I Wake Up Early But I Not Refreshed And Energized Unless I Am Stressed.

A lot of pop psychology gets thrown around and since I already have a headache, here's preventing you lot from making it worse.

Love-bombing: A manipulation tactic of increasing affection and grand gestures before or after doing something abusive, specifically to weasel one's way out of consequences.

What it is not: A streak of affection and generosity towards friends/loved ones.

Trauma-bonding: Knowingly traumatizing someone to take advantage of their vulnerable state, to then act like the "hero" or the one who cheers them up.

What it is not: Bonding over similar traumas.

Gaslighting: *Knowingly* convincing someone they cannot trust their own perception of a situation in pursuit of one's own narrative.

What it is not: Misaligned perception of events.

Narcissist: Someone afflicted with Narcissistic Personality Disorder, a traumagenic cluster B disorder, that struggles with self-obsession, paranoia, craving validity from the public, delusions of grandeur, and social disconnection.

It is not: Your rubbish ex that cheated on you.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

i think you people put too much pressure on what is or isnt a date like a date is literally just being together with the person you want to be with

tip: You can write about the same character as many times as you want. Who's going to stop you? God?

Because of speed and convenience. If it of any comfort, I use a kettle instead of microwave.

I just want every non-american who gets mad about microwaving hot water for tea to know that my family owns a kettle and I use the microwave anyway. I will not change and I want you to die mad about it.

When the mutual you really enjoy seeing in ur notes shows up in ur notes

Family reunion!! (Sorta)

An idea came to me at 3 am and I’m soooooo tired

I don’t get suprised by AO3 tags often but I have to say I’ve never seen these two words together. 

Day 2 (Two)

 Lesbian Pride

Characters: “Thomasia [Last name not decided | SHOA] & Aderyn [Last name not decided | SHOA]”

  [Image Description: A woman named Aderyn is carrying her girlfriend, Thomasia, in her arms. Aderyn has a lighter skin tone with wavy hair that is shaved on the side, she is looking lovingly at her girlfriend. There is a note next to her to remind the creator (myself) that she is meant to be of German descent. 

  Thomasia is a woman who has a condition that causes Hyperpigmentation causing patches of skin to be darker than the surrounding skin. Her skin is darker in comparison with Aderyn’s. Thomasia doesn’t have the majority of her right arm (has only part of the upper arm, just below the shoulder. Thomasia has her left arm wrapped around Aderyn. There is a note next to Thomasia to note that she has the condition Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).]

  [Text in Image: Thomasia x Aderyn; (under Thomasia) twin (the meaning of the name and a note that Thomasia has a twin); (under Thomasia and twin) has RA (short for Rheumatoid Arthritis); (under Aderyn) German; June 2nd (second); Lesbian Pride]

  These two are nicknamed the ‘Cool Aunts’ of the class as while, neither of them are responsible for the class, they still are some form parent figures for the rest. Thomasia’s ability is the ability to teleport to places she has been, which is useful when trying find where a group of classmates are hiding around campus. Adelyn is one of the people you should call if you broke something but don’t want the teachers to know, with her ability to create a mimic of any object (minus organic material such as food or real animals) using a substance she can create and mold at will, she can easily fix it and if it is beyond repair, she can dig a hole to bury it.

It’s important to do your own research

I will state that when I saw this gif, I immediately teared up as it made me feel seen in the good way.

I use a wheelchair when doing things like grocery shopping, going to school (When I did go), and just going to participate in fun activities that require a lot of walking in between places.

But I always struggled emotionally with using my wheelchair, especially in school, because I could walk easily, I can run, I can sprint really fast for short bursts, I can climb. I can do all the things everyone else can do but I can't do it freely.

If I wanted to be the kid I was when I was first diagnosed and run around having fun with the other kids I could beat in races only weeks ago, I had to stop and think about whether or not if I did, if I would be able to get up the next day. Because if I decided to play but was wrong about how much I would feel it the next day, I would often end up barely able to move around my house.

So I needed the wheelchair, but I wasn't too old and weak to stand up and be able to carry my weight, I wasn't paralyzed, I wasn't missing limbs, so because all the depictions I had seen in media at that point in my life often implied that those were the only reasons for people to have a wheelchair, I felt as if I was some form of faker.

But it is moments like these that are just so casual about it that make the difference in kids' minds when they are going through something or just happen to be different in some way. I know that if I saw this at age 12, I would probably cry from happiness at understanding that there are other people who are like me and that I am not alone with my only company being either faceless people who I am told are going through the same things by a third party that I may never meet or people who are going something similar enough that I can relate to but yet I can tell that I am somehow slightly different from them for something that I can't control.

Sorry for the word rant. This is just something that I wanted to share so that maybe someone out there that is going through tough times needed to see this and ends up seeing it from this post. I hope that I was able to explain this in a way that can be understood and isn't just a jumble of words that only make sense to me.

I'm not sure people realise just how important this second of television is.

Showing a person in a wheelchair crossing her legs. Using her legs.

After what rtd said about davros and rose in the unleashed episodes, this was 100 percent done on purpose.

When I go out in a wheelchair I am terrified to make it noticeable that I can use my legs. Because ... well we all know why and I'm not really articulate enough to go into everything.

But this. This right here. I doubt anyone who uses a wheelchair didn't have a doubletake. A glimmer. A KNOWING about just how important this tiny, insignificant action was.

And I'm fucking here for it
