fandoms and rants

Think about what it was like ten years ago. Think about what it was like, even just a couple of years ago, and marvel at where we are.

i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience

Macau: Did you ask Vegas?

Venice: He said no

Macau: Then why did you ask me?

Venice: He’s not the boss of you

I had a vague memory of Katniss waking up after being sedated and asking where Finnick was only for Haymitch to respond "oh, he had a breakdown after you passed out so he decided to join you instead." Hilarious I tell you (if you don't laugh you'll cry I guess)

Love it, they're so mentally ill.

Man, how did Gale think they were romantically involved. Like no, that's just her mentally ill breakdown buddy.
