#these are exhausting imo

[my-autism-adhd-blog]

Showing is really exhausting now. And it only lasts 15–20 minutes. I guess I’m getting old…

Anyone else find showers/baths tiring?

I need everybody to love their smiles. To the people with crooked smiles, with yellow or missing teeth (hell, even no teeth!), to the people whose smiles are huge, to the people who have half-smiles/awkward/crooked smiles because of face paralysis, to people with smiles that make their eyes crinkle or disappear: your smile is so amazing. You are wearing your happiness on your face, and that is so raw, so radiant, and so intrinsically human that there is nothing to hate about it.

There is nothing wrong with your smile or your happiness. I hope you can give your genuine smile with no fear. You deserve that

#positivity #ily smiles <3 #so so angry that so many people have been taught to be ASHAMED of their smile #that's so so so so so so SO fucked up. it's honestly evil imo #i'm not even being sarcastic when i say that i think it can be genuinely evil to shame and humiliate people for their natural smile #this is a non-exhaustive list btw. these are just some of the reasons i remember hearing of traits people were ashamed of in their smile

baldur’s gate 3 really is the game of all time for the gays who want to celebrate both sad pathetic wet men AND women’s wrongs

#baldur’s gate 3 #bg3 #astarion #minthara #minthara baenre #i am still thinking about that post i saw a couple of days ago #where OP was mad about men being categorized as babygirls and women as the only braincell havers #and OP was right that the latter girlboss-ification of women while subsequently never letting the narrative focus on them #(or having fandoms actually focus on them) #is depressing and exhausting #but that’s why!!! bg3 is so great imo!!! #the women characters in bg3 are absolutely the main appeal of this game!! #like yes astarion is extremely popular and with good reason #but he is not the only character with a delightfully feral and dedicated fan base happy to excuse all his wrongs because of his big sad eyes #/flourishes both hands @ minthara baenre will smith style #look at this sad war criminal and her big sad eyes and her arrogance and her insecurity #and her devastating sense of humour #she is hyperfixation material

okay no see the thing that made me really, really sad about hinata and the thing that made me really, really root for him and love him and want to see him win it all was how, like, people kept DENYING him. and i'm not talking about spectators in the stands going "omg he's so short haha, can he really do anything?" i'm talking about how his own team and how everyone who knew them in some way - as much as i love them - could never really separate him from kageyama. they were the freak quick duo, karasuno's number nine and number ten. they were amazing! so brilliant, the two of them. and hinata thought it was a way out, at first. he thought it was a way over the summit. he thought it was the key to being someone better.

but a key goes both ways, you know. it can lock you up just as much as it can set you free.

and hinata had to be so, so frustrated. everyone was finding ways to move forward except him. everyone expected him to stay stuck. and you could argue that that's not entirely true, sure, that he was always training, always trying to catch up, and they encouraged that. but nobody ever expected him to be more. nobody ever expected him to go beyond what he had with kageyama - they all thought that was enough for hinata. they thought he was fine like that because it worked for the rest of them. they underestimated how much he wanted to be capable. they didn't get how much he wanted to stand on his own two feet.

and that wasn't fair to hinata! it wasn't fair that hinata, who loved to play and loved the game and loved volleyball so so much, was the only one being left behind! he wanted to change that but nobody was trying with him!!! so of course he got impatient!! of course he was reckless!!! of course he was carving his own opportunities!!! there was no way forward otherwise!!! because if we take a minute to think about how training would have gone while kageyama was at tokyo, let's be honest — it probably wouldn't have gone well. nobody else can do with hinata what kageyama could do with him. hinata would have been held back. he would have felt useless. practicing serves and receives was stuff he was already doing constantly before that, and it wasn't teaching him anything. yeah hinata was a little bit selfish and a little bit shameless but being so finally got him somewhere!!

all hinata ever wanted to do was fly, even if it meant straying from the flock to do so

