Smol rock to stand on
Anyway I bought a super cute jumper today. Just wanted to let you all know.
As a nonbinary person it feels uncomfortable when strangers perceive my partner and I as a straight couple,
But it's hilarious to me when they perceive us as father and son.
"Does he have his own luggage?" the agent behind the check-in desk asks brightly, making eye contact with my partner.
"Just carry-on," I say as I slide my driver's license across the counter toward her. Confusion dawns on her face. She glances up at me briefly before printing my boarding pass in silence.
"A soap making booth!" I exclaim. I've been to the renaissance faire a dozen times but I've never visited this shop. "Let's make soap!"
"First you have to ask your Responsible Adult for five dollars," says the vendor in a measured, singsong voice, and wags her index finger at me.
I look around, confused. Who is she talking about? Does she mean the young man trailing behind me? I turn back to her.
"I have five dollars ..."
"Well you still have to ask him," she smiles sweetly.
As I open my mouth to ask why, I suddenly realize she has misjudged my age by at least two decades.
"I'm older than he is," is all I can think of to say.
"Would you like a children's menu?"
"Sure, and if you're taking drink orders, I could also go for a Corona."
Hey op?
HOW???
I'm short
Do not underestimate how often short people get read as children. I’m 5’9” while @completeutterwonderfulnonsense is 5’2” and more than once it’s been assumed that they’re my daughter.

How screwed are you? /end ID.]
having a crush as an adult is so embarrassing i’m literally too old for this. i should be busy with my blacksmith apprenticeship or something
its unreal how all of my favorite characters have exactly the same traits and hobbies and diagnoses as me
oh, have you been tricked into loving yourself?
oh my fucking god is that what just happened
“It's taboo to admit that you're lonely. You can make jokes about it, of course. You can tell people that you spend most of your time with Netflix or that you haven't left the house today and you might not even go outside tomorrow. But rarely do you ever tell people about the true depths of your loneliness, about how you feel more and more alienated from your friends each passing day and you're not sure how to fix it. It seems like everyone is just better at living than you are. A part of you knew this was going to happen. Growing up, you just had this feeling that you wouldn't transition well to adult life, that you'd fall right through the cracks. And look at you now, it's happening.”

For context hes a writer and actor who's gay and has cerebral palsy.
thinking about how five immediately recognized tegan's capacity for "keeping us all together during the healing time", only to ditch her precisely when that quality was needed most 😬
Does that mean Tegan just had the TARDIS key with her the entire time she was on earth?
lol she must've!! imagine if she'd stumbled across the wrong doctor's tardis sometime that year and just let herself in?!
She could have just waltzed in to any old TARDIS on earth during 1982-3
Unless key shape makes a difference.

being a girl and hitting puberty is so traumatic. you go from being a genderless little free thing to being hit with shaving and makeup and growing breasts and skincare and menstruation and suddenly being sexualised when like a few years ago you could take your shirt off to play in the stream and trade yugioh cards with the boys and come home covered in mud and not even think about it. and then you spend years hating being a girl and hating everything puberty did to you and wishing you could be a boy or be completely genderless again and it takes you Many years to come to terms with yourself Or you simply try to Lean In to everything and do makeup tutorials on YouTube and claim it’s for fun. like how can this be treated as normal
trans people AND cis women 🤝 struggling to exist in a marked body which the world wants to shape, control and project meaning on to against your will
died and came back wrong <- became deeply depressed at age 12 and never fully recovered
real talk no joke if this site ever closes its gates and shuts down I will literally be so fucking inconsolable it’s not even funny.
if you date a left handed person as a rightie it means you can hold hands together while holding swords in your dominant hands and fighting off your mutual enemies <3

to put it simply, the right people will get you. you will not have to fight for breadcrumbs of love. you will not have to beg for attention. the right people will love you freely and easily, and will carve out space in their life for you. the right people will check up on you on your bad days & laugh with you on your good. you will find friends who embrace every part of you, and who will push you to grow. someday, any trace of those who hurt you will be filled with warmth from those who never will.
