I need more ghost ghost
Like their dynamic and how it evolves. Do they eventually reach an understand does ghost ever move on and let go😭 does he get jealous if she has friends over
Please I'm feral for the spooky idea even crumbs would satisfy me
Any day now, he'll get bored.
You keep telling yourself that, but it hasn't happened yet. Your ghost just seems to be settling in to his roll as household haunting. If anything you're getting too used to him. You're used to the cold watched feeling when you lay in bed at night. You're used to the handprints in fogged glass after your shower. You're used to putting things down and having them disappear. Hell you're even used to the rasping whispers that sometimes fill the air when you're not listening.
You're really not that interesting. If you were a ghost you would've moved on by now. You certainly wouldn't be haunting some barely liveable house or bothering the only person stupid enough to try restoring it.
You set a mug of tea on your ghost's little corner altar and drag a chair to sit down in front of it. He likes black tea, English breakfast or Earl Grey, splash of milk and a dash of sugar. You know the order well enough by now, all the ingredients he'd previously tipped over to make a mess of your kitchen. "I'm thinking of tackling the bathroom today, got the tile in so-" you reach down to tug a square of green tile out of the bag at your feet, "-I gotta start ripping up the old stuff." The tea on Ghost's altar bubbles in annoyance. "Don't get fussy you helped pick the new tile, remember?"
A single bubble pops on the tea's surface. A dismissive yes. Good enough for you.
"Be a lot easier if you didn't go scaring off the contractors," you grumble. The air is still for a long moment as you sip your morning tea. You feel a little silly staring at a mug of tea and waiting for it to talk to you. One bubble for yes, two for no, not a perfect system but working well enough so far.
You reach to tap the rim of the mug, see if the metaphorical mic is still on, and notice its been drained. Then all the hair on the back of your neck stands on end, the air around you dropping degrees by the breath.
"Can't trust them," his voice, so low and rumbling, fills the space beside your ear. Your stomach drops, and you have to stop yourself from reaching back to brush the sensation away. Fuck he's gotten chatty recently.
"You just don't like them," you keep your eyes on his altar, "you just gotta get to know them, I mean, you didn't like me when I first moved in!"
"Still," there's a long breath, a rasping wheeze that sounds painful, sometimes you wonder if it has to do with how your ghost died, "don't."
You gasp, standing from your chair and feeling whatever ghostly hold was talking to you dissipate. "See if I make you any more tea," you tell him. You will, obviously, but you try to make the threat sound sincere. He doesn't need to know that you don't mean it. After all what's a dead man going to do to you?

i think one of the reasons i find rick so compelling as an autistic character is that a bunch of his autistic traits are not treated as either purely good or bad but instead a mix of both. or just neutral parts of him as a person.
like on one hand his tendency to hyperfixate on things heavily contributes to his creativity and problem solving when it comes to his inventions and schemes. but he also often gets far too carried away and it ends up causing issues later down the line (eg: gotron)
like its very refreshing to see a character whose autistic traits arent … mutually exclusive. it makes him feel more real and less like a caricature

so funny to me when ppl reblog mabel quotes out of context. haha yeah it’s the funney faerie lesbian show right? mhm. hey wanna read my paper about why Lolo Garcia is the best trans rep in fiction podcasts. hey wanna read the dozens of articles that give clear context to the Irish and Indigenous Mexican roots of the podcast and why it is written the way that it is? Hey wanna see my intensely complicated lore chart? Hey wanna know how Jonathan Mills and Thomas irrevocably changed my life and how I understand masculinity and queerness? Hey wanna hear about how Anna Limón is one of the most important reasons I had in figuring out my own brain? Hey wanna know Mabel Martin’s incredibly fucked up backstory? Wanna hear about the cult? Do you? Hm?

i love how every few weeks ppl on horny lesbian tumblr are reminded fat ppl exist and then yall overcompensate and are like "yay fat people!! I'd totally fuck you!!!" and rb some posts (mostly art or text) of mostly hyperfeminine ppl who aren't like. stick thin and maybe a fat person here or there then over the next few weeks y'all forget abt us bc the performance is over bc the post reminding yall that fat lesbians exist has died down - only for the cycle to start a few weeks later

therapy is not for losers, it is for the brave! imagine how strong you have to be to rip your beating bruised heart out and present it to a stranger. do you think you're brave?
.
ykw. i used to be a very sensitive little kid, a total crybaby. when i would get upset or frightened by something (like a honey bee that i couldn't differentiate from a wasp), my dad would hold me gently and call me a 'brave girl.' he taught me that bravery isn't about never feeling fear, rather, it is about understanding your own fear and finding a way to overcome it.
my dad passed away when i was almost 7. his absence and my grief have haunted me all my life.
but. god. isnt it amazing that i made a sad little post on the internet and added some bitter afterthoughts in the tags, like whispering my sorrow to the void, after days of experiencing the most intense suicidal ideation of my life, and a stranger read it and took the time to send an anonymous message
and isnt it amazing that you somehow picked the exact words that reminded me of the person i love the most, words that my dad might have said to me if he was here today
for most of my life, i have felt haunted by reminders of him. but this message felt like being held by him again. i feel like you have returned to me all the hope and strength that had been slipping through my hands
thank you so much anon

Anyway, belittling people who can't work/are physically and/or mentally disabled is wrong. Stop it.
Angry about your tax dollars? These people are not the problem. Billionaires avoiding taxes are. Stop attacking the disabled, the mentally ill, the addicted, the homeless, the single parents, etc when you should be attacking the wealthy who could literally end poverty (and fund free general health and mental health care) in the western world in less than a month. The whole world in less than a year.
"nobody owes you anything–" EVERYONE DESERVES the human right to live and not everyone can live by themselves. It's funny because many of you anti-welfare people wouldn't say that to a traumatized war veteran, right? So why is okay to say it to a traumatized person who grew up the victim of incestuous rape? Why is one trauma more deserving of support than another? "Being unable to work because you have PTSD after years of childhood trauma I can excuse as just an excuse, but I draw the line at veterans with PTSD!"
I have been happy to support moms, babies, veterans, the disabled and the mentally ill with my tax dollars. I'll be even happier when we stop playing the blame game amongst ourselves and go for the real problem: the billionaires who did not accumulate that wealth fairly, do not need that much money for one person/family anyway, and still go out of their way to avoid taxes.
Stop defending billionaires. Start defending the poor and oppressed.
