Special interests:

I usually have two kinds of special interests; One constant interest that I’ve had since childhood, and one hyper fixation that lasts for 5-10 years before fading. My hyper fixations are always pieces of media.

Long-term special interest: History, religion, and mythology

Current hyper fixation: Chinese Danmei, especially Wuxia and Xianxia genres.

Past hyper fixations: Xena Warrior Princess, Star Trek, Batman, Inuyasha, Hannibal, and *cough* Supernatural *cough*

then i made the mistake of looking at the comments. reader, it was brutal. all the horrid things that my brain whispers to me, people were saying about this poor woman who just wanted to be normal but couldn’t. they said she didn’t deserve a family, that her husband should leave her, that she was just lazy and wanted to mooch off the government. that she could fix herself if she really wanted to. that people like her, like us, were burdens on society. it made me so angry and sick.

i admit i’m a petty person. i do wish bad things on my worst enemies. I wish everyone in that comment section an invisible disability and a broken brain. i want them to struggle and suffer and realize what fucking idiots they are. but they won’t. every marginalized group knows what it’s like to be ignored and talked over by people outside the group who think they understand our lives and experiences better than us.
