Born one of two, intrigued too much to perish

More Jonathan and Nancy stuff

…I just think they’re neat.

yes hi hello exactly this

The way so many in the GA believe that canonically neglected, abused, poor Jonathan Byers should be punished like an adult, forever shamed and barred from happiness due to one really poor decision he made at 16 years old during a tremendously traumatizing time is, like, kinda true life

S1 Joyce(Tbh whole show Joyce): *Has genuinely been so disconnected from her traumatized from abuse oldest son's life that he doesn't go to her for anything from the age of FIFTEEN onwards and when his brother dies he plans the funeral on his own and then mourns on his own while working a job to add extra income for the family* Random Steve fans on Tumblr like: "She should also shout at and disown him because he made a mistake" Seriously like there is something unsettling about people seeing a character that is abused,traumatized and neglected and wanting that character to get more emotionally scarred,traumatized and abused by his neglectful mother. I'm tired of seeing this crap in the Jonathan Byers tag honestly.

Fucking EXACTLY, thank you OP!!!! Jonathan doesn’t make any more or any worse mistakes than a lot of people make when they’re GROWN, never mind when they’re a parentified, abused, traumatised, and so ingrained as a people-pleaser that they feel guilty for needing anything. You can *tell* that S4 Jonathan has been trying to be hyper-independent his whole adolescence, and didn’t know what the hell to do when the threat was no longer present after leaving Hawkins, and turned to weed in his depression. He deserves MORE love, MORE understanding. You can make a clear-eyed assessment of what someone has done that’s wrong, without ignoring why they might be behaving that way.

So I’ve seen some posts that are like “Vecna is gonna out Mike” and I’m not saying he might not, the bitch is horrific. But I can’t help but imagine the scenario going a lot like the ‘Cupid forces Nico Di Angelo to confess he liked Percy ‘scene but on steroids.

And I desperately want Jonathan to be Jason in that scenario, the witness, because Mike would be terrified in the aftermath if it was anyone else. So scared he might run.

But it’s Jonathan, it’s Jonathan Byers who never cared about what people thought. It’s Jonathan whose supported and cared for Will. It’s Jonathan, fellow weirdo and the guy whose been in his life as long as Will because the Byers are a set.

So he stays, he’s shaking from having his secrets carved out. Shaking from the vines that had wrapped around him, and his broken arm but he stays.

He stays, and he gets wrapped in a crushing hug that felt nothing like those vines. And he whispers he’s okay, and it’s a balm to Mike’s psyche after it was filled with Henry Creel’s taunting sinister voice.

As much as I love Steve and/or Eddie being there for Will, can we stop pretending like Jonathan and their very canon conversation in the diner doesn’t exist?

Jancy forhead touches you will always be famous 🤧

My babies.....

Just thinking about how Jonathan planned wills “funeral” all by hisself…he was 16 and had to make all of the decisions for his little brothers funeral who at the time he didn’t know was actually alive…

The Czechs would like to have a chat

2 genres of fanfiction:

1) put that guy into situations

2) take that guy OUT of situations for the love of GOD let them REST 

If you don't judge people for saying "sorry ahdh brain" in public, then don't judge people for saying "sorry schizophrenia brain" in public

If you correct people when they misuse the term "ocd" then you need to correct people when they misuse the terms "psychotic", "delusional", "hallucinating" and "schizophrenic"

If you don't stare, laugh at or fear a stranger in public flapping their hands, then you need to do the same for a stranger in public talking to someone who isn't actually there.

If you give a trigger warning to sensitive topics then you need to give a trigger warning to unreality and false information as a prank.

If you want to normalize medication like antidepressants you also need to normalize medications like antipsychotics.

If you don't like people without your disorder joking about it online and report it as harassment, then you need to do the same for the tons of nonschizophrenics making "schizoposting" memes to make fun of us.

Just please include schizo-spec and psychotic acceptance into your mental illness/neurodiversity acceptance. We are part of your community whether you like it or not. We are constantly stigmatized, misrepresented and made fun of. We do what we can to help you, please return the favor.

Mental illness/neurodiversity acceptance is an ongoing action. We will get nowhere in the long run if we split the community into the "in" group and the "out" group. We could all accomplish so much if we worked together. But you need to include the "weird" people that don't fit into your aesthetic and don't fit the social norms.

Us psychotics and schizo-specs have been struggling for years and have been the only people fighting for ourselves while the people we plead to barely see us as human. If you are nonpsychotic and nonschizo-spec, you can help us more than you realize. Please include us and stick up for us the same way we have been including and sticking up for you.

i understand that this is the "disabled people know our own limitations" website, but ime, if you are the kind of disabled where everyone around you knows about it and has known you as a weak, incompetent, subhuman creature your entire life: it is important to learn how to make the distinction between "i can't" and "i'm not allowed to."

"i can't hold fragile things without breaking them" vs "my housemates won't let me do dishes anymore."

"i can't manage my own finances" vs "my family won't let me make my own financial decisions"

"i can't ever learn how to drive" vs "the state has decided that people with my disability cannot be allowed to drive."

also "what would need to happen for it to be possible for me to be able to do dishes?" or "what would i need if i were to ever move out?" or "what kinds of supports would i need if i did try volunteering?"

even if the answer to these you come away with is "i actually cannot do the thing, no matter what supports or accommodations i'm given" that's fine! they're still useful questions to ask!

I'm just interested in this. Pls reblog for a bigger voting block.

i know most of the "jaskier is super powerful secretly" content comes from netflix fans and there's nothing necessarily wrong with that kind of content. HOWEVER. it has always bothered me because there's an implication in those works that jaskier must be powerful to have value to both geralt and the narrative, which goes directly against the message the books go out of their way to nail into you every 5 seconds and that is that jaskier is incredibly useless in most ways and even sometimes a hindrance but geralt keeps him around because he values and cares for him so much that jaskier being with him makes geralt's life more tolerable

Blossoms is such an underrated TAD song honestly, I never think about it then it comes on and I lose my absolute shit

@consultingskeletondetective THE VIOLIN JUST BEFORE "MY DRESS IS ON FIRE"😭🔥

As a society, we view accommodations in a really illogical, detrimental way. No one really says it out right, but there seems to be this weird unwritten rule that disabled people only need/deserve accommodations if they absolutely cannot complete a task without them. 

In reality, disability is much more complex than “can” vs. “can’t.” Some disabled people can manage certain things only on a good day. Some might be able to manage a task, but will suffer unnecessarily (emotional reactions, pain, fatigue, etc) when a non-disabled person would not. 

The thing about that is…all people have needs, but society is built to satisfy only one set of needs (the needs of non-disabled people). That’s the whole reason accommodations are important, because disabled people deserve to have their needs met just as much non-disabled people.