#anyways lesson learned: when you've exhausted all other options then just fucking go for it #what's the worst that could happen #you either get shit done or you don't #ball boy arc is sooooo important and i hate when ppl treat it like hinata was just being stupid #he was FED UP!!! #washijo sure as hell wasn't going to let him prove anything so he had to do it himself #and hinata actually showed a LOT of restraint for how he actually is imo #he accepted washijo's decision so easily. i think he knew in a way. that he wouldn't have been accepted #but he had to try SOMETHING bc he wasn't getting anywhere with everyone else!!!! #and my heart breaks whenever i think about taking suga taking kageyama's part in the early part of the story #about them not needing to try anything new or do anything risky so close to the tournament #hinata was so fucking shackled and that's why brazil was so good for him #it gave him a chance to grow into himself #ALSO EVERYONE KEEPS ACTING SURPRISED WHEN HE GETS BETTER AND BETTER WHEN THAT'S ALL HE EVER WANTED HELLO #hinata shouyou #haikyuu #haikyuu!! #haikyuu meta #sou says stuff

animal shelter owner!ronan comes to work one day and volunteer coordinator!blue introduces him to new volunteer, adam parrish. adam spends his time at the shelter because he is so stressed out at (insert law/med/politics job here) and he needs some animal therapy. and also he just likes hanging out in the cat room.

#ronan lynch #adam parrish #pynch #pynch fic idea #blue sargent #also def needs to be a bronan fic imo #like blue immediately clocks these two dumbies and is on ronan’s ass about asking adam out but ronan is too ronan #and blue is too exhausted of these dumb boys

The mood of the day is "My battery is low, its getting dark"

#my stuff #had my suspicions confirmed that my friendship with my ex is basically never gonna be anything like what i thought and needed #its really fucking frustrating and it means that all of the warmth and attention they showed me before we were dating was- #due to their romantic interest in me rather than our connection as friends #and on top of that they're stressed out and depressed and have said they basically only trust ppl they're dating (fucked up imo) #so I'm never going to get the kind of connection i was looking for. If i wasn't waiting on something from them I would just give up on this #i'm not getting what i need. I'm barely getting anything at all. what a fucking waste of human connection #I'm exhausted emotionally and mentally and already under colossal stress with my phd and classes #i'm not gonna talk to em again until they reach out first i'm sick of fucking necromancing this and making 90% of the effort

you can't just listen to Huhhahhei once and then move onto the next song in your playlist.

#käärijä #it's addicting #a part of me wants to say the song is too short but tbh it's the perfect length imo #any longer and it would feel exhausting #huhhahhei

Look, Noah is a cast member of the show. He's going to talk about the show/his character. Sharing little clips taken from insta that are specifically about byler and shared in the byler tag after we all know about the situation is not giving him more platform than he already has. If you don't like seeing his name, block it or ignore the post.

#if you want to be weird about this im just blocking #im done #I get you guys are trying to remind ppl but does it not get exhausting #a lot of us are just treating him as a cast member giving us crumbs/info bc he is #not forgeting what he did #the ppl talking about the lives aren't doing anything wrong imo for the reasons i listed above #ive said it before but ill say it again #the unfortunate reality is that there are crappy ppl in hollywood #there are crappy ppl that run the government #there are crappy ppl that run cooperations... #its a thing and they are everywhere #at this rate we sould not be allowed to enjoy ANYTHING #if you dont want to enjoy it for your own personal reasons that's fine #but don't get mad at other for doing so #noah schnapp #st5 #byler

I am growing increasingly frustrated with liking Daenerys = Nazi discourse, I am sick of it, it annoys me so much. It is one thing to dislike Daenerys, and another to call everyone who does a Nazi. It's annoying to hear how I'm a Nazi for seeing myself in a woman who was sold into bridal slavery, raped and abused, survived and is currently fighting to end slavery on a continent that has been slaving since before the Valyrian conquest of Old Ghis. 

Daenerys experiences reflect the experiences of many women of colour, especially female immigrants of colour. Daenerys reminds me of myself, of my cousins, of my sisters, fighting to survive the abuse our patriarchal family members put us through. She's exiled from her home through no fault of her own. She's trying to find a home and in the meantime, she's building bonds of love with her people. Daenerys is many things, but a Nazi isn't one of them. When she rains fire and blood on the slavers, I'll be right there cheering her on. 

