i'm a haunted house

as per my last straw,

*making two dolls kiss and dropping them both out nowhere, all the emotion and life leaving my face* right. enough of that.

Im glad they made up romance for stories and music but can you imagine how scary it would be to deal with all that for real

… I am unironically here for this

this is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life

i love the idea of this version of akasha thinking of lestat as like. her purse dog. he’s her chihuahua with gucci shades. he runs around outside and brings her little treasures. he does tricks for her. he gives her cuteness aggression. she owns him.

as someone who studies this: statistically speaking, child abuse (including “spanking”, because all forms of hitting children are abusive) is pretty much equally prevalent in households of all racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. so yeah, don’t let people use the “culture” excuse on you, but also, don’t believe others are experiencing it less just because it’s less normalized in their culture to talk about it. we all gotta work together to fix this shit.

I've seen some posts trying to make fun of former gifted kids by comparing them to former student athletes who insist that they could have gone pro if not for a specific injury, and those posts always backfire, because my reaction to them is "You're right, we should treat former student athletes with more compassion than we currently do"

I went from being very physically active to getting the "your body doesn't make energy properly anymore" disability so I can completely understand the grief that comes with circumstances outside your control destroying parts of you you were once proud of and locking you out of the life you could have had. It's not a good feeling.

... was that not the whole point of that comparison? Are we supposed to dislike the kids who were pushed into overworking and permanently damaging their bodies at a young age by people who should know better but value second hand glory over the health of kids?

I really wonder what the demographic outcome would be of trans people involuntarily getting "the body you'd have if practicality wasn't a concern" like what percentage of the resulting bodies would be obviously nonhuman?
