Killer: I've been dropping him the most obvious hints for years now. No response.
Kid: Wow. He sounds stupid.
Killer: He's not, though. He's actually kinda smart. Just, dense.
Kid: Then you just gotta be even more obvious! Like, go up to the guy and say "Hey! I love you!"
Killer: Okay, you're right. Hey Kid, I love you.
Kid: Yeah, see! Just say that!
Killer: Holy fucking shit.
Kid: If that flies over his head, then he's no good, Killer, he's too dumb for you.
Killer: Kid.

Tag nine people (you'd like to get to know better)
I was tagged by @plothooksinc! Thanks!
Three ships: Korrasami is still a big one, I even had a tag (queuerasami) for all the fanart I used to queue up to reblog. NanoFate is another, the Nanoha series still has a big place in my heart. Let's also go with Gruulfriends (Chandra and Nissa from Magic: The Gathering).
First ever ship: Um, gosh, maybe Alanna and George in Tamora Pierce's Song of the Lioness books? I always preferred George over Jon and Liam.
Last song: One-Winged Angel - Rebirth from the FFVII Remake OST
Last movie: Monsters Inc. I had it on in the background the other night - hadn't seen it in years, still a lot of fun.
Currently reading: My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer Vol. 5
Currently watching: The Worst Days, an indie horror TTRPG live stream at twitch.tv/allportsopen
Currently consuming: An apple! A royal gala, specifically.
Currently craving: Sleep. I'm so very badly in need of more sleep.
I'll tag @shinyv, @cluelessnu, @fourwing, @arcanusamantes, @kuraselle, @ylnrsky, @mirmontilyet, @beanscribs, @kalyri if you'd like to do this too!

Five People I’d Like to Get to Know Better!
Thanks, @star-spangled-cap! Last Song: Ludwig, the Holy Blade - Bloodborne OST Favorite Color: Currently, a heathery purple or a dark teal. Watching: Nothing. Youtube playthroughs of video games, or other yt videos (shoutout to DougDoug's channel), when I do. I don't actually remember the last show I watched. But the last movie was Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves (an excellent time, as always). Spicy/Savory/Sweet: Sweet. Relationship Status: Single, seemingly without end. Current Obsession: I'm back on my Ghostbusters bullshit. But also, Persona.
Tagging: @lirulin, @bearfeathers, @azemessence, @komikbookgeek, @brodinsons

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".
Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"
And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".
Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.
At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.
So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!
Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!
Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!
Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.
#hlep#original#mental health#my sympathies and empathies to anyone who has to rely on this kind of hlep to get what they need.#the people in my life who most need to see this post are my family but even if they did I sincerely doubt they would internalize it#i've tried to break thru to them so many times it makes my head hurt. so i am focusing on boundaries and on finding other forms of support#and this thing i learned today helps me validate those boundaries. the example with the milk was from my therapist.#the example with the towing company was a real thing that happened with my parents a few months ago while I was age 28. 28!#a full adult age! it is so infantilizing as a disabled adult to seek assistance and support from ableist parents.#they were real mad i was mad tho. and the spoons i spent trying to explain it were only the latest in a long line of#huge family-related spoon expenditures. distance and the ability to enforce boundaries helps. haven't talked to sisters for literally the#longest period of my whole life. people really believe that if they love you and try to help you they can do no wrong.#and those people are NOT great allies to the chronically sick folks in their lives.#you can adore someone and still fuck up and hurt them so bad. will your pride refuse to accept what you've done and lash out instead?#or will you have courage and be kind? will you learn and grow? all of us have prejudices and practices we are not yet aware of.#no one is pure. but will you be kind? will you be a good friend? will you grow? i hope i grow. i hope i always make the choice to grow.#i hope with every year i age i get better and better at making people feel the opposite of how my family's ableism has made me feel#i will see them seen and hear them heard and smile at their smiles. make them feel smart and held and strong.#just like i do now but even better! i am always learning better ways to be kind so i don't see why i would stop

I love when I see posts like "Share how many crochet WIPs you currently have! I have 5, it's so many!"
Like, girl, I have unfinished projects from over a decade ago that I refuse to frog on the off chance I decide to finish them. I've found years-old projects I forgot I even started and will impulsively just finish it on the spot. I've started three different projects in the last 2 months, including one I started yesterday, that I already know I may or may not finish within the year depending on motivation.
The number of WIPs I have is infinite.
