kids remind me, often, of the things i've taught myself out of.

i have a big dog. he looks like a deer. he is taller than most young children. while we were on a trail the other day, a boy coming our direction saw us and froze. he took a step back and said: "i'm feeling nervous. your - your dog is kind of big."

goblin and i both stopped walking immediately. "he is kind of a big dog," i admitted. "he's called a greyhound. they are gentle but they are pretty tall, which is kind of scary, you're right. their legs are so long because they are made for running fast. i am sorry we scared you. would you like us to stand still while you move past us, or would you feel more safe in your body if we move and you stay still?'

"oh. i didn't know that about - greyhounds. i think i ... i want to stay still," he said. at this point, his adult had caught up to us. "i'm nervous about the dog," he told her, "so i'm - i'm gonna stay still." she didn't argue. she didn't make fun of him. she just smiled at him and at me and held his hand while goblin and i, with as wide of a berth as we could make, crept our way through.

behind us, i heard him exhale a deep breath and kind of laugh - "he was really big, huh? she said it's because greyhounds have to go fast."

"he was big," she said. "i understand why that could have made you a little scared."

"yeah. next time i - next time do you think i could maybe ask to touch him? when - i mean, next time, maybe, if i'm not nervous."

later, going to a work event, in the big city, i stood outside, trembling. my social anxiety as a caught bird in my chest. i took a deep breath and turned to my coworker. she's not even really my friend yet. i told her: "i feel nervous about this. i am not used to meeting new people, ever since covid."

she laughed, but not in a mean way. she said she was nervous too. she reached her hand out and held mine, and we both took another deep breath and walked in like that, interlinked. a few people asked us - together? - and i told the truth: i feel nervous, and she's helping. over and over i watched people relax too, admitting i feel really kind of shy lately actually, thank you for saying that.

the next time i go to an event, and i feel a little scared, i ask right away: wanna hold hands? this feels a little dangerous. i hesitate less. i don't hide it as much. i watch for other people who are also nervous and say - it's kinda hard, huh?

i know, logically, i'm not good at asking for help. but i am also not good at noticing when i need help. i've trained myself out of asking completely, but i've also trained myself to never accept my own fears or excuses. i have trained myself to tamp down every anxiety and just-push-through. i don't know what i'm protecting myself from - just that i never think to admit it to anyone.

but every person on earth occasionally needs comfort. every person on earth occasionally needs connection. many of us were taught independence is the same thing as never needing anything.

each of us should have had an adult who heard - i feel nervous and held our hand and asked us how we could be helped to feel safe. no judgement, and no chiding. many of us did not. many of us were punished for the ways that we seemed "weak".

but here is something: i am an adult now. and i get nervous a lot, actually. and if you are an adult and you are feeling a little nervous - come talk to me. we can hold hands and figure out what will help us feel safe in our bodies. and maybe, next time, if we're brave, we can pet the dog that's passing.

#spilled ink #warm up #so i have worked in childcare as a teacher for like 15 years #hence the language behind ''what helps you be safe in your body?'' #like you can tell by what i say here i have EXPERIENCE with kids. #but tbh the REAL teacher moment is watching a 6/7 year old say #''this makes me nervous #can you please not come closer?'' #as a teacher i was IMMEDIATELY like ... ahh whomever is raising you is doing an EXCELLENT job holy shit #verbalizing your fears? trusting an adult to listen? #ability to recognize a way you might feel safer? #like .... this kid's caregivers.... that one moment... i was like .... who are u i wanna french kiss you big on the mouth

Just sitting here thinking about Leon’s physique in RE4R in comparison to all of his other eras. Like Capcom really sat down and was like, “we’re upgrading the twink into a MEGA beefy boy fighting bisexual demons” for the remake and decided to make him so thick and broad like hello!?

Meanwhile Leon’s never really been scrawny or lanky, he’s kinda slim-thick. Like he has muscles and probably has nice shoulders and thick thighs, but he’s not beefy in the sense of looking like a power lifter. They said fuck all that and just gave Leon huge pecs and biceps in RE4R and he’s thick as hell. Like don’t get me wrong, I love his build and honestly the fact that he doesn’t have the classic dorito build but his waist still tapers in a bit is so…MMMMM FAWK!

He’s so…whew…I keep thinking about it. I honest to god want to take a tape measure and just see the distance from shoulder to shoulder and across his chest. He looks like he’d give good hugs, just consumes you whole and his chest is so inviting and warm. I need him…BAD!

#ovaryacted thoughts #leon kennedy #leon s kennedy #leon scott kennedy #leon kennedy icons #resident evil #I don’t even like him super beefy #never liked big muscular guys #but holy moly I need him to put me in a chokehold BAD #real shit tho #give me the id/di body thank yew! #his chest and back are KILLING ME

The discourse thoroughly distracted me, but I also have to say: the fact that Marisha was able to improv that PVP scene and so consistently stick to Laudna's character in every decision was fucking incredible. Marisha is phenomenal at embodying people who are nothing like her. She did an amazing job in that scene from start to finish.

