Welcome

And obvioulsy my first thought was It's Rocky and Adrian!

So I got to work. First I made a Rocky charm for the big project I was cooking up:

(It is an interpretation, okay? I know you have to be very imaginative to get it. I wanted to mix both the book and the movie designs into one but I had the resources I had and this is what came out, but I love him anyway)

But then I indulged myself and made tiny rocky and tiny adrian to put on my shelf and guys... They are just so freaking cute!

Also! Stress tolerance is such an important skill that having a learning disability in that area is a major symptom of a whole lot of other disabilities/mental illnesses! Struggling with it is a huge part of life! It sucks!

Am I saying everyone with misophonia needs to listen to chewing noises all day? No. But you need to find ways to tolerate it enough that you don't treat others like shit if they make a mouth noise near you.

No, you don't have to read the fic with your trigger tags. But you do need to be able to handle scrolling past the tags without being upset.

It is hard! But not having it also makes you so so so easy to manipulate. That grandma is racist AF because her mom raised her to be uncomfortable around black people and she never fought that discomfort. Trans people make so many cis people uncomfortable and that discomfort turns into bigotry real fast.

And while it’s true that sometimes the two words are used interchangeably, I think it would be even more interesting if their understanding of each other’s languages eventually improved to the point where the subtle differences in the connotations of “grace” and “mercy” could actually be appreciated.

“Mercy” is most often is used when someone deserves a punishment or other consequence, but they are spared by someone in a position of power, who chooses to withhold the punishment that would otherwise be just.

“Grace” usually refers to when an undeserving person receives something good (a gift or help or kindness) that is bestowed upon them by some other benevolent person or force.
