obsessed with your latest steddie au! steve’s relationship with his parents is so emotionally abusive and manipulative and my heart is breaking that nobody seems to recognise that
Thank you!!
I really wanted to focus on how Steve's parents are abusive in a way that is a lot harder to clock.
They're not out there screaming and kicking him out of the house. These people want you to like them, and they lie like they breath.
These are the adults who downplay serious issues, who make you doubt yourself, who smooth things over or even apologize on your behalf as a way to control and isolate you.
If everyone thinks you're terrible, and your amazing, doting, angelic parents are once again swooping in to save you, then your escape routes close up rapidly--which is of course, the whole point. They want their victims to rely on them and them alone.
For a lot of the Party, that's just not an evil they've encountered yet.
Throw in the fact that Steve does in fact, have a head injury, and things get muddy FAST.
It makes for delicious, angst-ridden scenarios and I am delighted everyone's happy to come along for the ride.

it doesnt have to hurt more to be love!
it doesnt have to hurt more to be love.
there’s been a lot of very good meta about ashton, taking hits, carrying his friends, carrying heavy things for their friends, doing things that hurt, that make it hurt worse, to protect his friends from pain. because he knows how to carry pain. because they’re used to it. because they know he can keep going. because, because, because it’s what he knows, it’s all he knows.
and it’s true. ashton loves them. ashton is willing to hurt more for them, and it’s because they love their friends.
but, but, but. he shouldnt have to. people with chronic pain shouldnt have to do things that make the pain worse. we might choose to, and that is definitely an act of love, but feeling like they dont have a choice, that taking on more pain, silently, suffering without ever asking for help or saying no, i can’t do that, it hurts too much...
because, listen. for most people, chronic pain is limiting. it says no, we’re not climbing those stairs today. no, we can’t lean down and pick something up off the floor. no, we’re staying in bed with a heating pad and telling our friends sorry, i can’t make it today after all. i know you were looking forward to hanging out, but i can’t do it. maybe there’s some people with chronic pain that never have days bad enough that it limits them, but i’ve never met one.
so when i see ashton, whose friends didn’t figure out that he has chronic pain until they literally felt it in his mind, keep their pain under wraps for over a month, never saying no to carrying something (a heavy statue, fcg up a ladder, orym after he fell, laudna’s dead body for miles), swinging his hammer to defend and protect, literally picking losing battles to see if anybody is watching...to me, that doesn’t read as “look at this strong, empowered person with chronic pain who never lets it limit them”.
to me, that says “this is a person who thinks that love cannot exist without a worsening of pain, who won’t let themself pause or say no or even tell anybody that it hurts because he is deeply, deeply afraid that refusing pain is the same thing as denying his friends love”.
and that’s fucking devastating.
it doesnt have to hurt more to be love.

the thing about golden kamuy is that if you took basically any of the characters and slotted them into another series they would be the most batshit insane character in that series. but you line them all up together and they’re just one of the boys.

People like to make koala sabos keeper in fanon and while we haven't seen much of her in canon it's the same mom friend/pure lesbian bff thing fandom does to women close to their male blorbos and it's kinda misogynistic
I think as an escaped child slave koala should be even more vindictive and violent than sabo. She just yells at him because hes impulsive and going to GET THEM CAUGHT YOU ASSHOLE

My local brain injury association is hosting a webinar about dying with dignity/MAiD and is also providing resources on how to plan a funeral. Ah, to be disabled in Canada.

Asking for aizawa headcannons ❤️
Heyooooo!!!
Aizawa definitely has early-onset arthritis, specifically osteoarthritis (which I think is the one ppl most commonly think of with elderly ppl) and it got a lot worse after the USJ incident
It’s especially bad in his knees, fingers, and elbows, and especially in the morning/when he’s tense or in one position for a while, they tend to lock up
It started bc of his tendency to get badly injured during underground work, and he’s actually had a tone of surgeries and some replacements (so he takes meds for his chronic pain). I think bc of all that, he also has some damaged nerves
It was easier to maintain after becoming a teacher, because although he still did some hero work, it wasn’t nearly as demanding on his body. Still bad, because teaching hero students is also very physically demanding. After USJ, however, he started getting more flares of pain and things acting up, and his poor resting and sleeping schedules don’t help with that in the slightest
He’s just……. Really bad at resting. Like he really doesn’t give himself enough time to fully heal before doing something else. I think that because of this, he has several alarms set on his phone (by Hizashi ofc. He never bothered to turn them off and won’t admit it actually helps) telling him to eat something, drink something, take his meds, etc The alarms are set for the weekends bc he doesn’t really have the structure of school schedules to remind him, so he’s much more likely to forget that he’s a human with human needs

going by how the metal bracing on brons legs is placed, especially in truth, i think how her legs work is theyre kinda floppy and she can't stand normally. she has no issue on the range of movement as she can kick and ride a bike but as the bracing goes up past the knee, i could see her being unable to actively move her knee or joints, which is what the prosphetics are there for, to hold her in place
yeah i think that makes sense

sorry to bother but could you please tag your will/gareth posts? it's only a 2/3 year gap but it still makes me feel some type of way, so i prefer not to see it.
Yeah, I totally get it!
I will do my best, but I do want to give a heads up and let you know I am very bad at tagging. Its not malicious, I have a TBI and some other, ongoing dumb brain things that make things like tags, the chat, etc complicated for me, particularly since I'm mostly a mobile user (it's why my spelling is horrendous in tags/comments and if you ever see me talk on discord/twitter or other fast-text situations, my spelling, grammar and general way of speaking is often very incorrect/disjointed.
It's also why I take a while to respond to certain things--I need a keyboard, a solid chunk of dedicated time, and Grammarly or another checker to make my shit be readable/understandable.)
I will tell ya I'll stop reblogging greatwise content that isn't mine, since that is where my tagging issues get me and just not reblogging it is the easier and less anxiety inducing solution for me, but I will still write it, since I only upload my own content from a computer and can tag for a block list, so you can make decisions for yourself as needed.
