#but i am the exception and stronger for it

[grison-in-space]

look, my triggers include US politics. I triggered myself for a good half hour to hour last night because I was trying to engage with bsky on a thread I more or less liked and approved of.

but that was something I was doing. I own the responsibility for engaging with content that concerns my triggers, because while I would love it if the world revolved around me it mysteriously ceases to do so. that, too, is part of existing with a disability: sometimes the things that would be best for us are not a reasonable request, and it is not reasonable that we receive them. I am sorry. It sucks when that is you, and when you need to do the work of curating your experiences to interact with the world. But that is a non-negotiable part of disability justice.

as disabled people, people with triggers are subject to principles of interaction with public spaces designed to give access to the widest possible range of people who might inhabit those spaces. accordingly, if you request accommodations that prohibit large swathes of people from existing around you, you are engaging in ableist behavior by trying to narrow access to the public space. If your desired accommodations reduce access, they are not reasonable, and you should not be granted them.

now, there is good news. if you, also, are triggered by seeing specific cues or specific imagery, you can reduce your trigger reactions by engaging with those things when you are prepared for them and by creating new memories and interactions with those things in non-stressful contexts. however. it only works if you put yourself in control of the situation and if you put in the effort to curate your experiences. it doesn't work if you don't make those new associations and those new experiences.

openly queer people used to be one of my triggers, too, because all the associations I was having with them at the time were in the context of doing ace community work and I was receiving a lot of harassment. fixing this trigger was not the job of any of the openly queer people in my life except mine (because, hilariously, even at the time I was not even remotely in the region of passing for straight to straight people). it was the job of me. and I did it, by proactively seeking out new people to hang out with and building new memories and associations. truly, this is something you can do.

ptsd is a disorder that can only be resolved by finding that you do, in fact, have the agency and power to protect yourself. that work is long, and it is hard, and it is uncomfortable. but it is good for you, and it will leave you stronger for doing it.

the people who go "we shouldn't be so open about nudity because it could trigger someone's dysphoria" are like two steps max removed from "fat people being fat in public could trigger someone with an ed". like peoples' bodies are not the problem here, trying to restrict someone else's body because of how you personally feel is indistinguishable from conservative praxis. i'm sorry if that sounds harsh but there is basically no interpretation of "we need to control the bodies of [demographic]" that does not fall down the slippery slope of fascism.

TORN APART

A/N: Unedited; not proof read Pairings: Katsuki Bakugou x Fem!reader

The room is quiet except for the rain tapping against the windows — a soft, persistent sound that feels too gentle for what’s happening between you.

He stands with his back to you, fists clenched at his sides. His shoulders are stiff, like he's holding something heavy — not physically, but inside. The weight of things left unsaid.

You don’t know what to say to make him turn around. Maybe there’s nothing you can say.

“I don’t want to lose you,” he says, voice low and hoarse. “But I don’t know how not to push you away.”

It lands between you like a confession and a warning all at once.

Your chest tightens. Because you’ve tried. God you’ve tried to reach him — past the fire, past the pride, past the need to be stronger than everyone else. And sometimes, he let you in. Briefly. But then he pushes you away again, like he realized too late how vulnerable he’d become.

You swallow hard. “I don’t need you to be perfect. I just… need you to try.”

“I am trying,” he snaps, but there’s no heat in it — just pain. “It’s just… never enough, is it?”

Silence stretches between you. It’s not cold, but it’s not warm either. Just… tired.

Your fingers twitch at your side, aching to reach for him. To turn him around and make him look at you. But something keeps you still. Maybe fear. Maybe the realization that wanting someone isn't the same as being able to hold onto them.

So you whisper, “Then tell me… is this the part where we stop pretending it’s going to work?”

He doesn’t answer.

And then the rain keeps falling...

Forever and ever, no matter what, I love you and I know you love me, you just need to heal what I mistakenly broke in you and I must improve who I am. My punishment will always be to have lost you for months and months, but love…our love is even stronger than karma, even stronger than such feelings as sadness and guiltiness are, our love is the main and only reason I exist, because I have lived lives and lives just to find you, and hey, I learnt how to find you, but until now I never thought about how should I have loved you…i'ts new for me, I never learnt it and still have not completely learnt it yet, it is a daily path I still wish to follow since this, since you are my everything, since you are my love.

You may now hate me, but love is something we cannot quit from and you will sooner or later listen to your own heartbeats trying to find my heart. By that time I promise, I promise to be who you deserve, who we deserve. Do not feel sorry for meeting more people, do not feel sorry for getting away from me or even hating me now, just heal, listen to yourself, to your heart and then find me, I know we will find out how to make this work, we have always done it…and this time is no exception, as a matter of fact, this time is the only time we will face mistakes like these ones, it will be just a prove that we can always make mistakes, but we will finally love each other; hate is nothing against us, mistakes are nothing, even faith is not what we are moving on, we are moving in our own direction and I love to say that I love you, because even now, that we are moving on different directions, we are heading to the same future, where we belong to each other, where we are happy as a team, where we solved everything, where we can hug and kiss each other and say “I'm sorry, I love you” even if it is not today or tomorrow…I'll be waiting for you to come back, I won't listen to any other words than yours until I listen “I love you” back again.

So, hey, please hurry haha, I love you.

I don’t even fully know why but “what do I do when I miss you so much?” / “Just wait, and pray desperately” was a knife to my heart in the best way.

i finally tried out the "lose to orin" path line and i was excited to see if gortash has any unique dialogue about it (considering he has unique dialogue for becoming bhaal's chosen again & for resisting bhaal) but apparently durge can't even tell gortash that she lost to orin 😂 which i mean i guess it kinda makes sense because you probably wouldn't want him to know that if you're trying to ally with him but you'd think you'd still have the option to click it even if he just reacts by attacking you 🤣

(disclaimer: this is intended as humor, not an actual complaint)

the only "immersion breaking" in Resident Lover is the couple of times I've found where the MC is shown as not terribly strong/easily overpowered. rip to other MCs but I'm built like a fucking tank. a short tank, mind you, but an absolute unit nonetheless. if I want to lift Dani as a form of greeting, I will

jkjk the real most unrealistic thing is me being good at school
