i've been saying shit like "next time ill try to improve my time management skills" since i was about eight years old maybe we should all just accept that i cannot manage my time well and this is something i simply cannot improve. i'm still gonna keep on writing it in reflections though

it's kind of frustrating that essentially all the advice on tumblr for functioning when your brain's not working properly assumes By Default that your brain's not working properly because of depression.
like. don't get me wrong, i'm glad there's advice for people with depression. and i'm totally capable of going, yeah ok this post isn't meant for me, moving on. but...when you have to do that with every advice post, when everyone around you is promising that everyone will feel better if they can put in the effort to do these things you know will make you feel worse, you start to wonder where the heck the posts that are meant for you are.

tbh i like artemis from the young justice tv show so much because she was a mixed asian girl who didn't really look asian. that could be blamed on just how the show's animation style looked, but her sister jade looked way more like their mother than artemis did, who resembled her white father very much. i saw myself in her, someone disconnected from her mother in phenotype and culture. the genetics are there, but one has shown through dominant and the environment has raised her away from any kind of asian influence or culture that might have been hers. it was so important to me, and still is, that i got to have her as a character i could look up to because even though her asian heritage is hardly ever spoken of and isn't a plot line integral to her character in the show, it still mattered and made artemis more than whatever biases or standards were placed on her from looks alone. we can talk about how her mother was represented in the show, and how her sister jade subsequently fell to the same fate, and how neither of their stories or heritage matters a lick to anyone except to the characters themselves, but i just want it to be known how important a mixed girl like artemis was to me

I know it's a ""family show"" and all so there isn't really any swearing beyond a rare "damn" or "hell" but you just KNOW that Arthur probably doesn't actually swear that much bc the whole aristocratic bid is never saying directly what you mean, it's all backhanded 'compliments' and insinuations, and of course vulgarity would be considered crude and common. And then there's Merlin, scrappiest little motherfucker in the five kingdoms, who grew up a bastard-born peasant and probably knows every curse word and insult in Albion, and has even made up a few new ones for special occasions.
What I'm getting at here is Merlin just going the fuck off on some rude drunk in a tavern on one of their "pretending to be normal people" trips and Arthur being absolutely Shooketh as all his rich bitch genteel upbringing recoils in trained horror, but also a little amused and impressed. He didn't even know half the words Merlin used.
Arthur, still a little shook: Didn't your mother ever tell you it's impolite to use that sort of language?
Merlin, deeply amused at Arthur's discomfort: My mother is the one who taught me that sort of language.
hunith and merlin had a swear jar at home i accept no criticism
