shhh

i don't think bodily autonomy for minors should be a luck of the draw type thing where you have to cross your fingers that your parents are chill about it.

This post was made with transness in mind, because I'm trans and was one of the lucky ones who was born to parents who were willing to listen to me. I know plenty of people who aren't so lucky. But it's also about school choice, and religion, and vaccines, and disability, and just how genuinely fucked it is that children are seen as property until they reach some magical age where they're suddenly people.

House is Cuddy’s pet freak and we need to remember that. She made a whole department for his enrichment, it’s glass so she can look into his enclosure like he’s a hamster. She scolds him like he’s a dog who chewed a newspaper and not actively committing crimes. Just a disappointed sigh before letting him loose again. When he comes back post gunshot she’s with Wilson picking a case for him like an enrichment toy.

I’m actually done skirting around the subject the fact that marvel ruined steve and bucky’s relationship was purposefully CRUEL. idgaf whether or not u liked the ship or not, but the mcu had established that steve rogers and bucky barnes loved each other to the point that only the grim reaper itself could separate them. their tagline was “til the end of the line” = til death do us part. they’d rather die (‘no not without you!’ and steve letting the winter beat him unconscious) than leave the other behind. they’d been frozen for the better part of a century — steve in the ice and bucky in cryo — and they still found their way back to each other. bucky broke thru 70 years of brainwashing torture and programming at the sight of his best friend. steve dropped the shield twice and finally found his way back to being steve rogers & not just captain america. they’d kicked screamed and crawled thru hell to each other and they deserved to be happy!!! it thematically made sense to let them be HAPPY! to go to baseball games and bitch about the dodgers moving to LA, to watch their favorite books as movies, to finally see the grand canyon. ending their relationship w steve leaving bucky alone in the future was a disservice to ten years of film precedent and DECADES of comics. steve rogers, no matter the circumstance, would not leave bucky. not til the day he died. & quite frankly I’m sick of the narrative that we were delusional shippers for being upset that their friendship was sent thru a wood chipper

Replacing "I dont want to live" with "i dont want to live like this" was v helpful for me because it helped me figure out what parts of my life i was trying to escape and reminded me there are absolutely versions of myself i want to work towards and ways of living i havent experienced yet that i want to see

you are short because you're evil
