#I can’t be an adult

[brooklyn-alley-ratcat]

My first day of kindergarten I stood proudly with my backpack on, hair not wild yet from the playground. My grandmother asked me if I wanted her to walk me inside and my bright little eyes looked at her in all sincerity.

“I was a caterpillar and now I’m a butterfly ready to fly!”

I should have been like the other kids asking their mom or dad to stay five more minutes but I didn’t. At five years old I was so certain I was ready to fly, to be independent. I wonder where that girl went now that I’m almost twenty one.

I should have been more reliant onmy parents before I couldn’t anymore.

Brush my hair and tie my shoes one more time, hold my hand in the grocery line, lovingly tell me to look both ways before crossing the street, make me chocolate chip pancakes in the shape of hearts, sing me to sleep as you turn on the night light, tell me you love me to the moon and back before closing my bedroom door. Please, I want you to be by my side with every step I take and hold my hand when I make mistakes until the end of time.

It’s late though and my laundry needs to be folded before I make dinner.

God, I wish kindergarten had lasted forever.

i need to go away. i need to be taken away. i can’t be normal. i can’t stop crying. i’m so overwhelmed. i feel like this one specific breakdown i had when i was 15, but just all the time for the past week. i’m so overwhelmed and it’s all just spinning around me and i don’t know how to stop me or the stuff happening and im losing touch with reality and im so scared

#i can’t be an adult #the older i get the more i realize #or am forced to see #that i am not as stable or capable as everyone else #and i push myself to the limit ALWAYS just to barely keep up with people #and i still fall short #it has spoken #AND THIS FUCKING HOUSE GIVES ME NO PRIVACY TO CRY #WHY WHY WHY

“I can’t believe Tom Cruise of all people would stand up for his agent, a Muslim Libyan-American woman, who was being publicly blacklisted for her support of Palestine and calling out the ongoing genocide, including making a rare in-person appearance to CAA headquarters in LA to express his support for her. What a strange person who can ever guess what opinions he will have.”

Look. I’ve studied Tom Cruise a lot. One could even call me a Cruisologist. (Not to be confused with. Well.) And, it’s actually really easy to predict Tom Cruise’s opinion on something. The tricky part is whether it will be made public in a timely manner or not and, if it’s made public at all, will it be a lede buried in favor of pushing a narrative sold on background by a studio exec he pissed off because he didn’t roll over and take their bullshit.

#can’t wait for someone to yell at me for this post so let’s get some things over with: #I know more than you. I don’t care. #but for the record: this post isn’t ‘tom cruise: perfect human who’s never done anything wrong’ #it’s ‘tom cruise: complicated person who has lived his entire adult life under an intense microscope and as a result is incredibly private #and tends to not share anything good or bad which has allowed tabloids to fill gaps as they please for clicks.’ #I wouldn’t say he’s a Good Person. I’m just saying he’s a Person.

Cozy Glow is such an interesting litmus test for die-hard bronies. I was checking r/mlp to prep a post and there’s a discussion post about how she deserved what she got and. How do I tell bronies that children should not be tried as adults. How do I tell bronies that psychopaths and sociopaths deserve human rights and treatment and support. How do I tell bronies that cruel and unusual punishments are bad. How do I tell bronies that the death penalty is wrong. How do I tell bronies that a ruling body should not have absolute say over putting someone to death, least of all a 6-year-old child.

These are all my recent google searches.

#delete later #personal #these are all arguments I saw of why cozy glow deserved it btw #“if she was human she’d be tried as an adult for her felonies idc if she’s a child’ ok but she shouldn’t #“clearly she’s a psychopath so it makes sense she’s evil’ do you even hear yourself #reminder that they redeemed the racist politician trying to keep schools racial segregated because he believed in pony superiority #and not the 6 year old child villain #I don’t even really care about cozy glow she’s not gonna be in the AU but people are so fucking weird about her #“some people are just born evil and can’t be changed’ < actual arguement in the thread. do you hear yourself

Prompt 211

The figure looked down at Billy. Billy looked up at the figure awkwardly from where he was digging through a trash can. 

“Um… I can explain!” 

Okay he honestly couldn’t, and instead threw a bag at them and booked it like his life depended on it. Which it might! Living in Fawcett meant that there were magical entities everywhere, even if they looked human, and he wasn’t going to get stolen by some fae! 

…

And they caught him. Great. He’s going to die now or get thrown back into foster care- huh? Food? They’re offering- no no, this is some fae bullshit, isn’t it! … But he’s also hungry, so maybe it’ll be worth it…

#DCxDP #DPxDC #Prompts #Dan whose on parole seeing gremlin child: Huh why does he smell like magic #Dan: I’m going to get the weird child food #Dan listening to Billy complain over a sandwich: Oh no I can’t get attached #Dan: So I’ve gotten attached like finding a feral cat #Dan finding out Billy is Marvel: Oh no this kid is like 9- I was at least a teen-adult when I started doing hero-villian things! #Dan: Kid I’m getting you back into school even if it’s homeschool #Billy who thinks he just got adopted by some sort of fae thing: Sure why not Mr Fae-Dude #Time travelling hero who sees World Ending Threat getting dragged around by Smol Child several weeks later:

((A.K.A Malenia as Miquella always sees her even after she grew up and became a fierce warrior))

