it’s important to remember that you can do whatever you want forever (cut out parts of your peel and stick wallpaper to decorate power outlets)

Contrast this with Hiccup from the books, who's never expressed interest in 'training' dragons and is primarily doing so due to the threat of banishment if he fails. He never fails dragon training because of any principle. He outright has not been given enough agency in his life for any of his actions to read as betrayal. For him, there is no intent. There is only failure to appease. Where Hiccup in the movies is a teenager trying to figure out what he wants from life. Hiccup from the books is a child trying to figure out what the adults want from him and how to give it to them. Hiccup, at least in the first book, never says that 'training' dragons through intimidation the way he's taught is wrong. He only says he doesn't have it in him.

I think about the brief time in which they enjoyed a more normal life in Ba Sing Se often.

Like. There is a significant gap between 'a lot of studies do not take into account variations caused by things like female hormone cycles, which can limit how generalisable they are' and 'medical science does not apply to women', and the latter just seems to create a situation rife for bad faith actors and snake oil salesmen to reassure you that actually, THEY have the answers, because THEY listen to women, and if you simply pay them for their online subscription service-

I don't say any of this to excuse it. I think everyone needs to be more aware of this because if you think abuse has to be intentional you will never realize you are capable of abusive behavior. You will never realize you are being shitty to the people you love, because YOU know what you mean, YOU know you don't mean any harm. But you're doing harm. You need to pay attention to the impact you have on other people, and you need to do it all the time, Especially when you feel least capable of doing so. Sorry! You live in a society. Get your head out of your ass.

Like damn man, I want that too. Unfortunately I live in reality though so we're stuck with the first thing.

Oh? It’s different if it’s me? Wow fuck you too

And yes, this includes having compassion for the bully in your head. Unfortunately that part is also you and deserves as much of your understanding as the rest of you.

This is the real reason why you need to be kind to the bully in your brain too, because that motherfucker is really good at doing a switcheroo when you're not paying attention.
