I have a lot of fondness for clunky Hallmark Christmas romance movies with rock bottom production values, vaguely established and extremely contrived plots, dodgy dialgoue, often questionable line readings, and child actors playing a kid who seems either three years younger or older than themselves. Hallmark have not undermined themselves with glib, self aware irony or attempted to "elevate" the delightful low artform that they excel in. Refreshing, honestly.

Why, because I'm on the spectrum, am I the one who's always in the wrong when I feel insulted by the words of others? Why is it that I'm the one who is misunderstanding instead of the other person not expressing themselves well enough? Why does their lack of intent to hurt matter more than the fact that their words hurt me? I'm so sick of this twisted double standard being used against me.

As we are in Pride Month, I feel obligated to remind everyone that time cass (they/them) found out about "gender" (and also ADA. But that's for another thing.)
(In my fic)
“Old Lady say something Tan-Gen-De .” They carefully speaks it. “And Ey-Di-Ey.”
Timmy push up.
“Huh. That makes sense, actually.” His face do something weird.
“What's Eh-Di-Ey?” They want to know. They want to capture all the little words, like bags in a jar they can recognise for the next time.
“ADA is the Americans with Disabilities Act.”
They blink.
“It means they need to help people who need special help. Or they get in trouble with the law. So I told her that you needs help with reading and writing.”
Cass knows law. It's people with hammers and big white wigs. They think about Hammer-Man gives Old Lady a pencil and tell her to write for Cass.
It's a funny picture.
“What's tan-gen-de ?” They ask.
Timmy falls to the ground.
“Fuck.”
They look. He isn't injured. Just arm over his eyes.
“Okay, we need to call Steph. I'm NOT giving ‘Queer Theory 101’ without her.”
~
So.
Gender is like “boy” and “girl”, but not only. And when baby is born the doctor looks at private parts and decides.
“Girls” like pink and wear dresses and play dolls.
“Boys” like blue and wear pants and play cars.
But girls can also wear pants and like blue and play car, and boys can wear dresses and like pink and play with dolls and it's okay!
(Then why have this?.)
Sometimes baby grow up and tell parents doctors were wrong. That doctor said they are girl, but actually they are boy.
Or doctor said they are boy but they actually girl.
And that's “transgender”. Someone that doctors were wrong as a baby, and had to fix it.
(Or something like that.)
~
They still don't understand.
“But it wasn't a baby,” they say. “No boy no girl. Just Weapon. So why tan-gen-de?”
Purple and Timmy look sad hurt pain
But no injuries. They checked themselves, before. No blood or bruises or cracks in bones. Not even falling from the couch.

As usual, the opening scene

when you realise someone telling you to ‘do your best’ means trying as hard as your current capacity and environment will allow you to in that moment, and does not mean literally exhausting yourself mentally and/or physically to do the task to the best standard you can possibly make it no matter the cost to your time, health and well being …
oooooops

I frequently find myself in situations where I have to take what I consider an ordinary thing to say and translate it into phrasing that other people require me to use in order for them to cooperate with me.
I know I write things with harsh or dramatic phrasing on here but that's typically for entertainment value or because I'm venting in a personal space. In a work setting I put a lot of effort into being professional and yet huge extra steps are required on top of that to communicate with a lot of people.

what is your favorite genre?
To be fair I like most genres I’ve come across,
My favorites are most often
Fantasy
Sci-fi
Action/Adventure
Horror/Thriller
The only ones we don’t really watch are Romance, Sitcom, or historical stuff
On the topic of genres- does anyone else think it would be a genius idea to have a way to search by tropes?
Like it would make life so much easier to figure out what to watch- if I could just search up “enemies to lovers” or like opt out of any miscommunication tropes.
Like take the search function of fanfiction websites- and just apply it to movies/shows
