The mind adapts and converts to its own purposes the obstacle to our acting. The impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.

I couldn't tell her. I knew the reason for my silence was the baby, the fact of her pregnancy, but why her unborn child should have made it impossible for me to speak still eludes me.

There are only two things: Pure Soul and circumstances; but the impediment of egoism does not allow them to be at peace.

Ok I don't like Joe Biden much and I know he's not in the race anymore, but we need to talk about the blatant fucking ableism some of y'all are doing with the whole "can't form sentences thing."

I cannot stress this to you enough.

Joe Biden HAS A STUTTER.

He has never lied about it, it has been with him his entire life, he's gone to speech therapy for it, and it has been well documented throughout his entire career as a politician.

His stopping and starting and rewording is, in fact, something he has done his entire career. Granted, not to this extent, it's clearly gotten worse due to the stressors of being The Fucking President and old age, but this IS NOT new.

There are many things to criticize Biden for. Having a literal speech disability while giving speeches and working in one of the most insanely stressful communications jobs in the world is not one of them.

If your disability advocacy stops when there's a funny joke to be made about a public figure being publicly disabled, please utterly and sincerely fuck off.

- Signed, someone whose stutter is incredibly similar to his, and is tired of people saying that people like me do not deserve to exist in the public eye

Stutter ~ Brothers!Sturniolo Triplets

Summary: You have always had a stutter, making you sometimes reluctant to talk, but your brothers encourage you to talk more.

Warnings: swearing, nicknames, stutter, speech impediment, mention of bullying/teasing, fluff

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You've always struggled with your speech. It wasn't the best when you were younger, but as you got older, you just developed a small stutter. Some days it wasn't bad, you'd only stutter on a few words, but on the bad days, it was every other word.

Nick, Matt and Chris helped you a lot with your speech. Helping you with the exercises the speech therapist gave you and would often read to you when you were younger.

As you hit high school and the guys moved to LA, you would call everyday to tell them what happened and they would instantly know if it was a good or bad day depending on how you talked.

The guys were home in Boston as your birthday was right around the corner so they wanted to spend longer at home catching up. You were sat on your bed, playing on your phone, when Chris poked his head in.

"Hey kid, wanna go get ice cream?" He asked.

"Sure." You replied shortly.

He smiled as he ran off, screaming for Nick. You laughed and slipped some shoes on before going to find your three brothers, all of which were waiting by the door, Chris laying on the floor.

"Why....Why are you on the floor?" You asked.

"Nick gut punched me." He groaned, sitting up.

"He fucking jumped on my back!" Nick shouted.

You laughed as Matt just rolled his eyes, grabbed the keys and started walking to the car. You soon followed, leaving the other two arguing.

As a result of that, you climbed in the front of the car, making Chris whine once he realised and had to sit in the back with Nick.

"If you....If you were quicker and....and s-stopped being a little ba-baby you'd be here!" You shouted, your stutter more noticeable as you spoke.

"Your the baby not me." Chris mumbled.

Matt then drove towards your favourite ice cream place. You looked out the window quietly. The car wasn't too loud for once, but you knew that would change soon.

When you arrived at the ice cream parlour, you all got out and saw it wasn't busy, which made you all more relaxed. You stood looking at the different flavours, when Nick looked down to you.

"What flavour would you like, sweetheart?" He asked.

You kept looking for a minute before pointing to the bubblegum flavour. Nick gave you a comforting smile.

"Come on kid, you can say the word." He said.

"Don't wanna." You muttered.

"Come on petal, just try." Matt said, appearing the other side of you.

You sighed and took a deep breath. The time you stuttered the most was when you said words with B.

"B...Bub....Bubblegum." You said slowly.

"Nice job kiddo!" Chris praised, making you smile.

Nick then ordered all the ice creams you wanted as you went to sit with Matt at a booth by the window. Matt took your hand, making you look at him.

"Wanna tell me why you weren't going to say bubblegum?" He asked softly.

You shrugged, but Matt could read you like a book, all of your brothers could. He gave you a small smile as Chris and Nick came over, passing you the ice cream and eating theirs.

"We're not going to push, bub, but if something is bothering you or someone, especially about your speech, we're here to help." Chris said.

"Just so-some kids at school. Nothing....Nothing to worry ab-about." You answered.

"What are they saying?" Matt questioned.

"Teasing." You admitted.

"Punch them in the face." Nick said, making you laugh.

"Maybe don't do that, but have you talked to mum or dad?" Matt replied.

"No...Tryin har-hard." You replied.

"We know you are, kid, but it's okay to ask for help." Chris said.

"We're proud of you, sweetheart. We understand it must be hard for you, but please don't stop talking, it's okay to have a stutter and we're always here to help. Your the most hard working teen we've ever met and we love you, okay." Nick said.

"Love you t-too." You responded, making them smile.

How I'd like to think the P4 conversation before Ciel's arrival at Weston College went.

Greenhill: Bluewer. I hear a new student will be joining your house very soon.

Bluewer: Indeed. From my understanding he comes highly recommended on special circumstance. Even so, I worry his late arrival will be a detriment to his catching up on his studies.

Redmond: Well, if you don't want him, we can certainly find a spot for him at Red House. He meets all our criteria and I hear he's an accomplished earl and business owner. Spectacular addition, if you ask me.

Violet: His admittance halfway into the year is strange, though... He's too eccentric... Even for us.

Greenhill: Enough. There's no point talking about where he would or would not fit in best because the Headmaster assigned him to Blue House and that's final.

Redmond: But Midford says he doesn't wear glasses.

Bluewer: *adjusts glasses disapprovingly*

Violet: But he does have an eyepatch.

Bluewer: *adjusts glasses approvingly*

Finally watched Blue Eye Samurai and damn, this show really is everything everyone's been saying. But also man, it's really making me think how much I wish non-animated shows focused on visuals. With everything being nearly-fully CGI, why do movies and shows have to look so... boring? If a friend group with a 90s camcorder can do it, why can't Disney (check out GGLS btw)? Idk, just frustrates me. Anyway, here's this show being eye candy.

Alpha Beta kids headcanons.

They're all Filipino.🇵🇭🇵🇭

[mayasaura]

where do you think “griddle” as a nickname came from?

I have thought about this! I think it initially came from Harrow being two years old and not quite having gotten the hang of enunciation or compound vowels.

It stuck around mostly because Gideon hated it—that's not her name!!—and even as toddlers, Harrow's favorite game was getting under her skin.

Totally...amazing mk voiceover uh yeah❤️

Shout out to people with incredibly nasally voices, shout out to people with lisps, shout out to stutter-ers, shout out to people who can't say certain words "correctly", shout out to people who can't pronounce certain letters and syllables "right", screaming and hooting and hollering for people who's speech is impacted by neruodivergence or disabilities!

if anyone has approached you at any age about speech therapy, if you've ever been made fun of, just know I love you from a very respectful distance, I'm waving at you from across the street, and you're my cup of tea and also you inherently deserve respect!!!

[cdmodule]

A few months ago I drew out some headcanons related to various disablities & other physical conditions and decided to finish them up now that It's disability pride month ( Even If not all are necessarily disablitles <3 )
