what doesn't kill you makes you weird at intimacy

Daryl (+Beth) and ‘settling down’

In season 6, everyone is surprised to learn that Michonne and Rick are now together, after they were literally caught naked.

Daryl seemed to think little of it, and continued his season 5 and onward trend of disinterest and lack of any real passion or enthusiasm.

Then Abraham asks him point blank,

He’s closed off, but lets his face slip for just a moment. It’s like you can see him seeing that moment right before she was taken- again and again. He looks so sad and tired. From season 5 he seems to use his hair as a physical shield from others.

Daryl never opens up about Beth, not even to Carol or to Rick, but it’s more in what he doesn’t say that’s revealing. He doesn’t say, ‘no actually, I never have thought about that’. Instead, he says

It reminds me of another scene from early in Alexandria, where he’s fully shut down post-coda, and Rick tries to reach him. I think it may be Rick trying to kind of sus out what type of bond Daryl and Beth had, by bringing up his loss of Lori. Either way, it seems very intentional to have Rick open up about this specifically to Daryl. Like he said in the episode following her death, “I know you lost something back there.”

He’s clearly trying to encourage him to go explore their new home, like the rest, by hinting that even though Lori didn’t make it, he’s still going on. He’s not dead, and neither is Daryl, not yet at least.

Again, what Daryl doesn’t say is more interesting. He doesn’t say ‘oh well that’s sad you lost someone, I can’t relate’. Instead, he seems to acquiesce to what Rick is saying, an agreement and sharing of his nostalgia.

‘Here we are.’ Just not with them.

Why would he want to go look around? She’s not there so it’s hollow anyways. It means nothing to him, because she’s not enjoying it. She’s gone, just like Lori’s gone.

In 4x13, it’s a totally different Daryl than we’ve really ever seen, relaxed, teasing, content. He doesn’t even have the same constant pacing about to explode, about to leave any minute energy. He’s planted into the ground, happily. They no longer look for the others, the seasons are changing, and they have each other, and that’s enough now. Without realizing, the entire goal of their days has changed, from frantic searching and despair, to more ease and comfort.

Beth makes it clear she’s tired of moving on, so it’s all left to his decision. When he finally suggests they stay, she doesn’t seem shocked. It looks like she knew she could convince him to stay from the start, and just had to play it right. She looks happy, just like he does.

Abraham never met Beth, but he met her on her death bed, cradled in Daryl’s arms. He saw the emotion, the care he took of her lifeless body.

Like Rick, I’m sure he’s assuming that if Daryl had thought about settling down since the world had ended, it would have been with the girl whose body he held with such reverence and sorrow.

He never says No,

because he had thought about it, but shit doesn’t settle.

Happy Thursday beautiful souls💜

May favour be upon you delighting you with magical experiences this day🌻🌹

Dare to do things differently to manifest your dreams.

Be courageous,let go of the past and step into the magic

of a new day.🤗As we step into fresh chapters of life,

let's remember: a true new beginning calls for improved

actions.Don't fall into the trap of unchanged attitudes,

yielding the same old results.Shift your mindset

To reclaim your true self, you must first recognize

that you are all possibilities, not limited by others'

expectations or societal norms.

Reclaiming your authentic nature is not a passive

process but an active one that involves aligning

with your inner being, regulating your behavior,

and choosing responses that are intuitively synced

to your highest good.

 Recognize that Your life is scripted by the choices you make💜

Don’t equate

challenges

with punishment.

Instead view it as an

opportunity for growth,

a time to rise, to level up,

and be transformed.

Clear the mind from

misgivings and doubts

to enable you to continue

your journey with

certainty,

knowing where you

need to be.  

Recognize that your

response

to life events

determine

your sense of

wellbeing in life.

What doesn't kill you makes you weird at intimacy

[nemralam]

Ever wondered why you were born at this particular time in the history of human existence? Why not a decade, not a century or not even a millennium ago?

Why, among the countless stellar phenomena and quantum fluctuations were you placed in this precise moment with the specific people and circumstances you're surrounded by?

It was all strategic not by happenstance, but calculated with the precision of neutronis interactions. There's a reason you're on this earth and a purpose behind every person's existence in this specific cosmic time. When one discovers the purpose of their being, they will live with much peace and happiness.

autism is a social communication and processing disability. if you’re a nazi, it’s not because you’re autistic, it’s because you’re a nazi. now’s not the time to infantilise or write off autistic people because we don’t know what we’re doing. I guarantee you, we do. not making eye contact, not speaking, not making the ‘correct’ or ‘socially acceptable’ facial expression or using the right tone in conversation is not the same as getting up on one of the most public stages of this current time and using that platform to *repeatedly* do a nazi salute. autistic people and allistic people alike will know what that gesture is and what it means if we’ve been educated about it. (and all of us very much should be no matter what your education looked like: public/private/home school, books, the internet, whatever. If you aren’t then I suggest you get educated.) This leaves two options: he, a multi billionaire with a damn near monopoly of power and control over some of our most important/social and economic spaces, is uneducated about the Nazi regime. which is fucking scary. OR, he not only knows and understands what the nazi salute looks like and signifies, he actively agrees with and believes in it. which is even fucking scarier. And I don’t think I need to specify which option is likely correct. The issue is not that he’s autistic. The issue is that he believes in Nazi ideologies and feels comfortable publicising that in front of a nation and wider world because he believes there won’t be any consequences. Do not excuse his behaviour because he’s autistic. Hold him accountable.

if you know anything about me you know I live in Japan right. and if you know anything about gay people in general you know that I have pet rats. if you know anything about the japanese language you know that "nezumi" means not only "mouse" and "rat" but also, only as a minor stretch, means "rodent" in general

this means i have basically the same conversation every time I tell someone about my pets. surely you mean hamster, they say. this is your second language, surely they are thinking. no, I say, I said what I meant. and they say, a degu or perhaps a chinchilla. And I say no. ガチのねずみ. And they say. An actual ass rat? and I say please picture the scrappy title character of "Remy's Delicious Restaurant" fame.

and so they ask for pictures. and I show them. And this is another thing about japanese is there is very little use of plurals in regular conversation. So then their reaction is. THREE OF THEM?

isnt language beautiful

Stupid ass Twitter post that’s going onto Tumblr cause funny

[parad0ze]

Sg first aid would be the type of person to play those horror baby laughing sounds in the dark (the dark wouldn’t stop him actually now that I think about it) OR I’d find it really fun if his laugh just happens to sound like that. I want him to scare the ever living shit out of everyone within a 5000 mile radius of him is what I’m trying to say.

Love ignites your sacred fire burning with a searing heat that puts your soul on fire to purify you, removing all barriers within to reach the sublime state of unconditional love that aligns you with Source.Love imbues you with the qualities that solidify the sense of oneness and intensifies your connections with others as love extinguishes fear and bridges differences, allowing your true essence, your love and light to shine brightly, delighting and healing all that behold it

Love brings hope and joy into your existence. Its absence equates to a disconnect from your soul and by default, Source. This causes emotional numbness leading you to try and think your way through life which makes for a mundane existence devoid of joy as it is Love that allows you to experience the beauty of life
