choosing to allocate spoons to hanging out and having a good time at the cost of perfectly completing all your work is not a failing it is in fact an act of survival. “too sick to work = too sick to play” is in fact ableist bullshit that you don’t have to buy into. and the fact that leisure time is treated like a privilege is a fucking travesty

"jamil is in the right and kalim is a monster" "kalim is in the right and jamil is a monster" maybe theyre both not monsters. maybe theyre both very traumatized teenage boys who are coping with that trauma by forming a codependant relationship that's harmful to both of them. maybe that codependency and the uneven power dynamic caused both of them to act in ways that they shouldn't have. maybe they have a complex relationship to each other that can't and shouldn't be reduced to one of them being a monster and the other being a innocent victim. idk though.
