The First Platypus

That autistic / ADHD feel when you want to do… something.

then when that executive dysfunction comes into play and since you could do literally anything in the world, you end up trapped and unable to choose anything to do at all, and do nothing instead but live in that restlessness

One of the best additions to this post yet. This is one of those nuances of choice paralysis that people fail to understand - sometimes it is because we lack the executive function to choose, sometimes we want to do all the things and can’t choose.

And, if your depressive anhedonia kicks in, even if you DO decide on something, you quit 10 minutes later because the thing just isn’t doing it for you.

i need y'all to stop calling me out like this

Feels

Every time I see a gifset of ready player on I just get reminded about what an enormous piece of shit the book is

You guys are forgetting about the absolute wealth of writing talent that is the scene where an asian kid is explaining to the protagonist that his older brother had committed suicide and Ernest Cline had the balls to replace the word suicide with seppuku in a completely non-sword related death.

“if you’re not angry you’re not paying attention” used to be such a powerful phrase but now it’s more accurate to say “if you’re not angry you’re probably exhausted by 5+ years of Panic Outrage Mode and are nearing the limit of your emotional range for reacting to this shit”

we millennials gotta let gen z in on whether something is a joke or not they’re out there eating detergent pods bc they took “forbidden snack” too literally

it wasn’t a “tide pod challenge” it was “haha tide pod look like yummy fruit”

cant believe u just “kids these days"d gen z

me: hey New Generation don’t eat tide pods yall: wow you really hate gen z huh :/

i like the feeling where you used to know another trans woman’s deadname and then realise one day you’ve just completely forgotten it

Devilman Crybaby sounds like someone was doing the *reads hand* meme for Devil May Cry

dystopia au where we are all assigned one of two chosen genders at birth

Thanks to ultrasounds, the genders can be assigned before birth.  The people are so excited to conform they throw “Gender reveal parties” to make sure their offspring exist in a strict binary since before they can even form thoughts. 

Children are color-coded according to their binary assignment. 

One of the genders is seen as inherently inferior.

This all sounds really effing creepy when you put it that way

#BECAUSE IT IS

And if you deviate from the assigned gender you can be disowned by your family, fired from your job, and beaten by authorities.

Maybe if we made a popular YA fiction series phrasing it like this cis people might actually get it

Idk; I think they’d probably say it was too heavy-handed.

hate to put them on the same plate as terfs but honestly truscum / transmedicalists do the same shit imposing their psuedoscience that came abt in the last century on western & other cultures nonbinary / gender varient individuals that’ve existed for thousands of years

Many of us are guilty of prematurely giving soulmate credentials to people in order to speed up the relationship process. However, relationships require a stable foundation submerged in a vehicle of vulnerability and an abundance of mutual trust and respect. Rushing a situation can sometimes force you to maximize someone’s potential when they in fact are the complete opposite of the kind of partner you need. Embellishing the traits of your possible partner will eventually lead to disappointment once its clear that the version of them you contrived doesn’t actually exist.