#daenerys targaryen #game of thrones #asioaf #the discourse around this topic is horrendous and exhausting #she hasn't killed enough slavers imo #she should kill more #true change cannot come about by negotiation #some people are going to have to pass on #and that's okay #slavers do not see the people they've enslaved as people #they're merchandise #No amount of smooth talk or politics will convince them that the enslaved are people. #how do you politic your way out of a force killing freedmen in the shadows? #how do you end an inhumane practise without fire and blood? #sometimes murder is the answer and that is okay #fuck d&d btw

can i read any of your toh fics without having watched toh because they sound really good but i don’t want to watch a bunch of tv first i don’t have the timeee (ugh college)

i've actually had more than one person read my fics without having watched toh & i'm told they're more-or-less coherent!

i have a couple oneshots that are just about hunter getting hugs or being sick with fantasy illnesses or processing grief. my longfic "what we are is the sum of a thousand lies" is an episode-specific canon divergence, so that one may be hard to jump into without having watched the show...

BUT the princess luz AU plays with the show worldbuilding in a parallel timeline. characters, relationships, and canon events are all very different, so there's a good amount of exposition within the fics themselves. what i've learned from people's liveblogs is that if you've watched the show, there's a lot of horror in little details that call back to the canon..... but if you Haven't watched the show, then there's a lot of horror in simply "OH GOD. WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS. WHAT THE FUCK??"

basically all you need to know going in is that the emperor of this fantasy realm is a secret human, he's a colonizing piece of shit, he has a peculiar fascination with the human protagonist of the show (who, in the AU, is raised as his daughter), and he's been creating necromantic corpse copies of his brother n then murdering them for 400 straight years. Yikes.

#replies #toh #my writing #i apparently have 16 toh fics now so this isnt an exhaustive list. these r just the ones easiest to jump into imo

Something More

YA contemporary about a Palestinian-Canadian girl starting high school, navigating new crushes and accepting her recent autism diagnosis

#something more #jackie kalilieh #aroaessidhe 2023 reads #this is pretty good! #obv it’s not my kind of book but having an autistic MC made it a lot less frustrating than a similar book with an allistic MC would be imo #I thought it was a great representation of a low support needs autistic teen girl #and like. embracing her autism but also it's not the only thing the book is about #Was a bit exhausting the way she keeps going back to this guy even though he’s kinda shitty #though I guess it felt quite transparent that the narrative is partly about recognising unhealthy relationships & what mistakes you should #forgive and what are ongoing patterns. and most of the relationships are like different examples of that #so like that gave me a bit of a step back from all the drama and stuff that would have otherwise annoyed me too much #because it was obvious that that was the point of all that #I think it would have been good to have developed her relationship with her grandmother - 3/4 through something happens #and it has pretty much no emotional punch because I was like wait. she has a grandmother? #Maybe that would have made it too sad when it’s mostly a lighthearted romance but like. you could have made the thing more of just a scare

this isn't a Callout or anything and I don't think laughing at posts like this is evil but I'm willing to bet one or more of these pictures are brazilian not just because I recognize the sticker on the stove but because I spent the past year traveling all over the place while working for the census, and sat to talk with people who lived like this many times. overwhelmingly disabled elderly black people who lived alone, had no income, no support whatsoever, couldn't read, not even remember the year they were born. they were always elated to have visitors, though, profusely apologizing for the state of their houses, but in these situations I'd always linger beyond the 5-minute interview, make conversation in hopes they'd be a little less lonely. to be fair, I don't think it's even necessary to reason why someone would end up living like this. it's not to say hygiene concerns are problematiqué, that's not my point here; while you can argue that poverty doesn't equal filth/this isn't exclusive to poor people, we could stand to investigate why we even feel the need to reassure that our poverty is of the acceptable kind, rather than reaffirm that yes even That Yucky Gross poor person deserves support from and interaction with their community without having to make themselves presentable first

#nar.txt #the past year was utterly exhausting but I don't regret any of it. witnessed a lot that cemented my world view #for better or worse #imo you can both find this funny and hold this view but I don't have a lot of faith on people online to say the least