#elden ring #sweet and shy Malenia transforming into a deadly warrior #something something metamorphosis reference #anyway I think that the irony is that Miquella is cursed with eternal youth but actually his big bro genes are so strong that he also #just permanently associates Malenia with her baby self #she’s a grown adult with 5 kids like ‘bye Miq I’m going to war’ and he’s like ‘huh!? what!? you can’t do that you’re twelve!’ #Malenia is the baby to him #he’s an old man

dp x dc prompt #36

i’ve seen a lot of prompts about de-aged danny running around gotham from the GIW, and one of the bats find him and practically adopt him on the spot.

what i want to see is a very self sufficient four year old danny that has already been successfully escaping for a while with just some minor help from gotham, and is only found because he’s doing something stupid while running away from someone.

i want danny getting chased by the GIW through the city, and the bats only notice when he tarzan swings by them with laxer fire chasing him.

Dc x dp idea 106

Danny up and left amity when he turned 18. he couldn’t handle the stress anymore. The long nights, barely passing.

It was only in his last few months that he and the ghost made an agreement. Most of them just wanted to spar. Ember was content with an online music a career. He got box ghost in a factory packing boxes.

They all knew to avoid and stay away from his parents at this point.

Still. Skulker and others were just to much. So he Left for college without telling anyone where he went. Ended up graduating early with a degree in engineering.

He gets hired to work in space!! In the watchtower.

Everything was fine and normal. No ghost, no issues, and best of all no mad scientist bent on genocide.

Now. He wasn’t expecting to get to work to witness nightwing chasing Youngblood around. How did that man even see him.

Nor did he expect Youngblood jumping on his back and screaming at him to protect him from the bully. And ignoring him wouldn’t even work as Youngblood to called him by name.

Then Youngblood to scream at him for leaving without so much as a goodbye. For leaving them with his parents still around.

Maybe nightwing won’t say anything? Yea right.

Not with his Fenton luck.

“Jason Todd is the violent robin” “Dick Grayson is the violent robin” discourse is insane. Every batkid is willingly out on the streets at 2am beating the shit out of people at age thirteen. They’re ALL the violent robin.

#Batman #batfam #I know it’s an important foundation of Batman stories but you can’t fuckin convince me there is one individual Robin Of Violence #they’re all ok with punching grown adults into the ground and kicking them while they’re down don’t sugarcoat it #they’re all a fun unhinged violent child and that’s ok!! that’s why we love them!!

Mum: what are you going to do at work if plans change last minute??? Are you not going to do the new plans?? Are you just going to sit and be upset like you are now

Me, having an autistic meltdown: y e s.

Mum: Well there are a million other FUNCTIONING people out there who can do your job. The real world doesn’t care about your autism

Me: *omg finally she understands that autism is a disability and it’s hard to function for me in this society that doesn’t accommoda-*

Mum: So you better GROW UP and LEARN and CHANGE into one of those FUNCTIONING members of society real quick

Me: *so close.*

#don’t you just love mommy issues #that is not how autism works #wouldn’t you believe it #I can’t magically change nt at her please #it’s almost like autism is a disability #haha #ha. #mommy issues #autism #actually autistic #autistic adult #disability

The fact that Leo can go literally anywhere on earth to be alone with his thoughts at a single moment’s notice is something that shakes around in my head all the time. Like, portals and teleportation are amazing and convenient abilities both in and out of battle, but they could also so easily be used to run away as well.

I don’t think Leo ever would, at least not most of the time. He loves his family too much, and is too dependent on their love and attention to cut himself off so suddenly like that, but it’s a very real possibility nonetheless.

It’s a good thing Leo’s overall temper is more on the mild side and he prefers going to his room or something to complete solitude, because it really is dangerous for a kid to have the ability to isolate themselves like that at their fingertips.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt leo #rottmnt headcanons #rise leo #and like #it doesn’t even have to be on purpose either #anything could happen where Leo goes out to travel real quick somewhere and suddenly he can’t get back #sure Donnie has the trackers but trackers only do so much when the one you’re tracking is across the globe #that one short of Leo ending up trapped hanging off the Eiffel Tower all alone when he’s still new to portaling #is actually a bit terrifying when viewed through a more serious adult lens #don’t mind me just doing what I like to do best aka think about Leo and his abilities #I’m still saying tho that his abilities make running away so easily #and he’s quite good at that #even if he’s physically there his MASK lets him run away from truly processing unwanted situations or conversations #imagine Draxum telling the boys about the other hidden cities and Leo takes it upon himself to go scout them out #and he does so going around and letting his bros know of the cities he finds here and there #only to end up in one that cuts off foreign mystic energy #like imagine being suddenly cut off and alone #this ability can be SO USEFUL up until it’s cut off midway and suddenly uh oh it’s horrifying

i cannot believe that there are people who still get upset about ship loyalty in 2024. i’m just putting my little guys into situations can you chill

#also like i’ve lowkey always thought it was insane to suggest you can’t love more than one person in your lifetime. #like someday you’re going to be an adult and you will have had multiple relationships. and you will have loved more than one person. #love isn’t like a multiple choice question with one right answer. i’ve loved multiple people and i will love more people in the future #and my past loves inform my life and how i will love in the future. it would be reductive of me to erase them or act like they don’t matter #anyway. all this to say that guy is INSANE lmfao #personal