#critical role #critical role spoilers #c3e95 #marisha ray #laudna critical role #like holy shit her commitment to Laudna's evasiveness and manipulation is SO DIFFERENT from her previous characters #and it's lightning quick #wonderful acting #it is SO nerve wracking to be the asshole in a situation where everyone is against you even when it's not real #and she handled it like it was nothing #fucking incredible

um uh uh um. so. did anyone else used to follow Nate Stevenson's D&D campaign drawings back in the day or-

#fantasy high #fhjy #dimension 20 #nd stevenson #brennan lee mulligan #like. uh. god. #in november 2022 i went insane and watched a ton of avdenturing academy #and found out brennan used to play w molly ostertag (nd's wife) #and was like. wait a fucking minute. i was obsessed w jericho rose #so i refound that pic just to be like hmm i winder if any of these were brennan's characters that'd be crazy #and then further episodes in he mentioned playing a lawful good rogue and i was like HOLY SHIT #bc lets be real. kipperlilly copperkettle is SUCH a brennan name #but i thought my theory could only ever be that! right! my haha silly red string board in my friend's dms! #WRONG #IM SO FUCKING SMART #anyways. thank you for coming to my ted talk.

i know the whole "do you think jon ever used his powers to Know what his parents looked like" thing is far more devastating than this but what if he tried using his powers to remember original sasha? jon and sasha always seemed closer than the rest, he picked her (and tim) to work with him and tolerated a lot more nonsense from her than anyone else (using his password to access his computer [161], debating his pronunciation of calliope [25], etc)

and ofc jon and martin became significantly closer as the podcast went on, but in the beginning he was cruel to martin when he gave a statement but accepting of sasha? idk i think their friendship was a lot deeper than we realized (ESPECIALLY since his first murder in season 5 was because NotThem provoked him about sasha) and i think jon wouldve used his powers to Know the original sasha, not sure if it wouldve worked though

so so sorry to distract from the post but can yall read the tags for me because i suffered immensely for this post

#they make me ill #sasha was so cool i miss her every day #i think we need more sasha content #idk i wish we got more of them specifically #THIS POST. HAS CRASHED. 4.

It's always "omg this character is sooo autistic coded 🥰" Until that character has low empathy and/or sympathy, is considered "rude", doesn't understand social cues or vague boundaries, doesn't act stupid, helpless, or weak, or has higher OR lower sensory needs, then suddenly it's a Problem and they Aren't "sooo" autistic coded anymore.

Really goes to show how many people just see autism as this cute quirky trait instead of an actual disability that. yknow. Disables the person who has it.

#-sincerely an autistic person with low empathy/sympathy #like holy shit dude #the amount of ppl who genuinely see autistics as incompetent babies is infuriating. #this is a huge issue in fandoms And real life btw #I've experienced both first hand #the hollow #the hollow netflix #tdp #the dragon prince #tlkoe #the last kids on earth #toh #the owl house #amphibia

do you ever just think about the fact that Ed and Stede's romance was deliberate? like the creators intended on them being together from the beginning, and they didn't tack it on as a last minute decision to get better ratings? do you ever think about the fact that they're in love and it's on purpose? cause i sure as fuck do

#thinkin about it rn and having a mild breakdown #it's on purpose!!!!!!!!!!!!!! holy shit!!!!!!!!!! #that montage when mary is telling stede what love is supposed to feel like???????? #that's REAL #it's not a fan edit. it's in the show #and it's going to continue to be on purpose in season 2 #isn't that just fucking incredible #turning myself into mulch #ofmd #our flag means death #gentlebeard #blackbonnet #oh we thinkin?

[rexxdjarin]

let’s be real here …..the reason so many people irrationally dislike phee and tech is because of internalized racism or just like …plain old loud and proud racism.

if you’re that unable to accept a romance with your fave character because the character doesn’t look anything like you, you have a serious lack of empathy and need to take a hard look in a mirror.

also like lol welcome to the experience of every non-white person who has ever lived. they’ve had to identify with characters who don’t look anything like them for centuries.

God forbid non-white fans have ONE (1) character in this universe who somewhat reflects an experience they know.

My god some of you can really be insufferable. Just say you’re mad he had/has? a love interest that isn’t the one you’ve concocted in your head and go.

#this is mostly about how unhinged people are on SW twitter #like seriously holy shit you guys need to take a fucking walk in the real world for 5 seconds #also like ????? you’re not gonna be happy that one of our boys canonically may have actually gotten his dick wet??!!! girl bye #tbb tech #tbb phee #phee genoa #anyways
