Is That Who I Think It Is??

Unpopular opinion: I wish they kept Phillip Wittebane as the main antagonist and didn’t include the collector at all

@chaotic-hypnotic-erotic how did Hohenzollern and Hanover vote?

Fever is a hilarious immune response. Our bodies tell the disease “hey, wanna see which one of us dies of overheating first? No? Too bad.” and honestly they’re not even the winners a decent chunk of the time but it works often enough that we never evolved it away or anything. Fantastic work.

The fact that people are claiming that they won’t trust the allegations against Neil Gaiman because the author of the article is “TeRfy” is bullshit. People cry out “support victims” unless the supposedly wrong kind of person calls attention to it. Like fuck man just the age range between Gaiman and his victims is more than enough evidence for me

I post a lot for someone who claims to have a life

Why must all fanfics who portray Autistic! Zuko make him an awkward turtleduck?? (Speaking as an autistic person)

I think it's related to an odd fetishization of autistic people as "soft" and "vulnerable" and "helpless." Making someone "autistic" is a way to "babyfy" them and make them more "cute" and "awkward." People not interested in actually writing autism accurately; instead people who want to write "awkward turtleduck" Zuko use "autism" as a crutch to further that characterization. Interestingly, I have read a few fanfics which try to write neurodivergent Azula, and it never looks anything like the common depiction of "autistic Zuko."

Full disclosure: I'm not neurodivergent myself, and I'm not sure what the best way to depict autism is. It just seems to me that common "Autistic! Zuko" portrayals aren't very accurate.

“Cause here’s the thing. To know how it ends, and still to begin to sing it again. As if it might turn out this time. I learned that from a friend of mine.”

I feel like a lot of women grow up feeling "not like other girls" because we're constantly pushed so many differing views of what it means to be a woman that we end up overlooking that we are all still girls and later women regardless of our personalities

Old followers or people who have only now discovered my account I ask that you check the pinned post as it's been updated

I’ve also never really heard a man go “Hope that makes sense” after he’s done talking about something yet most of the women (myself included though I’m trying to break the habit) I know say it all the time even if they’re near experts on what they’re talking about. Men get to exist and have thoughts but we have to have a bunch of disclaimers around it

its rare that you will hear of anyone other than a woman being described as 'opinionated' because a man with an opinion is simply a man but a woman with one is clearly malfuctioning as she defies her programming
