I saw an ask in this blog earlier about not wanting to watch romantic movies with family for fear of being called childish, and it was tagged with "infantilisation". This made me seriously reflect on a) my understanding of what infantilisation actually is, and b) the fact that this is literally what my family keep on repeatedly telling me that I'm just not old enough to fully understand these concepts (this was especially prominent after we watched Love Actually together). After that convo, I searched up the average age allos start to experience romantic attraction, and the median apparently is nearby 6-8 years old. I am nowhere near to being that young- it's not an issue of me being childish, it's just my family assuming that there's no way a young adult could not want romance without said young adult being immature and childish.

I kind of went away from the original point of this ask, so I'll circle back to it now- it's insane how often people consider lack of romantic attraction to be a negative, immature, and childish thing that you can just "grow out of". Absolute BS. I never realised that infantilisation was this prominent, and definitely didn't notice it in my own life until now.

Man, some (most) allos really need to get their shit together sometimes and stop being so wrapped up in their own little worlds.

One by one, the souls awaken.

[Ame is the first, standing frozen in fear. Noticing other souls, a smile spreads onto their face.] New friends! Do you wanna play with me?

[Raz is the second, he is on his back leaning on his arm with his hand reaching out] Please I just wanna go ho-huh? Where am I? Where's Asgore? Where did you all come from?

[Kay is the third, clutching their chest and gasping for breath off of instinct alone] I can't believe he actually went through with it...

[Fourth is Addi, who comes to in a kneeling position.] I'm... still.. alive...? Why didn't he- ...humans? What's going on?!

[Fifth was Gaius, immediately running around, in the other SOULs faces.] Come on, we gotta go, the CORE is melting down! There was an accident! Come on! Come... Wait a minute... [He slows down, realizing these are other humans.] Who ARE you guys?

[Moss is the sixth, facedown on the ground, one arm raised above them as if reaching for something. They groan as they get up and turn around.] Can you STOP throwing- is this hell?

I’m really enamored with the dynamic of two characters who work perfectly in tandem, like pacific rim drift compatible level, but they don’t like each other. It’s not even as strong an emotion as hate it’s just a very neutral-negative dislike, but they still act in perfect concert and their individual abilities are fully complementary

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

if you post an image in discord itll round the corners, but once you hit a certain smallness it rounds into a circle. so basically if you make an image that is 32x32 and you post it in discord itll go from this

to this.

so you basically can just draw a little face in mspaint or something and paste it into discord and itll look like a little emoji. you can potentially mess around with this a lot, its proportional to your image going smaller and it doesnt have to be a square either.

TAP 

TAP 

TAP 

Its Pulsating 

Its Darkening 

Again, and Again and Again 

So Close 

So Far 

I Can See It 

But I Can’t Reach 

TAP

TAP 

A Hole 

So small you barely notice 

But he does. For he knows more than all. 

And so. He falls. 

And Falls 

And Falls 

Until he falls into a sea of foam 

Made for creation 

For imagination 

With what little power he has 

Perhaps.... 

He can create a home. 

All he needs 

Is a key
