Whery

good kid-centric horror is so hard for me to watch. like. you’re a kid and you’re in danger. adults can protect themselves but kids aren’t allowed to. so you can make yourself as likable and believable as possible and hope an adult likes and believes you enough to protect you (but trauma makes you nasty) (so the longer you try the worse your chances are) (and there’s no guarantee anyone will come). or else you start protecting yourself and become a Bad Kid (now you’ve lost any privileges a child has) (and if anyone was allowed to do anything they want to you before) (now they’re encouraged to do it)

certified iconic post

currently thinking abt ted or whatever his name is

the thing about being bullied for being weird as a kid is that even if you've always embraced being weird your brain is still always looking for the line where it's too much. you can be as proudly and intentionally weird as you want and you can love being weird but your mind is still convinced there's a point where you get too weird and people start treating you like a weird looking bug again. also it feels like you reach that point 500 times a day even if everyone you've spoken to today found you pleasant and likable and even if you're completely alone in your house with nobody looking at you at all.

How much damage does this do if I hit someone with it

they beat Jesus with that

happy easter everyone
