my thing with normals epilogue is that I think it comes from normal and sparrows like fundamental misunderstanding of each other. Like I think normal is unable to see sparrow as a full person past his parenting decisions, but I also think that sparrow doesn’t really understand the full extent of the effect his words had on normal and what it would’ve taken to rectify that. Like they’re both so caught up within themselves to fully understand the other and that’s so real and true to me.

Please please please think of trans people of color when you’re going to make a generalized statement. When you’re making posts about passing tips, medical treatments for transitioning, even light hearted stereotypes include people of color in your sentiments.
As a black trans person it is so fucking isolating to see stuff I’m supposed to relate to only to find that they weren’t talking about me or people like me.

every single day i think about the influence touya would have had on shouto as an older brother.
he has to take him everywhere he goes, so they're always jamming to the same hardcore music in touya's shitty car. shouto, obviously, develops a taste for the same bands, same songs. shouto is also in the ride-along to buy cigarettes and beer at midnight, and touya threatens his whole entire life if he tells rei, but shouto would never because he likes going too much.
shouto 100% would attempt to kick the ass of anyone that talked shit to his brother. little string bean, doesn't matter, this little boy is throwing HANDS for touya, and touya very much has the attitude of "no one can fuck with my little brother but me". whenever shouto gets in trouble for doing something he shouldn't be doing, touya is always taking the fall for him, no questions asked. shouto lies for touya like it's second nature.
shouto wants an earring because of touya, and touya probably GIVES the piercing to him, which makes enji blow a gasket. touya learns to play the drums and then shouto wants to, too — though he ends up being better than touya and touya promptly quits after that. touya teaches him to drive. shouto gets drunk for the first time with touya BECAUSE touya wants to be there to take care of him. they hate each other, they get into fist fights all the time, rolling around the house as fuyumi screams at both of them. they're best friends. they understand each other more than anyone else ever could.

don’t mind me I’m just busy having Feelings over the scene in the Moon Knight tv series where Marc meets the avatars/gods for the first time.
words can’t describe how distressed I got when Harrow showed up and started speaking, dripping poison into the words “he is unwell” with a tint of false concern, just the right amount condescension, and a spoonful of pity
thinking about how from that moment Marc (and the whole system) was disregarded as unreliable despite the fact that the situation had nothing to do with their DID. thinking about how the avatars and their gods stopped listening to him.
thinking about how the moment someone is neurodivergent, or disabled, or different in any way that isn’t palatable, that’s “scary”, they stop being worth listening to
not a person, just something to disregard, lock away, or pity.
And how Harrow got away with it, how he was able to frame himself as the caring “good guy” for revealing this incredibly personal piece of information to a group of people who had no business knowing it, effectively silencing someone who desperately needed to speak. For his own gain.

I always see things like "neurodivergent people are so infantilized" and like. it's not technically wrong because a lot of neurodivergent people get infantilized, and I absolutely think we should talk about infantilization. But also...
"Neurodivergent" is not just a select group of autistic, adhd, and anxious people. "Neurodivergent" as a word includes literally anyone who is mentally ill, mentally/neurologically disordered, or mentally/neurologically/intellectually disabled.
Do u think people with ASPD, NPD, psychosis, DID and/or OSDD are more commonly infantilized or demonized? Or even, like,,, do u think ND POC are more commonly infantilized or demonized?
Even I, a white AFAB autistic teen, am still demonized far more than I am ever infantilized. I have low empathy, high alexithymia, difficulty with emotions, and little to no interest in making friends or socializing on most days. How I tend to be treated can be summed up by the time my mom genuinely sat me down and said "I'm so glad I saw that, I'd been worrying you were heartless" after I comforted a friend who'd been crying.
I was 12.
I'm always assumed to want to argue or be rude, I'm seen as a person who won't give a shit if you're sad, I'm painted as being contrary on purpose just to make your life worse, I've been called a future murderer/serial killer/criminal more times than I can count. For fuck's sake, none of that is true. It's just what people assume, because I am autistic, and not in a way you can infantilize. You can't easily infantilize someone you see as a heartless robot.
Infantilization is a thing faced by neurodivergent people. Of course it is. But to be honest, I'm kind of tired of people acting like demonization never happens.

