With only a few votes of diffence, Megoy managed to win over Maiggie, claiming the number one spot. Now, a full two months after the tournaments' start, the FHS shipping tournament has finally come to an end. I want to thank everyone who participated and voted, but especially everyone who sent propaganda, art and even just reblogged the polls with their opinions! You guys made this very fun :)
I hope you'll join me for the next event I've got planned (whenever that happens)!
So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
we are so ableist about memory. people with good memory take for granted the fact that they can recall as much as they can, and use that to taunt, guilt and threaten people with memory issues. many neurotypes and mental illnesses cause memory lapses. traumatic brain injuries can cause memory lapses. brain cancer can cause memory lapses.
even if your memory is good, it's not right to guilt someone because they can't remember something. trust me, people with memory problems are desperately trying to remember: it's just that we literally can't. it is a very literal "i can't remember".
at some point you have to realize that you actually have to read to understand the nuance of anything. we as a society are obsessed with summarization, likely as a result of the speed demanded by capital. from headlines to social media (twitter being especially egregious with the character limit), people take in fragments of knowledge and run with them, twisting their meaning into a kaleidoscope that dilutes the message into nothing. yes, brevity is good, but sometimes the message, even when communicated with utmost brevity, requires a 300 page book. sorry.
Loowynn fankid unleashed... A chaotic daredevil with delusions of grandeur, ready to conquer the world with nothing but their singing talents, a waveboard and this cool book about dark magic and shadows they conveniently found in their father's room. Surely nothing wrong can come out of that.
I'll think more about their backstory later... For now, have a sketch of the back of their hair and a lil drawing of the kiddo with Ray to celebrate my boy finally having a half sibling.
listen, if you want to be with someone that has ADHD and doesn’t / can’t take medicine for it, you have to understand that we just forget. Yes, we know you had us write it down and put it somewhere obvious, we still forgot. Yes, you just said it 10 times, we still forgot. Yes, you literally, to our face, seconds before, told us in detail, we turned around and forgot immediately. we forget, everything, immediately, most of the time.
