i wonder how long harrow screamed. i wonder how long it took for her to process what had happened—for her brain to catch up to her eyes, to register what gideon did. “you can stop screaming any minute now, just an fyi.” she was screaming as she got up. did she scream while she ate her and rebuilt her? how many times do you think harrow screamed her name? how much do you think was wordless agony? do you think her mouth got used to screaming her name? used to it enough that that was the last thing she said? do you think this was the practice?
Being fat is sexy, actually. And this includes people with body types that don't fit societal beauty standards (i.e., big bellies, double chins, fat arms)
Fat people are hot and we need to stop pretending they aren't xo
My neighbors think I'm crazy
But they don't understand...
You're all I had...
You're all I had.
At night, when the stars light up my room...
I sit by myself...
Talking to the moon...
Trying to get to you...
In hopes you're on the other side
talking to me too...
Or am I a fool...
who sits alone...
Talking to the moon?
Talking to the Moon--Bruno Mars
One day I had this idea smack me upside the head, and it wouldn't leave me alone. To me, as an outsider looking in, this feels like a very well fitting song for Zeus in their current situation...
This month has been the most stressful month eveeer. I’ve been organizing a toy drive for 1,360 kids in 8 different shelters across nyc 😅 while raising the money for it in a month (we’ve raised $13,470 and the goal is 15,000 (yes send money)). So I was fighting against time while learning how to do something for the first time. While learning all about the organization and the staff because I’m new. And while going to government Christmas parties to promote it. Plus, this week we actually held the events so I’ve been going to all of them. Yesterday I got home at like 8:30pm and it’s high energy events too cus it’s for kids 😩😭😅
I’ve died 100 times
But the looks on their faces 🥹 specially when they see Santa. I’d do it all over again.
My fellow dyslexics: I've created a dyslexia symptom survey.
The survey can be found: HERE
Why have I done this? Becuase dyslexia is a spectrum disorder and different people have different symptoms. And I find it really interesting. And I like working with data.
People without reading issues are also welcome to participate!
I will look at the results after a month (march 5th, 2023) and make a judgment on if I have a big enough dataset to work with. If I get enough feedback, I will do a comprehensive report (maybe record a video walk through of the results).
Please share so that I can work with a large dataset :-]
At least for the aspec part of the leverage fandom, I’m guessing it’s the heavy themes of found family between the entire crew and the queer platonic vibes of the OT3
yeah. yeah. oh man. like we have a story that prioritises relationships that aren't shown to us as romantic just as highly as the relationships that are, and we have parker who regardless of how you interpret her can be read as a-spec and loved and supported by the people around her and that's great, and we have a happy ending that says "actually, our tough guy (who doesn't seem to settle down with anyone romantically, though we see him date) would be most fulfilled with hardison and with parker, with no explicit romance, but with a lifelong promise of mutual devotion."
(it's a very important thing to me that the story works like that, with parker+eliot+hardison being totally platonic. I love other readings. I do. but what we were given, viewed through the least shippy goggles available, works. and it packs a hell of a punch.)
and listen, I've said it before but "my nana used to say that what's normal is whatever works for you" is such a beautiful sentiment to be applied to SO many things (gender, neurodiversity, queerness, polyamory, queerplatonic relationships, choosing a life of crime instead of a 'proper' career, etc), and it is lovely.
which is to say… yeah. agreed. it's great. and it does make sense. :D
