IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! WOO!!!

I’m honestly a mix of neutral and positive when it comes to other people, but when it comes to me I feel a mix of like a feeling of uncomfortableness(?) as well as dread(?) (if that makes sense) (idk how to explain it exactly)

Okay actually, while I'm thinking about it, folks who experience romance repulsion, what is the main feeling you would describe romance repulsion as?

At least for me I feel some combination of these things, but there is a clear winner in what it feels most-like. Please leave in the tags any specifics you can, I haven't ever actually heard people describe romance repulsion (or what specifically triggers it! Now that I'm thinking about it, please also add when you seem to feel it) and I'd love to feel less alone in a very specific feeling

Enjoy these photos of my baby, I got more that I’ll post at a later time/date

Yes yes yes, this, this right here

I think more people should headcanon characters as repulsed, loveless, and non-partnering actually.

🤸 Welcome to marine facts with Bagel: part 3

Unlike us humans whose hearts accelerate when we panic or get scared a narwhal's heart does the opposite and slows down. When panicked narwhals can essentially become so scared that their heart slows down enough to the point that it stops. When scientists are trying to help narwhals that are stuck under ice they have to be extra careful because of the consequences scaring a narwal has.

Bagel out 🤸

Damn, looks like I have to add this bird to my list of favorite birds

Common Potoo (Nyctibius griseus), mother with chick, family Nyctibiidae, order Nyctibiiformes, Brazil

Potoos used to be in the same order as nightjars, but are now placed in their own order.

I feel like there’s a pretty common misconception that agender (and by extension, nonbinary) people only use they/them pronouns. So here’s a reminder that our identities are just as valid regardless of what combination of pronouns we use ‼️

I can actually relate to most of this list, though I don’t call myself semiverbal (this is not to say that others who relate to this aren’t allowed to call themselves semiverbal) (if that makes sense) (I’m just not sure if I can consider myself semiverbal)

(I’m not sure where I fall on the verbal? scale?)

what semiverbal looks like for me:

going entire days without talking except for a few words and not noticing

going entire days saying maybe one word answers

communicating primarily through text and typing the majority of the time if i can get away with it

forgetting how to physically speak sometimes. i will know what words to say but mouth won't be able to do it

words getting mashed up and slurred together for no reason

communicating in scripts and preplanned words

if no script prepared, it's extremely difficult to come up with coherent words on the spot

constantly saying the wrong words and nothing like what i meant to say

always having to have somebody else go with places in case of needing to speak, so they can talk for me

blanking out on words and just not responding to people, sometimes walking away because too much pressure to speak

having to have someone else make phone calls for me, anything that involves a phone call i can't do

keeping like 3-4 aac methods on me at all times but still being scared to use them because that means communicating, why not just point at stuff instead

I have watched “The Witch” (also known as “The VVitch”) this Thursday (Halloween) and here’s something I noticed this run through that I missed the first time I watched it

Spoilers ahead

Ok so Thomasin in order to prove that she is not the witch who has been tormenting and murdering her family and that it may be Jonas and Mercy (two of her younger siblings) she states that Lucifer is known for taking the form of a horned beast (such as a goat), the twins constantly say that Black Philip (who is a goat) (and is actually the Devil in the form of a goat) tell them things, Thomasin says that the Devil always whispers in his adversaries(?) ears WHISPERS (she reiterates the “whisper”which is why I capitalize it like that)

Then the mom, Katherine, has a dream(?) that her two other children, Sam and Caleb have come back to her, in this dream the older son Caleb whispers the whole time even asking her to look at a book for him, which it is stated that the Devil has a book that he gets people to sign

This means (and I could be wrong) that the Devil used Katherine’s grief over her dead sons in order to get her to sign his book
