I put my silly little gay things in here. This is the online version of my collection of trinkets.

Misha Collins is the funniest straight man ever. He’s the only person to arguably queerbait in real life. He had to come out as a straight. He was told by WB to just stay bisexual. He’s living every homophobe’s nightmare scenario but the only difference is that everyone actually loves it for him

We suspected that the Count had started to disrupt Jonathan's sleep schedule on purpose, and today we see that this nocturnal existence has been telling on Jonathan. He can't even get a full night's sleep anymore before waking up, exhausted and confused.

But today, another everyday ritual has been changed. Without his mirror, Jonathan can no longer shave.

Yes, his "how am I supposed to shave now!" is funny. But it had also been giving him a rare sense of normalcy.

Rituals and routine can be really soothing and comforting. Normal. And they are the first things taken away from him. He can't have regular nights (bedtime, full night's sleep) nor regular mornings (waking up refreshed, shaving) anymore.

On top of that, the man he's dependant on has just destroyed one of his belongings, just because he got angry. After entering his room without permission, and touching him (and then grabbing him).

Jonathan now knows that he's not safe even in his own room, and that what belongs to him can be disposed of on a whim.

Within the first three days in the Castle, Dracula has 1. gone from testing if Jonathan will react to his touch to straight up escorting him by arm to dinner and now touching him from behind his back, 2. been disrupting his sleep (and blamed Jonathan for it) 3. invaded his privacy, 4. destroyed his belongings, 5. been gaslighting him

All those are abuse tactics and Jonathan has only slowly been realising it. Because those have been getting contrasted by how nice, providing, generous, and gentle the Count has been otherwise. He's been feeding him well, entertaining him, guiding him. He's nice and so strong and makes Jonathan feel safe! He must have been just paranoid!

Until now.

tldr I was looking up the classification system for cerebral palsy (GMFCS) and part of the 2nd level is "climbing stairs with the use of a railing" which just about knocked me out. Ableds. . . are you not. . . using railings? it's right there? this is trying to tell me it's abled culture Not to use the railing?

(use your best judgement as to whether or not abledness applies to you here. mostly I mean disabilities that would have some impact on stair-climbing, natch. chronic pain/fatigue counts, but, like, d/Deafness wouldn't, you get me?)

"art is about Love--" maybe take a look at some art that explores the deep cruelty and violence of the human condition, feel your soul shudder in your chest, and develop a greater appreciation for the vast world we live in

You can’t let intrusive thoughts “win” because there isn’t a fight to win. There is no fight. There is no danger to contain. The “fight” is punching yourself in the face and telling yourself that if you don’t do this, you’re going to accidentally act on something that terrifies you to your core. That’s the biggest reason why I hate that phrase so much. Not just because it creates misunderstandings and stigma in the minds of the unaffected, but also because it literally encourages the “O” in “OCD” for the affected. “Haha you gotta fight them! Fight it so much it ruins your life! You wouldn’t want them to win, do you?” Even when people are trying to dunk on how stupid that idea is, they still make jokes like “haha if I let my intrusive thoughts win I would be in jail” and it’s like…no you won’t. If you let your intrusive thoughts “win” nothing would happen because it’s just an unpleasant thought with no power. You let the intrusive thought wash over you, you let it “win” by letting it slither over your open palm, you say “that was weird”, and you continue with life. You don’t put it under a microscope. You don’t clench onto it trying to kill it, you just let it go. And then it’s fine.

in conversation about white people who go to Japan and expect their knowledge of anime to culturally carry them, I was once posed with “it’s like if there was a Japanese guy who was obsessed with spongebob and came over here and thought he could get by just communicating in spongebob quotes.” This is a false equivalence because if such a man existed we would crown him king. We’d love him. Americans would fucking love that. sometimes I get sad that this isn’t a real guy I can invite to a party.

“If this hurts my shows I’m gonna riot” “they better not cancel my favorite show” “this is so selfish I NEED this show” “what about my mental health now that they—“

So you agree. Show-writers are important to you and to the industry and should be compensated accordingly for their important work.
