shout out to Aardman for making a movie that has a lead female character that's well written and feels like a real person (even though she's a chicken), a predominantly female cast with only one or two supporting male characters (pulling a reverse Smurfette trope) whom all have diverse personalities and quirks, and a main romance between said female lead and the play boy male character that's an enemies to lovers that doesn't at all feel misogynistic or like they actually hate each other. And shout out to him for making the main mastermind villain a woman as well. It's an action-adventure movie with a female lead narrative that feels entirely gender neutral and it's one of the few I can think of that does this. Also shout our to him for making the chickens all look anthropomorphized in a way that isn't overly sexualized (or sexual at all really). If there were an award for "man who actually knows how to write female characters and present them as people" it would go to Aardman. Well done.

#kinda hyperfixating on Chicken Run rn because of an assignment #And this is exactly what I've been thinking #Chicken Run isn't treated like a “girls movie” even though it takes place on a farm of only female chickens #And also love the gender non-conformity among the cast too? Mac is an icon

BPD culture is thinking about your FP everyday all the time. Any situation I'm in, I will immediately think of what it would be like if my FP was here. I go to sleep thinking of them, I wake up wishing they were here. I pretend as if they're watching me to keep me motivated.

BPD culture is MY FP FUCKING NOTICED WHEN A RANDOM GIRL HAD A DIFFERENT FACIAL EXPRESSION AND ASKED HER IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG, BUT NOT WHEN I WAS ALMOST CRYING. WHY DO YOU HATE ME?!?!?

it feels like a lot of "progressive" online spaces have really latched onto this ooo boykisser pastel stockings kitty femboy image of GNC men and i have to admit i have concerns about how those spaces would respond to GNC men who either can't or simply don't want to look like that

#I feel like it shows a lot of people have such a narrow perspective of it that they think a GNC man can only be overtly hyperfeminine #When really a GNC man is simply any man that doesn't conform to gender roles #It doesn't mean they have to try and imitate and try to align to the opposite gender's assigned gender roles #They can simply opt out of confirming to either of them #Some of my most GNC male OCs never even wear makeup or nail polish or feminine clothing

bpd culture is changing your oc’s lore so they don’t suffer as much because they have bpd too. i won’t be as cruel to you as the world was to me. your FP will still love you after years of separation. you’ll be best friends again. you’ll stop having him as an FP and you’ll fall in love. look at the world i’ve made for you — isn’t it so pretty? you have the scar of his bite on your wrist and he has the scar of your bite on his shoulder. he loves you just as much as you love him. he didn’t find it weird or creepy that you based everything around him, he was flattered!

i will never be as cruel to you as the world was to me.

BPD culture is feeling like if you stop putting effort in and initiating conversations, you'll never talk to anyone ever again.

suspected bpd culture is i dont trust that you actually like me. you just tolerate me. i know if i was in your position itd be fucking annoying to deal with me and my constant need for attention and my constant breakdowns, so stop pretending already! just tell me you hate me and want nothing to do with me

BPD culture is feeling like you've lied about yourself when someone calls you a nice person, you've somehow manipulated them and they've fallen for your lies, because they can't honestly think that

BPD student culture is trying to distract yourself from a split by doing assignments but being unable to actually do them because your emotions are literally blocking out your line of thought

BPD + autism culture is wanting to share your special interests with your fp but being too afraid they’ll think you’re annoying.

.

[sourgecko]

bpd + autism culture is wanting your friends to communicate Clearly so you always know how they feel about you so you can regularly plan things, but feeling like a feral animal thats been cornered every time they Do communicate

but shoving that feeling down, shoving everything down, because IM not allowed to show emotions but HE is.

BPD culture is wishing that people gave you advice more nuanced than just "leave your FP!", they never listen to me explaining why I can't, that I'd be completely alone outside of them and my mental health would plummet to dangerous levels. If leaving them was an option I would have already done it but I can't tolerate the risk factors of it right now

[sourgecko]

BPD culture is sobbing uncontrollably because I’ve convinced myself my FP hates me and is gonna leave only for them to text me and suddenly I’m completely fine again
