i cant reblog this original post anymore because it's been lost (deleted when i was mass deleting a lot of stuff)
but important to point out that this
post has been brought up in the parliament of the united kingdom
Allow me to introduce myself. Hello, my name is Delilah, my pronouns are they/she, and I don’t exist for anyone else’s validation.
this is just a reminder that your madd is still valid and not inherently less serious or less severe if you only or mostly daydream about happy / cutesy / fluffy / funny scenarios. the content of your daydreams doesn’t have to be intrusive / violent / disturbing for it to be maladaptive.
is he “trauma dumping” on you or have you just not unpacked what the patriarchy has taught you outside of “woman bad” and you think men expressing any kind of emotion or vulnerability is bad actually.
Here’s a wild domino affect from my life.
““If you really believe that representation doesn’t matter, then why the fuck are you threatened by it? If not seeing yourself depicted in stories has no negative psychological impact - if the breakdown of who we see on screen has no bearing on wider social issues - then what would it matter if nine stories out of ten were suddenly all about queer brown women? No big, right? It wouldn’t change anything important; just a few superficial details. Because YOU can identify with ANYONE. So I guess the problem is that you just don’t want to. Because deep down, you think it’ll make stories worse. And why is that? Oh, yeah: because it means they wouldn’t all be about YOU.””

because it would threaten your white superiority
but whites want to act like they’re ignorance and racism is a sign of them being more intellectual

cERBERUS GET OUT OF THAT PIT RIGHT NOW THAT’S FOR DEAD PEOPLE NOT GOOD BOYS!!
I’m so fucked up, my emotional support imaginary friends have emotional support imaginary friends.
Aphrodite: Always has some candy in her pockets so if she meets little kids or someone sad she can cheer them up. She bewitched the candy so it’s always the favorite flavor of the person who eats it.
Hermes: Lets his friend catch a ride on his back if they’re in a hurry and there’s mad traffic. Never asks anything in return because he secretly loves normal people’s reactions to flying.
Dionysus: Reads every single post on Hestia’s blog and comments encouragements on her poems under fake names.
Hephaestus: Has an almost unhealthy addiction of adopting small stray animals for a few nights. Tried to rescue a venomous snake that was in danger of freezing once and got bitten. Had no regrets because the snake survived.
Hestia: Cooks for the family and packs their lunch in little name-coordinated boxes. Everyone pretends like they are way too mature for stuff like this but they love it.
Ares: Wears each and every friendship bracelet he’s received from kids over the literal thousands of years on his belt.
Artemis: Organizes themed Christmas greeting cards, succeeds in getting everyone in the pic (“even uncle Hades and his idiotic dog”).
Apollo: Plays the guitar and sings around campfires. Somehow manages to not be really fricking annoying while doing so. And in his own words: Doesn’t kill Hermes every time he asks for Wonderwall.
Demeter: Names plants after people she likes and grows a section of “cheer up herbs”, that smell like a combination of cotton candy and wild flowers when touched. She gives a batch to everyone from time to time to prevent family disasters. Dinnertime catastrophes decreased since she started.
Athene: Reads books in her spare time to kids and elderly. Sometimes she tells stories from her past instead of what’s actually in the book. Kids love her.
Persephone: Takes care of Cerberus when Hades is away. Acts like they don’t really get along but absolutely spoils the dog when it’s just the two of them. They even sleep in the same bed.
Hera: Somehow senses when someone in the family is in trouble. Hermes and Dionysus have escaped death thanks to this mom power several times.
Hades: Hosts the best game nights ever. Unlimited snacks, games, everything you can think of. Apollo once made fun of him and now game night’s only once every 6 months but it’s still awesome.
Poseidon: Gathers and repairs stuff that’s fallen into the sea and gives it to those in need under anonymous donations.
Zeus: Dresses up as Santa every Christmas to fly around the city real low and waves at kids who spot him from their window. Insists on keeping his beard all year long so he can “Stay in character. Method acting, ever heard of it?”
