemma of letting go of the Key of Aaravos, destroying what gave him his power and position for the greater good, or keeping it for himself and maintaining his only sense of identity. By keeping it, he fully succumbs to the influence of Aaravos. He's a puppet for him, albeit subtly, because of the item he holds. We now know, without a doubt, that his insecurity of his position in society (step-prince, step-mage) is exploitable.

- "He a friend of yours?" "Not anymore." right at the beginning of Escape From Umber Tor can show two things: the grip Aaravos has on Claudia, isolating her, alongside the fact that Callum has become unrecognisable in character.

exactly! just because caffeine (and, to an extent, alcohol) is a more easily accessible substance, it doesn't mean that those who use it excessively are morally superior to those who do the same with weed or ket or whatever. regardless of what you use, the chances are that your original motives are largely similar: mutual aid should be accessible to all addicts, regardless!

More people who take prescription meds should see themselves as drug users. More people who drink coffee and booze should see themselves as drug users. Considering yourself a drug user puts you in solidarity with people who use criminalized drugs! It turns out that criminalizing only some substances and then classing people who use those as "drug users" is yet another way for the state to divide & conquer, but also you do not personally have to engage in the criminalized drug trade or take criminalized substances to like...support people who do & learn how to use Narcan. Addiction (and where the line is between addiction and recreational use!) becomes easier to understand when you can compare other stories of chemical dependance to your caffiene withdrawls on a no-coffee morning.
