RIP Zia Mohyeddin (20.6.1931 - 13.2.2023)

"It would be foolish of me to say that my acting career began on the stage in a play, written by my father, at the age of 11. A lot of people who act as schoolboys become lawyers or accountants or insurance agents. But something happened to me during that first experience. I lost all sense of time and space. It was as though I had lost my sense of recognition. The people I had been rehearsing with were strangers whom I had never seen before. As for the actual setting, it appeared to be a space in another world, a dream. And although I spoke my lines, it was quite some time before I realized that it was I who was speaking."

Once upon a time, there was a little troll, in a little town, who lived under a little bridge in Alpena, Michigan. He had a good father, a human, a wise she-troll for his mother, and three wonderful little monsters for his little sisters.

While his mother had been born under that same bridge, and his mother’s mother, his great-grandparents had been from the old country.

They were both as troll-ish as a troll could be. And they were proud of it. After they left the old country, they moved to a little village full of other Trollish families, and they’re daughter’s first language was Trolluk. But they’re daughter grew tired of the old ways, and never taught her children about being a troll.This meant, after centuries of tradition, the little troll’s grandmother had ended it all, just like that. But his mother never minded, she didn’t think much about that.

So the little Troll never learned to speak Trolluk, never learned Trollish holidays, and never really learned about being a troll. He was never angry, or resentful. He just felt out of place. It didn’t help that his human father had never much cared for his family history.

One day, the little Troll stoop caring.But one day, the little Troll read a fairytale. An old one, one he had heard only when he was very, very, young. And it made him excited! The way the names of the people and places rolled off his tongue in a strange language, and the way they described the tall mountains, the mossy swamps, and dark forests!From then on, he immersed himself in his heritage, listened to Trollish songs, read stories and histories, began learning the traditions. Even set himself on learning Trolluk.And something amazing happened, I’m as he learned, his mother started wanting to learn with him, and one of his sisters too!

They began talking to the elder Trolls, started speaking to each other in the old tongue. It was amazing. And the little Troll set himself on learning everything he could.He didn’t know it all yet, but he had learned that he loved his family’s history, and found pride in carrying on their legacy. His legacy.

And even if he would have to relearn all the old ways, dig through manuscripts and journals, he would carry the legacy, with a toothy smile!

#aromantic #actually aromantic #aro #aro pride #love loses #good job everyone. im so proud of us <2 #edit (12/31): also pls do not quote 'not all loves are romantic/sexual' at me #1. aros have always been the first to dissect the definition of love. we are likely to know that before you. #2. are we gonna keep pretending that aros aint only an afterthought to the 'love wins' and 'love is love' crowds. #3. im loveless aro. i do not care for love whether its romantic platonic or familial etc etc. #one can do good w love. one can also do evil w love. love =/= morals. stop acting like it is.

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.

#hlep #original #mental health #my sympathies and empathies to anyone who has to rely on this kind of hlep to get what they need. #the people in my life who most need to see this post are my family but even if they did I sincerely doubt they would internalize it #i've tried to break thru to them so many times it makes my head hurt. so i am focusing on boundaries and on finding other forms of support #and this thing i learned today helps me validate those boundaries. the example with the milk was from my therapist. #the example with the towing company was a real thing that happened with my parents a few months ago while I was age 28. 28! #a full adult age! it is so infantilizing as a disabled adult to seek assistance and support from ableist parents. #they were real mad i was mad tho. and the spoons i spent trying to explain it were only the latest in a long line of #huge family-related spoon expenditures. distance and the ability to enforce boundaries helps. haven't talked to sisters for literally the #longest period of my whole life. people really believe that if they love you and try to help you they can do no wrong. #and those people are NOT great allies to the chronically sick folks in their lives. #you can adore someone and still fuck up and hurt them so bad. will your pride refuse to accept what you've done and lash out instead? #or will you have courage and be kind? will you learn and grow? all of us have prejudices and practices we are not yet aware of. #no one is pure. but will you be kind? will you be a good friend? will you grow? i hope i grow. i hope i always make the choice to grow. #i hope with every year i age i get better and better at making people feel the opposite of how my family's ableism has made me feel #i will see them seen and hear them heard and smile at their smiles. make them feel smart and held and strong. #just like i do now but even better! i am always learning better ways to be kind so i don't see why i would stop

A Legendary Sendoff for a Legend

All people walk through life making a ripple, one that perhaps seems bigger with hindsight, but there are some who create a wave all their own, visible from the very start which only gets taller and more powerful each day. Our Uncle Brian was that sort. I say our because he can be claimed by so very many. Large families are like that. But for those whose family extends far beyond bloodline, those…

saw this tweet n had to doodle it

also will n hannibal are goin out for a murder date :3

its worth noting that I, a gen z, had to learn several capital cursive letters (i know all the lowercase ones but cannot read cursive to save my life) for this.

Also! I added alt text for all of us who can't read cursive. and visually impaired people.

EDIT: y'all need to calm down about her age. i found this on Pinterest. its a screenshot of a tweet. i know abigail isnt a gen z. i did not make the original post. Also, no, some schools don't teach cursive anymore. Some do.

[Image description: An edited meme depicting a minimalist-style man and woman with their two children, holding hands and looking at a series of rainbow stripes. The man says, "I love attending Pride and seeing all the giant rainbow flags!" The woman replies, "It's so sexy of us to be bisexual!" Their children chorus, "Happy Pride, Mom and Dad!"]

Deadserious au due to summoning him, 15 yr old Danny meets up with Ra's and 8 yr old Damian. This displaces him in time though.

After showing off his immense power, Baby Damian immediately gets a fat crush on Danny, but when demanding professing his love Danny’s response is “until you grow taller then me brat”.

Danny afterwards leaves back to his time, immediately finding out that this change led to Danny being chased after by the Wayne’s youngest. And even worse the baby he met now towered over him despite still being older.

#danny phantom #dp x dc #batman #danny fenton #deadserious #dc x dp #dp prompt #dc x dp crossover #danny phantom x dc #dcxdp #dp x dc prompt #dc universe #bat family #he barely remembers Danny the ghost king but the countless records of him through time #of his great and power conquests are enough to keep Damian’s attention #he does however meet a Danny Fenton at a gala with a Vlad masters #leading Damian to his second crush ever that was completely hated by Damian #he says this while watching Danny trip over nothing and topple a table full of food over #he just lays there he’s not hurt or anything he just can’t get up because of his pride #eventually Danny gets summoned again and meets Damian again and maybe falls in love 🫶
