"I am to be a king of a ruined world and I shall never die"

Gonna make this my graduation yearbook quote in honor of my favorite 250 year old pathetic evil apocalypse-starting bureaucratic catboy homophobic gay twink man.

I feel like it really describes my vision for myself and the world around me going forward <3

there's no worse betrayal than being mocked by the people who were supposed to understand you. the people who say, i'm the same as you, we both have the same mental illness/neurodivergency/disability/etc, i understand you... and then berate you for your symptoms. the ones you finally believe are standing by you, picking apart every behavior and insisting that you're trying to hurt them, that you're acting like a child, that you're being selfish, inconsiderate, a monster. that shit stings worse than ableism from a neurotypical/abled person, it will make you feel like you aren't a person and like you can't be loved.

It's childish to try and hot box an open field with nothing but your own pity to have to crawl into somebody's inbox just to get a kick out of their responses with your meaningless banter.

You're wasting time and energy in trying to hate on someone who is just plainly minding their business with doing what they love on their OWN blog.

HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT!!

This is a shorter reaction post, but I have to just...

STILES NO!!!

STOP IT!!!

I KNEW YOU WERE GONNA DO THAT!!!

STOP THAT!!!

"Allison's dead. Now I guess the only good thing is it looks like I'm dying too."

STILES NO!!!

STOP IT!!!

BABY NO!!!

They CAN'T lose you too. They CAN'T.

You HAVE to understand that.

Losing Allison broke Scott, but losing you would SHATTER HIM.

And the rest of the pack would go right down with him.

It is NOT a good thing that you're dying. Not at all.

So STOP THINKING IT, and LET US STOP IT.

Holy f*ck.

I knew his guilt complex was gonna be bad, but I wasn't expecting him to say it like THAT.

Stiles no.

Please stop blaming yourself.

None of this is your fault, and we're gonna figure it out, okay?

OKAY?!

F*ck me.

(The quote's not there, but the emotion is, and F*CK I HATE THIS!)

I have had the most shittest day in the history of shitty days. Thank you for healing a little of my sadness with your most recent fic. It was the first time I smiled today and I'm heading to bed feeling a little bit lighter than I did 20 mintues ago. You and your writing are a gift 💜

Anon, you won't believe this, but I have also had a shitty, shitty day today, and this comment is like a nice bath that I can just soak in and forget the world exists, so thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I hope tomorrow is better for you, I love you, sleep tight 💕

Imagine having a face.

Couldn't be me.

The math just adds up!

the men and boys are innocent too.

we cry "the innocent women and children" to appeal to the masses, to try and force their sympathy, but the men and boys are innocent too.

I have seen sons crying out for their mothers, their fathers, their siblings. I have seen them break down at the loss of their families. I have seen them cling to their dead and grieve.

I have seen fathers cradle their dead children, seen them kiss their faces and hold their little hands. I have seen them faint with grief when asked to identify the dead. I have seen them carry their sons and daughters. I have seen them fasting to provide what little they can for their families.

I have seen men and boys digging through the rubble with just their bare hands, I have seen them comforting strangers, playing with children, rocking them, hushing them, even if the face of such imminent danger. I have seen them cry, seen them grieve, seen them break down into each other's arms, seen them be selfless, beyond selfless, becoming something I don't have a word for.

I have seen the men who are doctors refuse to leave their patients, even when they have no medicine or supplies to give them, even when they're threatened with bombings. I have seen fathers who have lost all their children pick orphans up into their arms and proclaim them their child so they are not alone. I have seen men and boys digging pets out of the rubble.

the men are innocent too. the men and boys are being hurt and killed too. the men and boys are grieving too. the men and boys are scared too. the men and boys are fighting to save their people too. the men and boys deserve to be fought for too.

Before I got to high school, I was in a hellish loop called depression, today I laugh about it because it's in the past but...

My skin full of scar, not beautiful and insomnia until no hours was awful, no one deserves all this sorrow

(Today I'm better and my scars are gone, I'm lucky to have a genetics of steel galvanise)

I think so many people are so deeply alienated from themselves that they have no clue how to exercise their free will and autonomy. For some, this alienation runs so deep that they are afraid of their own autonomy and humanity. It is completely understandable why one would have those feelings, but it can be worrisome.

I want to help others who feel this way, so here are small things I have done to exercise my free will:

Add "guilty pleasure" songs to playlists and actually listen to them (I have a ton of late 1990s-early 2000s music I listen to now proudly that I never listened to in the past out of shame)

Getting the décor item, bath set, bed spread, ect. in the patterns you like, even if it's "childish" (I got a dinosaur-themed wastebasket from the kids' décor section and I adore it)

Taking a new route to get to a place you go to often

Eat dessert first

Celebrate well, and often

Collect things that are "odd" or don't seem like an "acceptable" thing to collect (somebody on my "for you" page collects dandelion crayola crayons and it was so cool!!!!!!)

Incorporate one new piece in an outfit you wear frequently (e.g., a new chain, a necklace, ribbons, bracelets, ect.). Challenge yourself to add onto the outfits if you feel up for it.

Sing along to songs without worrying that you sound "good" or your intonation is completely accurate

Read a book from a genre you weren't allowed to read as a kid (comics, thrillers, mysteries, anything!)

Walk without having a specific destination or goal

Pick up a new craft without expecting yourself to master it or to ever be "good" enough. Get your hands messy.

I don't want to shame anybody for not feeling as though they have free will or that they are exempt from exercising it. However, I wanted to give ideas so that you might read this list and find your own ways to express your intrinsic autonomy and will. You deserve to be a person, to feel alive, not just living. That is what our lives are for.

every time a new SA allegation of a favored celeb arises, i'm reminded of the absolutely soul-crushing experience of the depp/heard trial in which i learned that dozens of ppl i loved + respected + trusted were also willing to engage in the basest form of misogyny if the woman Seemed Crazy Enough. there was a horrifying 2ish weeks on this website + much longer irl where i genuinely felt unsafe voicing my discomfort as i relived something eerily reminiscent of the aftermath of my own assaults playing out on screen, commented on by true crime youtubers like it was a red sox game.

it happens time + time again with every new allegation + it's truly the most agonizing + exhausting part of being a survivor. i am begging you all to consider that survivors are watching you engage with this stuff like theater + it erodes our trust in all of you + compounds our grief.
