hey fall is coming around and that post “intrusive thought: eat a leaf” or whatever is probably gonna be floating around again so here’s a reminder that that post is not describing intrusive thoughts, but rather an impulse. intrusive thoughts are serious and can cause significant distress and should not be treated lightly. all those uwu relatable intrusive thoughts uwu posts are made by people who have a crucial misunderstanding of what intrusive thoughts are and likely don’t actually experience them, so keep that in mind before you start reblogging them uncritically. keep your mutuals with actual intrusive thoughts in mind and don’t reblog posts mocking and downplaying their experiences

being nonbinary and a fan of non-human creatures isn’t easy. like i’m constantly struggling with the fact that i’m both like “i wish there was more enby representation in humans” and “i’m the same gender as mewtwo and that fucking rips”

the tension between “representing NBs only as nonhuman characters is dehumanizing and othering” and “but monsters, aliens, and robots are so much cooler than humans”