I just talked to my friends about this but I feel like Felix is a little too well liked in this fandom. Like yeah he’s realistic, he’s a coward, he’s selfish, and he’ll do anything to help himself
And there are millions if not billions of people out there who are exactly like him
It’s not a bad thing if you like Felix but I feel like it’s really not that well understood just how actually dangerous he is. There are people who will hurt you either intentionally or by accident and what is often the first thing you hear them say?
“Don’t tell anyone.”
If Edd and Molly had lived, I have no doubt in my mind that is exactly what he would have said to them

I know this is gonna be a post into the void, but I want people to know that there are some on the autism spectrum that the hug during the panic attack would work for. Not everybody though and definitely the hug would have to be someone trusted and like personally for me that I’m comfortable with, but I just want to clarify the generalization the show might have made. Not all autistic people like that physical pressure. But I do think it works for Young Woo.

You know what I will hate?
If someone else has to point out how Buck or Eddie feels. I know that’s a popular trope, but honestly? Fuck that.
Fuck having to tell a queer person who they’re supposed to be with, how they’re supposed to feel. I actually hate that so much. Because why, why is it that after being told we’re supposed to love certain people, and we realize we don’t, we’re told from ALL SIDES who we are supposed to love after we come out. From the people who don’t accept us to the people that do.
I don’t want Tommy telling Buck that hey man you’re in love with Eddie
I want Buck to realize and accept this on his own, it’s HIS choice it’s HIS life he’s finally free so Let Him Have The Control
I don’t want Marisol to tell Eddie he’s not in love with her, he’s in love with Buck. I actually HATE when fans decide the girlfriend has to take upon that role.
I want Eddie to have his own oh moment. I want Eddie to have this soft, happy, light feeling of being free.
I don’t want Christopher a literal chick to tell Buck and Eddie they’re in love.
I want them to discover it together on their own. I want them to talk to Christopher separately and together about it. Don’t involve a child in the love lives of adults.
I do not fucking want Hen (or Karen and Josh) to look at these two and say I called it.
THEY ARE ALSO QUEER!! They KNOW what it’s like to feel the need to keep this part of yourself a secret, to be scared, to be overwhelmed with emotions, to finally feel free.
I want them to be so so unbelievably happy and proud of Buck and Eddie and to not take away from their discovery of themselves. 
I don’t want past girlfriends showing up and saying they knew something was off.
Because you know what? Let’s not make queer characters uncomfortable and guilty for something that wasn’t their fault, something they weren’t even AWARE of, or to feel any pain for a relationship that is very much over.
I don’t think you guys understand how much you seem to demand for us to get buddie as queer, to have Eddie and Buck as queer, and in the same breath want to take what that means away from them
Them realizing they are queer is not something that other characters should have a huge opinion or input on. It should be THEM worried about what others will say and think only to find out they are so loved by those who truly matter.
Coming out as queer is HUGE. It’s not easy, it can be confusing and it’s overwhelming. Let Buck, and if it happens then Eddie as well, go about their own journey their way. Stop forcing other characters, straight or queer, to be in it. It’s not about anyone else but them. It’s not a simple love story of two men that are already out. It’s about realizing hey, this thing I thought I was my entire life? It’s not true.
Let them process that and take it in and explorer what is a completely newworld.

for those of you that liked to see the q!bbh and q!cellbit dynamic as father/son and are disappointed that bad himself doesn’t see it that way, i promise you that changes nothing 🫶 whether it’s as mentor/mentee or something more or something less, their past and relationship doesn’t change. a familial bond can be more than parent/child or siblings. q!bad still watched over him and grew fond of q!cell as he taught him how to do things. the level of admiration and respect is still there. q!cell can still look to him like a guiding figure in his life growing up since he had no real parents to remember. just because bad doesn’t view him as a son doesn’t mean he cares any less 🫶
